My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

The orb continued to pulsate in the air, but the pulsing seemed to grow faster and faster.

“What now?” I asked.

Did we need to destroy the orb? That had to be the lore, right? I didn’t have long to think about it though.

A second later, the orb shattered, and then the pieces flew at me. I gave out a cry as I backed up, but the pieces kept coming. They slammed into my leg. I let out a scream as a burning sensation crept through my leg. At the same time, text flew in my vision.

{Congratulations, you have completed Mina’s Dungeon.}

{You have unlocked the job: True Dungeon Diver.}

{You have unlocked the Dungeon Point System.}

{For completing the lore, you have gained 5 dungeon points.}

{Mina’s lore is now a part of you. You have gained Mina’s Blessing.}

{You have an increased affinity with slaves. Slaves will earn experience twice as fast.}

{Your affinity to slaves is maxed. You have unlocked the job: Slave Master.}

“Master! Master…” Lydia was cradling my head while the pain subsided.

I reached down and pulled up my pant leg to see what was there. “A tattoo?”

It looked like text, except it took on a strange shape, and wrapped around my leg like a snake.

“What’s that, Master?” Lydia asked worriedly, wiping tears from her eyes.

“The lore becomes a part of you. I think they meant that literally,” I said, frowning at my new tattoo.

When someone destroyed the lore, someone defeated the dungeon. There wasn’t much to it. However, if you completed the lore, then that lore became a part of you. The curse that infected the dungeon was turned into a blessing that targets you. In my case, Mina’s blessing increased my affinity to slaves, allowing them to earn experience faster. Furthermore, it allowed me to unlock the slave master job. As for Lydia, she didn’t gain anything. Was it because she was a slave, or because I was a hero?

Out of curiosity, I quickly equipped the new job slave master. My first skill was Take Slave. If I had to guess, it was an ability that allowed me to transfer a slave from someone else to me. Could this be done forcefully? I wanted to try it, but I was worried that it would cause some troubles once we got out of the dungeon. On that note, we were still in the dungeon’s boss room. Looking around, I noticed a door behind the throne.

After getting back on my feet, I led the way into the final chamber. It was a bedroom which contained a few dressers, a desk, and a bed. Glancing around, I noticed a small box on the desk. Opening it, I found that there were several small trinkets in it. One of them looked to be a magical storage ring, although there was nothing inside it. I couldn’t guess what anything else was. There was also a magic rune on the ground which had to open the portal. I was very confident that this one would lead us back outside. There was a crystal ball that I couldn’t move, and other than that, this was the extent of the last room of the dungeon.

“What is the Dungeon Point System?” I asked.

The tattoo on my leg suddenly glowed, and a giant list appeared in front of me. It was a skill list complete with prices. My mouth fell open as I glanced at it.

The skills read things like

2X experience – 1 dungeon point.

Sword of healing – 1 dungeon point.

Revival – 10 dungeon points.

2nd Job – 1 dungeon point.

There were items and skills of all types. For some items, there seemed to be tiers that grew exponentially expensive. For example, 2X experience also had 5X and 10X next to it, but they require five and ten dungeon points respectively. Furthermore, they were greyed out, and I got the impression I’d need to have 2X selected. That meant, 10X wouldn’t cost 10, it’d cost 16 dungeon points.

However, all selections seemed to be on this list from 1, 5, 10, 25, or 50. The 50 skills sounded scary. Immortality. Temporary Invincibility. Omega. Create Life. If someone just defeated 10 dungeons, they could become immortal. No… you had to complete the lore, not destroy it. That was much tougher, and no one had done that in a long time. In fact, I had a distinct feeling that the Dungeon Point System only unlocked for True Dungeon divers. That meant no one had even had access to this system, even if they had points.

With this system, someone could truly become overpowered. This was the way to become a true hero. Before I could consider the system much longer, there was a strange cough behind me. I closed the menu and turned around. My jaw hit the floor.

Lydia was standing there, but she had taken off her clothes. She now stood naked in the room, her hands covering herself shyly as her face flushed.

“Once we leave this dungeon… things may change.” She spoke quietly with her head lowered. “Will you… do it with me? Just once, before we have to face that world again?”

I could only gulp.
