《The Portable Dungeon》Chapter 2.3

“This is incredible…”
I stared at the screen in awe. The scene where rabbits and boars trampled on their predators, the wolves, was breathtaking. My jaw was wide agape the whole time since they first clashed.
“OP monsters… Thank goodness God Abruptum didn’t nerf this…”
I made a joke in the spur of the moment to relish in aftermath of the fight. The scene that was displayed on the screen now was the celebrating rabbits and boars after defeating the wolves.

A few moments later, a new window appeared displaying the rewards I get after successfully defending my dungeon.
“…”
And one look at the MP reward made me upset.
“… Looks like saving up for the will take awhile…”
I let out a sigh and took a look at the items next.
[Night Wolf Claw*] – Sturdy claw taken from a Night Wolf. Can be used for alchemy.
[Night Wolf Fang*] – Sharp fang taken from a Night Wolf. Can be used for blacksmithing weapons.
[Alpha Night Wolf Fur***] – Thick fur taken from an Alpha Night Wolf. Can be tailored into high class winter clothing.
“Ohh… This… Still has no use at the moment…”
Since the items were delivered into my by default, I only had to exit the window to be done with observing and keeping them.
I closed the as my work was now done. The first floor of the dungeon was secured with tight security, even though the bodyguards were only rabbits and boars, and the treasures I set up were still untouched.
“Anyway, since I can open the anywhere, I don’t have to be in this room every time I need to open it.”

I turned around and headed back to the passage where I first went through to get to the core room. I went up the stairs leading to the living room from the basement and then went straight to the second floor. Looking for the room where I can get comfortable with, I set up my sleeping space on one of the guest rooms. The master bedroom had a huge bed good for about 4 people, so I had to give up on it. I can’t sleep properly with that kind of bed.
I went towards the bathroom to freshen up and after the refreshing shower I headed back to the guest room and lied down on the bed.
“Fuwwaaahhh… So comfortable…”
*Grumbling Sounds*
“…”
It looks like because of the tension earlier, I forgot to eat. I went to the kitchen to whip up some food from the corpses of the animals I hunted. I took a Horned Rabbit corpse out of the and laid it out on a tray, but…
“…”
‘I forgot… I don’t know how to dismantle them… I don’t even know which part is edible or poisonous…’
“… Shit…”
A curse naturally flew out of my mouth at the regret of letting TB no. 2 leave earlier.
“I should’ve asked it first how to dismantle the corpses…”
I sent the corpse I took back and instead, took out one of the foods that the organizers left with me after my transfer.
“…”
But for some reason, the food that they left me with was something that was very familiar to me.
[A Variety of Instant Noodles (Cup Included)]
[A Variety of Canned Food]
“…”
After a few seconds of shock and nostalgia, I smacked myself in the head with my right hand.
‘What the heck are you getting surprised about? Don’t mix up common sense with fantasy damn it!!’

Once again, I reinforced the ‘Common Sense Does not Work in Dungeons and in Fantasy’ belief in my head to the extreme.
Since there was running water in this house, as shown back when I was showering, it wasn’t that hard to get clean water. Pouring in water to the kettle, I placed the kettle on the stove and opened the gas.
After waiting a brief moment for the water to boil, I poured the boiling water into the cup where the instant noodles was waiting for its demise.
A few minutes later…
“Fuuuhhh…”
After having my fill of cup noodles, I threw the cup into the trash. Surprisingly, the trash can here instantly disintegrate anything thrown inside.
“…I’ll have to be careful next to this trash can…”
I went back up the stairs and to the guest room where I will stay for the night. I lie down on the bed to get comfortable and feel drowsiness overcome me… not.
“I can’t sleep…”
Maybe because all of the tension from earlier still didn’t disappear, I felt lively enough to not drift into slumber.
“What to do…”
Contemplating on what to do to relieve the tension, I remembered something very important to my livelihood.
“The book… I forgot the book…”
I quickly opened up the and took out the book that was given to me by the organizers to learn about the world. By the way, picking out items from my inside my was pretty weird, but whatever…
Seeing the book once more made my mood worsen.
“Oh god… This is very thick…”
I flipped open the book and into the first page. And thus starts my grueling activity of reading myself to sleep.

~ Third Person POV ~
Long, long ago, in the distant past, there exists a singularity within the empty void. This singularity had the power to fabricate the very existence of worlds itself. During the period when the singularity had started to generate an ego for itself, it had a thought.
‘This place is so dark.’
Thus let there be light!!!
With a single will of its thoughts, the light took place in the form of a sun. The void lightened up that day, making the singularity full of joy. Time passed then the singularity had another thought.
‘There is nothing here…’
Thus the creation of the world!!!
In but a moment, a huge land of mass was created in the lonely void. Various beings came into existence here, such as trees, grass, etc. The singularity enjoyed itself creating all these things into existence and as such, more time passed.
‘It is very lonely…’
The singularity had developed emotions. After eons of creating and more creating, the previously empty void was now filled with various huge lands of masses, each ranging in different sizes and shapes. But one thing in common could be seen on each of the lands of masses, there was no life. In reality, there was life, but the life that the singularity sought was one where they could communicate with each other.
Thus started the day where humans were fabricated into existence.
