Chapter 27: The Dungeon!
__________________________________________________________________________
- Felix -
I cleaned both Saeko and I up with Magic before tucking Saeko into bed. She was quite worn out after our session after all.
I snapped my fingers causing some clothes to appear on me, specifically a black shirt with a tan overcoat on it, and some black pants.
I might as well make use of the clothes I bought after all. I asked for Saeko’s weapon so I can get it upgraded in Tempest as well so I can get that done. I was originally planning to do so during the Festival but if I can help make Saeko stronger sooner rather than later, then why wouldn’t I?
Now I’m ready to visit Tempest. It was only a little bit after midday, I only spent about 2 hours fucking Saeko so I have plenty of time.
Hmm, maybe I should pick up Milim as well, I haven’t seen her in a little while, at least a little while for me after all.
I snapped my fingers and appeared in Milim’s office. Of course snapping my fingers wasn’t necessary to teleport or anything, I just thought it was cool. A perfectly reasonable explanation if you ask me.
I felt someone latch onto me. “Felix! Save me, quickly let’s get out of here before the evil demon finds out!” Obviously the only person who would do something like this is Milim so I listened to her and snapped my fingers once again causing the scenery around me to change as I found myself in Tempest, more specifically in the residence I have in Tempest.
Milim finally let go of me, “Ah thanks for that Bestie! Frey was making me do sooo much work!” The image of Milim doing work was quite funny, after all it’s Milim.
I turned to look at her. “It’s nice to see you Milim.”
She looked at me questioningly. “Eh, we just saw each other though. Well it’s nice to see you too Felix!”
Ah, that’s right, I never told Milim about my ability to travel worlds. I trust her more than enough for that so I said, “Ah, I should probably tell you about an ability of mine.”
“Hmm? Oh is it a cool ability?! Maybe one that creates infinite honey!”
I signed. “No Milim, I don’t have the ability to create infinite honey.”
“Oh then what is it!”
“Basically I have the ability to travel to other worlds, and when I do so the time in that world speeds up so that when I return back here it’s like I never left.”
Milim might act clueless at times but she’s smart so she was quickly able to figure out what I was getting at.
“Oh. How long have you been gone then?”
“Not that long, a couple weeks.”
“Eh, that’s not long, but it’s okay, I understand that you missed your Bestie, hehe.”
“Whatever you say you brat.”
She pouted at me. “I’m not a brat! I’m older than you!”
I took out her gift from my Infinity Space and handed it to her. “Yes yes, anyways I got you a gift, don’t try it now, try it when you get back to your territory.”
She ran up to me and gave me a hug. “Ah! Is that chocolate I smell!” Of course she can smell it, stupid overpowered Dragonoid senses.
“It is, but don’t eat it now.” I warned.
She pouted but she listened and put it in her Spatial Storage.
“Now let’s go see what they are up to, but first.” I waved my hand and cleaned off all the dust that was gathering with Wind Magic and then we headed towards where I sensed Rimuru.
It seems he was working on The Dungeon that he was making, Veldora and Ramiris were with him. Still, that’s incredibly large, I wonder how he plans to make use of all that space. And Ramiris was able to create something like that huh? I think it’s safe to say that World System Skills are broken.
Aww shoot, I sorta forgot to get something for Ramiris huh? Well I can just give her one of the sweet boxes I have sitting in my Infinity Space.
“Lord Felix! Lady Milim!” We both turned to where we heard the voice come from and were met with a panicked Gobta running in our direction. “Please save me! Master is gonna kill me!”
Ah, so Hakurou is disciplining him or something huh? I led Gobta into an alleyway with Milim following behind curiosity and turned to look at him, “What did you do this time?”
“Master caught me slacking off on guard duty!”
I rolled my eyes. “So what you’re telling me is that you slacked off on your duty and are running away from your deserved punishment?”
Gobta became nervous all of a sudden as he began looking for an opening to escape. Unfortunately the only way out of this alleyway was through me. “...Yes?”
I sighed and called out, “You can have him Hakurou.”
All of a sudden Gobta’s face paled as Hakurou walked past me and grabbed Gobta. Hakurou was just waiting to see what Gobta was planning to do, I’m surprised Gobta wasn’t able to sense Hakurou hiding at the entrance to this alleyway.
He really has been slacking off on his training huh?
Hakurou gave me a bow as he said, “Thank you for acquiring my unruly disciple Lord Felix, Lady Milim.”
“No worries Hakurou, make sure to train him extra hard, it seems he’s been slacking off.” I said with an evil grin, a grin that Hakurou matched.
“Haha, maybe he won’t be so weak after some training.” Milim just added more oil into the flames.
Gobta looked at us with betrayal in his eyes, “Lord Felix!”
I waved him off, “Good luck!”
We both returned the greetings that we received from the people of Tempest, one Goblin girl even gave us some sandwiches, man these guys are too nice.
Oh! This sandwich is quite good, it has some ham in it along with some sauces. Just because Monsters exist doesn’t mean cows and pigs aren’t around either.
“Ah! This is good Felix!” I nodded at Milim’s exclamation.
