《The Paradoxical Dungeon》Chapter 6: First Invaders
Advertisement
I was waiting in my core when I noticed something. People were gathering at the entrance of my dungeon. It seemed to be a group of hunters as they were armed with bows and had the carcass of an animal that looked like a deer with a single horn on it. I watched them take out a strange stone that was glowing a red color.
The one that was holding the stone moved it away from the entrance of my dungeon. As he did this it started to lose it's glow more and more the further he brought it from me. As I watched him do this I noticed that the people around him were scared.
It was at this point that the people around him started to speak in a strange language I have never heard before. It sounded, unlike anything I have ever heard before and had lots of sounds like clicking.
While trying to understand what they are saying I notice a blue box pop up.
You know you can get a skill that lets you understand what they are saying right?
(Adam) "There is a skill for that"
There is a skill for pretty much everything. Tho normally you are supposed to spend the points you gain when you level up. Not mana that you collect every
(Adam) "That is true, well can you pull that skill up for me"
Here you go.

(Adam) "This is the first skill I got that needs Life Points. Also, it looks like I will need to upgrade it if I want to get a better understanding of the language. Oh well, this will do for now." I think as I get the skill and start to speak
(Adam) "Thanks for the help ...." I suddenly realize that I have no idea what their name is.
(Adam) ".... What is your name? Sorry, I never asked before."
I don't have a name. I am just part of the hero system.
(Adam) "I could give you a name if you want."

That would be very nice
(Adam) "Why did I say that? I'm horrible at names. Common, just think of anything. OK, it's blue so how about blue. No that's really bad. Common something to do with blue. There has to be something I can think of. I know! " "How does sapphire sound?"
It's wonderful. Thanks."
(Adam) "Your welcome sapphire. Also." I stop as I remember that there are people right outside my dungeon
I spend most of the Mana I have left from waiting for people to find my dungeon to learn the language that they are speaking. After learning it I start to understand random parts of what they are saying.
(Group of hunters) "Dungeon draw empire.... Stay in village.... Six.... Get help.... Destroy.... Keep empire away." And with that, they all nod their heads and start to leave.
(Adam) "So they are probably going to get help to destroy me. This is the perfect opportunity to test out my dungeon on whoever comes after me. Hopefully whoever they get is weak enough that I can still deal with them. Anyway, might as well wait for them to come after me." And with this thought, I started to wait for whoever was coming after me.
And after just a couple of hours, I see some people in armor and robes walking towards me. Once they reach the entrance to my cave I see them sit and start to take a rest. I watch them waiting for them to do something as they just sit there.
I'm watching them waiting for them to do something when one of them gets up, screams something and start to run towards me. As soon as he gets to the entrance the ground falls out under him. I watch as he screams as he falls down to the spikes below. It is at this moment that I suddenly fell Life Points poor into me.
Way more then I have ever gotten before. Probably around 50 just for killing one human. Knowing this, I now understand why dungeons would want to let things into them. This was also why I decided that I would not let a single human out alive. I would harvest all of them.

After deciding this I wait to see what else these humans do to try and get through my dungeon. That was when I noticed that the tallest one out of the group starts to go along the edge. He makes it to the halfway point when an arrow hits him and he falls right into the pit next to his friend.
feeling more Life Points enter me, I notice that one of the humans was starting to run away. Worried that they are going to leave I watch the remaining three have a small talk before they enter my dungeon again. This time the one with the large sword walks in holding his sword in front of him and blocking the arrows letting the other people in.
At this point, I'm starting to get worried that they might make it to me. That is until the female falls into the next pitfall. Killing her and gathering more Life Points. Only two left and they haven't even fought the monsters yet. Is this really all that these humans can do. They are way to weak to even think about coming in here.
While I'm having this thought I see that they have found my first monster. Though they don't notice the queen that has hidden in the back corner of the room. I watch as the beetle jumps at them and the one with the large sword swings at it. Knocking it to the side as the other one starts to run towards my core. Ignoring him I watch the larger man.
I spend some time judging him before the fight starts. He seems to be stronger than the rest. But he is still too weak to even leave a scratch on the beetle's exoskeleton. I watch as he swings his sword down in a vain attempt to save his own life. I watch as the sword swings down and sinks a couple of millimeters into the beetle.
(Adam) "That's not possible. There is no way that he is strong enough to harm it. It must be that weapon he is using. After he dies I need to check it out." With that thought out of the way I look back at the fight.
He is doing better than I thought he would. There seems to be three wounds on the beetle at this point. But as I'm thinking this he backs into the queen and looks back at it. As soon as he sees it he screams, giving the worker beetle a chance to attack him. Not wasting this chance, it grabs him with its pincers and start to crush him. He starts screaming more and more as he is slowly being killed.
Ignoring him I look over to the other human. He is running right at my core and the pitfall in front of it. But before he falls into it, he sees the other beetle and starts to fight with it. Right as he is about to though he hears the screams of his friend and hesitates. At this moment the other beetle runs at him killing him almost instantly with his pincers.
At this point, I feel the life points of them enter me at almost the same time. And as soon as they do I also felt everything in my dungeon that they brought in disappear. Even the man that I just watch die disappeared and was turned into mana. Confused by this I asked what happened.
If there are no living things or one hour after it died. Anything you did not place in your dungeon and anything it had on it is turned into mana for you to use. Though most of it, this time, came from that sword. It was probably at least D rank.
I thank Saphire and start to plan the upgrades I am going to do to my dungeon. I'm just about to start when one of my monsters start to glow.
