Before we start, and yes it's me; The Narrator. My paycheck has been threatened so I do this, so I'm gonna do it anyway.
We do not own Kuroinu, but we do own Dungeons. It's our property from the beginning.
Actually it's not really but he's just saying it cause he feels like it.
Anyways, before we begin: the reviews.
Reviews
davidomega59: Firstly, sounds cool to do, but at the same time: Isaiah isn't a soul reaper. He's a Melee combatant but not a soul reaper. He's not ripping souls out of people.
I'm not gonna spoil what kind of fighter he is, but just letting you know.
Oh, and we can't afford to make a reference to Diablo 3 just yet.
Chronos0305: Glad you like it. Like I mentioned above he is gonna be a melee fighter, but what type I cannot spoil for the sake of my paycheck.
Oh and people can't hear The Narrator, well normal people just can't….
Perseus12: He is getting an army of course. He's the Underlord after all! XD
Oh and he's not gonna be needing a familiar. I tell you that in future chapters he's not gonna even need one in the first place.
Danteinfernus: Basically yep.
METALHELLSPWN: Yeah her spells were kinda a pain to deal with honestly, and this is me now talking xD. I should actually make a funny reference to that actually.
TheOnlyKing: Ok sir, but do you know what Dungeons is? Ever even played the game? The Narrator breaks the Fourth wall. He narrates whilst being comedic and making references here and there. That is what he does! Yes! This is a serious story, and yes it started out serious but now that he is introduced, there is now gonna be the Narrator doing the comedic parts of the story.
There will be times and certain parts however when the story will go serious, as in actually serious, but we haven't even gotten to those parts yet.
So your gonna have to wait.
Chapter 3
"AHH!"
The little green thing that Isaiah came face-to-face with suddenly shuffled back and ran behind a mound of dirt. It did nothing to hide its whimpering.
Isaiah reeled back with aversion and surprise at this development.
"W-what is that!?" he questioned, looking behind at The Narrator.
"Now this is an unexpected development. I was expecting you to be digging up this mess, and not randomly meeting a Snot"
"A Snot?" Isaiah raised an eyebrow. He pointed over to the creature, prompting it to reel its head back to cover. "You mean the green little thing over there?"
"Yes, that there is a Snot. They are vital creatures for your Dungeons, well for any Dungeons actually. They are your workforce, they do everything in your Dungeon from digging new pathways and rooms to making beer, hospital work and other things. Actually now that I'm seeing one, I'm quite surprised."
"How come? Did they go bye-bye or something?"
"In a way, yes, after the UE's demise, the Snots mysteriously disappeared. Without them to operate the important functions of the Dungeons, the other Monsters could no longer live in them, and either left or were killed
I honestly thought they all died off or something, but with this one being here says otherwise"
"Basically there not dead is what you mean"
"Yes"
Isaiah stared at the little green creature, still quivering behind the rubble. After a minute he rolled his eyes.
No point in just standing there, staring. Like a creep.
He's going to be a future ruler, so he might as well start acting like one.
"Hey, tiny mook" Isaiah called out. His words, unfortunately, made the Snot hide even more behind the rubble.
"Seriously? Why is it so bloody frightened of me?"
"Surprisingly, Snots do know who is the evil boss, and you little Underlord is radiating enough evil energy to recharge Mana crystals for life"
"Is that how it found me? How do I turn it off?"
"Beg your pardon?"
"How. Do. I. Turn. It. Off. I'm not going to repeat that. I can't have people with magic easily finding me or something in the future"
"In due time you will learn how to suppress your aura, at the moment we should be fine as deep underground as we are only the most powerful or those tied to the Ultimate Evils power would sense it"
The Narrator's answer earned a frown from Isaiah. Isaiah glanced back at the still-whimpering Snot.
Since he's gonna be the Underlord of this place, he might as well start acting like one.
"Stop hiding from there, come out and look at me!"
