Eve is a successful romance book author and forever singleton who doesn't believe that romance could exist in real life. But with her last novel flopping in the market, she felt like she put herself in a rut that she can't get herself out of. On the day that her publisher threatens to drop her as an author, she finds an ad online about a guy selling an entire romantic wedding package at half the price. The catch, buyers should be genuinely in love with each other. 
In Eve's head, it sounds like a good idea to trick the seller, a practical business journalist, into thinking that she has a boyfriend whom she loves very much. Her heart says otherwise.

"I have to get away from here!" Maya, Estella's personal maid immediately came with a big luggage carrying Estella's stuff. 

"We can use the secret escape route if you want, Your Highness." Estella nodded as she changed into a civilian outfit prepared by Maya to disguise herself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Find her and bring her back alive! Let she knows who is in charge." The finality in Adrian's tone brings a darkness that he will forever regret.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"I never seen you here before. I'm Luca." He approached Estella with a warm smile, something that she never experienced from her own husband.

"I'm Estella." She blushed and immediately looking away from him, wary that she may have reveal herself to this strange man.

"Your Ma- ah Estella, I see you have know Luca." Maya interrupted the awkward exchange between the pair. She smiles knowingly to them as she walked away unnoticed

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tell me Adrian. Have you ever, even once treats me like your own wife?!" The formality between the rulers of the kingdom is gone and the only thing left is a pained wife and a regretful husband.

"Forgive me."

"I would never." 

How Adrian wishes he could turn back time...

She cares for him but hates the way she does.  He is always on her mind since that day. But in contrast, he hated her for that. She wants to make it up to him but he avoids her like dirt. Sometimes he is good, sometimes he is the worsest. She hated how unpredictable he is and how he messes with her life. But she loves him, and she doesn't want to admit it.

That was in the last year of middle school.

Ria wakes up early on her first day of school in junior year. Bringing a nightmare with her she goes to her school and found out Keith and her will be classmates. New sets of problem arises then. But is this going to be a hell of a year for Ria? Or is this going to be a chance to get close with Keith and clear some issues?

Xia Chengfeng took a few restorative elixirs. Xiaozi flew to the [Beginner Beast God Totem] to recover her strength.

The battles that followed were much easier. Five Lv6 Taurens weren't even able to charge out of the tunnel before they'd been killed by Xia Chengfeng's long-range attacks.

Xia Chengfeng then decomposed the corpses of the ordinary Taurens.

System Notification: "Obtained [Blood Vapor Essence Lv6] x 10, [Soul Rock Fragment Lv6] x 10, [Tauren Skeleton Lv6] x 10, [Sturdy Bull Horn Lv6] x 10."

Next were the two [Violent Tauren Chieftains Lv7 (Elite)].

System Notification: "Decomposition success. Obtained [Blood Vapor Crystal Lv7] x 2, [Soul Rock Lv7] x 2, [Sturdy Tauren Skeleton Lv7] x 2, [Tauren Warrior Gloves Lv7 (Good)] x 1, [Tauren Warrior Leggings Lv7 (Good)] x 1."

Equipment carried by monsters would also appear in the list of items after they had been decomposed.

Other than the materials, Xia Chengfeng also gained two pieces of equipment.

[Tauren Warrior Gloves Lv7 (Good)]: Gloves made out of a sturdy beast hide. Carved with a small number of strength runes. Blessed by the beast god.

[Tauren Warrior Leggings Lv7 (Good)]: Leggings made out of the cartilage of a beast. Carved with a small number of defense runes and speed runes. Blessed by a beast god.

Lv7 pieces of equipment were a rarity on the trading channel. They would be bought instantly if he listed them for sale.

Xia Chengfeng chose to keep them for himself. However, he washed them before changing into them.

He dragged the corpse of the Tauren elder out of the poison and started to decompose it.

This time, the decomposition process was rather slow.

System Notification: "Your mental state is too weak. Decomposition failed."

"The decomposition failed?" This was the first time Xia Chengfeng had ever experienced this. Xia Chengfeng's talent [Evil Eye of Destruction] had remained consistent with his level. He had never failed a decomposition in the past.

"It looks like I have to think of ways to increase the star level of my magic soul."

Other than strengthening his talent ability, increasing the star level of his magic soul might also grant him new talent abilities.

Xia Chengfeng rested for a while and tried to decompose the Tauren elder's corpse again. He succeeded this time.

System Notification: "Decomposition success. Obtained [Blood Vapor Crystal Lv8] x 1, [Soul Rock Lv8] x 1, [Tauren Elder's Skeleton Lv8] x 1, [Tauren Elder's Ax Lv8 (Great)] x 1, [Runic Key] x 1, [Tauren Elder's Power Belt Lv8 (Great)] x 1."

