Dungeon Hunter Chapter 90:
Chapter 90-93: Achievements Store
Hashmal was worried . She was in the midst of confusion, anguish and speculation so her decision was postponed . A strange demon told her to destroy the other demons with him . All the demons, including the Grand Dukes had travelled here from the Demon World .
She thought it was a lie . She was a Dominions Angel . Any information about the Demon World would be quickly obtained by her . She needed to do her best to wipe out the Grand Dukes . But despite not understanding the details, she needed to figure out why the dungeons appeared .
‘First…I need to figure out this place . These dungeons are in a different dimension . I need to learn as much relevant information as possible . ’
Hashmal was aware of the seriousness of the situation . If the strange demon’s words were true then this wasn’t a simple task . It was unpleasant to be captured by an demon but she wasn’t treated like a hostage .
A strange demon . He was called Randalph Brigsiel . He gave her freedom . At the very least, she could roam freely inside the dungeon . She didn’t know if he was stupid, arrogant or had other intentions .
Hashmal actively explored inside the dungeon .
‘The dungeon looks like it has an ecosystem . ’
She worked up from the bottom of the dungeon .
The low grade creatures…an ecosystem was created for them . It was amazing .
The creatures with a predator relationship was figured out . The numbers were maintained at a constant level and the life cycle was very fast . There were even creatures that formed villages . She found a settlement near a lake where orcs could be seen moving back and forth .
The orc shamans served their gods and knew how to use advanced tools . Due to the nature of the dungeon, the various species knew how to use objects . They gathered things on their own to make improvements . Adults hunted while children learned their skills . The mothers remaining in the village to take care of their offspring while the priests made important decisions .
It wasn’t just the orcs . Even the mindless species showed differences in their actions .
‘An amazing scene . But this is a dungeon . The centre of darkness . ’
Of course, seeing civilization being created in a place like this was remarkable .
The dungeon was still a place filled with the powerful forces of darkness . The creatures were brought here by various black magic and would be lost to instinct . It is impossible to think of something constructive . But this dungeon was different .
There was a similar unpleasant magic power but it didn’t have a significant impact on the creatures . Rather, it seemed to be having a good impact on the development of the creatures .
Appropriate environment, rich food, balanced food chain between the creatures…a harmony was established .
She wondered if this could really be defined as a dungeon . It was more like an ecosystem .
Hashmal was confused .
‘A community of dwarves . Fierce creatures guarding intermediate areas . Even if what I’m seeing is a lie, they will become stronger over time . ’
This was the first time she had seen such an active dungeon . Usually many dungeons were lacking . They didn’t consider the conditions for making life in the first place . The beasts would fight hard to maintain their lives .
That wasn’t the case here . A driving force existed behind their growth . This would pile up over time into a power that couldn’t be ignored .
‘The demon Randalph really formed an ecosystem like this? A decent effort is required for harmony…it is hard for an existence like a demon . ’
It was strange no matter how she thought about it . She didn’t know if it was designed this way from the beginning but it hasn’t be a long time since the dungeon was formed . There were signs of a steady management .
Tremendous interest . It took all types of effort .
However, the demons weren’t a species famous for being attentive . Just like his words, he truly wasn’t a normal demon .
‘A strong aura can be felt as I near the top . One if the Dungeon Core and one…’
Hashmal moved . She didn’t miss anything around her as she climbed up the dungeon . Finally, she reached the 15th floor and witnessed an amazing sight .
“Tree of Origin…!”
She was astonished .
There was a Tree of Origin in heaven . It was called the ‘First and Last Tree’ and no one could manage it except for the Heavenly King . This one was smaller and weaker but the energy made it apparent that this was the Tree of Origin .
A grave was in the vicinity of the tree . There was the appearance of dug up soil and a wooden signpost saying ‘Angel-nim . ’
Someone suddenly blocked her path .
“Stop . My Dungeon Master has given my jurisdiction over the Tree of Origin . I will not allow access to the Tree of Origin . ”
A female dark elf, Chrisley .
Hashmal asked with trembling hands .
“Who…who buried the angel over there?”
“The fairy of the Dungeon Core buried him . ”
“Ahh! Can I see the fairy?”
“Right now she isn’t here . I will pass on a message . ”
Chrisley was puzzled . And Hashmal was strangely excited .
“All angels hope to be buried under the Tree of Origin . There might be a hostile relationship but…I would like to convey my gratitude . ”
It was like that?
