We now stood in front of the gate that led to the Monster Town. Aside from the name, the mytuber was staring with his mouth agape, his camera pointed directly at the massive gate that was gradually raising itself.
“W-woah…” The mytuber uttered a shocked utterance, his hand holding the camera slightly trembling. “It’s… It’s bigger than I’d imagined…”
“Well, you will find that some objects here are built with creatures that tower over humans in mind.” I shrugged as the gate fully opened itself with the help of the various residents atop the ramparts. “It would also be nice to have some larger space to store some of our stuff.”
“No joke.” The mytuber sweatdropped as the camera moved to face an orc who was on his way out, hefting a large stack of logs on his shoulders.
“Boss.” The orc greeted me with a nod, to which I responded with an acknowledging smile. “Who this puny human?”
The orc towered over the human as he leaned down to closely inspect the shivering mytuber.
“H-Hi…” The mytuber squeaked out a response as he hid behind his camera.
“Heh, weak meat.” The orc snorted before looking back at me with an acknowledging nod. “Me continue with task, boss. Good day.”
The orc left silently once he was done greeting me and intimidating the mytuber, who was still trembling at the scary encounter with the orc.
“Those fantasy books and anime did them no justice, did they?” The mytuber nodded furiously at my comment. “Well, enough standing around. We still have a huge tour that I have to show you.”
The mytuber nodded and we entered the Monster Town. Tapping my shoulder, Drake whispered to me that he would separate from us for the time being. Catalina, meanwhile, all but clung to me as her tail snaked itself around my waist.
As Drake walked away, the mytuber continued to film every agonizing detail he could with his camera.
“So, any questions so far?”
“Yes, actually.” The mytuber scratched his cheek with his free hand. Pointing towards the exotic monsters, he questioned, “Are they arachnes?”
“Yes, they are.” I looked towards the monster he was pointing at. She was small, with a human upper body and a spider lower body… And she was skittering towards me at a rapid pace.
“Big hairy monster!” The young arachne all but yelled as she sped towards me with manic glee. Jumping on my leg, she rapidly scaled my body and settled once more on my back, her human body hugging my head like a body pillow.
Beside me, Catalina looked a bit shocked and creeped out at the action, but otherwise cooed when she saw the innocent expressions of the young arachne giggling as she clung to me.
All of this was recorded on camera, mind you.
“Ah! Dungeon Master Jionni!” A familiar voice brought me out of my stupor as another arachne ran after the little menace, her spider legs skittering across the ground. “T-terribly sorry about my little sister.”
“It’s fine.” I waved her off as I patted the young monster girl behind me, which elicited more giggling as she snuggled into the back of my head.
All the while, the mytuber caught everything on camera, a grin forming on his face.
“Yo, Qhithish, been a good girl?” She nodded as she kept on leaning into my touch. Laughing, I rubbed her head before grabbing her waist. “Anyway, you should get back to your sister. I still have some stuff to do.”
The young arachne pouted, but otherwise, nodded as she skittered back to her older sister, who was giving her younger sister a tired smile.
“Qhandi, tell Aratella I’m going to visit her later. I have something to tell her.” She nodded, and the two of them went on their way. Looking back at the mytuber, he was giving me a look. Rolling my eyes, I gestured for him to follow me once again.
“So, any other questions?” As we walked around the town, various monsters, humans, and demi-humans greeted us all the while, I asked the mytuber. The mytuber hummed before locking his gaze on another monster.
“Is that a…” Looking at where he locked his gaze on, I saw a good-looking goblin male, who was busy eating some kind of slop, which they have a taste for.
“A goblin? Yes. If you’re asking what they’re eating, I have no idea, just that they have taste for it.” I shook my head as I exhaled. “Anyway, any other questions not pertaining to monsters?”
The mytuber opened his mouth, before closing it and thinking hard about his next question.