I finished up my sandwich as we were walking to where I sensed Rimuru, no reason to fly or anything after all, I’d like to enjoy the scenery.
It didn’t take me long to spot Rimuru, Veldora, and Ramiris standing in front of The Dungeon.
“Ah! Felix you’re already back huh? Well of course you are. And you brought Milim.” I understand you Rimuru, time shit is confusing.
I gave him a wave. “Sup Rimuru.”
“Woah! This is cool!” Commented Milim.
“Huh? Did you go somewhere Felix?!” Asked the annoying fly that is Ramiris.
“I just visited my old home.” It’s probably best not to tell Ramiris I can travel worlds, she can’t keep a secret for anything.
“Hmm? Suspicious.” Ah! Could she have caught on! To think even Ramiris can see through me.
“Hello my friends!” Veldora interrupted at the perfect time.
“Hey Veldora.” I don’t really mind Veldora learning about my abilities, I trust him enough to keep them secret so I’ll tell him when I give him his present. Besides I’ll have to tell him eventually if I want to go to another world to have fun with him and Rimuru.
“Ghaha, Milim! Did you want to fight again! I have some new moves to test out!” Rimuru smacked Veldora in the back of the head before Milim even had the chance to respond.
“No more fighting Veldora! At least wait until we finish with your floor!”
“Ghaha, fine Rimuru.”
Seeing they were done I spoke up. “So what are you guys working on?”
“Ghaha! We are working on my lair! I am to be the Big Boss of this Dungeon so my lair must be equally intimidating!” Veldora? That’s not a bad idea to be honest. His Magicules will spawn the Monsters for The Dungeon, and he is also basically unbeatable by most beings in this world.
The beings that are capable of beating him likely won’t challenge The Dungeon either.
“Are you going full MMORPG with this? Like there are going to be Bosses on every few floors, floor loot, chests?”
Rimuru gave me a cheeky grin. “Haha yup! This Dungeon will be my masterpiece!”
“Ha?! Your masterpiece Rimuru?! It’s my Skill that built all this hmph!”
“Aha, well it’ll be our masterpiece then!”
Ramiris gave a nod. “That’s better.”
“Can you give us a tour of this Dungeon?” I am quite curious about it now.
“Yeah! I want to see what super secret project you’re working on!” Even Milim was interested.
“Of course my friends!” Surprisingly Veldora took the lead, he was surprisingly passionate about this project.
“The Dungeon isn’t fully complete though, there are still some floors that we aren’t sure about which Monsters to have on them.” Said Rimuru.
“Hmm, I see, well maybe Milim or I can give some ideas.”
“Umu! Count on me!”
We followed him as he led us to the first floor.
“This is the first floor, it is basically the adventurers guild of the Dungeon! Adventurers can register here, sell the items they got in the Dungeon, as well as pay to utilize the gym and training areas.”
Damn, I was impressed, they really went all out and have everything that’s really needed to run a business like this.
“How much does it cost to enter the Dungeon?”
Rimuru is the one who answered this time, “Three Silver Coins.” Hmm, it’s not a whole lot but it will add up over time. Besides it has to be affordable for Adventurers, most aren’t super rich after all.
One silver coin is equal to $10 U.S. Dollars, so 30 bucks total to enter The Dungeon.
We then continued on, “Floors 2-4 contain super small fry like F Rank Monsters. Only the treasure rooms are guarded by a D Rank Monster.”
Monsters had already begun being spawned as Veldora was using the very bottom floor as his living quarters.
“Treasure rooms? What do they have?” I assume chests but you never know.
“They have the low tier chests that give low tier rewards like Low Potions.” Rimuru answered. Hmm, not crazy good but super useful so that Adventurers don’t need to pay for their own potions as long as they are smart.
This is only the beginning after all so of course there aren't going to be super good items.
There were some traps along the way, like moving tiles, rotating tiles which will mess with one’s sense of direction, low ceilings but no instant death traps on this floor.
“This is floor 5, it’s also filled with small fry!”
“I’m pretty sure basically everyone is small fry when compared to you Veldora.” I responded.
“Ghaha, that’s true my friend!”
I felt Rimuru elbow me, “Don’t boost his ego more than it already is!”
“Eh, don’t worry, Veldora knows not to go too far right?”
Veldora gave a nervous laugh in response. Well that answers that question.
I expanded my senses a bit to see what sort of Monsters were on this floor. Mostly D Rank Monsters, so Veldora was right, small fry.
“Then there are treasure chests on this floor that start to contain equipment, though only the worst equipment.” I nodded.
Floors 6-9 were pretty similar though C Rank Monsters started to appear. Once we got to Floor 10 I could tell it was a bit different.
“This is the first Boss room!” It was quite large and it was a single room, no maze to get through, no traps, nothing except for the Monster in front of us. Said Monster immediately cowered upon our entry to this floor, it knew we were not to be fucked with.
It was a B Rank Black Spider.
“Is there any other reward for clearing this floor?” I asked.
Ramiris is the one who answered this time. “Hmph, of course there is, after all, I, the great Ramiris designed this! After they clear this Floor they can teleport back here without having to clear the previous floors.”