Chrisley was convinced by her words . The grave would be a source of nutrients for the Tree of Origin . Chrisley had been worried about what to do with the bodies of the angels but Hashmal gave her the solution .
“I will tell her . And I will bury the rest of the angels here . ”
“I-Is it okay?”
“It isn’t something difficult . ”
Chrisley’s stiff expression loosened and she smiled . Chrisley knew what the Dungeon Master wanted from Hashmal . She could score some nutrients and points with Hashmal so it was killing two birds with one stone .
“Thank you . ”
Hashmal gave a large sigh of relief . Hashmal wasn’t casual about all the angels under her being killed .
“That gratitude should be directed to My Dungeon Master . ”
“That…let me think about it . ”
Her perception about demons wasn’t easily broken . But just saying she would think about it was coming a long way . She stared at the Tree of Origin for a long time .
‘I don’t see the spirit of the origin . ’
Was it still not mature?
She only knew about the Tree of Origin from the Heavenly King . After snapping out of it, Hashmal explored the rest of the dungeon .
There were empty floors but she once again stared with surprise at the high class griffin and Gigantes . Unfortunately, she wasn’t allowed near the Dungeon Core .
‘This is not the only dungeon . ’
Hashmal wished to leave the dungeon . She wanted to look at everything from a wider perspective . She didn’t expect anything but the demon Randalph surprisingly allowed her out of the dungeon . Krasla was the catch but she didn’t mind .
And…a week passed on earth . She rode the pyrocks and was covered by a stealth item so their speed was quite fast . Rather, it was a lot of time .
She recklessly entered the other dungeons . She might have lost her holy power but the other dungeons were in a terrible state . None of them had a proper ecosystem like Randalph’s dungeon . The demons didn’t care about the species and it was impossible for breeding to work properly in the poor environment . Only the deformed and strong creatures survived . She was also able to witness demons and creatures attacking humans . A very strong presence . It was estimated that she discovered one of the Grand Dukes .
‘This planet will be destroyed . ’
Her mouth was dry . Randalph’s words weren’t false . This was indeed an arena for a competition . The will to destroy could be felt .
‘I am alone . I lost my wings . Without being taken care of in heaven, my holy power won’t be restored . ’
Her fists squeezed together . Did she just have to wait and watch the destruction?
She couldn’t communicate with heaven and there was no telling when the dimensional gate would open again . Perhaps…there was a possibility that the dimensional gate would never appear again . Someone had intervened and changed the code of the dimensional gate .
-Never be corrupted by darkness . Your role is to cleanse the darkness and conceive the light .
Hashmal recalled the words she heard when she broke out of her egg . Heavenly King . She could never forget that warm voice and the information .
‘Please forgive my sins . ’
But her mission was to purify the darkness and bring ‘light’ to this dimension . The only way to regain strength was to contaminate the ‘outside . ’ If she could delay the destruction of the world until support from heaven arrived then it would be a success .
‘I am walking alone . A hunter that will catch all the demons…’
Hashmal made a decision after one week .
She would use him .
* * *
Corrupting an angel was simple .
The angels had to deny themselves and immerse themselves in the darkness . For example, breaking certain angel rules .
‘It is as I thought . ’
I looked firmly as Hashmal in front of me . Hashmal was slowly moving in front of me .
I seriously considered what was happening in front of me . She recognized I was ‘different’ from other demons . It was obvious she planned to keep the demons in check .
“In the future, my name will be Tashmal . ”
“You will discard the name you were given as an angel?”
“That’s right . ”
Hashmal had already made up her mind . She was changing so her attitude needed to be different or else she would suffer .
Anyway, one problem was solved . An angel that denied themselves would become lethargic .
‘Discipline is the easiest way to break this situation . And the strongest sin . ’
Mixing with demons . They would experience heavy punishment .
Personally, I had a lot of hope . Soon Hashmal would entirely ‘belong’ to me . Under the dungeon system, she would be ruled by me . Hashmal didn’t know it but she wouldn’t be able to harm me . She would be forced to follow any orders I gave .
‘Hashmal . You have picked the best and worst hand . ’
I said with a thin smile .
“Take it off . ”
* * *
-Impossible achievement!
The first angel has been corrupted . 2,500,000pt will be paid . |
-Impossible achievement!
The Dominions Angel ‘Hashmal’ will come under the jurisdiction of the demon ‘Randalph Brigsiel . ’ 3,000,000pt will be paid . |
-Your achievement score has surpassed 10,000 points .