The Snot cried out in fear but reluctantly emerged out from behind the rubble.
"Y-y-yes s-sir?" The little Snot shakily replied.
"Don't yes sir me!" Isaiah barked back. "It's yes My Lord!"
"Y-yes s-s-I mean my Lord?"
Isaiah rolled his eyes. "Somewhat better. Tell me Snot, where did you come from and how did you survive?"
"I-I came from the Mountains" The Snot replied. "The mountains up North! Many others, also there too!"
"How many?"
"Many my Lord! Plenty of us to obey you!"
"Hmmm, I see. Do me a favour. Go back to where you come from and bring your kind along. From this day you work for me"
"Yes my Lord"
"Now scuttle along" Isaiah shooed the Snot away with his hand and the Snot went on his way.
"Narrator" Isaiah called.
"And now you're talking to me?"
"It's not like I left you idle for an hour." Isaiah retorted. "You mind telling me how to manage Snots? And what do I need to do?"
"Hmm, might as well tell you" The Narrator replied. "I was planning on having you figure it out but I don't think the UE would like that"
"Sure… "
Ken: that same rip-off place from Lord of the Rings
And so, the young, short Underlord began his quest of vengeance, by first tackling the challenge of managing the Snots.
I wasn't really meant to teach him anything but I don't think the UE would like that, hence why I had to teach him management skills.
Anyways, as I, The Narrator, teach the little-Mastermind about being a manager, meanwhile in the shiny-plain capital of Ken, a meeting was taking place between the Reincarnated Goddess herself, her Loyal compatriots and the Council.
Honestly, now that I'm looking at her, she doesn't look like a Goddess. Just a High elf with….big proportions…
"Thank you all for coming here" Spoke Celestine, looking at each and everyone in the room. "Unfortunately sir Volt won't be joining us for this meeting as he is busy defending the border"
"It's not a bother Goddess" Maia responded. "Well actually thanks for the invite, kinda needed something other than me fighting all the time"
"We could all use something else other than fighting, Maia" Spoke Claudia. "However, we cannot allow ourselves to even take rest, not whilst the Dark Queen and her monsters continue to attack us"
"Yeah, speaking of which, why are we all here Lady Celestine?" Maia asked her. "I was in the middle of pushing the Legion out of Calais with my group before you summoned me"
"I know Maia, and I am sorry for pulling you out of an important task" Celestine apologised. "However recent events have to lead to this"
"What is it, Lady Celestine?" Alicia, leader of the Iris Knights asked. "Is the Dark Queen scheming something?"
"No not Olga" Celestine shook her head. "She isn't the one behind this meeting's reason"
"Then what is the problem, Lady Celestine?" A nobleman questioned. "If not the Dark Queen then what?"
"A few nights ago, I foresaw a vision..."
"A vision, Lady Celestine?" Another Noble questioned. "What was this vision about?"
"Be patient, Lord Birmingham" It was Alicia who spoke. "Lady Celestine is getting to it"
"...From this vision, I can be certain of one thing. Something malevolent has awoken somewhere in Eostia, and it's coming here"
What was spoken, shocked all who listened? No sooner than the words left her mouth, did the room erupted into symphonic chaos.
Words were exchanged aggressively amongst the many Nobles; some contradicting Celestine's claims whilst others supporting it, if but with a pinch of salt. The small few chose to keep quiet.
"Order! There will be order here!" Claudia demanded, slamming her hand onto the table multiple times.
"My Lady, are you certain of this?" Alicia asked. Celestine nodded. What she said next to them made them all fall silent.
"I am most certainly certain, Alicia" Celestine confirmed. "This..new threat...he... he could somehow interact with me in my visions"
To show that she had said it was true, she reached up to the collar of her dress and pulled it down, exposing the burnt mark left by the UE to all.