That’s good, having to redo everything everytime you leave and come back would be a pain in the ass.
It’s kind of like a save point.
“And then the first three parties to clear this Floor in a given month will receive 3 gold coins!” My eyes widened in surprise once I heard that. Three gold coins is no small sum to the average person after all, a single gold coin is about equal to $1,000 U.S. dollars, so three of them is 3 grand.
Hell you can get quite a bit with less than 5 silver, a standard Low Potion costs 4 silver, I remember the average daily income in Ingrassia is 7 silver coins.
“Eh! Is 3 gold coins a lot? I remember I gave Felix a bunch of those!” Ah, she’s right.
I decided to educate her a bit, if she was going to take running a territory seriously then she should know the struggles of the common man.
“Don’t compare the amount of money you’ve acquired over thousands of years to those regular humans have, you’re a Demon Lord too so money is easy to get for you Milim. For most 3 gold coins is more than a month's worth of salary.”
“Hmm, I see.” I was glad she was at least trying to understand what I was saying. Ruling a territory can be tough, especially so for Milim since she can’t hand the work off to someone else like I can. Though I’m sure Arc is helping her quite a bit.
We quickly moved on past Floor 10, Floors 11-19 were quite similar to 6-9, just with slightly stronger Monsters.
“This is the second Boss Room!” Exclaimed Veldora. “It’s slightly stronger than the last one.”
It’s an Evil Centipede, a B+ ranked Monster, a little bit weaker than the Mutated Evil Centipede I fought back in my first night at the Ogre Village.
That Mutated Evil Centipede was probably ranked at A-.
“This is Floor 25, starting from here there is a very low chance to find Special Grade Equipment, that chance will only increase as they go further and further down The Dungeon.”
That makes sense, some of the mid tier weapons can be considered to be priceless let alone the top tier ones. It’s rare for even an A Rank Adventurer to have a full set of Rare Grade Equipment. I’m sure once word gets out that you can find high tier equipment in The Dungeon, then people will begin to swarm in.
We skipped past Floors 26-29 seeing as there was nothing worth noting on those Floors. I also noticed Ramiris taking a seat on my head but just decided to ignore that.
“Floor 30 has another Boss, but this one is harder since he also has minions of his own.” Said Rimuru as we entered the Boss Room.
“Ghaha, that’s right, but he’s still small fry!” Man Veldora is his own hype man.
Rimuru sighed. “We get it Veldora, everyone is small fry for you.”
“I knew you would understand Rimuru!” Veldora spread his arms wide and boasted.
The Ogre Lord and his minions immediately bowed upon seeing us. The Ogre Lord on his own was ranked B+, but he had 5 minions as well, each ranked at B- so this Boss fight will be a significant challenge. Those minions can be quite annoying after all, taking pot shots at the worst moments when everyone is fighting the Boss.
“For this Floor the first five parties that clear it in a given month will be given 10 gold coins.” Damn that’s 10 grand.
“Eh, when do we get to see some strong monsters?!”
“Ahaha, I don’t think any of the Monsters in here can be considered strong to you except Veldora, Milim.” I said.
Milim crossed her arms and pouted. “Ehh, that’s boring.”
She is right though, none of us could really enjoy this dungeon. Is it possible to create Avatars that we can inhabit that restrict our strength?
‘Answer. It is possible by utilizing the Pseudo Souls, since Pseudo Souls are emulations of the soul container since they are empty they can be used as a medium to contain a soul.’
I shared Odin’s idea with everyone. “That sounds super fun Felix! Maybe we can finally do that jumping thing you talked about!”
“Indeed, we could do that Milim.”
“Ghaha, as the King of The Dungeon it is my duty to inspect my servants, indeed I approve Felix!” King of The Dungeon? Oh well, I guess the dude is living out his chuuni fantasies.
Ramiris was eagerly nodding alongside Veldora.
“Hmm, that could work.” It seems Rimuru is communicating with Raphael. “I have another idea that we can use to add on to it.” A black core appeared in Rimuru’s palm. “This was made using the core of Charybdis, it’s basically an empty shell now so it can be used to contain the Pseudo Souls. In fact we can use this to create Monsters that we can inhabit.” Ah, I did let Rimuru consume Charybdis back then huh? He needed a bit of a boost in power back then.
Still, our plan is coming together.
“But let’s wait until The Dungeon is open so we can prank some Adventurers.”
We all agreed.
We moved onto Floor 40. “This is where the true Dungeon starts! There are instant death traps along with much stronger Monsters!” Death isn’t something that needs to be worried about in the Dungeon as using Ramiris’ Small World they can be revived at the entrance of The Dungeon, even the pain that comes with experiencing death is negated. That Skill is busted.
“The Boss on this floor is special too! It’s a Tempest Serpent, a Monster that can only be born directly from my Magicules!”
And Veldora isn’t wrong, as a Monster born from Veldora’s Magicules it is stronger than most Monsters at the A- Rank.
“What’s the reward for clearing this floor?” I asked out of curiosity.
“Twenty gold coins!” Damn.
Floors 41-49 were far harder than the previous Floors as this is where things started to get serious. Only the truly strong could get past Floor 40 and they were continuously tested as they went further into The Dungeon.