2nd grade Easter Egg has opened! The ‘Achievements Store’ has opened . From now on, you can buy all types of precious things not available in the Store of All Things with achievement points . In addition, accomplishing certain achievements will add related species or goods to the store . |
Message windows continuously rose .
My eyes rested on Hashmal…no, Tashmal .
Tashmal was collapsed on a bed . Sweat was flowing down her white skin . She was covered with marks from our joining but my attention was grabbed by the black wings on her back . Tashmal had fainted from the process . It was the first time she felt such an intense shock . But the black wings were gradually increasing in size even when she was asleep . Instead of holy power, it was filled with yin magic power .
It was the first time I had seen a fallen angel being created . No one had ever seen it . There were some questions .
I quietly opened Mind’s Eye .
Name: Tashmal | |||
Occupation | Fallen Angel | Title | * Angel of Light Steeped in Darkness (Epic, Intelligence and Magic Power +6) |
Stats | |||
Strength | 68 | Intelligence | 87 (+6) |
Agility | 78 | Stamina | 69 |
Magic Power | 84 (+6) | ||
Potential: (386+12/471)
Uniqueness: An angel that spread light into the world has now become a fallen angel . The stats have been lowered in the aftermath of losing her wings but they will quickly recover . Skill: Propagation of Darkness (Epic), Barrage of Dark Spears (Epic), Dark Thunder (Epic) |
Indeed…the title and skill names had changed . I was glad the ratings were intact . The stats seemed somewhat low but it wasn’t a big problem .
Right now she was comparable to the griffin and Gigantes . She still had three epic grade skills that could be utilized . In the past, she was at a higher level but that would quickly recover . I was reassured after seeing the specifications .
‘Good . ’
I nodded .
5 . 5 million points and even a fallen angel . That alone would be called a sufficient gain . Combined with the points earned from hunting angels, I had gained more than 6 million points from this event .
Thanks to that, my points already went over 10 million . Considering that it hadn’t even been half a year…I had high expectations for the next Demon World Auction .
‘But…Achievements Store?’
After checking Hashmal’s status, I turned my eyes back to the message windows in the air .
Class 2 Easter Egg . My eyes stared at the words Achievements Store .
‘It relies on achievement points . ’
Something that I obtained every time I got an achievement . It could also be used in this way . In order to do so, I needed to know if 10,000 was high or low . I never experienced this in my previous life .
Just after I returned back in time, I obtained the Class 3 Easter Egg, ‘Heart of the Hell Monarch . ’ This time it was a Class 2 egg . I naturally smiled imagining it . There was a list of things that could be purchased from the Store of All Things . All types of precious things could be noted .
The Store of All Things sold many items but the efficiency wasn’t very good . For example, there were low grade creatures or skill books with bad options . A unique class skill book would require more than 1 million points so many couldn’t afford to purchase it . They would rather save the points for the Demon World Auction .
Now there was the Achievements Store . If the efficiency wasn’t good then I would be disappointed . I wouldn’t purchase any items that were only useful for mopping up the floor .
‘It will take her some time to wake up . ’
I glanced at Tashmal collapsed on the bed . There were no signs that she would move soon . I grabbed my clothes strewn on the ground and headed for the top floor of the dungeon .
Yihi was next to the Dungeon Core . She was sighing .
“Ahyu! The angel was no help . All he did was make Yihi bury him . ”
An angel appeared so she thought her wish had been granted . Instead, he only muttered strange words and died . Her heart ached .
“Ohh…I am having withdrawal symptoms from not seeing my bees . Yihi’s delight is gone . I will fall ill from these withdrawal symptoms . ”
Yihi leaned back and rubbed her cheeks against the Dungeon Core . In fact, Yihi thought of the bees as a favourite toy . She always took great care of them . Yihi’s limit was revealed . It had been 10 days and her hands were shaking like an addict .
“Yihihi…I yearn for the bees . Yihi will draw them…”
Yihi jumped up from her position . Her usual jewel like eyes had been replaced with those like a murderer’s . Yihi lowered her body and started to draw bees on the ground .
“Now the honey . Yihihi…”
But the picture . It wasn’t drawn very well! They didn’t move .
“Why aren’t you moving? Listen to Yihi’s words! I drew you so why aren’t you moving, why…yihing…”
“Stop playing around . ”
Sasasak!
Yihi quickly deleted the picture of the bees and laughed awkwardly .
“You came, Master?”
She transformed into a poised state .
I cleared up my expression and said .
