There was a child.I could’ve sworn I heard a child saying something to me. I can’t understand it though. The words mixed into a mush that I can’t unbridle. And even this brief moment of clarity is quickly robbed from me as my mind sunk into the void. Unable to surface again.………Merlin moved along the lake inside the forest. The water is as clear as it was in the game or maybe even clearer than that. There’s a certain clarity to it that makes some parts shimmer when touched by sunshine. Merlin likes this because, in the game, water like this is potable. It’s clean. If there is anything that goes in and dirties it, as long as it isn’t to a large extent, the new water will wash away the impurities.He followed this for a while. About fifteen minutes to be exact. Until he reached a spot where there aren’t as many trees surrounding him. The perfect spot for him to fight his enemies.“You can come out now.” Merlin said.He’s felt the presence of these creatures before he went deep into

After three long days, Sylvie finally finished marking the entirety of the forest. There are carvings on trees placed on every location. With him and Merlin having to use up teleportation scrolls everyday just to get back at these locations and also go home to the dungeon. They can’t leave the place unattended after all since there’s still a chance for them to get attacked, a huge chance at that.Nevertheless, things did go smoothly within these days that passed. Merlin defeated as many monsters as he wanted. Along with this comes the demon’s better understanding of the speech pattern of the monkeys. He can’t use it but, he can at least decipher it based on the sounds they’re making and the actions that are aligned with these. This won’t be a problem if these monsters are in his dungeon. Since they’re allies, Merlin will be able to see a speech screen on top of them every time they talk. Making it easier for him to converse with the creatures. But he’s not planning on placing these m

As soon as the meeting with the elder of the forest ended, Merlin and Sylvie went back to the dungeon. There’s a couple of seconds of silence that’s shared between the two of them before Sylvie finally bursted into laughter. Entertained by the recent events that have just transpired.“Man...it really worked the way you said it would.” She said, removing a tear from her left eye.“Was there ever any doubt?” Merlin said in reply. It’s easy to see why the elf would find this whole thing comical. It’s because she hates ents the same way she hates regular elves. Of course the elves are at the top of that hierarchy but she also hates ents all the same. That’s why she’s overjoyed to see that Merlin has tricked the creature; though it isn’t really that hard to do as long as someone knows a certain trait of the ents.These are fair creatures. The ents do not normally hold a

Merlin and Sylvie stayed on top of the tree for a while longer. There is a silence shared between the two of them. And this isn’t Merlin’s doing. It is the dark elf that’s creating this. The demon can feel it, as well as the question that might be forming on her head. But since she doesn’t seem to have any intention of making it come out, Merlin took the liberty of asking it from her.“If you have something to say, I’m all ears.” Merlin said.“You know that I usually don’t question your decisions Merlin.” The dark elf said. “But do you really think he’d be okay all on his own?”“Oh yeah, you haven’t seen it have you?”Merlin is talking about the training of course. Teach has undergone long hours of training in order to get stronger. Strong enough to not be a burden to anyone. He has sharpened his skills with the basics. Thrusting his spear day in and day out just to make sure that he’d be able to ingrain everything into his body. That is the kind of dedication that the hybrid knight

[A Day After The Dungeon’s Upgrade][Inside the New Facility – Smithery]“My lord. You called for me?”Teach entered the new facility that was constructed quicker than any other. Merlin didn’t say this to Sylvie but the hot spring actually came secondary to this one - the smithery. This is because Merlin prioritizes the creation of gear and weaponry. Things that are of utmost importance for the maintenance of a strong dungeon.For this purpose, Merlin also created five goblins. All of which are units that are assigned to the smithery. Though they aren’t as good as dwarves, there is no choice in the matter because the latter mentioned units aren’t available for production. Although Merlin is the owner of a dungeon, there are limitations to what he can summon based on what type it is.Fortunately, Merlin has already found a way around this. The demon is together with the five goblins that he summoned. Wearing the same attire as them. With an apron on top of their clothing and goggles pr