“Yes, actually, is what you said about your… Currency true?” Tilting my head, I accessed the Dungeon Market and bought a phone that was the pinnacle of their technology currently. For some reason, anything that was related to Earth was drastically cheaper than back on Praeccathae.
“Yes.” Tossing him the phone, the mytbuer caught it while fumbling about. “Check the specs of that phone.”
An eyebrow raised, the mytuber scrolled through the settings and checked the phone’s specs. Once he saw it, he did a spit take.
“Yo, what the fuck!?” The mytuber looked at my shit-eating grin with his mouth wide-open. “This isn’t a hallucination, right?”
“Nope. Take it, I have no need for it anyway.” The mytuber gulped down his salive, before showing the specs of the smartphone to the camera.
64 GB ram, 1 TB storage, and a nice gaming processor.
That was for a phone, mind you.
“Papa…?” I stiffened up when I heard the voice of my surrogate daughter. Looking behind me, I saw Domino approaching me with a flat face. “Papa… Who is that?”
She pointed at the mytuber without shifting her expression. The man, who glanced at the young girl, had his mouth drop even further.
“You… You are this girl’s father…?”
“Surrogate father.” I corrected the mytuber before any misunderstandings could crop up. I’ve had enough with those from the arachnes village. I’d like to not see those misunderstandings anymore, thank you very much. “And yes, I am.”
I lifted her up onto my shoulders, where she snuggled closer into my head. Catalina, who was content with observing the situation play out, approached the two of us and snuggled even closer.
“Mama…” Domino’s words caused the man to freeze up. Not that I don’t understand. A gorilla, albeit one that looked like a human, had a beautiful catwoman as a girlfriend, and had a cute daughter.
I was also the leader of my own Dungeon, which was pretty much an isolated country with its own self-sustainable economy.
It wouldn’t be out of place to see even a hint of envy in the eyes of the mytuber.
“So, HelloWorld, meet Domino, my cute, surrogate daughter.” I rubbed Domino’s head. “Be careful, though; she’s hostile towards any of those not associated with my Dungeon, meaning you.”
The man shrunk slightly as the piercing gaze of my daughter bore into his figure.
“Anyway, I think it’s time I end this tour. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me right now.” The man perked up and cupped his chin.
“How dangerous are the other Dungeon Masters compared to you?” I raised an eyebrow at his question.
“Ah, finally, a question that’s important to your world’s survival.” I smiled before approaching the man. “The answer is pretty simple: I’ve already told you that I’m like an ant compared to others, but what are the specifics? Let’s just say I’m a grenade, and they are nuclear warheads.”
The man paled, and I gave him another one of those teleport stones.
“So, for all of those watching this livestream right now, please, for your safety, prepare for some weird shit.” I snapped my fingers and the man was teleported out of my Dungeon. “Ugh… I want to go back to sleep now.”
“How about we cuddle?” Catalina suggested, and Domino nodded gleefully, though her expression did not show how happy she was.
“Sure.” I sighed and hugged the two with my arms. “Could use some sleep and some hugs right about now. If there was any other option, I would’ve taken those, but nope, my Dungeon entrance just had to appear inside a classroom…”
Heading to the house that was mine in the Human Town, Domino, Catalina, and I chatted about some other mundane topics.

~ Third Person POV ~
“Ahahaha! A new vorld avaits!” Odette glanced at the huge skyscrapers and humans that were passing by her. The humans that she saw looked at her like she was just some lost child with a very strong imaginative mind. “Time fur more experiments!”
The girl cackled as she looked at a nearby skyscraper.
“But first, some nice experiments!” Odette grinned as she pointed towards a nearby skyscraper, before she channeled magic into her hand.
The next moment, a giant fireball flew towards the skyscraper, shouts and screams echoing throughout the area as it impacted against the building.
Glass shattered and humans burned.. As all the chaos ensued, Odette smiled maliciously, as various humans stayed clear of the dangerous child who wielded flames.
