Chapter: 109

“Weird,” Jay stashed it in his inventory. “Maybe I’ll sell it later” he thought “Come to think of it, I still have to sell those green crystals… I could probably sell the charged ones to that brat for a decent price too. I better check what the prices are at the guild first before trying though… come to think of it, that brat could check too and realise I ripped him off… Maybe I’ll just sell them,” he shrugged.

“The charged ones only do 5 damage anyway, and my unstable teeth attacks already do that, with a chance to do 4 extra damage from the [Propagative Stress Rupturing].” he checked his inventory, finding he only had twelve teeth left.

“Seems like I’ll need to send the boys into the marsh.” he thought “I wonder how much a tent costs.”

Jay was making plans to camp near the stink-rat marsh dungeon entrance so he didn’t have to go back into that stinking, sweaty cesspool which was almost a celebration of filth.

“Maybe I’ll find a tent tomorrow while I’m ditching Mark” he emotionlessly thought.

Sitting down for a moment, Jay considered if he should head back home. “Hmm, I’ve been here for at least 5 hours, not including that time I fell asleep… so maybe even 10 hours? It’s probably night time outside; though I don’t feel tired yet, I’m more hungry than anything, so It’s probably getting close to dinner time.”

Even though he was close to levelling up, Jay decided to exit the dungeon – the dungeon responding to his thought.


The lamp burned out and went dark; Jay was in pitch darkness – then suddenly, the darkness disappeared and Jay found himself outside the dungeon with his three skeletons while the lamp had disappeared.

Looking around, Jay realised he was out of the dungeon again.

“Huh, a magic lamp.” Jay looked at his skeleton he named Lamp “I wonder if you can learn some magic someday..” he smiled slyly as he thought about his enemies having to fight a magic skeleton.

“Huh, pretty good dungeon. It was a little more environmentally hazardous than stink-rat marsh, with a slightly higher variety of monsters.. Oh, and that one trap…” A shiver went up Jay’s spine as he recalled that demonic-looking mirror.

“Though I didn’t reach the dungeon boss, I can always come back later. Hopefully it drops a unique item too.” Jay thought, looking at his coat.

“I wonder why no one else has this coat… maybe they just sell it for something better? Hmm, maybe I got it due to my class though, or perhaps it’s a special reward for being the first monster class to clear the dungeon…” Jay scratched his chin “Could it be the hidden quest?… well, I guess I’ll see if the next dungeon boss drops anything.”

It was dark at this point. Looking around at his skeletons, he wondered what to do with them before going back to town.

Jay knew he couldn’t bring the skeletons back to town so he had to make a decision..

“Hmm, sending them back into the dungeon would be too risky, it’s a little too high level at the moment, and I don’t want to lose their blue bones.”

Jay didn’t want to desummon them either because he knew that each time he resummoned them, he would lose some residual bone mass, like with his bone daggers.

Knowing he needed more teeth, he decided to send them back to the stink-rat marsh.

“Come.” the skeletons line up before him, as he handed his old buckler to Lamp.

“You’re to enter the stink-rat marsh dungeon. Bring me back rat teeth. Avoid all humans. Do not kill anything outside of the dungeon.” Jay voiced his orders.

While the skeletons were semi-autonomous, he could still control them with his thoughts – though he found that voicing his orders seemed to give more power to his orders, making them clearer and to solidify his motives; it wasn’t that the skeletons would disobey, but more that they would gain a better understanding of what to do.

Since it was dark outside and the forest was dangerous at night, Jay made sure his minions followed him until he could see the torches and glowing orbs of the village. As he made his way through the forest, it was eerily quiet.

The moonlight cast a faint light over his surroundings, though it made Jay feel like the light was only on him and he was a beacon to target, however he made his way back to the village safely, while his skeletons slipped off into the darkness of the forest.

A guard spotted Jay as he approached the village but ignored him after Jay got closer, the guard realising he was human and not some monster tearing up the forest – the guards still hadn’t received the order to return to normal patrols yet, so they were still on high alert, though they hadn’t locked down the village as severely as Jay had thought.

“Huh, guess I didn’t need to sneak out” thought Jay, shaking his head at himself as he walked into the maze of houses which made up the village.
