I was summoned with knowledge far greater than any of those that came before me. A collective consciousness of interwoven minds feeding me during my summoning. Helping me know what I need to, and more importantly, what I must not do.

So why is it that whenever my Master wants me to do something, I instinctively want to say no and do the opposite?

"Becca, come on. We're going," she told me we were going somewhere with the name she had given me. I really liked it too, but I huffed at her when she said it for the first time. I really wanted to go with her, but I also didn't. Like it would be burdensome for me to be around her. Even though that's all I want. All any of us want.

I know this because I know them. Even though I've never met them, I know that Talia is The Taskmaster who works in the Retreat. Ali is The Chef who trains others in her craft and oversees most of the food produced by the dungeon in Varona. I know Light is strong and Noir is loud, that Carrie is cold and Dropper is wiser than her looks suggest.

I know this, so why is it when my master made a place specifically for Dragons, even though she didn't have to and she staffed it using the very system that created the dungeons, why do I not want to go there?

"No. I don't want to. I'll stay here," I told her defiantly, even though I wanted to go. I really did, but why can't I just stay here on her futon for a while? What's the big deal?

I mean, I get it. I do. She's my Master. She summoned me. This woman who is smaller than me, even with my human form shrunk as low as it will go. This little packet of power I'm able to see with my mana-infused senses. She's strong enough to slap me into eternity, so why is it that I want to challenge her?

She's my master. I should listen to her commands without question, just like the others do. I should follow their example as they suggested at my birth, but I just don't want to. I want to do what I want to do. Not what they say. But... I really want to listen to my Master too. I just...

My Master apparently didn't take no for an answer as in a flash I was laid in front of a magnificent Palace. Well, for human standards that is. It wouldn't accommodate my true body if I decided to release my transformation inside.

I hid my satisfaction and picked myself up from the floor, but secretly thanked my Master on the inside for providing me with this castle. It's almost as big as some of the major features in town and with Sis here I'm sure it will end up larger. It will need to be if my Master decides to summon more of us.

The triplets seemed to like it, but they don't really stray far from her side. I really want to thank her, but I am definitely not saying those words to her face. There's no chance that's happening because I... I just can't.

What can I do to show her that I'm grateful for this place she has rewarded me with? There are lots of things here, many of which I haven't seen before but somehow know they're activities for fun. That said, the one in the corner looks easy enough as all I have to do is hit it with the sticks provided to make sweet music.

With that I begin performing Wrath of the Rebellion Dragon. Composed, performed and given as a thank you by Rebecca to Abi.

Although, I don't think she liked it very much because after eyeing me doing my thing, she shortly left. That left only Sis to appreciate my greatness and listen to the rest of the beat. Next time Master visits I'll be a master myself.

Dungeon Stories

----------------------------------------

Waking up to the fire's warm embrace is the best feeling ever. Almost as good as being able to stretch out my kinks, unobstructed by dragons or dungeon-creating women. More so when they're not glaring at me and getting ready to explain how poor my efficiency is.

Waking up in my Domain is almost as good as waking up in my tower was when it was just me. The sunrise over Varona is just the best sight in the world. Then again, I suppose views like that are even better when shared with others. Aslong as they can appreciate them.

The book I was reading is still next to me on the floor and I can't help but think about similarities between what I read and Dungeon monsters, specifically my own summons. Even more specifically, Light.

I know he is some type of beast, debatable, and I know Sophie isn't some captive human, also kinda debatable, but the similarities are there. Either that or I'm just looking too much into it after seeing Sophie's belly. Hell, I'm surprised I didn't find a pregnancy book...

I look toward the bookcase before shaking myself off and getting up. I'm not even going to look. I've had a lovely sleep and I wonder how long it's been since shit got weird. Hopefully the awkwardness is over and we can get on with things. Like my list of back stock.

Exiting the bubble, the triplets are still in the tower and Amber is still mid-bite on the genitalia-shaped chocolate. Not a single one of them seems to have moved and neither has the position of the sun since I used my Domain.

How is that possible?

Did she deliberately wait to eat it in front of me just to weird me out? No, the Dragons are mischievous, my three slightly less so, but they wouldn't do that on purpose. Plus, the sun hasn't moved an inch. Unless I've just slept for 24hours which is highly unlikely. In that case there's only one other answer.

I can control time!

Well, at least in Divinity's Domain I can. After going back in and experimenting for a little bit, it turns out I can alter the speed of time. I can't make it any faster and neither can I turn it back, but I can slow it to any pace I want upto and including stopping it completely. Maybe I'll be able to do more once it levels up? That's just wishful thinking on my part because Divinity's Presence never levelled once on its own. It was only because the Lord of the Hay granted my wish that I'm still alive to complain about it.

