Chapter 5 – First dungeon?

Varn holding his [Dungeon Control] in his right hand and Gerrard’s arm on his left. He already decided that he will create a dungeon. He learned the command to do it from the book.

“[Dungeon Creation]!“

He heard someone gives a reply directly into his head.

“You’re about to create a dungeon. Due to your rank you could only create an F rank dungeon. Creating an F rank dungeon will consume 5000 dungeon points. Are you sure you want to create an F rank dungeon?”

He shout out loud.

“Yes!”

Then the replied continue to resound in his mind.

“You have failed to create a dungeon. You are currently inside another dungeon territory.”

Just knowing that, Varn blood boils. He must be in the area of the dungeon that killed his parents.

“Just you wait! One day I will come back and reclaim this area.”

He then decided to moves out. He know just now he is doing it because of short impulse. He now thinks really hard, where should he set up his first dungeon?

From what he just experienced he know some information.

First, you couldn’t create a dungeon on another dungeon’s territory. Secondly, you need to make it in a strategic location, where it will be easy for you to attract victim and gather dungeon points. Third, it will cause commotion to be seen when creating it, so he should do it without any other people nearby. He also have to make sure that he already get out of the other dungeon’s territory.

His former village is inside a dungeon territory. Up north, there’s the Ribby’s dungeon. Should he head south? But there’s no town nearby.

*Grumble~*

The loud noise comes from his stomach. Since yesterday Varn haven’t eat anything. With a strong resolve he tried to collect food from the village’s ruin. He even go to his house to salvage anything he could find.

From his excavation he found some money and more importantly, a map. This one is found from his house. It must belong to his parents, there are a lots of information regarding dungeons and their location. While eating a charred bread he look closer to it. From each dungeon, there are red circles spreaded out. It must be the dungeon’s territory.

He makes a calculation and finally find a vacant area. It was in the north east of Bruit village. Go past Ribby’s town and nearly at the edge of the map. It was a snow mountain ridge.

After gathering some food supply, he head out alone. He didn’t care about the danger that may happened to him along the road, he just blindly walks following the map. After five days of walking, he finally arrived.

“Father, we’re here. Mother, look how beautiful it is.”

In front of him, as far as the eye can see, it’s all covered in white. Varn’s outfit have torned here and there, his feet is bleeding and full of blisters. Just because of his determination he could move this far. He is now no longer carrying Gerrard’s arm. He already burned it down and he collected the ash in a small jar and tied it with a rope around his neck. As a momento of his mother, he found a small hair clip that he is now wearing to keep his front hair from covering his eyes.

“After some rest, I’ll build my dungeon here.”

Varn already decided to take revenge and be a master of dungeon. But could he kill another human to gather dungeon points?

He also found out that he could gain dungeon points by killing wild animal such as rabbit and wolf but it only gives 1 and 3 dungeon points. For killing a normal human he will get 50, F rank dungeon raider 100, and amazingly A rank dungeon raider gives 1000 dungeon points.

But, could he kill a human?

To upgrade his rank to E, he needs 25000 Dp. Even if he wants to get enough points by killing F rank dungeon raider, he need to kill 250 of them. Could he kill that much and keep killing more just to climb to A rank?

Just when he’s lost in his thoughts, Ferluci shows up.

“What’s the matter young boy? You haven’t create your dungeon?”

“You! Old man, is there no other way to get dungeon points?”

Hearing that, Ferluci smiled.

“Of course there is another way. But it was harder than killing human.”

Hearing that there’s another option, Varn was glad.

“Tell me! What is it?”

“Of course it’s by clearing another dungeon. If a dungeon master clears another dungeon, you will be able to absorb all of the dungeon points that have been spent for that dungeon. But to tell the truth you couldn’t even survived if you raid another dungeon. Look at how fragile yoi are.”

Varn think hard about in and yes it was impossible for him, given his current condition.

“If that’s the case, coud you tell me another creatures that could give me more dungeon points?”

“Eh? You still insist in not killing a human?”

Hearing Ferluci remarks, Varn shook his head.

“I really couldn’t do it. If I do it, what’s the difference of me and that killer? I will kill if it’s to avenge my parents, but killing innoccent people isn’t my purpouse.”

“Huk huk huk.. What an interesting child. Did you know the first condition for your fate to be chosen as a master of dungeon is by having hatred for human in your heart. The others dungeon master didn’t even hesitate knowing they have to kill others to gather points. They even happy about it. But you, on the other hand. You have hatred for your enemy but that’s it.. You’re so naive.”

Varn realized Ferluci’s words. Maybe he is naive but if he kill another human, he may be mad from the guilt.

“Just tell me, is there another creatures that could gives dungeon points?”

“Huk huk huk.. Interesting boy. Because you’re the first one that insist to find another creatures to kill, I will tell you. But first you have to create your own dungeon first.”

“Okay, I will create my dungeon first.”

“Do you know how?”

“Yes. I have tried it before but failed.”

“Oh, because I’m here you could skip the other parts and steps and just imagine your dungeon shape.”

“Eh,  I just need to imagine the shape?”

“Yeah, hurry! You better do it while I’m still in the mood.”

Varn then closes his eyes and imagine. So far, the dungeon appeared is in a shape of tall tower, deep underground cave, wide labyrinth, pyramid, maze, and all sorts of dungeon like form. But for Varn with his imagination, the shape in his mind is far from those.

In the middle of the snow mountain ridge, a building appears. It was a huge building around twenty meter wide and fifty meter in length. The wall made of glass completely, it was a greenhouse. From his dream to be a great farmer, his first dungeon entrance is hidden inside the greenhouse. Seeing the building that appears in front of him, Varn couldn’t help but feel satisfied.

“Congrtulations! You have successfully create an F rank dungeon. It is an underground type of dungeon with the entrance hidden inside the building.”

That words come floating in Varn mind. He smiled admiring his imagination.

“What? What is this shabby looking dungeon entrance?”

That disspointment comes from Ferluci.

“As a dungeon watcher I couldn’t believe a dungeon look this shabby. What’ more it was created with me present.”

Ferluci looked at Varn and said.

“Are you going to redo it or you will let me mess your dungeon entrance appearance?”

“No way! Since I couldn’t be a great farmer anymore, at least let me have a greenhouse.”

“If that’s your decision, I have no choice.”

Ferluci makes a waving motion using his arm and Varn could see his greenhouse is somehow distorted.

*Crang*

The glass wall is shattered and swirling in the air.

“Nooo!”

Before Varn could say anything else, the glass reconstruced themself into a grand building.

“Congratulations! Your dungeon appearances have been re-designed by Ferluci the dungeon watcher. Because of the involvements of the dungeon watcher, your dungeon appearances size isn’t limited by your dungeon ranks.”

It was a crytal ice palace. With twin towers and tall castle wall made of ice. The entrance gate to the castle itself is eight meters wide and ten meters high, as tall as the outer wall surrounding the castle. The castle itself is so majestic and grand. The design engraved even more complicated than any kingdom castle.

Varn at first wanted to complain but his mouth is just hanging. He is speechless.

“Come, let’s get inside. If we stand any longer we will be freezed to death.”

Varn realized the chilling winds that started to creept in and pierces his bone. While keep his eyes admiring the castle, he muttered.

“This is my castle, this is my dungeon. My first dungeon!”
