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 fromIt 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 die or survive. No mercy, no grace" the guild master answered againThe guild master asked for a cup and he drew water out of the well, smelled it and said " it is honey water, made by king bees. We shouldn't stay here for long, let's move"Just as the guild turn their back at the well, they heard bees buzz" Run"The dungeon master took to his heels and others followed but they met some other bees before them"Queen bees, stop. Superhumans with fortress or protection powers, set up a fortress and cover us, those with wide attacks like fire or poison , attack "Everyone took the formation the guild master but before they could attack, they heard a loud horn and a faint voice" Stop, do not attack"On hearing the horn sound, the bees dispersed leaving the superhumans in fear. The superhumans didn't leave the formation and let the guild master address whoever stopped the bees"Who are you" the guild master called out"I live here" the faint voice replied"Where are you?""Here"Everyone looked around but couldn't find anyone"Right here, beneath you"They all faced down and they saw a dwarf with a long beard."How come you all are so tall and with no beards?" The dwarf asked "are you strangers"The guild master bent down and reply the dwarf"Yes we are. What is this place?""Hmph, guess you are from the world men, you must be humans"'yes we are""And you are here for dungeon hunting?""Yes""Hahaha, it must be a great surprise for you then, meeting this instead of a dangerous cave""Yeah, we are very surprised. Can you tell us what is going on "" It's been six months since the dungeon appeared and we haven't heard from the dungeon master so we dwarves happen to be the only monster on this floor. We made this village and I think you people should see the village leader, I'll take you there"The dwarf volunteered to take them to the village head and lead them there.In the dungeon; highest floor"Do you think Mou have conveyed my message to every monsters in the dungeon""It should be by now. Just hope that the humans won't go past the first floor because the random monsters might not obey your order""Let's see the situation on the first floor""Dungeon Status" Warg called out and the pictures of every floor in the dungeon appeared. Warg clicked on the first floor and the conversation between the humans and the dwarf appeared. We watched a dwarf lead the humans to the village head.The dwarf told the humans to stay out of the palace while he entered. He greeted the dwarf leader and said "there are many humans outside of the palace, my Lord""I have been expecting the them, an other just came from the dungeon master that the humans shouldn't be killed, he wants is to abduct them""What should I do, my Lord?""Be friendly to them, do not let them suspect anything. Prepare a dinner that I will go with the humans but make sure you add some sleeping herbs to the honey water that will be served""Yes my Lord" the dwarves said she went out to the humans"The village head wants a dinner with you all, follow me to the venue"The humans, although suspicious, have no choice but to follow the dwarf to a place where there are small chairs and short tables. There are many of them, enough to contain all the humans. The humans sat down and after some minutes, the dwarf leader joined them, sitting opposite the guild master."I'm very pleased to have you people here with us. We have never received a visitor in the past six months, consider the first floor of the dungeon a safe zone for humans after fighting monsters, you can always come here to rest""You mean there are monsters in this dungeon?""Yes, once you leave this village, you might of might not meet with the orges but right on the second floor, there are many monsters for you to kill"" So what are we waiting for, we are not here to get treated to dinner by some stranger dwarf" the guild master stood up, wanting to tell his members to move" Just that you can't know the way out of this village and there are many bees around, they are very dangerous ""what do you want us to do "" Nothing, I'll will tell one of my men to take you out of the village. As for the bees, once you drink the honey water that will be served soon, their bites won't affect you. They will just be like flies, hahaha" the dwarf leader laugh out loudAfter a few minutes, honey water was served. They hurriedly drank the honey water to set out for their journey to the second floor but before they could take 5 steps, they all fell one by one to the ground; asleep. The guild master before falling asleep looked at the dwarf leader with a questioning face"Am sorry, it's an order from the dungeon master"In The Dungeon"The dwarves did great, Mou is fast too. What do we do next?" I asked Warg"Commend and reward your monsters, this will make them make them more loyal""The first floor, I've never been there before""Yeah, there is an elevator just at the door, state where you are going and it will take you there"" So devils know science too" I said as moved awayWhen I got to the first floor, the dwarves tieing down the humans together and Mou was also present in case the humans made any movement."Y'all have done great, and