My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

As it turned out, there was an entire industry of magicians that could teleport people to other cities. Here I was, thinking I was special with my portal, and it turned out such things had been done before. It was starting to get late and we’d need to head to the banquet soon, but I made one more stop at the travel guild.

“May I help you?” A young man asked at the front.

“I wanted to inquire about your teleportation services.”

Naturally, anywhere I was teleported was now an area I could create a portal. I had tried to a portal to a place completed by my map, and that turned out to be insufficient to allow me to portal to it. I had to physically be there… or to be able to lock onto someone who was physically there. Of course, another option would be to lock on to someone and then have them head somewhere distant. However, they’d need to be someone I was familiar and friendly with because as soon as I opened a portal in front of them, they’d probably realize it. Thus, this teleportation had to be a way that I could expand my travel quickly without all of the mess.

I quickly learned that the teleportation system wasn’t perfect. First of all, it was rather expensive. It cost 10 gold coin per person per use. Secondly, there were distance restrictions. I couldn’t travel more than a few cities over. I’d then need to pay the price in that city and travel even farther. The Capital was the hub of Aberis, and there were only five locations set up for instant teleportation. Two of those locations were actually dungeons in Aberis.

This teleportation was also a spell that required an incantation drawn on the floor and reagents as well. Suffice it to say, there was only one man who had the ability to cast the spell, and he wasn’t available at the moment. He only made himself available for casting this spell once a day. Each rune had a day of the week where he cast it. If you were there, you could be transferred in a group along with anyone else. If you weren’t, you had to wait a week.

That was still fine with me. A teleportation spell to any city more distant than I traveled would save me tons of time. For ten gold, I could travel to the city of Ravenport, which happened to be on the ocean. I definitely wanted to go there. Perhaps it would be possible to take the girls to the beach. Maybe I should even buy a property in Ravenport.

The Great Dungeons were also interesting to me. They were completely unlike the small dungeons I had visited. They had been around for thousands of years and their bottoms were said to be incompletable. Not simply cities, but entire trade systems had been built around the dungeons. One of the great dungeons even had a bazaar inside it if you could reach a low enough level. They were on a completely different level than what I had experienced. I definitely wanted to go to them. That was where most Dungeon Diver’s worked.

“We need to get going, the banquet is starting,” I said to the girls.

All of this stuff would have to wait for another day. My time in the Capitol wouldn’t be short.