Xia Chengfeng couldn't bear to turn the skeletons of elite or leader monsters to ash. A necromancer might be able to make a decent skeleton monster out of those.

He could also use them to make magic puppets.

[Tauren Elder's Ax Lv8 (Great)]: A giant ax made out of black steel. Carved with strength runes. A great weapon for berserkers.

[Tauren Elder's Power Belt Lv8 (Great)]: It is a belt of glory that only the most powerful Tauren warrior can obtain. Blessed by Beast God Minos, it can improve a user's strength immensely.

Xia Chengfeng hummed a small tune as he obtained two more powerful items.

"It's time to go look for treasure chests. Xiaozi, let's go!" Xia Chengfeng called for Xiaozi. She immediately flew to his side. She was more excited than Xia Chengfeng about searching for treasure. She instantly charged into the tunnel.

There were still ordinary Taurens injured by the traps in the tunnel. Xia Chengfeng dealt with them easily.

Xia Chengfeng noticed that the leader's cave had descended into chaos when he entered it.

Perhaps news of the Tauren elder's death had spread to the cave. The Taurens were attacking each other. Some of them were even trying to escape through other tunnels.

Xia Chengfeng spent a great deal of energy to kill off the rest of the Taurens.

Xia Chengfeng pursued them into the tunnel. The other end of the tunnel was a One Star goblin cave. The goblins in the cave had already been killed by the Taurens and their resources had all been looted. Xia Chengfeng chose to conquer the goblin cave after he'd finished off the Taurens.

Xia Chengfeng found the corpse of the [Tauren Shaman Lv7 (Elite)] after he'd decomposed a bunch of [Violent Taurens].

Fortunately, none of the Taurens had dared to touch the shaman's corpse out of  respect for the shaman.

System Notification: "Decomposition success. Obtained [Blood Vapor Crystal L7] x 1, [One Star Magic Soul Fragment] x 1, [Frail Tauren Skeleton Lv7] x 1, [Tauren Shaman's Wizard Technique Mask Lv7 (Good)] x 1, [Runic Key] x 1."

[One Star Magic Soul Fragment]: A one star magic soul fragment can be used to absorb or create magic elixirs, magic weapons, or magic puppets.

[Tauren Shaman's Wizard Technique Mask Lv7 (Good)]: A mask carved with mysterious runes. It can be used to strengthen mental energy and element perception ability.

Xia Chengfeng searched the shaman's room for a little while and found a few herbs. He also found a [Runic Treasure Chest].

He opened the chest with a key and saw that there were several items inside.

[Mental Attack Skill Book (Exceptional)]: Attack the enemy with mental energy. It can disrupt the thoughts of the enemy and cause temporary dizziness and mental damage.

[Beast God Blessing Skill Book (Exceptional)]: Blesses beastmen-type creatures to strengthen their regeneration rate, power, speed, and mental energy.

[Wizard Technique Serum Formula Lv7]: The wizard technique serum can temporarily boost the power of a user's mental energy.

[Medium Bag of Magic Crystal Coins]: Contains 1,102 magic crystal coins.

ROAR! Xia Chengfeng was just about to take the magic crystal coins when Xiaozi sniffed the ripples of energy coming from the coins. She pounced forward and bit on the bag of coins.

Xia Chengfeng was prepared for this.

"Xiaozi, look, what is this?" He took out a shiny glass bead. The bead refracted the light into a myriad of colors. This was a freebie he'd obtained when purchasing resources from the trading channel. It was an ordinary glass bead.

Xiaozi's large eyes were immediately attracted to the glass bead.

"Do you want it? You have to trade those coins with me. But you don't have enough magic crystal coins there. The magic crystal coins that we find later will also belong to me." Xia Chengfeng intentionally brought the bead to a place with the highest intensity of light. It made the bead look even more incandescent and eye-catching.

Xiaozi looked at the magic crystal coins, then glanced at the glass bead. She deliberated for a long while before nodding her head and handing the coins over to Xia Chengfeng. She then happily went to play with her glass bead.

After he tucked away the items, Xia Chengfeng continued to search the Tauren elder's living quarters for more spoils of war.

He first searched the sacrificial altar of the Tauren village and found two things:

The first was the [Beginner Beast God Totem]. Xia Chengfeng already had one of those and could sell this one.

The next was [Sacrificial Torch (Special Item)]. This was a sacrificial item used to burn soul rocks. It could stabilize a user's mental state and strengthen a user's control over elemental power when ignited.

This was also a good item. It could be used during his practice or when he was crafting magic elixirs, magic weapons, or alchemy puppets.

Xia Chengfeng entered the Tauren elder's living quarters after he was finished with the sacrificial altar and found the runic treasure chest hidden there.

This runic chest was much larger than all the others he had come across. It seemed to contain many items.

Xia Chengfeng took out a runic key. He opened the lid of the chest after the runes on the key and the chest disappeared, and he saw a large pile of items.