"...This is troubling indeed" Lord Campbell spoke for the first time since the meeting began. "Not only we have to deal with Olga and her monsters but also this new threat, who could interfere with our Goddess. This...just make this new threat more of a threat to us now, given the fact that we are strained with manpower"
Alicia nodded in agreement. "We were promised reinforcements from the Kingdom of Arcadia, but they have yet to arrive"
"Indeed, and now recent Legion raids and battles have pushed us to the edge. If it wasn't for Volt and the Black Dogs arrival, I doubt we would have survived these attacks"
"Yes, which is why I propose that we stop this new threat before it could gain power" stated Celestine.
"Or worst, either it ends with Olga attacking us once more" Sir Campbell added. "Or has been founded by the Dark Queen and swayed to her side"
Everyone in the room agreed with her.
"I doubt that it could be allied with Olga'' Lord Birmingham vacillated. "But that could very well change. Two powerful entities are an unimaginable threat already!"
"I am willing to provide some of my house guards to this mission, Lady Celestine" Lord Campbell contributed.
"So will I" A noble lady also contributed. "However, who will lead this force?"
"I will!"
"M-Maia?" Kaguya the Shrine Maiden said perplexed. "Are you sure?"
"I agree with Kaguya, Maia, are you certain you want to do this?" Celestine asked her. Maia nodded.
"Definitely. Who else knows the Dark lands like the back of their hands? I've been there many times with Volt"
"Any ayes?" Claudia spoke. A chorus of ayes resounded from the assembled nobles.
"Nahs?" Her question was met with silence.
"Full aye my Lady" Claudia told Celestine.
Celestine contemplated on her decision. A few seconds later she nodded.
"Very well then. I hereby send Lady Maia to the Dark Lands to deal with this new threat. When your ready Maia, you can leave as quickly as you can to the Dark Lands"
"How do we know that this new threat is in the Dark Lands?" A noble question. "And not hiding somewhere in our lands?"
"If it were hiding in our own territory, then I would have sensed it by now" Celestine answered. "As for its exact location in the Dark Lands...I do not know where it is located"
"Guess I'm going to have to start somewhere then" Maia sighed. "Hopefully I can find it and stop it before it can grow in power. Speaking of which, how do I stop it?"
"Perhaps I can provide a solution to that problem" Lord Campbell spoke. "I know a well powerful mage who I had previously employed in my services. She is strong and probably might know a way in stopping the threat"
"Where can we find this sorcerer?" Maia asked.
"She should still be around here. She usually goes from place to place. I might just be able to get into contact with her"
"Please contact her as soon as possible Lord Campbell," Celestine said. "We'll need all the help that we can get"
The Dark Fortress, oh so scary!
Meanwhile, within the Throne Room of the Dark Fortress, The Dark Queen herself has just prepared a force of monsters to be sent out at once. This force's sole objective is the acquisition of the mysterious entity that had haunted the Queen's dream a few nights ago.
Now the only thing missing was a suitable commander to lead them-
Oh wait, I am now getting reports that this suitable commander had just returned from the frontlines!
I wonder who she is?
Hold on a second! That's-!
"Lady Olga, I have returned from my successful attack" The suitable commander declared, bowing before Olga.
Olga smiled. "Welcome back. I suspect that the raid was a success?"
"Yes, my Queen" Thalya smiled. "We have acquired a bountiful of...loot and goods. They didn't know what hit them"
"Excellent. Splendid work, Thayla"
Hold on a second! No seriously hold on! Thayla works for The Dark Queen now!?
When was this established!?
She belongs to Dungeon 3! This is a separate matter to the continuation of Dungeons 2!
I need a serious talk to management after this! This is serious-!
Hold on what?
You mean you hired her? You mean she's getting PAID to be here!?
Is she alright with the whole "Nsfw" thing going on?
"So wait you mean she doesn't know she's going to be... Alright then, if you say so."
