  Mmm.. I woke up and stretched. I slept pretty well sidering the sleeping … pce. I ’t really say the sleeping situation, as I do have a nice bed to sleep on, but it is located in a dungeon.

  I got up from bed, ged clothes and did my other m business. Is it even m anymore? Well, that doesn’t matter. Thankfully I analyzed things like the magic toilet back at the manor. They definitely make the core room seem more like a hotel room than a cave.

  (If you actually want to know, it’s 10:03 am.) Laura told me.

  (Well, I guess knowing doesn’t hurt.) I ented before moving towards the couches situated around the core.

  “Good m.” I said to Christina, Aneesa and Sana. Apparently, Sana had woken up before I did. Well then again, she did go to sleep earlier as well.

  “““Good m.””” The three of them responded.

  I sat dowo Christina and basically as soon as I did, Aneesa poured me a cup of tea. Sana had also moved to make breakfast for me. These maids are still overspeced. Now I just want to know how OP are the maids in a Dukal house or the castle. Perhaps they are all super-powered bat maids that take down A-rank monsters like they were goblins.

  … okay, That might be a bit much. Even St. Joan and Dark Magi couldn’t one shot a va golem and acc to Laura that golem was B-rank. So someone who cut down A-rank monsters like they were goblins would o be insanely powerful.

  “Did anything happen while I slept?” I asked Christina.

  “No. It’s been peaceful.” She answered. “I also made the final preparations so we leave after lunch.”

  “Oh. So the dungeon is ready to be opened?” I firmed.

  “Yes. We will still have to keep an eye on it, but I believe it is good to go.” She told me.

  “Good. Mind if I check it out?” I asked.

  “Not at all. Make sure I didn’t leave any mistakes.” Christina said.

  —

  Even with the power of a dungeon founder, I ’t trol everything. The rge thing I ’t trol is the spawning of monsters. That holy lead to some dangerous situations like with the earth/va golem, but that is something the adventurers will have to accept.

  The main thing dungeon masters, and founder, are responsible for are the dungeon ‘drop points’. Well, they are more akin to trade points, but close enough.

  The main drops we used for the early floors were cardboard, and the different fabrics. You could also get cardboard boxes and ready-made clothes, but the drop-points for those were at the end of side rooms, so adventurers would o do extra work for them.

  The dungeon had also added new clothing options for the ones avaible. Simple dresses and long sleeved shirts made of tricot. A denim jacket. And some cotton … underwear, for females. Yeah. I’m going to leave it at that. Where did the dungeon learn about things like that?

  Oer floors, things like magic bags and magic fsks were avaible. Even monster cores of E to k could be gotten. As well one of those bracelets that could hold a magic stone. Why is the dungeon learning this mu its own? Is it because I installed Labyrinth Wall into the core? Perhaps that gave the dungeon more purpose and now it’s trying to impress me.

  Well that all looks fio me. Last thing I checked was the safe areas and the healing areas. Sadly, the healing areas took up a lot of mana, so we could only have a few of them. Christina decided to pce them on floors 2, 4 and 6. At least the monster free zones weren’t that mana hungry so we could have some on each floor.

  “I think it’s fine. Nice work.” I plimented Christina. She had thought about basically everything.

  “Thank you. I’ll be making adjustments as adventurers e over, but there likely won’t be a need for any major ges.” She said.

  “Well, that’s good. By the way, you make mithril swords now?” I asked about the thing that caused her to fight against the va golem.

  “Yes, I . Perhaps the va golem really was a test and I passed it.” She answered.

  “Well that’s good.” At least she didn’t risk her life for nothing.

  “Oh, and here are your cards.” She said as she gave St. Joan and Dark Magi bae.

  “Thanks. I should probably work on your deow, so you make a retionship with the cards you do have.” I told her, but then I remembered that one card I got. “But first I want to try something. Please bring your terminal o mine.” I told her as I pulled up my sleeve to reveal my founder’s terminal.

  Christina seemed fused for a sed as to what terminal I was talking about, but as soon as I revealed mine, she realized what I was after.

  “What are you going to do with them?” She asked.

  “Well I got a card yesterday that I think will make a transfer route between our two terminals. Probably. And that would be super useful.” I told her.

  “Transfer? Like teleportation?” Christina wondered.

  “Probably. We are about to find out.” I told her as I traded the two monsters Christiuro me for the card I needed from the Colle. I held Exge over our two terminals before I said. “Install.”

  As the card in my hand broke to pieces of light that were then absorbed by our terminals, a system s opened before me.

  Exge liablished between the Founder’s Terminal of Brian Wood and Master’s Terminal of Christina Wat. Transfer of small items betweeerminals is now possible.

  I looked at Christina. She didn’t seem to have a rea to the system s, so perhaps she ’t see it.

  “Did it work?” She asked.

  “I think so. I got a system s saying it worked. you see it?” I asked.

  “No. I don’t see anything.” She said before fog her vision on something in front of her. What is she looking at? “Actually, something did ge. My Card Summoner leveled up to level 2.” So she was looking at her status.

  “I see. Do you see any differeh it? I think you are the first one who got it to level up.” I told her.

  It’s iing that she was the first to level it up even though she has had it for the shortest time. Perhaps using a fusion monster or the exge link made it level up faster.

