Chapter 6- the plan

POV- mc

Three days passed and the village has remained quiet. A solemn atmosphere was around the village. Still when people went to hunt I made sure to be seen on occasion. As well be seen watching them. My son is a good boy. He has never done wrong in his life. Because he fell in love with a young girl of your village and because he is only half human you treated him like a monster. I was planning to spend another thirty years building my body before I went to war but I no longer have to wait.

[Fear of the residents is high of you. Passive earning has increased to 5%. Annex of land 1%.]

Annex I thought as I looked at the notice before I used my DM privileges to check the state of the lands around my dungeon. My dungeon is on the fringe of the Darwin nation. They are a short lived nation of only four hundred years old compared to some of the larger nations of the world. Their national rank is C. Which means they have a stable economy as well as a military force of at least ten thousand. Out here is so poor that no noble touches it. I had a feeling that is about to change soon. I consider this a moment. My dungeon is still hidden and it is still level one. So it has no value to a noble. As it becomes stronger and known threw the land it's value will increase. Which will make the lands around it increase in value as well. There are three villages near my dungeon. If I can take control of these and increase my income for future increases in higher value targets I will be better off than at least a tenth of the previous dungeon masters before me. Almost all the DM before me only ever focused on the their dungeons in the early stages. While I was pissing around with Junior I unintentionally set up the cards I will be drawing to be stronger hands than previous DM. Thinking upon it if Junior joined the village my influence may have grown there as well. Instead of being a pissed off father I might have been a grateful one. As I watched the village at a distance I noticed a fairly large group approaching. My instincts were warning me and I got a message soon after.

[A subjugation force has come. Party rank B. The influence of your temporary core has been disrupted without your intervention because your influence in the area is small.]

I remained still to ponder this. I could sacrifice my temporary core to remain hidden for the foreseeable future. I am sure they will send small search parties to my cave which means I will be able to deal with them in turn more easily. However the temporary core is my only source of income right now. Even if I get dp from killing the few that will come to my dungeon there is a fact also that I will be hunting them all over the mountains for the next several months before I am pinned in my dungeon. From then on I will be like any other dungeon master. Worse because I have little in the way of defenses. It will be a constant battle with fatigue. I decided to move. My job is to gather mana from the residence of this world and return it to the world. Ultimately I will have dungeons in every corner of the world gaining me millions of dp a day. I will need to strip the power from every organization and nation on the planet. What better place to start this than that village. It will go down in history the ruin that saves this planet or the triumph that will destroy it will begin here.

POV- Sheri (B rank adventurer)

We got an emergency call from the local guild headquarters. A C rank party of six failed a mission of a lower rank a few days ago. This is not an ordinary fact. Many get boosted in rank by completing several lower rank missions. Considering you can go two up or two down from your current rank. However you must have the qualification to do the same rank mission you are ranked as. For two to be killed on a lower rank mission was not ordinary. Unless you go solo or a pair you should succeed at a lower rank quest. Especially with a party of six. There is only one exception to this and that is an outside force of a greater rank interfered. A young greater dragon appeared. A B rank mark. It is believed that the village reported a D rank dragon wildling thinking it is that instead of what it truly is. For such a beast to take woman as possessions like that was unthinkable. As we approached the village my instincts told me something was different with it. I have seen me many a dungeon and the village has that presence. “ Hey Carl, you seeing this?” Carl, my partner for many years nods without turning from the village. “ I do not have a good feeling about this.” I said and he finally looked at me. “ We get threw this beer is on me.” I took him up on that offer. Seriously I wish he did more than have good intentions with such offers. We been adventurers sense we were ten. In all those years he has not made one move to bed me. If he does not get his act together soon. I disregarded those passive thoughts. Carl is a good man but he was never one to think of me as more than a sister. After drinks later I will drag him to a private spot and fuck his brains out. I need that itch scratched.

