The Abandoned Hunter Chapter 80
Advertisement
He had just started to think about it when suddenly all of them shouted, "ALL HAIL THE BLACK KING!!!"
The sound echoed throughout the dungeon while the walls also cracked with the amount of noise they made.
"All hail the... black king?", Jay stood clueless while being surrounded by them.
"W-what's wrong with them? What's with the sudden change of attitude?", he was surprised when he saw all of them bowing in front of him.
Even the arrogant Overlord who was trying to kill Jay a while ago was now bowing in front of him.
It was really strange for a monster to suddenly respect a human being.
"You all, why are you...", he couldn't ask it. It seemed that his throat was dry because of fear as well as the tension which he had till now.
He somehow managed to ask them after gaining some energy, "Tell me, why are you bowing in front of me?"
None of them even dared to say anything. On seeing this, Jay wanted to ask again with a more soothing voice since his voice had completely changed.
For reason unknown, his voice would deepen when he uses the Dragon's consciousness or any of the dragon's direct powers and probably that was what making the vampires fear.
"Well...", just as he was about to ask, he saw the Vampire Overlord to slowly mumble something.
"Huh? What did you say? Can you tell it loudly and clearly?"
Without realising it, he was instilling fear in them but it was not in his hands to change his voice again until the skill was deactivated.
"You are our esteemed Master, so it is our duty to boy before you."
"Haaa!!!? Master? And esteemed? What are you talking about?"
Jay was being puzzled even more. He tried to understand the exact meaning behind his words but was failing again and again to comprehend it.
He then finally decided to ask the system since that was the only way for him to know.
"System, why are they bowing to me? Am I their master?"
'DING DONG'
__________
[ANSWER] - 1
- They are bowing in front of you since you are their master.
[ANSWER] - 2
-Affirmative.
__________
"Ya I get that but how and when did I become their master?"
The vampires kept on lowering their head and waited for Jay's orders. They did hear him saying something but thought that he might be making some plan.

'DING DONG'
__________
[ANSWER]
- The host has received the title of [THE BLACK KING].
- All the monsters/beasts that are borne from dark will be the Black King's Slave.
__________
"...."
Jay stared at the answer which he got from the system for a few minutes while the vampires started to murmur some things among themselves.
"Now I get it...!!!!", he finally screamed at the top of his voice.
'ZZZDDD ZZZZDDD'
Suddenly the ground started to shake and so did the walls of the dungeon.
"Eh...? What's happening now...?"
The small tremor vanished instantly the way it came. Jay stared here and there and moved his gazes back towards the vampires only to find tears flowing down their eyes and their bodies shivering out of fear.
"We are sorry Master! We won't talk among ourselves again without your permission!", said a few of them.
"Huh...? Wha—", before Jay could ask what they meant to say, the Overlord of the vampires, Sebas, said, " Please be merciful my liege. I will take care of them... please forgive them this once."
Jay didn't get any opportunity to ask about the tremor which was actually caused by his shout, nor was he able to ask them the reason of their loyalty that shifted so early.
All he could do was reply Sebas, "Fine..."
"Thank you my liege."
Jay didn't pry anymore since he was already aware of the title which was told by the system. On top of that, it was advantageous to him since he wouldn't have to fight the blood thirsty vampires. Also, he could now probably rescue his sister.
He started walking closer to Sebas when suddenly both the skills got deactivated and entered their respective cool down timer.
"Hmm, tell me Sebas, why did you bring all those girls here?"
Sebas lowered his head and said, "My liege, we were ordered to do so."
"Huh? Ordered? Who ordered you?"
Sebas shook his head and said, "I am sorry my liege by I don't have any memory regarding that. The only thing I know was that I was ordered to get 39 female wolves and 39 female humans and have a bath with their blood."
"Hmm...", Jay didn't doubt him since he knew that Sebas wouldn't have any reason to lie to him.
He too started thinking of the possibility of someone asking him to do this.

