The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 80 - Ascension
In an instant, I had returned to the Origin Dungeon on the 2nd floor. As usual, Alice immediately went to do another pick-up. Really, he really fulfilled his duty as a Teleporter.
“Then, see you Eric. Since you offered me, I will ask for 1,000 gold coins another time if we meet again.” Those were Alice's last words before disappearing behind her magic blue light.
Now I start breathing. I'm so happy to be back in the Human World so soon. Although I actually regretted a bit because the EXP I obtained in the world was very much. But it's just a small matter. Now it's….
“Explain to me who those two Women are, Eric?!” Shouted Elin while putting on an angry expression. I don't know what he's thinking.
“Uh... alright. He's called Asmodeus, I used to call him Deus. Her name is Elizabeth, commonly called Liz.” Obviously I was brief while introducing the two of them to Elin.
Not only that, I also introduced them to some higher-ups including Oliver.
“It's nice to meet you all. I beg for cooperation.” Deus said gracefully as he lifted up his dress slightly and crossed his legs like a noble.
While Liz just fell silent and followed Deus wherever he went.
“So, Eric! When will you build a Dungeon for me and Liz?” Ask Deus excitedly as always.
“Alright, I will awaken a special territory next to the 5th floor of Origin Dungeon for the two of you.” Short reply.
Deus seemed excited to hear that. Maybe because he has been hunting for a very long time? I don't know, which is clear in the end they both can now live quietly while waiting for the strength of Deus to return.
“Thanks, Eric! As my gratitude, I will lend you those two Skills until I get up! Instead protect me!” He said as he followed me from behind.
I of course immediately agreed because the two skills given by Deus were extraordinary.
The four of us went to use the teleportation magic circle on the second floor to head to the 5th floor immediately.
After that I took Deus and Liz to the best house on the 5th floor. I advise them to stay there for a while until the construction of their Dungeon is complete. They both took it well. I'm happy with that too.
Elin also seemed happy because now the Origin Dungeon had obtained a new occupant. A very powerful Vampire Race! Even I was able to start summoning Vampires as well. But I will wait for him until the new Dungeon that is special for Vampires is finished.
The design is very simple. I used the castle where we met Elizabeth as a reference.
I asked the Goblin workers to dig and make a very large room. In the center of the room will be erected a castle and housing outside its walls. It was beautiful in my shadow.
Of course the workers gladly accepted this job. It was all because now they were working and obtaining rewards other than food that was money! They could use it to make an exchange with everything in this Dungeon.
...***...
A few weeks have passed….
The construction of the Vampire Dungeon was going quite smoothly.
Now that everything had returned to calm and peace, I tried to use the [Ascension] skill that Deus had lent me. To whom? For this first use, I chose Tasmith as the object of the experiment.
It was all because Tasmith was one of the most important Individuals within this Dungeon. His ability to produce high-level items was extraordinary. Of course I have to nurture his talent.
“So will you two come?” I asked Deus and Liz who were currently still relaxing at home while they were.
“Good. We both had enough rest. I also want to see the figure of a Kobold who became the blacksmith, Eric.” Deus replied with a smile and crossed his arms.
As usual, Liz simply fell silent and followed Deus wherever he went. Although Deus had convinced her many times that she was no longer the Queen to be respected, Liz was still as stiff as that.
Me, Liz and Deus immediately went to Tasmith's new shop. It was because his shop that was on the 1st floor had long been destroyed. Although all his work was intact, it was still a considerable loss.
In front of the shop, Elin and Rina were already waiting for the three of us to arrive. Looks like my sister is pretty familiar with Elin. Even if he's just playing around here. But isn't that the purpose of this game?
Tasmith who was now in front of the shop was still wearing her craftsman glasses. Even in his right hand was still holding the chisel equipment.
“Why did you bother me while I was busy working, Eric? You know me...” Tasmith said in an annoyed tone.
“Have been quiet. I just want to give you a little reward for your hard work.” My words cut out Tasmith's words. Immediately I used the [Ascension] skill.
