Capítulo 12: 12

"I've been thinking…" Lilly says, raising her fork to take the last bite of the meal she was eating.

"About what?" I asked after she had finished swallowing the food she had taken a bite of, all the while tilting my head inquisitively.

"Hmm… how do I put this… My work needs me to travel around a lot and for that I need to have a lot of power to stay safe, and because of that I would either need you to stay here on your own," She pauses dramatically, as if to spring on the 'or' yet I do not give her the time to do that. Taking advantage of the situation she had created.

It was easy as I jumped into her lab, I let the tears fall down. Of course they were fake but she didn't know that. And oh did it work as I put on my most practiced act of feigning tears, my eyes watering as I look up to her.

"Don't leave me… please…" I say as pitifully as I could.

It elicited a cough from Lily as she blushed and looked away.

"You didn't let me finish," She murmurs and I barely hear her.

"Then does that mean you won't leave me?!" I ask excitedly.

And in response she smiles and looks down to me, picking me up in her arms with surprising ease. I mean I wasn't that big but still to be able to do that and make it seem like nothing.

I stared at her muscles and thought about how strong she had to be.

"Yep, all you have to do is become strong like me and to do that we are going to conquer a couple dungeons, enough for you to gather some levels."

I clap and give her my brightest smile, showing all the enthusiasm I could.

After all this smile I had. Ah- it was uniquely real. I knew that I gained XP from killing humans but from other dungeons, would I be able to get some from them?

It would be worth it to find out. As I knew that I could also get XP from powerful human's blood there was always that option.

But I would have to be discrete about it meaning that it wouldn't be as good as if I could just gain XP the normal way.

Lily put me down. Placing a set of clothes in front of me.

"I took the liberty to have a set of durable clothes, and a good knife made for you. While I don't know what weapon you like to use, I do have an assortment of others that you can test in the dungeon. It's quite low level so there should be no problem if you experiment while I look over you."

I look down at the set of clothes I was given and found nothing wrong with them. Well, I say nothing wrong in that they fit but there was one problem I had.

They were not traditional male clothes; they were clothes that accentuated my beauty. It made me look like even more of a trap then I was.

I pouted and looked up to Lily who only smiled and took a picture.

She laughed then put the phone down and handed me another pile of clothes, these ones actually more practical.

But still I looked like a trap just a bit more masculine.

I ignored the giggles and awestruck gaze that came from the other side of the room. Then with a flutter of my arm, I strapped the knife to my side. Forever cursed... huh-?

...

Fear and awe! Fear and awe~ yes, that was the look they should give me. For I am and forever will be the greatest specimen of human greatness that these lowly peasants would ever see.

The soldiers looked at me. Their faces were set into thin lines. Ah- Yes, it was just to hide the fear and awe. The fear and awe~

This! This is the beginning of my journey. Mother rented the whole dungeon, though she did grumble about some other lady. A flower name? Lily... Lilac? It didn't matter. Nope~ Twas I that is the best, not this harlot.

Unlike they- peasants that awakened. I was of noble blood. I am talented. I am a leader. All they must do is look upon my glorious back and let me pull them from the sludge they've unknowingly been pulling at.

My hand reached to my pocket where I had stashed something that no one had thought of. A byproduct of this amazing ability of mine. Mine was the ability to create and control metal. Yes, look in awe peasants.

Heh, most would think of this in a combat sense, and I would not begrudge those commoners but unlike them where those thoughts would have ended, I knew that I could go further.

In the higher levels, people were known to gain greater and greater control of their ability meaning that I could attain complete control of metal. But it was not only that, but it was the sub skills that I knew that someone as illustrious as me would gain. If I could gain subskills for other materials.

it would mean that I could precisely move all materials to my liking and with the right now how and a diligent brain which I had, then there would be no end to my reign.

I could create wonders of technology, things that scientists knew of but could not create because of how precise they needed to be.

I could create swords with a nano-edge, turrets and guns that were so precisely tuned as to create the most explosive impact with the littlest ammunition.

I could create anything. And it would only be a matter of time with a mind like mine. Yes, there would be nothing to stop me.

I nodded to myself, a peaceful smile on my face as I stepped into the dungeon.

A warning told me of something, but I ignored it, there was nothing to warn about as I knew of everything this dungeon could offer. There would be nothing to stop me.
