First thing first. I need to end the dungeon war. I can’t send one powerful beast so I will do the opposite. Send an absurd number of low-level monsters. Skeletons are only 20 DP. I’ll send waves of skeletons until the other dungeon is defeated. I sent off the first wave with instruction that if they saw any humans in their travels they were to show their nonaggression with a simple thumbs up then keep walking.

I need to solve the issue of what happens when Hiro shows up. He’s easily entertained. The plan is to give the slaves another script to follow. I teleport into the town and am greeted by the puddle lady stabbing me through the chest with a spear. I hold my hands out in the ‘what the fuck?’ gesture. “Why you do this?”

She drops the spear and begins to run.

“Why are you running?” I yell like Captain Alex as I chase her through the town. I chase her around the fancy buildings that I bought for them, accumulating a hoard of demihumans chasing after me. We get to the town square and the ground falls out from under me. I fall into a small hole. It’s only about nine feet deep, but I’m still physically stuck in it. Demihumans peer down at me from the top.

“What’s the big idea?”

“We will not be subject to your tyranny any longer!”

“Tyranny?”

“It is every person's duty to struggle to abolish any unjust hierarchies. You are keeping us as slaves.”

Who let them read Emma Goldberg? “Where was that attitude when you were enslaved to humans?”

“The humans never allowed us the freedom to rebel.”

I see why. I give them everything they could want and these people thank me by putting me inside of a hole. I’ve spoiled them and they act this ungrateful! I should just force them to comply. Revoke all the privileges I gave them. Force them to work 12 hours a day. Have breeding stocks so they pump out more babies so I get more DP.

But that would be inefficient.

It’s hard to oversee those programs. I don’t have time to constantly observe them. Who could I leave in charge of forcing them to comply? Lillia? She’s useless.

No, the only efficient option is for them to govern themselves. To make themselves happy. Even if they were not my slaves it’s not like they could leave the dungeon.

In the time it took me to think of a solution they had begun throwing dirt back into the hole. It was up to my knees. I teleport to the side of the hole and am greeted by an array of weapons being pointed at me. “I have decided to give you your freedom.”

A cheer goes through the crowd.

“With a few conditions.”

The cheer dies out.

“One, you will live in the dungeon and produce many babies. Two, you will ask me if you need anything, just scream at the sky enough until I answer. Three you will not try to leave, seriously, it’s a hundred miles through the worse types of terrain. You will die if you try to leave. Four, you occasionally play games with HIro.”

They look uneasy. “I don’t need your answer. I hereby free you all from my slavery.”

With those magic words the collars begin to crumble to dust. Demihumans quickly feel their necks for the first time in years then turn to their brethren and hug each other.

“Yes yes, very joyous. Once more I bring you gifts. I walk to an open field and begin to spew forth animals for them to raise. Cows, goats, chickens, pigs, sheep, the standard farm stock. I was going to give them a sheepdog to help with herding, but as I eye the dog type demihumans, I think they have that covered.

“Old world animals!” One yells.

The demihumans rush out to inspect their old world brethren.

“I require three of you to follow me,” I announce. The whole point of coming to this place was for me to give Hiro another game to play. Three people approach me with great reverence. They kneel in front of me. “You required us, great lord Anon.”

“Yall change tunes too quickly. You pointed a spear at me just two minutes ago.”

“Yes, but now you have given us the ultimate gift.”

“Freedom?”

“MEAT!”

Fucking dog people. Either way I teach them to play Murder Msytery/Wherewolf/Amogus. They will soon teach the other villagers how to play and then if Hiro can find the murderer he will discover the secret location to the dungeon core. EZ AF