“That was quite funny . Any more?”
“Ah, it’s nothing . Master . Yihi is faithfully obeying Master’s punishment . Yihi doesn’t know anything about bees . What is that?”
Yihi shook her head like a dog . She sucked her fingers innocently .
“I heard you made a grave near the Tree of Origin . ”
“That’s… Yihi thought the Tree of Origin-nim sent me the angel in response to my wish . But then he was defective so Yihi buried him . ”
Wish? Sent her? I was puzzled by her words but accepted them . I had experience with trying to understand Yihi’s words . I decided to compromise since it would benefit both of us .
“Very good . ”
“Huh?”
“I solved something easily thanks to that . ”
The angel buried at the Tree of Origin . Hashmal’s heart was swayed due to that . She even said ‘thank you . ’ Besides…an angel’s body was also beneficial to the Tree of Origin . Yihi didn’t know about the angels and buried one near the Tree of Origin . Help from a completely unexpected place . She had been deprived of rights and exiled but…she deserved some compensation for her ‘contribution . ’
“Yihihi . If Master is good then Yihi is good . ”
Yihi didn’t know what she was saying and laughed . Her wings restlessly flapped and rubbed her cheeks with both hands .
I looked at her and spoke .
“Your permissions are restored . I will also turn a blind eye to your garden . ”
Yihi instantly stopped all her actions .
“Yihi’s ears must have gone bad . ”
“No, you heard it properly . ”
Yihi’s eyes widened to a frightening extent after she heard my words .
“T-then Master . Now Yihi can annoy the bees?”
“You can freely act as you like . ”
“I can even walk with the king bees?”
“As long as it doesn’t affect the ecosystem . ”
“Can Yihi design buildings?”
“That’s not possible . ”
“…Yihihi!”
Yihi lay on the floor and stretched out her hands and feet . She slapped her cheeks until they were red .
‘That is enough . ’
Indifference . I had deprived her of all rights and even refused her hobby . That was like rat poison to a fairy . In particular, Yihi’s nature meant she wouldn’t hold out much longer .
But I hoped she realized something . If the same mistakes were repeated over and over again then Yihi would have no choice but to rule harshly . Rather than Yihi, I would drop a stronger punishment on the bees . The worker bees would be heavily punished .
I decided to wait for the excited Yihi to calm down .
…I didn’t expect she would be rolling around for 3 hours .
3 hours later .
I ignored Yihi behind me and used the Dungeon Core to open the Achievements Store .
-Welcome to the Achievements Store .
Current achievement points – 11,451 Achievement points can be used to purchase goods from the store . Item names marked with a + can only be purchased once . |
The window that popped up didn’t differ significantly from the Store of All Things . Only the names had changed . But the content was completely different .
My eyes moved down the lists .
[Equipment list]
Wild Bow (U) – 1,000 . Shadow Award (U) – 1,000 . Quick Shoes (Ex U) – 2,000 + Death Robe (Ex U, Set) – 2,000 Prominent Armour (Ex U) – 2,000 + Atasha’s Sword (Epic) – 3,000 + Contegonom’s Helmet (Epic, Set) – 3,000 …… . |

[Additional Achievement Related Items]
Angel Egg – 500 |
I could judge the list with one glance . It wasn’t a list of general items . The items that came up was enough to scare me .
The first equipment list . The default was unique items and it went up the way up to epic .
Besides, the ‘Death Robe’ was a set item with the ‘Death Wand’ that Chrisley had . Contegonom was King of the Yetis . Even his helmet was legendary . Atasha’s Sword was something I saw when the Class 3 Easter Egg opened…it had appeared again on this list .
‘Ha…’
But the thing that really surprised me was the creatures list .
Creatures that couldn’t be bought in the Store of All Things . The pyrocks were very difficult to grow . There were also several things that could never be seen at the Demon World Auction . But I focused on the bottom where the creatures had ‘names . ’
Great Orc Ram . Vampire from the Jin Clan Subira . Lich King Gospel…True Demonic Dragon Aojin .
‘Legendary, mythical creatures . ’
Names renowned a long time ago . No one could oppose them in those times . They had already died but they were included in the list .
This had to mean something .
‘It is really ridiculous . ’
That’s right .
Bringing back the dead . If some part of their bodies were salvaged then they could be revived .
The Mado Era .
A time when the dragon species was in full bloom . In that time, the demons couldn’t carelessly enter the Middle World . Many things happened and there were numerous geniuses killed in this time . Their records were left behind in the Demon World .