Some of the traps included poison arrows, poison swamps, airtight rooms which drain all the oxygen in the room, a cutting thread that instantly cuts one’s head off if they run into it, a pitfall trap that doesn’t kill you, but instantly takes you to a higher up Boss room, most likely resulting in death.
Some of these traps are quite creative. And that isn’t the only thing, as Monsters get stronger they gain more intelligence so the deeper you go in The Dungeon, the smarter your enemies become.
“This is Floor 49, my baby!” Exclaimed Rimuru, and I understood why he said that as this Floor was filled with Slimes.
“These Slimes can merge together to create obstacles, and they close in on people once they have them surrounded! They are even immune to physical attacks! Truly Slimes are the greatest Monsters out there umu.” Rimuru was really enthusiastic about these guys, though he is a Slime so it makes sense. Dude is probably trying to hype himself up.
There were corridors that were made entirely from Slimes, Slimes were literally raining down from the sky.
Hell there were even golems made of Slimes, and each of these Slimes was extremely corrosive.
Man Rimuru went all out on this floor.
“Now from here on there aren’t many Bosses as we aren’t sure which Bosses to use, they need to be pretty strong after all. For Floor 50 maybe we can use Gozul or Mezul?” Said Rimuru.
“That’s the Ox and Horse guys right?” I asked.
“Umu!”
Veldora took the lead. “Floors 51-60 haven’t been completed yet, there are some golems along with guns that fire poison gas but nothing else.”
“We were thinking of making it once with more modern things, like laser beams and sonic cannons. But we have time to think about it, it’s going to be a long while until anyone gets to this floor going by the average strength of an Adventurer party. The only Humans that I think can make it to this floor are Hinata and her Ten Great Saints.”
“Most trained otherworlders probably can as well.” I mention. They are born stronger physiques due to their bodies being remade out of Magicules during their journey to the Cardinal World, along with most of them possessing Unique Skills.
“Yup, but I don’t think many of them will come here, well at least not immediately.”
He was right, it might suck but most otherworlders were either enslaved to other kingdoms or with the Eastern Empire.
“And then Floors 61-90 don’t have any Bosses yet.” Said a pouting Ramiris. “But maybe a rare Unique Monster will be born and can take up that role.”
“Hmm, well you could always have some floors filled with Dragons or Daemons. In fact you could probably make one of the Bosses one of those Daemons you summoned Rimuru.”
Rimuru looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, “That’s a good idea.”
“Umu! I the great Milim Nava can get you some Dragons too!” Ah, I already feel bad for the Dragons on the Caanat Mountains.
“Really?! Thanks a lot Milim!” Said Rimuru.
“The Dragons will probably eventually evolve into Dragon Lords like Raiden at some point as well, they will be constantly bathed in Veldora’s Magicules after all. So you should probably have them near the end of The Dungeon.” I mention.
“Hmm, maybe we can have them right above Veldora’s Floor, that way that can get the most out of his Magicules.” Added Rimuru.
After Floor 50 even the regular Monsters were at least B Rank, most were at B+ and higher. Some Monsters like the Death Wolves would form packs, a single Death Wolf is B+ Rank, a pack of B+ Rank Monsters will be a challenge to deal with for most Humans.
A Death Wolf is an interesting Monster, since they are technically dead spirits physical attacks will not harm them unless they were from either a Holy Weapon, or Magic Weapon.
And they are just a single type of Monster that is possible to encounter past Floor 50, Rimuru really isn’t making this easy.
I shrugged. “It’s up to you. Since you don’t have any more Bosses to show me, how about you tell me what’s after Floor 90?”
“Uhm, Floor 91 is where we store Magic Ore so that it can evolve into Magisteel, Floor 92 is where all the evolved Magisteel is stored, Floor 93 is where we cultivate Hipokute Herbs, and Floor 94 is the garden.” Said Rimuru. It seems we had a similar idea, where I am using the Magicules released by an entire country to evolve my Magic Ore, he only needs to rely on Veldora.
Fucking True Dragons.
“Floor 95 is where all the Dryads, Treants, and some Elves we rescued are staying.”
Hold up. “Elves you rescued?”
He nodded. “Some people were enslaving a bunch of Majin from this Forest, so as the Demon Lord in charge of it I had to make sure such a thing won’t happen again.”
I assume there are no survivors, Rimuru takes things seriously when it comes to his people, not to mention he has an Elf fetish.
“I’m sure you’re loving having a bunch of Elves on demand.”
Rimuru blushed. “Gah!”
Ramiris flew off my head. “Mhmm, he even set up an Elf Cabaret on Floor 95!”
Rimuru looked at Ramiris with betrayal. “Ramiris!”
“Hehe, that’s what you get meanie!”
“Eh! Where did Milim go!” Exclaimed Rimuru.
Hmm, now that I think about it she would have usually said something by now.
“Oh, she went to the garden, she said something about honey and then left.” Said Veldora.
Of course.
Rimuru sighed in relief. “Ah, if it’s just that everything should be fine… I think.” Don’t taunt Murphy like that.