All of humanity had descended into a mysterious world filled with crypts.
Everyone started with a cave and a shovel. They had to dig for other caves in search of resources if they wanted to survive.
Xia Chengfeng, who had already mastered “Crypt World”, was elated. He selected the talent of a decomposer at the start of the game.
He then made use of divination techniques to preempt any danger.
“Divining the cave on top. A prophecy of misfortune. Undead creatures are howling in the cave!”
“Divine the cave on the left. A prophecy of luck. Sweet berries had become ripe!”
“Decomposed a defeated gnome skeleton and received Soul Crystal +1.”
“Decomposed ancient knight longsword and received mythril +10, strength rune +1.”
…
In this test of survival in a cruel alternate dimension, a decomposer was rising to the top in strong fashion!

The casting puppets stood in the back, all lined up in a row. They released an outpouring of spells that washed over the group of monster puppets, instantly tearing them to shreds.
As shattering sounds echoed, the sword puppets formed up and immediately turned into a storm of blades. Swordlight flickered, and they sliced through the monster puppets' bodies. 
The charging sword puppets simply couldn't be stopped by these Level 20 monster puppets.
On the first charge, over three hundred puppets were turned into a pile of scrap. At this rate, they would be able to destroy half of the puppet monsters if they just charged back and forth a few times.
The Grey Beastmen kept roaring angrily, but they couldn't do anything. If they eased their pressure towards the mage army, it wouldn't take long for those blazing Elementals to breach the gap. With the Grey Beastmen's delicate bodies, they simply wouldn't be able to withstand it for a long time, as their powerful casting abilities wouldn't make up for their vulnerability.
Their casting technique was different from humans, and it was also different from the Dark Elves' one-spell-per-magic-pattern casting. It was mostly similar to the Beastmen with Abyssal bloodline.
If they didn't cast spells to suppress the puppet army, more than half of the monster puppets would be destroyed in the next ten minutes, and at that point, they would have no way to escape.
The puppet army and the mage army kept pressuring them from both sides, turning out to be too much for the Grey Beastmen and their monster puppets to handle.
The Grey Beastmen angrily shouted as the large group of monster puppets started being pushed back, but they also understood that they couldn't win the battle and that retreat was their only option.
The large group of puppets started falling back, switching from full attack to full defense, reducing the speed at which the puppet army and the mage army were destroying them.
With some of the Beastmen directing them, the puppets were no longer brainlessly attacking. Instead, they were coordinating with each other, which made even their appearances and characteristics seem different. And after working together, their strong points were maximized, making it even harder for the sword puppets to pin them down.
Lin Yun calmly floated in the air, looking down. He hadn't made a move yet, and neither had Enderfa and Reina. But as he saw those Grey Beastmen about to retreat, Lin Yun glanced at Xiuban.
"Xiuban, go and destroy their formation. Then, grab some of them, but don't kill them."
Before he even finished his words, Xiuban had already rushed out like a cannonball, instantly disappearing. He charged towards the monster puppet army like a berserk T-rex and left a long cloud of smoke behind him. The earth was fiercely shaking under his feet, and each of his steps would loudly echo and leave large holes in his wake. It only took a few seconds before Xiuban reached the battlefield.
Xiuban swung Carnage and created a burst of air pressure, making the space feel as if it was distorting.
Loud cracking sounds echoed as the shockwave sent ten monster puppets flying before they turned into a bunch of components hurtling through the air.
And this wasn't over... Xiuban swung to another side in less than a second.
From a distance, Xiuban looked like a white wave rushing into the puppet army in a domineering way, as the puppets in his path kept turning into piles of components.
That body, which was even more terrifying than Dragons', made those inferior puppets unable to even get close. With Xiuban's terrifying physique, which allowed him to recover from being hit by a Heaven Tier Spell in just two days, even if he stood still, those level 30 puppets wouldn't be able to get through his thick skin.
These few monster puppets without any casting abilities were as harmless to Xiuban as a group of Pig Beastmen. Apart from having a large number, there was nothing special about them.
Xiuban swung Carnage and only took a handful of seconds to charge into the center of the monster puppet army, obliterating even the Level 30 puppets without giving them a chance to resist.
The Grey Beastmen continuously casting spells from the rear became alarmed as they saw Xiuban's shocking momentum, and all of them started fleeing before they even knew it.