Great Orc Ram . A golden orc who managed to conquer half of the continent . His reigning period was short but he faced thousands of knights alone . A strong creature that would enter the top ranks of the high class creatures .
Subira from the Jin Vampire Clan…a creature active in the Middle World that created a kingdom of infected people . It required the Golden Knights who were guardians of the Virgin to stop him . There was a great battle in the Demon World that everyone knew about . The Demon World didn’t care about the presence of the Middle World .
‘I only heard the stories . ’
I didn’t fight all day long on the battlefield . Whenever there was a lull, I would linger near demons telling stories . Most of them spoke about fanciful things but they frequently mentioned Subira .
‘Lich King Gospel and True Demonic Dragon Aojin were also active in the Demon World . ’
Both were treated as existences equal to the devil .
Among them, Aojin was regarded as an ‘insurmountable wall . ’ A dragon was a high class 4Lv creature, a balrog a high class 5Lv creature and a true demonic dragon was the only 6Lv high class creature .
There was no stopping Aojin if he appeared on earth . The Grand Dukes who hadn’t recovered their power yet would have no chance . My victory would be confirmed but I needed 50,000 achievement points . That required quite a lot of achievements . I had dozens more achievements than I did in my previous life . Yet I only gathered a little over 10,000 points . 50,000 still far away .
‘I need to collect more achievement points . ’
But, I didn’t think it was impossible .
Now it was the 3rd year . 3 years had passed . I had already gathered 10,000 . It was likely I would find many more achievements . One day, I might be able to collect more than 50,000 achievement points . Right now it was just like a pie in the sky .
Next, I looked at the skills list .
‘There are a few here . ’
Just like the equipment, the minimum rating was unique . Furthermore, there were epic rated skills that the Store of All Things didn’t sell . Dark Meteor, Thousand Territory etc . , were all names I had heard of before .
But Dark Sword and Forest Shield were new .
‘Grand Duke Ariel used Abyss Sword . Is this an earlier skill compatible with it?’
I carefully read the description of the skill .
-Name – Dark Sword (Ex U)
Description: A technology that can be used to seen into the depths of the real abyss . The sword will use the ‘abyss’ to cause a cut in space . In addition, Dark Sword will absorb all light . * Wounds caused by Dark Sword are impossible to heal . There will be a strong backlash if it faces holy power . |
I nodded .
Ariel’s Abyss Sword was a skill that caused ‘chaos . ’ The information was also similar . Dark Sword had an Ex U rating so I wondered about the rating of Abyss Sword .
‘Lightning God alone is insufficient . ’
I touched my jaw .
Dark Sword might be one step lower than Abyss Sword but it was more appropriate for me to use . I only had Lightning God…and ‘Wrath’ wasn’t a skill that I could one hundred percent take advantage of . It would be enormous if I could use the synergy between Dark Sword and Wrath .
‘Divine Sword Unity . ’
My eyes turned to that skill .
I slowly read the description .
-Name – Divine Sword Unity (Ex U, Passive)
Description: The sword and body will breathe and act together . It is possible to master all things involving the sword, including the killing sword or the living sword . * Strength and agility will rise by 3 when using the sword . ** You can surrender to a sword with a strong ego . |
I had a thought after reading the description .
‘Greed . ’
I wanted Dark Sword and Divine Sword Unity . The remaining skills were too expensive or didn’t fit my taste .
Next I saw the [Additional Achievement Related Items] list .
‘Angel egg…!’
I had gained some impossible angel related achievements as well as an angel after corrupting an angel . The item was probably due to this . However, the name wasn’t unusual .
Angels were born from eggs . After laying the eggs, they were covered with angel wings for a certain period of time before the eggs break . The problem was that there were no angels to do that .
‘I don’t know if the wings of a fallen angel will be effective . ’
I needed to speak with Tashmal . It was unknown if normal angels could be born after being covered by a fallen angel’s wings . Instead of holy power, Tashmal’s wings were filled with yin magic power…there was the possibility of premature births of the fetus dying .
‘I have to try an experiment . ’
However, expectations were overflowing from my eyes .
I was satisfied with Tashmal but it was a completely different story if I could train a large number of angels . A demon with angels in my dungeon . Plus, the Tree of Origin could use the corpses of angels as nutrients . There was probably a connection between the two . I also might be able to achieve multiple achievements if I trained the angels . I was filled with anticipation .
Perhaps achievement points were even more urgently needed than general points .