While Rimuru was panicking I asked Veldora, “Do you have a Floor all to yourself?”
He looked up from his manga. “Hmm? Yes! Me and Ramiris share Floor 100 as the entrance to the Dwelling of the Spirits is also located there!”
“Do you mind taking me there?”
“Yes my friend! I will show you my collection of sacred texts!”
“Oh, take me too!” Said Ramiris. And so Veldora teleported the three of us to Floor 100, leaving Rimuru to panic alone.
We appeared in a large room. “Welcome to my room!” I took a look around, it was fully furnished with a bed, a couch, some tables, I even saw a shelf full of manga.
This is a damn nice room.
“Ah, I got something for you when I went on my trip Veldora.” I took out the figure I got for him, I got some from a few franchises, for the Dragon Ball ones there was a Goku figure, a Vegeta figure, a Broly figure, and a Majin Buu figure. Then there was a Charizard from Pokemon, and then a Chun Li from Street Fighter.
I set all of them on a nearby table, Veldora immediately started drooling over them. “Is this a limited edition Broly from Dragon Ball Arise?!”
“Ah maybe? It was kind of expensive so probably.”
Veldora looked at me with stars in his eyes. “You are officially my second Brother Felix! If anyone is mean to you let me know and I’ll take care of it.”
“Okay? Thanks I guess.”
I noticed Ramiris looking at me from the corner of my eye with a pout on her face. I took out the chocolates I planned to give her. “Here pipsqueak.”
“Ah! Thanks Felix! I knew you wouldn’t forget about me!” I nervously looked to the side and began whistling. Thankfully Ramiris didn’t notice anything suspicious as she was focused on the chocolate.
While they were examining their presents I looked around the Floor. Once I left Veldora’s room I was able to truly see the size of this Floor.
It was 100 meters wide on each side, it seems to be somewhere Veldora can make a grandstanding and fight challengers off. There were two other rooms on the side which I ignored, it would be rude to go through other’s personal rooms without permission after all.
I noticed Rimuru teleport in with Milim in tow. “How could you guys leave me like that!”
“You looked like you needed some alone time.” Complete bullshit, and Rimuru could tell.
Time to bribe him! I took out the doujins I got for him, the ones filled with Elves. “Hey, I got a present for you from the Earth I visited, I think it’s something you’ll like a lot.”
I made sure to cover the front so Milim didn't see anything. From the way Rimuru’s eyes zeroed in on the doujins, I think he knew what it was.
I handed them all to him, and he immediately stored them in his Stomach. He giggled perversely. “cough cough Ah, thank you Felix, I knew you understood me.”
Rimuru and his Elf fetish, yeesh. I can only imagine how he would react to The Sorcerer’s Dynasty, a Nation filled with Elves, and from what I’ve heard their Monarch is incredibly attractive.
Speaking of the Elves. “Did you invite Sarion to your Festival?”
Rimuru stopped drooling over the doujins. “Hmm? I invited Erald and his daughter, I assume they are going to be Sarion’s representatives.”
“I see.”
Man this Festival of his is really turning out to be a big thing huh? I guess people want to understand the so-called ‘friendly’ Demon Lord.
“You invited Hinata right?”
“Yeah, why are you asking?” I was about to respond but a look of realization appeared on Rimuru’s face. “Ah! I see I see, I didn’t know you liked girls like that Felix! You have good taste!”
I rolled my eyes. “She may be attractive but with her personality I don’t think anyone could have a relationship with her. I was just wondering if she was coming, since if Hinata is coming Luminous might also show up since she probably wants to get a good look at Tempest.”
More chances to mess with Luminous are always good.
- Guy Crimson -
Guy contemplated the news that his useless maid, Rain had delivered to him after he sent her to Felix’s domain. To think even Violet would decide to serve him, three Primordials all serving one man, not just that, three named and incarnated Primordials.
Each of them had definitely evolved into Daemon Dukes, with their mastery over Magic and their combat proficiency Guy could see them being a match for a Demon Lord like Luminous.
When Felix visits him he will have to figure out his real intentions, no man recruits such a force without a goal of some sort in mind. From what he knew of Felix he wasn’t the type to go on a rampage so he didn’t need to worry too much about Humanity, as long as the Humans weren’t disturbed too much, and the balance was kept he didn’t particularly care what Felix got up to.
It would be best to keep Felix as an ally since his game with Rudra was soon coming to an end, someone as powerful as Felix will be helpful to have on his side.
- Felix -
I knocked on the door to where Kurobe has all his blacksmithing stuff set up. I could hear a bunch of banging from well outside the door.
I ended up hanging out with everyone for a few hours before telling Rimuru I was going to head back after visiting Kurobe.
Milim already went back to her domain as she didn’t want Frey to be madder than she likely already was.
“Come in!”
Once I opened the door I could feel the temperature increase drastically, I took a look around to see what had changed. It seems Kurobe took in some apprentices.
“Ah! Lord Felix, welcome!” I turned towards the voice and was met with a smiling Kaijin. He and Kurobe have been working together for a while now seeing as they are both passionate about blacksmithing.
“Hey Kaijin.”
