Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 5: THE FIRST DUNGEON
This morning, as usual, I was doing my magic and swordsmanship training.I usually wake up earlier than others and go to the Mansion grounds. I have been doing this activity for 3 years.
thanks to the fragment of power given by Hades-sama my mana capacity is unlimited. Thanks to that, I was able to realize a lot of magic that flashed through my head. actually Maya kaa-san has taught me a lot of magic theory and practice, and therefore also control where I am good. Thank you Maya kaa-san!
well even though my mana capacity is limitless, still it has its weaknesses.my physique is not too strong to cast magic that is too big. it happened when I managed to create my spatial storage magic and space-dimensional magic. Instead, I fell feverish for two weeks.of course one house panicked. they tried to find the best doctor to cure me. Well even though I said doctors, actually they are more towards ordinary healers.such as his profession of doctor is not yet common or unknown in this world.
after all, this world is like my world in the middle ages, whether it's a model of absolute monarchy, feudal noble system, and everything else. at most different here is just magic and its sword science. The presence of magic in this world brings a little progress that can be said to be different from the earth.
well I was too slack, so let's get back to the topic. This morning I was in a spatial-dimensional space. Because this space was unaffected by time so long as I was here, whatever I was, time outside will only pass for a minute.great is not it!
this is where I usually train my magic and sword. I usually spend more than three hours to train in this space. Thanks to my persistence, maybe, maybe, The magic is getting better and my sword skills are getting sharper.
Hades-sama has given me a good opponent.well even though I told you the real opponent they are some kind of creature created by Hades-sama and tasked to fight against me. they have the same intelligence as humans but are barbaric! I thought I could die if I didn't bring out all my abilities!
today I have a plan. To be honest I am quite enthusiastic today, because this is the first time I have conquered DUNGEON! yes of course, the Monster's lair was actually all this time I had secretly been making a living by hunting down monsters. Monsters in the world were classified into several levels. the lowest one was rank four while the highest one was one. but there was a classification beyond that.they were special level monsters.
they were rare to find.but their presence could even destroy a city in one night.it took at least five special rank adventurers to at least chase them away. (adventures were also classified as monsters).
The monster I hunted a lot was a semi-one rank monster.it was the highest I could meet right now.It was naturally a rare semi-one rank monster. there was no need to mention the matter of rank one. they were much rarer.even to find a semi-one ranked monster would at least have to go deep into the forest.
well in this world, the higher his monster rank, the more valuable the entire body.Take the example of horned wolves.generally they are semi-second rank monsters. even if they evolved they could reach rank one.well that was rare anyway.to be able to evolve monsters needed a place with a huge concentration of mana. and a dungeon is the most suitable habitat for it.
the horned wolf is a monster with thick fur, a large body, and fangs that are very terrible.The claws can hurt you even they do not touch you! this is why this monster is so terrifying.
well in essence there are many more functions of monster body parts in this world.not to mention flying ants, giant bees, and others.
like in the anime, manga, light novels that I watched and read in my previous life, the adventurer Guild became an agent that bought the hunting grounds of adventurers. they were given the right by almost all the kingdoms in the Lantos continent to buy, sell, and distribute monster materials hunted by adventurers. if they felt they could not buy the materials hunted by adventurers they would divert them to the auction. Pretty much nobility needed quality materials from high-level monsters. then the auction will be the right place to get the material.

yosh Now that I have finished training. After being in over four hours in my training room, I am preparing to go to the dungeon. naturally if my two brothers know my intentions, then, they didn't hesitate to hit me with their swords and magic.well, they wanted this cute sister to be healthy and safe so sometimes their actions were a bit protective. especially if I send a letter to Lili-chan...
after a bit of preparation was done, including putting my own provisions into my spatial bag, I immediately darted out of the mansion.actually the guarding of the mansion was quite tight. Marquis soldiers often patrolled alternately. but with my current abilities, sneaking out of the mansion is a trivial thing.
I ran fast, jumped over the roofs of buildings in cities called Romeon. This is a city run by my father and will later be passed on to my brother. romeon was named after the first person to be given the territory, Romeon Randall.
after running and jumping over the roof in Romeon, I finally managed to reach the outside of the castle wall and enter deep into the forest. the forest that exists in this world is similar to the forest that existed in my previous world.What makes it different is the fact that this forest is filled with monsters. after all, this forest was not entered by adventurers before him. This forest pedestal is still in the form of grass.
I continued walking through the forest.I occasionally encountered semi grade 1 level monsters. Even though they were semi grade 1, their strength was quite different from monsters of the same grade on the outskirts of the forest. they were somehow stronger.maybe because of the strong mana concentration as well.
a few minutes later, I arrived. This dungeon was like it was different from the dungeons that other adventurers used to explore. It was more like a dungeon that was never accessed by humans. its mana concentration was very high. I felt an overflowing power within this dungeon.
with a strong heart, I decided to enter into this dungeon and unlock the mysteries that lie within it.