‘I need to put off the purchase . ’
I had 11,451 achievement points . I had to use it as carefully as possible .
I bought one egg and waited for Tashmal .
Tashmal slept for half a day before waking up . She changed into a white dress that contrasted with the black wings .
The wings were the mark of a fallen angel and was already fully grown . Plus, the number of wings were identical to what she originally had . Six . That number represented a Dominions Angel but now it just showed the dignity of a fallen angel .
“This egg…!”
She immediately noticed the angel egg .
“Can you bear it?”
“Where the **** did you get this? It is forbidden to bring an angel’s egg out of heaven . Only advanced rank angels are given permission to enter…”
Her voice trembled . She was very upset . She didn’t know how I had obtained an angel egg but she had failed to properly understand the dungeon system .
“Some angels give birth to eggs . After they are born, the emotions of the child will be evaluated to determine the hierarchy…but, a fallen angel is not allowed to exist in heaven . Where did you take this from?”
A little animosity . But it didn’t lead to anything more than that .
I gazed at her and said .
“Don’t worry, I didn’t steal it . And I really hate to say something twice . Tashmal, can you bear it?”
“I-I can’t bear it . A fallen angel can’t give birth to a divine one . ”
I clicked my tongue .
“It is unfortunate . Dying before even being born . ”
“Without being born…?”
“There is no choice . If you neglect it then it won’t get any power . There is no choice but for it to die . ”
The angel egg required warmth . Without it, there would be no fetal movement . Neglecting the egg a few days would cause it to die . There would be a difference between an angel or creature taking care of it .
Tashmal’s expression became subtly determined .
I gave a small laugh .
“Don’t worry . It isn’t your fault that you fell . It is just bad luck . Hmm, let’s give it a try . If you are lucky then a child might be born . ”
“I won’t allow a holy angel egg be carried by a creature!”
Tashmal exclaimed and took the angel egg from my hand .
“I will bear it . I’ll take over for this child . ”
“Is it okay?”
“Even if I was corrupted…I was once an angel of light . It is okay if I try . ”
“This is a full time work . ”
I shrugged .
“Maybe I will add a few more angel eggs . Then please do so . ”
“You! Don’t tell me you have angels locked up…”
“Then Tashmal, can I really entrust the eggs to you?”
Eggs wouldn’t be born even if angels were forced to copulate together . I heard that some were forced to do such things . Many demons tried to do that with the angels they caught . Tashmal’s worries were groundless .
I quietly opened my magic power and offered advice .
“Tashmal . You are no longer an angel . Keep this in mind . ”
“……”
A complex expression formed on Tashmal’s face before she closed her mouth .
The dungeon’s nature had a profound impact on the growth of the creatures . I got it in an already overgrown state but the angel egg hatched exactly one week after I gave it to Tashmal . To my surprise…the angel was born safely . Two adorable wings made its appearance into the world .
At the same time, an expected achievement emerged .
-A remarkable achievement!
The first angel egg to be hatched in a dungeon . 500,000pt will be given . 1,000 achievement points will be added . |
Now it seemed like the achievement points will come up with the general points .
Anyway, it was an ordinary angel but very compliant . The potential could be compared to an intermediate 5Lv creature .
I increased the number once I was sure they could hatched properly . I bought an additional 10 angel eggs . Once they grew, it would be possible to breed them together and multiple the numbers for another achievement .
I used the rest of the points on Dark Sword and Divine Sword Unity . The remaining achievement points was 2,451 .
I confirmed my status window after learning the skills .

I had an extra stat point from hunting Saman . Combined with the +3 strength and agility from Divine Sword Unity…and there was also the electric power from the nuclear power plant . There were only a few changes but I was pleased with the status window .
‘Death Robe isn’t bad . ’
I was pursuing the Seven Sins but they weren’t on the list . It wasn’t bad to buy ‘Death Robe’ for a set effect with ‘Death Wand’ since it would strengthen Chrisley’s power .
‘Death Want has the Undead Manufacturing skill . The set would help with creating things like the spartoi . ’
My achievement points were almost empty after purchasing the Death Robe .
‘Now…’
I used my achievement points but I still had many general points left . A huge 12 million points!
There was still a lot of time until the next Demon World Auction . It would be foolish to leave it unused .
‘I should accomplish all the expected achievements . ’
I nodded .
Meanwhile…
Krasla was riding on the griffin in the sky with multiple shades .
