《Dungeon of Apples? (Completed)》Chapter 5. New Apples.
Advertisement
I finish eating the mana of the 10 people who came in with Mayu. Damn bastards... They will never get her. She is mine.
Oi Innver. I got the mana. What now?
Innver: " Good good! Now focus on evolving your apples."
Evolving apples? To what?
Innver: "Depends. It seems you can evolve them into many different... Elements. Just focus on an apple with some mana and change the mana into water mana, earth mana, fire mana or any kind of mana."
Oh! Now I get it!
I focus on some apples and they start changing colours. There are some weird ones in there too.
Innver: "Magma apples... Water apples... Fire apples... Rock Apples... Yup I think it's time to start making your 2 rooms into forests now."
Ok Innver! I wonder what Mayu is doing in her room. When I was eating the mana she walked out of her room naked and cuddled up next to me for the night. Then when she woke up she blushed even redder than... The fire apple and left. I tried to ask her what is wrong but she just told me to leave her alone for now. Weird. I will never understand women.
I focus on creating forests in the 2 rooms. I had a lot of mana from the party of 10 what had 2 magicians. I wonder If I can create mobs what aren't Apples too... Innver?
Innver: "Yeah you can. You just need sufficient mana to learn to make them. It seems you finished the forests huh? Your apples are quite well hidden. They will have trouble getting through. I think it's time to start giving."
What shall we give them?
Innver: "Looking at your left over mana... You can create an iron and copper vein what will respawn over time in a new room."
Oh perfect! I focus on making a new room with an iron and copper vein. The iron vein was in the wall and the copper vein in the floor.
Innver: "Seems like you used all the mana now huh? How is THAT experiment going on?"
Oh... THAT one... It is going quite well. I can move my body around a little. I don't want to show it to Mayu yet. It is going to be a surprise.

I put atleast 3 pieces of mana from the 10 I got from the party into my Human body Core. I can move the head around. I couldn't see if I had facial features but... Now I saw.
I inspected my body more closely. I had long emerald hair. No facial features at all. My face was basically a blank slate. Looking at how big my core is and how much room the body takes I should be atleast 2 meters tall. Well because I was a male in my past life I am one in this life... Luckily...
What shall I do now Innver?
Innver: "Can you make 4 elements come together? I wonder if you can create something."
Ok... I take 4 elemental apples and put them together. A weird one appears. It looks like it would explode at any moment and it even looks like it's twig is a fuse... I throw it back into the 2nd room and focus on making more and more apples with some mana I left over to create more. I put them around the 2 rooms and my boss is still quite strong. I don't need to upgrade him yet.
What is Mayu doing in her room... I do wonder. Innver do you know something?
Innver: "I only know what you do."
--- Mayu's POV ---
I am so embarrased!!! That was not something a woman should've done! I cuddled up to my savior in my sleep! And I wasn't in the same room when i fell asleep! Though I felt his warmth in my sleep and it was... Nice and soothing... I want to sleep next to him again... It was such a good feeling when I did... I wonder when Tinvarr can move around. Actually Tinvarr's a bad name... Tinvarr means Taker... But he isn't a bad person... I should rename him to something nicer. Quinn? Quinn is an elvish name though... Well... No matter... Quinn means Angel of the Sky doesn't it...? Well that is a nice meaning to his new name... I'll tell it to him soon. I just need to get dressed... I slept next to him naked... That was so embarrasing!!!

I put on some clothes and prepeare myself and then go out the door. He immediatly takes notice of this and starts asking questions and asks me if something is wrong.
Mayu: "Tinnvar... I don't think your name suits you... I think Quinn would be better... Do you like it, Quinn?"
Quinn aka Tinnvar: "... That is a good name... What does Tinvarr mean? And what does Quinn mean? It feels like they have meanings.."
Mayu: "Tinnvar means Taker... Quinn means Angel of the Sky in elvish..."
Quinn: "I'll take the name! You gave it to me after all! I like the sound to it aswell!"
Mayu: "I'm glad you like it... And sorry that I cuddled up next to you when I was asleep...That was so embarrasing..."
Quinn: "No matter. I actually liked it a little. It showed me that you didn't force yourself to stay here with me and honestly want to stay here."
Mayu: "Well... Yeah... I never liked the guild. Everybody treated me nicely just to get closer to me and use me."
Quinn: "Use you!? I will kill them if they come in here Mayu!"
Mayu: "It's fine! They won't come in here for a while because I dissapeared and 10 others with me!"
Quinn: "Tch... Damn annoying humans trying to use my little Mayu... By the way Mayu... Do you want to see what I have done?"
Mayu: "What you have done...?"
Quinn: "Yeah! I basically remade the dungeon!"
I walk to the boss room and see no changes. Then I walk to the 2nd room from the entrance... It was a lush forest with what seemed to be brand new apples in hiding. I only saw them because I was so close with Quinn... Elemental apples? And a new element!? This dungeon would've killed me if it didn't save me...
Quinn: "Like it?"
Mayu: "Yeah I do! It's really neat!"
Quinn: "There is 1 new room at the entrance. I gave it two veins. One for copper and one for Iron. They will respawn. The 2nd and 3rd room are forests filled with apples and traps!"
Mayu: "So you are giving them resources? It's nice of you to do that in one of the first rooms!"
Quinn: "Also... Want to see my garden? I made it as an experimental room but It's now just a garden. I could make it your garden! Or we could both share the garden!"
Mayu: "We could both share it... Where is it though?"
Quinn: "Go to the boss room and then touch the furthest backwall from the entrance to the boss room. A small door should be there just big enough for you now. By the way... Do you like Dryads?"
Mayu: "Yeah! Drayds are one with nature and it is originally believed they were humans who really loved being in nature and refused to die leaving nature into the hands of evil! I really want to be one!"
Quinn: "Good... I am trying to figure out a way to make you a Dryad so you will fit here better. Being a dryad will help you survive in this dungeon and help me live!"
Mayu: "A dungeon... Helping me become one...? Dryads are basically enhanced humans what have high affiliation with nature! Every woman wants to be one! It's like a dream come true to me! I really love nature!"
Quinn: "Good good. It will take some time so wait for it OK? Well... I have to go back and try to gather some mana without eating adventurers. It will be good to try to gather mana from my surroundings."
Quinn's going to help me...? And to become a dryad in nature is basically to become immortal! This... I can never repay him... And he is going to gather mana from the surroundings? Quinn is special isn't he... Even if he has a human soul in a dungeon body.
Will Quinn gain enough magic to move his body completely and surprise Mayu? Will he be able to make Mayu happy? We shall find out in the future.

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
