- I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS AGAIN! HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN ALREADY?! I TOLD YOU TO USE THE BACK DOOR, DIDN’T I ?!
[- Pff.haha..]
Jack did his best to hold his laughter in, but the dirty joke in his head wouldn’t allow him to.
Elicia’s forehead seemed like it was going to burst open.
- Is that so…
Dragon indeed had a way of telepathically communicating, so, she instinctively knew what he was thinking already.
- You better keep your eyes shut this time, else I will tear them down !
Elicia said, while simultaneously hitting jack in the eyes with both fists. They sunk into his eyes and burst them a little.
They might have both been dragons, But Jack was incomparably higher-grading than her. He was a Game-Changing Ultimate Mob, after all. So, her entire body would fit in between his eyebrows. The best she could do to give him some damage was to punch him in the eyes directly.
[- Aaaauuuch! Babe! That hurt!]
- It better has! Now get out! I don’t have anymore gems for you, besides, I’m in the middle of work!
[- But I don’t have any in my cave… and the mountain is almost hollowed by now… At least let me dig some on your place! They will re-spawn anyway!]
- I already said, GET OUT! Else, I will ask your mother to cut down on your hug limit!
Jack was wide-eyed and shocked after hearing that. After getting a job and a lot of money, he had been felling very lonely lately, so he had asked his mother for a few hugs each time.
The problem is, once he hugged her and sat on the couch, he wouldn’t get up for two days straight, even if all he was fed was bread and water...
So she limited his “hugging visits” to twice a month.
- Also, NO OPENING YOUR EYES!

[- He, she’s fine as ever. I’ve seen something good today, yep!]
Jack and Elicia were married in-game too. Even if in-game dragons had unlimited marriage slots, unless they married a higher-leveled one (that is, if you were the weak one in a dragon relationship, your partner could have as many wives as it wanted, while you could only have him), he himself decided to keep her as his only companion.
Except for a squirrel he married once for fun.
Still, to think it would absorb his Dragon King mana and overtime grown into a half-dragon squirrel-woman…
Elicia couldn’t ever know she existed. Never!
Much less that the previous squirrel was the first wife…
Anyway, as part of his “18+ bonus pack”, Jack could turn on “husband view” whenever he saw Elicia. This would allow him to see her 18+ form, as long as she kept the option as “Wife allowance” option on.
This was what he asked of her in exchange for the promise of going to her dungeon everyday at the moment he logged in to work.
He wouldn’t be able to logoff for the entirety of his workday after logging in, so this would assure her that he was working properly.
His “husband allowance” was always on as well. He had pride in his Dragon King avatars’ manliness after all.
But, again, he also tended to crash at her place at all times, and laze around digging for gems. His own den had been dug up pretty bad, after all, and he was growing tired of the volcanic island his base was located at.
The game devs had answered his message asking for a new mountain with an enigmatic “do it yourself” followed by a small-devil emoticon.
[- Do they intend to use me as a gaming wildcard to change the terrain or something?]
A drop of water appeared at Jacks’ head. He indeed could do it if he cultivated for a bit, but wouldn’t that take forever?!
[- Guess I will just find an A.I. dungeon then…]
And so, the legend of the Dungeon Buster Dragon King kept on going strong...

At the same time, in Elicia’s Dungeon.
- I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. Please resume your gaming. I will respawn the floor in a moment, so, please, don’t worry!
A small adventuring party had been resting at the Dungeon Resting Area, and some of the members had even brought out some dry meat to watch the show together.
“Why does it seems like I know that avatar…” - thought Elicia - “Is he a dungeon regular or something?”…
- It’s fine, don’t worry, we saw the sign upfront so…
“As I thought, this is ‘disaster dungeon’ indeed… to see Disaster Jack in person being eye-stabbed, I feel like justice has been served!” - Thought the level 10 half-orc adventurer, after seeing his dream of a lifetime becoming true once more.
Unknowingly to Jack, his frequent visits to Elicias’ dungeon (to the point where she had posted a sign upfront where one could read “Dragon King Danger, please keep away from 6pm to 6:15pm”) had created a new kind of attraction in Another World Project - people who felt justice was served after seeing their Dungeon-Clearing menace, Jack the Dragon King, being punished for its’ crimes.
- “Indeed, I saw something great today” - Thought the level 10 adventurer who had a particularly bad luck with Jack.