What else could they do?
Many Level 30 monster puppets, as well as a Kodo-like puppet specialized in defense, were unexpectedly destroyed in one blow, and when the puppets attacked that Beastman, they weren't even able to scratch him.
If that terrifying Beastman arrived before them, these delicate Grey Beastmen would die tragically.
The Grey Beastmen that were riding on monster puppets drove their puppets away, but the puppet army and the mage army had already made their own preparations. They took advantage of Xiuban's disturbance to circumvent the monster puppet army and stop the path of those Grey Beastmen.
After ten seconds, Xiuban was like a sharp spear that pierced through the center of the monster puppet army, creating air pressure and lightning sparks with his attacks as he ruthlessly swung at the Grey Beastmen.
This created a sweeping shockwave that even distorted space, making the Grey Beastmen on the puppets sway and sending a few of them flying out.
Xiuban laughed as he rushed over and used Carnage to block spells before slapping the head of a Grey Beastman… only for a loud bang to echo as half of that Beastman's body was flattened.
Xiuban looked at his hand, and then at the corpse, before looking back at his hand, stunned.
"Damn, so weak! I only wanted to make him pass out, how can I tell Sir Merlin…"
After rolling his eyes, Xiuban promptly swung Carnage and fiercely hit the ground. The earth shook and deformed around him, and the shockwaves were transmitted underground, causing waves of earth to spread around. Dust rose up as the ground within a few dozen meters had turned into sand.
The Grey Beastmen that had fallen in that area ended up dizzied, even if they had their magic shields on. As for the one that had mistakenly been killed by Xiuban… Xiuban had dug out a hole in a very short time and immediately tossed him in there.
By the time the dust had cleared up, Xiuban was proudly smiling with a few Grey Beastmen tugged under his shoulder.
He only managed to catch a few Grey Beastmen, while the rest had already escaped under the protection of the monster puppets.
The puppet army and the mage army tightly chased from behind, and they could be seen going further and further away.
At this time, Lin Yun led the others over.
Xiuban threw these few Grey Beastmen on the ground before bitterly smiling.
"Sir Merlin, I only captured so few of them because you requested them alive, I wasn't slacking…"
Lin Yun ignored Xiuban and chanted a few runes, which entered the bodies of these Grey Beastmen. At that time, the magic patterns on their bodies dimmed and turned foggy.
This was temporarily sealing their casting abilities, and it wasn't something that would dissipate in a day.
"William, take these Grey Beastmen to the Radiant Fort and hand them over to Lord Shawn."
Two labor puppets came out and carried the Grey Beastmen into the fort.
Although the Grey Beastmen that came to attack were leading several thousand monster puppets, the strongest of these Beastmen was only at Level 35, and most of them were below Level 30. 
It wouldn't have been as troublesome if he wanted to eradicate them, since those puppets with no spell casting abilities were just like cannon fodder. Apart from having large numbers, they didn't have much going for them.
Xiuban alone wasn't something that those puppets could block, and while the Grey Beastmen did have formidable casting ability, when they were pinned down by the mage army and the puppet army, Xiuban alone was enough to kill them all. He could pinch three of these delicate Beastmen to death with two fingers, so if he burst out with all his power, he would have been able to kill them all within ten minutes.
But this wasn't Lin Yun's goal...
He wanted to capture those Grey Beastmen.
The foundation of that race was alchemy, especially puppeteering. This was the first thing they ever came into contact with.
Even the Grey Beastmen that specialized in battle would have a strong understanding of puppeteering. The worst one would still be better than the average human Apprentice Alchemist.
A large number of alchemists were currently needed in the Radiant Fort, especially those specialized in the puppeteering field. In the entire Raging Flame Plane, there was no group more suitable than the Grey Beastmen.
Or it might be better to say that in all of Noscent, there wasn't a race like the Grey Beastmen who were so closely involved with puppets.
Every single Grey Beastman was a talented valuable alchemist. How could Lin Yun kill these guys?
They would be delivered to the Radiant Fort after being captured, and with Lord Shawn there, how could these Beastmen refuse to cooperate?
This would be an insult to Lord Shawn's abilities.
Lin Yun followed behind the escaping Grey Beastmen, chasing them back to their fort.
From a distance, they could see two rivers flowing around the fort and converging together.
When he saw the fleeing Grey Beastmen entering the fort, Lin Yun became lost in thought.


