《After the universe exploded, I became a Dungeon Master.》 001. Prologue ¡°Crap I have to hide. Where can I hide? Maybe that one over there? No someone''s overlooking that area. There has to be one around here somewhere that no one has bothered to oversee. Yes, found one!!!¡± And with that, a dim purple light flew into the FAR distance.
¡°Damn it. Why is that guy so good at running? She knows she can''t get away, so why bother?¡± said a light green light to a Dark green light. ¡°She just doesn''t like to pay up on her debts.¡± the dark green light responded with a sigh. ¡°Well come on, knowing that idiot she probably went to that small one over there. It''s so small that no one ever bothered to look over it for very long, so she probably thought we would ignore it....¡± Said the Light green light. ¡°You''re probably right, she is so stupid if she doesn''t think we would find her there. And with that two mysterious lights flew over to a small universe in the distance.
Hi, my name is David and I''m from Canada...... well it doesn''t matter at this moment because HOLY CRAP THE STARS ARE EXPLODING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That''s right THE STARS ARE EXPLODING!!!! Today started as a normal day. The same thing as always. I was just going about my normal everyday life at work as a normal cashier at a normal store, it was a little after sunset and my shift was about to end when all of a sudden I heard a loud bang outside the shop. It sounded like a car crash. So I ran outside to see what happened and if anyone needed any help. Well, nothing I could do anyway other than call for an ambulance. When I got outside all I saw was, well Armageddon. There were several cars in a pile-up near the store but no one was looking at the carnage, everyone was looking up at the sky. I was in a panic about all the blood and hurt people in the car crash, but I was also curious about why no one else was paying the crash any attention so I glanced at the sky for a moment and froze at what I saw. Like I said Armageddon. One after the other, faster and faster in some kind of strange pattern, all the stars in the sky were exploding in brilliant flashes of light. When I saw that I''m not ashamed to say I almost crapped my pants in fear, as I''m sure a lot of other people were feeling the same way due to all the accidents that I could hear happening in the distance. After a few moments of complete and utter panic, I started to wonder WTF was going on. It felt like I might have gone insane and was seeing things, but when I looked around and saw everyone else was still looking at the sky I knew that it probably wasn''t just me. So then I tried to think of what to do next. But alas, there was nothing I could do for the next moment, BOOM!!! Earth exploded along with its sun.
¡°Sigh, why did you have to hide? We had to destroy an entire universe just to find you. Sure it''s a pitifully small universe, but still, it had some sentient creatures in it.¡± Grumbled the Dark green light. ¡°I don''t want to pay, I don''t want to pay, I DON''T WWWWAAAANNNNTTTTT TO PAY!¡± Whined the purple light. ¡°Well, we caught you so you have no choice. Now pay up, or do we have to get rough again? ¡°Arg, fine, I will pay up. here 7 [Universe Seeds] Just take them and let me go.¡± ¡°Do you think that a universe exploding would damage our memories or something, it is 12, not 7, now pay up.¡± The Light green light furiously looked at the purple light and said. ¡°Oh, and for the damage caused by you for running away and making us blow up that place, you have to bless a few souls from that place and send them to our universes. About 100,000,000,000 should do.¡± ¡°Tsh. Fine, fine, whatever, 100 bill is nothing, whatever.¡± and with that 12 tiny but incredibly brilliant little dots were sent over from the purple light over to the dark green and the light green lights. ¡°Good, I expect the souls over at our places within 1 Trillion years. No later, got it? It doesn''t matter which planet or universe just get them over there and don''t be too stingy with their blessings.¡± snickered the dark green light. And with that, the dark green light and the light green light cheerily flew off back to their own universes.
¡°Damn bastards, why did I have to lose my bet with them? It will take forever to get 12 more [Universe seeds]. Well, I might as well gather up the 100 bill souls before they all dissipate. Hehe, she didn''t say that she wanted good quality souls at least so I can just gather them randomly.¡±
¡°There that only took 200,000 years, that was surprisingly fast, barely the blink of an eye. Now time to start the fun part, the blessings, hehe.¡±
¡°What the hell, where am I? Didn''t the world explode? How am I still alive¡± David said while looking around himself. He was in a vast area with nothing around him except for a purple glow to be seen anywhere. ¡°Well you are partly wrong there, yes your world did explode (sorry about that), but you didn''t survive. You died.¡± A booming voice came from all around David. ¡°Wait, What? I died!?! Then how the world am I still here?¡± said David while panicking and trying to look everywhere. ¡°And who are you?¡± ¡°Well, the answer to some of your questions is, well I''m what you might call a god. And right now you''re nothing but a soul that I''m messing around with for a bit. Hehe.¡± replied the voice. ¡°Soul! God!!! MESSING AROUND WITH!!!!!!!!!!!¡± ¡°Yep, to tell you the truth it wasn''t just your planet that was blown up, but your whole universe. I will admit it was my fault that the whole place got wrecked but meh, your whole universe only had 32 Tredecillion sentient life forms in it, which is only about the size of one small galaxy in a normal small universe, so no big deal. (Authors note that''s a 1 with 42 zeros after it) And with my big heart, I have decided to give some souls from your puny universe a blessing and send you to a new one. I''m so generous aren''t I?¡± This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. ¡°Your fault the WHOLE UNIVERSE BLEW UP! Why the hell would you do that?¡± David said while feeling like he was just about to faint but since he was just a soul he couldn''t. ¡°WELLLLLLL since you''re the first soul I''m messing around with I guess I can tell you. You see I made a bet with some other gods the other day about which leaf would fall off a tree first, and well they won. I didn''t want to pay up so I hid in your universe and while trying to find me well BOOM. Hehe¡± cheerily said the voice. ¡°You lost a bet about some leafs falling, came to my universe to hide, and boom? What kind of god does that? Are you a god of chaos or something?¡± David was almost at a loss for words. ¡°Yep you guessed right, well I like to think of myself more of a god of randomness and fun things, but generally people say I''m a god of Chaos. You can call me Charel.¡± Said Charel the chaos god. ¡°Charel....... Charel the chaos god.... ok that sure is a random name for a god.....¡± flabbergasted that''s all David could respond with. ¡°Well Charel isn''t my real name, but I don''t think you could say my real name anyways. SOOOOOOO anyways down to the fun part. As I said earlier I''m going to give you a blessing and send you to a new universe.¡± ¡°I''m not sure I want a blessing from a god of chaos, but I bet I don''t have a choice do I?¡± ¡°Nope, none.¡± ¡°Without further ado, the [Wheel of Blessings]¡± As that was said a huge wheel that looked like the wheel from ¡°The Price is Right¡± appeared out of nowhere in David''s sights. The Diameter was so large it looked like a planet stretching from one end to the other and each section was extremely small about the size of a dinner plate. ¡°This here is my favourite part about giving blessings, This thing is my [Wheel of Blessings]. It has every blessing I can think of from what kind of jobs you could have to cheat like abilities or how many girls/boys you can add to a harem and everything in between, maybe even a combo of all the above if you''re lucky. Hehe. Although not everyone might consider some of these things a blessing, say if you are a boy and get the 10 boys in your harem but your straight hehe¡± as Charle was saying this she was giggling to herself. ¡° Holy crap, this guy is insane, What the hell is that thing going to land on for me, please not the 10 boy harem! I want superpowers or something cool like that if I have to get a blessing from this wacko.¡± David was furiously thinking to himself. Then the wheel started to spin. ¡°Ho, let''s see what you will get. It''s always fun to see what luck will bring.¡± Said a gleeful Charel. Now and then David was able to see a flash of the blessings on the wheel and stuff like [Reborn as a princess in a Prosperous country], [Appear as a 15-year-old outside a town and have the ability to create golems], [Will never stub their toe], or [Become the underwear of the most beautiful woman in the world] and [Become the underwear of the most handsome man in the world] would pass by. Some blessings made him want to shout out in joy while others wanted to make him whale out in despair. Every time he did this Charle would snicker to herself which would make David feel even more nervous. Slowly ever so slowly after what felt like hours the wheel started to slow down. And finally, it came to a stop. When it came to a stop David was at a loss for words. He had no idea what to say. The reason he couldn''t say anything was that the blessing the wheel came to a rest on was [Reincarnate as a Dungeon master with full memories of past life.] ¡°OHH nice one, haha I really like this variation of this blessing, it''s one of my best ones. You sure are a lucky kid, this one has SOOOO much potential for fun, I might actually consider keeping an eye on you now and then to see what you do with this one.¡± Gleefully said Charel. ¡°What in the world is a Dungeon master? I like the "with full memories of past life" part but Dungeon master?¡± If David had a face he would have an extreme look of confusion on it right now. ¡°Hehe, you will see, well time to send you off and start with the next person, but it looks like I''m going to have fun checking in on you in the future hehe.¡± And with that, the purple light around David intensified and his world went dim. 002. Second encounter with a God "Hmm? What''s this? Oh looks like ???? has started to send us some of those souls. Well, the quality of this one''s soul isn''t too bad I guess. I wonder what kind of blessings ???? forced on it." After thinking that the Dark green Light sent out a wave of energy that enveloped the soul it just received. "Let''s see, "[Reincarnate as a Dungeon master with full memories of past life.]" is it......... If I had hands and a face I would face palm right now. WTF is wrong with that guy, this soul was only of the most basic human archetype. I guess that is why she is a chaos god. Well if it''s going to be like this I might as well help the poor sod out a little with my own blessing." grumbled the dark green light.
"What is it now? Why is it green now, wasn''t it purple before?" After what felt like an eternity and yet only an instant, David came back to himself after his previous blackout. As he became aware of his surroundings once more he noticed that he was still in a space completely void of anything but himself, this time however instead of a purple light permeating the surroundings this time it was a dark green light. "Greetings poor soul, I am the God of the universe that you have been sent to. You may call me Aidan, I''m a goddess of the deep forest. After seeing what that dipstick of a god gave you for a blessing I decided I should help you out a little and give you a little blessing of my own, or else you would probably die again very shortly after reincarnation." The now introduced Goddess of The deep forest Aidan said in a slow and calm manner. "Arg another God... At least you don''t seem as insane as the last one. Wait, what? Did you say I would probably die again very shortly? What do you mean by that?" struck with a moment of panic David asked. "Well, that idiot gave you a [Reincarnate as a Dungeon master with full memories of past life.] blessing. But that would mean that you won''t get any of the natural instincts that come with being a Dungeon Master, so you will have no idea what to do, or how to do it, and would probably get yourself killed fairly fast." Aidan said with a sigh.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. "There it is again, that dungeon master thing, what is a Dungeon Master? Charel said I will find out later then just made me black out and sent me here." David asked while feeling some trepidation not sure if he really wanted to find out or not. "Pft Charel, that guy called herself Charel haha. Anyways there are lots of different kinds of Dungeon Masters. Basically, you are as the name suggests the master of a dungeon. You Create a dungeon using [Life Force] and do things with it, like summon monsters to kill adventurers to get their [Life Force] to make your dungeon bigger and hopefully better. That is the most basic type of Dungeon Master out there. not all go that route to get [Life Force] but most do, but you have to find ways to get [Life Force] one way or another or you will die." Explained Aidan "...Great, I died, then am forced to reincarnate and have to become a mass murderer so I won''t have to die again..." David sighed "Yep, that''s basically right. Don''t worry, us Gods don''t condemn Dungeon Masters or anything, We actually like them because they give us something fun to watch with all the adventurers rooting around their dungeons." giggled Aidan "Damn it, is this one insane too or are all gods like this?" thought David "Enough with the boring stuff, now it''s time for me to give you your blessing. I will give you my [Menu System] blessing. I give this blessing to all the sentient creatures in my universes, but the one I''m giving you is a little stronger than the normal one I pass out. It will have a few more options than the normal one." beamed Aidan "[Menu System]? That sounds like it''s for a video game." said David in a deadpan voice "Yep, that''s right, for us gods, all life is just a game we play to stave off the boredom." Aidan said in a cheery voice "......." "Ok time to send you off." And with that, the dark green light around David started to get brighter and brighter until he couldn''t take it anymore and blacked out once more. 003. Planet Fall "Crap, what is it this time?" When David woke up once more this time he was surrounded by nothing but a black space. At first, he thought it was another one of those insane gods, but after a few moments, nothing happened. As he was wondering what was going on he then soon discovered that he could see bright specks of light all around him and soon realised they were stars. He was floating in space! After a while, he realised that he wasn''t simply floating motionless in space as he could faintly see that the stars seemed like they were moving past him. "Wow, this is beautiful and all but what is going on?"
BORING! I don''t know how long it has been but there is nothing to do other than to count stars out here." After an undetermined amount of time of flying through space despite the awe-inspiring scenery, David was getting extremely bored. To pass the time all he could do was count how many stars of specific colours he could see. "Hmm? What is that, haven''t seen a star that colour before." in front of David he suddenly noticed a blood red coloured star. As he was looking at it, he noticed that it was getting bigger... and bigger... and bigger. "Wait, that''s not a star, it''s a planet! Maybe that''s the planet those damnable gods are sending me to. I really hope not. That colour looks a little ominous..." As he was getting closer he could faintly start to make out some of the features of the planet. It seemed to be covered in seas of lava and giant volcanoes spewing ash and even more lava everywhere. But to David''s dismay, he seemed to be heading straight for it. "Crap, crap, crap, What the hell kind of planet is that? That chaos God said that I was going to be reincarnated, If I reincarnate on a planet like that it would only be for a microsecond before I''m burnt to a crisp and die again!" Despite his dismay and horror at the thought of going to that planet, he was getting ever closer to it. But just as it would seem he was going to enter the atmosphere of the planet David noticed the angle he was flying at would JUST miss this hell planet. But just as he passed the blood-red planet he immediately noticed another planet right behind it, this one was dark green and SEVERAL times larger than the blood-red planet, He hadn''t seen it before because of how bright the lava planet was compared to the dark green one. This time there was no mistaking it this was the planet he was going to. As David got closer to this planet he could make out that there were several large continents, oceans and seas on the side of the planet that was facing him alone. After seeing this he realised that this planet must be several times larger than Earth. It was hard to tell the exact size of the planet but from his guesses the smallest of the continents that he could see looked to be AT LEAST 50 times the size of all the Americas combined. As he got even closer he could see that all of the continents were mostly covered in forests, giant lakes, and mountains with very few open spaces. Even the oceans seemed to be covered in bright and colourful coral everywhere. You could tell even from such a distance that this place was full of life that Earth couldn''t even come close to its level of vitality.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "Wow, what a beautiful planet. I wonder what the creatures look like on it. If I''m going to be reincarnated in this place it might not be so bad." Just as David was thinking that he saw something move in the ocean. "What was that? I''m still so far away from the planet how could I see something moving?" As if to deny him all of a sudden he saw the movement again and he noticed what it was. At first, he thought it was an island but after looking at it closer he realised that it was a GIANT turtle! A turtle the size of Greenland! "DAMN! If there are turtles that large here I don''t want to see what else lives in this world...." David was completely flabbergasted, but he didn''t have much time to worry about that because he was getting close to entering the world. From the look of it, he was heading for the land mass right in the centre. "No, no, no, no, no, why am I not slowing down? I''m going to hit at full speed at this rate! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Despite his panic, David''s speed was not slowing down in the least. He was going at such speeds that let him travel through space and arrive at this world. All he could do now was hope that since he was still only a soul he wouldn''t be harmed when he landed. Even though he was panicking about his speed, David still had a bit of curiosity and was able to look around at the world as he was getting closer and so could see the occasional flying creature in the sky when he got closer. And what he saw astounded and frightened him even more, he saw Dragons, Griffins and other mythical creatures in the sky. When he saw these creatures he knew he was definitely heading to a VERY different world than his previous earth. The land mass was getting larger but Davids speed was not slowing down, soon he could make out smaller mountains rivers, lakes and other features like open plains that he couldn''t see from so far before. He could see the area he was headed for, it looked to be an area that was like the rest of the world covered in forest. Even though it was forest he could see some gaps in it that looked like clearings of grasslands and in one of them not too far from where it looked like he was going to land he could even see what looked like it might be a town. In but a few moments he was only a few hundred meters from the ground, then only a few dozen meters then a large explosion of him landing...... was not something that happened but instead, he seemed to go right through the ground without even making a sound. He realised this was probably because he was still only a soul. It was then that he noticed that he had slowed down considerably and that he could still see around himself even though he was surrounded by dirt and rocks. He could see every rock, every burrowing creature and everything else around the area including for some reason a creepy clown doll. He also saw that he seemed to be headed for a small cave around 15m underground. The cave seemed to be around 8m squared, 7m high. and in the very middle of the cave was a glowing completely clear gem about the size of an average pebble. The pebble was somehow floating in mid-air over a rounded of Stalagmite that jutted out of the ground and had a hole on the top of it. David could feel a strong pulling sensation coming from this pebble, and his soul was being sucked toward it. When he was pulled into the room the gems light quickly changed from the clear colour it had been before and became purple with some dark green mixed into it. The exact same colours as the gods that he had met before. The purple was the most dominant colour with the dark green making veins of dark green spreading throughout it. When this happened the suction power of the crystal redoubled and David''s soul was sucked into the crystal and the world went blank for the 3rd time. 004. Awakening

