///POV ~ 3rd Person\\\
*BAAAM~ *
*PA~ *
*PA~ *
*BOOM!!!*
In an area surrounded by stones and trees, a group of people were fighting what looked like ogres.
The others were 10 feet tall and had bodies full of green muscle.
People didn't seem to be in good condition due to the recurring battle.
Anderson:"Damn it! If those bastards from the Sides didn't show up we wouldn't be like this..."
One of the men in the group cursed, due to the excess of anger and fatigue he was feeling at the time.
Rodrigo:"We can't do anything... If there weren't that kind of rule in Dungeons, none of this would have happened."
Alice:"The Awakened association always do things that profit them, this rule is also very beneficial to them..."
Anderson:"Ok~ we can't cry over spilled milk, let's finish these ogres and get out of this dungeon..."
///POV ~ 3rd Person - END\\\
«Today at 9 am there is a battle between the Winged Guild and the Canine Fang Guild... 3 people were killed and two wounded... It all started after a rare Monster appeared generating a conflict between the two parties... Neither side wanted to comment...»
«Now let's go with another news...»
I was sitting on the couch watching the newspaper while eating lunch.
"Damn... This is the tenth that's happened this week."
Rea:"I don't understand why they keep fighting each other, wouldn't it be great if everyone cooperated to solve the enemies?"
"That would be great but humans are selfish and greedy people. I'm not saying there aren't good people out there either. They're a minority..."
"The only fact why they don't work together is because they're all greedy."
"Let's say that a solution arises, in which all dungeons will disappear. But for that all awakened ones would have to give up their powers... Which do you think they would choose?"
The girls who were sitting around me were silent.
Darin:"Then all dungeons wouldn't disappear..."
"Yes, in addition to the factor called 'awakening' the dungeons are rich in ores and items outside the Common."
"For example to minerals called Mirithil, Orachilum and many others. There are also many materials derived from dead monsters."
"Translating... Dungeons are rich in knowledge and many other things. And even if the entire population wants them to end governments and the richest will do nothing to make that happen."
Girls:"...."
"It's cruel I know, but reality isn't for everyone."
"Well Look on the bright side, since the world turned upside down. Hearing just dungeon crash... It was something for you to wake up to the world."
Miyo:"Dungeon Overflow?"
"It's when the monsters that live inside a dungeon end up coming out of it..."
"As hilarious as this may be, this dungeon was located in South Korea... The country of dungeon manhwas..."
It seemed to be funny, it was anything but. I even saw some reports after the outbreak was brought under control.
I was there, shocked the rest of the world.
Since then, the governments and groups that control the dungeons, have practiced a cleansing act every month so that this doesn't happen again.
Finishing my meal, I wait on my stomach to digest, then move to the small gym.
Carla and two friends had already left, but to be on the safe side I resolved the portals inside the small gym.
And while society has evolved, we are still open to satellites.
"I'm really looking forward to this new dungeon..."
Although I didn't take any chances until I reached Dungeons level 10 and above.
I couldn't take the level monsters down lightly, even if their BP's way below mine, I would take some surprise attack... That would be the end of me.
Speaking of BP's, this led me to another question.
Why did the first two dungeons of both level 1 and 2 give me more points than usual?
I could say that with the wind at the levels, the less BP's I would gain... But that still wouldn't explain the fact that the bounty is generous in the first place.
I noticed that only BP's dropped, all other withdrawals tended to increase.
I had a thesis that levels 1 and 2 were assimilation dungeons...
These assimilation dungeons are dungeons for newly awakened ones. They have only one purpose, wanted to help those awakened to learn and control their abilities.
On the contrary they would also give abundant rewards.
That would explain the fact how easy they were.
Putting my thoughts aside, I prepare to create the Level 5 Dungeon.
"[Create Level 5 Dungeon]"
I close my eyes and open them after a while.
What comes to view is a forest, not very big.
The trees were the size of houses, not overly tall.
"Finally the Prairies are gone..."
I jump with happiness, after all it was getting cloying to stay in the same biome.
"Now... What kind of monster does this dungeon have?"
I look left and right and see nothing.
"Strange how-"
I stop talking, and twist my head to the right.
*VAPU~ *
A leftover passed where my head was seconds ago...
"What the hell- "
Moving again I rotate my body, leaning back.
*VAPU~ *
*VAPU~ *
*VAPU~ *
Three more shadows passed where my chest was previously.
"What the fuck, the matrix creator is going to sue me..."
Not wanting to be more passive, I bend over and jump in the direction the first shadow went.
"Shit was that a rock?"
Looking at the spot where the shadow had supposedly fallen, I see a flat, smooth stone.
"Only two things that can grab rocks and throw them like that."
One of them and a goblin, but this monster didn't follow the standards until now...
So the only one left was... 'Monkeys'.
To prove my thesis I waited for the next attack.
And when it came, I dodged it with the use of Danger Sensor and Agile Movements.
"I found you..."
With one more jump I launched myself at the attacker.
Taking an ordinary sword out of my inventory, I slash at my hidden attacker.
"Die!!"
*SLASH~ *
I cut the tree along with my attacker in half.
"Dear my strength and good..."
I was used to only cutting monsters and I had never cut anything like this before.
[System: You defeated an Oak Monkey! + 2BP + 2WP + 2OD.]
[System: You earned 750 Reais.]
[System: You gained 2 healing potion (low)]
System: You gained 2 mana potion (low)]
[System: You've earned the Monkey Oak Eyes.]
"Yuck! Why a monkey eye?"
That was the disgusting loot I received.
But even so I didn't throw it away, after all it must have served for something besides being disgusting.
Well, I'll have some fun here...
