Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 387 I Accidentally Became The Dungeon Master, Oops



—–

At the end, we decided to Summon anything for now, if we ever have a shortage of food, we’ll summon something from afar and then use [Summon] to bring it to me anywhere I am. This way we can produce meat in the dungeon easily. Of course, I have to give it a sizable amount of Mana. I am pretty sure that once it surpasses its maximum capacity of 1000000 it might Rank Up and grow bigger, which might make stronger monsters available.

But for now, I’ll simply use the dungeon as a meat dispenser while I accumulate Mana into it daily. And as for the treasures it can create? Nothing too special, they’re hard to create into treasure chests because this dungeon can only make a few very low-quality potions out of them, it can’t create gold or precious gems yet either, sometimes, a rusty iron sword or a set of rusty armor… I guess for a newbie adventurer that would be good enough.

To get anything decent at F Rank in equipment-wise, the monsters have to get defeated first. So summoning a monster and then smacking them in the ground would sometimes drop an item. Also, the dismantle function is still there, so when a monster dies it will be dismantled into items and meat and then put inside my Inventory, only when I choose to, but I can leave it on “auto”. I realized this power was actually part of my own System, normal adventurers can get items dropped from monsters inside dungeons, but not suddenly dismantle their corpses in seconds and store them inside their nonexistent inventory.

After our conversation, I was left thinking about the many things I wanted to do right now. Although my priority was still buying more resources for the village, I also was thinking on what to do. I have learned about my brother going to a completely different nation and although that relieved me a bit for knowing he won’t be easily pursued now; I am still quite worried. And then there’s the worry I have for the Demonic Tyrants… What’s up with that? Is the little spider girl really one of those things?

Ah yeah, and then the that one Ice Queen woman that froze the demons that we have yet to resolve, and then the mysterious floating island, and then the Vampires and what they might be up to! And of course, the whole crusade I have over freeing slaves… Ugh, there’s a lot to do.

But for now, we decided to drop the bomb with Julia.

“YOU WHAT?!”

As we were having dinner in her family’s house, she almost dropped her tea cup into the floor out of shock.

“Yeah, as you heard… I ended accidentally taking over the Dungeon Core using my Magic, so I ended becoming the Dungeon Master, accidentally. Now I can kind of control the dungeon a bit, and give it Mana, and summon Monsters inside of it…” I said.

“T-This is the first time I’ve ever heard that such a thing has happened! Is this even possible to begin with?!” She asked flabbergasted.

“Of course it is! Why wouldn’t it be possible?” I said while averting my gaze a bit. “I-I mean, it happened! Let me tell you why….”

At the end, I told Julia about the Vampires having boosted the Dungeon Core using souls and miasma, something she knew only half of it. After that, I told her that Dungeon developed an intelligent mind and that it had created a monstrous Dungeon Boss which we had to take care of. However (now this is where the slightly made-up story begins), the dungeon core attacked me and I had to fight it with my mind and soul, ultimately I won using my Mana and Magic because the dungeon core was too weakened after we defeated all the monsters.

“S-So it happened because the Dungeon Core attacked your soul! Incredible, I’ve heard that Necromancers can see and manipulate souls to an extent, but to think you’re able to win a fight against a Dungeon Core through your soul… You’re clearly beyond S Rank as an adventurer, Mary!” Julia said.

“Hehe… Not that much. It was super lucky to be honest… Now I feel a bit bad because you’re my friend and this dungeon belongs to your duchy, right? It supposed to bring you a lot of money to maintain the entire thing.” I sighed.

“Y-Yeah, but if you took over it, I can’t really say anything about it. Dungeons are never truly ours, we simply decide to own them as they’re within our territories, but only a Dungeon Master would truly become their owner, which is you… maybe you can take the dungeon as a part of the big debt I have for your help.” Said Julia, with an honest smile.

“What? Really?” I asked.

“Yeah! You can take it as a part of the compensation, but only with one condition…” She said.

“Condition?” I wondered.

“Of course, that we begin doing business together. Produce monsters so my people can hunt for EXP. The adventurer guild is a big part of our economy after all, the monster parts can be used for a variety of things, their Magic Crystals are essential for the production of magical items, to illuminate the streets, and to make all our utensils work properly as well.” Julia said. “Monster meat also brings us enough food to the entire population which they buy at varied prices, our production of meat through cattle is very limited and overly expensive, raising cattle is very hard and the meat produced is often all bought by the nobles here… So monster meat is essential to keep our people well feed.”

“Huh, so it is the same thing I was planning for my tiny village. But I guess for you, it is in a wider and bigger scale as you got almost a thousand here.” I sighed.

“Precisely.” Julia said.

“Well, I planned to do that already, but I’ll need to explain you a few things about how a dungeon works, so listen to me attentively.”

And like that, I began a long explanation to Julia about how Dungeons worked.

“Eh?! They cost way too much Mana!”

Ah, I knew she would react like that…
