At the age of 15 for this body i am now 44 years old.
Amelia looks the same as the second time i met her the first time she was fat with pregnancy. Alexis looks the same with slightly longer silver hair. Melly …. Looks …..like a women toned. A slight definition of muscle and curves in all the right places… a bubble butt. And a c+... why am i telling you all this… its tradition in light novels to fixate on all the female features… honestly if i talked about how smart she was… most guys would be turned off.
I have actually adjusted. My life style.. My bedroom is nothing more than a barracks. Barracks style showers. I actually had this lifestyle before. When i was in the service…
The major difference i was not a growing boy. And the people who were staying with me where not women.
However while at some point it is nice. At others not so much… while i am aware that the women look good.. I grew up with these same women and none of them have changed in appearance since i knew them.
As for masturbating… well men and women do it.. I simply curl up in bed face the wall cover myself with a blanket and then clean up the mess afterwards… that is the extent of privacy i am allowed. I of course often wait till night. But again i grew up with these people.
It is not like i am making tons of noise moaning out in lusty manner…
In prep school i actually found that while i am rich and decent looking women's advances just don't bother me.
I remember the first few confessions were difficult for me… until i realized… that while i had never really talked to majority of these people. They actually did not know me either..so they wanted something from me and it probably had to do with money.
Now not saying every girl who confessed to me was after money however i was a heir… i needed to have strategic relationships… also i am an elf… a human women really should not be on the list of women i can date.
It was a simple solution… i found. I made a application process...yeah a real application..
It asked for their family background up to 3 generations… what their family would gain from an alliance with me. If a relationship where to start. What my family would gain from them. Who their current competitors where all the way down to local mom and pop stores.
If information was not given when there was information to be had then the application would be deleted. They would have to try again. Then melony the AI and a few guards would do background checks.
There was also other sections.. The application process to date me grew over time. To make it harder for someone to actually date me… also when an application was declined we had to work at a reason why they could not date.
Strangely this became a popular past time. With the females of the classes… because i would look down the timeline and give reasonable reasons why it would not work…. Unfortunately for the boys it made it harder for them to get a date also. The girls would copy an application of mine then when a boy confessed to her… well there were a lot of single guys in my school while i was there. In fact a lot of single teachers also.
Because this caused trouble for the girls and boys of my school… once i had some money i pretty much blew it all on purchasing and retrofitting expedition busses for dungeon exploration.
I purchased a lot of older busses… and slowly changed them… none of them however were armed… i left that up to the explorers who rode the busses.
Besides buying arms for a vehicle that where more than side arm or a rifle got expensive.
We would send out invites to people who were scholarship students. The lower classes.
Fill up the busses and then get a time slot on holidays. To go out into the dungeon.
Several of the busses also served as bunks with kitchens. Showers and laundromats. For teams.
We had a med truck… and one small armory. Besides my bodyguards and my own programs bots to provide a safe place to camp within a dungeon.
We pretty much helped to create teams…
Money may not solve problems… however it sure helps to create the opportunity to do so… i also spent less money than a ship buying each of these buses and upgrading them.
I earned good will. And personally i did not try to collect any money from these other students.
A lot of these students hoped to get on a ships crew and experience was needed they also got to purchase better equipment.
A ship dungeon would have been able to give them mob characters as support. While dungeon diving…
I was able to give each team some mobs… a simple tablet with controls on it would do for them.
(rereading this chapter. i noticed here that i started talking about advanced buildings and barracks..but i did not tell you how i got them.... This was repurchasing the program from the city dungeon. It was that pirated starcraft game. I am useing it again to create mobs.)
Allow the barracks to create some mob marines they would go over and gather the mobs directly from the barracks to their team. And off they would go.
If they wanted advanced mobs they had to go to an advanced building pay the building in mana points to create for them since there was a contract with the school about how much mana could be taken… the advanced buildings. Would slowly gather mana. Then build a vulture tank or goliath. For the base camp. If a team wanted one or a few they would have to give there own mana to create the mob.

It all had something to do with ecology of a dungeon and balance...i took the class… but to be honest i never really worried about it… now a days you just let a computer. Monitor so you don't take too much from a contract dungeon.
Wild dungeons like the one our clan unsuccessfully tried to mine… are mined so the dungeon does not grow. Not to kill the dungeon off.
There are dungeons out there in space that go crazy. They try to retake their own ship… there a lot of backup redundancies. To keep a ship from going crazy. It has something to do with holders.
However just being a dungeon core will not make you go crazy if your out of a holder… it takes time.
For instance my dungeon core can only have 5000 mp points i would need to upgrade my holder… however my holder is now part of my body… so i can't upgrade it. Instead i have to store extra mana points in basically mana banks once i get a ship.
Those refineries i mentioned earlier will help me out once i get a ship again.
There also different types of dungeons within the contract dungeons.
The one we are currently in is part of the the dungeon for Rokita where in the school section. You have to set up in advance. Before you come to the dungeon.
If we had gone to the the city of Spenolif… you would have to worry about more then your life from the dungeon. There are rogue adventures.. Who will knock down a rookie adventure group.
For now we are safe… in the future planning needs to be done… After all the majority of these adventures are teenage kids… who want to become famous heros… there going to be aggressive over confident.
I mean if you think about it we have groups of teens running around in enchanted armor with sharp metal sticks.
Do you remember high school i actually don't but i know at one point i did.
The med station was put to use and always had someone in there.
As groups splintered and reformed i noticed that some would form small groups… to help keep them safe i passed out more tablets for 200mp each. They could hunt on there own if they felt they needed to. I did not worry about it to much.
One of my upgrades… the flame bat… turned into a dud…. Ill have to talk to that other dungeon and explain that the magical flamethrower does not work because it uses up it mp so fast. I will also have to probably make flamethrowers bigger so they can hold larger tanks… i'm thinking of a potion shop that make napalm. Try to keep these bots as low power in mp as possible.
