One week had passed since I came to this world.
After the last hunter attack, not much happened. Although thanks to Elly, I had gained a considerable amount of DP. Currently, I had 2340 DP.
But I couldn't use the "Picker" skill on the equipment Elly had collected.
"Master!"
Onyx spoke while leaning her head against my chest.
"Good morning."
I spoke while lightly stroking her head. I think he was starting to get attached to me.
We were currently resting in bed. Yes, it was a tough night, but my new body could handle it. But mentally, I couldn't say the same.
Although Onyx's skills had started to improve. It was probably because of the "Absolute Passion" skill.
Onyx could now summon either an Ogre Warrior or an Elite Ogre Warrior. The main difference between Elite Ogre Warriors was their ability to learn and coordinate.
And yes, Raven was currently training five Elite Ogre Warriors. I gave them the title of First Floor Guardians.
Normally, when Onyx summoned an Ogre Warrior, either an Elite Ogre Warrior or an Ogre Warrior came randomly.
But since I wanted them all to be Elite, I killed the summoned Ogre Warriors and then Onyx used her skill again. We continued until all the Ogres were Elite.
And Lexia hadn't done anything for a week. She said controlling her body was taking a toll on her. She was now waiting in a strange position for me to raise the dungeon level.
"Nefarion."
[Dungeon Name: Nefarion]
[Dungeon Master: Orion]
[Dungeon Level: 1 (Upgrade)]
[Current Dungeon Floor: 2]
[Dungeon Boss: Orion (Change)]
[Number of Monsters: 10]
[Number of Warrior Monsters: 9]
As Warrior Monsters, the dungeon now had me, Raven, Onyx, 5x Elite Ogre Warriors, and Lexia.
We had expanded the first floor of the dungeon. The first floor was now much wider.
There were two Farmer Villages and one City around the dungeon. So far, we haven't had any contact with humans.
But I had a few plans in mind for the Farmer Villages.
[A 'Limited Time or Quantity Item' has been added to the system. Please don't forget to check it!]
Finally, the notification I wanted appeared in the system.
[Limited Time or Quantity Items]
•[Limited Raffle Ticket = 1500 DP (0/1)]
•[Limited Raffle Ticket: You can earn anything from this item. Each person can only buy one.]
"Purchase!"
I didn't even need to think about it to buy it. Everything limited was perfect.
"Use the ticket!"
I spoke with an excited voice.
[Congratulations! You have acquired a new skill.]

[Special Quest created.]
[Quest: Gather slaves for "Nefarion". (0/5)]
[Reward: Skill Card]
[Description: Nefarion needs slaves to become stronger.]
Yes, the last skill I obtained was a passive skill called "quest". To explain the skill simply, it gave me a random mission.
But I must admit, it gives nice rewards in return. I have already collected over 3000 DP.
However, there is nothing to spend the DP on at the moment. I could buy equipment, but I wanted to summon more Warrior Monsters.
Unfortunately, the dungeon monster limit is limited to 10 monsters. I need to increase the dungeon level to summon more monsters.
And there are some requirements to upgrade it.
[Upgrade The Nefarion]
[Required Monsters: 10/10]
[Required Slaves: 0/10]
[Required DP: 3300/1000]
Actually, I have already done most of the things that are required. The only thing missing is slaves. Yes, I needed to find slaves. But I still don't know how to enslave people.
[Killing a criminal is enough to enslave them. Once you kill them, they will revive and have to be your slave.]
A criminal?
[To enslave someone, they need to have a certain criminal interest or have committed a crime. For example, they need to be a murderer, a thief, or have committed other crimes. Or being prone to crime will be enough.]
Haa... Why do I need to enslave those bastards? But I don't really care, earning DP is good enough.
"So how will they collect Spiritual Mineral?"
[There are many ways to collect Spiritual Mineral. For example, by committing crimes, continuing their daily lives, or completing the "quest" given to them.]
After reading the last notification, a red notification appeared in front of me.
[Sometimes the enslaved person cannot maintain their consciousness. They start using life energy rapidly. Eventually, they die. This is called the 'Nefarium State'. After a person in Nefarium state dies, they are resurrected as a monster in Nefarion. However, it should not be forgotten that the revived person and the dead person are different individuals with the same soul.]
Hmm... Actually, I had some idea in my mind. I needed to wander around the town to gain slaves. But is it right to leave the dungeon like this?
~~~~~
I had purchased some equipment. These tools were supposed to help me complete my mission.
The first equipment was an illusion earring that had the ability to change my body shape, so that I could look like a human.
I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my body. My height had shrunk a bit. My teeth and face had softened to resemble my old self...
I quickly checked the other items.
The second item was a pair of rings. The ability of these rings was teleportation. Two rings and two users. The ring users could teleport to each other's side. I would use this ability to return to dungeon in case of an emergency. And Demonic Mana was needed to use the ring.
After some thought, I decided to buy another pair of these rings.
And I had purchased some other equipment as well. 1× ultra-rare breastplate, 1× ultra-rare shoulder armors, and a few potions for possible situations.
All of these had already cost me 3230 DP. With the last of my DP, I bought some more potions. I now had 0 DP.
"I think I'm ready to go now."
I spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Master! Where are you going?"
Onyx spoke with a curious look on her face.
"Onyx! This ring is yours. It's a special ring with a special ability. Try putting it on and using it."
I handed Onyx the ring. She took it shyly and put it on her ring finger.
"Thank you, Master!! But how should I use it?"
Onyx spoke while shaking the ring and her hand.
"Transfer Mana to the ring."
I tried to explain it simply.
"Like this?"
Onyx suddenly teleported in front of me. The ring was working faster than I expected.
Onyx slowly left the room. Yes, I had built a room for myself on the second floor. Actually, I wanted to build a room for Onyx, Raven, and Lexia too. But I didn't feel the need for it now.
No one needed to rest for long hours anyway. 2-3 hours of sleep was enough.
I went to Lexia slowly. But she was still resting.
I headed to the first floor.
"Welcome, Master!"
All the Elite Ogres greeted me. Although they were not very intelligent, they could still form simple sentences.
"Master, there hasn't been any activity around us for a few days. We're trying to expand the map by going out at night, as you ordered."
Raven started to tell me the daily report.
Taking a deep breath, I started speaking.
"Huuuhh... Raven, I need to go out. Focus on the dungeon defense only and leave the night duties. You're the leader here in case of any emergency."
I spoke to Raven while looking at her.
"Okay, Master! Please be careful outside!"
Raven spoke in her usual expression. She did everything I told her without questioning. Honestly, I feel comfortable with Raven. She was loyal, brave, and reliable.
As I was about to leave the dungeon, a notification appeared.
[Current Dungeon Boss cannot leave the dungeon. Please change the dungeon boss.]
Hmm... It was forbidden for the dungeon boss to leave the dungeon. This was predictable.
"Set Raven as the Dungeon Boss."
[Dungeon Boss successfully changed.]
I slowly stepped out of the dungeon. It was the first time I had seen the outside world. To be honest, it looked a lot like my previous world.
I took out the map I had quickly gotten from Raven and started walking towards the nearest town.
After about 3 hours of walking, I noticed a cave on the side of a mountain. The entrance to the cave looked similar to my dungeon.
"Is that a dungeon?"
