Chapter 13 - Livestock

Prev  |  TOC  |  Next "Ahhhhhhhh... It's so vast~ so vast~, I am...! Vast...!!" Peta-chan was flying around the 9th-floor grassland, utterly delighted. "Hmm...? So you can enter the dungeon like that, huh?" I watched Peta-chan from the Master Room through the monitor as she soared around, enjoying the 9th floor. Thanks to the monitor's smartphone and tablet-like functionality, I could easily converse with Peta-chan even from a distance. "Well, this body isn't real—it's just a conscious illusion. We can never leave that Master Room... or rather, the Master Room itself is us. My real, unconscious body is still there, right? And I don’t do this often, you know. It’s a waste of points. The last time I did this was 40 years ago when my 8th floor was completed." Is that so...? I checked the point cost for a Dungeon Core to explore its own interior. It displayed 50,000 points per hour. "Expensive... Well, I guess it’s fine for now." I sa...

Chapter 12 - The 9th Floor

Prev  |  TOC  |  Next Upon receiving reports of the discovery of a staircase leading to the 9th floor, the female knight corps quickly assembled a team of 30 dungeon exploration specialists and set off for their destination. These elite knights, who had ventured into the dungeon countless times before, made their way through the familiar paths. Along the way, they took breaks to enjoy the hot springs on the 5th and 6th floors.

Just how far have we gone down? And we’ll have to climb back up on our way back... The thought of it was enough to make them feel deeply gloomy. They were heavily armed with armor and weapons, and they carried nearly a week’s worth of food and water. Climbing back up would be far more grueling than the descent. Even for highly trained soldiers, imagin...

Chapter 11 - Did You Do Something Weird While I Was Asleep?

Prev  |  TOC  |  Next “Whoa, a group of burly female warriors. Rare sighting.” Unlike the well-dressed, etiquette-conscious female knights we usually see, these were rugged, adventurer-type female warriors in heavy, no-nonsense gear. A female knight guarding the dungeon entrance checked the pass-like item the warrior handed over and then let her through. “Never seen armor like that before. Must be a traveling warrior who heard about this place from afar.” Lately, it hasn’t just been female knights visiting. Thief-like girls, hunter-like girls, martial artist-like girls—all sorts of customers have been showing up, often accompanied by high-status ladies. This time, it’s a female warrior who seems to have come from a distant land. Has our reputation finally spread beyond the borders? “Are they charging an entrance fee with those passes...?” Most of the kingdom’s female knights have already had their turn in the baths, and lately, the knights have clearly shifted their ...
