(Fainith's Pov)
"All of you should now be aware that this world or more specifically the Reality Balance System has stopped you from reaching higher heights when you were given your roles as a rank I dungeon, but that changes today. As the new Dungeon master, I'll make this one into the deadliest dungeon ever, and by extension you all into the strongest bosses, not because I care about you or anything like that, but because you're all my belongings now, and I'll make you useful for me, whether you want it or not." Master spoke as me and the now returned 4 Queens were all kneeling before him.
He was seating on one of the four thrones.
"I know that you the 4 Queens most hate me, but you can't do anything about it. Well, if you want revenge then I advise you to give up now because I will kill you the moment you try anything against me. On the hand, if you want to never experience what you felt when I made you do all those things, then we can talk, and so long as you serve me well, I'll give you that power that you yearn for, and all you have to do is obey me, your Master. As an example of what happens to those who show some useful to me, Fainith, come here." Master continued to talk to us, before calling me.
Not wasting his time I immediately got up and went there.
"You are currently weak, but I can see your resolve. Use that as a motivator, however, you must remember who stands at the top or might regret it. Whatever happens in tbs future just keep the moment you become something more in mind." Master extended his hand to me and I was anxious to see what he would do.

(Náli's Pov)
It was a simple road the one to conquering this dungeon, much simpler than I had expected, but maybe I just had grown to the habit of expecting the worse, not that I believed that was a bad thing, it was just a bit disillusioning to experience.
After I met Fainith, I fought and killed an extra 900 roaches, 4000 ants, where 400 of them were flying ants, 600 flies, 7000 larvae, and 200 centipedes. Leaving me at level 15, not because I didn't have enough exp to reach level 16, but because of what level 15 represents, as it is the level at which you get your first class. Unlike sub-classes which can be earned through work and more so function as passive buffs or abilities in a way, classes can only be gained at certain levels, and they come with abilities and buffs of their own depending on the class. Unfortunately reaching the level was only the first condition, and I would have to enter and complete the class trial to acquire a class. All that is under the Reality Balance System.
Once we arrived at the nest, the other bosses, were there and I forced them all to submit pretty easily all things considered. Having that dealt with I conquered the dungeon and became its Dungeon Master, something that was only possible at this time because I have the Chaotic Evil System. If I wanted to become a Dungeon Master normally, it would take me being at least level 50, since normally all-natural dungeons are directly regulated by the Reality Balance System, though with the creation of artificial dungeons known as Labyrinths by a sage very long ago, the system began to allow qualified beings to become Dungeon Masters.
Due to this new position, however, I have gained an ability called
[Dungeon Management: As a Dungeon Master, one can plan, design, shape, and manipulate the dungeons under them, being able to even manage the monster or other subordinates assigned to it. Though all the process costs dungeon points, which can be earned through killing challengers or sacrificing resources to the dungeon.]
When it comes to resources, items containing mana or precious materials would be enough, though it's also possible to just directly feed the dungeon with mana, chi, and soul, as any of them are consumed by it. Which is exactly what I did. Unfortunately, dungeons take a lot, and if I didn't have infinite stamina, I wouldn't have tried. Each DP(Dungeon Point) cost me 100 energy points, so in the end, I managed to create 12 DP since the dungeon doesn't take in two different energy types at the same time.
Since I wasn't doing too much at the time, I decided to check my status screen.

(Looks decent... Though now that I think about it, I got 200 EP from the others but didn't get any from Fainith, isn't she a boss as well?) I found myself wondering.
(Hum... Not necessarily, Fainith gave up watching you before you even found her, so it didn't count for anything.) Leah did her thing and explained it to me.
(So, do I need to intentionally cause those things to get the points?) I questioned.
(Basically, but it has more so to do with the fact she chose to accept rather than you imposing it on her, how you're doing to these bosses.) Leah responded.
(Oh well, it doesn't matter too much, they don't hand out enough EP for what I want anyway. When I go to a higher-ranking dungeon I'll be able to grind EP and we'll see how it goes then.) I thought to myself.
(Just don't forget don't to enter the class trial before you go or you won't be able to level up until you leave and do so.) Leah reminded me.
Having dealt with that, the bosses came back all of them still looking empty-eyed, so I sat on one of the thrones and made them all kneel before me, then gave a few words of encouragement and called Fainith to me, so I could use her as an example of what you can gain if you're a useful tool to me.
Using my 10 DP, I was able to change Fainith's status from a stagnant monster dungeon boss to that of a wild boss monster, meaning that she can now gain exp and evolve by killing monsters and slayers alike. It might not seem like a lot, but it completely changed things for her. The only downside being that she becomes a level 1 again, not that she had a high level anyway.
"Master... Did you do anything?" Fainith who was still waiting for something to happen questioned.
"Yes, just be patient." I answer.
(Leah, can I transfer exp to my subordinates?) I asked, though regardless of the answer, I have dungeon so getting some exp wouldn't be that hard.
(Well, yes, but only those connected to you like Fainith who was given by the system, or the other bosses since they are a part of the dungeon.) Leah replied.
(Ok, how much exp is necessary to bring Fainith to level 10?) I inquired though if I wanted I could have calculated it from my memory, but why have servants if you're not gonna use them?
(For level 10, it's... 10,230 experience points.) Leah clarified.
(What's the highest level I can make her, using the exp on hold?) I questioned.
(level 11, as it costs 20,470 experience points to go from level 1 to 11.) Leah told me.
(Just make her a level 11.) I ordered.
(On it Master!) Leah got to work.
Just then Fainith began trembling before she looked at me like she had just seen something horrifying, but then that expression soon turned into probably the most perverted smile's ever seen in my life. It looked like she could pounce on me at any moment, though I hoped she was smarter than that.
In the end, it seems she controlled herself and her body grow a bit while her physique became more pronounced, toned, and voluptuous.... I'm sure her boobs are larger now. This all is due to two things rank-up and mutations, something only monster races experienced, much, in the same way, I got to make an ability, she got a rank-up and a mutation for reaching levels 5 and 10 respectively. While a rank-up was something that people would often compare to acquiring a class, mutations were closer to making an ability.
Ranking up makes her a stronger version of herself in all ways possible while mutations gave her abilities an amp-up and a new ability as well. This also plays into why monsters races are stronger than others at the same rank and well... Called monsters. Cause they also have classes, though they don't get to make their own abilities... At least that. This is part of the reason why I'm bothering to take in the boss monsters, cause once they grow enough even I will have to be careful or they will catch up to me.

AN: Some trivia I guess. Do tell me if you want me to keep doing this kind of stuff.
•Monster Levels:
-G.Ants: 2
-G. Flying ants: 3
-G.Fly: 3
-G.Larvae: 3
-G.Cockroach: 1
-G.Centipedes: 4
-Fainith(Before): 5(Limited by the dungeon)
-The 4 Queens: 5(Limited by the dungeon)
The order of strength among the Queens is as can be seen in their subordinates. The centipede Queen was the strongest while the cockroach Queen was the weakest.