"If that is all that my queen wants me to do," Thalya said. "I'll be taking my leave now"
"Actually Thayla" It was Chloe who spoke this time. "We kinda have another task for you to do"
"Another one? You sure it's not for you, Chloe?" Thayla responded with a smirk. "Skipping work again are you, just so that you can be with your queen?"
Chloe's face lit up with a blush. "W-what do you mean!"
Thayla rolled her eyes. "Stop denying it Chloe, we all know your little crush on our Queen here"
"That's-!"
"Enough, both of you," Olga ordered. "I shall not have childish bickering here"
"Forgive me, my queen" both dark elves apologised.
"So, Lady Olga, what is this new task that you have given me?" Thayla questioned. "This isn't the normal thing to do, sending your best commander on another mission after the last one"
"Yes and please do forgive me for having to put this on your shoulders, but there has been an unexpected development"
"Unexpected?" Thayla raised an eyebrow. "So even the Dark Queen herself cannot foresee a great threat," She said that part to herself.
"So what is this threat that I'm being sent to deal with?" Thayla asked.
"I don't know what this threat is" Olga began. "All that I know that it must be stopped before it grows too powerful...Thayla, you have lived longer than I had, tell me, were there any powerful entities that existed during your time?"
"Well…" Thayla began. "There were quite a few during my time. There was Gurangi the Molten Mountain, but he's long gone, there was also the Archean King, and the Maister, but none of them lived that long. Why so?"
"Do you know what each of them look like?"
"Of course, my Queen"
"Does the image of an imposing, heavily armoured figure, wielding a massive mace ring any bells for you?"
"Heavily armoured figure, imposing, wields a large bludgeon weapon…" Thayla muttered.
She stared up at the ceiling, looking as though she was in deep thought, before staring back at Olga.
"Hmm, nope, not anyone I know of. This possibly might be the first time that I'm hearing about this character. There were many unique individuals back then during my time that it's difficult to keep track."
"Hmmm, I see" Olga nodded. "If even you don't know of this, then dealing with this threat would be more...challenging"
"I'm basically walking blindly into this ain't I?" Thayla sighed. "Well, not the worst thing I've ever done, So my Queen wants me to stop this new threat before it could grow dangerous?"
"That is correct, Thayla. You may not know of this surfacing threat, but I believe that you would be able to overcome this new enemy"
Thayla saluted. "Do not worry my queen, I can assure you that whatever is scaring you won't scare you again"
"Lady Olga is not scared of anything" Chloe stated, scowling at Thayla.
Thayla simply rolled her eyes. "Humph, whatever you say, Chloe. Anyways, when am I leaving?"
"Whenever you are ready, Thayla," Olga replied. "But the sooner, the better"
"That's good to hear," Thayla smiled. "Then that means I can get going tomorrow then"
"Eh!? Hold on a second! Thayla!" Chloe exclaimed to the retreating Dark Elf. "What do you think you're doing!?"
"Going to take a nap of course!" Thayla responded. "You had me working for three days! I expect a raise in my pay for this! Now leave me alone! I wanna sleep!"
"But-!"
"Leave her Chloe," Olga told her. "She deserves some rest after the work that she had put up in the past recent days"
"Yes my queen" Chloe nodded, then she sighed. "Seriously though, why can't she just take her position as one of your commanders, more seriously?"
Olga chuckled in amusement.
"Just leave her be, Chloe. Despite her casual attitude, she is an invaluable asset for us"
"As you say my Queen"
As the two Dark Elves conversed with one another, we now turn to Thayla, who is walking down the corridor to her quarters.
"So…. It seems that he has awakened at last" Thayla muttered, a smile plastered on her face.
She lied about not knowing who Olga was talking about. Actually, scratch that, she kinda lied a lot during that conversation.
She is aware of who the UE was. Like seriously though; Heavily armoured figure, imposing and intimidating and wields a large bludgeon weapon? That just screams the Ultimate Evil to her.
She also knew of his defeat many years ago. She may not have been there to witness but she lived long enough to witness his every accomplishment destroyed.
