"ELIZABETH! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!"
The Guild Mistress started screaming from the dungeon entrance, the veins in her neck visible from the anger building up!
I transformed into her: short black bobbed hair, green eyes, with a feminine yet muscular figure. I approached her with a smile.
"Yes, Guild Mistress? What's going on?"
She clicked her tongue with a loud snap and then pointed a finger at me while yelling.
"You dare say that to me?!"
"Yes, I don't understand why you're mad at me..."
I replied with sweet, innocent eyes — but I knew exactly why she was here! Still, I'm innocent until proven guilty!
"You broke the contract we made!"
I pretended to be shocked, eyes wide open, and continued the act.
"Impossible! You know full well that breaking a system contract results in severe backlash — possibly even death!"
I went on, clutching my chest as if a metaphorical arrow had pierced my heart.
"And I haven't suffered any negative effects!"
The Guild Mistress ground her teeth before replying.
"Then why are you upgrading your dungeon so much?!"
I smiled softly and showed off my white teeth.
"I've followed the contract to the letter. You never said how many upgrades I could make at once!"
I giggled a bit and continued.
"And if I buy upgrades in bulk, it counts as one purchase! Plus, since you made me an official, I'm earning tons of dungeon points!"
"You... You found a loophole?! And you're laughing about it?!"
"Let's be honest, when I found it, it wasn't up to me to tell you — you should've noticed it yourself!"
"That's—That's… true… But damn it!"
The Guild Mistress kept yelling, even angrier now!
"You're not allowed to do this! It's not fair!"
"Technically, I am allowed. I'm not breaking the contract!"
I laughed even louder at that! Of course I wasn't going to point out a loophole that benefits me.
The Guild Mistress kept ranting, her whole body brimming with fury she clearly struggled to contain. Honestly, I found her kind of cute like that...
After scolding me, calling me a manipulator, a pervert, and many other things, she left still angry, but calmer. She insulted me one last time before walking away. But she was so adorable like that, I forgave her.
Even though it's a loophole, without all the groups coming in droves — the adventurer's guild, the mercenary guild, the church, and even the imperial guards training and leveling up — and at night, bandits showing up, I wouldn't have earned so many dungeon points.
I even get B-rank visitors now, giving me tons of points! For example, B-rank adventurers give me 70 points just for entering, and 105 points if they die! Even though deaths are rare, very few manage to reach the third floor to fight the demi-boss Queen of the Hydraflux.
But I do get a lot of bandit deaths! From ranks G to C, they give me multiple points — G-rank deaths give me 50 points, and C-rank ones 90!
I also get B-rank bandits, but they don't die — they stick to the first two floors, playing it safe! You can really see their experience!
Thanks to all these groups, not only am I earning tons of points to upgrade my dungeon, but I also managed to buy this dungeon system skill:
[Ultimate Skill: Devourer of Reflections – Amaterasu]
Effect – Allows you to consume mirrors to create mirror clones of yourself. You can instantly switch places with one of your clones. Clones can also swap places with each other.
Mirror Properties:
(Shield): Can block physical attacks.
(Attack Reflection): Reflects magical attacks.
(Self-Repair): Once broken, mirrors take time to recover — from 1 day for minor damage to 2 weeks for heavy damage — before regaining their defensive properties.
Negative Effects – The owner of the skill becomes unable to acquire or use any other form of clone or teleportation ability.
This one skill cost me 500,000 dungeon points! It took me years to get it, but I finally did! Now I just need to eat a mirror and I can begin the next phase of my plan!
Well then, time to find a mirror… But I've placed several treasure chests throughout the dungeon. Depending on where they are, they might be trapped or genuine, and some contain accessories — including mirrors.
I've also placed guaranteed treasure chests with random content. Either you're super lucky and get a rare or even epic item, or you're unlucky and get gemstones. At least you still make some money!
But I have a plan to get my mirror from those chests — I'll ask Alicia's hunting party to give me a mirror they find! If that doesn't work, I'll just have them buy one for me. But I'm curious — if the mirror has a skill, will my clone also have that skill?
Okay now, where is Alicia's hunting group? Ah! Found them! I rushed straight toward them at full speed!
