The orb continued to pulsate in the air, but the pulsing seemed to grow faster and faster.
“What now?” I asked.
Did we need to destroy the orb? That had to be the lore, right? I didn't have long to think about it though.
A second later, the orb shattered, and then the pieces flew at me. I gave out a cry as I backed up, but the pieces kept coming. They slammed into my leg. I let out a scream as a burning sensation crept through my leg. At the same time, text flew in my vision.
{Congratulations, you have completed Mina’s Dungeon.}
{You have unlocked the job: True Dungeon Diver.}
{You have unlocked the Dungeon Point System.}
{For completing the lore, you have gained 5 dungeon points.}
{Mina’s lore is now a part of you. You have gained Mina’s Blessing.}
{You have an increased affinity with slaves. Slaves will earn experience twice as fast.}
{Your affinity to slaves is maxed. You have unlocked the job: Slave Master.}
“Master! Master…” Lydia was cradling my head while the pain subsided.
I reached down and pulled up my pant leg to see what was there. “A tattoo?”
It looked like text, except it took on a strange shape, and wrapped around my leg like a snake.
“What’s that, Master?” Lydia asked worriedly, wiping tears from her eyes.
“The lore becomes a part of you. I think they meant that literally,” I said, frowning at my new tattoo.
When someone destroyed the lore, someone defeated the dungeon. There wasn’t much to it. However, if you completed the lore, then that lore became a part of you. The curse that infected the dungeon was turned into a blessing that targets you. In my case, Mina’s blessing increased my affinity to slaves, allowing them to earn experience faster. Furthermore, it allowed me to unlock the slave master job. As for Lydia, she didn't gain anything. Was it because she was a slave, or because I was a hero?
Out of curiosity, I quickly equipped the new job slave master. My first skill was Take Slave. If I had to guess, it was an ability that allowed me to transfer a slave from someone else to me. Could this be done forcefully? I wanted to try it, but I was worried that it would cause some troubles once we got out of the dungeon. On that note, we were still in the dungeon’s boss room. Looking around, I noticed a door behind the throne.
After getting back on my feet, I led the way into the final chamber. It was a bedroom which contained a few dressers, a desk, and a bed. Glancing around, I noticed a small box on the desk. Opening it, I found that there were several small trinkets in it. One of them looked to be a magical storage ring, although there was nothing inside it. I couldn’t guess what anything else was. There was also a magic rune on the ground which had to open the portal. I was very confident that this one would lead us back outside. There was a crystal ball that I couldn’t move, and other than that, this was the extent of the last room of the dungeon.
“What is the Dungeon Point System?” I asked.
The tattoo on my leg suddenly glowed, and a giant list appeared in front of me. It was a skill list complete with prices. My mouth fell open as I glanced at it.
The skills read things like
2X experience – 1 dungeon point.
Sword of healing – 1 dungeon point.
Revival – 10 dungeon points.
2nd Job – 1 dungeon point.
There were items and skills of all types. For some items, there seemed to be tiers that grew exponentially expensive. For example, 2X experience also had 5X and 10X next to it, but they require five and ten dungeon points respectively. Furthermore, they were greyed out, and I got the impression I’d need to have 2X selected. That meant, 10X wouldn’t cost 10, it’d cost 16 dungeon points.
However, all selections seemed to be on this list from 1, 5, 10, 25, or 50. The 50 skills sounded scary. Immortality. Temporary Invincibility. Omega. Create Life. If someone just defeated 10 dungeons, they could become immortal. No… you had to complete the lore, not destroy it. That was much tougher, and no one had done that in a long time. In fact, I had a distinct feeling that the Dungeon Point System only unlocked for True Dungeon divers. That meant no one had even had access to this system, even if they had points.
With this system, someone could truly become overpowered. This was the way to become a true hero. Before I could consider the system much longer, there was a strange cough behind me. I closed the menu and turned around. My jaw hit the floor.
Lydia was standing there, but she had taken off her clothes. She now stood naked in the room, her hands covering herself shyly as her face flushed.
“Once we leave this dungeon… things may change.” She spoke quietly with her head lowered. “Will you… do it with me? Just once, before we have to face that world again?”
I could only gulp.
Time to 'take' the slave before the 'take slave'.
Excellent word play
Now thats bad, making me wait for the next chapter... ahh, thanks for the chapter...
BwAAAAAAAAAAAA ! *surprised cry* Damn that is interesting. Also interesting this new dungeon system, i would surely buy 2nd job and the sword for FL.
I would buy 2nd job and x2 EXP
@GhostKiller I think x2 exp can be bought too but can be reserved for next time if he can't because it's safer if FL gets a OP sword. Sure getting new skills could be nice if it's not sure unlike this sword that can be highly probably good.
OH CRAP ! SWORD OF HEALING IT SAID ! What if it's just a sword that heal when it hit ? Isn't it kinda not that good when you think MC is maining a healer class ? Could be only be useful when he is busy or to save mana or quicker heal.
@Tsuru Well it's a Sword of Healing, so unless you want Lydia to heal her opponents then I don't recommend her to use it lol.
It would be good for the MC if it does actually heal when it hits a target since it helps him save Mana, and it may be useful against undead as well, but he may never get into a situation where he needs it so it's a waste of points to buy it now. If he does need it in the future then he can just buy it then. However the x2 exp is always useful. He could even get extra experience for beating up the Noble (or killing him)
@GhostKiller I'm assuming 2nd job also has a 3rd job for 2 points. Either get that or x2 exp for both and 2nd job for both. Maybe exp is only for him, it'd be interesting if it stacked with the slave boost though.
@DaoistNinefaps I think it's only for him, but the Slave Master and the Hero job both give a boost to Lydia so she should be getting as much or even more EXP than him, even if he's using the x2 exp boost.
@GhostKiller @Tsuru Makes Me remember The 'Mace of Healing'(damage=healing) used by Ogre-Rou ... Wack injured ally(still alive) hard enough to crush a mountain, with a mace of healing! The splattered corpse resurrects instantly, screaming having felt the pain!
@SnafuSam sauce?
@Aisir re:monster, sci-fi reincarnated as a goblin+evolution. the mace of healing is an item from one of his followers ch.300+?
@SnafuSam thanks
@Tsuru Sword of healing might be a sword with boost to healing skills, though considering when you did the comment, you might already know what the sword does.
