《My not so Peaceful Dungeon Life》Chapter 8: Muscle Man Returns
Advertisement
It has been 5 days since I first summoned the fairies and since then all they have done is complain!
“How come there are no adventurers?”
“How come you have no monsters?”
“If only there was something to do.”
I have been here with nothing to do also and I’m not complaining! Not yet at least. Soon I will be. Because I have come up with a genius idea that will let me talk to the fairies without breaking their strict rules they have set down. And the way I will do this is by buying the ‘Body Manipulation’ skill. With this skill it will increase our combat power while letting me talk. Now how will I buy a 200 Mp skill you ask? Of course I will do this by increasing my max Mp. That much is obvious. I only need to add two more floors for me to have enough mana to purchase this skill assuming my Mp size doubles each time I buy it. I am not sure if it adds 25 Mp or doubles it. I actually have one more theory which is that it copies the previous floors Mp increase since it is the same size as the previous floor. Regardless of which one is correct, the fairies will be happy because I am doing one of the top priority tasks. In fact, the fairies decided nobody would be able to solve my Rubik’s Cube in the mushrooms for a while and that the defence priorities should be lowered. So that means my number one priority is expansion!
So I will be adding my third floor today.
After getting to the ‘Research’ option of the menu I focus on the ‘3rd Floor’ option of the menu and create a third floor just like the second one. The dungeon starts shaking slightly more violently than the last time I added a floor. The goblins seem to be ok this time and are leaning on the wall so that they won’t fall over. The fairies both seem surprised for a moment but then pretend that nothing happened. It seems they won’t get angry at me which is good. Once the ground stops shaking the fairies and I both decide to head down to the new floor.
At first glance, it is a little disappointing. It is an empty rectangle just like the second floor. In fact, it is an exact copy of the second floor. Because of this I am lead to believe that it copies the floor above it so I should be adding rooms first before adding floors. I must know though, how much has my max Mp increased by?
‘Status!’
Dungeon Core lvl 5 Name: Core #293 Stats: Mp: 0/75 Dp: 0 Mp Regeneration: 15 Mp/day Durability 150/150 Skills: Appraisal lvl 3 Dungeon Menu Dungeon Sense Expand Domain lvl 1 Titles: Reincarnated Leader Enemy of the Human Fungus Dungeon
It increased by 25! This leaves 2 options for how this works. One option is that I will get 25 more max Mp every time I add a floor. The other option which I believe to be correct, is that it copies the previous floors mana benefits. Now bask in awe at my creation fairies!
The fairies don’t even know how to react they are so shocked at my new floor! After nearly 20 seconds of them looking at the room the one in black finally speaks up.
“You really are an idiot aren’t you?”
Eh!? She is still calling me an idiot even though I followed the plan?
“Why didn’t you add more rooms first before you added your third floor?” asks the black one as if it is the most obvious thing in the world.

I just figured out how it works this time I needed to experiment first to know.
“Do you know how much it will slow down the progress of your dungeon if your first floors don’t have rooms? It copies the previous floor’s size you realize! It is like you get free rooms every time you spend your mana! For 50 Mp you could have increased your max Mp by adding rooms!” shouts the black one.
Now that I think of it she is entirely correct. There was no reason to build another floor yet even if I didn’t know how making floors worked.
“You should sit in the corner of your precious new floor and think about your mistakes idiot!” shouts the one in black.
Maybe I really am an idiot, I’ll go to the corner just don’t get mad at me!
“Sis, it might not be smart enough to realize why what it did was wrong you shouldn’t be so mean to it.” says the one in white.
Wait no matter how we look at this I am not that stupid!
“You are probably right but punishment is the only way it will realize it’s mistakes. It is in a book on how to raise kids.” replies the one in black.
Ok, that is going to far I am not a kid I am 19!
“If you read it in the Fairy Archives than it must be true sis!” exclaims the one in white.
What are the great Fairy Archives you might ask? I would be asking the same thing. Where did she get a book in this dungeon can probably be answered if I learn what the Fairy Archives are.
“Hurry up and go to the corner!” demands the one in black.
Little does she know I can still see the whole dungeon with ‘Dungeon Sense’!
It has been a little over 5 hours since my punishment began and a situation has arisen. The muscle man is back! The idea behind moving the door back was so that my minions could increase their levels not so that they could respawn! There is no chance that we can beat someone who is over lvl 300! I think this is wear I stay in time out and let the fairies deal with the issues with their great planning abilities. Let’s see what your Fairy Archive says about this! Hah!
Muscle man is running at a ridiculously inhuman speed and is about to reach the area that I used ‘Expand Domain’ on.
A human has entered your dungeon or been in it for a day.
+3 Dp
Well I suppose I should at least give my dungeon a fighting chance so I will use these 3 Dp to give the fairy in black exp and hope that it will help her since she has a more offensive skill set than the one in white has.
Converting all 3 Dp into 15 Mp I use it to give her Exp
'Fairy' has gained +750 Exp
'Fairy' has reached lvl 4
Lvl 4 now
Lvl 4 is nowhere near muscle man but I should still appraise her and see how much better she got.
‘Appraisal!’
Fairy lvl 4 Name: Hp: 80/80 Mp: 120/120 Stats: Str: 7(+2) Int: 73 Dex: 17 Spd: 34 Vit:12 Wis: 14 Luk: 18 End: 11 Skills: Poison Magic lvl 3 Dark Magic lvl 2
Wow! She got a lot better! Her poison skill even reached level 3 which is higher than any of Aka’s skills. What can I say, as expected of a fairy!