"Hmmm, the energy that Olga has felt must have been faint, light enough for even her to feel. If it were any larger then even I would have felt it, but if someone like Olga sensed it then why didn't I? Hmmm, maybe cause he was recently freed, or that she was in the area of effect and I wasn't?..."
Thayla shrugged, clearly not gonna bother to solve this question.
"Doesn't matter really, the Ultimate Evil might still be weak from his recent awakening, thus the opportunity arises for me to take his power for myself"
She smiled. "Heh, I'd then be able to take control of things around here, that Olga is making me sick, can't even take the reins properly as a Dark Queen"
I honestly don't know where we are, so I'm just gonna call it the Underground.
And now, at last, we return to the little Underlord himself. Finally, though, I was getting the pukes just from being there, partially.
Anyways, with the Snotling workforce under new management; his management to be exact, Isaiah could not begin the gruelling process of cleaning up the Dungeon.
Which were the one and only objective that the little Underlord had been committed to for the next three days?
The task itself was easy, it was what the task decided to throw at the work-in-progress evil ruler, was the entertaining part.
For whilst the Snots cleared up the debris and rubble, they would accidentally stumble across many spider nests and salamander dens.
These surprising discoveries lead to our first-time ruler here to be chased around helplessly by the creatures, like a helpless little-
"Finish that sentence, and I'll surely kill you"
Now there little Underlord, you just simply can't kill me I'm-
"I'll find a way myself if you keep it up" Isaiah threatened to which The Narrator wisely decided to back off, for now at least.
"Why are you offering me a mug of beer?" Isaiah questioned, staring directly at the Snot who approached him with the drink in hand.
"Master wants to sample?" the Snotling asked innocently. He raised up the mug to him.
"What do I look like? An alcoholic to you? Have someone else drink that and not me. Got it!?"
The Snot squealed in fright. "Y-yes, sir-!"
"Get to it then, and I don't want to see you again unless you're with a glass of water"
The little snot quickly scampered away. Isaiah heavily sighed.
You know scaring your workforce is a nice gesture but you should refrain yourself from snapping every now and then
"I know, but I can hardly care at this point" Isaiah responded back. "You could say my weakness is controlling my anger. A lack of self-control if you will"
I could guess given your vexation over the last three days
"I didn't think ordering people around would be difficult. Honestly, I'm more of doing things myself"
Well, then take this time as a learning experience for yourself, to become better at being an Underlord.
Isaiah rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah I know"
For Isaiah, the last three days have seen much progress for not only the Dungeon but for him as well.
After the recent mishap with the creatures, the Ultimate Evil had decided to place him under combat training, much to his joy. However, that joy quickly died down when he discovered how cruelly intense it is.
If the brutal exercise wasn't enough, The bloody Gauntlet was using it to be his coach of all things.
It won't stay still for fuck sake!
For now, he's just resting his body from yet another training run. At least he's getting better at carrying that massive bludgeon. The UE had the Snots make his weapon for him, at least he could have told them to make the weapon lighter, or he should have said that himself to them.
"Where the hell did that snot go with my drink?" Isaiah sighed. "Did he just become occupied or something? I don't know anymore, I'll just think of a punishment for him when I see him"
Aren't you going to inspect the Snots current work right now?
"Later, I want to rest, give me five minutes and I'll go then" with that said, Isaiah laid down onto the floor.
"Well then, guess I'll leave you to that then, where-".
"Boss! Boss! We found something!" A Snot shouted, running towards the already irritated Isaiah.
"Fu-!"
Led by the Snots, Isaiah was brought to their new discovery. A fairly large room was what they found, large enough to fit a troll inside perfectly.
It was made of dense stone, with numerous cracks scattered across its surface. The dark purple cracks glowed ominously, and its walls were decorated with many gothic architectural designs.
However, it was the enormous structure in the middle of the room that has earned Isaiah's attention the most.