I arrived at the center of the village as the column of adventurers arrived as well. I do not think they expected my boldness as the villagers scattered in fear. The adventurers were puzzled a moment but instantly prepared for battle. There was a group of twenty. These looked better prepared for a fight than the six from before. “ Let us talk before we battle to the death!” I yelled and the adventurers were confused now. Did they not expect me to talk? A woman moved slightly forward on guard. “ What manner of beast uses words? Do not try to deceive me!” I looked around and noticed several of the villagers had hopeful faces. “ I have tasks to do woman. I care little of the prattle of mortals. However I let these her the glory of my son. He only looked upon a woman to be his mate and she embraced him as such. He would have lived gently with her here if not the fact these fools treated him a monster. The hostilities would have subsided with time as they saw his true nature but the line was crossed when they hired murderers to slay my son. The mere fact these so called adventurers even tried to take his woman away from him to even scar him further enrages me. So I took two of their lives and sent my child and his mate away to a far away land where they will make young and grow old in peace. What remains is the monster they should have feared in the beginning.” The woman looked coldly at me as I spoke. It was clear my words did not reach her but my words were not for her alone. “ If only they feared me instead of my son. This village would have been blessed instead of cursed. Woman if you and your group leave now I will turn a blind eye to this instance. Pursue this and the one that will bear the greater cost will be this village.”

[You have intimidated the village into submission by your very presence alone. Title 'unshakable presence' unlocked.]

['Unshakable presence' passive title. You very being in a location will not be ignored. 'Fear', 'intimidation' and 'dominance' characteristics will be 5% greater.]

POV- Sheri

This dragon is not some mindless beast you would expect. Add to the fact this place has the aura of a dungeon around it. In fact as he spoke that aura got stronger till the elder that looked like the village chief rushed to us and went to his knees to beg. “ I beg you no more. Leave us in peace. We do not want to lose anymore.” The dragon turned to the old man slightly as a green glow appeared from the ground. From the glow a crystal manifests.

[The village of Jorm has submitted to the dungeon master. If you do not have the dungeon master to relinquish control of the village then it will become an extension of the dungeon.]

This world message made no sense to me. Dungeon master? Dungeon? By looking at that crystal I can tell it is a dungeon core of some type but I can not tell of what. I have never heard of a dungeon core appearing outside of a dungeon before like this. It was not in the guilds guide book. The wise thing to do would retreat, but what of these people. To leave them in such a setting. But this is clearly an A rank or even S rank quest now. We must get this information to the guild at the very least. “ Dorn Loer. Fall back and.” The dragon cuts me off. “ You all will either leave here together or die together. Do not make light of me human. I have blocked communications and all ways of escape for such methods.” I hate to admit it but the dragon is right. To divide our forces now will mean death. Even if he is bluffing. We may have just enough power to subjugate the dragon here but we will take losses. At least half of us who will fight will die, and the other half will not come back pretty. At best most of us will be retiring after this if we fight. And that is if we win. Even from the report of having fire protective gear he is far stronger than he looks and he looks plenty strong already. “ Dorn Loer you two first. Fall back and prepare for us to withdraw. Go by twos. Me and Carl will be last.” The dragon nods toward us. “ A wise decision.” I tighten my guard as our numbers decreased and Carl knew as well as I that I was going to sacrifice myself in a surprise attack and tensed up as well. As we were the only two left in the village at this point I looked at the dragon. “ What is your name dragon? So I can put it in my report.” He looks at me dead in the eye. “ Dungeon Master Core 7-6-7.” I blinked unsure. I did not understand such a name. The DM was probably a title but core 767. Was he produced? Is he not a living being but some type of object instead. With us two the only ones that know this key information. I change my mind about charging the dragon to buy time. I take my tensed muscles and shift my weight to jump back instead of forward and Carl does the same the moment I started to shift. We did not stop until the outskirts of the village before looking back. The dungeon core started floating over the center of the village.

[You have decided to abandon the village. It is now in complete control of the village. All future activity in the region will become more difficult. The residents have lost faith and fully submitted to the dungeon becoming an asset. When any die in the village 100% of the mana will be absorbed into the dungeon and returned to the world. The land is becoming enriched and more plentiful of wildlife. A new iron mine has been discovered and controlled by the dungeon. Unknown to the residents their lives have been blessed as the goddess Kora smiles upon them.]

I look at Carl as he probably got the same message. “ What the fuck is this?” He raised his shoulders unsure himself. We really got to report this.
