Balance!
That is what I need not to become an evil devil.
Every upgrade that I had, they only benefited my devil life. Now I need something that can help my human life.
"Maybe I should vacate the dungeon for the whole month, you know, be more humane"
"Of course you can do that but what you have to do now is invest in your dungeon"
"What's that for?"
"Since you are leaving the dungeon, you need to bring monsters to the dungeon and make sure humans hunt in it. Whenever it is that you come back, you will have a lot of points"
"Sure, so let's buy monsters. General Shop"
As usual, the shop appeared
"Ok we can't just buy monsters blindly so call Mou"
After few seconds Mou entered
"You called for me, My Lord"
"We are making some changes to the dungeon and you should be present. So on the first, there is a desert and just Ghar since we moved the spiders away"
"Ghar has been making quicksand in the desert."
"But Ghar can't fight, he is not strong. I have a better mission for him, we'll discuss later. I think we should take the desert away from the first floor, quicksand is too dangerous for humans and there won't be monsters in it. What do you think, Warg?"
"You are right Dungeon Master, Ghar can make quicksands on the higher floor "
"If we want humans to hunt in our dungeon, we need to motivate them. We need to give them something easy, promising and enticing, something that can promise them upgrades and money but taking their lives at the same time. It'd be more like a game"
"I agree with Mou, so on the first floor we need some low level monsters like the kobolds. Warg, do You have any idea?"
"Goblins, they are the next low level monsters after kobolds."
I searched for goblins in the shop,
[Name: Goblins]
[Occupation: Monster]
[Skills: Fury s***h]
[Title: None]
[Attributes:]
[Strength 42 Spirit 30 intuition 28Construction 30 Agility 40]
[Overall Ratings: 170]
[Remark: Quantity makes quality]
[Price: 1000 points]
I bought 300 goblins and searched for swords. Different swords were brought with very expensive prices but I searched for the basic ones and found a sword with the price of 200 points. I wanted to buy them but Mou stopped me
"Are you buying swords for the kobolds, it probably will be taller than they are" Mou laughed a jest-like-laugh "daggers will be better "
"You can't blame me, I have never see a goblin before"
I bought 300 daggers for 6000 points
"The kobolds, what do they fight with? "
"The dwarves helped them in making spears from the trees in their section"
"Oh, so dwarves make weapons?"
"They are good in blacksmith jobs "
"Wow, so we set up a workshop. Tell the dwarves to make more weapons they can make from trees, they will be given their equipment later. Substitute wood weapons and swords between the kobolds and the goblins"
"Yes, My Lord "
"Warg, change the landscape of the forest floor to how a dungeon should look like, tat the dwarves village to a high floor, they will be used for production alone"
"Ok Dungeon Master "
"Tell the first floor monsters to make the human raid more of hide and seek than tug of war"
"So only goblins and kobolds on the first floor " Mou questioned
"Yes "
The goblins appeared along with the daggers and greeted me, they were escorted to the first floor and Mou came back
"Now the second floor. The devil birds are level one monsters, how many of them do we have left?"
"30" Mou replied
"I think the devil birds should be on the first floor, making occasional attacks at the humans. It will make humans more conscious. Mou, do we have any monster of level 2?"
"No, we have higher ones starting from level 4"
"So we buy"
"Well I'll always have an idea, buy ghouls"
I searched for ghoul on the shop and it brought its attributes
[Name: Ghoul (undead)]
[Occupation: Monster]
[Skill: Teleportation, Absorb]
[Title: Die Hard]
[Abilities]
[Strength 30 Spirit 70 Agility 0 Constitution 70 Intuition 50]
[Overall Ratings: 220]
[Remark: can teleport three steps at once, very fast. Growth and reproduction are faster when in a place with high spirit energy]
[Die Hard: when the spirit energy is high, they can reincarnate after death]
[Price: 2000 points]
"Oh, ghouls are good monsters for this dungeon" I complemented
"There are lots of ghouls in Gursta, they have this hated for every living thing" Mou said
"We don't need many of them since they can reproduce faster in a spirit area and this dungeon has lots of spirit energy" Warg advised
I bought 20 ghouls and they appeared in the dungeon not long after. The echo of the spirit of the dead in my dungeon seems to increase when the ghouls appear. The ghouls were taken to the second floor. What I love about them is they don't need weapons, they fight with their long and sharp nails
"Pardon my mistake, dungeon master, we have 70 orges and 120 orcs and they are level two monsters. What they lack is weapons, they have been fighting with the bones of their dead kind and kobolds " Mou said when she came back from the second floor
"Well, it's all for the good. Somehow I feel ghouls are too strong for the second floor. As for weapon, the dwarves will make it for them"
"Uhmm Dungeon Master, there is an hereditary enmity between the dwarves and the orcs"
"It doesn't matter, Mou, the orcs should never know the weapons are from the dwarves. Move the ghouls to the third floor"
"Yes, dungeon master "
"So Warg, which monster is qualified to live with the ghouls on the third floor?"
"Uhmm, I don't think the third floor needs anymore monsters, just like I said, the ghouls have a hatred towards all living things. Overtime, they will reproduce and occupy the third floor. Moreover, we have spirit of the dead"
"If you say so. The humans won't destroy the third floor within a month, will they?"
"Even if they do, we have different level four monsters on the fourth floor" Mou replied
"In the knowledge of that, see you in one month's time."
I took out a transportation scroll and wanted to tear it but Mou stopped me
"You haven't given me mine, where are we going?"
"Mou, you can't be my sword like we discussed earlier"
"Why"
"The humans have seen your face and know you are monster in this dungeon, there is no way they won't kill both of us if they see you with me"
"I can always change my face, looks like the humans don't like people with white hairs"
Mou transform into a teen lady with blonde hair
"If this is what it will be, then we will need a plan for you. First, you won't be going with me. You will need to go to the guild as a superhuman and apply for a guild member. Change your name and then we will meet after you get recruit by the guild "
"But I don't have any skill"
"We buy"
"I'll like an electric skill, I love the mains hum from the electricity that the guild master used"
We bought an electricity skill for 25000 points and year transmission scrolls, Mou appeared in the guild and I appeared in my house only to see the shape shifter that represents me earlier having a dinner with mum
'did mum see me, did she see her son turn to two'
