Chapter 5 - Doubting Oneself

"-Bye mortal! Good luck with your dungeon!"

"Wait! I have que-," The other side has already ended the call when Jason was just about to ask something.

Jason has been hearing God's explanation for hours, and he couldn't even remember half of it. God sent an IPA. to him and he just only needs to install the app.

*Ding!

"A message?" Jason then opened his messages as he saw a System notifications.

System Message: You only have 20 more MB in your data package. Please apply for a new package.

"...How am I suppose to play ML!?"

"Master, I think it would be better to focus on God's quest for now." Natalia interrupted.

"Yeh, I'll do that..." Jason installed the app and found out that it was actually a game! 'I thought it was going to be a system...' Jason didn't know whether to feel disappointment or something else.

*Dungeon Builder

Jason opened the game and couldn't believe how it looked. It looks so realistic! More precisely, its like he was watching a video! There was a huge stone gate, standing over a green hill.

"Is that a portal!?!?" Jason really thought he was watching a movie if it weren't for being able to change the Pov by swiping with his fingers and there was the "Menu" on the side, if not he would've really thought it was a movie.

*Open the Dungeon? Y/N

Clicking Yes, Jason has finally started his own "Dungeon". The empty stone gate suddenly emitted a bright light as it released a huge amount of mana into the air. All beasts from all over the continent gazed into the center of the continent as it signified a new home was open for them.

*To establish your 1st Floor, you need to choose an environment for your monsters to live in.

There were two types to chose an environment. One was to choose a pre-built environment or build your own. Although Jason wanted to build his own environment at the very moment, he still checked the pre-built environment hoping that there's something similar to what he imagined. He saw magma rivers, towering trees, a mountain full of holes, an empty desert, and many more. Although each was different from one another, and some he doubted whether even a monstrous monster could live there, they all had the same size from corner to corner. There was a black wall made of an unknown material, caging the whole environment separating it from the unknown.

Even after checking every environment, sadly he still hasn't found the ideal environment for his 1st floor. It seems that he really needs to invest time in this.

"Natalia, I'm on night duty tonight so you go ahead and sleep."

"As you wish Master Lecher."

"Wha-?" No matter how much he wanted to argue with Natalia or any other girl, he'll always imagine his father covering his ears as he warned him, "Always let the woman win an argument or you can never sleep peacefully!" the agony on his father's face was just too worrisome.

...

Somewhere there yet nowhere.

A cubic world suddenly appeared, inside was limited space yet this limited space could house millions of people.

Inside the tiny world was something no human could explain, a bright sun beaming across the crystal skies, the world was separated by a circling river, inside the rivers area was a flat ground perfect for herding, outside the circle were trees everywhere until the end where a monstrous black wall could be found. The walls size seems neverending as whether you look high up in the sky the wall could be found, deep under the ground the wall could still be found, and nothing can escape from it.

This was the world of "EverGreen" maybe one day it can expand bigger than anyone could imagine.

...

Sunny Day.

Somewhere in a small pacth of forest near "The Holy Empire".

"Yes! I'm finally done!" Jason shouted.

*Would you like to name the floor? (DefaultName: 1st Floor)

"Mhh, EverGreen! Yes, EverGreen Indeed!" Jason madly typed.

*Are you sure? (You can no longer change after this)

"Hell! Yes!"

*[1stFloor] EverGreen created.

*Leveled up 0-1

*Unlocked "Guardians"

*Greater teleportation Unlocked

*Dungeon Spirit (Form) Unlocked

...

"So it's time to pick a Guardian?" Jason already knew what Guardians were. They were a respective floors representative. When the Dungeon Master asks something about a particular floor's information, the Guardians are the all-knowing persons or more precisely beasts.

*Would you like to select EverGreen's Guardian? Y/N

Clicking yes, a never-ending list of monsters lined up on the screen of his phone. Even after swiping down for a while he didn't even saw the scroll bar moved a little.

"How could I ever sel-, There's a filter?!" Just as he was about to complain

Clicking a couple tags he managed to chose 8 tags. Respectively, intelligent, loyal, humanoid, capable of human speech, beautiful, smart, resourceful, and lastly female. After finishing a couple trick-shot videos, the sorting of the lists finally ended. Jason looked at the top monster and when he saw her, he immediately summoned her as his 1st's floors guardian.

In the middle of "Evergreen," various lines appeared magically as it slowly took the shape of a huge magic circle. 'Don't tell me I pressed the wrong monster?' Jason thought. But his worries were unneeded after the magic circle was finished a fluffy tail sprout out from the ground, and another until there were 9 tails sticking out of the ground. After that, the tails released a blinding light evenly across the screen, also blinding Jason. When he recovered his vision he saw a small fox with one bushy tail as it looked up where coincidentally Jason's pov was currently at.

"Say, Master would you mind giving me a name?" a cute little voice sounded out of the phone. Unknowingly, Natalia was intrigued by whether his master was interested in little girls. So she abused her "powers" as she slowly sneaked up on Jason without him knowing.

Jason was currently in a state of shock as this was far from what he had envisioned. He wanted a busty Kumiho as the guardian following him everywhere and serving his needs. But hearing that voice, he knew that his fantasies were now over.

"Master, a name please?" the fox continued to ask.

Jason just gave up on his dreams as he thought of a name for the fox.

"Well then, your name would be Inari..." Jason sounded happy, but deep inside he felt very cheated. At first, the busty Natalia was now more "normal" but to be honest, he didn't really want a big busty wife, and Natalia's looks were more acceptable. His plans included the fox as his harem member but if it turns out to be a little girl then he'd rather become a priest or something.

'Maybe I'm a late bloomer, and actually into lolis?" Jason inwardly thought.
