Chapter 2 True Character

Thank you for reading my story and I hope to post many more chapters in the future. :)

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

Day by day the amount of monsters outside my dungeon increased drastically. I didn’t know why the smaller animals came to this area but the bigger beasts came here to hunt the smaller animals. Unlike the chickens and rabbits of Earth, The ones on Mauro were carnivores and even feasted on their own kind who were torn to shreds by the bigger beasts.

Seeing that I would lose nothing from opening the door and letting a few of the smaller animals in, I chose to make a sled with cushions and a seat belt. The reason I did this was because I could not remove this current door and install a new door which can be remotely controlled.  I left the bottom door open and on the other side within the dungeon I padded the area so that even though the sled would be speeding down I would not hit a wall and splatter myself. I took the sled and pulled it by a rope to the top of the stairs where I placed a bloody piece of meat on the ground and then opened the door.

As the door started to open the animals and beasts started to sniff and howl at the smell of blood and the door opening. I didn’t wait for them to come and I buckled up than slid down the stairs till I reached the bottom of the stairs, where I took out another meat and threw it in front of the door. As I hit the padding I felt like throwing up and I did but knowing I had to close the door I stood up on shaky legs. Slowly I went to the door and closed it. As the door was secured I started to throw up again for another ten minutes before I stood up and used Dungeon Eye. When I used Dungeon Eye I saw hundreds of rabbits and chickens going down the stairs to hunt their own kind. As I had gone up the stairs I had oiled down the stairs so that I could go down the stairs easily. The animals smelling the meat at the bottom of the stairs ran down in a hurry after finishing the meat at the top of the stairs. As they went down they slipped and slid coving the stairs in blood making them even more slippery and more tempting to the other animals. This created a chain reaction to the point where I was getting kill messages one after the other until I jumped to level 10.

Two days later all of the small animals had entered the stairway and had gone towards the bottom and only 3 chickens and 2 rabbits were next to the bottom door. The animals could not go back up the stairs because of the oil and blood covering the stairs. I took two guns and like in movies and books I had read I opened the door and shot at the animals but unlike the media I ended only killing a chicken with the 12 bullets I had shot. The reason I only killed one was due to the fact that duel wielding was hard and I was shaking as I was shooting so most of the bullets hit far above their heads. Since the guns had no bullets and were useless I threw them on the ground. Not thinking properly when the animals started running towards me I forgot to pull out new guns outside my inventory and I stared to run towards my house. As I entered the house I realized how stupid I just acted so I went to the basement and stored five of the refrigerators. With the refrigerators stored I went towards the door and using Dungeon Eye placed a refrigerator above each of the animals and they were gone.

When I was done with all the animals I checked the surface and stairway and saw that there were no longer animals in sight and the big monsters not being able to enter the dungeon chose to leave the area. I spent 20 hours just cleaning up the mess I had made on the stairs and when I was done I was finally able to once again go out on the surface and breathe fresh air in the open. When I looked at my current Mana I learned that I had killed/ caused the death of 200 animals of which 120 were chickens and 80 rabbits. I had even gained a title for my actions

Wanting to see what changed I called my stat menu and the loot inventory.

Looking at my two menus I saw that the new title would help me keep this area clear of monsters so I might be able to upside once in a while. The drumsticks were a good thing in an emergency but I would only eat them if I was about to die because I know that blood does carry harmful bacteria. The crystal seems to be what can be used for the amber womb. I knew that I had to allocate the unassigned points to be able to survive in this new world.

I had 45 unassigned points so I started to look at what I could increase. As I said use unassigned points pluses appeared next tall all my stats excluding Health and Mana. In a new row within the Mana box I got a plus for Mana growth per day, which would increase Mana growth by .01 per point. As soon as I saw this I put in 20 points so that I could get at least .20 Mana per day. Looking at the stats I realized that Fame and Endurance were worthless for the moment since they were both high. Since I currently didn’t know what the stats did I chose to raise them all to 20 each and was left with 8 points which I chose to put 2 into each of the 4 main stats raising them to 22. As I had left Wisdom be the last one to raise above 20 I received quite a shock when I did raise it.