"What in the world is this? Why is there a floating blue box right in front of me? And what is with the smiley face at the end of the message." After who knows how long David finally awoke and what first greeted him was a floating blue box with a short message. About a min later the box gradually faded to nothing. Then a new one popped into being.
To start you off just think [Menu].

"Wow, it really appeared. Lots of options too. This so looks like a game menu. Ohhh nice, I have a [Spells] section! Does that mean I will be able to use magic?" When David noticed the [Spells] section he immediately focused on its section and it instantly opened a new window. To his disappointment tho it was totally blank. "Well, that is disappointing. I guess it''s not going to be that easy. I think I might as well check my [Stats] next to see what my new body is like." It was then that David realised he hadn''t even looked at himself yet. "Whaa, what is this I can''t move. I can''t feel my limbs. Don''t tell me I reincarnated as a paraplegic! Wait that''s not right, I can still look around. The spot I''m looking from seems to be able to be moved if I think about it. I seem to still be in that room I saw before. It can''t be, don''t tell me my new body is that small pebble I saw before?" With that, David willed his sight to look around the room and when he turned it to look back at where he started from he could see a purple glowing pebble. "I guess I was right. My body seems to be that pebble... How am I able to look around like this? I guess it probably is a [Dungeon Master] thing. Now I''m even more curious what my [Stats] look like. Too bad I didn''t have this ability in my old life, I want to be able to compare whatever my new stats are to the old ones.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent.

"Ok, not what I was expecting. Only HP, MP, and a Lifeforce stats? What is with that? I thought that that forest god what was her name.. oh ya Aidan... said that she gave me a buffed version of the [Menu System], what is so buffed about this? Mabe, it''s that help Option at the end of the menu? She did say that the blessing she gave me would help me survive." As David selected the [Help] a new blue box popped up saying:
Congratulations you have selected [Help]! That means you have been blessed by the great and almighty, beautiful beyond all others, and transcendentally wise goddess Aidan. Only those who through her great mercy receive her special blessing may select [Help] From the [Menu System].
"What a self-absorbed message that God seems to have left me. Well, she is a god, I suppose she is allowed to be self-absorbed."

Suddenly a Bright flash happened in the room David was in and a small figure that looked like a little girl appeared floating in mid-air. She was only 10cm big, her hair was a dark green and in a bob cut, she was wearing a purple dress that went down to her knees and she only looked like she was 9 years old. She also had a pair of large double wings on her back like a dragonflies that were a see-through purple with green veins throughout, and they were almost as big as she was. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Why, why, I was so close to being born. I only needed a few more days. Why did someone else have to come in at the last minute and take my place as the [Dungeon Master]? My soul is going to dissipate now...... Eek, Hey, What''s this? I''m alive? How? How? How am I alive? I''m not the [Dungeon master] but I''m alive? Oh, I get it now. I''m a [Dungeon Fairy]. I might not be the [Dungeon Master] but at least my soul hasn''t dissipated. Hey, Hey, If I''m a [Dungeon Fairy] that means that the one who became the [Dungeon Master] is my new master. I wonder what master is like. I Hope he is nice to me and lets me play all I want. Oh, Oh, cool look at me. I''m all purple and green. That means 2 gods have blessed my master! Wow, Wow, 2 my master must be REAAALLLLY lucky!" "..................................................................Hyper............................... This is what happens when I chose [Help]?" 005. The first monster David was dumbfounded when he looked at the hyper fairy that had just appeared out of nowhere as he had selected [Help] from the menu. "Hey listen, hey listen, you just took my place as the [Dungeon Master], but you also didn''t let my soul dissipate and even made me a [Dungeon Fairy] and became my master. I love you but I also hate you so since love is more fun I will love you. Why haven''t you talked yet? Are you mute? Your not mute are you? This would be no fun if you''re mute. Well playing charades with you could be fun. Wait, wait, how would that work? You''re just a pebble right now. Huh, how do I know what charades is? I have never played it before... or anything for that matter. AHH I know now, I''m not just any [Dungeon Fairy] I have the help functions knowledge. Woo, I''m a smart fairy." As the fairy was saying all this she was flittering around the room all over the place looking at David''s pebble, the walls and other features of the area they were in. "Um, no IM not mute. Wait, maybe I am since I''m just a pebble?" "YA, YA, it''s masters voice, I can hear you loud and clear." "Ok, how in the world can you hear me I don''t have a mouth... or any thing else for that matter." "Hee hee, It''s because you''re the [Dungeon Master] and you''re my master. If you couldn''t communicate with me how would I be able to help you? Helping you is my job and I would be really sad If I couldn''t help you. So, so, you used the [Help] function in the [Menu] because you needed help right? What can I help master with?" "First why do you keep calling me master? Second, what did you mean when you said I took your place as the [Dungeon Master]. Third How can you hear me? And fourth and most importantly WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??" "Giggle, Giggle, I call you master because you''re my master. Second when your soul took over the [Dungeon Core] the core was JJUUSSTT about to finish making my soul to be the new [Dungeon master] and you kicked me out, but yaaaa I didn''t dissipate and was able to become your [Dungeon Fairy]. Third We can talk with our minds!! That''s so cool, isn''t it? No matter how far apart we are within your area we can talk with our minds. And lastly, the most fun bit is you are a [Dungeon Master] that''s what''s going on! You can do so many things and have so much fun. I may not be the [Dungeon Master] my self but I still get to have all that fun with you because IM your [Dungeon Fairy]. Yay" "Ok, ok calm down a bit will ya? Oh great, you have me doing it now. You''re making me dizzy flying around the room like that. Could you tell me why you popped up when I used [Help]?" "Why, why should I stop? It''s so fun flying around all over. There are so many interesting things. Oh yeah, I "popped" up as you said because you used [Help] and the great and almighty, beautiful beyond all others, and transcendentally wise goddess Aidan gave you the advanced [Menu System] and it used my kicked out soul to be the helper. I have all the knowledge you will ever need about being a [Dungeon Master]. You are so lucky not only do you get a cutie like me by your side, but you also got Blessings from 2 High gods!!! When I noticed that I was like so "OMG"." "... I will ignore that line that sounded exactly like the line from the pop up earlier for now. But how did you know I have blessings from 2 gods, and those 2 insane gods were High gods?" "Yep, yep, High gods. The most powerful kinds of gods out there. Most planets can have 1 or to Low gods or even hundreds, but they usually don''t have the power to do much beyond that planet. But High gods can look over several whole universes!!! I can tell you were blessed by them because of our colours. Even if a Low god blesses a [Dungeon Master] their colour usually is still clear. But you have 2! That is so amazing. I have the best master of all times!!" "You''re going to take some getting used to. You are so hyper. Sigh, enough about that for now. Since you''re so full of energy why don''t you tell me what a [Dungeon Master] is? Those so called High Gods never really told me." "Well, well, a [Dungeon Master] is the master of a dungeon duh." "I so wish I still had a body so I could facepalm. I gathered that much. But what IS a [Dungeon Master]?" "Ohhh, Ohh, I know what you mean now. a [Dungeon Master] is a being that can use the Life force of the world to make stuff and monsters and take over an area to get more life force. They are born in areas that naturally for some reason or other gather lots of Life force and form a crystal, Then that crystal slowly after thousands of years condense and condense until a soul is born in it. I myself was one of those souls until you kicked me out, and I only had 3 more days to go before I was born too dang it. Oh well because of that I get to serve you master." As she said that she flew up to Davids crystal and gave him a big hug. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. "Ack, not so hard. I feel like I Might crack." "Opps, Opps, sorry. Back on topic, [Dungeon Masters] Come in all shapes and sizes, each has their own personality. Some good, some bad, some quirky, some well let''s not talk about. <_< >_> 0_o They all start about the same size as you tho. Your crystal gets bigger the stronger you get. There are even legends of cores the size of planets out there." "Yikes, that''s big, I wonder If I will ever get that big?" "Yes, Yes, Please get that big, I so want to see that! I would have soooooooooooooooooooo much influence in the fairy community if you do. But that would take millions of years to do." "Wait, Millions of years? How long do [Dungeon Masters] live for?" "Immortal! Immortal! You''re Immortal unless you get killed! Yaa, I get to live with master forever!" ".........." "Any ways, Any ways, You can use magic and life force to summon monsters to help you gather more life force to make yourself stronger. The more life force the better. Too bad just like all new [Dungeon Masters] you can only summon the slime. But all monsters come from the slime. So you just have to get them to evolve into better monsters. You might even be able to make dragons some day or even make your own unique new type of monster, that would be so great!" "... Ok... How exactly do they help me gather Life force?" "By killing other living things of course. Or sucking their life force out with out killing them I guess. You can do that one too when ever they are in your area. But killing them is so much more fun." "I will think about that." "Oh, Oh, try summoning your first monster now. I want to see your first time! Just go to the [Skills] Section of the [Menu] and select [Summon]."

