It has been 4 days since I bought the puzzle door and something has been bothering me and that is that I can’t see behind my puzzle door! There is no window. Nowhere to look though! How am I supposed to know if there is somebody who has seen my dungeon? So I have been thinking about the other side of this door a lot. It is a big mystery. Well not really either there is either nothing or there is a guy playing with my Rubik’s Cube just outside my door. You might say thinking about such foolish things is a waste of time but… It is not like I have a better use for my time. After focusing really hard about this dilemma a blue screen suddenly popped up!

New skill 'Dungeon Sense' learned

Ok this could be just what I needed.

‘Appraisal!’

Dungeon Sense

A creature with this skill is capable of seeing anything in their dungeon's domain.

With this I can see the other side of the door!

Eh! There is a guy using my Rubik’s Cube! OMG OMG OMG OMG! What do I do. He’s going to kidnap me and use me for my 2 Mp a day and suck it out of me. I am going to be used! OMG! OK! Calm down. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Come on. Deep breaths. Shit I can’t breath! I’m dying! NOT. I just don’t breath I’m a rock you know. But really what do I do. I don’t know if he can solve it or not so I guess all I can really do right now is watch.

After a while of watching I got this neat message.

A human has entered your dungeon or been in it for a day.

+1 Dp

Looking at the message I chose to analyze the ‘Dp’ because thinking about it I have no clue what it actually is.

Dp

A dungeon point can be used to purchase items or to gain 5 Mp.

What? You can transfer a DP for 5 Mp? And I got 1 Dp for this guy being in my dungeon for an hour?! This definitely encourages me to let humans into my dungeon. Maybe I’ll get even more for killing them.

‘Aka sick em!’

Oh, shit! Aka is actually trying to get through the door the kill him!

‘Aka stop it!’

I guess this means I can command my minion. No, wait this much should have been obvious. Aka is my minion of course he obeys my command. Thinking about it could Aka beat this man? Let metry it.

‘Appraisal!’

Human lvl 7 Main Class: Merchant

… This guy is a merchant and he is level 7. I can’t seem to see his stats or skills but he is obviously not combat oriented. Thinking about it I can’t see Aka’s skills either. This must be because my appraisal is too low of a level but now that it is lvl 2 maybe I can see Aka’s skills.

‘Appraisal!’

Fire Serpent lvl 1 Name: Hp: 9/9 Mp: 0/0 Stats: Str: 4(+2) Int: 0 Dex: 6 Spd: 9 Vit: 2 Wis: 0 Luk: 3 End: 5

No, I guess Aka is still too powerful for me to see his skills. Not that he is that powerful he is only lvl 1. I guess a lvl 2 skill can only go so far. That fact that he is my minion might have something to do with the fact I can even see his stats. I’ll have to appraise a lot in my free time to level this up so that way I can learn how strong my opponents are.

‘Dungeon Menu!’

I focusing on the ‘Evolve Creatures’ option.

Evolve 'Fire Serpent' (Random) 10 Mp Increase 'Fire Serpent' Exp 1 Mp Evolve 'Goblin' (Random) 5Mp Evolve 'Goblin' 10 Mp Increase 'Goblin' Exp 1 Mp

I have came to a realization. I am able to spend my Mp to help level up my minions without them having to fight. One would say that waiting and evolving Aka is a good idea but that costs 10 Mp which I don't have it is a random evolution but I don’t think that is a big deal. Any evolution is probably a good thing for Aka. For now though I’ll spend one Mp to help increase Aka’s level.

'Aka' has gained +50 Exp

'Aka' has reached lvl 2

Wow 1 Mp was enough to get to level 2! That is OP! I have found the best use of Mp ever! We are doing that again.

'Aka' has gained +50 Exp

Eh? It didn’t level up this time?

'Aka' has gained +50 Exp

Eh? Still? I am only giving you one more chance Aka!

'Aka' has gained +50 Exp

'Aka' has reached lvl 3

At least it worked that time. This does let me know that futur levels will be even harder to get though which is slightly concerning. Let me see how much a 2 level difference does for Aka!

‘Appraisal!’

Fire Serpent lvl 3 Name: Aka Hp: 12/12 Mp: 0/0 Stats: Str: 5(+2) Int: 0 Dex: 7 Spd: 11 Vit: 3 Wis: 0 Luk: 3 End: 6

Unless there is a skill he got that I can’t see, Aka didn’t get a whole lot better for 4 Mp. I could have summoned a goblin for 2 Mp so I might have made the wrong choice in terms of how to use my mana.