The world that gave birth to the peak of magic civilization is about to be destroyed.
The last survivor returned countless years in the past, that time was the birth of the magic civilization, countless mages were fumbling their ways on that thorny path.
He, who came from the end of the era, was treading toward the Supreme Throne 

Currently, within the courtyard, Qi Su was waiting outside Yun Luofeng's door. A moment later, the door was pushed opened and a white-robed lady was reflected in his eyes.
Qi Su's eyes brightened but just as he wanted to speak, he suddenly noticed three ladies standing behind Yun Luofeng. They were expressionless, with lifeless eyes, similar to a humanoid puppet.
"Miss Yun, they are?…" Qi Su was taken aback as he looked at these three young ladies in astonishment, with shock apparent in his eyes.
When did these few people suddenly appear in Miss Yun's room? Why was I unaware?
Furthermore, all three of them radiated a powerful suppressive aura, causing him to tremble.
Deity level?
Qi Su trembled. If his guess wasn't wrong, their strength should be at the deity level.
"Let's go, aren't we meeting the Tianqi Kingdom's second prince? We'll set off right now." Yun Luofeng smiled and glanced at Qi Su as she slowly spoke.
"Meet the second prince? Then these three women…"
Qi Su did not understand what Yun Luofeng planned to do. In particular, she had him purchase a bunch of waste metal used to forge weapons a month ago. After he brought those back, she had been hiding in the room without coming out.
Now that she's appeared, there are three additional women with her?
"No…" Seemingly sensing something all of a sudden, Qi Su's eyes were filled with shock. "Miss Yun, they aren't breathing."
That's right, these three women weren't breathing! Regardless of humans or spirit beasts, as long as they were alive they had to breathe. There was only one situation where one didn't have to breathe...
Puppet?
"Have you guessed it?" Yun Luofeng smiled. "These three puppets are my masterpieces I created this month."
Initially, Yun Luofeng's strength was low and Yun Yi who she created was only in the sage-level cultivation realm. With her strength increasing, the puppets she produced were now at the deity-level realm. However...
"These three are my failed products and I intend to sell to the second prince."
Qi Su widened his eyes in shock. "You… Are you selling your failed products to the second prince? Won't he come after you later?"
Hearing his words, Yun Luofeng quirked her lips.
"Although they are failed products, their strength is in the deity-level realm. They are also different from humans, without any sense of pain and won't die, being able to fight continuously forever! In addition… they'll never betray you! Do you think that the second prince wouldn't like such a puppet?"
The reason why these puppets were a failure was that the materials she tasked Qi Su to find were missing something called cosmic iron! Cosmic iron was extremely hard to find and with Qi Su's abilities, he wouldn't be able to obtain it. As such, she did not put it on the list of materials.
Previously, when she constructed Yun Yi, it was the heart of waste metal that Jue Qian left in the illusionary realm that allowed Yun Yi to advance. However, Yun Yi swallowing thunder to advance was something she hadn't expected.
These three puppets would always be in the deity-level realm, not able to break through! Thus, Yun Luofeng had called them failed products.
"Miss Yun," Qi Su was silent for a moment and said, "Why don't you use these few puppets for yourself instead of giving them to the second prince? You cannot put a price on these items."
His words implied that she would take a loss selling these puppets.
Yun Luofeng quirked her brow. "Not only will I be selling to the second prince, I will also be selling puppets on the Continent. Do you think that if there are puppets for sale on the Continent, those huge factions would abandon the opportunity? Once they give up, it means losing to their rivals. Therefore, I believe those factions will definitely establish a puppet corps."


Yun Luofeng, the genius of Huaxia Medicial School, died from an accident, and her soul attached onto the useless Eldest Miss of the General Estate in Longxia Continent.
Not only was this trash ungifted in the literary arts and martial arts, but she was also big chested without a brain, arrogant, and self-willed. It was not enough for her to have a perfect fiancé like the Crown Prince. She actually forcibly snatched a pretty boy in public, leading to the Crown Prince to annul their engagement.
However, the waste could not withstand this shock, so she actually hung herself to end her life.
Opening her eyes again, she was no longer the previous useless eldest miss.
With a contract with the Medical God's Code, the possession of a spiritual plant space, and miraculous hands that can bring the dead back to life, her medical skills will stun the world! Extending from the royals and nobles on top to the merchants and old and influential families below, they will all compete to curry her favor. Even His Highness the Crown Prince, who previously broke the engagement, came knocking on the door with a desire to reconcile?
In regard to this, a certain mysterious man finally could not endure it anymore and proclaimed, “Whoever dares to come and harass my woman, let them come but never return!”

The Granary was, like the Blacksmith, dark. There were no torches inside, unlike the original design. In the original design, there were torches in area dungeons for trick purposes. After all, the grains in the Granary could be burnt with the fire. However, for guild areas, they could choose to put torches in the Granary or leave it as that. If they had torches, it would be good for their movement and lookouts, but if they didn't it would limit their vision. Gunners were usually not allowed to go into a Granary. After all, the Gunner's skills were all firepower.

Jaglash decided to stay outside and watch. Dye had told him that if he went inside, he might not be able to go outside until the whole instance was cleared. Jaglash was barely level 10, so he might not be able to do much in this Granary. Another advantage if they triggered the instance, it would be an entirely different space. If the soldiers went inside, they wouldn't see or hear anything. It was absolutely safe, unless Jaglash spilled things out and made the soldiers wait outside the Granary until they finished the instance.

That, my friend, would be betrayal.

Most of the monsters in granaries were puppets, the strongest being Diamond Puppets (as designed in her past world). Diamond Puppets were very strong, and only players past level 60 could slowly injure them. Not only that, Diamond Puppets had a long string of HP but wasn't a BOSS. The BOSS of a Granary Instance were Puppeteers. They were available not only in granaries but also several other dungeons, as long as there were materials to create puppets in bulk.