"Wow, expensive. I only have 100 Life force right now, and you only cost 10 Life force to be created. Will my magic regenerate automatically or do I have to do something special for that to regenerate like with Life force?" "Time, Time, all it needs is a few min of doing nothing and it will regenerate. And ya it''s more expensive than I was because I was summoned from the [Help] System and it just used my already their soul, but this time you''re making the slime from scratch. Now go ahead and make it, I want to see it, take it out I want to see it!" "That sounded a little ambiguous but ok I will do the summon now." As David concentrated on the slime icon in the summon menu a marker appeared on the ground in his vision. This marker was a flat purple circle with a bobbing up and down arrow green above it in the in the air, and David was able to move it around as he willed it, He could even split the marker into several more which made it look like if he wanted to he could summon as many slimes as he wanted at the same time. Alas, he only had enough Life Force to summon one for the moment. When he found the spot he wanted to summon the Slime a window popped up asking for confirmation that he wanted to summon a Slime. He didn''t even think about it and selected Yes. A moment later a slight glow appeared at the spot he had selected, and as if beaming in like in sci-fi shows a clear blob of water around the size of a watermelon came into being. At the centre of the blob of water, there was a small colourless stone the size of a pea. 006. To the Surface Poke, Poke. Jiggle, jiggle. "Hehe, this is fun. It''s so squishy. Make more of them. I want more jiggle jiggle." "I would if I could, but I can''t so I won''t. I don''t have enough LF or MP right now. I''m also not sure how to get more LF now. I mean this area we are in is kinda just an empty room not connecting to anywhere. Even if I was ok with just killing everything and taking their LF by force there is no one here but us.... Hmm, maybe I could take your LF?" "NOOOO, NOOOO. Not my LF, You can''t take my LF, I won''t let you! Besides, I''m considered one of your monsters, and If I die you only get back the same amount of LF that was used to summon me in the first place. Well unless I level up then you get a bit more, but I haven''t yet so there." as she said that she stuck her tongue out at David. "Hmm, but if I did that I would have enough to summon another slime then." "Eek, umm, Ahh I know you can just start to build your dungeon and connect it to the surface so that bugs and other animals can come into the dungeon and have the slime eat them for their LF. That way you won''t have to turn me into a jiggle jiggle." "Ahh but I really wanted to see you as a Slime. Oh well no helping it then I guess I have to build my dungeon a little then so my slime can get me some LF. I don''t really mind it eating bugs and animals I just didn''t like the thought of eating humans and such. So how exactly do I do this?" "Just like with [Summoning], go to your skills and select [Build] then select [Dig] and away you go." "Sounds easy enough."

"Human, Slime?" "What, What? You have Human in there? How? You should only have slime. Human shouldn''t be for a long time! You haven''t even evolved a Primate type monster yet!" "What are you talking about? I don''t even know what this [Body] option is." "Lucky, Lucky, you are so lucky! First the blessing from 2 High Gods, and now this! Ah, I get it now, you must be a reincarnated person, that is how you got the 2 blessings and this. The [Body] option lets you make a body for you so you don''t have to be stuck in that pebble all the time. Normally you can only make bodies of creatures you can summon so that you can more easily interact with them or help with the LF gathering. But you being a reincarnated person can also make a body of what ever you were before you died. You might not look like what you did before you died but you will be the same species at least." "You mean I''m not stuck in this pebble for all eternity AND I might be able to get the body of a dragon if I am ever able to create one?!? Damn at least the future isn''t looking as bleak as I thought." "Ya, ya. I know right. I sooooooooo wish I was still the [Dungeon Master] so I could change my body when I''m bored, But being a [Dungeon Fairy] is oodles and oodles of fun too." "Too bad it costs too much LF for both Slime and Human body for now. Sigh, I guess I should start the digging to the surface for now so we can start to collect some LF." With that David Selected [Build] then [Dig] From the list. When he did that a 3D clear blue glowing cube appeared in his vision. As he willed he could change the size shape and length of it but as he changed it he noticed that with every adjustment a number near the cube would change. It then occurred to him that this number must represent how much MP it cost to excavate that size and shape of area. When he moved the cube over to a corner of the room and into the rock the number changed even more probably because of the different materials it was going through other than the air from before. "Hmm, this might take a while, I can only dig out a little before I run out of MP and have to wait for it to refill. Maybe I can do this quicker If I only make the hole big enough for the slime to go out or some bugs to come in." "Good idea, good idea. The basic slime is so week that just about everything but the smallest of creatures can kill it. But If it can kill enough it might level up or even evolve into something nice!" "Ok, I will make the tunnel just big enough for the slime to go into it." "Be careful, be careful, don''t let it go too far from you or you will lose control of it and you can say bye-bye to all those LF you spent on it." "...........I don''t want that." With that David slowly started to dig a small hole to the surface. 007. Discovered Blink, Blink, blink. Seeing a blinking light on a Giant map a person sitting behind a counter desk looked up. "Hmm, what is this? After so long it looks like a new one has surfaced. Let us see, Level 1, grade 1, threat level 1. It looks like it must be a new born. It must have been eager to get some LF for it to surface so fast after being born. I guess I should tell the Guild master that a new Dungeon has surfaced." With that, the person stood up and went through the door behind him, went up a flight of stairs that were in the adjoining room, walked down a long corridor and knocked on a door. "Enter." As the person entered the room they saw a middle aged man, he was roughly 1.8 meters tall (6'' ft), fairly slender build like a runners, brown\grey fur all over his body, red eyes, 2 long ears on top his head that bent backwards and went half way down his back, and most noticeable of all the head of a hare. He was a member of the Long eared Hare tribe. "Greetings Guild master. I have a report to make." "Oh. has something happened with the kingdom? Or perhaps has one of the staff tripped and spilled their drink on some one else again? Lorel wouldn''t come to work for a week after last time. hehe." "No Guild master she caught her self before that happened again this time, but what I came to talk to you about today is that it appears a new Dungeon has surfaced. It''s still only a new born with level 1, grade 1, threat level 1, but it is fairly close to our kingdom." "Oh is that so? I wonder what kind of Dungeon this one will be. It has been so long since a new one has popped up around us. 60 years I think. I wish I could go check it out but its a shame I have so much work to do here. Hmm, who should I send to check it out? Greg would probably eat it just to see what a [Dungeon Master] tasted like. Fiona would probably get lost before even getting half way there. Do you have any suggestions?" "Not really, how about we just use the usual method." "Meh, why not, it''s not like a newborn dungeon is much of a threat." After saying that the guild master went to the side of the room, picked up a dart out of a box on a table, closed his eyes and threw it over his shoulder at a wall full of pieces of paper randomly placed on the wall with party leaders names on them. Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. "Hmm, looks like Beth and her party? They may be new but they are not bad and could use the experience of scouting a new Dungeon." said the clerk when he saw where the dart landed. "Them? They are kinda young and low ranked. Well, I guess it''s fine. Send them the quest. Make sure to tell them not to kill it before we know what kind of Dungeon it is. Who knows it might be a prankster dungeon, I love those things. So fun." "I hope it is a treasure Dungeon. It would boost the local economy. As long as it''s not an evil Dungeon or a similar type it should be fine."
"Hey, guys get up, get up. I SAID GET UP!" Bang, thud, slash, BOOM, splash. "Fine, just stop with the violence, we''re up, we''re up. What''s with all the excitement?" "The adventurers guild sent us a quest! Us, a quest! I can''t believe they sent us a quest! We are still only rank 5, complete newbs. They must think we are the best newbs at the moment. And it''s not just any old gathering or killing quest, it''s an Exploration of a newly exposed Dungeon!" "What, don''t joke with us Beth, they couldn''t have given us such an important quest. It should have been given to some one like Greg or Fiona." "Shut up Lance. I''m not kidding. They really gave the quest to us. Open your [Party] window and check the quest section."