‘Master gave me a command . I must follow through . ’
Krasla originally grew up as Chrisley’s guardian . He received a thorough training to help Chrisley . He acted as an older brother but she was more important than his own life . But Chrisley got a disease . She weakened every day and all types of precious medicine couldn’t save her . They decided to devote their souls if it would cure Chrisley and then the dark spirits came .
There was the slightest hope that an elixir could be obtained . They were sent to the auction…then purchased by an unusual demon called Randalph Brigsiel .
‘Master is different from ordinary demons . ’
Krasla was nervous at first . Demons were a selfish and exclusive species . It was unlikely they would offer an elixir . In particular, he was convinced it was the end once Chrisley’s identity was discovered . After Chrisley’s identity was discovered, he hoped to show off his skills and get an elixir as a reward .
Incredibly, the demon examined them just once and figured it out . The fact that they were hiding something . He felt despair when he failed and the punishment was supposed to be death . But his estimate was off the mark . The dark elves were made to act like dogs…there was no reason for it . He was skeptical but the demon had promised to heal Chrisley . But at that moment, Krasla just thought it was a relief that he was alive .
Yet the demon really fulfilled his promise to give an elixir . He also participated in a ceremony with Chrisley . A ceremony between a dark elf and demon . It was such an unprecedented situation that even Elder Julliom was dumbfounded .
Of course, there was a chance Chrisley would reject . However, she wisely accepted the ceremony . Thanks to that, Chrisley’s illness was healed and she took the spot of highest ranking dark elf . Confidence in the Dungeon Master grew and the dwarves also weren’t mistreated .
Furthermore, the Dungeon Master didn’t hesitate to give rewards for contribution . There were a few guaranteed basic freedoms . The names ‘Roy’ and ‘Rose’ were even given to newly born twins, showing off an intimacy . They weren’t seen as ‘slaves’ and Krasla inwardly swore to follow the Dungeon Master for the rest of his life…now there was also the Tree of Origin .
‘Although our species are different, he is someone that I, Krasla can believe in . ’
By default, Krasla had a knight’s temperament . He had defended Chrisley and ensured her safety . He also instinctively knew that he needed to protect the dungeon . If other demons invaded, he would die first before allowing the other dark elves to be touched .
“Everyone scatter . Saman’s dungeon is definitely somewhere in China . Find it as quickly as possible!”
Krasla stretched out his hand while riding the griffin and the shades spread out .
* * *
‘It looks good . ’
I thought while busy with changing the terrain of the dungeon in Domestic Mode .
Krasla, the griffin and a number of shades were scouting China . They were looking for the location of Saman’s dungeon .
‘Somewhere in China…’
I knew where the Dukes and Grand Dukes were located . However, the earls such as Saman hadn’t interested me . I just knew he was somewhere in China . When looking at the memories of my previous life, Saman had always appeared from the direction of China . Once the event triggered, Saman arrived quickly and I could infer that he came from a place close by .
Krasla needed to find Saman’s dungeon before the other demons learned of his death .
‘Terrain changes . The 26th floor should be a combined zone . ’
The 20th floor a sea terrain, 21st zone a thunder zone, 22nd floor a hurricane zone, 23rd floor a blizzard zone, 24th floor a death zone and the 25th floor was a sacred zone . Finally, the 26th floor combined thunder, hurricanes and blizzards, causing a message window to pop up .
-Huge accomplishment!
The terrain of more than 10 floors in a dungeon has been changed for the first time . 800,000pt will be given . 1,545 achievement points will be given . |
I had spent approximately 2 million points doing this .
‘I was able to specify a separate death zone and sacred zone . ’
Quite a lot of terrain had been changed . It was unexpected that I could add zones where undead and holy angels could grow normally . It wasn’t just the terrain but the magic power itself that changed .
In addition, the ‘holy power’ didn’t displace the magic power . A small amount of it was applied on the 25th floor . No, maybe magic power and holy power gained their energy from the same source . It was likely why 4 altars could be created .
Either way…the angels could use the holy power to grow bigger .
‘1,545 points . ’
It wasn’t a bad result .
Originally achievements were important . It was the only way to obtain a large amount of points or a title . But now the Achievements Store highlights its importance even more .
‘I need to add a few breeding species to the terrain . ’
It would be a waste to only change the terrain . Filling it with species affected by the terrain would give a lot of benefits . Increasing the reproductive rate of the creatures at an early stage would give an advantage . It was better to do it when I had so much points .
