The first level of the dungeon, which was not even the first floor, only had weak beasts that any proficient superhuman could handle. Its numbers were the only problem, but it was no longer one after Damian closed the dungeon entrance.
No beasts would come out, meaning the village and the surrounding areas were safe, and Damian had all the time in the world to start building something around the dungeon entrance to control it.
"It's done. What are your plans with this thing?" Vanessa said right after she closed the dungeon entrance.
"Me? This is a crucial step for the organization. Leader already knew there was an entrance here, so that's why we came here first," Damian said.
That was a lie. He was the leader, but Vanessa could not know, and he also had no idea there was a dungeon entrance there, but Damian wanted to make the leader of The Dawn more mysterious.
"Is this a joke? How can he know about this if no one else knows? I cannot believe he has more contacts than the big organizations!"
"He can give abilities to others, so who are the big organizations compared to him? We should build something like a watermill here and build our base. Can you get this piece of land to our name somehow?"
"I'll see what I can do."
The village was nearby, so Damian and the girls could keep living there for some time, but the final goal was to build the headquarters. An entire base in the area close to the river where the dungeon entrance was to ensure no one would use it, making The Dawn have the monopoly of the dungeon.
All the other big organizations which controlled the country did similar things, so The Dawn would do the same and become even more powerful than them! It would take some time, but Damian was excited about it.
After dealing with the dungeon entrance problem, Damian returned to the village to warn everybody that the beasts attacking the villagers had died and that everything was back to normal.
"You did that? I knew you were a fine lad but powerful too?"
Everyone said nice words, and they were genuinely happy about Damian, especially Jannet, who kept looking at him with eyes filled with lust.
"My husband will leave next week for a work trip, which is my chance!" Jannet thought as she stared at Damian from afar.
The building process of their base started the next day at full speed! Vanessa, Serana, and Hazel were helping, but Damian knew it was insufficient or would take a long time!
But, gladly, after the fame Damian got inside the village, some of the villagers went to help him out. Of course, Damian paid them with money, or rather, Vanessa did, but the important thing was that they were a helping hand that would not question what he was doing there and had no idea about the dungeon.
Damian feared hiring others from Middlebury because of that. Who knows? The employed people could find out about the dungeon and sell the information to the big organizations, meaning The Dawn would end before officially starting!
The construction started the following day after Damian found the dungeon entrance. The guy Vanessa asked to install the internet came, meaning things were finally starting to work out for them!
"Can you install the internet in another place too?"
They installed the internet for their home inside the village and their future base near the river.
"Feels good to have internet again, yay!" Damian said, vibrating now that everything was going the way he wanted.
"Don't forget the VPNs, or else we are fucked," Vanessa said.
"I know; I am not stupid."
The life they had in the village was peaceful. Still, all of them knew it was far from peaceful and that Damian was a wanted man, so they had to remember that, or else slips would eventually occur, and everything would be over.
"The Slime Ring can alter my appearance and fool weak people, but the real powerhouses from those organizations, who are certainly after me, will not be fall by this sort of thing..."
Damian had thought about doing that, but he knew it would not work, so the best course for him was to lay low and hope that someday they would forget about that! It was not like he stole a great treasure or committed a horrendous crime like murder, so it was only a matter of time before everyone forgot about him!
If a big enough event shocked the entire country, they would undoubtedly forget about Damian! That was what he was aiming for!
That was one of the reasons he was so focused on improving The Dawn. If they made their first move, creating chaos, then Damian would be a thing of the past.
"Done; now I can browse the internet and see what people say about me," Damian thought as he opened the internet for the first time using his laptop.
With all the VPNs working, he was safe while browsing, and the first thing he wanted to know was what people were talking about him, and sure thing, there were not many things on the internet.
"The principal of Orton's Superhuman School made the thievery a secret and is trying to find me using his connections. Smart."
There was no need to put a wanted poster of Damian throughout the country. The standard authorities would only slow the principal down, so he used his connections to find Damian. Also, if normal authorities found Damian, they would arrest him, but the principal wanted Damian dead!
"For now, I am safe. But I should work to build this place as fast as possible! Maybe there's an ability or item in the system that can help me?
Damian had no Erotic Coins for anything yet, but one week after he got internet and started the construction of The Dawn headquarters, Jannet came knocking on his door.