Quests
Dungeon Survey A newly discovered Dungeon has appeared. No information is known about it other than the location and that it is a new born. Go and find out more about it for the Guild. Return to the Adventurers Guild at any location for the rewards after the survey. 100% completion reward: 65 Large Silver coins and 1,000 party EXP.
"Damn it''s really there. I don''t know why they would give this quest to us but hot damn am I glad they did, look at those rewards." "I know right, it''s so awesome even the EXP isn''t bad, we will be able to live like tier 1 nobles for a year if we finish with 100% completion." "Alright, let''s do this. We need to get our supplies ready. The Dungeon is not really that close to us, but we are still the closest City to it at only around 12 thousand kilometres or so from it." "Right, that''s just like next door." 008. Space and Emergence "No, No, not there. Over there. Not there, There! Arg, listen to me will you? Hmm, yes that''s the spot. Right there, that''s sooooooo much better." "..." "What? What? You don''t like the way I''m commanding the slime? Not like you could do any better yet, you were born not even 30 min ago. Well whatever, the slime is finally in the path you made to the outside. We can let it hunt some LF for us now! I can''t wait, I wonder how much it will get." On one of the cave walls, there was a 30cm square hole that started at floor level and had a 40 degrees incline heading up and eventually came out of the side of a hill in the middle of a forest. There was currently a slime slowly oozing through it. The slime completely filled up the part of the hole that it was into the point that it was like a cork and not even air would be able to get past it, but this didn''t slow it down in the least. "I may have only been born as a [Dungeon Master] 30 min ago but I still am a reincarnator, which means I still have some idea what to do." grumbled David. "Hehe, hehe. Yes, I''m sure you do. But look it''s about to exit. I wonder what it''s like out there. I may have been created from the soul of the crystal you''re in now and took thousands of years to form, but I have never seen the outside of this hollow cave in the rocks that doesn''t even have the smallest crack leading outside. I''m so excited." "Wow that must have been so boring for you, no wonder your so hyper now that you can move around. But I have one question for you how are we going to control what the slime does once it leaves here?" "Simple just tell it what to do?" "How, it''s not like I can go over there to tell it what to do. Until I have enough LF to get myself a body that can actually move I can''t... well move." " Huh? Huh? What are you talking about? You have already moved around in your space. If you use some magic you can move your consciousness anywhere in your own space to look around. And your monsters come from you so they have a small part of your space around them even if they leave the main part of your space. To bad week ones like the slime can''t go very far from your space without dying." "Ah, so that''s how it was. I was wondering what was going on at the time. If I remember even when I looked at my stats before I was missing some MP. But what is this "space" you keep talking about? I think I know what you mean by now but I just want to make sure of the details." If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "Space, space. You mean I forgot to tell you what your space is? Doh, that''s one of the most important things for you to know about at this point. The space is you, you are the space." "... And? I think I need a little more than that." "Sigh, sigh, you are so dumb. The space is part of your consciousness, your crystal is where your soul is kept and your space is where your consciousness is. You can grow the size of your space when you have more MP. MP can be used to permeate the area around your crystal to spread your space. Within your space, you can use any of your [Dungeon Master] skills but you can''t use them outside your space. You can use magic outside your space if you have any that can usually be used at a distance, but your stupid so you don''t have any right now, not even the simplest of spells to light a campfire or make a light breeze. But enough of that boring stuff I want to see what the outside is like! I Can use your space to see too so I''m going to look through the slime now." "Ok, I''m going to too. I just need a sec to figure it out." It was at this time that the slime had finally emerged from the tunnel. The tunnel''s exit was near the top of a large tree covered hill in the large forest. From the tunnel, all that could be seen were trees and other plants for as far as could be seen. Some of the trees looked familiar to David like some trees that looked like birch and maple but there was a major difference, they had enormous sizes compared to the ones back on earth, some of the maple like trees had leaves the size of a normal human man. Some of the Fir trees had needles the size of an arm. There were also smaller ones around but there were also some strange trees and plants that David had no Idea what they were. One such plant was about hip height but it had blue bark and red/purple foliage the shape of triangles. This plant was all over the hill that the tunnel emerged from. "Pretty, pretty. It''s so pretty out here. Ahh why do cores have to be born in such a dank place, I wish I could have spent those thousands of years out here instead. Oh well, I''m here now. Time To get some LF!" "Ok I want a body to explore this place too, so let''s get some LF." 009. Its Bug time. 009. It''s Bug time. "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A." "Umm, Umm, what kind of instructions are you giving the slime? See I told you, you wouldn''t be any better at controlling the slime. What in the world does "b, a" mean?" "Sorry, that was just a personal joke from my old life... I will take this seriously now. Let''s have the slime get closer to those weird blue trees." "Yes, yes, let''s do that! I want to see them. Something that is not a rock. I can finally see something new. I wonder if it''s poisonous, or if it''s good to eat? Maybe it can be turned into itching powder or a laxative to use on adventures hehe." "Ya.... ok. Well, whatever they are let''s have a look." With that, David commanded the slime to get closer to the nearest plant. When the slime came close to one of the plants it could be seen that there were several bugs and other small creatures living in the densely packed triangle-shaped leaves. David had never seen any of these kinds of creatures before. They seemed to be bugs native to this planet. One looked like a rhinoceros beetle but instead of a horn on its head, there was a tentacle like a squids moving around. Another bug kinda looked like an ant but it had 3 heads and 10 legs. "Holy damn, the bugs on this planet are creepy. I wonder how they evolved like that. Well, whatever I guess I should get the slime to eat them to see how much LF they give." After David had the slime eat one of the rhinoceros beetle looking bugs he checked his LF, but to his disappointment, there was no change to his LF total. "Duh, Duh, Of course, there is no change yet, they are just common bugs, you will need the slime to eat more than just 1 to get any significant LF. That should be obvious, but I guess you''re not really that smart otherwise the goddess wouldn''t have had to give you the help function." "Whatever I will just get the slime to keep devouring the bugs until I can get some LF from them. While it''s doing that I probably should take a look at the menu a little more. This thing seems to be REALLY important after all. Hmm, what should I look at now? I think I will go with [Options] for now." "Wow, lots of options in here. Over 1000 pages! It will take years to look through them all. I guess this is another part of the buffed [Menu] that goddess gave me? Well since I''m immortal that means I have the time to eventually look through it all, but not right now. At least I can see one option I like right on the first page. I can adjust the decimal point that is shown for the LF. I can see how much each bug gives with this." This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. With that, David set the decimal point shown to 0.0000001 and returned his focus to the slime as it devoured another bug. With the devoured bug David Felt a little helpless as the bug only gave 0.001 LF. Which would mean that the slime would have to eat 1,000 bugs to get just 1 LF. "Wow, wow we are so lucky to be in this area. These bugs give so much LF. Most [Dungeon Masters] aren''t as lucky to get such high LF bugs so close. Most bugs are only worth 0.0001 LF, thats 10 times the normal LF!" "Really? How do you know how much bugs usually give, and you can actualy do math?! "Hmph, hmph. I am the help option after all." "Well, I guess at least we are better off than some others. But I wonder why these bugs have so much more LF than the normal ones?" "No clue, No clue. Just keep getting the slime to eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat until we have enough LF to get another so it can eat, and eat, and eat, and eat too!" "How much can slimes eat anyways? They have to get full at some point right?" "Nope, nope. They can eat as much as they can gobble down. They can completely dissolve everything they eat in almost an instant. If it eats too much in a short amount of time it MIGHT split into 2 slimes and we could get a free second one that way but it''s very rare. But I hope we can get one that way because I want more jiggly jiggly!" "I should just call you jiggly jiggly because you like saying it so much. Wait.. what is your name anyways. I just realised you never said before. That is something I really should know if we are going to be together for millions of years." "Huh, huh? Wait, what is my name? I don''t have a name? Why am I just realising this now? I want a name! Give me a name! You are my master so you should give me a name? Don''t make it something stupid either! If you make it something stupid I will never forgive you." "What you really don''t have a name? Sigh, I''m bad at names. maybe I should just call you Jiggly jiggly after all." "Noooooooooooooooooo! I don''t even have any jiggly Jiggly so you can''t call me that, maybe in a few years, but not yet!" 010. Start of a journey "Betty?" "No." "Veronica?" "Definitely not." "Greg?" "....." "How about Itty Bitty?" "NOOO!" "Alright alright stop hitting my crystal. I will take this more seriously. Although I don''t know why you didn''t like Greg, You look like a Greg to me." "Arg, Arg, with you as my master I have no idea what kind of name I am going to wind up with. I''m sure it''s going to get me laughed at where ever I go. All the other Dungeon Fairys will point at me and say "There goes the one with the funny name. Let''s all go and make fun of her." Then I will have to go and hide in a hole for the rest of my life." "Come on. I''m sure I will come up with a good one... eventually. Ok, how about Mimi? This one actually kinda fits you with how you seem to always repeat your first words." "Mimi, Mimi. Hmm not too bad I actually kinda like this one. It''s short and sweet just like me! Ok, let''s go with this one, From now on I shall be called MIMI! Hello there good sir, I am called Mimi, what shall I call you? Yo, I''m Mimi, who be ya? I am Mimi, who are you? Hehe."
The [Dungeon Master] has given the [Dungeon Fairy] the name "Mimi."
"Well, I guess that means it''s official. The menu system seems to have officially recognised that your name is now Mimi. Now that that is taken care of let''s see how the slime has been doing. Sigh, the LF has only risen by 0.001. 10 bugs. This is going to take a while."
"Come on you bunch of retards. It''s almost noon. I want to be able to eat some lunch after we get to the next Waypoint." "Ugg, I have no Idea how you can eat after using those things, Beth. If I eat anything before or after using one I almost instantly have an empty stomach again if you know what I mean." "Hehe. Lance, I remember the first time you took a Waypoint, you had just eaten a veggie Pizza. Mushrooms EVERYWHERE! The waypoint attendant had to get a change of uniform too." At the centre of the Fyrsta Kingdom, outside the main Gates of the capital city of Jeden, a group of 4 young people were running down the road. At a glance, anyone that was nearby could tell that they were adventurers due to all the weapons and equipment they were carrying. If you looked at where they were heading you could see a large clearing that was filled with small stalls of people selling goods from all over the place to others that were dressed like adventurers and some travellers. At the centre of all this hustle and bustle, a large platform stood. This platform had 55 stone pillars on it. The pillars were set up in an extremely strange shape. From a distance, the pillars looked like they were in a simple Circle, but as you get closer something strange happens, it looks like the pillars start to intertwine and phase through each other, then when you get even closer they take on a rectangular shape of rows. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.These pillars are commonly and collectively called Waypoints. By touching one of the pillars you would be teleported to another pillar some place else in the world. They are set up by each kingdom as a form of fast travel. Due to the fact that the world is so large, it makes it impractical to travel to far places by foot. Even the smallest kingdoms size can be so large it would take years to travel by foot, if not even longer than one''s life. Of course, the kingdoms wouldn''t set these waypoints up for free. Before you are allowed to use them you have to pay a fee. The further you are going to travel the more it costs. But if you are on official business of the kingdom or of the various guilds then you are allowed to travel for free. These 4 young adventurers were Beth and her party. They had just finished doing all the shopping in the city for the quest they had received and were on their way to check out the new Dungeon that had appeared. "Ug, it''s always so crowded here at this time. It looks like we are going to have to shove our way through this time too to get to the Waypoint. Lance take the lead as usual and try not to break any one''s limbs this time, Jessica had to heal so many people last time she almost ran out of MP." "That wasn''t my fault, you kept pushing me from behind and steering me into people!" "Well you were just going so slow and they weren''t paying enough attention." "Come on you 2 stop it and let''s just get going, even with the waypoints it''s still going to take around 2-3 months to get to the location where the Dungeon appeared." "Sigh, you''re right Jessica, but at least the rewards are worth it this time. I wonder what our levels will be at after we Finnish this with that 1,000 EXP reward." "The EXP is nice but I can''t wait for the 65 Large Silver coins!" Exclaimed Lance. "Speaking of which, Luc did you remember the money pouch''s this time? I don''t want to have to come back to get them AGAIN." "........ One sec I have to go to the washroom. I will be right back." "..." "..." "..." About 40 min later there was a flash of rainbow light at one of the waypoint pillars and with that Beth, Lance, Jessica, and Luc were on their way to our MC''s brand new Dungeon. 011. The Divide "Hi hooo, hi hooo, off to the Dungeon we shall gooo." "... Beth do you really have to keep singing that one line over and over? The first time was ok, but after 30 min it is starting to get on my nerves." "Yes Luc, I do. If I don''t sing it, then we would have to go back to town because we shan''t be going to the Dungeon anymore! So, hi hooo, hi hooo, off to the Dungeon we shall gooo." "Don''t worry Luc I have a pair of dirty socks here we can use as a gag on her." "Don''t you think that is a bit much Lance? I can just use my [Silence] spell on her." "Too late Jessica, it''s already done." "Hrmgphghekfh!!!!" "HAHA" All 3 of them fell on the ground laughing while looking at the dismayed and more than slightly nauseous face of Beth.
[Cure Sickness] "Bah, I''m alive again. Thanks, Jessica. And as for you Lance, you really should go see a doctor about that athlete''s foot of yours..." "Naa, it can come in handy sometimes. This is the 3rd time this year it has helped. Remember that Cerberus monster a few months ago? The smell drove it away." "Ya, but remember that Mushroom monster? It kept humping your leg for hours." "...I had repressed that memory." "Ok, now that I have that "taste" out of my mouth, let''s get back on the road. We just got to the 3rd and closest [Waypoint], so now we have to walk the rest of the way." "Aww, come on Beth, can''t we rent some mounts at the local town? I''m a healer and my stamina is not that good." "Alright, we can get some mounts, Luc hand over the money pouch. Hmm, what''s this? There are only a few Large Copper coins in here, just enough for food for both ways. OHH, that''s right were poor. Sorry, I guess that means no mounts for us." "Damn, stingy Guild, only paying for the [Waygates]. Couldn''t they have sprung for some mounts too? It''s not like they are hurting for any money... unlike us." "What are you talking about Lance? The [Waygate]fees both ways are like 10 medium silver and they paid for that!" "Ya ya, we all know how much you love the adventurers guild Beth, no point in arguing with you let''s just go."
"Quick, get it. It''s about to jump away. We don''t want to miss this LF! This is only the 3rd one of these things we have found! I don''t know what kind of bug it is but it''s worth a whole LF!" "I know, I know, it''s my turn to control the slime, so let me do it. It''s been four days and we have only seen 3 of these things, and only caught 1 so far. Jiggly Jiggly is just too slow. Ah, I got it. YES, YES, 1 more LF in the pot." Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. "What? Have you actually named the slime Jiggly Jiggly?" "Yes, yes, I have. Jiggly Jiggly is Jiggly Jiggly so I named it Jiggly Jiggly! hehe." "Sigh, I Guess that''s fine. Whatever, its name is Jiggly Jiggly now.
You have named a Slime "Jiggly Jiggly." As a named monster it''s strength will increase. Tip: You can only name 1 monster every 10 levels of your Crystal, so choose wisely.
Congratulations you have named your first monster "Jiggly Jiggly" and received 100 LF as a reward and an additional 10 LF for uniqueness of name!
Congratulations Jiggly Jiggly has Started to divide.
"What?" "Yaa, yaa! Free LF and more Jiggly Jiggly!" "You have got to be kidding me. There are achievements too? Those gods must be SO bored! Well, at least that means free LF for me if I can find some more. And Jiggly Jiggly is dividing? Nice, that''s another free 55 LF too." As the two of them watched through David''s space that was connected to Jiggly Jiggly, they saw the small core in the centre of Jiggly Jiggly start to crack, and somehow large amounts of slime fluid came out of the cracks causing Jiggly Jiggly''s body to swell. After a few moments, an indent started to appear on top of Jiggly Jiggly and started to deepen all the way until it reached the core, where it finished the splitting of the core and with a plop sound a second smaller Slime suddenly took shape next to Jiggly Jiggly. But that wasn''t all. After the second Slime separated from Jiggly Jiggly, Jiggly Jiggly''s core quickly healed and then started to grow. After a moment the core went from the size of a quail egg to the size of a chicken egg and went from a white colour to purple with green spots on it. The liquid that Jiggly Jiggly was made out of also changed from clearish to a clearish Purple with green bubbles floating in it. "Well, that was fascinating. But why did Jiggly Jiggly change so much after the split?" "Because, because it''s now a named monster! All your named monsters get stronger so to show that, they change the way they look too. Since Jiggly Jiggly was just a basic Slime it took on your colours for now. When it evolves it might look different or not depending on the evolution." "Neet. Well now We have 2 Slimes to hunt, and a bunch of LF to spend. Time to spend some of it." 012. Trees "Ok, now that I have 158.4715122 LF, it''s time to get even more slimes!" "Wait, wait, Don''t just get another slime yet! You need LF for more than just summoning. You also need it to level your crystal body, get skills from the skill tree and lots of other things too! LF is such a versatile energy source. It is needed for almost everything you can do. Except for the stuff that it''s not needed for." "Damn, the more that LF can do the harder the decision on how to spend it. Maby if I ever get to the point where I don''t care about LF anymore I will be able to spend it willy-nilly, but I''m not there yet. Well, it''s only been a few days after all. Long, boring days doing nothing but watching Jiggly Jiggly eat bugs, but still short nonetheless. And you should have mentioned earlier that LF can be used for things other than just monsters..." "I didn''t? I didn''t? I thought I did, well I meant to, but I forgot. Oh well, I told you now, so all''s good. You go take a look at your skill tree while I play with Jiggly Jiggly and our new friend too. So much Jiggly jiggly now!" "Sigh, I just hope you don''t forget to tell me anything important before it''s too late. But I guess I should take a look at my skill tree anyways."