“What did you need if you don’t mind me asking Lord Felix? Or are you just here to look around?”
“I wanted to have a new weapon made, and then I also wanted to have two weapons upgraded a bit.”
Kaijin had a thoughtful look on his face. “That should be doable, hell we could probably make it even better than it would normally be if you supply us with that mysterious energy of yours.”
Stardust huh? Well I’m fine with that.
“Sure, if it makes the weapons stronger than why not.”
“Haha, great! Working with that energy is great, so many new and interesting ways to incorporate it into a weapon!”
“Well I’m glad you’re excited then.”
“Let me call Kurobe over, he’s helping one of the apprentices in another room.”
Once Kaijin left I decided to take a look around. Most of the apprentices were focused on their craft but some were paying attention to me.
I took a look at the weapons on the walls, most of these were relatively low grade, Unique Grade at the highest and even those seemed quite mediocre for Kurobe’s work. I assume Kurobe and Kaijin keep the truly good stuff somewhere else.
But even the best of their works likely couldn’t quite yet compare to a weapon I create with Material Creation using Stardust, last I heard from Rimuru the highest grade Kurobe could make so far was top of the line Unique Grade, along with bottom of the barrel Legend Grade. And even then he needed superb materials for them.
Of course that changed when Stardust is involved.
The reason I’m having him forge a weapon for Raiden, and upgrading Saeko and Sukuna’s weapons rather than just making them new ones is due to the bond they will create with their weapons.
If they work their asses off evolving it themselves there is a sort of connection that forms with the weapon and the wielder, something that allows them to use the weapon to its full potential.
I have such a connection with my weapon, the Demoness Trio does not however since I just created God Grade weapons for them. Though it’s not a big deal for them, their greatest strength is in their Magic.
Though there is another reason that I don’t want to straight up give Saeko and Raiden God Grade weapons… they aren’t ready for them. God Grade weapons can allow someone who does not possess an Ultimate Skill to fight against someone who does without instantly losing.
That kind of power needs to be built up towards or else someone may not know how to wield that much power. Let alone the fact that neither Raiden nor Saeko have enough Magicules or Magic Power to properly wield such a weapon.
But I’m sure they’ll reach that level in time.
I turned towards the door I sensed Kurobe and Kaijin about to come through.
Kurobe bowed. “Welcome to my workshop Lord Felix.”
I gave him a nod. “Thanks for having me and making time for me.”
“It is no problem for one of Rimuru-sama’s friends and a Demon Lord.”
Understandably the culture in this world is a bit different so most Majin go out of their way to please those with power, it’s basically self preservation.
“So which weapon would you like crafted? We will do the modifications first as that will take far less time, but I would still like a general idea of what you want made.”
I nodded, I was taking inspiration from Raiden Shogun for Raiden’s weapon. “I want a Tachi, one that is extremely adept at enhancing and manipulating Lightning.”
A Tachi is a Japanese sword that was used by samurai, though it had a slightly longer hilt and blade compared to the far more famous katana.
I also didn’t need to specify the length or anything as once equipment reaches a certain grade the user is easily able to make subtle adjustments to make the weapon more personalized.
Seeing as this weapon is going to be created partially using Stardust it will definitely reach such a level.
Once Kurobe was finished writing everything down on a notepad he led me into another room, his personal workshop. Kaijin at some point along the way went off to do his own thing, while Kaijin was a good blacksmith, he wasn’t nearly as prodigious and skillful as Kurobe.
Hell I could see Kurobe one day making Legend Grade Equipment with just normal Magisteel, dude is a beast.
“Give me one moment while I gather everything I need Lord Felix, for the brand new weapon what did you want the main material to be?”
Hmm, maybe one suited to Dragons since Raiden is one herself. “Do you have any materials that go well with Dragons?”
Kurobe’s eyes brightened up considerably. “Yes! I have wanted to work with this material for some time but did not wish to create a purposeless weapon out of it! Raiden-san’s weapon will be perfect for it!”
“That’s great and all but what material is it?” I asked. Kurobe can get rather excited when it comes to blacksmithing, it’s something he is passionate about after all.
“Ah! It is Dragotite! Something that can only be created when Adamantite is bathed in the Aura of a True Dragon! A never before seen material!”
Damn, that’s impressive. Who knows what the Aura of a True Dragon can add to this weapon, now even I’m a little bit excited.
“We’re still doing the upgrades first though right?”
Some of the excitement in Kurobe’s eyes faded but he did still seem passionate about the weapons.
“Indeed.”
I took the weapons out of my Infinity Space, Kurobe seemed quite interested in Sukuna’s weapon, likely due to how unique it is in this world.
“We shall start with Saeko’s blade since I am most familiar with it. Has she given it a name yet?”
I smirked. “Yes she has, Hercules Edge.” At some point I told Saeko about some mythological heroes and such from my old world, it seemed she took some inspiration from those.
Kurobe nodded firmly. “A good name for a good blade.”
I nodded and handed it to him while setting Sukuna’s weapon on the side.
Saeko’s blade is currently a Unique Grade weapon, with the potential to reach Legend Grade with some time and use.