‘I don’t know when the invasion from heaven will resume…’
It was impossible to tell when the dimensional gate would open . If I lacked creatures then I could lose my dungeon this time as well . They would be the key at critical moments .
‘The 20th floor has a sea terrain so there should be sirens . I’d love to add the krakens but too many point would be poured into multiplying their numbers .
Sirens were intermediate 3Lv creatures . One cost 5,800pt so buying 30 for breeding purposes was possible . On the other hand, the kraken was an advanced 4Lv creature that cost 400,000pt . At least 12 million points would be required if I wanted a properly breeding cycle .
‘Thunder bats on the 21st floor . ’
Thunders bats were an intermediate 4Lv creature and one step higher than the sirens . An unusual bat that ate lightning and could use the powerful ‘Lightning Breath . ’
22nd floor’s wind zone . Wind riders would be enough . A small, intermediate 4Lv creature . Only the skulls were the size of adults . But they were close to invincible in storms .
The 23rd floor . It was a blizzard zone so this was a place for the yetis . Their speed was comparable to a saber tiger in the snow .
And the 24th floor…the ‘death mother’ was added to the death zone . 2 metres in size with a plump build . A strong poison was emitted from the body . In addition, death mother was an ant queen . She constantly generated virulent larvae over 50cm .
There was no need to add anything to the 25th floor . This place was for Tashmal and the angels .
The combined 26th floor was left alone . I couldn’t think of an appropriate creature just yet .
After adding creatures to the floor below, an achievement window popped up .
-Incredible achievement!
‘10 appropriate breeding species’ have been added to ‘transformed zones’ for the first time . 1,000,000pt will be paid . 1,833 achievements will be given . |
Thanks to the achievements from the additional terrain and species, I actually ended up using slightly over 2 million points .
There still remained 10 million points .
‘This is just South Korea’s dungeon . ’
My gaze turned .
It was time to go to Japan’s dungeon .
* * *
-Significant achievement!
100 unique goblins have emerged for the first time . 200,000pt will be paid . 400 achievement points will be given . |
I received an achievement as soon as I visited Japan’s dungeon .
‘I need to personally visit the other dungeons to receive the achievements . ’
I nodded .
That’s why I had no news about what was happening in Japan’s dungeon . The waiting message windows finally appeared after I moved there .
There was a significantly high frequency of unique goblins appearing . So I only received a small amount of points . It was still better than nothing…
“I’m glad to see Master!”
Guyo flapped his wings and welcomed me .
“The progress has been good?”
I handed over permissions for Guyo to directly use the points . However, the points were hardly reduced .
Guyo’s expression darkened .
“There is too much to do and I couldn’t choose .
“What about making most of the floors into a maze?”
“It is okay but the costs in points is very expensive . ”
Guyo had created the maze on the 1st floor himself . It was easier to hide treasures and traps .
It was okay to push the maze concept . The Awakened in Japan would be able to feel excitement from such things . Recently the points from Japan had increased so it wouldn’t be bad to expand the maze .
‘There is no additional maze terrain . I will create my own . It isn’t even related to achievements . ’
These calculations were also included .
“Don’t mind it . How many floors have been pierced through?”
“3rd floor . ”
“That is fairly low .
Just like in Korea, each floor was significantly different . It was circumstantial evidence that South Korea had the fastest growing Awakened .
“Create a maze up to the 5th floor . I will leave it to you . ”
“Guyo can act freely?”
“Yes . ”
“Wah…!”
A round of applause . Unlike Yihi’s hobby with bees, Guyo seemed to like being productive . I was just glad he didn’t give me honey water .
‘A number of different terrains and creatures should be added as well . ’
The development of the dungeon for achievements had started .
* * *
-Welcome to the Achievements Store .
Current achievement points – 6,440 Achievement points can be used to purchase goods from the store . Item names marked with a + can only be purchased once . |
The result meant points had poured in like crazy . I collected 6,000 achievement points in two weeks .
I didn’t mind that my points were halved .
‘The rich get richer . That really fits . ’
I realized that it was easy to use points to gain achievement points . In particular, achievements were applied separately for Japan’s dungeon . Achievements without the title of ‘first’ gave less points but this was great information .
This meant I could gain more achievement points if I had more dungeons . Although there was still a long way to go, 50,000 achievement points really wasn’t a dream .
But for now, I had no thoughts of saving the achievement points . I looked through the list and selected an item .
At the same time, a message window rose .
-Are you sure you want to buy the ‘Cruel Commander and Corps? |