Maybe there's a cool down on his wishes? I could max my Domain no problems then, but I doubt it's that easy. I wasn't actually expecting him to upgrade my presence as I joked about it, but that was my wish gone. Over. Finito.

"If that's not gone in five seconds, I'm absorbing it," Amber swallows the whole thing down in one go after my offhanded threat. I'm happy that it's gone, but the sight was not pretty. I'm going to do my utmost best to ignore that this ever happened and I'm going to chastise the shit out of Light next time I see him.

That said, I can't believe he's allowed a second class. That's amazing. What should he choose? I didn't even think about asking that before I ran off with the girls. I just didn't know how to handle the situation

Now that I've had time to process it... I still don't know what I'm going to say when I see them. Maybe I'll just act like that never ever happened either... It seems like something Abi the Wise would do.

Or is it more like Abi the Cowardly?

I really want to talk to Light about that second class, but I just can't face either of them right now. Instead I teleport to the forest to see how Me's handling the monster vs adventurer problem. I haven't really had the time to ask him ever since I delegated him to the role.

"Hey buddy," I wave as we arrive. Triplets in tow, we walk up to see Me scrubbing down a strange object. What is it with him and cleaning things? Does he want a stupid quirk too just because everyone else has one? He already says 'quite' quite too often for my liking and that's already considered his quirk. He doesn't bloody need another one.

Sighing is my go to method of venting these days and it seems to be all I'm doing recently. Other than lashing out at Sis, which I apologised for terribly. I should really put some effort into her tower when I make it. That should make her happy.

"Abi? What are you doing here and why have you brought the Dragons? They're scaring the monsters."

"Sorry. I didn't think of that. I just assumed the monsters would see them as part of the dungeon."

"Not these monsters. I've set all their intelligence to zero so they're just mindless creatures. Just as wild monsters should be. I even applied the technique to the spawners." He continues working on the sandy-coloured shell as I process what he said.

"Wait... You've got Goblinators out here? Is that what that is?" I point at the object he's cleaning in disgust.

"Not every monster spawner has to be related to Goblins, you know? In fact for someone who claims to hate them so much, I do wonder why that was the first place your mind went," he chuckles. "And to answer your question, yes. This is a Cave Troll spawner. The adventurers in Varona are advancing rather well under the guidance of Hana and Mira. A lot of them are closing on their second advancement. I hear that's a pretty amazing accomplishment for a regular human."

"It is! They haven't even been here that long." I'm actually quite shocked at their progress myself. That is an amazing achievement and I doubt they'll stop there. With me supplying them a steady amount of monsters to level up with they're probably going to aim their sights even higher. What are we going to do when they hit their third advancement and we become a city full of powerhouses?

I know it bodes well for our defences, but when our little city pops up out of nowhere and is filled with people of levels unseen in this world for a long time, what am we going to say?

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't have to say anything. That's what Mayor Kana is for and if she fails... Sacha will handle it. It'll be fine. After seeing us firsthand, it's not likely anyone will actually try and pick a fight us. Hell, even the King might be wary of us. Not that I know how strong his army is, but I reckon that's where the strongest people in the continent would be.

What I do know is that the Dragon is somehow related to the King. There are no sightings for years, but the one time he attacks Gorn a Dragon just happens to shows up. That's more than just a coincidence. Also, if he can control Dragons, how does that bode for me.

How many Dragons does he have? Does he have more than I do? Then again I can make more with a thought. Will he be able to seize control of my Dragons? I don't know, but even if he could I doubt Becca would listen to him. She doesn't even listen to me. Actually, she probably would listen to him just to spite me. That damn... rebellious Dragon.

"So other than humans advancing well and monsters being mindless is everything else good?" I ask, getting ready to move on to my final task of the day. It feels strange that it's already so late in the day, but it's my own fault for sleeping in my Domain. I woke up less than two hours ago. I had dinner for breakfast with Anya and the girls, followed by a humiliating visit to Light's.

I don't think I'm ever going to step foot in that house again. I can't. It's just too much.

The sun began to set as we arrived at Me's and it won't be long before it disappears completely. Gone until tomorrow.

"Quite." There it is. "Can you double my funds?" He asks, looking away knowing I'm probably going to ask why, or say what for? This time though, I agree happily.

Me does a good job at whatever he does. He's dependable and actually knows the ins and outs of the dungeon gig better than I do. I also said yes because out of everything I've heard and everything that's happened in the last few days, his request seems like the most normal thing ever.

"You got it, buddy. Love ya, Me." I leave him flustered as we take our leave. Me, the triplets and a very worried-looking bear cub in Violet's arms.