Most players would ask, what was the benefit of killing a Puppeteer? After all, a Puppeteer was nothing without his puppets (they could control players for a brief moment). However, there was a reason why Dye was sure people would craze over granaries. They didn't quite need to look for food in the game themselves, but, there was something about the Puppeteers that would make even the wealthiest person in game greed.

A 'Puppet Crafting' skill book!

Compared to the other skill books, the 'Puppet Crafting' skill was a hidden skill available after finding the skill book. One couldn't use the level 2 'Puppet Crafting' skill book unless one had used the level 1 'Puppet Crafting' skill book. The 'Puppet Crafting' skill was used to create puppets. When one had defeated the Diamond Puppet's Puppeteer, they would be able to get the highest, most advanced 'Puppet Crafting' skill book, thus enabling them to look for much better materials and craft better Puppets.

The puppets crafted by a player would always listen to the player and couldn't be controlled by any BOSSes, or Dye hoped so. If that was true, then she had indeed gotten a huge cheat this time.

Although level 1 'Puppet Crafting' could only enable a person to craft at most 50 Straw Puppets, the puppets were stronger and much more durable than a normal Straw Puppet. The Puppeteer could also refine their puppets, thus enabling the puppets to impove. Of course, Straw Puppets would always be Straw Puppets.

This was the real reason why Dye wanted to enter the Granary Instance!

At the end of the instance, they would encounter a small shop to exchange monster tokens in. These shops would only appear at the end of instances, dungeons, and raids. Monster tokens existed in various forms and a form's value was different from the other. A Straw Puppet's Straw Heart could be worth 10 Monster Points while a Diamond Puppet's Diamond Heart could be worth around 100 Monster Points. Nevertheless, she decided to see if there were any type of weapon suitable for Jaglash to handle. Although Jaglash had told her that he would be fine, Dye was not...comforted just yet.

In this granary, a mere small granary, there were only Straw Puppets. Each puppet had a glowing blue mark on their body, and that was where the Straw Heart was. If one hit a Straw Heart, then it was a definite critical hit even though the Player's Crit Rate was only 0.00000000-a lot of 0s later-00001%.

These locations were called 'Critical Area'. The Critical Area was available on all monsters, only, some powerful monsters had invisible Critical Area. A low rate monster such as Straw Puppets of course had visible Critical Areas. As Ynoir was an old Elven Ancestor, Dye felt that she shouldn't lecture him about this part, lest she looked as if she was boasting her knowledge. However, she just realized that...

Ynoir didn't attack the Straw Hearts. 

"Ynoir...you do know that you can attack the Straw Heart, don't you?" Dye asked, bewildered.

"The glowing blue thing is called Straw Heart?" on Ynoir's face was a look of pure astonishment.

...

"Ynoir, places like the Straw Hearts are Critical Areas. If you hit it, they might instantly die," Dye explained.

"O."

Liang Feifei, a fifteen years old young programmer, tried making her first game called The World of Hyouka. She somehow made some error in her coding judgement and got sucked into her own game.

Oh well, she could choose her own name and class...

'Hmm. I didn't know Lyhee had such talent.'

I was quite surprised, but it wasn't too bad.

Since she was being a bit silly in front of me and seemed different in front of others, I just gave her a look.

In my former life, I didn't let Lyhee have the authority to use points. I lost my dungeon too early, so I had no chance to check Lyhee's talent.

Now that I thought about it, it was a very good way to use a stick-and-carrot strategy.

Lyhee squeezed everyone like a devil, and right before they started to stand up, I stepped in and played the good cop. I helped them to have less than the minimum conditions to survive and they were crying to thank me.

If Lyhee did this a little longer, I was sure that she would be able to control this quite well.

I needed the workforce on the bottom of the system, so Lyhee needed to have more experience in managing them.

I spent a lot of points to summon them, so every drop of their blood and every part of their bodies were mine. 

Three meals a day, ten minutes of break, and six hours of sleep was the minimum requirement for their survival.

'This building looks like shit…but anyways, it is not for me.'

Awakened heroes wouldn't mind the look of it as long as the place could provide safety. They would run into this shit palace to get away from the monsters. 

The design of it didn't really matter.

"Ma…master what do you think? Isn't it beautiful?" Lyhee asked, blushing.

Lyhee and I left the third floor and came to the Dungeon Core. 

The Dungeon Core was shinier than usual, which made it clear that Lyhee was quite nervous.

I nodded lightly. "It was beautiful in different ways."

"Lyheehee," Lyhee laughed.

I was happy that she didn't ask me in what ways.

"Lyhee. You must follow my directions."

"Okay."

