《My not so Peaceful Dungeon Life》Chapter 14: Exploring Town
Advertisement
Morrigan and I are currently holding hands and are entering the weapon shop. A fantasy weapon shop! I have never been to a weapon shop on Earth even so this should be super cool.
Wait hold up. There are no dwarves. Will there even be cool weapons without cool blacksmiths. I was looking forward to having a burley dwarf leaning over an anvil and telling us to wait until he was done with his weapon. Well I guess the only thing to do is go in.
I reach up to the door handle and get on my tippy toes. I can just barely reach the handle but what the heck is this!? The door is heavy to pull open! Who makes these things!?
“Here Shiro, let me get the door.”
“No way! I got this!”
If the door won’t open I’ll just force it open. I pull my hecate off my back and point it at the door from a crouching position.
Right as I’m about to shoot, the door swings open.
A big guys comes out with a scrawny man being held in the air by his collar.
“Next time you try to shoplift at my store you won’t be getting off so easy!”
The big man proceeds to kick the man in his lower back while he lets go of his collar sending the man flying in a く shape.
This guy must be on par the muscle man. His form is great he must have lots of practice kicking his customers. I hope I don’t be a customer that he ends up kicking.
Wow he got 3 skips on the shop lifter. That is more than I could do! Not that I can lift them up in the first place. Seriously this guy is a giant he must be more than 2 meters tall. He is not a literal giant but a tall human. A giant is at least 4 meters tall according to the Fairy archives.
“Shiro watch where you are pointing that!”
“Eh? I wasn’t actually going to shoot it Morrigan!”
“Ahem. Do you two need anything?”
Morrigan gives me a look saying don’t cause any trouble.
“Yes we were going to look around your shop before we took our quest.” Says Morrigan.
“Alright sorry for the trouble, the low rank adventurers try to steal higher quality gear thinking it is just a difference in equipment and not skill that separates them from the best.”

I might be one of those skill-less people who just relies on their equipment and stats.
Morrigan stop giving me the eye! I didn’t do anything wrong! I definitely wouldn’t have caused any trouble I was just going to open the poorly built door in a manner that suits someone of my height.
Thank goodness the big man didn’t notice that I was going to blow up his door. I think I would have been more trouble that a shoplifter.
“Come inside, my assistant will help you if you can’t find what you are looking for.”
Ooh the blacksmith doesn’t deal with the customers! It’s kind of like the forge obsessed dwarf.
Morrigan and I enter the weapon shop. There are all sorts of swords lined across the wall but like... there is a total lack of glory swords and magical bows and stuff. The swords are well made and all but... it doesn’t really have the whole fantasy vibe to it. It is all armor swords and shields. There are no wizard staffs either... I kind of wanted a wizard staff... I suppose I couldn’t afford one even if there was one.
“So what did you want to do here Shiro?”
“Umm where are the cool weapons like the ones that those strong adventurers had?”
“Hahhaha! Shiro you have to custom order those with high end materials and a famous blacksmith with a max level crafting skill you can’t find that stuff in a town.”
I have a max level creation skill so I can probably make the cool fantasy weapons on my own then. I think my hecate is evidence that I can make cool weapons.
Now that I think of it I need to make something otherwise I will be wasting my Mp. I am sitting on full Mp at the moment. I don’t have the skills for any weapons except my hecate so I suppose I will just make more ammo.
I don’t want to put ammo I won’t use in my storage so I need to make a better ammo.
When I look up Morrigan is practically dragging me to the library. I suppose I zoned out.
I make 2 bullets in my closed fist using 500 Mp each before storing them in my pocket. I can’t quite take a look at them right now to appraise them since Morrigan doesn’t know about my creation skill. In theory though the explosion should be 10 times bigger than the current ones. Forget the door I will take your whole weapon shop down for discriminating against short people.

Fuhfuh I remind myself of a certain explosion obsessed girl right now. I can make multiple explosions a day though. Your Mp pool is nothing compared to mine!
I really want to try these out now. Hopefully there are some juicy wyverns to slay in this dungeon. This time it won’t just be your head I am severing.
“Shiro! Shiro!” Someone is calling my name!
“Eh? What!?”
“Shiro we are at the library. You are drooling here let me wipe it off for you.”
Where did she have that napkin?
I suppose I might be obsessed with explosions as well... no, no, there must be a different reason for the drool.
Entering the library, Morrigan drops a coin into the box and leads me into the library. She seems to have been here before.
“Morrigan can I look for books on my own?”
“I guess that is fine too.”
Did she want to read with me? It would awkward if she saw me pullout history books since the events of the last 800 years should be more or less common knowledge.
I need to be vague in asking where the history books are.
“Hey Morrigan how are the books organized?”
“Umm let’s see... that wall is alchemy books.” Says Morrigan as she points to the far wall.
“And the rest of it is all spell books.”
Umm no history section? Or fiction? I guess books might be expensive in a fantasy world? So they only use it for magic...
I guess there might be some magic books that will still cover important events so I will have it just look around.
I picked a few books of the shelf so it wasn’t suspicious but the only book I found was called Magical Milestones but one of the dummy books I grabbed was about gravity magic which sounds cool so I will read that one too. I totally want a zero gravity serpent boss fight in my dungeon. That just sounds too cool!
The magic mile stone book is honestly just common sence for the most part. Your Mp pool increases by leveling up! There are potions that can increase your Mp pool! No kidding! It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. It is a fantasy world of course there is stat potions.
Maybe my fantasy delusions are effecting my views of the world.
The only interesting thing I learned was that different creatures had different concentrations of Mp. A creature with a highly concentrated Mp will have much more devastating effects casting a fireball than someone without a concentrated Mp using the same amount.
Thankfully it isn’t a cultivation thing I don’t have the patience to do that. Gimme my cash transactions I don’t wanna grind!
But jokes aside the concentration of Mp varies from species to species. An example of this is dragons have a less concentrated Mp than a human does, but a Kirin has an almost entirely amp based body. A fairy has a very high concentration of Mp as well. As an Arch Fairy I must have great Mp. I guess dungeon cores have great Mp and that is why I turned into an arch fairy.
The gravity magic book was all just theory but I can probably just make the skill as a dungeon core as long as I understand some of the theory.
About four hours have passed and Morrigan has come to pick me up now. She brought me some bread while I was reading since I refused to move...
Wait did she see what I was reading then!? What was the point of figuring this all out myself then...
Regardless she didn’t say anything so she must have not noticed.
“Here Shiro I already bought our supplies I just need you to store it in your space magic!”
“Okay!”
After storing dried meat, potatoes, and carrots, I store the clothing and camping supplies and we are all ready to head out. I can’t wait to raid this dungeon and see if I can steal any ideas from them.

Slightly Contradictory
I did not expect to die, but for the same outcome I would die once more. I did not expect to wake up again, but as soon as I did I was told to die. I did not expect anything from this new life, which has since given so much. I still do not know what the future holds, but there is one thing I am certain of; I will fight to get there if I have to, and I will fight twice as hard for my family!
