Finally… Finally, the day is here.

[Estimated time until completion… 00:02:05]

It's been a long wait, but now, I can finally level up and get stronger to ensure that I don't get killed in the near future. I was pissed, and still am, but that damn debuff gave me a valuable lesson.

Don't only rely on yourself. Use everything you can to ensure your survival, and that includes the Dungeon I neglected early on. Ever since that fucking demon used that… Orb of Transference, or whatever its name was, was the moment I truly focused on building my Dungeon from the ground up.

And these are the fruits of my labor…

Total DP Earned: 7,195

Now, add that to my current DP…

DP: 8770

And now I have a DP amount that is nearing the five-digit number. Sadly, all of those DP were put to use in managing my Dungeon by creating more habitable houses in the Human area for the non-monster residents, as well as placing a bunch of traps on the second floor, just a few meters shy of the staircase connecting the first and second floor.

My goal is to create a town on the first floor, but no way in hell am I letting them come any closer to my Dungeon Core Room. Only those allowed would be monsters spawned by the Dungeon, or me and Domino.

And because of that goal, I had to remove the poison swamp area and turn it into a Forest area, and merge it with the already giant size of the main Forest area. Needless to say, it was big enough to create a small village, but that wasn't enough yet, so I had to buy more rooms.

Fun fact: Rooms get more expensive the moment certain milestones are reached. I found out about this the moment I bought the 16th room. Instead of using 250 DP, the normal price for a room and the Forest biome, I used 500 DP.

It also left me with this amount of DP…

DP: 1620

Which put a damper on me buying rooms to accommodate the town I was planning to build, as well as the free workforce I could put in there. Just think about it. Gorillas all lugging around the heavy materials required to build houses, while the goblins put their backbone by hammering the materials in place, while the hairy giants, as well as bipedal pigs, held the materials in place, so no accidents occurred.

Now, if that wasn't enough, the new faces I had… hired… turned out to be of great help. With Krag's knowledge of building solid foundations from the jobs and quests he partook in as a Hunter, as well as Anduin's and Merethyl's magic of manipulating nature, however weak it may be, building sturdy houses wasn't a pipe dream anymore, even if the builders were monsters with below average intelligence.

Also, some news to discover. Mariona woke up a few days ago, and she wasn't happy with her current state. Having a dismembered limb would do that to anyone, but it didn't take too long for her to get over it, what with her precious… and loving sister…

'Why are they in love with each other anyway…?'

I shook my head. Where was I…? Ah right, with Merethyl discussing with her sister about the deal she made with me, and with me present during that discussion, Mariona just sat back, and rested from all the crap she had experienced in the past week, although she doesn't like being a hindrance to her sister, who keeps working her best to return her limb. That, and not having sexy times with her sister…

'I need some bleach… It's one thing to happen in fiction, it's another to happen in real life…'

The next issue was with the Shaiydons, and boy howdy, was that a can of worms I was not willing to touch with a 12-foot pole. To summarize, it went like this…

Lord Bentley got angry 'cause of political reasons…

Luke slapped Lord Bentley with facts, logic, and rational reasoning…

His children and wife gave him puppy eyes…

Lord Bentley admitted defeat…

That's the gist of it. The specific questions, however, I will not answer. Just thinking about that family drama gave me a headache, and Domino wasn't too keen on the family interrupting her time with me.

The demi-human group, however, were taking their work like fish to water. In fact, I think they're actually finding working in my Dungeon great. Let me recall the words they said to me about their employment…

"The food here is great! We have free housing with privacy, no idiotic asshole comments about our race… Sure, it might get a bit lonely, what with only a few of us demi-humans being here, but I'd like to live here rather than out there any day of the week."

What is wrong with employment outside of my Dungeon…? Then I realized the reason why, which made me facepalm due to how stupid my thoughts were.historical

'Of course, racism…'

A common issue that could be found in possibly every world.

And the last group that took most of my attention this week… The duo of father and daughter. The Hunter's Association Branch manager, as well as his secretary…

Truth be told, I was a bit nervous around him. He's as tall as me when I'm standing, and he has muscles similar to mine. If that wasn't enough, his presence screamed danger, so I was sure if he ever turned hostile, it would be a nightmare for me and my Dungeon.

But mostly, he played nice, and in turn, so did I. He also pulled his own weight, helping in the efforts to build the town, which was a deal I made with him.

I haven't gotten a glimpse of his strength yet, so I will remain cautious when around him.