The muscle man still has a ridiculously big sword on his back and is now entering my dungeon. Even after his sprint from the town he hasn’t broke a sweat so I am not sure how I am supposed to compete with this. As he enters this first room of my dungeon the two goblins charge him from either side as fast as they can. The goblins crouch low to be smaller targets with their claws at their sides ready to push their arm forward and stab him once they get in range. As soon as they are close to him and start bringing their claws forward, the muscle man uses his ridiculous arm span to grab each goblin by their heads. Without even looking at the goblins, he casually crosses his arms and lets go of the goblins’ heads as they each fly towards the wall opposite of them and become splats on the wall. The muscle man doesn’t even stop walking to deal with them! They must be weaker than a fly to him!
Proceeding to the next room he finds it to be completely empty, not noticing the fairies in the corner. Not finding it unusual he walks up to the next room filled with mushrooms before pausing. After about a second of consideration he walks right into the mushrooms!
“It is a good thing that Martin lent me his spirit I can easily solve this puzzle.”
Oi! I don’t care about the puzzle how come you are ok in the fire!
Closing his eyes he starts moving the Rubik’s Cube making all the correct turns on it! Aka and the fairies start to make their move while he uses some sort of meditation ability to keep him from burning in the fire. Using ‘Healing Magic’ a small line is created flowing from the fairy in white to the fairy in black. Aka quickly uses fire fang on muscle man’s nose making him flinch and lose focus.
'Aka' has dealt
-8 Hp physical damage
-36 magical damage
With his eyes now open, Aka uses ‘Solar Light’ to blind muscle man. Muscle man brings his hands to his eyes and shouts in his rage causing the monsters to flinch for a moment from the muscle man's skill that he accidentally activated. Not losing the opportunity the fairy in black quickly casts ‘Poison Magic’ three times into muscle man’s open mouth.
'Fairy' has dealt a critical hit
-483 Hp magical damage

In pain, muscle man grabs his huge sword off his back and begins to blindly swing it in rage. Narrowly missing the fairy in black she barely dodges the inhumanly fast blade. Muscle man goes for a horizontal slash toward where Aka is. Nicking his blade on the wall, the tip of the word shatters flinging shrapnel at Aka while the rest of the sword follows after it. I told you the wall was sturdy! Distracted dodging the shrapnel the sword catches Aka by surprise and causes his body to bend in a くshape. Once muscle man’s swing stops Aka goes flying off it with a thump as his body smashes against the wall. Aka’s blood splatters off the wall getting on muscle man’s sword and coats the wall in a ellipse shape because of his long body.
Not losing the opportunity, the one in black uses the Mp she gained from the one in white’s ‘Healing Magic’ to run up and cast ‘Poison Magic’ two more times with a ‘Dark Magic’ to make muscle man unable to see again. As one very dark green ball of poison hits the man in the left eye causing the man to shout in pain.
'Fairy' has dealt a critical hit
-483 Hp magical damage
As his blood curdling cry begins, another ball of poison enters his now open mouth causing the man to bring his hands to his throat from the burning pain in his body.
'Fairy' has dealt a critical hit
-483 Hp magical damage
The fairy in black now almost out of mana and the fairy in white completely drained of mana from helping the one in black cast the spells they pull back to gain some distance. Using his rage the man begins to scream as he chucks his sword across the room at the fairy in white causing her to become another stain on his sword.

The huge sword smashes against the wall causing shrapnel to fly across the room. While the shrapnel bouncing off muscle man’s thick skin he doesn’t even flinch as he pulls out a vile with red liquid out of his satchel. Uncorking it he brings the liquid up to his mouth. Not keen on losing her progress the fairy in black flies straight into the bottle with a loud breaking sound as the glass shard fly across the room.
Wincing in pain from the fire, The muscle man buckles his legs and sprints towards the direction of the fairy, his advanced senses allowing him to easily find the fairy in the room. With each step, muscle man groans in pain from the poisonous flames.
'Poisonus Firestorm Mushroom' has dealt

Muscle man quickly reaches out with his massive right hand and snatchs the fairy in it, squishing her tiny body in his hand causing the severed top and bottom of her body to fall to the ground. As they near the ground, they begin to catch on fire, burning to ash before they can hit the ground. Leaning over, muscle man starts to vomit a mix a blood and poison into the green mushrooms.

Shaking from the sudden loss of blood and lightheadedness muscle man takes another potion out of his satchel and brings it to his lips that are dyed in blood. Tipping his head back to consume the potion, he begins to choke on his blood and poison causing him to bring his head back down to spit it out. As he brings his head down, his conscious begins to slip away from him and his potion spills into the mushrooms while he collapses.
'Human Blood Barbarian' has died
+34,700 Exp
Dungeon has absorbed 'Human Blood Barbarian'
+1 Dp per level
+348 Dp
Choosing how I would like to distribute the unfathomable amount of exp I choose the only logical option. Have the carry snowball! I give all 34,700 exp to the fairy in black!
‘Fairy’ has reached level 18
Holy shit! That is a lot of levels!
'Appraisal!'
Fairy lvl 18 Name: Hp: 190/190 Mp: 430/430 Stats: Str: 12(+2) Int: 123 Dex: 26 Spd: 45 Vit:26 Wis: 45 Luk: 18 End: 16 Skills: Poison Magic lvl 6 Dark Magic lvl 4 Illusion Magic lvl 3 Space Magic lvl 1
With this strong of a fairy I think I won’t be in a dangerous situation for at least a little bit. So, before the fairy sisters wake up, I better spend all this Dp!!!

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.