"Well anyway, show me where the girls are present. You haven't done anything to them right?"
He shook his head and guided him to the cell where all the girls were placed unconscious.
Jay just looked at them to see their status and indeed he found his sister among them.
"Phew... she is safe..."
Sebas didn't understand the reason for Jay's saying so he asked, "Is something wrong my liege?"
Jay turned towards him and said, "Ya, you had kidnapped my sister..."
"N-no!!! How could I do that!!!?", Sebas gave out an instant reaction with his eyes bulged out and fear all over his face.
"I... I dared to touch my liege's sister!!!?", he wasn't able to bear the truth and immeditely brought out his claws.
"I will kill myself!!!", he aimed the claws at his neck to chop his head off when Jay suddenly vanished from his position and appeared just beside Sebas while grabbing his claw and stopping him from doing that.
"You are my property, don't you dare kill yourself without my permission!"
His eyes were shining with dark-blue light when he told this. It seemed as an order to Sebas so he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I shall obey. Forgive me for my act that I just showed."
"Haha, it's fine.", Jay's fear has completely disappeared and now he was speaking comfortably. His cold black-blue eyes disappeared too the moment he laughed and now he was about to leave when he suddenly got an hunch.
"What did you do with the wolves?"
"I have killed them and bathed with their blood.", Sebas answered right away without hiding anything.
"Is that so? Then...", Jay turned towards another cell from which he was getting an ere feeling.
"What is inside this cell?"
There was something within the cell which had a lot of power within it. Even the system itself couldn't detect the thing that was inside.
"Oh, I guess there is a pup of the wolf."
"A pup!!?", he exclaimed.
"Yes, when we had bright 39 female wolves and were killing them, one of the wolf gave birth to a pup (baby wolf) which we didn't kill and threw it here..."
Jay understood what he said after keenly listening to his explanation. He then decided to open the cell and this asked Sebas to bring the key.
Sebas immeditely flashed the key to Jay after which he walked and opened the cell.
Jay walked slowly inside the cell to find where the pup was hiding. It was complete dark and even the free pass that bypasses dungeon's restriction code wasn't able to eradicate this darkness.
*whistle whistle*
Jay whistled while anticipating the pup to come out jut little did he know that the pup was just barely 5 days old and hadn't received any nutrition due to which it was lying unconscious.
"Tsk, why ain't I able to see here...? If only I had..."
'DING DONG'
__________
[SUGGESTION]
- Use vampiric eyes /dragonic eyes to see through the darkness.
- click > to synchronise with the Vampiric eyes of the Vampire Overlord [SEBAS].
>/>
__________
"Huh? Synchronisation?"
He thought for a moment and then immediately clicked on the '>' option that was being displayed.
'DING DONG'
__________
[CONGRATULATION]
- You have successfully synchronised with the Vampire Overlord [SEBAS]
- You can see all his stats and use any/all skills of the Overlord.
- click on '>' to use Vampiric Eyes.
> / >
__________
"Of course YES!!!", immeditely after reading through the notification, he clicked '>' yet again and immeditely after he did that, his eyes turned completely red.
"Cool!", that was the only thing he said when he looked through his surrounding which was much clearer thanks to the enhancement in sight.
But everything occurred a bit red that was a bit inconvenient.
He then turned his gazes towards the cell area and observed all the places he could when suddenly he found a small tail.
"Is that..."
He immediately moved closer to it and when looked carefully, found that it indeed was the pup that they had been talking about for so long.
"So you were hiding here...?", he immeditely extended his hand to grab him and slowly pulled it out from the small hole in which it was stuck.
"Wow... aren't you cute...?"
He pulled it out and looked at it for a while when suddeblubits status popped up without him asking.
"System... status isn't necessary right now... we can see that later! For now...", despite saying that he saw the status.
"You are kidding me... you call this a WOLF!!?"
"..."
"SEBAS!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS EXACTLY!!?"

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
