《After the universe exploded, I became a Dungeon Master.》005. The first monster
Advertisement
David was dumbfounded when he looked at the hyper fairy that had just appeared out of nowhere as he had selected [Help] from the menu.
"Hey listen, hey listen, you just took my place as the [Dungeon Master], but you also didn't let my soul dissipate and even made me a [Dungeon Fairy] and became my master. I love you but I also hate you so since love is more fun I will love you. Why haven't you talked yet? Are you mute? Your not mute are you? This would be no fun if you're mute. Well playing charades with you could be fun. Wait, wait, how would that work? You're just a pebble right now. Huh, how do I know what charades is? I have never played it before... or anything for that matter. AHH I know now, I'm not just any [Dungeon Fairy] I have the help functions knowledge. Woo, I'm a smart fairy." As the fairy was saying all this she was flittering around the room all over the place looking at David's pebble, the walls and other features of the area they were in.
"Um, no IM not mute. Wait, maybe I am since I'm just a pebble?"
"YA, YA, it's masters voice, I can hear you loud and clear."
"Ok, how in the world can you hear me I don't have a mouth... or any thing else for that matter."
"Hee hee, It's because you're the [Dungeon Master] and you're my master. If you couldn't communicate with me how would I be able to help you? Helping you is my job and I would be really sad If I couldn't help you. So, so, you used the [Help] function in the [Menu] because you needed help right? What can I help master with?"
"First why do you keep calling me master? Second, what did you mean when you said I took your place as the [Dungeon Master]. Third How can you hear me? And fourth and most importantly WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??"
"Giggle, Giggle, I call you master because you're my master. Second when your soul took over the [Dungeon Core] the core was JJUUSSTT about to finish making my soul to be the new [Dungeon master] and you kicked me out, but yaaaa I didn't dissipate and was able to become your [Dungeon Fairy]. Third We can talk with our minds!! That's so cool, isn't it? No matter how far apart we are within your area we can talk with our minds. And lastly, the most fun bit is you are a [Dungeon Master] that's what's going on! You can do so many things and have so much fun. I may not be the [Dungeon Master] my self but I still get to have all that fun with you because IM your [Dungeon Fairy]. Yay"

"Ok, ok calm down a bit will ya? Oh great, you have me doing it now. You're making me dizzy flying around the room like that. Could you tell me why you popped up when I used [Help]?"
"Why, why should I stop? It's so fun flying around all over. There are so many interesting things. Oh yeah, I "popped" up as you said because you used [Help] and the great and almighty, beautiful beyond all others, and transcendentally wise goddess Aidan gave you the advanced [Menu System] and it used my kicked out soul to be the helper. I have all the knowledge you will ever need about being a [Dungeon Master]. You are so lucky not only do you get a cutie like me by your side, but you also got Blessings from 2 High gods!!! When I noticed that I was like so "OMG"."
"... I will ignore that line that sounded exactly like the line from the pop up earlier for now. But how did you know I have blessings from 2 gods, and those 2 insane gods were High gods?"
"Yep, yep, High gods. The most powerful kinds of gods out there. Most planets can have 1 or to Low gods or even hundreds, but they usually don't have the power to do much beyond that planet. But High gods can look over several whole universes!!! I can tell you were blessed by them because of our colours. Even if a Low god blesses a [Dungeon Master] their colour usually is still clear. But you have 2! That is so amazing. I have the best master of all times!!"
"You're going to take some getting used to. You are so hyper. Sigh, enough about that for now. Since you're so full of energy why don't you tell me what a [Dungeon Master] is? Those so called High Gods never really told me."
"Well, well, a [Dungeon Master] is the master of a dungeon duh."
"I so wish I still had a body so I could facepalm. I gathered that much. But what IS a [Dungeon Master]?"
"Ohhh, Ohh, I know what you mean now. a [Dungeon Master] is a being that can use the Life force of the world to make stuff and monsters and take over an area to get more life force. They are born in areas that naturally for some reason or other gather lots of Life force and form a crystal, Then that crystal slowly after thousands of years condense and condense until a soul is born in it. I myself was one of those souls until you kicked me out, and I only had 3 more days to go before I was born too dang it. Oh well because of that I get to serve you master." As she said that she flew up to Davids crystal and gave him a big hug.

"Ack, not so hard. I feel like I Might crack."
"Opps, Opps, sorry. Back on topic, [Dungeon Masters] Come in all shapes and sizes, each has their own personality. Some good, some bad, some quirky, some well let's not talk about. _> 0_o They all start about the same size as you tho. Your crystal gets bigger the stronger you get. There are even legends of cores the size of planets out there."
"Yikes, that's big, I wonder If I will ever get that big?"
"Yes, Yes, Please get that big, I so want to see that! I would have soooooooooooooooooooo much influence in the fairy community if you do. But that would take millions of years to do."
"Wait, Millions of years? How long do [Dungeon Masters] live for?"
"Immortal! Immortal! You're Immortal unless you get killed! Yaa, I get to live with master forever!"
".........."
"Any ways, Any ways, You can use magic and life force to summon monsters to help you gather more life force to make yourself stronger. The more life force the better. Too bad just like all new [Dungeon Masters] you can only summon the slime. But all monsters come from the slime. So you just have to get them to evolve into better monsters. You might even be able to make dragons some day or even make your own unique new type of monster, that would be so great!"
"... Ok... How exactly do they help me gather Life force?"
"By killing other living things of course. Or sucking their life force out with out killing them I guess. You can do that one too when ever they are in your area. But killing them is so much more fun."
"I will think about that."
"Oh, Oh, try summoning your first monster now. I want to see your first time! Just go to the [Skills] Section of the [Menu] and select [Summon]."
Skills Summons Tire 0 Slimes
Basic Slime
Nothing much to this living ball of water. It will wander around until it finds something to absorb then go back to wandering.
Cost: 50 MP LF 55
"Wow, expensive. I only have 100 Life force right now, and you only cost 10 Life force to be created. Will my magic regenerate automatically or do I have to do something special for that to regenerate like with Life force?"
"Time, Time, all it needs is a few min of doing nothing and it will regenerate. And ya it's more expensive than I was because I was summoned from the [Help] System and it just used my already their soul, but this time you're making the slime from scratch. Now go ahead and make it, I want to see it, take it out I want to see it!"
"That sounded a little ambiguous but ok I will do the summon now."
As David concentrated on the slime icon in the summon menu a marker appeared on the ground in his vision. This marker was a flat purple circle with a bobbing up and down arrow green above it in the in the air, and David was able to move it around as he willed it, He could even split the marker into several more which made it look like if he wanted to he could summon as many slimes as he wanted at the same time. Alas, he only had enough Life Force to summon one for the moment.
When he found the spot he wanted to summon the Slime a window popped up asking for confirmation that he wanted to summon a Slime. He didn't even think about it and selected Yes. A moment later a slight glow appeared at the spot he had selected, and as if beaming in like in sci-fi shows a clear blob of water around the size of a watermelon came into being. At the centre of the blob of water, there was a small colourless stone the size of a pea.

You've woven in enough goodness in the first 5 chaps to warrant a deeper dive." -RaccoonMage "A well written Isekai." -TaxReligion "When I saw it was an isekai I expected the same old tropes.