"OK wow, over 1000 pages of skill trees. some are super cheap to unlock, and others are SUPER SUPER expensive to unlock. I have no idea what kind of tree each of them are either, their names are kinda ambiguous and or vague. Hey Mimi, can you help shed some light on these weird ass skill trees?" "Nope, Nope! I haven''t much of a clue about them either. I just know that some are a lot better than others and the LF cost to unlock them doesn''t necessarily show how good the tree is, it might or, it might not. You just have to kinda guess what each skill tree does by its name. You can also unlock as many as you want as long as you have the LF for it. Some of the trees have hundreds of unlocks, some only have 1 or 2." "Hm, you said you didn''t have a clue on them then you just went on for 2 min explaining them. Well, I might as well check out the [Change] skill tree since its only 10 LF."
{Congratulations you have unlocked the Change skill tree for 10 LF. You have started down the path of ever changing evolutions.}
Change Tier 1
Easy Evolution 10 LF This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Increases the chance your monsters discover a new common evolution by 1%
Rare Evolution 50 LF Increases the chance your monsters will discover a new rare evolution by 0.1 %.
"So I guess that the [Change] tree was an evolution tree. From the looks of it, there are more than one kind of evolution too common and rare, I wonder if that means there are even more kinds of evolutions. I will probably find out if I unlock some of these skills. I will test it out with [Easy Evolution since it''s also only 10 LF."
Congratulations you have unlocked the [Easy Eveloution] Perk for 10 LF.
Easy Evolution Tier 2
Easier Evolution: 50 LF Increases the chance your monsters discover a new common evolution by 2%.
Common skill: 150 LF Increases the chance your common monsters will discover a new common skill by 0.1%.
"Interesting, tier 2 increases evolution chance more and also gives a chance for new skills on the monsters. It looks like these skill trees could be really good. But the % on some of them are really pitiful. Well, I guess if there are over 1000 pages of trees and each tree has several tiers to them they are bound to have some overlapping skills, and since I''m practically immortal I have time to check them all out eventually." "Yes, Yes, I did it, Boya I caught another one of those speedy bastards! 1 whole LF is all mine!"
Congratulations your slime has discovered how to evolve into a Common monster called "Speket" for a cost of 5 LF
Congratulations you have now unlocked Bug monsters for summoning.
Speket 60 LF: A Grasshopper shaped monster about 15cm in size that Specialises in speed and evasion, but has low HP and damage. They like to attack in huge swarms in the wild.
"What! Already? I JUST unlocked the Easy Evolution skill." "Lucky, Lucky! We got our first evolution! And I was the one who did it! Me, not you! Hehe, I''m the best and you''re not. Praise me!" "Ok, ok calm down, yes you are the best. I praise you for finding the first evolution. So how did you get that damn speedy bug anyways? We usually have so much trouble with them." "Easy, Easy, I just used Jiggly Jiggly to scare one of them right into the hiding spot of the little one. I''m so smart! Let''s get it to evolve right away, I want to see our new monster!" "Not a problem, it only costs 5 LF to evolve it. I want to see what this new monster can do too."
You have begun the evolution process on one of your Slimes. Please wait this may take several minutes.
013. Speket "Ok, it''s been more than just a few minutes, when will the evolution finish! This is just boring watching a glowing sphere. And STOP poking it, what if that messes up the process somehow?" "But, but after it finishes evolving we will be back down to only 1 slime and will have less Jiggly Jiggly, so I will poke it as much as I can now while I still can." "Fine, but if it winds up as some deformed and useless half bug half slime because of the poking I will have to make you go out there yourself and hunt bugs to recoup our losses." "NO, NO, don''t make me! They are almost as big as me, just one bite from some of them and I would be a goner. If that happened what would you do without me? You would be at a complete loss without me. So, I don''t want to, even if it comes out half Jiggly Jiggly half bug please don''t make me go out there." said Mimi while flitting around the room with panic in her eyes. "Hmm, we will have to wait until the evolution stops to see if I will have to punish you or not. hehe. But damn this evolution is taking so long it feels like over a month has gone by since it has started. Wait, the light is dimming! We can finally see what this so called Speket looks like."
Congratulations your slime has successfully evolved into a Speket.
Appearing out of the light was now a large bug about 15 cm long, its body was about 5 cm round, it had a thick carapace like most bugs with a brownish green colour. Its head had 3 large eyes 2 in the normal places and 1 on the very top of its head was on a short stalk like a slug. The 2 normal eyes looked like normal compound bug eyes, but the one on top of its head looked like a mantis shrimp''s eye and would slowly move around looking in all directions. It had 3 large mandibles and 3 tentacles in a triangle pattern for a mouth. And other than that it looked just like a LARGE grasshopper from earth. "Holy crap, that thing is ugly, that eye and mouth especially. At least it''s one of my monsters so I can control them and keep them away from me." "CUTE! CUTE! So CUTE!!! Quick bring it over here I want to cuddle with it! Never mind your taking too long I will take control of it and bring it over here myself. It''s just too cute. If only it was a little bigger I could ride it like my fateful mount. Ahhhh, it feels so good to the touch, and I love how it''s moving eye keeps looking at me with love." "Erm. I think that is terror not love." "Same thing, same thing. OH check its stats I want to know everything about it. quickly do it, DO IT!" "Sigh, yet another thing I didn''t know I could do... And you''re kinda freaking me out over here."

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. "Hey, Mimi what is with this Hidden, and why can I only see its AGL and Evasion, ALSO how is it level 2 with 4 extra EXP already?" "So cute, so cute. Hmm, what, did you say something? Oh, umm ya. That''s because until you unlock the right perk in the skill tree you won''t be able to see much more than the main stats of your monster and its description. It''s Level 2 because the slime it evolved from was level 2 from killing that bug earlier. Those things give not just a lot of LF but a lot of EXP too." As Mimi was talking she was rubbing her cheeks all over the Speket mumbling to herself how smooth the exoskeleton was and occasionally spacing out. "So smooth, smooth, Wait where was I? Oh ya, It''s level 2 because of that bug it ate when it was still a slime, which means that if you level up a monster before you let it evolve it will keep all the levels it gained before evolution. That can come in handy because the higher the rank of monster it becomes a little harder to get EXP, but on the downside the more a single monster evolves the harder it is to get it to evolve again. Say you wanted a level 100 dragon and you started out with a 100 slime, the dragon you would get would be ALOT stronger then one you summoned, and maybe even a wild one, and leveled because of the evolution bonuses but it would be ALOT harder to get the slime to evolve so many times." "Come again, Did you just say evolution bonuses? Why do you only talk about these things AFTER the fact? And if I see you lick that thing one more time I''m going to de-summon it for the LF!" "What? What? But it''s so cute and smooth I can''t help it. Fine I just won''t let you see me do it anymore. Also about the evolution bonuses how can you not know about them, EVERYONE who knows anything about anything knows about that. Fine, evolution bonuses are things monsters get when they evolve, they can be extra stats, abilities they keep from old evolutions, new abilities or other things I can''t think of yet." As Mimi was saying all this she had started to try and mount the Speket like a horse but kept falling off when her weight overloaded the poor creature and it collapsed. "Ok, your one strange Fairy but I think I understand the basics of all that now. I''m sure there is more to it but I will leave it until I need to know more since I''m still too week for all that. Also now that you FINALLY mentioned that I can check the stats of my monsters I should really check out Jiggly Jiggly."

