《Curiosity Didn't Killed the Dungeon》Chapter 1: Choice
Advertisement
I don’t know how long did I go unconscious. But, when my conscious return, I was in a cave.
‘Basic cave starting point huh?’
I don’t know how did I know that I was in a cave. It feels that the cave itself is myself. I know everything in here. Even the little pebbles.
Bonus Reincarnation Reward Please choose one IncarnationEncyclopedia EditorDomination
‘Hmm.... Everything looks pretty good. Let’s check something out.’ I immediately try to focus my mind to think what is the details. Based on what happened, it seems like this thing can read my mind. Which reminds me some of the novels I read.
Incarnation A special spell that let you to manifest yourself into flesh. Stats are given according to the power of strongest being in your dungeon.
Encyclopedia A Godly book that have the information of everything. The book will respond to the user’s mind to find the information that is wanted. The book will update itself based on what is happening.
Editor A unique title that let you to manipulate the beings under your control, letting them to be released from the boundaries of the evolution system. WARNING: The beings that is edited need to be edited carefully, or else, it will DIE!
Domination A legendary skill that spreads your influence, for dungeons: It affects the mind of those inside or outside of your dungeon. Making the ones inside more loyal, while to the others on the outside, it will corrupt their minds and made them to subject themselves to you. Slowly. Making them your loyal servants.
And the details come just like what I guess. So, based on the details here, I come to a conclusion to get the ‘Editor’ title. Why? Because the others seems uselss to me. The Editor is the only one that will get ride of my boredom and satisfy me. The ‘Encyclopedia’? Nay, I become a dungeon to fill my curiosity, what use that a book with knowledge of everything in it for me? It will only give satisfaction for a short amount of time. And then, it’s useless and I will be filled with boredom again. It’s like cheating, which give a moment of satisfaction, but quickly made it boring. The others? They didn’t even get my interest. Without hesitating, I selected ‘Editor’ using my mind.

’Editor’ selected. Please confirm your choice again, as the choice is permanent.
I confirmed the selection.
Title ‘Editor’ has been added.
Now, that the bonus selection has ended, let’s take a look to our surrounding. The cave doesn’t have any light source. It seems like that I was buried underground. No animals nor plants. Completely empty. I would have been scared if I was alone in a place like this in my previous life. But now, there is nothing that I cared about, other than satisfying myself. I had no fear.
‘My story shall start here! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!’
Laughing like a third-rate villain in my head, right here and now, I declare the start of my story. The story that doesn’t have any plan. The road that will be paved as I walked. The endless road to fill my endless curiosity and boredom. The road of the Unknown.
