It has now been 5 days since I gained the ability to summon a fairy. Fairies cost 25 Mp each so I could have summoned one two days ago but I wanted to summon them together. I didn’t want one of my fairies to feel left out because that would be mean. I always got left out in my last life so I want to make sure that nobody is left out in my dungeon. I’m very excited to have my first intelligent species.
Sorry Aka I know your int stat is high but that doesn’t mean you are intelligent.
I was considering getting the telepathy skill first but I don’t really want to wait around and would rather give my dungeon a power spike right now. Without the cost reduction Aka would have cost me 10 Mp to summon so investing 50 Mp into summoning should wield great results.
Based off of the information that I got from ‘Appraisal’, fairies liked nature which is not something my dungeon is great at providing for them. Most of my dungeon is made out of stone at the moment so I really hope the get taken in by the appeal of the mushroom room. I have Aka and the goblins come over to the edge of the mushroom room so that way they can introduce themselves to the fairies after I summon them. Hopefully they aren’t bothered by the fact I can’t talk to them yet.
‘Dungeon Menu!’
I go to the ‘Summon Creatures’ option of the menu and look at the screen that pops up.
Fairy 25Mp ? Fire Serpent 10Mp(-5Mp) R Mushroom 0Mp C Goblin 2Mp C
Now that I think of it there are other options for what to summon but it doesn’t feel right to not summon the fairies after gaining the ability to do so. Actually I could have summoned monsters instead of researching the fairies if I wanted a power spike but that was then and this is now. I focus on the ‘Summon Fairy’ option and think about using the option twice. The screens in front of me disappear as I feel 50 Mp drain out of me leaving me completely out of mana. The air in front of me begins to shimmer as 2 silhouettes slowly materialize. The silhouettes begin to take on a feminine shape and two pairs of wings slowly start to grow out of each of their backs. The two pairs of wings on their backs resemble dragonfly wings. Once the summoning magic stops there are two fairies floating in the air in front of me. They both share a bewildered expression on their face as they check their surroundings. As they twirl around in the air to examine their new surroundings their dresses flutter around. One is wearing a long, black, sleeveless, dress and the other is wearing a long, white, sleeveless, dress both with long hair the same color as their dresses. There is a revealing large keyhole back of their dresses that lets their wings out so that they can use them showing their pure white skin. Surprisingly they don’t seem to need to flap their wings to keep in the air like I expected. This makes me believe that they must have some proficiency in magic. I guess I should confirm how strong they are.

“Hey sis, where are we?” asked the one in the white dress.
“I think we got summoned by that core sis.” replied the other.
“Your right our souls are linked to it now.”
Huh? Is the reason they can’t leave the dungeon because of that? If I can remove that then it will make getting info about this world a lot easier. I wouldn’t be able to command them so I need to make sure I can trust them.
“Hey sis, let’s go explore the dungeon!” exclaims the one in white.
“Oh, ok I guess we will need to do it eventually.” replies the one in black.
I was going to name them but now that I have summoned them I don’t really know if I should. They seem to be quite smart compared to what I expected so since they can think on their own I think they should choose. No, it is not because I am bad at naming things.
“Bye bye!” says the one in white as they walk past the monsters while I go with them to see what they think of my dungeon.
“Don’t you think it is odd that there are no traps in this dungeon?” asks the one in black.
“Yah this dungeon core must be an idiot. There are not traps and they only have 3 monsters.” comments the one in white.
“Isn’t this dungeon kinda shity?” asks the one in black.
That hurts. My monsters just said my dungeon was shity.
“Maybe we can fix it for the dungeon core.” suggests the one in white.
“They are probably too stupid to understand us. Look try appraising them, they don’t even have mind magic to communicate with.”
Damn the one in black is so mean! I’m not stupid!
“Look they just put this empty room on the side what is this supposed to be?” asks the one in white.
“It was probably not smart enough to realize it doesn’t do anything there.”
There she goes again!
“Hey dungeon core if you can understand us float up and down.” says the white one.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
I float up and down a bit to show that I understand them.
“Huh, well that makes this easier.” says the one in black.
What does she mean by makes this easier?
“Look stupid, you need to start summoning monsters and traps you have 10 Mp/day you should have monsters in each of these rooms to distract adventurers so that way they will not notice traps. You need to start summoning goblins it doesn’t matter what level you make them because they will eventually level up from combat experience. This is a dungeon so even if they die they will revive. Just have your goblins pull adventurers into the traps and kill both them. They can understand complicated commands so you should make use of them. For now create a pitfall trap in a room with the goblins. Maybe after they fight the snake so that way the adventurers are worn out and can be killed easier.”
What do you mean dungeon monsters revive?
Where is my tutorial nobody ever told me this! Well I guess I have one now but I wish I had one earlier.
“Sis, the core doesn’t have any Dp saved they can’t.” says the one in white.
“Huh!? They don’t have any saved? What did they spend it on it is not like they have anything in here.”
Hey, that is harsh. I have Aka he is a power house. Soon he will be a legendary dragon!
“Hey, sis! Check out these mushrooms!” exclaims the one in white.
The one in black just looks at the mushrooms in horror for a while before slowly turning her head towards me.
“Don’t tell me you have been spending all your Dp and Mp on mushrooms? Your not that stupid right?”
No they cost 0 Mp I swear!
“While I guess it is alright since we need a rooms to live in anyways. It would have been nice if you could have made a tree.” says the one in black as she slowly descends onto one of the mushrooms to sit down.
As she is about to fall on the mushroom it starts to expand and a small green glow can be seen radiating around the mushroom.