I have even less of an Idea about that. Mimi if you can stop torturing that poor thing for a sec can you tell me what the Capacity stat is?" "No clue, No clue. You probably have to unlock that knowledge or something. now leave me alone for a moment to enjoy this cutie. Mmmm so smooth almost as good as Jiggly Jiggly''s jiggle. 014. Demon Lord 014. Demon Lord "Mwahaha, prepare to die! I the Demon Lord shall show no mercy. All that defy me shall be smote by my dark powers." [Demon Lord] "No, save us, the dark Demon Lord is going to smite us! Will a brave hero come save us in time?" [Desperate villagers] "Sigh, Come on oh great Demon Lord Beth its time to stop playing with the kids from the Inn and start out for the day." [Lance] "Oh, what do we have here? A hero comes to stop the reign of terror of this Great Demon Lord? Well, it won''t be that easy for I have a horde of minions that you will have to fight through first to stop me." [Beth the Demon Lord] As she said that Beth pointed her hand forward then Luc and Jessica suddenly came out from behind the fence of the Inn. Luc had a pair of red paper horns on his head and Jessica had a fake devils tale made from a belt on. When they appeared they looked at Lance sheepishly for a moment then changed it to an evil grin. "..." [Lance] "Ahh, the Demon Lords minions have appeared, help us, great hero! giggle" [distraught and terrified villagers ie. kids having a blast] "Ok, if that''s how you want to play it, then let''s do this. Oh, good villagers please step back and let me Vanquish these evil doers. This hero of the light will stop them in the name of justice... and because we should have left already." [Lance the hero of Light] Lance took one step forward dropping the pack he was carrying, then after one more step, he took a large shield off his back strapping it to his left arm, while also sending his right arm through some straps at his waist that was attached to a smaller shield that he brought out. The large shield was a kite shield that was half as tall as Lance was, its surface was completely smooth and unadorned and reflective like a mirror except for a spike right in the middle. The smaller shield on his right hand was a Buckler Shield that was also totally smooth and mirror-like with the exception of a spike that was the same size as the one on the larger shield. Seeing this both Jessica and Luc grinned and took out their own weapons. Jessica reached behind her and took a staff that was taller than herself from her back. It was a dark grey colour and looked like 3 tree roots that were braided together with a large tangled knot at the head where they all came together. Luc took out a large blob of what looked like metallic clay from a pot he kept tied to his side. Without even looking at the blob he started to knead it and arrange it into shapes. within but a few moments he had created what looked like several double sided throwing knives and even a few wickedly shaped daggers. For a few moments, all 3 of them just stood there looking at each other. Then all of a sudden Lance started to charge at Jessica and Luc, he crouched down keeping his whole body behind the large shield while charging. Luc started to throw the knives at the ground in a way that made them stick up with one of the sharp sides up so that Lance would have to run on them. Jessica started to chant and 2 balls of red started to coalesce and spin around her head, after a moment the 2 balls then shot out and charged at Lance. As Lance was charging he suddenly shot out his left leg and kicked the grass hard pushing him to the side and dodging the knives on the ground. Then he swung his right arm to the side of his head and blocked the red balls that Jessica had shot at him which seemed to have a mind of their own and were able to avoid his large shield. Having dodged or blocked the attacks sent at him Lance was now upon the other 2. He first used his large shield and did a full body tackle on Luc sending him flying into the nearby fence, while also sending his right arms smaller shield right at Jessicas stomach knocking the breath out of her. "Woo, yaa, go Hero of Light. Finnish them off, show the evil doers no mercy!" [kids watching from the sidelines] "Cough, cough, we give, we give, you win this time hero of light." [defeated minion of the Demon Lord, a winded Jessica] "Hmm, it appears you have defeated my minions, that means you have earned the right to face me in mortal combat! Prepare yourself for utter despair puny hero." [Demon Lord] After saying her lines Beth walked over to where the daggers that Luc had made before but never had a chance to use had fallen and picked them up. One in each hand she then looked over at Lance and grinned. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Lance looked at her warily trying to decide how to attack. Before he could decide Beth took that choice away from him by jumping right at him. Lance quickly brought up his large shield to block her but Beth fast as lightning slid to his left and slammed into the back of his head with the hilt of one of the daggers. Lance seeing this coming did a quick front roll to dodge the blow. The large shield in Lance''s hand caused the roll to be awkward and slow him down from getting back up, seeing this Beth took full advantage of it and dashed to where his back would be after he got up. She then slashed down at his right temple with one of her daggers but Lance managed to get his small shield up in time to block it and even use the spike to stab her hand a little. "I win. The Demon Lord is victorious once more! No hero shall ever end my reign of terror!" [A gloating Demon Lord] "Wait how have you won? We are still in the middle of the fight... Oh." [A confused Hero of Light] As Lance said this he noticed that he could feel a sharp pressure at the back of his neck. After looking at where Beth''s other hand was he realised that it was pushing the other daggers point to the back of his neck. "No, the Hero of Light was defeated, the Demon Lord has won! The world will come to an end now, woe is us. Giggle giggle. [a depressed and distraught villager] "Ok, Beth you won, let''s get Jessica to heal us and then can we finally head out?" [Defeated Hero of light] "Fine, but you know the rules, whoever wins the spar doesn''t have to carry any of the baggage for the day!'' [a relaxed Demon Lord]
"Damn Lance, if it wasn''t for the Reflect properties of your shields it would be so much easier for a caster like me to attack you." a slightly annoyed Jessica. "Now now, you were doing great especially now that you have a spell you can remote control after you cast it, you just need to add 1 or 2 more balls to it and my small shield might not be able to block it anymore. And you Luc nice trick with the knives, when did you come up with that one?" [A smug Lance] "Last night when I went out for a walk it just came to me, a sharp stone on the sidewalk that is, I had to get Jessica to heal my foot." Said Luc with a grimace. "Ha, don''t sound all high and mighty Lance I still beat you, and I didn''t even use my normal weapon." Beth said with a smug smile. "Whatever, you only win 2 out of 3 matches against me usually, and that was the second one in a row so I''m sure to get you next time. And WHAT THE HELL IS IN YOUR BAGS? Did you fill them with rocks or something?" [A profusely sweating Lance] "Yep, as much gravel as I could find to fill in even the smallest spaces. hehe." [A beaming Beth]
"Ahh, why did you have to empty out the rocks, that was for umm muscle training, ya muscle training." [Beth] "..."[Lance covered in sweat and now gravel dust] "Hey, you two, stop bickering like a couple of grade school love birds and check this out, It looks like there is a Dragons Blood Tree over here." [A worried Luc] "What a Dragons Blood Tree? Crap that''s not good. What the hell is one of those things doing out here." [An unhappy Lance] "Huh? What''s a Dragons Blood Tree?" [A questioning Beth] "How am I not surprised you don''t know what a Dragons Blood Tree is? Ah, whatever. A Dragons Blood Tree is a tree that sometimes sprouts if a dragon has been injured and a drop of blood lands in a particularly fertile area. But the problem is that if the tree isn''t found and destroyed and a monster finds it and eats some of its leaves they can get stronger. Even normal creatures can turn into monsters if they eat enough of the tree. Shure some Alchemists, Beast Tamers and other classes have uses for the tree, they even raise them on some farms but if you find one in the wild the Guild has a permanent bounty of 1 small silver for them." Jessica lectured Beth. "Oh cool, where is the tree? I''m so glad we had to trek through the forest off the path to get to the next town. 1 Small silver get!" said Beth excitedly. "Over there, it''s that one." Pointed out Luc When Beth looked at where Luc pointed she saw a tree that was about hip height, the bark was blue and on the branches were red/purple leaves that were shaped like long triangles. 015. Parallel 015. Parallel *Squelch, slurp* "Ohh ya, Oh ya, that''s the right stuff, so smooth!" "Eww, Mimi I know I told you that I didn''t want to see you licking the speket anymore, but just because you are hiding behind a rock does not mean I can''t hear you doing it." "What, what? I''m not doing any thing behind here. Nope, nothing, I''m not licking the so smooth and cute Speket behind here. Nope, I''m not, you must be hearing things." *slurp, sigh* "Ok, I''m satisfied for now." Suddenly the speket dashes out from behind the rock as fast as it can run and heads for the tunnel to the surface in compleat terror. "Ok, now that you have finished traumatising the poor ugly thing can we get back to business about how to spend some of this precious oh so precious LF? I still have around 134 LF to spend, give or take a few decimal points. That''s enough for 2 more monsters or maybe another 1 or 2 Tree unlocks." "Hmm, Hmm, I think you should get your self a body with some of that. I know you can''t afford to get a human body yet, but if you get a Slime or Speket body it would be so much easier to get more LF than just remotely controlling a monster like we have been doing so far." "But if I do that I won''t be able to get a human body later unless I evolve that way right?" "Idiot, Idiot, What are you talking about? Why wouldn''t you? OHHHH! You really are an idiot, you can have as many bodies as you want. You just need the LF and magic to make them. You can only control 1 extra body at a time at the moment but you could have 1000 personal bodies if you want. They just go into your inventory when you''re not using them. Best of all is that they can go as far as they want from your Space with no troubles since you are controlling them directly." "Wow, ok I guess it would be a good idea to get a body then. Now to decide whether I should get a Slime body or a Skpeket body?"

