"Welcome dungeon Master " said the lady I met earlier who is also the dungeon core protector
"I am not interested in explaining myself like I did the last time neither am I interested in your dungeon mastering whatever "I said unconcerned"I know you will come up with this so I have decided to do things on your behalf" I still didn't reply as I folded my arms and laid against the wall. The vines started moving and before I could move, I got tied down. The lady dipped her finger inside my body and our finger pierced through my skin, she let out a drop of my blood on the dungeon core and some words appear in the air[System activated][Occupation accepted as an hybrid of the devil kingdom][The hybrids blessing 100,000 points][The worst spirit concentration! Your power is very low][Beginners protection period (60 days][Random high-level monsters will appear on the ground floor of the dungeon, monsters will disappear when the beginner protection is over][Notice: Randoml monsters will not obey the dungeon Master]I was forced to accept the role of a dungeon Masterwhen the message that filled the air disappeared I looked around, this desolate cave felt more like home.The dungeon core shining with blue light was the only thing near me."The worst blessing ever "the lady commented"What's that? ""You've got 100000 points because you are a hybrid, a full devil lowest blessing is 200,000 ""Who cares ""Your status wouldn't be any different" when she saw the confusion on my face she said "say the word status window"After I said those words, a character window appeared in the airReal name: Levin WalkerOccupation: hybrid of the devil and human (dungeon master and superhuman)Title: noneCharacter attributesStrength 60 m, Spirit 39, Constitution 42, Agility 59, Intuition 65Others: N/A"Huh, these are just my superhuman abilities ""you mean your devil abilities, you were never a superhuman "Hearing those words I clenched my fist and anger shown on my face; I am what I hated most"by the way my name is Warg and it is your responsibility to protect me and the dungeon core""That's why you forced the dungeon mastering role on me, for your own life?" I looked at the dungeon core, it was a big size coin in blue light. It is a precious treasure, the worthiest in dungeon hunting reward. If I don't have to protect this, I can just take it to the human world and become rich."That's wrong, this dungeon core is my life and the foundation of the dungeon, your home. if it get destroyed, I will die and you will be homeless, probably get killed by humans or devils"I neglected warg and I isolated myself; with this weird thing going on I don't know what to do."You are supposed to be my master and I your closest subordinate, you can't neglect me like that" I still didn't reply so Warg continued "then I guess I'll do things on my own. First is to explain this new world to you, this world is working under a different system and I'll will give you a brief and compressive explanation""I don't need it"Warg sighed because of my interruption but continued talking "All I need you to do is listen. There is a general shop, where you can buy everything you need for yourself and dungeon protection. There skills, monsters, all thing you need" Warg waved her hand in the empty place and some words appeared[Welcome to the General Shop] after the words, the picture of a castle showed in the air, it was very beautiful and guarded"This is the castle of the dark lord, it is empty for now and only the winning can possess it""I never knew the devils have eyes for good things too, I thought they only know how to destroy""They do destroy when they have a reason to. I know you have a good heart and can't bear killing humans but whether you participate or not according to the devil God's plan, most humans will still die. There are 69 other devils killing humans, your exception won't affect the god's plan but you've got a chance to save humanity. The devils are evil but you are different, if you become the devil king you can command all devils never to kill humans but if a devil becomes the king that is the end of all humans. Are you doing or not?"Looks like Warg already made up her mind, it's either I join or I die. Well all she said is true, it's better I kill a little now and save many later than not kill at all while many will die later."I'm in, I must be the devil king to stop devils from killing humans" I stood up and went closer to the general shop, there are two words under the devil king's castle on the left side 'close shop' and on the right 'shop'. I clicked on shop and an inventory appeared with all items that I can buy with my pointsAs an I hybrid I have a low point of 100000 pts. Warg said that real devils earn double and devils with higher position earn very high points that I cannot imagine for a welcome bonus. I can't be jealous, I'm just an hybrid after allThere were things from regular potion to extremely strong magic weaponsSome expensive ones cost hundreds of points but I don't know what I'm looking for. I kept scrolling the pages and soon I reached a line up of skill books.By purchasing skill books, users can use different powers at the same time. I think this will enhance my strength as a superhuman, I won't be limited to those born with devil power. No wonder humans don't