DN : [101] Inner World Birth!
🕑 Added 2024-02-21 16:00:05 +0000 UTCBack in Orario, August didn't immediately visit his familia but instead had a long nap with Ais and Tsubaki.
Two days of mining had left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he needed a good rest.
This sleep lasted most of the day. The three of them had returned yesterday afternoon, and this nap stretched into the next day's late morning.
"Hmm~, what time is it?"
After waking up, August, upon seeing the sun outside, instinctively wondered about the current time.
Tsubaki and Ais were nowhere to be seen around. It was evident they had already gotten up.
Stretching lazily, August opened the system, looking at his attributes with a smile on his face.
[Augustus Divus Pracentum]
[Level: Level 3]
[Bloodline: Demon]
[Talent: Original Sin · Lust, Power of Darkness]
[Magic: Shadow]
[Skill: Blink, Eight Thousand Sword Styles, Armament Haki, Getsuga Tenshou, Demonization, Full Counter]
[Equipment: Tears of the Goddess, Elucidator, Wabizuke, Muramase]
[Noble Phantasm: Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure]
[Rare Item: Inner World]
[Items: Automatic Smelting Furnace (Magic Stone Edition), Water Seedling]
[Gacha Draws: None]
In a little over two months, he had grown from an ordinary person to this stage. The speed of his growth was like riding a rocket, incredibly fast.
Next, August opened the quest panel, and the third-stage quests appeared.
[Hunting Moment I: Hunt and kill 10 level 3 monsters, 0/10. Completion reward: Normal Gacha Draw *3]
[Hunting Moment II: Hunt and kill 100 level 3 monsters, 0/100. Completion reward: Normal Gacha Draw *9]
[Hunting Moment III: Hunt and kill 1000 level 3 monsters, 0/1000. Completion reward: Normal Gacha Draw *15]
[Eminent Reputation: Reach the 48th floor of the dungeon, complete late exploration. Completion reward: Advanced Gacha Draw *3]
[Path of the Strong: Kill the floor boss of the 47th floor, Balor. Completion reward: Advanced Gacha Draw *3]
[New Era Legend: Promote to level 4. Completion reward: Advanced Gacha Draw *3]
The first three quests were similar to the previous ones, still hunting quests. The only difference was that this time there was no doubling of rewards, as August had imagined, but a threefold increase in the first stage.
The next three quests were essentially the same: reach the 48th floor, defeat the floor boss Balor on the 47th floor, and the final quest to level up to level 4 remained unchanged.
However, this time was different. August had a special quest to kill 10,000 monsters.
For that exclusive Demon Evil Piece, August was extremely eager.
Thinking about it, August stood up and walked out of the room.
The first destination was none other than the forge behind.
Inside, Tsubaki was watching the automatic smelter furnace at work. On the side, there was a large pile of raw mithril.
This mithril was one-tenth of what August had specifically left behind after mining for two days. August intended to give this portion to Goibniu.
Providing only a map and a piece of information, the rest was done by August himself.
Giving him one-tenth was based on the fact that he was a god, otherwise, August wouldn't want to give him anything. It was too easy to make money.
"Uh? You're awake."
"Where's Ais?"
"Ais should have returned to familia. After all, the great feat she accomplished yesterday made her eager to go back and level up."
"Your words are quite vague."
"I've been here the whole time. How would I know where she went?"
Tsubaki also expressed some dissatisfaction. After all, she wasn't a god and couldn't possibly know everything.
"Sorry, my bad."
"Hmph~. You've prepared everything. I don't feel like cleaning up this pile of extra stones, anyway. Since they're not mine, and as for the other mithril ore, it's all in there now."
Glancing at the large pile of mithril ore nearby, Tsubaki spoke slowly.
"Of course, no need to tidy up for him. This cooperation is the first and the last time. I suddenly feel that digging ores is too time-consuming and laborious. We can just buy the raw ores with the time we have. We don't lack money anyway."
"Right, with this treasure, just relying on earning the price difference can make us rich. Besides, we don't need to spend money with you around."
"No expenses? Then give it all to me. I have places to spend."
"Here, three hundred million. I left a few million for myself."
Tsubaki also didn't stand on ceremony and directly handed over the three hundred million valis. The relationship between the two had reached a point where they didn't need to worry about such things.
"I'll go back to familia first. Ais has gone back, and I need to show my face too."
"Sure, let's go."
After bidding farewell, August left.
After leaving Tsubaki's mansion, August turned around and felt a bit helpless.
This was Tsubaki's home, but it wasn't his.
As a person from another world, August had an inherent attachment to the concept of 'home.'
Every person needed a nest, even if it was broken and shabby, it was still their own little harbor.
Subconsciously, August also thought of his inner world. Originally, August had wanted to turn it into his own utopia, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a devouring demon pit.
However, the next second, August was stunned.
Because this inner world, which had merged with him, had undergone a tremendous change overnight.
August's figure disappeared in an instant, appearing in the inner world the next second.
Here, the original fog had dissipated, the sky was bright, and beneath his feet was a black soil.
If the previous inner world was a dark and foggy place, then now it was like fertile land waiting to be developed.
"What on earth is going on?"
August found it hard to believe the tremendous change here.
In a short time, after reaching the end of the world, completing late exploration, and having the world itself absorb energy, the inner world finally reached the energy needed to give birth to the smallest world.
This made August overjoyed. With this, his idea of creating his own utopia could be realized.