In surprise the one in black exclaims, “Sis! These mushrooms are all really close to evolving. They evolved just from my mana zone!”
That is a new term. I’ll have to ask what a mana zone is once I get the telepathy skill. Maybe it is like a magic shield that is invisible. Curious as to what is happening to the mushroom I check.
‘Appraisal!’
Poisonus Mushroom
What it evolved into a poisonous mushroom just from being near her? That is amazing! As expected of a fairy.
As the one in white drift close to a mushroom is starts to shimmer and then after settling down is faintly glowing white.
‘Appraisal!’
Radiance Mushroom
This mushroom continues to glow like a torch. Take that eerie torch who needs you anyways. You cost a whole Dp!
“I wonder why the dungeon core never had their snake evolve these it has a dense enough magic zone to do it.”
I didn’t know! How could I? Lay off!
I command Aka to leave his room and come over to the mushrooms. Stopping him just at the edge of the room I have him slowly approach one of the mushrooms. As he slithers closer one of the mushrooms suddenly has a bright red flame come off of it. Aka what are you doing? Stop burning the mushrooms I just want you to get close to it! Despite what I command Aka the mushroom doesn’t stop burning to I decide to appraise it.
‘Appraisal!’
Firestorm Mushroom
To think that something like this exists. Well it is a fantasy world so I don’t know what I was expecting.
Hopefully the gas that is around the poisonous mushroom isn’t combustible because otherwise this whole room will explode. Thankfully the worst case scenario was avoided and the room did not blow up.
I command Aka to go next to a few more mushrooms and they also go through the same evolution. I think this must have something to do with my title I got.
“Sis stay out of the room for a second I don’t think your mushrooms are as good in combat.” says the one in black.
She is even this cold to her sister!
Surprisingly her sister leaves the room with a smile on her face flying above the mushrooms so she doesn’t evolve them and then watches her sister in anticipation. The fairy in black begins flying around the room evolving all of the mushrooms while Aka slithers in between the mushrooms. As their paths intertwine the flames coming off of the mushrooms quickly turn to a shade of dark green color as the heat coming off of them becomes much more intense. Although Aka seems to be fine in the mushrooms the fairy in black doesn’t seem to be able to stand the heat and is flying to quickly get out of the room now that is now glowing with fire. The fairy sisters leave the area but Aka stays in the mushrooms seeming to like this room much more than his previous room. Hopefully the poison coming off the mushrooms doesn’t affect him. I quickly follow behind the fairy sisters not wanting to be left behind.
“Sis that was really cool.” says the fairy in white.
“Yep, leave it to your big sister!” shouts the one in black.
“How do we know you are older sis?” asks the one in white.
“While I was done summoning first so that means I am older.” says the one in black with a smug smile on her face.
No I was there you were summoned at the same time. I won’t spoil her fun though and tell the one in white. Not that I can anyways since I can’t communicate with them yet.
“Now this dungeon has some proper defences I can be sure you will be safe sis.” says the one in black.
“Thank you big sis!” says the white one with a precious smile on her face that makes me wish I had a camera.
“Hey dungeon core, move your puzzle trap to be in the room with the mushrooms that way they have to be in the mushrooms to solve it.” demands the one in black.
I have to say this fairy is full of good ideas this way I can raise my minions levels and also make it harder to get into my core room. Not sure how to move the trap I just float in place and watch the fairies hoping the will explain how to. After waiting for almost a minute the fairy in black gets impatient and shouts.
“Hey! Listen! Move the trap idiot!”
“Big sis it is an idiot maybe it doesn’t know how to.” says the one in white.
No not you too. Traitor!
“Well then I guess I will explain. Just focus on the trap and focus on a new location and as long as there are no intruders in the dungeon you can move it.” explains the one in black.
Doing as she says, I focus on the door similar to how I select the options in the ‘Dungeon Menu’ and use ‘Dungeon Sense’ to focus on the pathway after the mushroom room and the door starts to shimmer before appearing in the mushroom room with the Rubik’s Cube in the flaming mushrooms. Thankfully the Rubik’s Cube is “Sturdy” so it doesn’t melt. Aka also seems to be fine with the poisonous mushrooms since they can’t burn him making it impossible for the poison to enter him. I guess this means that the poison won’t just spread through the air which is good since it would probably kill my goblins.
I summon two new mushrooms for the fairies to sit on and the one in white turns them into ‘Radiance Mushrooms’ before the two fairies sit down on them. The one in black must have turned off her magic zone since the mushroom she sat on didn’t start oozing poison or something. The two fairies seem to be ready to go to sleep which surprises me since my other dungeon monsters have never gone to sleep before.
----------------------------------------
The next morning, the fairies wake up and don’t seem hungry which is good since I have no food for them if they do need to eat. After waking up the fairy in black starts off by criticizing my dungeon again and make me develop a plan which was entirely made by her. She goes over it with me many time making sure I understand my priorities as if I am some child who could not take care of themselves. The summary of her plan is like this.
1. Make a variety of traps.
2. Make more monsters.
3. Expand the dungeon.
4. Gain the mind magic skill.
5. Evolve monsters.
She says this is the order that I should do things in but she is clearly wrong so I won’t follow her plan. My plan looks like this.
1. Gain the mind magic skill.
2. Make a variety of traps.
3. Make more monsters.
4. Expand the dungeon.
5. Evolve monsters.
After all, I need to get the mind magic skill first so that way she doesn’t treat me like an idiot anymore. She is even starting to rub off on her sister who also has begun to refer to me as an idiot. I need to put a stop to this before it gets any further out of hand.
