Chapter 273: Orb POV

-----

It was another day in the dungeon for me.

Since I was made into a Master's dungeon that I have changed a lot… but due to having developed greater intelligence, I feel bored every so often.

Sometimes, I dream about having a body like all the other living beings in this world have, so I could become capable of eating and all of that stuff!

Really, when Master kisses and hugs me I wish I could have a higher perception of senses so I could appreciate his love better…

Being a Dungeon Core still has its advantages, such as not needing to eat nor sleep, but I just sleep anyways.

I don't even remember when I was created, I just remember I slowly gathered thoughts that became a consciousness at some point, but due to the lack of interactions, I never developed it until Master appeared and made me very angry!

But that anger went away quite quickly afterward… and well, here we are after all that time.

I can say with honesty that I have changed a little bit.

At least a little bit!

I mean, I was like a robot before… Master explained what a robot was, and I understood it a bit.

Well, now that I am me, I have to find ways to find entertainment while Master is going around saving the world.

Although a lot of people keep visiting the Dungeon, everyone keeps killing monsters and it quickly gets rather monotonous.

So… I use some of the Divine Energy inside the dungeon for my own convenience and create things to play or build… or decorate.

And well, I have been slowly building up this dungeon underground castle that Master ordered me to do, I have been upgrading it more and more as time goes by… But Master is always sleeping inside Yurei!

Why am I making this if he doesn't even spend time here?!

Well, all of the people of his Divine Realm come here and every day, some groups decide to stay here though, Master told me to welcome them, so I welcome them.

However, it still frustrates me!

Master, I made this for YOU and your family, not for these random people from Acacia Town you are taking care of!

Well, it still fine, they nice to me and even pray to me and him, as if we were Gods.

Now that I think about it, Master is more like a God, isn't he?

Yeah… But for me? I am just a Dungeon Core! I don't even have godly powers.

Or do I?

Well, I am more of a device or an artifact with a soul… not like other living (or unliving) beings that can develop and grow, I only develop and grow as a dungeon and make more monsters or other stuff.

I am sure some would say they would love to be a dungeon, but I also want to level up!

Anyways, I often collect any shiny thing that I find in the Dungeon Item Exchange…

Master used to buy several Spell Books which he distributed in the Acacia Town of his Divine Realm.

He had also tried to use many, but they were always assimilated into his other Skills, so he gave up. I think he was trying to get all kinds of magic, but it seems that he needs to do more than simply grabbing a Grimoire and trying to learn the spell.

His Skills had grown so strong that they viciously devour any weaker Skill, which seems to have become a problem for him now. Nonetheless, he's absurdly overpowered, so I don't know why he wanted to learn how to throw a fireball if he already knows how to summon meteorites…

Can't he reverse engineer it into a fireball again? Or maybe it's so powerful that it is hard for him to do that? Like, his power is so immense that it is very hard to take away a little drop of water from an entire ocean…

Anyways, now I am having more fun than before, although I have made my room very big and shiny, with many decorations, like a princess, I was still bored.

Thankfully, when Master unlocked the App Shop of his System, my item exchange connected to it, and I can get some new things, but nothing too fancy or overpowered.

But… some of these new things are quite awesome.

Such as… a lot of food I can't eat such as chocolates, popsicles, potato fries, and more...

But the big ones are manga, comics, light novels, and more!

Master showed them all to me, and he seemed also amazed that he could purchase them, but he said he had changed too much now to sit ad read these things anymore, and that he had bigger things to do, for now, so he left them all for me to have fun.

Isn't he quite considerate?

It seems that these books really had bought back the fun to my life, they're really quite fun.

I often read for hours and hours without stopping, mostly because I can't get tired.

But I often force myself to sleep a bit to relax after too much info gets into my mind.

"Orb-sama? Orb-sama!"

Suddenly, as I am reading a Light Novel named "Death Mage", an annoying man knocks on my door.

"Insolent! Don't you see I am in my sacred hours of reading? What do you want?" I asked, rather boldly and angered. These guys always talk to me respectfully, so I give myself the right to speak to them like that sometimes, hehe. …I hope Master doesn't find out.

"A-Ah, sorry to enrage you, Divine Dungeon Core-sama! But… there's something strange!"

I quickly open the large door made of dungeon bricks of my sealed room, as I glance at the muscular man wielding an axe.

"What?"

"You should know already! Frank-sama said that you were able to see everything inside the Dungeon…"

"Eh? You dare talk back to me like that?"

"S-Sorry for my insolence!"

The man suddenly kneels.

Eeehh, you don't have to do that…

Anyways, when I read and concentrate too much, I kind of lose my omnipotence in the dungeon, so sometimes stuff I don't see happens, but nothing too much so I often don't give a damn.

But when I finally begin to see everything again…

Oh.

OH?!

What?

Why… did a little girl just spawn in the dungeon-like a monster?

The little girl was walking nude through the dungeon corridors.

Every time a monster approached her, she devoured it by shapeshifting into some kind of mass of black ooze with fangs and crimson eyes, very creepy.

She looks to be around… 18 by how developed she is, but she's remarkably petite.

She seems curious…

Her skin is pale-white, her hips rather wide, her breast well-developed and on the bigger side, her thighs are also quite thick…

Hm, this way of speaking got to me from all of this Earth's literature!

I blame these normies!

Anyways, she's pretty… Damn, I wish I had a body like that!

Honestly, anything would do at this point.

The girl has long black hair and a little black horn on her forehead.

Her eyes are crimson red, and she has a rather carefree smile…

Her entire aura is filled with dread and chaos… twisting everything around her.

Wait… I recognize this aura…

No way…

She's…

Ah! I have to tell Master!
