《My Birthday Wish to be a Dungeon Master was Granted!》Chapter 11: Meeting
Advertisement
Few days later, I am now standing in front of a giant castle. The giant castle towered above the clouds as its majestic appearance continued to grace my presence.
"Beautiful..."
Was the only word that left my mouth, I carefully headed towards the giant, majestic double doors. Estimating, its height reaches about 5 meters high. The double doors opened slowly when I reached a few meters before it.
The next scene caused my eyes to pop out of my eyes.
***
Earlier...
"Shironeko, Kaze will be your guardian while I am gone."
"... Is master leaving...?"
With teary eyes, Shironeko came to me with a downtrodden expression.
"N-no... I'm not leaving you. I'm just going for a trip for a few days."
"...Uuu..."
...Dang... I stuttered... I must have made a weak impression on coming back...
"Don't worry lady Shironeko. Master is just going to see some friends. Also, he is the master of this dungeon, so it is impossible for him not to come back."
"...Really...?"
"T-that's right! I'm just going to go and greet some friends and I'll be back after a few days."
Thank you Kaze for that follow-up!! Anyway, what's up with me and my stutterings today!? Is it because of my nervousness?
Minutes before the appointed time, I, Kaze, and Shironeko were gathered in a single room. I was dressed in formal clothes, as expected, I couldn't go to the meeting without wearing formal clothes. It's like going to school without wearing your uniform.
Back to the present, the time to go was nearing, so I readied myself, wearing formal clothes, making myself look neat, and also saying goodbye to Shironeko and Kaze.
Kaze's main purpose was to be Shironeko's guardian, so I thought to make him in my image, to make Shironeko calmer. Well, at least it works, save for when Kaze calls Shironeko, lady Shironeko. I told him countless times to address her as just Shironeko, but his pride, his automaton pride doesn't allow him to call his superiors with an informal attitude.
I was dressed in a black tuxedo that complements my black hair and eyes. It had a feeling of being highclass. The last thing I need is to wear a bowl hat to make it look like I was a mafia member, but I refrained. The clothes totaled to about 50000 DP, this suit was really expensive, at least for other dungeons. With my earnings, I can gain 50000 DP in just 2 and a half days, a sign that my skill is broken.

Just then, a magic circle appeared beneath my feet.
"I guess it's time. Kaze, take good care of Shironeko and tbe dungeon, Shironeko, be a good girl and follow Kaze's words. Also, you can watch anime if you want, just don't destroy the TV like last time. I won't be able create another one while I'm gone."
"Certainly master."
"Y-yes! Please be well!"
With a worried voice, Shironeko saw me off. As for Kaze...
"Kaze, I command you, stop kneeling..."
"Forgive me master. I am but a sevant---"
"Yeah yeah, I get it... Anyway, Kaze, I leave the dungeon and Shironeko in your hands."
"Understood!"
With a strong and determined voice, I bid the two farewell and my vision was blinded by the intense light. The next thing I saw after the transfer was a huge valley of green, with a giant castle towering high above the clouds.
***
Presently...
The scene I saw had my jaw dropped to the ground. A majestic ballroom stretched through the castle's interior. In the ballroom, countless of people, animals, and creatures with different races were mingling with each other.
The scene where a huge red dragon talking with a human like me was surreal, the human was wearing formal and luxurious clothes. The human's age based on appearance looks about his early twenties, but I know that isn't true. We dungeon masters have eternal youth, so appearances can be deceiving. Well, that doesn't even matter.
I headed inside with clear strides while trying to hide my nervousness. When I entered, only a few dungeon masters looked at my direction. I guess some of them are new dungeon masters, while some might be looking for easy prey. That's just how mortals are. Once you feel superior for a long time, it starts to get to your head and you become arrogant.
Back to the present, I felt out of place inside the castle. Looking around, the first thing I wanted to do was to try out the food. I headed to where the food was located.
"... Wow..."
The food here looks good!! Bread, beverages, pasta, cake, anything you cam find at a very luxurious restaurant can be found here. I took a plate and filled it to the brim with food.

Once that was done, I searched for an open table. Upon finding one, I seated myself and began to partake on the food. I gulped down my saliva and brought the spoon to my mouth.
"...!?"
... What happened? Did I just lose consciousness for a second? If this was because of the food, then...
I took another spoonful of food, and once again, my tastebuds was blown away.
T- This is freakin' delicious!!!
As I was eating and savoring the food, a person seated himself across my seat. Actually, not himself, but herself, she had radiant gold hair that reflected the light from the chandeliers, and deep blue eyes that can suck you in as if a blue vortex. Her face had features that can put any top model to shame. Moreover, she looks like she was in her early twenties.
"Greetings fellow dungeon master, my name is Yvonne."
With a voice as pure as a clear lake, the girl, Yvonne made a smile. A smile that looked like it can charm any men once seen, but sadly, it won't work on me. During the time I was preparing for this day, I made sure to study on how to guess the other party's intentions.
Dungeon masters are people too, so they are not exempted from the information war, much more if they are competing against each other for territory.
The smile that I can see on Yvonne's face is none other than a smile that looks for any kind of weakness and strength it could find. Judging from her behavior, she must be an old and cautious dungeon master.
“Hello Yvonne, my name is Daichi. I just started being a dungeon master a month ago.”
I told Yvonne my name and also how long I became a dungeon master. This must be enough to end her probing about my dungeon. I don’t like giving away information about my dungeon you see. Much more if it is a dungeon master whose personality I don’t know.
“Is that so? Well, let me congratulate you on your start on being a dungeon master. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to contact me, okay?”
Saying that, she left an item on the table and went on her way, it had a form of a rock tablet. Looks like that worked, Almost no dungeon master would actually notice month old dungeons as they are just new and can be crushed with just a few days. And the item she just left. Help she says…?
[Appraisal]
Item name: Surveillance Bug
Item Grade: Rare
Item that can disguise itself according to the user’s preference. Can only be transformed once and gathers information in a 25 meter radius, and sends it back to the Surveillance Receiver linked with this item.
Haahh… Looks like she really is cautious, I’ll be throwing this when I get back to the dungeon. Wait… What if I created a dummy dungeon to send false information to her, that way, when she tries to do anything funny, she’ll be surprised about the false information, right?
I took the rock tablet and put it inside my pocket. Its size was that of a smartphone, so it made a perfect fit inside my pocket. With that done, I went back to eating. I want to savor the taste!!!
***
“Fuaahhh… That was really fulfilling…”
After eating, my belly was bulging out. Eating those kinds of food was really satisfying. I hope I can buy this using DP, or make some golems who can cook that can try and replicate the food here.
Just then, the sound of a gong resounded through the ballroom. Some dungeon masters who heard this gong had a grin up their face while others were momentarily stunned.
Right after that, a giant, holographic screen appeared at the end of the hall. Inside the holographic screen, there was a man in his youths with a majestic appearance. His looks that is far ahead than those of male models, body that is slim, yet sturdy, and a clear voice that can suck you in. He had silver hair and silver eyes, and looked at us as what you would call a father looking at his children.
“Welcome, my children, to the annual Dungeon Games!!!”

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.
