Kapitel 12: Reward, Another Test, and Finally Clothes

After walking in the portal, a familiar flash of white envelops my vision. Only this time the white fails to clear from my vision this time. A gold glowing sphere suddenly appears in front of me in this white space and starts talking. 'This again' I thought annoyingly.

'Congratulations on being the first to complete my dungeon.' The voice sounded comically jovial and I can imagine someone throwing their hands up in celebration. 'This dungeon has finally been completed after' at this point the voice turns automatic' '48,869 solar rotations and 1,329 failures.' The voice goes back to its lively and jovial tone.

'I guess this entire thing is recorded and that was an automatic message' I thought

'I have been studying runes and dungeons for most of my life. I know this dungeon will most likely last a long time since only weak people can enter and the chances of dying are high. While journeying throughout the world, studying dungeons and practicing runes, I have come across a lot of useful information on many topics and this dungeon was the first test to inheriting that knowledge.'

The thought of that hard ass dungeon only being a test pissed me off. Even I, who can heal from most injuries (even if I get thirstier and hornier depending on the range of injury) almost died hundreds of times and even had to face gods and dragons(even if I knew they were weaker and more animalistic then they should be). I calmed myself realizing there was nothing I could do against a dead guy besides spit on his grave. 'Totally doing that' I think.

'The second and final trial and the one that will give you full access to my legacy and unlock the runes on the books in the library you will see in a moment. You only have basic access at the moment. Go journey into the world and find my runes to access the next part of the knowledge I'm giving you.' A picture of a rune of a vertical line with three horizontal lines at the top appeared in front of the sphere and disappeared a second later with the sphere.

The first thought after the sphere disappears is amusingly that two random men that gave me something in this world both claimed me as something. One as his daughter and one as his legacy. As the whiteness started to disappear and my vision returns, I can only think of how lucky I have been so far. And something tells me that these are the final handouts that I'll be receiving in this world.

As my vision cleared, hopefully for the last time, I found myself in the treeline surrounding a lake. Taking a look around and seeing this was the same lake as I was in what felt like so long ago was a huge relief to me. That is until I realize that the brightness level of everything around me signifies that I was in the sun.

I feel a tiny itch that I haven't noticed before everywhere my skin is touching the sun but while looking at my naked body, surprised to find it not burning or smoking. I expected that my resistance to the sun would go up when my resistance stat increased and I gained light and fire resistance but I didn't expect it to do this much. I didn't see any damage but seeing that I'm feeling itchy, even if it's a tiny amount that I barely notice, I must still be taking damage and healing from it.

I guess I will be in the sun, I will get hungrier faster than I would otherwise. After getting my constitution to where it is now, it takes three days of not eating anything to start noticing the effect but I idly wonder how long it'll take now.

I started walking towards the lake, hoping to finally clean myself of the dried blood and dirt. As I pass the treeline, a castle appears in the middle of the lake.

'Pretty sure that wasn't here before' I thought while taking the castle in. It seemed to be made out of some pure white stone with blue accents everywhere. I have never seen this type of design before but it looked incredibly beautiful to me. A bridge connected the shore of the lake to the castle and its pure white design, while still beautiful, was more basic compared to the rest of the castle but I liked the look of it.

I felt a connection to the castle and walked towards it. The glowing orb said there's a library, called me its legacy, and told me that I can unlock more books after journeying the world and learning, all implying that there is someplace for me to come back to and that holds the library.

And looks like the library comes with some extra stuff.

As I walk towards the giant blue front doors, with beautiful stained glass at the top, and try to open the doors. There is a moment where the door doesn't budge before a quick flash appears where my hand meets the door, and I push the doors open. They are heavy but my strength let me open them relatively easily.

The inside was beautiful and looked like whoever decorated this place had money to spend. I did a basic overview of the entire castle and could only be amazed that this place was all mine. The main room was what should be the sitting room right through the front door. This room had a lot of chairs and two spiraling stairs that led to a room right above an upper floor. Between the two staircases was a door that led to a closed off throne room. It was a huge room that could probably fit a hundred people. It had gold stairs leading to the gold throne that overlooked the entire room.

The upper door led to a living room that had doors to the left and right that led to hallways and entrances to other rooms of the house. Right through the living room was the door that had a hallway that only had 7 doors.

One was to the main bedroom and the others were also bedroom but smaller then the main. The main bedroom was much bigger than the other rooms and had its own personal library. The bed in their was absolutely stunning and made me want to sleep immediately. Even if I didn't need it.

The left and right hallways mostly led to guest rooms but the two main points of interest were the ones at the end of these two hallways. One was to have training rooms that were somewhere as big as the castle itself. The left was the room I found myself in now. The library.

The place was 3 stories, and had more than a 10000 books. Most of the books were covered in red bones that made them impossible to open without destroying them. I opened the first book and took my time reading and understanding everything I could. I could start my adventure on a good spot.

...…..

I wake up on the bed in the master bedroom. I struggle to pull myself out of the cloud like materials and start my big day.

I have been here for 93 days, reading and practicing everything in the many workshops in the basement of the castle. The only thing I have access to at the moment is basic runes, leather working, metalworking, cooking, dismantling, and basic knowledge about the monsters of this world. It took a bit of time to learn leather working and metalworking but it was well worth it.

Metalworking seems to not just be metal in this world but also things like hard scales and etc that are metal like. I was done learning everything but took awhile to learn metal working to a degree to melt down and make something from the golden dragons scales. But I finally succeeded today. I made jewelry for my hair, thigh, wrist, fingers, ears, and neck which all together seemed to increase my magic regeneration by a whole percent. (Jewelry she has on in the image chapter.)

I also used it to make golden high heels/sandals. I also used the leather from the dragon wings to make clothing. I admit the freeing feeling of walking around naked has made me pick less clothing then I would even think of wearing in the past.

I went without wearing a bra or panties, feeling incredibly restricted in them and rather let my breast bounce and vagina breath. I made a long M slit long skirt that only had hand cloth to cover my stomach, ass crack, and vagina. Half my ass cheeks were out of breath and almost all my thighs and legs were open to stare at. My top was a semi, long sleeve shirt that left a large window for my breast and left a little bit of my stomach out when combined with my long skirt. I dyed the entire thing black, not wanting my clothes to be golden. Gold looks better as an accent color to me.(Clothes that are worn in the picture in images.)

I walk out of the castle, walking past the treeline and continuing in a straight line. I know I'll reach civilization eventually if I keep walking ahead. I wonder what the people of this magical world are like.