"... Ok, that decides it then, Slime body it is" "Slime? SLIME! You''re going to be a slime!! YOUR GOING TO BE A SLIME!!!!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa! More Jiggle Jiggle TIME! I can''t wait, this is going to be so much fun, Smoothie smooth is good, but jiggly jiggle is even better." "When I become a slime your not going to lick me like you did with the speket right, RIGHT?! Why have you gone all quiet all of a sudden? You are usually such a chatter box, so answer me. Hey, why are you hiding behind that rock again? Well if you try I can just eat you and get a nice LF boost, Maby even evolve into something nice." "Noooooo, Noooooo, I don''t want to be eaten, although I do wonder what you could evolve into after eating me, maybe a slime Fairy? No, never mind that''s not something I ever want to find out." "Hehe, that would be interesting. Any ways I guess I should make my body now."
Congratulations you have chosen to create your First-second body. As a special bonus due to your Blessing of chaos, you have also unlocked a Rare skill [Parallel Thinking 1]
Parallel Thinking 1: Allows for the user to process 2 separate lines of thought at once without increasing or decreasing intelligence
Testing Testing The mongooses are eating all my crackers! Ok, it looks like this thing is working. Hey, it''s me Charle, you remember me right? I was that god that caused your universe to be destroyed. Any ways I felt a little bad about that so I decided to leave this little gift for you. I hope you can use it to live a little longer to give me more fun to watch. Ps. This is a pre recorded message and I hope you get to see it before you die of a horrible but hopefully entertaining death. PPS. I may or may not have left more gifts for you to find in the future. ;p Charle the Chaos God xoxo
After the message from Charle disappeared leaving both David and Mimi at a loss for words David felt a strong pain start to flood his mind. It felt like his mind was being torn in 2. If he could he wanted to bash his head against the wall, but alas he is nothing but a pebble so he wasn''t able to. Then as suddenly as the pain arrived it disappeared and the now familiar star treck-esk beaming in of a monster appeared and a Slime that looked like Jiggly Jiggly''s new form materialized in the middle of the room. 016. Split Personality 016. Split Personality "Ouch, that hurt." "Ouch, that hurt." "What in the name of Charle was that pain about?" "What in the name of Aidan was that pain about?" "Huh, why does it sound like I''m talking in stereo?" "Huh, why does it sound like there are 2 of me talking?" "Wait, that''s not right." "Wait, that''s not right." "Pfft, Pfft, this is hilarious. Keep on talking. It''s so funny. You are almost in sync but not quite." As Mimi was saying this she was on the ground laughing hysterically and hitting the ground with her fist. "..." "...." "Go on, Go on, talk some more, I want to hear some more. Make it something funny. Well what ever you say will be funny anyway." "Gargamel gargled gallons of gasoline." "Grey geese grabbed Gargamel." "HAHAHAHAHA, So close yet still not the same. It''s like you can''t decide what to say so you say them both." "That''s right! That must be it." "Your right! I think that''s whats happening." "Remember the skill I just got? This must be part of that. I have to figure out how to control this." "Remember the skill I just got? This must be part of that. I''m going to have to figure out how to control this." "No rush, no rush. the longer you''re like this the funnier it will be."
Yep, she is right.
I totally agree.
"... Ignoring the random interruption of 2 annoying gods, I think I am starting to get the hang of this now." (crystal body) "..random...gods..starting...this." (slime body) "I''m almost there. This is not easy. I wonder if this skill can make me seem smarter?" (Crystal body) "I...not...smart..."(slime body) "Hahaha, hahaha."
hahaha
hahaha
"Damn it. At least it wasn''t my main body... Hey, I got it now. No more stereo. That was annoying. Now that I have that under control I should probably take a look at my new second body." Slightly off centre of the cavern, there was a new slime. It looked almost identical to Jiggly Jiggly''s new form, It was still see through with its liquid being a darkish purple and had green bubbles floating in it and a chicken sized core in that looked quite like Daivids crystal. The only difference was that it was 1.5 times larger than even Jiggly Jiggly which was already 1.5 times larger than a normal slime. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "Ok, this feels a bit weird. It feels like I''m made out of Jello. Not freshly made Jello, that kind of Jello you put in the fridge and forget about for a few weeks and has got that weird skin on top of it. I have no idea how to move in this body yet either. It''s not like I have any muscles or bones to move. Now that I''m thinking about it how was I even talking before? It kinda felt like I was just vibrating my whole body to make the sounds."
Congratulations Your Slime body has learned the Rare skill [Jiggle Voice]. You have been rewarded with 10 LF.
Jiggle Voice: A Rare skill that some extremely old slimes and particularly smart slimes (smart being relative to other slimes) learn to mimic noises to lure in prey.
"Nice, A new skill with some free LF, and it seems like it might be quite a useful skill too since I don''t think I could talk to others with just my crystal body." "Nope, Nope, no talking to others with your crystal body. Only with me and your monsters Because we are special! Yaa I''m Super special! Well unless some one has the [Telepathy] skill or is very strange and some how learned the [Crystal Speek] skill." "[Crystal speek]? What the heck is [Crystal Speek]?" "Talking, Talking, It''s how crystal life forms talk to each other. Kinda like [Jiggle Voice] crystals vibrate at each other to talk. It would be so funny seeing a human that learned either. Just imagining seeing them vibrating fast enough to talk in [Crystal Speek] makes me want to laugh. Haha." "Ya, that would be entertaining. But none of this is helping me figure out how to move my slime body." "That''s easy, that''s easy, Just think about what you want to do hard enough and your body will do it. If you want to move some place just think of moving there. If you want to stretch out just think of stretching. If you want to fly just think about something else because it''s not going to happen since slimes can''t fly...usually... Hey watch out, what are you doing? Ahh stop chasing me, NOOO let go of my foot, Don''t eat me! Don''t Eat me!" "Hehe, I figured out how to move. And this is payback for all the teasing you did to me, especially that moustache you drew on my crystal the other day." "Alright, alright I give, I won''t do it again. *at least not when you have a second body around*" Plop "Ok, you''re free..for now. Now that I know how to move with this body I think I should go outside and explore some more since we couldn''t go very far with the remote controlled slime or speket." 017. Exploring 017. Exploring "Damn, Damn, Damn, I don''t want to die again. I don''t want to die again!" ROAR! At this moment David was using his slime body and hiding in the roots of a large tree that looked like a cross between a willow and a fur-tree about 2km to the left of the entrance of his Dungeon. He was feeling regret and wishing that he had never left his comfy and cosy little Dungeon, or that at least Mimi was here instead of him because he sure as hell didn''t want to be here right now.
After David had gotten his body he decided to explore the lands around his dungeon to see what he could find out about the local area. After he came out of the entrance to the Dungeon he just went off in a random direction. He had no plans on what to do, he just wandered aimlessly. Occasionally he would come across a new tree or other plants he hadn''t seen yet, but he never came across any animals bigger than bugs. He tried eating a few of them to get any meagre LF they would provide, but after a few, he noticed they gave even less than the bugs around his entrance. "Hey Mimi, I just ate some bugs with my Slime body, kinda tasted like chicken by the way even though I don''t have a tongue..., and for some reason, they give even less LF then the ones around here, just like you said before." "Yep, yep, I told you so. The bugs around our Dungeon give WAY more LF then normal bugs for some reason. They even seem to breed faster than normal too since Jiggly Jiggly and our oh so cute Speket have been eating them non-stop for days now and they seem as plentiful as always." "Hmm, I guess I shouldn''t bother going out of my way to catch any of them out here then. If I run into any I will, of course, eat them without any hesitation for their LF, well some, I was a Human before and eating bugs is still kinda Eww. But now that you mentioned it I should probably Use some of the LF I still have and send out another Slime since the bug population around our Dungeon doesn''t seem to be decreasing no matter how many my monsters eat. The more monsters I have eating them the faster I get LF, and the faster I get LF the sooner I can get more monsters, exponential growth baby!" Just like the first time he summoned a monster, a beam of sparkling light appeared in the area David designated for it, and a normal sized and coloured Slime came into being. After it finished materializing David sent it outside with its two brother monsters and told it to eat everything that moves. "Now with that done and me only having 35 LF left I should get back to exploring the outside world and find some more LF. Come on Super cheat Item Find!" "Good Luck, Good Luck, you will never find a Super Cheat item out there, how common do you think they are? This isn''t some random novel written by some hack that will just give out cheat items on a whim to the MC, this is real life. It''s more likely you will find something that wants to eat you out there."
As David was lightheartedly bickering with Mimi Back in his Dungeon he was also using the skill [Parallel Thinking 1] and controlling his Slime body out in the wilderness to explore. As he was in the body of a slime his speed was not all that fast, and as he was in no hurry after 2 hours he was only 1 and a half kilometres from the Dungeon. Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. He currently was oozing up to a particularly strange looking flower that had a neon pink stalk and pastel blue pettles when he noticed a kinda vibration in the ground. At first, he couldn''t figure out what the vibration was so he just stopped moving. After a moment he still couldn''t figure out what the vibration was but he could vaguely discern where it was coming from. So he let his curiosity get the better of his reasoning and started in the direction of the vibrations thinking to himself ''Well with how fast I move whatever it is will probably be over by the time I get there, so I might as well see if anything interesting is left over.'' It took David in slime form almost 30 min to reach where the vibration was coming from. But as he got closer and closer to the source, and the vibrations were getting stronger he started to hear sounds too. The sounds did not sound like they were being made by someone having a good time, they sounded like a beast was being tortured to death. Then as David was thinking of turning back he came around the edge of one of the massive trees that this forest was filled with and he saw it. Only a few meters ahead of him there was a Dinosaur! Not only was it a dinosaur it was the king of Dinosaurs, a T-rex, that''s right a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
"Holy crap Mimi, I just found a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the middle of the woods! What the hell is a T-rex doing out here! How is a T-rex out here! They should have gone extinct millions of years ago!" "Huh? Huh? Why would they be extinct? They are a rather common monster. They are one of the more well-known evolution paths leading to Wyverns." "... Sigh, this is another world after all. Wait, if they are monsters here, I wonder if Earth used to have Dungeons too. Well, their is no use in thinking about that now since Earth went KABOOM with the rest of my old universe..."
Back in the forest, David was looking at the T-rex, It was around 6 meters tall, 12 meters long from head to tail tip, had brownish red feathers on its body that kinda looked like scales and blood dripping from its tooth-filled maw. But surprisingly this blood was not from its most recent meal, it was its own blood. This King of Dinosaurs had blood flowing from several long gashes all along its body and was missing chunks of meat from several spots. It was constantly roaring in pain and running around causing vibrations in the area. Every few meters it ran it would suddenly stop and a new wound would appear on its body, then it would try and run away in a different direction only for the same thing to happen once more. "What the hell is going on here?!" David was terrified. He couldn''t see what was happening to the King of Ancient beasts but he sure as anything knew whatever it was he COULD NOT deal with it. So he decided to do the only thing he could do with his slow slime body, he found the smallest hole he could fit into with his amorphous body and hid between the roots of a nearby tree. "Damn, Damn, Damn, I don''t want to die again. I don''t want to die again!" ROAR! Then with one last earth shattering roar the beast finally fell to the ground exhausted and near death from loss of blood. It was then that David was finally able to see what was accosting the Tyrannosaurus Rex, sitting on the head of it was a small totally white except for a pair of antlers which were dripping with red blood, a rabbit or more accurately a Jackalope. 018. Dinner Time 018. Dinner Time ''Don''t come over here, Don''t come over here, please, oh please don''t come over here! Charle, Aidan or any other gods, if any of you can hear me please don''t let that thing come over here.'' Silence, the only response David got from the gods to his desperate plea was total silence. No matter how much he prayed, begged, or swore at the gods, not one even sent so much as a "Sorry bud, you''re done for." as a response. ''Damn gods, they probably all think this situation is hilarious.'' Right at this moment the Jackalope that had been posing on top of the head of the T-Rex that it had just killed as easily as squishing a bug jumped into the air, did a half flip and started to spin at a rapid pace. As David watched on in horrified amazement from the tree roots he was hiding in, the now spinning Jackalope dived into the head of the T-Rex like a drill and after a few moments, it came out again with something shining caught on its antlers. After it landed on the ground in front of its kill it flipped its head sending the shinning thing into the air, after a moment it caught the object in its mouth and a loud crunching sound was heard as the Jackalope ate it.
"Hey, Mimi, you''re watching this through my space too right? What was that object it just ate?" After seeing the Jackalope eating the shining object David couldn''t help but feel curious about what it was. "Core, Core, it was the monsters Core. All wild monsters and monsters that want to be able to leave Dungeons for a long period of time need a core to live. The cores are the accumulation of the monsters power, so if another monster eats it they will get some of the strength for them selfs. Even some sentient species have them if they train in certain kinds of energy. They can also be used for other things like powering objects and such." "Oh, so they are just like monster cores I always read about in fiction on my old world." David seemed to come to an understanding. "Sorta, sorta, Let''s just leave it at that for now. You wouldn''t be able to understand it with how stupid you are. =P"

