Moving through the once more created passageway leading to the Dungeon Core Room, I pondered on how to deal with the remaining pests outside of my Dungeon.

It is no secret that their commander sent a messenger towards the town about the difficulty of my Dungeon, so I can expect a harder subjugation force to come after me within the next few hours, or days.

Arriving once more in the Dungeon Core Room, I spot Domino once more laying on the hammock I provided her. She spotted me within the corner of her vision and dropped down from the hammock. She then ran towards me with her never-changing expressionless face.

“Papa…” She quickly rammed into me and hugged the ever living out of my thick, hairy arm. “Safe…”

I patted her head, then promptly lifted her onto my back. She plopped herself on my silver back and snuggled into my fur. I chuckled at the display, even if I couldn’t see it.

“So, are the elves awake yet?” I asked and she patted my head with her hand.

“No… Elves still asleep…” She grumbled, but that was natural for her. I’ve found out that she isn’t misanthropic… No… She just hates everything not from the Dungeon. From birds, to harmless insects, and naturally, since the humans and demi-humans are from the outside of the Dungeon, she is cautious around them.

Loyalty is a fickle thing, after all.

They pose a threat, and with them inside the Dungeon Core Room, they only need to approach my Dungeon Core and destroy it. The consequences of such actions, I don’t know yet, but I’d rather not find out.

I need to relocate them. It’s too risky…

Before that, though, I needed to use the Dungeon Spin.

“Hey, Domino, want to see me spin the Dungeon Wheel?” She perked up and nodded her head when she heard my question. I grinned and she climbed higher and settled close to my head, where she could get a good view of what I could get.

Spinning… Spinning… Spinning… Silver Prize Awarded!

Obtained [Lightning Manipulation] Skillbook x1

From the silver box, a book floated out, lightning crackling around it. My eyes widened.

“Congratulations… Papa…”

“Yes… Congratulations indeed…” I grinned. Of all the things I could gain, I gained more magic to use. If I add this to my repertoire of skills, I can be even more versatile when in fights.

Plus, who doesn’t want to see a Raijin gorilla?

I quickly read it and absorbed the knowledge.

Skill Learned, [Lightning Manipulation]

Lightning Manipulation – The ability to create and manipulate lightning. Only applicable to the user’s lightning or natural lightning. Passively increases AGI and DEX by 20, and INT and WIS by 30.

Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I inspected my status because of that 10-day no EXP gain bullshit debuff. I swear, once I find Sogtharoch, I will castrate him, then throw him into a pool of lava.

… I need to find a way to increase that luck stat…

Anyway, still have no clue what the power level of humans when judging with these stats. I really need an observe skill so I can see just how I compare with these Hunters and other monsters.

Although, from my previous encounters, I am probably already stronger than average humans.

I lifted Domino off my back and stepped about a dozen meters away from her. Hmm… Let’s see if I can pull off a Raijin Thundergod mode rip-off.

I gather my mana and imagine lightning coating my body. Crackling sounds began ringing in my ears, blue flashes of light flashing within my vision. The grass beneath me began to catch fire, while the ground began to scorch.

My fur began to stand on end, and my muscles began to tense from the strain. With a loud yell, I stomped, the ground cracking and exploding due to the impact. The lightning around me dispersed as I dropped down to the ground in exhaustion.

MP: 225 / 2025

Okay… I did not expect it to consume that much MP, but I guess it is par for the course. It must be an advanced ability, and with my low-ass level in [Lightning Manipulation], it is still far from my reach.

Still, though, that was pretty cool. If I could use it in my battles, then everybody would be wary of me.

“Papa!” Domino rushed towards me with a worried look on her normally expressionless face. “Are you alright…?”

“Hng… I’m fine, just tired.” I plopped on my back while trying to regain my breath back. Domino then proceeded to jump and sit on my belly.

“Muu… Papa~” Her expressionless face broke down into a satisfied smile. I smiled as well and patted her head with my giant hands.

“By the way, Domino,” She opened her eyes and stared at my face with her smile gone, “Don’t we have another Dungeon Floor?”

“Yes…” Domino explained as she rested herself on top of my belly. “Dungeon Floor adds one more floor to the Dungeon… All Dungeon Floors have the same number of rooms on every floor…”

… Wait what…? All Dungeon Floors have the same number of rooms…? Holy shit that is busted… No wonder adding floors can only be achieved by milestones…

And with enough DP, you can double the size of your Dungeon with just a single purchase of a room.

I grinned at the mechanic. Now that my Dungeon has a second floor, I can begin to expand my Dungeon, as well as summon more monsters as well.

“Domino, buy another Forest room, and this time, don’t merge it with the Forest area.” I picked Domino up and brought her back down to the ground, all the while a pout graced her face. “Relocate the humans and demi-humans there. That room will be their quarters.”

Let’s see if we can build a town on the first floor of my Dungeon.
