Thirds Person's P.O.V:-

“Minie! Who the hell named us the cave of misery?”

“HUH! What?”

“I am asking you who the hell named us The cave of misery?”

“WHAT?! WHEN, HOW, WHERE IS IT?”

“How would I know where it is? Just think, no, just tell me who or how is a dungeon’s name decided?”

“IT is…”

“Yes!!”

“It is decided by the invaders, or should I say… some kind of the characteristic of the dungeon which sticks in everyone’s mind and it… automatically changes.”

“You mean, we don’t select it?”

“I’m sorry, but we don’t?”

“Sigh… Damn.”

“But it is alright, isn’t it. If you think about it, the first human party also talked about how difficult your design of the first floor was and now the second floor that you have constructed and went overboard on…”

“I went overboard? It was your changes which went overboard, not me following your orders.”

“Hah, dear, you did. You know, who told you to create such dreadful traps and what is with those invisible ants inside the tunnel full of spikes and deep pits. And why were the sharpest spike created inside the pit of the short and easiest route and don’t forget you placed two, not one, but two of the newly bought buff workers as the guardian at the converging point of the tunnels. Just tell me are you trying to kill any and everyone who enters the dungeon?”

*Guck*

“Now what kind of a sound is that?”

“You know when something gets stuck in your throat and…”

“Just… sigh…”

“I understand.”

“Yes, we have a lot of work to do.”

The same line and the same attitude, but the words spoken by Minie still felt a little disoriented to Rocky.

“What else do owe have to do now?”

“I don’t know, let’s see; Mana stones?”

“Check.”

“Monsters?”

“Check~”

“Mushrooms, second floor,  illusions?”

“C.H.E.C.K~”

“Third floor?”

“…..silence…..”

‘Oh shit.’

Yes, even though Minie wanted to get one step closer to their goal of locking and popping THE STORE, but he didn’t do it and instead bought some monsters. Though they needed them very much.

“I said third floor?”

*~Wistles~*

“You… what happened?!”

Though she wasn’t furious and was also not breathing fire out, he still did what any sane man would have done in the same situation. No, he didn’t lie to her and instead told her the truth, of course he applied some butter to his words before serving them.

“I sent all of the money on buying eggs and the buff workers.”

“Again?”

“I mean, who knows how many humans will come to attack us this time? It’s just for the insurance afterall in another half an hour the first batch of larvae’s will turn into ant workers and the newly bought eggs will hatch too. Then at that time we’ll at least have a horde of monsters to defend ourselves.”

She looked at him and sighed before  speaking, holding her neck, while shaking her head left to right.

“I just hope that more humans like those impulsive thieves will come.”

“Yeah, we can hope so.”

It was 2 past midnight and there were fifteen more minutes left before the eggs would have hatched. Both Minie and Rocky were waiting for the them to hit 8 hours, but before they could celebrate their birth with something from the store and before the eggs could hatch, another warning message rang out in the room.

[table=red]~WARNING~

INTRUDERS ALERT!![/table]

They both chocked when suddenly the red message box covered their sights and the warning alarm rang out in the cave.

“What now, who is attacking us so late in the night? Just let us sleep, damn it.”

“AH! Like you sleep, you insomniac!”

“Talk about yourself, you little devil!”

“Okay, okay, let’s just see who had the balls to attack us so dead in the night.”

Then Minie fiddled with her side of the dungeon interface and a clear image of the scenes happening at the entrance played on it. Surprisingly, they were even able to hear the voice this time.

“Minie, how…”

“Shh, this is because one of the ants was patrolling in the area near the entrance, so we are able to hear what he hears, that’s all.”

The scene played and they saw five huge white light Wolves playing with a shadow wolf. No, they weren’t actually playing, what they were doing could only be described as bullying him.

The wolves were pure white, and their silvery hairs were shining in the moonshine. They were muscular  like an ox, and their colored eyes had nothing but contempt for their plaything. Their countenance under the moonlight looked mesmerizing, while the Shadow wolf cub whom  they were playing with was slowly backing toward the hole on the surface.

Though they still hadn’t entered the dungeon, but maybe because the entrance could be called a part of the dungeon, therefore the warning signal rang in and Minie and Rocky were informed about the intrusion, even though the wolves were still outside the gate.

The light wolves barked at the cub and it covered and backed away a little more toward the hole, as fear took over him and he started crying.

“WOFF”

“WOFF”

*Howl*

And one of them sliced his sharp nails at the cub. As the rank one wolf’s paw touched the cub, it flew into the air and cried out in pain.

“YELP, YELP.”

The momentum and inertia from the hit lifted him from the ground and took him, as he fell into the hole. The wolves brows flinched when they saw their toy falling into the glowing blue hole. Though there was some pressure coming from inside the hole, which they felt cause of their animal instincts, but it wasn’t anywhere enough to scare them.

They looked at each other and though the pressure wasn’t anything strong enough to scare them, but they decided to not dive down into the seemingly unknown and the menacing looking hole just for a little brat. Though they felt that it was a loss to lose such a cute little toy suddenly, but they still decided against their urges and started backing up.

They walked 10 steps backwards while keeping their eyes on the ole, but as two of them turned one of the wolves ran towards the hole wanting to jump inside and eat the little thing.