Four large spikes made of dense rock that menacingly curve upwards to the ceiling.
Within this arrangement of rock laid a worn down magic circle that has certain sections of it missing.
"What is this?"
"Ah this is an excellent development, it looks like the Snots had rediscovered the Vortex Room."
"Vortex Room?"
"In other words, a Demon Portal"
"Wait, a Demon portal?" Isaiah raised his eyebrow. "For like summoning actual Demons?"
"Yes, that's basically what it does. The Vortex room is used to summon forth Demons into our services. They don't need a special healing room to heal as they can heal themselves, but would prefer to have Mana baths for relaxation. Which means that your probably gonna have to find a source of Mana in the Dungeon"
"Hold on a second, aren't Demons beings that you can't trust? Even when you have made a contract with them? The minute we get one into our services they'll just no doubt find a way to backstab us for their own benefit"
"Where in the abyss did you hear about this? Because what you said is not true at all"
"Well, when I was younger and still had a family, my grandpa would tell me of such stories," Isaiah replied. "Like never trust a Demon or be wary of Blood Moons."
"Hmmm, now that's an interesting fact altogether"
"Anyways, how do we, well I know that a Demon that we're gonna be summoning won't betray us? I know that we're gonna be summoning something, I can tell what's your plan is after telling me all that"
"If you're going to become the Underlord and rule overall, then you'll need a fighting force to help you achieve your goals. You can't just do it alone you know"
"Of course I can't do it alone, but hiring Demons into my servitude, are you sure about that?"
"Very positive, don't you trust me as your own advisor, little Underlord?"
Isaiah rolled his eyes.
"Anyways, you'll have to activate the Vortex in order to use it. Once done you can then begin summoning your first Demon so that we can create a new contract with them. Our last one is probably already expired at this point"
"So how do I activate this portal?" Isaiah moved towards the portal, eyes scanning the structure. "Is there like a lever or something?"
"Normally it should be active since the Dungeon Heart is also active too"
Isaiah continued scanning the portal, inspecting for anything that could somehow make it work.
"Hmm, what's this?" Isaiah leaned a little close to the structure. "Oh, it's just some writing"
He wiped some dirt that hid parts of the writing, as his hand swiped across the letters abruptly began glowing. Before Isaiah could register his action, the portal abruptly came alive.
Runic patterns swiftly appeared on the spikes, and the disrepair circle had seemed to have repaired itself.
"Well it seems like you don't need to find a lever anymore"
"I was expecting something a bit more….oh well then, anyways how do I summon one? Or are you just gonna drop the Almanac on me again?"
"Humph, you're no fun. Anyways, in short, you'll need-."
As The Narrator was going to teach Isaiah, the circle suddenly shone brighter than before. It gathered their attention and thus were rewarded with the emergence of a woman from the circle.
Bit by bit, the woman revealed herself.
A slender and attractive frame, in possession of flawless smooth skin, wide shapely hips, breasts a tad larger than Isaiah's own head. She had long purple hair that flowed past her waist and alluring yellow eyes. She stood a foot taller than Isaiah, thus making him reach up to her chest.
She wore a very revealing and skimpy outfit, making no effort to hide her alluring parts, and finally, she held a pair of black feathered wings on her back and the pair of horns on her head.
She emerged fully from the circle, a small smirk on her face as she sauntered towards Isaiah. The Underlord shook in his place. This aura that this woman had….it's not normal, he felt like he was being consumed and yet he can't do anything to suppress it.
"Hoh~? Are you the one who courageously summoned me?" she questioned Isaiah. He shakingly nodded.
"Y-yes, I did" It is surprising that he could talk, but barely can he put his thoughts together "W-who are y-you?"
She smiled amorously and Isaiah felt a wave of enmity coming from her, but that didn't matter to him as he quaked uncontrollably with lust.
"My name is Radomira, and I have come in response to your summoning, my dear little master~"