you will be rewarded. Mou, for the time being you will be the captain of all the monsters on my dungeon""It's my pleasure dungeon master. I promise to do my duties diligently"" Good. As for the dwarves, you know that I'm a new dungeon master and I know nothing about dungeon mastering so I will give you the chance to ask for what you want. If it's by my capabilities, I'll do it for you"The dwarves started throwing on their suggestions" We need females, we need to reproduce "" No, we only need warrior dwarves to protect us from the orcs and ogres"Many of them kept talking and the floor lost its decorum" Enough, let the dwarf leader speak "The dwarf leader came forward and pays respect to the dungeon master"My Lord, since the dungeon appeared we've been in the dungeon, then it was a like a hot cave with little air and that is how a dungeon is supposed to be but after few weeks, we started having a number of deaths do we changed the setting of the first floor from a cave to a small village without the consent of the dungeon core protector. We ask for your forgiveness and please, don't turn the floor back into a cave"Somehow I was upset about what the dwarves had done, stealing their way to the top floor and tampering with the dungeon is not good. But if they haven't done that, how will the humans think this is a safe zone and key down their guard. I decided to forgive them but not permit, I have to punish them, they have to learn not to act recklessly whether I'm present or not."I'll will forgive them out but your punishment is that you will move all of the humans to the top floor without the help of Warg and then, I'll do what you want "" Thanks dungeon master, we will obey your order"" Mou, follow me"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 and opened the general shop. I needed real equipment to fight the monsters I'm afraid of. I saw Warg say some words Mou and Mou went away. After some minutes Mou came to me and gay some reports
"Dungeon Master, the dwarves are ready to start bringing in humans"
"Let them"
I kept surfing the shop but I still couldn't find any weapon that matched my taste. I looked around and couldn't find Warg on the top floor but I didn't seem to care. After few more minutes, Mou came with another report
"Dungeon Master, all the dwarves are on the top floor, kneeling. They are here with the sleeping humans"
"Okay, I'm coming, you can go"
"The dungeon core protector went to put poison on all floor of the dungeon, forcing the random monsters in one place, they are all on the second floor"
" You've done well Mou, now take me to the dwarves."
I followed Mou to where the dwarves and the humans were
" You've done well dwarves, your sins are forgiven. You are also made the dominant tribe on the first floor, you can go"
"Thank you dungeon master for your kindness and mercy"
The dwarf leader said and led the dwarves out of the top floor
"Get me Warg" I ordered Mou and it went away hissing like the snake it is
After some times, Warg came to the top floor
"It's done, you can now go meet the monsters"
"Yeah I will but I need you to take blood from this humans, earning points without killing "
Warg and I cut the bodies of the humans in different places. It won't easily be noticed ng the humans that we took their blood. We put all the 50 different drops of blood on the same vial and mixed it . I called Mou to take the humans to the dungeon gate which she did and by the time the humans woke up, they were happy to be awake. Gratefully, they left the dungeon
I took the vial containing the blood of 50 different bloods to the dungeon core and dripped everything on it.
Just as expected, the bloods evaporated and messages appeared
[The blood of human detected; you are rewarded 1000 points]
[The blood of human detected; you are awarded 500 points]
[The blood of human detected; you are awarded 2000 points]
This message keeps appearing and the number of points is within 500 to 2000.
When the messages stopped, the number of points I have is 80000 points
A smile of satisfaction appeared on my face and when I saw the next message, I saw could not contain my happiness
[Achievement made: for the first time 50 humans were sacrificed to the system. You are awarded 800000 points]
"Yeah" I screamed out as I started jumping around the top floor. "Now let's go to those disobedient monsters"
Warg led me to the second floor where the random monsters were gathered. Through the use of the Holy Veil, I can see the ratings of the monsters. The one with the lowest ratings has 250 and the hifi has 320. All thanks to Mou, she is a real devil serpent from the devil world, with her strong ratings it is enough to input fear into the monsters. They will think I'm stronger than the strong Mou
"This is my dungeon, and I Lord over it and everything on it, including any of you. I hate you have been disobeying my orders because you thought you are not my monster but I'm here now to claim you monsters for myself. You will be my servant, I'll be your master. Anyone of you that dares disobey me again will be used as a lesson to others. Do you all understand? "
I shouted at the monster. Say those with lower ratings went on their knees but 3 monsters are still standing, they have above 300 overall ratings.