His greedy eyes and hungry look was enough to show his displeasure by the way his brother had acted, but he wanted to taste that cubs blood once before going back home for some love making.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

*Warf*

He ran and ran faster than ever, but just before he could jump into the hole his big brother barked at him.

The bark had enough strength to bind him and his feet from moving. It wasn’t a simple bark after all, the wolf he called his big brother was the commander of their forces and as one of the ten commanders under the Alpha male he had the skill “Commandment” which could easily kill one of the soldiers working under him, much less stopping their movements.

He felt extremely gracious that the power used in the skill wasn’t strong enough to kill and only to paralyze him for a second. But it was enough, the second was enough to show his Brother’s intent.

As saliva dripped out of his mouth, the two wolves a size bigger than his Ox size body, started walking back and even though he wanted to jump inside the hole, he controlled and controlled his urges and ran back to them, with his head held low.

Rocky looked at their behavior and sighed.

‘If only they had entered.’ He thought.

‘Then I could have increased my level to  60 at the least. Well, whatever.’ He reminisced about the delicious prey which had run away just before getting into his mandibles.

“Okay then Minie, tell the ant to kill the cub and hurry up; the larvae are going to evolve soon.”

But no reply came. He thought maybe she didn’t hear and repeated the same lines again, but again, nothing.

His nonexistent brows flinched as he thought about the unusual behavior from a chatterbox like her. She didn’t reply to him. He wanted to see what happened and When he did turn around to look at her, what he saw frightened him to his very core. His soul shook and he felt like the blob from his dream had come out to haunt him.

The face, which Minie was making was enough to create a new kind of dread in his heart. No, the face she was making wasn’t scary at all, it was the opposite of it.

It was too cute and he got scared that he may never get to see that kind of an expression on her face again.

Those puppy eyes, those shivering lips and her tightly clenched fists were first of its kind and were the first time that she was showing such pure emotion for something, no someone. But he was sad too because those expressions weren’t being given to him.

Because he didn’t want to break the mood and turn her against himself, he didn’t stop her, but he couldn’t refrain himself from asking her.

“Minie, what happened?”

The voice he asked in was so low that it was almost like he was whispering to her, but Minie’s small and petite body shook like he had screamed into her ears. She turned her head towards him and while glaring at him with those glittery, shiny eyes, she pointed at the cub on the screen and spoke in a crying voice.

“Sa-ve..*sniff* hi…m.”

And rocky felt like an explosion had happened in his mind as he hurriedly shifted his presence to the entrance and looked for the ant who was spying on the wolves. He quickly controlled the ant and made it run faster than lightning. The ant surely followed the command and ran like it was running away from something and quickly flew through the narrow tunnel like a bullet, as it dived into the pool of water and dived deep to fetch the cub out.

It looked to the left and then to the right, but it couldn’t find the cub. The tension that Rocky felt at that time was a few folds more than what he had felt at the time of his first invasion. He vigorously searched for the cub and thanks to God, the blue light from the mushrooms was overpowering at the bottom as it glowed like magic down there, he finally found him.

Rocky found the cub lying unconsciously near a cluster of mushrooms. He roared and made the ant move and hurriedly brought the cub out of water.

He made the ant place it on the ground, but because of his tensed mind, the ant threw it out onto the floor. The cub flew and struck the ground and boy did he struck hard. AT first he couldn’t understand what had happened, but then a shriek came out of his mouth and he cried out. Because clearly he shouldn’t have done that. But the ant’s crude movements plus his anxiety had made the ant to throw it out directly onto the floor.

The cub flew and collided stomach first with the floor.

And rocky could promise that he heard the wails of a ghost cry coming from deep inside the dungeon and one of the mysteries regarding their dungeon was solved right there.

‘So that is why our dungeon was named as the cave of misery.’ he thought, but didn’t voice it out.

But the situation wasn’t over yet. He felt Minie coming towards him, flying through the corridors with a never before seen speed and not just him even the ant trembled.

The ant surely felt the aura of danger coming directly from inside the tunnel as it shook away Rocky's control and dived deep into the pool of water.

Rocky wasn’t faring good himself, he also tried to find a good spot to hide, but then he thought.

‘Let’s just see what happens. It was the result of his incompetence after all.’

Minie came crying out of the tunnel, screaming “NOOOOO!” as she dropped out of her flight and directly fell on the cub.

She skidded on the ground after her little impact, but without caring for her well being, scrapped knee and elbows,  she looked back and saw the cub unconscious and sleeping on the hard floor with his tongue out of his mouth and he surely wasn’t breathing. Her crying became even louder as she started walking towards him on her knees saying,

“Why, did you die, why, why?”

Rocky who was looking at the drama couldn’t get his thoughts straight and the only thoughts that came to his mind were.

“What the fuck is happening down there.”

Minie, walked on her knees to the cub and started hammering her small hands on his chest, while screaming, ”why, why?”

She hammered the hell out of his chest for about four seconds and the cub couldn’t take her beating anymore, as on the fifth second before she could hit his chest again, it vomited out the water that it had Engulfed.

He didn’t just vomit the water out, but it poured it directly on Minie, drenching her with his gastric juices and all the shit that he had eaten.
