Despite the disaster caused by the disappearance of one Dungeon Core, Tuan got off the hook because of the information of a supposedly Common Dungeon being able to kill him, a Rank C Adventurer, and the construction of the city, Bayhelm, near such Dungeon and the Uncommon Dungeon that will be used as a source of income continued at full steam with the Ex-Phantasmas opening a temporary Warp Gate to transport the architects, carpenters and all the resources necessary to the city’s construction.

Now one week after the construction’s beginning, the city began to take form with stalls scattered everywhere and a bigger than most buildings already completed in the center of the city, instead of a normal town hall the building’s name was Adventurer Guild’s branch.

Adventurers went and left the building to do Dungeon Dives or even some miscellaneous requests. And after one week a common knowledge is passed on through the newbies, ‘if you want to train and gather money go to the Uncommon Dungeon named Cave of Desires, and if you want to die or bypass your limits go to the unnamed Dungeon that is on the contrary direction where the city is being constructed to. Nobody that had less than 500 PP had survived a Dungeon Dive to the unnamed Dungeon’.

Meanwhile, below the forest near the city, the grunts of a worldwide criminal organization, The Five Jack Skulls, were having a reunion. They used basic Earth and Air’s manipulation to create a provisory hiding place with a circulation of air and a barrier to not let anyone above the ground hear their conversations or plans.

“So… what do we do now? That damned Prime Minister is hunting all of us. We can’t go brazenly go steal the Dungeon Cores.” A female grunt with fiery red hair said. “Boss, should we give up and just settle in observing how the city grows?”

The said Boss caressed his bald head and groaned in defeat. “Yeah, we should give up and all of us with exception of one person must go back to our leader. I am certain the others groups are in a situation similar to us.”

Those were words the members of any normal criminal organization’s members would never utter, give up on a mission before even starting? Their leaders would kill them for insubordination.

But the members of The Five Jack Skulls’ were different, they were trained to always considers the pros and cons of their actions and immediately retreat if any profit is hard to be obtained without their leader’s help.

Arrogance and courage weren’t concepts part of their lifestyles.

“Then should I be the one to observe the city? I am a considerable beautiful woman whom can be easily contracted by the soon to be constructed brothels and whorehouses. Those places and taverns are the best places to gather information.” The red-haired woman, Claudia, showed off her ‘advantageous’ proportions to demonstrate her point without being proud or happy about them.

She didn’t like she will have to ‘service’ random people and be objectified because of her own plan, but for the organization that welcomed and saved her from the streets, such sacrifices are negligible, even if she has to sacrifice her virginity that she was saving on for the right person.

“Hmm… Claudia, it hurts me for you have to do it alone. So I permit you to contract any person you feel the necessity to with this money.” The boss passed a bag to Claudia. “But you can’t tell them you are from The Five Jack Skulls, they will only be employees contracted by you.”

“Thank you, Boss. I will be certain to bring honor to our group.” Claudia bowed and everyone else gradually the hiding place until she was the only one in the forest above the ‘hole’ they were.

“Now, what should I do first-” Claudia tried to talk before she was left with mouth agape in shock because of what happened at her front.

A mini purple hole surged just like the ones that were a week ago over the world’s capitals and from it came a damaged violet Invader that didn’t even reach Claudia’s knees with its small height, different from the others Invaders that were bigger than most skyscrapers already made by the flying dwarves’ hands.

It lunged at Claudia before she could react and used its amorphous body to enter into Claudia’s body by her mouth and nose.

Stop! What are you doing to me? This is disgusting-, Claudia thought in despair as she cried and nobody came to help her.

In moments all her resistances were futile and she dropped limp on the ground while a message appeared for the last time on her front.

[The Gift is being uninstalled from this body. I hope you had a good time while using it.]

[Goodbye, Claudia Estheim.]

The Invader finished its invasion and stood up with Claudia’s body, no, its own body from the ground as its skin turned into a deep purple together with its body losing all kinds of hair existents.

“That blasted [Hero] really got me there, I even have had to flee before getting that Legendary Dungeon Core. At least they didn’t discover the mole we implanted long ago in this country with my false demise.” It said trying to adjust to the language Claudia uses thanks to her memory it got control of. “If I was captured I am certain that woman at his side would be capable of making me talk with her strange Class. How could we never heard about the [Antagonist]?”

The Invader now known as Claudia, observed her new body had some inconveniences she would like to remove with her shapeshifting ability. She at first removed the big lumps of fat at her chest and closed the two holes in her genital area which are fatal weaknesses. Only to perceive how strange she looked with a flaccid bra and daring outfits 'Claudia' used to accentuate her cleavage.

She sighed and brought back the lumps of fat while changing back her skin to a pale tone and not forgetting of bringing back her long silky red hair. She refused to open the holes in the genital area once again though.

It’s not like someone would see them anyways and she maintained firm in her conviction they were a fatal weakness. She couldn’t understand why the others Races always have at least one hole in their body that isn’t their ears or mouths.

She walked back to Bayhelm while analyzing her own memories and thinking about her future. Should she become a Wandering Invader and eat the maximum of Gift’s beares possible before an Ex-Phantasma or the [Hero] finding her? Or should she become a little more greedy and gather power to challenge the [Hero] again?