  Or even the exp she got through Dark Magi and St. Joan killing the va golem. But if that were the case, Alice should have leveled up hers after the wyverns. She did fight with Dark Magi Girl at that point after all. But then again, that could just be a theory.

  “I don’t see any differeh the skill.” She said.

  “I see. Well we should test out the exge link.” I responded. Now we need a test subject. Beaver Warrior, Where Arf Thou? Well, that spell ’t actually search out Beaver Warrior.

  “I’ll try to pass this card to you with the exge link. I’m not sure what will happen, but I think you might o receive it or something.” I told her.

  “Yes. Please send it to me.” She responded.

  As I was w how to do that, a small slit opened up in my terminal. It was about 12 cm wide and just about 2 cm tall. It’s more than enough for a card to pass though, even in a toploader, but not much else. Letters be passed with it as well, I suppose.

  I slid Beaver Warrior into the slot and my terminal fully absorbed the card. It looked strange as it almost seemed like the card went into my arm, but I didn’t feel anything.

  Just a sed ter, a soft light glowed on Christina’s terminal. She pced her hand on it, and the light opened up a slot like mine had. And from the slot, the Beaver Warrior card came out.

  “ came though. you send it back as well?” I asked.

  “Sure. I’ll do it now.” She responded. She thehe Beaver Warrior bato the slot.

  After a sed, my terminal glowed again. I also felt a small mana pulse from it, so I guess that is something like a notification. I might miss it if I’m in the middle of something, but Laura would definitely notibsp;

  I pced a finger on the light glowing oerminal. Then the slit opened in it again and the Beaver Warrior came out of it.

  “Well we were lucky it worked. I’ll work on your deck for now, if there is nothing else you need me to do.” I told Christina after the successful experiment.

  “Sure. I’ll keep an eye on the dungeon.” She responded.

  Now then. I already opeoday’s packs before I went to bed, so I get straight into the sleeves and toploaders.

  (Laura, will you take care of that part?) I asked.

  (Don’t I always?) She gave a snide remark.

  (Yes you do. And I’m super thankful for it.) I responded seriously.

  (130 sacrifices for 26 sleeves. Is this fine?) Laura offered.

  (... yes. Hopefully that will be enough.) I responded.

  130? That’s a ton of cards. But I do hese sleeves.

  Now. First things first. Emblem oroyer. That thing needs a toploader. Daily access to Buster Bder is just that good. And it will pay for itself in like 25 days. Not like that is super fast though. Pot of Greed pays for itself in just 2.

  I give Laura a sed to put the sleeve and toploader on it, before pulling it out of colle and activating it.

  “I activate Emblem oroyer.” I said quietly.

  The spell shone lightly, before the new card appeared on top of it.

  My new Buster Bder. I looked over the card and it’s set number was DL1-002. I recall that meaning a Duelist League promo.

  I then moved the Buster Bder out of the way to see the grayed out spell underh it. So it did go on cooldown normally. I o add activating this to the daily routih activating Upstart. I haven’t been activating Upstart Goblin while we’ve been in the dungeon, as I’m not sure how legal it actually is.

  “... well, now I need a sleeve for this as well.” I muttered. So much sleeve usage. Never enough sleeves.

  I pulled out a sleeve and slid the new Buster Bder into it. I get another one for myself tomorrow, so this is going to Christina. It shall be her boss monster. I also sleeved three Amazoness Fighters, three Padins, and one Archer and Tiger. Another 8 sleeves used. I only have 12 left.

  Then a toploader for Amazoness Spellcaster. That’s another 5 sleeves. 7 left.

  For the birds, sleeves were going on Ro the Valley of Haze, Eagle Eye and Cyber Fal. 4 Sleeves left.

  Thee one. Cat's Ear Tribe. Christina said she wa as well, so I’ll deliver.

  3 sleeves left. But I think that is all for now. The guillotihing ’t be dooday, as I don’t have enough sleeves for a toploader.

  I collected the 14 cards into a pile. I ’t exactly call it a deck, but it will work for now. I’ll make it better as I get some more sleeves. Well, the monster lineup isly bad for the rules we py under, so all this ‘deck’ really needs is some more spells and traps.

  “Here you go. I’m doh them for now.” I told Christina.

  “Thank you Brian.” She said as she received the deck.

  “I should also warn you. The cards have a longer cooldown than the one Alice has. You only summon the monsters from them once per day.” I told her.

  It’s not quite true, but close enough.

  “Ah, I see. That’s too bad.” She said as she was looking at the Cat’s Ear Tribe.

  “I might be able to upgrade them ter, but I ’t at the moment.” I told her.

  Well, I could, but I already sacked 130 cards for her. She wait for her toploaders.

  “I don’t remember these two from yesterday.” Christina ented on Cyber Fal and Buster Bder.

  “Well, I just noticed them and thought they would be good for you. Buster Bder is there instead of Big Koa to be your stro monster and Cyber Fal is just another mohat fly.” I told her. “I will also give you an Overdrive at some point before I leave, but I still need another card to bo with it.” And perhaps a Gradius as well, but I o test fly one first.

  “I see. Thank you for this. This will be a huge help.” Christina said.

  “Nothing but the best for my dungeon master.” I responded.

  “Oh. You shouldn’t tease me like that. I might do something you don’t like.” Christina looked at me with the eyes of a predator.

  “You say things like that and call me the teaser. Ironic, isn’t it?”