I quickly use my last 4 Mp and summon 2 goblins.

The goblins appear right behind where my ‘Dungeon Menu’ Screen used to be just like how it worked with summoning Aka. Now for a quick check up.

‘Appraisal!’

Goblin lvl 1 Name: Hp: 5/5 Mp: 0/0 Stats: Str: 4(+2) Int: 0 Dex: 4 Spd: 6 Vit: 1 Wis: 0 Luk: 8 End: 3

After a while of watching his guy sleep in the entrance of the dungeon I got this message.

A human has entered your dungeon or been in it for a day.

+1 Dp

So first things first I have a total of 10 Mp I could spend by using my Dp so I am going to evolve Aka since it won’t waste any of my Mp. I focus on the option to get a random evolution for Aka.

'Fire Serpent' 'Aka' has begun evolution

'Fire Serpent' has evolved into 'Serpent of Flames'

Ugh. I regret this decision. Where was the flashing and rapid expansion like in Pokémon? Or even shedding for that matter? He didn’t even shed his skin. And what is up with this chuunibyou esk species name? How is evolving for a ‘Fire Serpent’ to a ‘Serpent of Flames’ an evolution? Your stats better be much better Aka or there won’t be any dinner for you tonight! Not that I will give you dinner anyway but it is still true.

‘Appraisal’

Serpent of Flames lvl 3 Name: Aka Hp: 16/16 Mp: 5/5 Stats: Str: 5(+2) Int: 7 Dex: 7 Spd: 11 Vit: 3 Wis: 2 Luk: 3 End: 6

What? Your evolution was not useless Aka? Interestingly the level carried over between evolution. But you have magic now Aka! Your chuunibyou form is not useless! I am sorry for making fun of you Aka. But now that his stats are better could Aka kill a sleeping merchant?

I have a total of 19 str among my army. Hopeing this is enough I quietly open my dungeons door and have my 3 minions sneak out.

I close the door behind them incase they lose to the merchant so that way he won’t be able to get in. I need to make sure I win though so that he won’t report my dungeon to the town and bring a nerd to solve the Rubik’s Cube. My minions get on the other side of him with Aka in the center and a goblin on each side of him. Aka’s head goes up in the air looking down on the sleeping merchant and the goblins on either side start pushing their claws forward.

The first goblins claw sticks into the man’s neck as his eyes snap open and he starts to scream.

'Goblin' has dealt a critical hit

-12 Hp physical damage

At the same time the other goblin slashes down the Man’s right leg tearing down to the bone with his long claws.

'Goblin' has dealt

-6Hp physical damage

Aka’s fangs simultaneously are set on fire! This must be the magic Aka learned! He snaps forward with his high speed and bite straight through the man’s arm!

'Aka' has dealt

-7Hp physical damage

-14Hp magical damage

The combination of magic and physical attack does a huge amount of damage as the defenceless merchant starts to cough up blood from the wound to his neck. The man’s eyes roll back into his head and he goes limp.

'Human Merchant' has died

+600 Exp

Good job Aka! As the man dies his body starts turning into ash that seeps through the floor of my dungeon!

Title 'Enemy of the Human' gained

Let me quick appraise this title I got.

Enemy of the Human

+1 to all stats for non-humanoid monsters under your command

Wow, this is really good I’ll have to make sure not to use a humanoid as my swarm type monster since they won’t get this buff though. Maybe I could use rats or bats or something like that.

Dungeon has absorbed 'Human Merchant'

+1 Dp per level

+7 Dp

What’s this though? 7 Dp for an easy kill? That is worth a lot of mana if I convert it! This is great! Plus there is the loot in the caravan this man owned which I will have my goblins bring inside.

‘Go forth my minions!’

Huh? They won’t leave the dungeon?

Could it be that they can’t leave the dungeon since they are my monsters? SHIT! Now there is going to be a massive give away! I can’t even move the caravan! Hey this merchant died here! Why don’t I just put a sign up? Ugh I better get my minions back inside before anything else happens. For now the best use of my DP is to improve my Mp per day so I spend 3 Dp to first research a 3rd room and then create it in line with my other two. The next room costs 15 Mp to research so I dump my last 4 Dp into researching the fourth room and buying it. Now for the juicy stuff! The level ups! Let me check everyone’s status!
