Dragon World
Age 778 Future timeline
Dungeon
I stepped into the cabin, and fighting ceased as the eyes of my captured turned to me.
"You let us out of here, or you'll be sorry." Issei Hyoudou said.
"If you want out, all you have to do is go out and fight some beasts. Earn 100SP, and you can come and go as you please." I said.
I scanned the shop and found a few books on alchemy that weren't there before. The shop was upgrading all the time. Even the cabin had upgradable options.
"So, we just need to earn SP to get out. You aren't lying."
"Matsuda, I have 5 already. We need to pool our SP together so someone can get out and tell our parents where we are." Issei said.
"Good idea, bring more people here to join if you can. Have you checked your stats yet? I don't see any equipment on any of you. Did you sell it all for SP?" I asked.
"Wait, did someone kidnap you too?" Issei asked.
"Uh huh, try and get your endurance up if you can; that will help you stay out longer; trust me, it's the best stat to focus on early. Also, you can pay SP to upgrade the cabin and make it more livable. I'll go ahead and make an account; oh, and don't worry about going missing too much. It's two days in here for everyone outside. Welcome to the dungeon. My name is Vincent Hawk. Don't forget to tell your friends about this place. The more, the merrier. We should upgrade the place soon. If you're feeling really frisky, it's also possible to build your own base deeper in the dungeon; you can even charge people to stay there like an inn." I said.
"So this is like a game, only real life. When we leave, can we take these stats with us?"
"Yea, every single one and your equipment. I'm not saying you're lucky that this happened to you, but you could become incredibly powerful here. Anyone that shows promise, I tell you what. I'll take you to the other world where the dungeon rests and teach you how to fly. If you don't show promise, flying lessons start at 1000SP; buy early, or you'll miss out." I said.
I floated up to the cabin's second floor, where the fallen looked down at the humans. Then I froze for a second. "In a few days, we are opening a hospital for any injured, so don't be afraid to leave the cabin and do your best. If you need weapons and armor, I'll loan you a starter set for only 50% of your SP earnings. That's right, get powerful equipment early for the low price of 50% of your earnings for the first 6 months in this place."
Issie raised his hands immediately. "I want that deal."
"Oh, and if I see anyone but who I paid in my armor, there will be penalties," I said.
"I'm already on it; contracts made here will be binding. Written penalties will apply, and the contract breaker will have bad luck and SP loss." Tera said.
That made me shiver; bad luck in dungeons was a killer.
"Please let my daughter out of here. I don't care what it takes; just let her go." The man who ran into me said.
"Take my deal and earn for enough SP to free her," I said.
"Yes, I'll do anything." The man said.
I pulled a full set of armor from my backpack and a rare spear. Then because I was a nice guy, I included a small box of healing pills.
"Take one of these if you're seriously injured. These are a gift, and I don't have a way to replace them. So, use them wisely." I said.
The second he agreed, I felt the contract activate. A sense of impending doom fell over me until I gave the man everything I had promised.
I returned to the second floor and relaxed. Raynare gave me a dirty look, and Dohnaseek was missing.
"You didn't tell us the only way to earn SP is the fuck the furies after beating them. Did you invite us to this venture because you didn't want to fuck them either?" Mittelt said.
"I don't mind the furies, but I would love some fallen angel pussy." I slapped the fallen gothic Lolita's ass as I led the girls to my room on the second floor. The cabin had little room yet, but I had my room.
"Who cares what the humans have to do to get SP? We're the ones who will profit?" Raynare said.
"The account I just made isn't for us; it's to buy upgrades to the cabin. There are upgrades to facilities like a medical branch for the building. We can make open-ended contracts for Asia to heal anyone for a fee. So long as Asia holds up her end, they will be forced to hold theirs. It's how this place works. We can also open facilities like gyms to better train stats and theatres for entertainment." I said.
I popped off my codpiece, and the girls stared. Stats did more than make me stronger, smarter, and more believable.
"Let's fuck." I said.