“So that is what those holes serve for. What strange ritual they have to reproduce each other.” She said in wonder after finishing of analyzing the original Claudia’s memories and discovering what the money in the bag serves for. “Let’s first arrange a way to reform my lost power. My future waits for me only after it. Fortunately, I don’t think our mole would be stupid enough to search for me just because my signal temporally disappeared.

"Grigor, I want to be strong like you and my brother. Could you bring me in secret to a city called Bayhelm? I heard there were two sorts of Dungeons really interesting there. I could go to the easy one and you would be capable of training in the unnamed hard one.” The Royal Princess, Rachel, said with a begging expression to the otherworlder boy when he was choosing the city he will be going to train by orders of the Ex-Phantasmas.

“Royal-”

“Didn’t I tell to call me Rachel? I thought we were friends.” Rachel feigned to tear by pure willpower.

“R-Rachel, of course, we are friends! I will bring you to Bayhelm, wait here until I arrange some clothes to disguise you.” Grigor couldn’t bear seeing Rachel ‘crying’ and immediately decided to go to Bayhelm although he doesn’t know anything about the place and he will be punished when someone discovers the Royal Princess disappeared because of him.

So easy, Rachel thought while smirking and dropping the Adventurer Badge she was forced to make on the ground to someone take at least one day to perceive she was gone. Now I just need to find the correct moment to pretend weakness and kill him to put the blame on the Guardian Ex-Phantasma or even in the Dungeon if the situation isn’t decent enough.

“Here, Rachel. Put these on.” Grigor gave to Rachel a pitch black cloak and a mask similar to the ones Grigor is using to disguise the blond hair and violet eyes coming from Rachel’s Royal Blood.

“Eh… Grigor, could leave the room for a moment? I need to go to the b-bathroom before leaving.” Rachel said with a blush.

Grigor dashed out from the room without saying anything.

“How come the IQ from the people of my planet got so low to them believe in my terrible performance? Leastwise with that ‘lovely’ painting monster and that bitch I once called of mother dead there is no one to stop me now.” Rachel dropped all the pretense and smiles when Grigor left the room.

As she put the raiment Grigor gave her, she dragged out from under her immense bed a blindfolded and mute maid she contracted years ago to be the perfect guinea pig to her secret weapon and the spell she finally completed because of her Class, [Novice Record Keeper].

The maid struggled and tried to fight against Rachel, but those efforts were futile. There is nothing that will be capable of saving her from being killed, no, erased from the Multiverses' records.

Rachel brought out the secret weapon she received, an iridescent jagged dagger which is so thin and blunt that isn't capable of killing anyone with an efficiency good as a normal dagger. But that isn’t anyways the original purpose of this dagger called Gift’s Usurper. Its purpose is something deeper and grandiose than killing a ‘nobody’ like a maid.

However, Rachel doesn’t know this and is using one of the Multiverses’ Primal Artifacts to only ‘kill’ a certain concept of the maid’s existence.

Rachel thought of giving an evil laugh or telling her plans to the maid, but she perceived that would be the actions of a third-rate villain she saw one time in a website with ‘tropes’, so she just stabbed the Artifact on a random area of the maid’s body and her wishes to the dagger function became true as a notification popped out.

[Target’s spawn point has been reset to the location where it dies.]

[Draining target’s PP and potential… you receive 1 PP.]

A small smile formed beneath Rachel’s mask as the way to finally become the [Heroine] opened to her.

Time to test my original Spell, Rachel began to chant for long ten minutes without stopping as the maid wept feeling her death approaching with Rachel holding a normal dagger over the maid’s heart.

“[Record Eraser],” Rachel whispered as the Spell was finished and she stabbed the steel dagger on the maid’s heart.

Before the maid’s soul could go to the Soulkeeper, chains appeared from Rachel’s shadow and brought it back to the maid’s body. “Second Stage.” Rachel’s overflowing Mana entered into the shadow chains and transformed them into hungry mouths that ate the very existence of the maid. The soul, memories, clothes, and body of the maid were completely forgotten and erased from the Multiverses’ records, Rachel is now the only person that remembers a mute maid took care of the Royal Princess.

“Final Stage.” The chains receded into Rachel’s shadow and the maid’s records were absorbed by her Class.

This Spell was so perfect in its execution that the maid’s body disappeared with her clothes and nobody noted the disturbance on the Mana’s flow in her room.

Although it takes too long and is impossible to be used in a fight. Rachel opened her room to find Grigor waiting for her together with another person using the same raiment she is using.

“Rachel, I hope you don’t care I found another person to travel with us,” Grigor said with the portable teleportation device in hands. “Don’t worry, your secret is safe with him.”

The other masked man bowed to Rachel and said some pleasantries with a clearly altered voice by Mana to try to disguise his identity. But to Rachel that is the [Record Keeper], such half-baked measures were useless. She exactly knew who this person was.

So the traitor is also coming, Rachel quirked her eyebrow and almost gave up of killing Grigor.

With almost being the imperative word.

I really don’t have anything against you, Grigor. But for my ‘happy ending’ I need you to die.

Why is that person going to Bayhelm though? Will something big happen in Bayhelm that I don’t know?