"I reject go be your slave" one of the three replied
"If that's the way you want it, then you should let one of you fight my Mou, of you defeat her, you three will leave this dungeon immediately"
" I'll will fight her"
"No, it's me"
" Get out, none of you too is stronger to I am"
The three started an argument but I shut them up
"Shut up. If you can provide your representative, Mou can take you all at once. Now be fast, who is fighting?"
" Not me"
" Am not "
" Hmph, guess you're ain't as strong as your monster"
The three monsters kneel down and accept me as their master.
"Guess y'all ain't as strong as the system claims. Anyway, Mou is your captain, report all your complaints to her. You are free to choose the floor you want to be on the dungeon but you can't leave that floor once you choose it. Understood? "
"yes dungeon master" they all said in fear
I went back to the top floor and Warg and Mou followed
" Mou, inspect the assigning of floors by the monsters and bring me the report"
"Yes dungeon master " Mou replied and went away.
" Is my time up as a devil"
" Almost, but now that you are initiated, you can choose whether to be on be dungeon or earth, you won't be forced anymore "
" Really "
I sneezed and coughed. I yawned and sat up. In one word, I woke up in the medical center of the guild. Besides me is Maxine with broad smile on her face she said
"How are you feeling?"
"It's great you survived the dungeon "
" I didn't go"
" What! Why?"
" Cause I have to be with you aoo night with the guilt in my heart"
"Come on, you don't have to feel guilty, it's not because of you I fainted. So any news on those who went dungeon hunting last night."
"A failed operation, no humans die, no monster killed"
"How's that possible?"
"They were tricked into believing that the first floor is a safe zone so they dine with the dwarves where they were drugged to sleep and then taken out of the dungeon"
"That was pure goodluck, they didn't die. Come on, am okay, let's get outta here"
We went out of the medical center and on their way they met a doctor who questioned them
"Hey, we are yet to test you, you can't be discharged now"
"Don't worry, he heals fast, he'll be okay"
Maxine answered the doctor and we went out of the way. She insisted on taking me home which she did and then we parted.
Days passed, the news of what happened in the dungeon to the Dungeon monster hunting guild spread fast out of Egypt. It sounds funny and some more guilds brought their branches to Golg, some freelancers also formed attacking units and within a few days, the most common post all over the social media 'if you are a superhuman and interested in dungeon hunting in an independent squad, contact me'. Of course I neglected those posts and offers.
A week has passed and all I do is go to the dungeon a few times to make sure things are still in position, how they should be . Anyway, Warg and Mou were doing a great job in managing the dungeon. The random monsters have also become more respectful and friendly.
One day, while I was busy with my phone I received a text message from an unknown number "hey abercrombie, remember me, chat me up on Super Ping '' the link to the messenger's profile was added. Super Ping is a newly developed website where superhumans can easily contact each other and be invited to hunting squads. I clicked on the link and viewed the profile picture of the person; it was Maxine do I sent her a message
"Hey girl, long time"
I waited some minutes ai I got a reply from her
"You remember the hunting squad I told you about?"
"Yeah, the one that didn't accept you"
"They are now in Egypt, they are in need of super humans and I volunteered, you wanna join, I already recommended you and they are interested in your abilities "
" If you are joining, then I am"
" Great, I'll add you to the group they created for conversation till we meet"
" Ok"
I received a message from one group called 'Dark Killers'
"Hey max, is this the guy you were talking about"
"Yeah, I'll tell him to introduce himself"
" Hi everyone, my name is Levin, a superhuman with fast growth and healing "
"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 b
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
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
I went out of the training room and I met Mou at door post"What are you finding here?""We heard some noise and from the training room, Warg told me you are in here and I was worried about you.
