Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

[Day 150]

It has been some time since the first day we went into the Rank 3 Dungeon, and it has been around a week since Benladann, and I became the Dungeon's Masters.

We still pretended to go there as normal citizens would enter there, and each time, for some fucking reason, there was always some different Elder of the Sect waiting for us to annoy us.

I know their deal, I've read a few Xianxia novels to know where this is going, they want to blackmail and force me to do a bunch of retarded stuff, or something strange, I don't know what these are idiots wanted anyways. I just intimidated them with Benladann until it worked.

I sometimes had to give them a taste of my magic, or kick their butts a little bit… nothing too bad.

There was one day where a guy tried to actually fight me. He had powerful earth magic and he was able to materialize weapons out of the ore he manipulated with his magic. He wasn't able to create ore though.

He was interesting and I would have loved to eat that mana core and see if I could get that power, but I just gave him a gentle pat in the shoulders, which also broke them, and left him in the ground half-dead.

Benladann inserted a mold parasite inside of her and she used it to control him and not let him say anything against us.

She hasn't done much with him ever since then, and it is better to not do anything rash or they might suspect something happened to the guy.

Anyways, it has been a week now, so there is a lot of gains. We had accumulated a large stockpile of high-quality rank 2 and 3 monster meat, some materials, and even Mana Cores.

The Rank 3 equipment that the dungeon drop is pretty okay, but nothing too crazy. I had devoured a lot of them and got some armor and weapon skills, but after a while, I stopped getting any skills from equipment, maybe I need higher quality equipment now.

Nonetheless, my equipment is virtually better, and I often use the other equipment I don't sell or give away as the "50%" to make my own equipment. I use Crafting and Alchemy, alongside Synthesize to use them as materials to upgrade my own equipment. Therefore everyone is wearing such amazing equipment now that it is insane. And I think it is obvious each time they see my group walking through the streets, we all look fabulous in our armor and wielding our weapons…

Anyways, the skills I got from eating armor and weapons were:}

[Blazing Blade of Slicing Fire]

[Earth-Shattering Hammer]

[Mother Earth's Shield of Protection]

[Armor of Freezing Winter]

[Greaves of Cloud Kicking]

[Wind-Riding Leather Pants]

[Wind Scimitar of Bloodshed]

[Spear of Oceanic Vortexes]

…

That's it, I am planning on fusing them all together into something pretty wacky one of these days, but for now, they'll be kept in the stash. I want to accumulate more Skills before any fusion.

Now, into the more important stuff, I acquired a lot of mana cores, so that means I have been making potions non-stop.

Of course, I should prioritize my own growth, right? Due to that, I already got a giant pile of Rank 3 Mana Cores waiting for me to eat them up.

However, I have been also separating Benladann's share and turning them into Cultivation Potions of Rank 3, she had been drinking them daily, and her cultivation already reached the same stage as me, Rank 3 Upper Stage.

My dear wife is pretty strong! However, I apologize, my love, but I am about to surpass you!

I shall eat this pile of Rank 3 Mana Cores!

However, before that, more explanations, and resumes.

There had been a high demand for Cultivation Potions since I distributed the first prototypes with everyone, they were very effective, so I continued to gather more "citizens" within my "kingdom" to make them into an alchemist, they were willing, so they were given alchemist bracelets and slowly learned Alchemy Magic and Synthesis naturally.

As the demand increase, so do the ones working for it, and more Cultivation Potions are made.

I am slowly building somewhat of a contribution system in my little sect here. We are not big enough to be a Kingdom, and we had been most like a big clan helping each other without asking much in exchange other than just everyone helping each other.

But now that I am introducing a contribution system rewarded with items, everyone had become more productive, and the high demand for cultivation potions is also making everyone work extra hard.

That's the spirit, everyone! And as everyone works hard, they get stronger too.

Many Rank 1 are already Rank 2 after drinking several Rank 1 Cultivation Potions in just a week… See how amazing they are? In no time they'll all get into Rank 3.

But for now, my main crew has already touched Rank 3 Initial Stage! Those include Frost, Yuki, Huginn and Muninn, and Draugann. Yeah, the old woman works super hard now for it, so she deserves it.

The rest are mostly Rank 2 between Middle Stage to Peak Stage. The closest to Rank 3 is Benladann's Parents, Pekora, Tisha, and some others. Oh right, the kids too, Flayr and Noirenn too, and the other kids with them, well, some.

Now, now, time to eat my own Mana Cores of Rank 3!

It was breakfast today, and I was eating breakfast with Benladann, her parents and some of the kids the got in here, alongside Yuki inside of our room. We had expanded it so it was now pretty big, big enough to have a large table where we all can sit.

"You're going to eat all of that?" asked Benladann.

"Yeah, your potions are being made as of now, so don't worry. After this, we can always infiltrate the dungeon and get you some more Rank 3 Mana Cores." I said.

"Alright… I am just concerned… You evolved just a week ago… You'll go sleep again?" she sighed.

"Oh, well, it is necessary…" I said.