Hopefully after the upgrade it will be a whole new beast entirely.
“Lord Felix, can you supply and control your power in very small bursts so I can imbue it properly into the weapon?”
I nodded and began to supply him with extremely miniscule amounts of Stardust, I made sure to control it as even the slightest mishap could destroy Saeko’s weapon and kill Kurobe.
Stardust is not to be fucked around with.
Kurobe soon began hammering away, making the blade sharper, stronger, and more durable. His Unique Skill: Divine Craftsman really helped him figure out how to best use the Stardust.
I of course took the chance to analyze his Unique Skill. I might as well be called a Skill Slut at this point.
I needed to help him for about 3 hours total to finish upgrading Hercules Edge and Sukuna’s weapon, not long at all compared to how long it takes to forge a weapon.
Kurobe looked at the two weapons produly. “These two are truly some of my finest works, even if I didn’t craft it from scratch.”
And he’s right to be proud, both of them are now bonafide Legend Grade weapons. Sukuna’s weapon had the ability to manipulate electricity to create discharges originally, now it can do far more than that. He can use it to help enhance his Cleave and Dismantle by imbuing his Skill in his weapon and using that to attack his opponents. Along with that the Electricity Manipulation is far more powerful now.
Saeko’s new weapon is also a beast. I shared my idea of allowing her weapon to directly attack one’s Spiritual Body. Kurobe seemed intrigued by my idea so I transferred all the knowledge necessary to include such a function into the weapon.
Now Saeko’s Ōdachi is capable of attacking the Spiritual Body directly, completely bypassing one’s physical body and a good chunk of their defenses.
I’m sure she will be happy with this. Though I’ll need to upgrade her scabbard, eh I’ll just make her a new one.
Maybe one that is bigger on the inside than the outside so that it isn’t so bulky to carry around.
I turned towards Kurobe and gave him a respectful bow. “Thanks for your help Kurobe, I’m sure Saeko and my other subordinate will like them a lot.”
I could visibly see the panic appear on Kurobe’s face. “Ah! It was my honor Felix-sama! Please don’t bow to a blacksmith like me.”
“Haha, one’s profession doesn’t matter when thanking someone for doing a favor, it’s basic manners.” Or at least it should be.
“Anyways, how long do you think it will take to forge Raiden’s weapon?”
Kurobe looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, “It will most likely take between one to two weeks.”
I nodded. “Then I’ll come pick it up in two weeks.”
Kurobe nodded. “I shall have it ready by then for you.”
“Great thanks! Anyways, I’ll take my leave now, thanks for the help Kurobe, and give Kaijin my thanks as well.”
“Have a safe trip Lord Felix!”
Hmm, I should probably pay Rimuru a visit before I leave.
I teleport into his office where he is doing some work.
“Ah! Felix you gotta stop doing that!”
I smirk at the Slime sitting behind a desk, “Never! If I can teleport wherever I want then I will do so!”
He sighed, “Whatever, I know I can’t stop you. Anyways, what did you need?”
“Eh, nothing in particular, was just letting you know I’m heading back.”
“Ah! You didn’t want to stay at your place?”
“Hmm, nah, Saeko is probably waiting for me after our fun time.”
I could see the realization come onto Rimuru’s Slime face. “You bastard! You got to bag a girl as hot as Saeko?!” Wait til he realizes I’m sleeping with Lalatina and Raiden as well.
“Is that why you came here huh? So you could brag to someone who isn’t capable of enjoying those kinds of things anymore?!”
I rolled my eyes. “As if, the topic just came up. I don’t need to show off my accomplishments to you to feel good about myself.”
“Gah! You lucky bastard!” You already said that buddy.
Maybe I should give Shuna a hint? She does have a bit of a crush on Rimuru, but of course the dense fuck won’t realize. Of course there is the issue that Rimuru doesn’t have any sort of genitals due to limitations he put on himself.
I’ll help a brother out. “Rimuru, you know you can easily give yourself a dick right? The entire reason you don’t have one is due to your own self image influencing your physical appearance. Maybe you can’t see there being a penis since the original owner of that body was a female, but you can easily solve that issue by talking to Raphael. I’m sure it can help you out on that front.”
I’m not sure why he hasn’t asked his Skill himself to be honest.
Rimuru froze for a moment before he leaped into the air. “Yipee!”
Once he calmed down he looked at me with tears in his little Slime eyes. “Thank you Felix! I knew I could count on you! You are officially my brother in all but blood!”
I waved him off. “Yeah yeah have fun with your new dick.”
“Hey!”
Now where is Shuna? She is needed to make my plan complete.
She usually hangs around here since she serves as Rimuru’s secretary/assistant. He does need someone competent with him after all.
Ah! There she is.
I walked towards where I sensed her, she seemed to be in the kitchen, probably preparing some food for Rimuru.
I knocked on the door and entered once I heard a response.
Shuna paused her chopping to turn towards me. “Ah! Felix-sama, welcome! Did you require some food? If so please be patient, I am already working on preparing a meal for both you and Rimuru-sama.”
Ah, maybe I’ll stay for that then. But no getting off track.