"You don't need to change your attitude. As you said, you need to make them work even harder. I will leave it under your management, 100%."

"Would that be ok?"

"I don't have much time to spend in my dungeon. I need to let someone manage my  dungeon during my absence, and you are the best one to take that job." I told her sincerely.

Lyhee looked at me with surprise. "Do…do you think I can manage such a huge task?"

"Lyhee. You will become busier. Want it or not, you will have a lot of things to do. I will let you manage important tasks more and more. If you show me your attitude without any confidence, that would be disappointing."

"No, Master! Lyhee will never let you down!"

Lyhee shook her head and showed me her fist as if it was the symbol of her determination.

The things I would let her manage would just be some ecosystems of the dungeon or managing workers like Dwarfs, but I was glad that she was showing her motivation.

"I trust you."

"Lyhee~"

"But now, Lyhee, we need to start inside affair mode. I need to have more Orcs on the third floor and revamp the fifth floor, now."

"Ok, Master!"

Zing-

Dungeon Core started to show the hologram.

I had a look at the status of my dungeon and added 100 more Orcs on the third floor. I'd lost most of my Orcs during this fight, so I need them to repopulate themselves.

I started with 50 of them, and they became 200 in 9 months, but 90% of them died during the fight, so it was quite a damage for me.

Orcs' pregnancy periods were around three months, and they gave birth to five children on average. It only took six months for them to be fully grown. 

The normal cycle would be a year and a half, but the vibe of Mana from the Dungeon accelerated their growth. Thanks to that vibe, the number will recover in about four months.

'It is a bit of waste.'

One Orc costs 700pt. 

Goblins and Kobolds cost only 35pt, but Orcs were relatively expensive. 

'I need to set up everything until the fifth floor.'

I couldn't step in every time. 

If I missed one fight and let the awakened heroes pass the fourth floor, then there was nothing to stop the heroes until the top floor.

I needed my fifth floor to be a place of despair for the awakened heroes.

I pulled up the monsters for sale.



[Lowest Level Monsters]

Goblin 2Lv - 35pt

Kobold 2Lv - 35pt

Aisle Snake 1Lv -20pt

Carnivore Bat 1Lv - 20pt

Slime 3Lv - 200pt

Skeleton 4Lv - 500pt

Zombie 4Lv - 450pt

Mimic 5Lv - 1200pt

Knol 2Lv - 80pt

Crazy Hound 2Lv - 120pt

....



[Low-level Monsters]

Orc 2Lv - 700pt

Mud Golem 5Lv - 2,000pt

Puppet 2Lv - 900pt

Snowman 3Lv - 999pt

Giant Carnivore Flower 4Lv - 1,400pt

Slumber Moth 3Lv - 1,100pt

Gargoyle 5Lv - 1,900pt

Harpy 4Lv - 1,200pt

....



The list was very long, so multiple windows came up at once. 

The list was not really organized, so I had to spend a lot of time to sort them out and find the monster I needed.

Lv was showing the strength in numbers; five was the highest. For example, Knol was the lowest 2Lv while Orc was the low 2Lv.

Those were just general numbers. I couldn't rely on those numbers too much. It was just a reference to understand the levels.

"I should start with Mud Golems."

The fifth floor was where I wanted to make awakened heroes feel despair for the first time. I wasn't planning to increase the level a ridiculous amount, but awakened heroes who passed the fourth floor would know that they had to go back.

Or simply die there.

There were two entrances to get to the fifth floor. 

I bought 20 Mud Golems and put 10 of them on each entrance, with 30 Puppets next to them to support them.

Puppets were the tool of the Scavengers of Devildom. They used different kinds of metal, potion, magic, and voodoo to create Puppets that would only follow their master's order. 

Scavengers were all thumbs, so their Puppets were never strong, but they were better at battles compared to Orcs.

'Harpies would be nice for repopulation.'

I needed at least one species to repopulate on every floor. 

Goblins, Kobolds, and Orcs would increase their numbers endlessly without their nemesis, so I had to control the speed of their repopulation. Harpies repopulated slower than other monsters. 

To have enough of them while Mud Golems and Puppets were guarding the entrance, I needed at least 50 of them. 

I summoned 80 Harpies on the fifth floor. 

So, I used 260,000pt in total to take care of internal affairs. 

I had 910,000pt left.

I had to spend more points to buy and hide some treasures in my dungeon.

'I can recover this amount easily. There are so many awakened heroes that will run into my dungeon to find treasures.'

The majority of Korean awakened heroes didn't try to take too many risks. 

That was because of the website and guilds. Korea was also such a small country that they were good at managing risks quite well. 

It was different overseas. 

There were many awakened heroes who would enter Korea even if they had to illegally, just to find the treasures in my dungeon. They would help me recover my points.

"I'm done for now."

"Are you?"

