Rebirth of a Dungeon Master

Chapter 3: Dungeon Points?



"Nya? As a vampire, I shouldn't need to sleep," Nekra said to herself, baffled by her recent slumber. Perhaps it was being near Yuki that brought her some peace.

 

"We should make this cave cozier," Nekra suggested to herself getting up and beginning to stretch.

 

"Master, we are inside the dungeon core control room. The cave is outside," Yuki explained.

 

"Yuki, please call me Nekra. And we are inside the core? How can we modify the dungeon, nya?" Nekra inquired.

 

Yuki pointed toward something that closely resembled a computer.

 

"Oh, that's a bit simpler," Nekra realized, feeling the fabric on her body before looking down.

 

"Yuki nya, did you purchase clothes for us? I love the dress, thank you," Nekra said with a joyful smile, giving a small twirl.

 

Yuki watched her partner with silver hair, crimson eyes, and black cat ears and tail spin around, and Yuki couldn't help but be captivated by the sight.

 

"So, this should work somewhat like a video game... what's a video game?" Nekra questioned as she examined the computer interface before being hit by a sudden headache that granted her knowledge.

 

"Ah, master, there's also a store," Yuki pointed out.

 

"The store? And please call me Nekra, Yuki. We're already bonded as partners," Nekra insisted.

 

"P-partners?" Yuki asked, her cheeks turning pink.

 

"Yes, indeed, Yuki, nya. Now, what's the store?" Nekra inquired.

 

"The store has anything you're aware of available for purchase," Yuki explained.

 

"Nya? So, it has everything?" Nekra wondered.

 

"What?" Yuki asked.

 

“If I am able to know an-nyathing and everything. Then it should have everything nya.” Nekra clarfies

 

“That is amazing Master~” Yuki cheers

 

“Nekra Yuki, Nekra… Ah, how do we buy things?" Nekra replies.

 

"With dungeon points," Yuki answers her fluffy fox ears twitching.

 

"How do we earn dungeon points?" Nekra inquired.

 

"There are a few ways. First, we can naturally gather magicules from the earth. We can also gain magicules released by adventurers in the dungeon. Even more when we defeat them, and If we kill them inside the dungeon, we receive a substantial amount of DP," Yuki explained.

 

"Nyo killing... If we kill, they might send more powerful individuals, or even an army, to eliminate us," Nekra said, beginning to dread her own race.

 

"Right... we aren't strong enough for that," Yuki agreed.

 

'Good, I don't want to face off against an entire army just yet.'

 

...

 

"Why do we only have 100 DP?" Nekra inquired as she looked at the monitor.

 

"Ah, I purchased Nekra's clothes!" Yuki proudly declared.

 

Nekra promptly checked their previous purchases.

 

(Clothes: Armored Invincible Self-Cleaning White Dress, 100,000 DP)

 

(Book: How to Cook Food for Vampires, 200 DP)

 

(Book: How to Tame a Vampire, 400 DP)

 

(Apartment-Style Core Upgrade, 14,000 DP)

 

(Clothes: Rugged Female Adventurer's Wear, 4,000 DP)

 

"Yuki, did you spend all our DP on clothes?" Nekra questioned, bypassing the books, but unable to resist noting that Yuki might be a tad overzealous.

 

Yuki tilted her head in contemplation for a moment before shaking it to indicate "no."

 

"What's the apartment-style upgrade? It still looks like a cave," Nekra pointed out.

 

"We need to activate it," Yuki said.

 

Suddenly, the 100 DP increased to 110 DP.

 

"Nya?" Nekra exclaimed as she quickly examined their surroundings.

 

"We earn DP from wild monsters?!" Nekra was astonished to see goblins within the dungeon.

 

"It appears so," Yuki confirmed.

 

"That's fantastic... Let's just conceal the core with an illusion on the cave's roof," Nekra suggested, expending the remaining 100 DP to place the core under an invisibility cloak that would last for 20 years.

 

"Now what?" Yuki asked.

 

"Uh, we wait... perhaps use the DP to acquire some blood. Does Yuki need to eat, nya?" Nekra asked.

 

Yuki shook her head in response. “DP is not required for blood, Ma-Nekra has me!” Yuki shouts. 

 

"So, what do we do while we wait?" Nekra wondered aloud deciding to ignore Yuki’s outburst.

 

Suddenly, a flash drive fell from the sky.

 

"Huh? Are the gods still watching me?" Nekra muttered, looking up before retrieving the flash drive and plugging it into the dungeon computer.

 

"Wait? That's what that port is for?" Yuki wondered as she knew very little about computers.

 

'It should be. Though since my knowledge wish was worded the way it was I gained bits knowledge from every world. Then need to focus it on a subject to get more indepth stuff.' Nekra thought to herself.

 

The difference between knowledge, how to apply it, and wisdom was not lost on the cat girl. She doesn’t really remember much from her last life. 

 

Upon opening the files on the dungeon computer, Nekra found two folders.

 

Anime

 

Games

 

"Oh? We can spend plenty of time like this!" Nekra said happily, knowing what both of those were.

 

"What are Anime and Games?" Yuki inquired, observing the screen.

 

"I will show you games first. Let's see what we have," Nekra proposed, opening the folder and discovering only one game.

 

(Roller Coaster Tycoon 2)

 

"Oh... that's it?" Nekra said with a tinge of disappointment but quickly corrected herself, realizing she shouldn't complain. The Gods work in mysterious ways. 

 

"What's that?" Yuki asked.

 

"Let's give it a try. I've never played it, but if it was given to me, it must be good," Nekra decided, starting the game.

=======================================

Meanwhile, at an overworked headmaster's desk.

 

"Of course it's good!" Kyra suddenly exclaimed from her chair, startling Ruby, who had been attempting to sneak up on her.
