"Phew, I am stuffed…" said Chaos, feeling stuffed after eating a whole dungeon worth of monsters…

Ding!

[Your [Blood Core Rank: [Level VI: High Dragon Vampire (Middle Stage)] has increased to Upper Stage!]

[Your [Dragon Heart Rank: [Level VI: Adult Blood Dragon (Middle Stage)] has increased to Upper Stage!]

[Your [Existence Realm: [Pseudo Demi-Deity: 3/9 (Middle Stage)] has increased to Upper Stage!]

[You learned the following Skills]

[Chaotic Dragon Magic-Enhancing Black Blood]

[Chaotic Miasma Breath]

[Draconic Eyes of Chaotic Disruption]

[Mana Mastery]

[Chaos Dragon Abyssal Soul Aura]

…

Chaos seems to have gained 5 new skills by eating the powerful and big Chaos Dragon! It seems that all five of these Skills had good compatibility with him.

"Interesting, these skills… Let's see…"

Chaos decided to check the skills information.

…

[Chaotic Dragon Magic-Enhancing Black Blood]: Transform your blood into chaotic black blood, enhancing the ability to conjure magic and make mana flow through your bloodstream, enhance your mastery, proficiency, and effectiveness at the time of casting magic.

[Chaotic Miasma Breath]: Gather deadly miasma within your throat and release a powerful breath attack of pure miasma, which can disrupt other attributes and cause unhealing wounds.

[Draconic Eyes of Chaotic Disruption]: Unleash the power of the Chaos Dragon through your eyes, causing a disruption effect to any attribute other than Chaos within a five-meter vicinity of your eyesight.

[Mana Mastery]: Enhances your ability to utilize and control mana to mastery levels.

[Chaos Dragon Abyssal Soul Aura]: Enhance your soul and unleash a powerful chaotic soul aura that can enhance your body to grant strength and stamina bonuses, alongside enhancing chaos attribute magic.

…

It seemed that all these skills were rather useful, and might be able to enhance Chaos's strength and capabilities to even greater extents. Chaos quickly decided to activate most of the Skills right away, leaving them as passive effects over his body. They costed mana but his mana was so vast it regenerated before it could decrease due to the constant use by the skills.

"Now that we are done, what should I do?" wondered Chaos.

"My lord, good work there!" said Abyss, as she jumped over Chaos and began to cleanse his body from the blood and everything, as he had gone back to his humanoid form.

"For now, my lord, I would recommend you conquer the dungeon and tame the dungeon core!" said Belphegor.

"That's possible?" asked Chaos.

"Certainly! Although Master Ainz had done it sometimes, the dungeons he conquered are now released from his power as he… well, died. But he did this sometimes. After defeating the last boss, you must find the dungeon core and use your magic to dominate its will, effectively taming it and converting yourself into the dungeon master!" said Belphegor.

Chaos learned from Belphegor that his father had conquered dungeons! It seems that those that defeated a dungeon's last boss could try to find the dungeon core and suppress it with their magic power.

Perhaps this meant that there were many dungeons across the galaxy that are owned by people? Or maybe not… it dependent on how rare were the people actually capable of taking over dungeons.

Chaos asked this to Belphegor.

"Hmmm… I have… no idea… But perhaps there should be more people that own dungeons, certainly. Perhaps all beings above pseudo demi deity might have the potential to create or own a dungeon. As you did! You indirectly created a dungeon after all," said Belphegor.

"I see… Well, I think I already located the dungeon core," said Chaos.

"Eh?!"

Chaos quickly raised his leg and crushed the floor with his feet, cracking the floor as the pieces of the floor flew everywhere.

Suddenly, as the smoke from the stones breaking apart dissipated, a hidden chamber beneath everyone's feet emerged!

"Amazing… Lord Chaos found it right away…!" said Abyss.

"Well, I did it before even fighting," said Chaos, as he leaped into the hole.

Darkness greeted his sight, but he used Dark Vision to see through the darkness with ease and landed on the floor of this secret chamber.

The first thing that greeted his sight aside from the darkness was… a small white sphere.

It looked made of semi-transparent crystal, and it was… trembling?

Chaos glanced at it as he walked towards it.

"Are you the Dungeon Core?" he wondered.

"…"

It couldn't speak, it was a Dungeon Core that had been just born, so it didn't know what to say, it also didn't know how to fight, nor do anything else than being a dungeon.

Its energy was drained, and it was now left hopeless. It began to fear that it would get shattered or eaten by the monster that ate its most powerful beast…

Chaos felt its fear as he reached to it and touched it.

"Hm, you seem weakened, did you exhaust your energy? Don't worry, I don't want to eat you, you can work for me producing monsters as long as I give you mana, right? How about you help me feed my people?" asked Chaos.

The little dungeon core suddenly stopped trembling, as it felt Chaos' hand's warmth and… sudden compassion within his eerie crimson-red eyes.

Aside from the darkness that encompassed his entire being, there was a pure and innocent heart, and one that desired something from it, but not to harm it.

The Dungeon Core felt naturally attracted to him as if it had found something it lacked…

It flew towards Chaos, startling him a bit, as it rubbed itself over his chest.

"?!"

Chaos suddenly felt as if he was being hugged by a little child, someone that needed guidance and company… within this dungeon core, there was a little soul within it, doubtful and fearful…

Chaos extended his arms as he hugged it as he began to feed it with his mana slowly.

"Don't worry, you won't be alone. I will be here," he said, as the Dungeon Core felt new power overflow through its body, changing colors from white to black!

FLASH!

At the same time, Chaos felt that a soul connection was made with the Dungeon Core… And he became a Dungeon Master.