"Yeah." When I nodded and ended inside affair mode, Lyhee was staring at me without moving. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Lyheehee. No reason."

She was just a strange fairy.

"I have to go now. I will let you handle the rest."

"I will not disappoint you!!" Lyhee answered with full motivation, but she looked disappointed soon enough.

The Dungeon Core was connected to the master, me. Lyhee was a fairy that was also connected to my Dungeon Core. 

Our souls were connected, so I was sure that she was a bit sad that I was leaving.

I'd never seen Lyhee like this, but she was a natural-born chatterbox. I was able to imagine that she was sad because she couldn't chat about things anymore.

"But…I think I would need a tool to communicate with you." I told Lyhee with a smile.

If I checked the shop, there would be some objects with communication magic that Lyhee could use.

"Oh! Then…then…would you mind if I mark magic on one of your body parts?"

"Can you…use magic?"

Even in my former life, I'd never heard of a fairy of the Dungeon Core that used magic of any kind. 

They were just supporters.

They didn't have a real physical presence, so they couldn't do anything physical. All they could do was manage the Dungeon and advise one or two things.

I was quite curious about what she could do.

Lyhee was touching her fingers and hesitated. "I can't use it many times, and I don't want to use it a lot. But Dungeon Master is lovely to me, so I would like to give you one."

"Sure. Where should I get it?"

"That is…"

"That is?"

"Lips…"

"Okay. Do it," I answered.

I kind of wanted to see the magic of the fairy as well.

Then Lyhee started to blush and moved her wings fast. "So… should I…?"

"Don't make me repeat myself. Do it."

"You need to close your eyes first."

"Is it necessary?"

What kind of magic requires closed eyes?

When I asked her, Lyhee answered with very determined eyes.

"That gives more power to the magic."

"That's strange."

Was it because it was the magic of the fairy?

Well, maybe it was the first time a fairy of the Dungeon Core was using magic. It was an acceptable request.

I closed my eyes.

Soon Lyhee flew to my face and stopped for a second and…

Chu!

She kissed my lips.

When I frowned and opened my eyes, there was a status window.



「Incredible achievement! You are the first one to be blessed by the fairy of the Dungeon Core.」

「Title 'The first one to be blessed by a fairy' is given.」



'This…'

A title!

The only title I'd received until now was 'Unbreakable Warrior'.

Now, I just got my second title.

I simply forgot about Lyhee's ridiculous act and opened my status window right away. 



Name: Randalf Bruciel

Occupation: Count of Devildom(Dungeon Master)

Title: 

* Unbreakable Warrior(Ex U, All Abilties+2) 

* The first one to be blessed by a fairy(U, Mana +6)

Abilities:

Power 79(+2), Intelligence 64(+2), Speed 74(+2), Strength 80(+2), Mana 82(+8), 

Potential(382+16/500) 

Others: The heart of Hell Lord has been planted. (Full power is not open yet)

Skill: Skill Combination(R), Mind's Eye(U)



[Comparison]

Power 79 Intelligence 65 Speed 75 Strength 82 Mana 84 Potential(375+10/500) 

Power 81 Intelligence 66 Speed 76 Strength 82 Mana 90 Potential(379+16/500) 



The level was great as well.

Unique. The one and only title!

It was a great name that increased my Mana by 6.

My pure Mana was 82, my title added another 8, and now my Mana was over 90.

When you passed over ability level 90, you stepped into the next level of abilities. Mana helped a lot, including the power of magic, authority over others, and more.

If I used my Mana, the majority of devils would feel threatened. They would be surprised. In my former life, I had low Intelligence, and Mana which was one of the biggest causes of my struggle, but now, my Mana was higher than any other abilities.

I had to stop myself from laughing and looked at Lyhee.

Lyhee covered her cheeks as if she was being shy.

She was looking at me to check if I was going to be angry at her.

She'd blessed me and given me a title as well. There was no reason to be angry at her.

"Thank you."

Something that didn't really come out from my mouth easily.

It was really awkward to say the words. 

I only had less than a handful of occasions where I was really grateful to someone.

Now was the time where I should show my gratitude. Although it was awkward as hell, I had to express myself.

Lyhee looked really happy and she smiled sincerely. "Lyheehee. You're welcome. Now Dungeon Master can talk to Lyhee anytime you want. And Lyhee can as well!"

"Don't talk to me unless it is necessary."

Faries were well-known chatterboxes.

If I let her talk to me any time, she would try to talk to me all the time; I needed to control her a bit.

"…Yes, Master."

"I need to go now. Take care of the dungeon while I'm gone."

"Don't worry. Take care, Dungeon Master." Lyhee bowed down.

I waved my hand once and left the top floor of my dungeon.

I have failed but I will try again!
There is no more failure in my second life!

The 72 dungeons that have appeared on earth and their owners.
As well as the awakened people.
I am the hunter that devours them all.