term my powers as strong, it isn't a skill in the first place. The strength of a skill book depends on its level, this meant that with many points you could easily become very strongI am starting to like this dungeon since helping me grow stronger is part of my benefits, it won't do much harm"The market is limited to the skill books in this inventory, once a devil buys one, it disappear. It's better you buy what you need when you can buy it" Warg advised"So the earliest dog eats the latest bone right?""You are already the late dog, you fight for the fat bone or you eat the bad one""There are bad skills on the market?""Not really, but there some skills that bear names that are contradictory to what they can do""You know I have always believe devils are liars""I won't object that statement"I took my face of the inventory and looked at Warg"Devils are really liars?""Yeah, devils are good liars they are so ruthless that they don't care how you feel, they can do anything to get what they are pursuing""I don't lie and I'm not ruthless""That's because you have nothing you are pursuing now"I spent sometimes checking all skill books in the inventory and I don't know which to choose"Of you'll ask for my advice, then I'll tell you to choose a skill that will compliment your devil abilities like a fire skill" Warg advised"Why a fire skill?""Because fire is an inborn power of the devils but you didn't have it because you are incomplete""In other words, devils are immune to fire, right""You are wise, dungeon master""Well am not, I want a skill that can counter the powers of devils, is ice a suggestion?""No, although ice skills might truly reduce the effect of devils fire, fire ain't the only devils power""Ok, then let's keep checking"I kept surfing through the inventory until I found an eye mask. I clicked it to see it's attributes[Name: Holy Veil (20000pts][Attributes: Increased eyesight and senses, Foresight]"I find this great, should i buy it""It looked good truly but judging from the price, it won't be that great""But does it have foresight?""Define foresight?"I thought for momentin fear of buying a fake skill but decided to buy"It doesn't matter" I said as click the word buy[Skill learnt: Holy Veil][Attributes:[Increase Eyesight and Senses (lv 1) You can now see things far from you clearly][Foresight( lv 1): Predict what will happen next, predict how strong your target is][Remark: This is a holy equipment, it's effect will be halved if use by a devil]"Guessed it won't be that good" Warg complimented"I'm not a full devil, let's see how it works on an hybrid"After 20000 pts was deducted from my points, a veil was dropped on the ground. I picked it and wore it, I can see things that I haven't seen before.The connection between the floors in the dungeon to the dungeon core through the use of vines, the veil somehow seems to be explaining things that I'm seeing to me."Is there no wrong in me using this skill on you?" I asked Warg"What do you want to do?""Check your status ""Go on"I states at Warg and her status window appeared before meName: Warg(Demon)Occupation: Dungeon Core ProtectorTitles' Unknown Skill: Corroding DarknessAbilitiesStrength 59 Intuition 58 Spirit 65 Agility 48 Constitution 60Overall Ratings: 290"It works, I can see your stats" I commented"I'm not surprised it works better on you, one of your hybrid advantages" Warg replied"What is this corroding darkness of a thing?""You'll see it when I use it, what are my titles?""They are unknown""Like I said, it won't work fully. It is unable to see my titles cause one if them is a princess ""Wow, a princess of this kind… Do you hear that?"I heard a heavy breathing and grunting that sounds like a monster's"He
My happiness can't be comprehend and didn't that monster just say "at my service"I looked at Warg and saw the surprised and smiling face of hers"What?""Where did you get that sword?""Oh, while I was searching for a weapon on the market a lottery popped up which I won and this sword of lies is the reward""This sword is a good one but it can't kill, unless you are good at lying, you can't use it"The snake monster wriggled it's body and said "order me dungeon master""Go to the lowest floor of the dungeon, and stay put"With great speed, the snake went down. After she left some messages popped up in my vision[The monster 'Mou' is under your command due to the effect of the sword of lies deception and control][If you lose the sword, the monster will go against you and will be freed from the sword of lies]"It isn't necessary to kill when you can control" I said to Warg"That's only if you can tell the correct lie to the target""Will you teach me how to lie better""I'm a demon an
The new recruit spent about 15 minutes in the trial dungeon before the door opened again. They all came out, all of them hurt, some were almost dead. I also came out with lots of wounds on my body but something is different about me.While others were struggling to move and waiting for medication, I am still standing and my wounds, although at a slow rate, are visibly healing. The lady earlier ordered the guild workers to give medication to the wounded. When she noticed me she asked for my name and my powers"My name is Levin and I have a fast growth in all aspects ""plus healing right, your gift is really rare. Your strength should be at least on the second leaf level. Well, let's check your ratings first "the lady said and move away from me to where the judges are, she scanned through everyone's rating and called their attention to tell them their results"Attention everyone, all of you did great in the trial dungeon and you all managed to get to the one leaf level, none of you ha