With the Wisdom increased I felt a thin layer surrounding both my bodies. As I studied it I realized that some of these waves were stored within my body so I assumed that it was most likely my mana. As I tried to touch the mana my body would just go through it so I tried to use my mind instead. Since mana seemed to be linked with my mind I tried imagining my body absorbing the exterior mana and drawing it into my mana core. As I drew the waves only a small portion came my way looking like grains of sand. Each time I drew a grain of sand I could feel my endurance decreasing and by the 10th grain I was dead tired. As I tried pulling the 11th one inside me I ended up fainting as the grain entered my body but had not yet reached my core.

As I woke up I felt hunger I had never felt before, the hunger was so bad that I would rather spend a day within a dark isolated room. With my hunger filled I realized I could hear voices, crazy people voices.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

a- Feed feed feed feed

b- Bbbbbbllllooooodddd iiiiiiiii wwwwaaannnntttt bbbbbblllooooodddd

c- alp alp nony alp

d- hihihihihihihihihihi

As I got better at using whatever this was, I started to be able to better make out the words of four of the voices. These four voices I named them a, b, c, d since I’m bad at remembering names. As I started listening better I was able to make out what they were saying. a and d were easy since they just said the same word/laugh but the other two I had to hear them twice before I heard what they said.

a- Feed – Masculine voice

b- Blood I want blood – Masculine voice

c- Help help mommy help – little girl voice

d- Hihi – laughing can’t discern gender

Hearing the child’s voice I ignored the other voices and tried to figure out where her voice came from but I could not figure out direction. I tried to ask the other voices for help me find the child but they merely laughed for a minute before all the voices including the ones I had been hearing started to scream “Hunters” “Hunters” “Hide” “Hide” and after that they all went quite. The little girl kept screaming for help in a more urgent voice, feeling that her life might be in danger I tried imagining that myself going through the waves to reach her. When I tried the first time I failed

b- noooo mommy don’t leave me alone

b- bad men bad men go away, Molly has been a good dungeon so stay away

Molly as I now knew her name started to repeat the chant quicker and quicker. I felt as if my heart would break and when I could not endure it anymore I lost all reasoning and screamed like a beast. The only goal in my mind was to get to Molly and protect her. Not knowing how my body turned into the same form as the mana waves and next thing I knew I was within a small dungeon where I saw 4 beast men talking in an unknown language.

In the blink of an eye I arrived in front of the men and before they were even able to register me they had passed on to the next world. With the killing of the men I felt all the strength leaving my body and felt excruciating pain as if I was being cut into tiny little pieces. I had strength to scream but that did not stop Molly from screaming, showing that she was feeling the same pain. As I was about to pass out due to the pain I got a message

[tr]

You have two choices to makeSacrifice your humanity

to save the young dungeonSacrifice the young dungeon

to save you humanity

Seeing the message I didn’t hesitate and chose to sacrifice my humanity for if I sacrificed Molly it would mean I would be no different from a monster. As I made my choice Molly stopped screaming and said

Molly: Mommy I’m scared

JJ Dungeon: Don’t be scared I’m here

As I was about to say something more the pain became far worse and the previous pain seemed like a paradise and wished for that pain again. I could see my body with my own two eyes burning up and the next thing I knew I was waking up with my dungeon eye activated. For a second I was wondering why I had my ability activated but when I tried to deactivate it I got a message stating that the ability was not active.

As I tried to look at myself I saw a a gray moving orb with spikes

Link where i got the image

Seeing the orb I suddenly started to piece everything together. When I had chosen to discard my humanity, the blue screen took it literally and burned my Human body but since I am a Dunman I resided within the core and merely had two vessels to protect the core. Like Molly I was now merely an orb, with no way to protect myself and Molly from these so called Hunters.
