She situated herself back in to the chair as quickly as she could and was about to hug the box again when her eyes swept over the ring again and she had the urge to try out her new skill. She placed the box on the table and picked up the ring again and gasped when she got back the description for it. This was a true treasure.
[Small spatial ring. Hand crafted by the dungeon. It has a dimensional space that is stable. Can not store living animals. Twenty feet by twenty feet. Drop a drop of blood on it to bind it to yourself. Indestructible.]
Just the fact that the dimensional space was stable is amazing but she could also bind it to herself. But the part that shocked her the most was that this cute little ring was indestructible.
How was that even possible?! She tried to ask the system for more information but it ignored her. She would have to find out for herself apparently. She would take it to the dwarves when she left the dungeon.
She pressed her index finger against her sharp canine and pierced her finger to drop blood on the ring. Then she sucked on her finger as she watched the ring change to a deeper black and settle down.
She pulled her finger out of her mouth and slipped the ring onto it and watched in amazement as it shrunk down and glued to her finger. She could still remove it but she was confident it wouldn't slip off her finger randomly. Her system dinged again and she pulled up the notifications.
[Congratulations! You have a storage ring. If you would like to see it's inventory at any time you may click on the ring tab in your status panel to see your inventory.]
It was really there! Right when she opened her status panel she now had a ring tab she could click on. It was currently greyed out indicating that it was empty.
She was giddy with joy though so she jumped on to the table and scooped up the food into her ring and watched as her inventory filled with wonderous fruits and vegetables she had never heard of. Where did all these wonders come from?! She quickly looked down at the jerky in her hand and used her skill to identity it.
[Greater prairie chicken jerky. Loot drop from the fourth floor. It's not great but it would probably make a decent stew.]
She laughed in delight. This dungeon was really generous. It led her to the safe zone and fed her and even gave her a spatial ring. She was excited to spend a few decades here. She would take it slow and try not to die as much as possible. She turned her attention back to her mystery box and hugged it with utter delight written across her face.
She prayed to the system to give her something she would always be able to use and the box started glowing brightly before dimming once more. She did not glow this time so she decided to open the box to see her prize. It was a beautiful black dress with gold hemming. It wasn't very thick or thin. It had long sleeves but she didn't think it would make her uncomfortably hot. She used her new skill on it and gasped and hugged it to her chest like it was her first born child.
[Congratulations! You have acquired the NEW Queen Battle Dress. It feels like fabric but it's not. It's special spider web taken from a certain new dungeon by the system and dyed. It has an always clean enchantment, Queens are never dirty. It also has a self repair enchantment. Requires the users mana to do repairs. Can handle attacks from level thirty five and below. Can be enhanced by adding high quality ores and gems.]
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
This would last her a lifetime if she could find the right ores and gems to add to it. She thanked the system over and over again in her heart as she jumped down from the chair putting the box back on the table.
She stripped off her old simple dress and quickly slipped into the comfortable dress. It even had a long hood to cover her face when she was out. She doubted anyone would be able to tell she was a fox person if they saw her now.
She gives off an intimidating aura that makes people want to stay away from her rather than her usual charming fox aura. She did a couple of spins so she could see her dress fluttering in the breeze. She was so in love. She was excited to see what her third item would be.
She sat back down trying to contain all the joy she was feeling. She was even humming a tune. She picked up the box again and hugged it with all her might as she prayed to the system for something that would last her a lifetime.
The box began glowing again and then dimmed again so she opened the box once more and was dumbfounded. She was starting to notice a theme here. She used her skill to identity her last gift from the system.
[Congratulations! You have acquired the NEW Queen's scepter. Made from adamantine made in a certain dungeon prematurely. The system has taken advantage to give you an enchanted weapon fit for a Queen. Enchanted to shoot fireballs using the users mana. Enchanted to help the user consume less mana during spells. Enchanted to always keep your mind clear. You should try smashing some heads with it some time. Drop a drop of blood onto it to bond with it. Indestructible.]
She was right! There is a theme. The system definitely wants her to go home and straighten out her past. There was only one option for her apparently. She would have to become Queen. She brought the scepter closer to her face and looked at the metal while comparing it to her ring.
It looked like the same material. Was that the reason why the ring was considered indestructible? That's so neat. She had so much wealth already and she had only been here a few days. She looked around the room and didn't see anything else she could take.
She was sure the dungeon wouldn't like her taking it's furniture. She would be back anyway. She wasn't in a rush to complete the dungeon. She would start by mapping out each floor as best as she could.
She grabbed her scepter, drop a single drop of blood onto it like she did the ring and opened the door feeling extra brave with her new items from the system. She didn't have any paper or anything to write with but she was a hunter. She had grown up in the wild. It was easy for her to make a mental map. With her nose as her guide she would always find her way. She heard the ding reminding her she had left the safe zone. She didn't bother to open it. She didn't want to be distracted.

I'm so frustrated right now! I really want that box! The system is so biased. I'm not quite sure what happened when she was glowing. An educated guess is she got a skill but that's not certain yet. Once she opened the box and pulled out the dress and scepter I was certain she received a skill first.
It was a beautiful dress. I would wear it if I could. It looks great with her pale skin and silver hair. She looks like an angel from a different world. Which actually might be the case.
Oh? It looks like she's going to venture out and explore my dungeon. I tell my foxes and wolves to stay hidden and call out my voles and giant rats to see what she's made of. I did say wave tactics were for cute girls didn't I? Tehehe.
I'm excited to see what happens. I do plan on taking it easy on her. I doubt she has a very high level after all. When I run my senses over her she feels weaker than my second floor ferrets. But it's not a sure thing seeing as I don't have an analyze skill. I want to let her wander around the floor and see what she does before I send a vole after her.
She seems smart, very cautious. I like her. The system is so selfish. I want a cute fox girl to keep me company for the rest of eternity. I would spend what ever dp was necessary so she could respawn if she was ever killed. She's just so cute and hard working.
[Absolutely not. Stop acting like a child. She has a bigger destiny than you if she can grasp it.]
Booooo. Get out of my head system.