“Great! But that isn’t quite why I’m here. You see, I heard from a little bird that you’re interested in my buddy Rimuru.”
Almost instantly a blush appeared on Shuna’s face. “Ah! N-No! It would be improper for a servant like me to care for my Lord in that way!” Eh, not really? I’m sure there are a bunch of people in relationships with their servants, though they might not all be consensual. That’s not a fun thought to dwell on.
I pretended to look thoughtful. “Hmm, well I must be mistaken then. But if you find someone who fits that description be sure to tell them that Rimuru is shy so he won’t ever make the first move. It’s part of his culture from his past life.” Stupid Japanese customs.
“If someone as beautiful, and kind, and thoughtful as you were to approach Rimuru with such intentions I’m sure he would be overjoyed.”
“A-Ah! Really!?”
I nodded firmly. “Mhmm, how about you be honest now?”
Shuna looked down meekly and whispered something, “Ah, I didn’t quite hear that, could you repeat it?” Of course I heard her but I might as well mess with her a bit.
She took a deep breath. “I like Lord Rimuru!”
“Ah, maybe not that loud, he might have heard that.” He didn’t seeing as I placed a Barrier but teasing Shuna is fun.
“E-Eh!?”
“I’m just teasing, don't worry. Anyways, I’ve said what needs to be said, what you do now is up to you.”
“A-Ah! Yes Felix-sama! I will not disappoint you! Thank you for your help!”
“Haha, sure sure. I’ll be waiting with Rimuru for that food!”
“Yes!”
I walked back into Rimuru’s office. “Eh! I thought you were leaving Felix?”
Rimuru was in his human form now, likely inspecting his new goods.
“I was but then I heard that Shuna was making something and decided to stay to try it.”
“Ah, I see, that’s understandable, she makes the best food.”
“Ha! As if! My Raiden makes the best food!” I scoffed.
“Eh?! What do you mean?! Raiden learned form Shuna so isn’t it obvious who’s better!?”
“Hmph, the student always surpasses the master.”
Rimuru and I continued to argue until Shuna came in with the food. I noticed she still had a bit of a blush. Heh, Rimuru better thank me later.
We quickly finished up out food but as I was leaving I said, “Enjoy your night today Rimuru~”
“Eh? What’s with that tone Felix?”
“Nothing nothing.”
I ignored his questions and just teleported back to Azerath. I appeared right where I left, though Saeko was no longer here in her bedroom. She probably went out to do something. It is getting quite dark now so I guess I’ll give her the weapon later.
Oh? A Thought Communication from Arcueid?
“Oh Master~ I am ready for you now~”
Oh shit! I forgot about that misunderstanding! So by ready does she mean….?
Hell yeah! Little Felix is going to be having the time of his life!
“Coming Arcueid.”
“Ara, please do hurry my Lord, I am quite eager for our… time together tonight.”
If that didn’t get me hard, then I’m sure what I’ll see inside her room will.
- Rimuru Tempest -
Rimuru made sure he finished up all the work he was supposed to do today, he didn’t want Shuna to be upset at him tomorrow after all.
Once he confirmed that everything was done he teleported to his little home, it wasn’t large seeing as he spent most of his time as a Slime, it was big enough for a normal Human to live in, but nowhere near as large as that of a Ruler’s should be.
But he did have a nice pond in the yard!
As Rimuru was preparing to rest, he heard a knock on the door. He did not need rest but he did enjoy sleeping to just relax his mind.
Oh? What did Shuna need?
“Yes Shuna?”
“A-Ah! May I come in, Lord Rimuru?”
Hmm, did something happen?
“Of course Shuna.”
He heard the door to his home open and turned to greet Shuna but paused the moment he got a look at her.
Shuna was dressed in nothing but a Kimono with nothing underneath, he could even see the imprint of her nipples.
Gah! How sexy!
“U-Uhm, did you need something Shuna?” He ignored the stutter in his voice.
“Yes Rimuru-sama! Please accept me!” She said with a massive blush on her face.
She quickly took off the kimono she was wearing, not that it was covering much in the first place.
He took a good look at her entire naked body, damn she was hot!
All of a sudden his mind flashed back to the words Felix said as he was leaving.
That damn lovable bastard! Well, such an opportunity likely won’t appear often, and if Shuna is clearly willing then maybe he can finally get rid of his virginity!
From how Shuna was looking… did she maybe like him? Did a girl as beautiful as Shuna actually like him? Woohoo!

I just realized. It would be amusing if this act has gained Felix Raphael's enmity cuz she wanted Rimuru to herself or something. xD

No. That has never been a thing lol. I want whatever you're on.
TheGuyInTheKnow
Am I missing something I could have sworn that rimuru in this fic was a girl in the MC's former lover? I don't know I've been busy doing a bunch of other stuff but I could have sworn that's what it was.

I might make a poll sometime for the divine humans to vote on

It would be hilarious if he suddenly lost Raphael because he was no longer a 'Great Sage' due to virginity loss.
I_Don’t_Believe_It
Can we see the changes in gojos worlds as an omake and what’s the next world you plan to go to? Are you taking suggestions?