6pmBack in the guild, there are many members present in the guild all practicing and cultivating. I joined the group of people practicing how to use a sword as if it will do any good to me. Well, it might. I have the sword of lies though I do know how to use a sword. If practicing with humans will help me, why not. I initiated the movements of other learners and I am starting to understand how to use a sword. Just then, I heard her voice"Sword, I think spear or other long weapons will be better" Maxine said holding a spear on her left hand"Why will you say that""When you hold a long weapon, targets tend to keep their distance at the length of your weapon. It will be better if those monsters won't come closer to you. Plus, you've got the strength to use a long weapon"I stopped practicing I thought for a while"Well then, let's learn how to use a spear"I return the sword to where it should be and follow Maxine to where those learning swords are. On our way, we saw those cultivatin
The village is full of long grasses and small huts. There were around 50 superhumans in the village. The super humans were surprised with what they see and couldn't understand"Do not be afraid or relax, I've been in a dungeon like this before . They are most times filled with dwarves alone, just learn that dwarves are friendly unlike other monsters" the guild master advisedThe guild keep scouting the village until one of them called out " we found something" others rushed to where the voice came from It was a deep hole filled with water but it wasn't closed."This place looks more of a safe zone to me" one of the guild administrator said"Are there safe zones in dungeons" another asked"I have come across a safe zone in a dungeon before but not on the first floor. It's impossible for a devil to make its first floor a safe zone" the dungeon master answered" What if he's just being nice? " One of the newbies asked" There is no being nice when it comes to the devil, it's either you
Mou and I went to the top floor and I went to Warg"I made Mou the monster captain""I've seen it. Mou, I will forward all your duties to your status. The system will notify you when you received it""Ok, core protector. But there us one problem, there are some monsters scattered around the dungeon, they seem to be independent and won't listen to orders"" Oh yeah, the random monsters. Can you approximate their average number" I faced Mou and asked " No dungeon master, but I have come across six of them"" Warg, is there a way we can get all of them to gather in one place "" What are you going to do"" Tell them that this is my dungeon and of they will live here, they must obey me"" I don't think that is necessary because the system says the random monsters will disappear after the protection period""They are no more random monsters when they become monsters. Find a way of doing that and order Mou to do the task".I said I went away from Warg to the dungeon core. I sat beside it a
"Welcome Levin, my name is Ethan and I have laser eyes. I am the leader of the squad, as I have two years of experience in dungeon hunting. May I know if you are experienced or not"" I am inexperienced but I've fought monsters before"" It doesn't matter. Your skill will be tested on the 27th of this month. By then everyone should be in Golg. Do we have any Golg resident here? "" Yes, max and I are in Golg currently"" Great, you guys should arrange a place for us to meet. I'll update you if there is anything else. Mind you Levin, the squad is just a five unit squad so you need to try your best in winning the fifth position."" Don't worry, I will"The conversation ended as everyone's name went from black to gray; that is to indicate that they are offline"I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong but I do know one thing: 27th is three days from now and I need to prepare the dungeon for a real fight. I don't really need to kill them after all I waited till nightfall before I
"Desert, sand landscape desert, how can something like this be in a dungeon " rose asked" The last time it was some grassy area and dwarves in it" Maxine reminded" Ok stop everyone stop" Ethan halted ai do for everyone. "We are dealing with a cunning dungeon master here. The last people who entered this dungeon walked out alive, we don't know why. The dungeon master must have a reason for changing the dungeon escape every time but one thing I know is he is using the most easy way to capture us" "That means the dungeon master is trying to kill humans without losing any monster, that's genius " Maxine guessed" You are right Maxine " Ethan paused and then continued "forgetting the part of letting humans go, the first time it was a grassy area with dwarves in it, Now a sand desert . We need to think of monsters that can survive in a sandy area. Steve, what have you got"."Uhm, I don't think he's using monsters this time, maybe he wants to sink in the sand.