I haven''t been able to get a good meal in forever. Oh well, lunch time is over, time to head over to Martha''s place and get my groove on! I so love being a Jackalope!" With that, the jackalope spun on the spot like a worlwind and dashed off into the forest just passing by Davids hiding spot by a mear 2 meters and yelling "Martha here I come." at the top of its lungs. "It could talk... what the hell is with this place. Next, I will probably see a tree walking around with a hobbit ridding on it." After waiting for around 5 min to make sure that the Jackalope had left the area David slowly emerged from his hiding place and jiggled over to the body of the T-Rex to examine it. There were cuts and chunks of meat missing all over the body. and the worst of it was the head where the Jackalope did its final move of drilling into the beasts head to get the core.
"Hey, Mimi, why didn''t the jackalope eat any of this thing other than the core? Do you think if I tried eating it with my slime body I would get any LF?" "Idiot, Idiot, are you stupid or something? The Core Has 95% of the monster''s energy in it. The flesh only has 5% left in it. Why bother eating it, it would take days to eat it for so little gain. That''s why the Jackalope didn''t bother with it. Something as strong as that wouldn''t bother with all the hassle and time needed for a measly 5% after it already gotten the other 95%. If you ate it you would only get a few hundred LF... WAIT, EAT IT, EAT IT! We can get Free LF, then buy more Jiggly Jiggly and Smoothy Smooth!" "Eww, why are you drooling, and move your face away from my crystal your dripping!" With new enthusiasm David took another look around the area, this time he was looking for some smaller chunks of meat that would be easier to start off with. He quickly found a pice the size of a fist and started to absorb it. After about 2 min he had completely dissolved it and got a small pleasant surprise.
Congratulations you have gotten 2 LF.
"Wow Mimi, Do you see that? such a small piece of meat Gave 2 WHOLE LF! that''s like eating 2,000 bugs. At this rate, I will have enough LF to buy whatever I want! hehe." 019. Murdering Hat 019. Murdering Hat Ooze Gulp, Ooze Gulp, Ooze Gulp. Deep in one of the many, massive, never-ending forests of the Kingdom of Fyrsta, all one could hear was the wind blowing in the trees, and a strange oozing sound, with the occasional plopping sound of something dropping into said ooze. Of course, this sound was made by David as he slowly but surely ate the remains of the dead Tyrannosaurus Rex he had killed himself, wait, that''s not right, It was killed by some random Jackalope while David himself was hiding away almost fainting in fear. Thankfully, after the jackalope had left it seemed that there were no other monsters nearby at the moment, so David could enjoy his meal in peace and get some free LF. Altho he didn''t know how long this would last for so he was "eating" it as fast as he could, which was surprisingly fast given he was a slime and they were able to eat non stop. Each piece of meat would give 1-5 LF and since the T-rex was so large their was a veritable mountain of LF just sitting there waiting for David to collect it all.
"Sigh, eating this thing is going to take forever. Now I have nothing to do." "What? What? Nothing to do? What in the world are you talking about? you have SOOOOOO much to do right now I have no idea where you should start!" Mimi exclaimed in a frantic manner while puffing out her cheeks. "What are you talking about? My second body only has to eat for now, and our monsters are doing fine on their own right now catching bugs, and I don''t have the LF to do much else yet." David said in a despondent tone. "Idiot, idiot, it''s no wonder Aidan had to set me up as a help function for you. You REALLY REALLY have no idea how to act as a [Dungeon Master] Do you? I was wondering why you hadn''t started to do it yet, but you really are stupid. Its the number 1 thing all [Dungeon Masters] usually do, even before summoning their first monster. But you, the idiot that you are haven''t even started doing it yet after so long." "And pray tell my cranky little [Dungeon Fairy], what is this oh so magnificent task that you are talking about? From the sounds of it, it is a most glorious task." "harrumph, harrumph, ya that''s right butter me up, just like that. What I''m talking about is starting to BUILD YOUR FREEKING DUNGEON! All you have done so far is to build a small little path to the surface, AND NOTHING ELSE! Most Dungeons have built at least 2 to 3 corridors and AT LEAST 1 or 2 more rooms before even making their first monster!" "Oh, that''s right! That''s one of the things that Dungeons do, isn''t it? Make mazes with traps and things to catch adventurers and stuff. I do have that [Dig] skill that I haven''t done much with yet." "That [Dig] skill that I haven''t done much with yet? That [Dig] skill that I haven''t done much with yet!! Are you kidding me? Other than summoning, the digging skill is one of your number 1 skills! What if some random wiled level 1 monster finds our dungeon and is able to shatter your crystal because it''s right at the entrance? What would you do then? Nothing because you would be dead! Huf, puff." After saying all that Mimi was breathing heavily and leaning against the stalagmite that Davids crystal was floating above with her wings quivering with exhaustion. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "Um, ya, you ARE the help function, when I do stupid things like that your suppose to put me on the straight and narrow." "Oh, Oh, you''re right, my bad. I should have mentioned it earlier, teehee. So now that you know what to do, what are you going to do? How you build your dungeon now might affect your whole future as a [Dungeon Lord]." "What do you mean affect my whole future? Isn''t it just some random halls and rooms with monsters and traps spread randomly?" "Too naive, way too naive. There is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more to it than just that. There are so many different kinds of dungeons out there that its impossible to count them all. Like Labyrinth Dungeons which are the most common altho with LOTS of variations, but there are also City dungeons that make whole cities for people to live in and passively absorb their LF, or even business Dungeons that sell goods they can make for LF. Shure, they might all start the way you described, but unlike you, most of them start off as nothing but stupid brainless idiots acting on nothing but instinct. Scratch that you don''t even have instinct." "Hey, that hurts you know. As you well know I use to be a normal human on a world that didn''t even have any magic, but you are right that I have NO clue as to what the hell I''m doing here. Also, its good to know I don''t have to be a mass murderer if I don''t want to." "Well, well its to early to say that right now, you don''t have the ability to passively absorb LF or any other means to get it other then the death of many, many, MANY, living things yet, so put on your murdering hat and get ready to work at a moment''s notice. You still need to unlock those abilities from the skill trees." "Sigh, and here I thought I wouldn''t have to be a murder machine, damn those random ass names for skill trees I will have no Idea what the tree does before I unlock it. Oh well, I think we got a little off topic there. So now that I know that there are several different ways for me to eventually build my dungeon what should I do?" "Herm, herm, well at this point there aren''t really that many options for you, so all you can do for now is to start making the ol''classic, the Labyrinth type. You can change it later depending on what kind of Dungeon Master you want to be. But until then it''s murder machine Time!" "Fine, what ever, I''m going to start diging now." 020. Discovered Again 020. Discovered Again "Sigh, why is everyone around me so incompetent? Yes, I may be perfect my self with no flaws, an existence that no one can compare to. Yet does that mean I have to lower the standards for those around me?" As he was speaking the mystery man looked down and sighed before kicking the severed head on the ground. Several beings of varying sizes and shapes saw this almost casual action and shuddered while thinking how glad that they were that they were not the ones that had messed up this time. "It took her a full month to bring this to my attention, and yet the guild master in the area was informed of it within mear moments. How dare she claim to be my closest confidant and best spymaster. she was only number 17 at best. I don''t even know why I ever bothered to spend any points on her. Oh well no point in crying over spilt various fluids, I might as well send my own "delegation" over to the new neighbour." Kick, and a severed arm went flying. "Yes, my Master, who do you want us to send? Only you in your all-knowing brilliance and handsome-ness have the wisdom and foresight to know whom should be sent." came a reply from a small being from the crowd, it was only 91cm tall, anorexically skinny with all its bones and veins showing with blue skin and red patches here and their, 5 horns of varying colours on its head, and a long spindly tail that ended in 5 spikes of the same colours. After hearing the question the man glared at the creature for a moment causing it to squirm in fear, then answered "Hmm, the guild has a month head start, and they are a fair bit closer this time around, so I think we should send someone with a agl or spd build... Ah, how about Grockson?" "F..f..f.. forgive me master, but you sent him to test the new traps last week..." "Yes, that''s right, how did he fair?" "About 5% in before he was half frozen to death... and half electrocuted to death... so half and half makes him fully dead..." "5%? he must have levelled recently, I didn''t expect him to get past 4%. Then I suppose Farlonie will do." ".... Sorry oh lustrous and shiny one, she was behind the behemoth yesterday when you forgot to take it out for a walk, and well..." "Oh, I hit darling little Snooky on the nose with some paper for that. I felt so bad that I forgot to take her out for walkies, but doing that on the carpet is a no-no. Oh well then whatever, just go to the barracks and pick out someone that has a spd or agl build, I don''t really care who anymore." The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. Hearing this the small creature got down on its knees and bowed down, then while still on its knees crawled backwards out of the room. ~~~ "Damn bastard, If we weren''t his creatures he would have been cracked centuries ago, either by his enemies or us. Whatever, I will just go get some random kid from the breeding chambers, give them the standard "invitation" package for a idiot newborn Dungeon, and send them on their way. If they faile so what, its there heads not mine." ~~~ "Wake up you buckets of swamp rat vomit, I said WAKE UP!" Bang, thud, slash, BOOM, splash. "Fine, just put away the pointy and sharp things, we''re up, we''re up. What''s with all the excitement?" "The Lords sent us a quest! Us, a quest! I can''t believe they sent us a quest! We are still only rank 5, complete newbs. They must think we are the best newbs at the moment. And it''s not just any old gathering or killing quest, it''s an "invitation" to a newly exposed Dungeon!" "What, don''t joke with us Greta, they couldn''t have given us such an important quest. It should have been given to someone like Grockson or Farlonie." "Shut up Liff. I''m not kidding. They really gave the quest to us. Open your [Party] window and check the quest section."
Party
Quests
Dungeon "Invitation" A newly discovered Dungeon has appeared. No information is known about it other than the location and that it is a newborn. Go and give the "Invitation" package to it. Report to the local contact after the mission has been compleated. 100% completion reward: 65 Large Silver coins and 1,000 party EXP.
"Damn it''s really there. I don''t know why they would give this quest to us but hot damn am I glad they did, look at those rewards." "I know right, it''s so awesome even the EXP isn''t bad, we will be able to live like tier 1 Upper Fodder for a year if we finish with 100% completion." "Alright, let''s do this. We need to get our supplies ready. The Dungeon is not really that close to us, we are almost 20 thousand kilometres or so from it." "Right, that''s just like next door... if we lived in the countryside." 021. Dance of the Shovels 021. Dance of the Shovels "Umm, Umm, why is it shaped like that? I don''t think it should look like that. That is definitely not normal. It looks like it would be extremely uncomfortable to use if you could even fit inside." "What, you don''t like my human shaped tunnels? They are slightly bigger than a normal sized human male, well at least ones back from my old world, I don''t know about the locals, so most people should be able to shuffle their way through. Well if they move their limbs to the same shapes as the tunnel." "Ok, ok, then why does the shape keep changing the further you go along the tunnel. That just looks weird." "Just because the shape changes as you go to make you do the chicken dance doesn''t mean it''s weird. That''s strategy! It will tire out any adventurers before they can get to the new core room, and they might, just might be too tired to fight my boss if I ever get the LF to make a decent one." "What? What? You''re saying that Jiggly Jiggly isn''t a decent monster? That is something I can''t stand for. Jiggly Jiggly is the bestest of all monsters that could ever be made, no monster could be better and I dare you to say otherwise!" __________ Half a day earlier: "Hmm, before I start working on digging out my Dungeon, I want to take a quick look to see if any trees I can unlock look like they might help with building." "Ohh, Ohh, good idea! Your other body has been munching on that big lizard for a while now, you should have gotten like 200 LF or more by now. With so much, you should be able to open a path and get down it a few levels!" "Yep, 236 extra LF so far and I have barely made a dent in this thing, giving me 271 LF! If I''m getting so much LF just from eating the flesh of this thing I really wonder how much I could have gotten from its core... and how strong was that damn Jackalope that was just playing around with it." After musing on the horrifyingly strong Jackalope for a moment longer David Took a moment to open his menu, then navigated to the skill tree section. When he had it open David was still overwhelmed that there were over 1000 pages with 15 trees on each page. And this was just the Tier 0 part of the skill trees after the trees are unlocked and start to branch out that would increase it even more. "Well, might as well start browsing them for anything that might seem related," David said to himself. "Hmm, Already seen page one, what is on page 2."

David just stared at the page for a minute before mentally shaking his head. "These Tree names really make no sense. I have no idea what any of them could possibly do. But that Dance tree is only 15 LF, I have no idea what it could unlock but its only 15 LF... I really shouldn''t." "Yes, Yes you should, Its only 15 LF, it''s not like we''re not swimming in the stuff at the moment, and you are constantly getting more as you gobble down that dumb dino out there. I really want to see what the Dance tree gives you, I really want to see it, Get it! Get it! GET IT!" The impatient little fairy said while bobbing up and down with an excited look on her face. "Haha. Fine, I will get it, I will get it. I was planning on getting it anyway just to see if I can try to figure something out about how the naming scheme works." With that David mentally clicked on the Dance tree and felt a strange tickling sensation in his mind as the LF left and information somehow entered in its place.

"... Ok not what I was expecting, well kinda, I guess it makes some sense. But really? The chicken dance? Why that one out of all the dances I have seen on tv and the internet back on earth. I have never really been one to dance, like ever, at all, but the first dance I have ever learned is the chicken dance? Sigh. Fine, it''s not like I actually have any limbs to dance any more, and all my slime body can do is slightly wiggle like jello.. maybe it could do a weird version of twerking... na never mind I really don''t want to do that." "Now that I have wasted my Precious LF on that useless Dance Tree Lets see if I can find something a little more useful?" " Oh, this one looks promising, on page 3 there is a [Less] Tree for 10 LF. It''s another cheap one and looks like it MIGHT have something to do with digging kinda, maybe, well not all that much but hey it might.

"Idea? Idea? What kinda of idea? Will it be fun? or mega fun? Or maybe even mega ultra fun! Tell me, come on I want to know!" "Hehe, you will see." With that David Started to work on digging out the start of what would become one of the strangest first floors for a Dungeon anyone in the Kingdom of Fyrsta had ever seen.
