BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116 Dungeon System
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, dear lord. Funniest shit ever. When the sudden realization that given a month or two this little bastard will be strong enough to raze a village with ease and be your master in a Soul Bond hits you, it’ll definitely be priceless. I bet I’m laughing my ass off in my current life, you retard.”
I was really not liking this guy. If I met him, we’d have a little chat about pranking people.
“Anyway, I managed to acquire this egg to protect Larm in case Goliath failed to do so. So, you, the one who has acquired it, quite literally hold the strongest war potential in the history of this world. A beast that would definitely cause nations to stay in check. You should have seen the images now. Visions of its mother and what she did to this world just when the residents were beginning to grow. I believe she may have set civilization back by over a millennium or so, but I lack any evidence of this yet. Anyway, I hope you treat it well and whatever you do, just make sure you don’t get killed so easily. It would be a disgrace to me if the person who cleared my private dungeon was killed within two months.”
‘KALEB ZEEENNN!!!!!’
After a while of screaming, I calmed down. I looked at the lizard for a while and realized that I need to be stronger than it within two months. I simply couldn’t allow it to create a soul bond, which meant I somehow needed to be at least as strong as what I had been seeing in the vision.
Later on, I named it Amethyst for 1000MP. It literally stole the biggest chunk of mana that I might have ever needed to use to name someone. Arisu was the one to give Amethyst her name, even though she herself was still a bit shaken.
Oh yes, Amethyst was female. She had been talking in my head ever since the bond was formed and she really couldn’t shut up. She kept scrolling through my memories and bothering me to show her lots of stuff. I didn’t like the idea of a shitty brat looking at my secrets, but it wasn’t like I could kill her at any point in time.
After a while of contemplating, I ignored it all and decided to focus my attention at the dungeon core.
I looked around myself, wondering where to put the dungeon core. I tried waving it in the air, I tried the ground, the walls, and then I just sat back. There didn\'t seem like there was any place in the floor I could put it at. Then I looked at the throne. It had a certain hole, which drew me towards it.
\'Could it be there…?\'
I then placed it in the hole. It was a perfect fit and the core glowed a bit brighter. A screen appeared in front of me, different from how the normal system screen looked.
|DUNGEON CORE INSERTED… INAUGRATING NEW DUNGEON CORE|

‘Huh? Interesting, let’s see.’
I looked at the system with glee.
‘Come Arisu, come sit here.’
She came and sat on my laps.
‘Can you see it?’
I decided to ask her.
“The weird symbols?”
‘Can you read?’
“No.”
‘Ah… then I guess I should call it out for you?’
She nodded. I just wanted to confirm if she could see the system screen. Her being able to meant that she was loyal enough, which was sort of surprising but also put my heart at ease.
‘Ok, we’ve got the dungeon’s stats first.’

‘Hmm, I want to summon one dungeon mob, but 200 dungeon points is basically worthless. Let’s see, just as an experiment, why not summon the 50 undead.’
“Mob?”
It would appear I was thinking out loud, quite literally. Ha! I still had the power of puns.
‘Yeah, like monsters that appear in dungeons, but have no real conscience.’
“I see.”
I summoned the 50 lesser undead for 200 DP and they appeared in front of me. They just stared at me, completely motionless. Skeletons wielding a rusty sword and wearing pierced armor. They didn’t look any different from what I had seen before.

‘Ah, I gained XP? So did the dungeon! Also, what tasks?’
As soon as I asked that question, a screen popped up in front of me.

‘Oi, oi, the last quest. Why does it have one of the most alluring rewards? It’s like the dungeon craves for human blood.’
“Hinotori-sama, why aren’t the undead moving?”
I hadn’t realized earlier, but it was completely still. Kind of unnerving to be honest.
[Dungeon mobs cannot attack the Dungeon Master]
‘I see, so since I am the dungeon master it won’t attack, but what about Arisu?’
“Hmm? I should move?”
‘Yeah, for a few seconds. Just stand over there.’
I pointed to a few feet in front of me and she stood there. The skeleton charged at her, waving its rusty sword about, bones rattling in the hollow space. I expected Arisu to jump out of the way, but the little bunny just stood there, the blade coming for her head.
‘Stop!’
I ordered and the skeleton’s blade paused right above her head. The undead was fixed in place like some weird skeleton statue.
‘I have absolute command over them, huh? New discovery! Arisu, come over here.’
I called her and she sat back on my laps.
‘Ok, now let’s see. The store is offering me the mobs as a package deal, but can I get them individually?’
I tried to get 1 slime, since they seemed to be the least expensive. One slime costed 2DP. A green slime formed up next to the undead. Curious enough, I summoned 4 more, costing me 8 dungeon points. I was amused by the development.
After that I was about to use the GPs I had acquired to attempt to the Gacha function. I used it on the random summon and got one red slime. I wanted to pluck out my hair especially considering the fact that it probably wouldn’t be easy for me to get GPs.
I decided to take a look at my Summons tab. There I saw all the creatures I had summoned. Note, only the creatures I summoned were present. All the monsters I fought had disappeared. My dungeon would have to start out with 30 undead and 6 slimes.