I fell on the ground, rolled on it and stood up. The cut on my back healed up in a few breaths. I looked around to see if anyone was with me but I still saw nothing. I drew out my sword, using the Holy Veil's senses and sight to predict where the next attack will come fromI realized that dinse my greatest fear is Nothing, I'm fighting Nothing The sense of danger that I felt is more concentrated on my left side so I guess that is where Nothing is. With all my speed I ran there and with all my strength I swung my sword but I stopped halfway. Nothing twisted the sword, forcefully collected it and threw it away. Nothing squeezed my neck, I almost died. Nothing threw me away and I gasped for air as I landed.To kill nothing, I need to find my advantage against it or its own weakness.Nothing slashed me again as it healed up immediately. This continues for a long time and I have to endure the pain. All the cuts nothing caused on me were healed instantly, as if they were never there, exce
Then an idea popped up in my mind.The spiritual core The spiritual core has the ability to control its spiritual energy. All I have to do is find ways to get back to the third floor and search for the Core.I released my spirit and covered my body with it and I ran towards the coming spirit energy. I dive into it and despite the cotcr of being pulled backwards, I manage to swim out of it as I get to the third quarter. It was all in ruins; broken bricks everywhere and I have to search for the core I begin my search for the north side of the quarter I searched the whole side very well but I couldn't find any pink shining coinIt's stupid, searching for a pink coin in a collapsed building.I have no choice though so I kept searching I went to the east side of the quarter and started another search . I searched the whole side but still found nothing. I heard the sound of the spirit energy coming towards the third quarter againThis is real trouble. The spirit energy is going to and fr
It's just like challenging a devil to kill 300 super heroes. Whereas it is very difficult to achieve, it's not an impossible feat Grr.. The sound of battle dogs came from all directions and I was surrounded. I took my battle stance and gripped the hilt of my sword.They all rushed towards me at once but they didn't realize that all of them cannot bite me at the same time. Every time I swing my sword, at least two of them fell There is always this small space that I always have between a fallen dog and an incoming one. All o have to do os occupy the space and use it to my advantage I kept slashing and slashing for a long time and it felt like it's never going to end but I didn't stop.I can't get hurt right in the second quarterAfter around ten minutes of slashes, I finally killed three hundred batti dogs. Blood was dripping from my sword and my body wax coloured red[You killed all the monsters; mission completed][You can now go to the third quarter]I jogged from the second qua
Out of the dungeon"It was good having you in our team, never thought acute senses could be this useful"" Rose, people don't know that acute senses is more of predicting the future than it is useless "After we got out of the dungeon, we drove back to the cafeteria we all met to share the profits."Steve, bring out the black gold coins for account"Steve had already wrapped all the black gold coins in a cloth, he took it out of his suit I put it on the table"We killed twenty scorpions and five birds. Both monsters are level 1 monsters so here, we have twenty five black gold coins" Steve paused to see if everyone was listening and then continued " according to the squad rules, we share our profits equally. So here are five black gold coins for everyone " After giving everyone five black gold coins there still remain one on the table and everyone looked at Steve with a suspicious eyes" Did I count wrong? I thought there were twenty five coins here"" There are supposed to be 25. I k
