Chapter 3 - Luring the hunters

"Iris, I'll be gone for a while okay? I'll make sure that people starts coming to our dungeon so that we can continue to develop it."

"Sure! I'll keep watch on the surroundings until you come back." Iris said with a joyous expression. She could feel her good fortune when she had found Jin which who was willing to join her as a dungeon master.

Ever since she had created the dungeon, for a few months already, she hadn't been able to bring people in the dungeon and only some weak monsters had been coming to her dungeon. Iris hadn't dared to use her GP since she had only managed to gain some after a few months of hard work.

She didn't have any plans for how to make people come and start as a real dungeon master. As such, the only thing she could do was continue to search for a companion to work with and she really had started to feel lonely after all this time.

However, just these few hours with Jin had already made her quite happy. Compared to her days of solitude, she felt that being in company of someone else was quite fun. Not only that, but after Jin had told her his plan, she had immediately understood the principle behind his idea and had given full support in it.

To make the first floor a free-monster floor and adding coal and copper in the walls to bring people to mine in the dungeon. Not only that but the mine was only half of the first floor. The other half was a beautiful green land with a river flowing in the middle of it. Jin had bought a "blue sky" to make it seem like they were above ground. As such, if everything went as predicted, the people mining would eventually build houses on the first floor of the dungeon so that they don't have to leave the dungeon every day.

Not only this, but with a floor unique to this dungeon, it was sure to gather attention to adventurers and other miners. Without forgetting that these adventurers that would come would be able to protect the dungeon from the animals and monsters coming from the outside to protect themselves. It was truly a profitable idea to make a floor like this one.

And when he made the second floor, he had tough about which monsters to have in the dungeon and he finally went with the undeads. At least to begin with because they were able to feed themselves with malice which came from the mana of the dungeon. This was one of the best side of the dungeon. No matter which kind of mana a monster needed, the dungeon would transform it to fit with the monster as such he didn't need to think about giving food to his monsters since they would "eat" the mana.

Even tough he had spent almost every GP she had collected over the few last months, she was truly happy that she had found someone reliable who could think out of the box to help the dungeon. She knew she didn't have the same capabilities than him and had already prepared herself to be a second caracter even tought the dungeon originally belonged to him until she became parter with Jin.

She hummed a song happily as she waited for Jin to come back from the city to complete his plan.

————————————

Jin left the dungeon and arrived directly behind a waterfall in the forest. He looked a little bit around before starting to walk on the path towards the forest. He looked at his steps as the rocks were wet.

The waterfall wasn't falling from that high. It was approximatly 9 or 10 meters high and the entrance of the dungeon seemed to be approximatly at the middle of it.

When he got out of the path of slipery rocks, the first thing he had to do was make a way to walk. The entrance was full of dead leaves, branch and there was even a small tree that had fallen in front.

No wonder no one ever found the entrance of the dungeon Jin tought while moving the tree out of the way. Luckily the tree was small or he would have had no way to more it out of the way.

For his plan, Jin had planned to go to the town to show the coal and copper. However, he didn't have great feelings for humans as such, he would like to meet the minimum of them Even if he was in another world, he firmly believed that humans would be humans no matter which world he was in. So he would try not to get entangled with them. He only needed to show the place where they could find the ores and than he only needed to wait and see the resumts.

Jin tought of finding the hunting team that Iris had talked about instead of looking for the village. So, he set his eyes to find the hunting team.

Following Iris directions she had given him before he left the dungeon, he arrived at a lakeshore not far from the dungeon. The trees were overflowing with life and the animals of the forest were mostly all coming to this place to drink since the water seemed rather pure.

He turned around the entire lake twice before finally noticing the hunters of the village. They were currently near the shore of the lake while some were holding fishing rods and others were holding their bows aiming at some animals not far from their position.

Jin immediately saw that they were a group of expert hunters as they made no noise while hunting and they all followed the orders of the one who seemed to be the lesder without any problem.

After waiting for a while, Jin finally decided to make his presence known to the warriors so he made a slight noise while coming towards them to notify them that he was coming.

This tactic worked perfectly well as some of the hunters walked towards him with a worried look on their face.

"Are you okay?" Do you need any help?" The warrior who seemed to be the leader asked me because I had cut myself while moving the tree and other oddities in front of the dungeon entrance. As such, he believed that Jin had actually fought a monster and managed to escape.

Remembering his goal for meeting with them, Jin flashed a smile while answering him politly that he was fine. Instead he took out the two rocks he had found and showed them to the warrior.

"This is the reason I was bruised all over. I found these rocks in a cave near here and since they looked kind of precious I took them. But I really don't know what they are used for."

The hunter immediately looked at the "rocks" in Jin hands before he looked at Jin with a face full of shock and happyness.

"You have to show us where you found these rocks! They are extremly important to us!"

"Oh! Yes! Of course I will show you, it is not far from here!"

Jon snickered in his head while mentally patting his back and praising himself for the good job.

Since the hunters were still mostly hunting food for the vllage, he followed Jin with 3 other guards and they arrived at the entrance of the rocky path a few minutes later.

Without hesitation, Jin walked in the slipery path of rock towards the entrance of the cavern. The hunters behind Jin kept up with him even tough they were slipping a little bit more than Jin bucause of the weight of their armor.

And finally, they arrived in front of the dungeon and Jin entered without further consideration for the hunters.

They quickly followed him inside the dungeon to see coal and copper in the walls of the cave.