A golden light appeared around Tasmith followed by 3 yellow balls of light. What a beautiful sight.
In front of me came a notification asking about the improvement I wanted to make with Tasmith. I also chose the Trait. The price to do so is 150 levels.
Since Tasmith was still at level 122 then I decided to use my level as payment. It was only for a short while that I was in the underworld, but my level skyrocketed quickly when fighting Dark Elves for a few days. I am now at level 203!
...[.Describe the Trait you want!]...
‘Huh? Describe it? I think I can only choose from the options provided.’ I thought to myself after the system notification appeared. I immediately asked Tasmith.
“Hei, Tasmith. What kind of talent do you want? I can't guarantee whether it will be to your liking but at least I can try it.” I asked in a relaxed manner to Tasmith.
“You…. Are you serious, Eric? All right if you insist. If allowed, I want something related to gems.” Reply cynically as always.
...[.Processing Information.]...
...[ …. ]...
...[.A suitable trail has been found!]...
...[.Gemologists]...
...[.Rank : SS]...
...A gemologist who is able to recognize, understand and extract all the potential of the gem that is in front of him....
...Effect: Increases gem processing ability by 150% and gem potency by 75%. Improve the attribute quality of Items that use gems by 40%....
...[.Are you sure you will choose this Trait?]...
...[.Yeah] [No]...
“Gi-crazy!” I shouted to myself after seeing the system notification before me. Isn't this trail very powerful? If Tasmith could bring out the potential of all the gems she worked on, then her Artificial Items would become even more powerful!
Even though I have to sacrifice 150 of my levels and the result I will return to level 53. But I believe the use of this [Ascension] skill is very appropriate!
“Good. I'm sure of this Trait!” I shouted at the menu window in front of me while pressing the [Yes] button.
Instantly, all the light that surrounded Tasmith's body moved very quickly.3 yellow balls of light immediately entered Tasmith's body. Then comes the next notification that indicates [Ascension] has been successful.
...[.Congratulations!]...
...[.Ascension has succeeded!]...
...[.The target individual has obtained a Trait Gemologist!]...
I who saw the notification was very happy. In this way, Tasmith can produce even better gem crafts. Indirectly, it would also support the finances within this Origin Dungeon. But one thing escaped my attention.
“Thanks…. My lord...” Tasmith said in a very soft voice while shedding tears. He kept his head down to hide it.
“Hmm…. This skill is very useful! Thanks again, Deus! You have lent me this incredible skill!” I said after seeing the results.
“Take it easy, Eric! If you have many powerful subordinates it also means a strong Alliance to me!” Reply Deus with a wide smile while crossing both arms.
While Liz? He was still silent as usual.
“Congratulations Eric! You managed to make the field ua... I mean make Tasmith become stronger!” Shouted Elin excited to see the SS-level Trait that now belongs to Tasmith.
“Congratulations, Brother. Although it was a bit unfortunate because Big Brother lost some of his level.” Rina Yell
“What a marvel! Hail Mr Eric!!!” Shouted Oliver the excitement that was out of nowhere. I didn't bring him here at all.
“Alright, now immediately return to your respective places. I want to observe the development of the new Dungeon belonging to the Vampires. Oliver, you're here with me.” My orders are to everyone here.
Everyone immediately returned to their respective places. Elin and Rina immediately went somewhere. Deus and Oliver followed me to see the development of the new Dungeon.
Tasmith though?
He was still kneeling and bowing his head. As if he couldn't believe all this. Born as someone without talent, but now…. He can choose the talent he wants. Wasn't there no greater gift than this for him?
“So...your name is Tasmith? Nice to meet you.” Said a Woman with gray hair and a black dress as she stretched out her arms.
“Uh... Yes, I'm Tasmith. But who are you?” Tasmith asked as she rubbed her eyes.
“Elizabeth. You can call me Liz.” Reply with a smile that even Deus has never seen.