As the students go to higher levels… i noticed that the bots are dying much faster that's obvious however these mob characters need to level up.
Maybe i need to introduce a level up program on bots as they kill mobs they collect mp to upgrade themselves to a higher level… or come back to be upgraded?
After the first successful holiday many of these upgrades were made… now i should mention… there are other clans out there some of them are more powerful than my clan… when dealing with these children… it is often difficult. Many of these clans have their own ships… that the children borrow. To go to different dungeons...It is exceedingly hard to say no to the invites.
However i must persevere. The reason is simple… while it is not illegal to be a dungeon.. It is rude to be a dungeon and masquerading as a different race...if i were to ride on one of these childrens ships. The ships dungeon would notify the heir that i was a dungeon. Most likely.
You honestly never know what people will do when someone is different than you are.
Today is another tough day… there is a young lady from a classroom just down the hall… she has a clan about equal in wealth. To my own clan. I personally do not know her at all. I did my research thanks to melody and everything on paper says she is a lovely girl…
The tough part is she is inviting me over to her home again.. There is a local dungeon near to her home… she has a fishery clan.. It is partly my own fault the school had been gifted with a large donations of fish from her clan… me not paying attention had been eating the school lunch melly the childhood friend. And i was excited about how good the lunch was… simple put she over heard and invited me several times…
This was simple family pride for her.. She not trying to date me.. However i keep begging off simple because i do not want to ride in her ship.
Currently she is waiting for a reply from me… and i have no excuse to offer her..melody my ai is also running through excuses. None of them sound well enough alone. To do justice for the decline.
The other problem is she has invited me in public at lunch again…
And the table is eerily quiet..
Ma’am allow me to visit you once i own my own ship… will you be so kind to reissue your offer at that time.?
Seeing her smile slip… I saw a look of hurt pass her face. But immediately she agreed.
Thank you kindly I say.
She went back to her table… however after that day i received no more invites to go to dungeons with any of the heirs.
I increased the busses that we had. Infact i had to purchase a small piece of land which i turned into a parking lot specifically for them. Borrowing a few simple construction bots from the main house. Was enough to get a parking garage built. With simple earth magic. A few of the guards helped set up. This was on the outer edges of the city limits
A simple security system was paid to keep an eye on it… however. While the buses were upgraded.. They were simple the cost of a few rifles. Even if they were stolen… the lose would not be much.
It really was not much more than a simple kitchen a simple bathroom and a few beds in an armored bus. Sure there were specialty busses again however each upgrade was paid for in mana points. The buses themselves were not a lot of currency.
Looking at my saving… i knew this year i would not have enough for a ship… after all this is the first year i am getting an allowance as the heir.
I might actually be 17 years old before i can afford a ship myself.. If i saved everything up… however… i do have other options to make money. I could purchase a few older used moving vans. Fill up the vans with advanced buildings from starcraft and also fill them up with advanced weapons. Then sell off the advanced mobs to adventures as they go into the dungeon. It would be good for the ones that do not have a ship of their own.
One of the biggest expenses for me the heir.. Is rent...the other is i need to be taken shopping on a regular basis… why do i need to go shopping so often… has something to do with face… i never understood it… i'm practically a miser… except when it comes to food i will splurge on that. me and my family of guards and amelia and mellie to eat… i don't go to five star restaurants ….
We go hunting for small unknow mom and pop places where we can eat sometimes we eat several times in a day.
Food in fact is one of the most expensive commodities i purchase. I have a cook however i even take the cook with me. She is an apprentice cook and her job is to practice making great meals learning different foods.. So when i go on expeditions with the class she cooks the meals for them.
Sometimes when we are home, she cooks. We go out to eat so much that it is not often she gets the opportunity she is also a student so we do our best to make life easier for her.
I hate to do dishes however… when we go on expeditions with the students. i help her with dishes. since i never allow myself to leave the basecamp.
When i turned 16 Karen lost her temper with the branch families there are a total of 11 branch families.
Using some strange mathematics she called in the heads of each branch.. There she brokered the family resources. With each branch putting them in charge of their own. Delivered through a mediator. Large amounts of documents. And simple cut off all who did not take the deal she offered.
6 of the eleven branch families did not decide to go there own way. However Karen was unhappy that two of the branches had stuck with her.
One family that was unwanted caused a lot of trouble with public relations… the other was more devious...through another years of meditating… we somehow managed to get rid of the family that was considered only trouble.
As for the last. They navigated through each deal. And are considered still part of the family… they actually tried to force a marriage between us cousins… it came down to if they try to force it karen will take her share of the pie and just leave. While this would hurt some of the family others would not be as affected. Namely us. One family focused on exploration. Another focused on shipping. Another contracts. Are family focused on management.
The last problem family focused on investments… however it was discussed that not all the money taken for investments.. Actually was invested. They also had a large security section.. Making them able to project force that even three branch families would have trouble opposing.
After the settlement… many cousins moved to my school. 2nd cousins and such… they were surprisingly friendly… and had no trouble walking up to me. I actually liked talking with some of them… you would simple start up a conversation then let there mouth rampage.. It was one way to learn about the family.
I took them on a expedition for those that were interested. And allowed them to compete. Let them instill there bragging rights… once they got used to the system… i was interested in how they would make use of the mobs.
The second time we went out more cousins went on this expedition. Once they found out i could provide mobs that were easy to control.
This was an interesting development.
I had some cousins that had no magic power… they grouped together and used the mobs both advanced and everything. Surprisingly they actually picked the protoss race of mobs… the protoss race was 90% magical construct. They delved all the way to the third floor. The terran race was 90% robotic construct…
