My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem - My Dungeon Life – Chapter 1286-1288

Chapter 1286

“A… soul world?” I asked in wonder. “Does that mean my soul is the dungeon core again?”

“Not exactly,” Elaya responded. “The dungeon core still exists within the dungeon, but it now is connected to a soul aspect, particularly, your soul. There is an entrance to your soul world within the dungeon now, which is how we get here. Furthermore, your connection to the dungeon now means you can pull on energy from the dungeon, even from a great distance. That’s what you did when you absorbed that dungeon just now. You opened the door to your soul world, and energy flowed through it. Normally, it might have taken years for your soul world to grow to any significant size, but because you absorbed so much energy so quickly, you were able to quickly expand it to this size.”

I rubbed my head, still trying to wrap my head around that idea that I was currently within my own soul world. “Why is my inventory here?”

“Ah… well, as you know, inventory is a space created within your soul. In a way, you could call an inventory a primordial soul world. Those who have an inventory find it to be quite small, and naturally, they can only touch it, not enter it. Furthermore, other living beings can’t exist within it. Now that you can access your soul world, you’re entering a massive inventory, in a way.”

I frowned as something occurred to me. “If living beings can enter my soul world, and the entrance is in my dungeon, does that mean people can just walk into my soul world?”

Elaya made an awkward expression. “Well, you see, your soul world entrance is the dungeon core. If someone gets a hold of your dungeon core, there are more troubles than just them entering your soul world. However, even if someone tries to enter your soul world, you can deny them entrance. You set the conditions of entry. We were only able to enter because we are your slaves.”

I slowly gave a nod. I supposed it did make sense. When it came to the Illusory Sword Dungeon, no one was able to enter the dungeon unless they met specific conditions. Both dungeons and souls were essentially lore or a story of the past. Dungeons were cursed lore, built up of fragments of memories from the departed, but they were still essentially the same thing. It stood to reason that they could connect like this.

“You know… I’m here too…”

“Ah! Alysia?”

“Hmm? Isn’t that the Osterian general?” Miki asked.

“Ah… she’s my sword now, but you’re in my soul world too?”

“Usually, when I’m inside your blessing, I remain in a dark place devoid of feeling,” Alysia explained.

“Isn’t that really terrifying?” Miki cried out.

“I’ve gotten used to it.” She shrugged. “However, once this world formed, I ended up here. I actually… feel normal in here. I don’t dislike this.”

“Wait! You’ve been here all along? You mean when master and I… we…”

Alysia glanced away. “I’m getting used to that too.”

I cleared my throat. “Anyway, you were saying a soul world exists in the dungeon master, and the entrance is the core?”

Perhaps that was the relationship between dungeon masters and the dungeon. It was usually the case that you had to defeat the dungeon master to access the dungeon core, while the dungeon core was the access to the soul dungeon. It was a strange kind of relationship that kept both protected. Perhaps, this was why a dungeon core wouldn’t reveal itself until the dungeon master was defeated. It had to do with this link.

“Well, as you can see, you can enter your own soul world as well. This is your space. You can change it, build it, store things in it, or even bring people to it. Eventually, you may even be able to manipulate time, weather, and life energy.” Elaya explained. “In time, you’ll be able to control the energy within it, modifying it just like a dungeon.”

“If we’re in my soul world, does that mean I’m still in Dioshin?”  My eyes flashed with worry.

“Your physical body has already been resurrected in your bedroom. Miki’s physical body was resurrected here, with yours. Those bodies in Dioshin would have disintegrated by now. This is not a good thing, Master. In fact, I imagine your strength will be growing exponentially thanks to this change.”

There was one major weakness though. Although I was a dungeon master now, both in title and job, I didn’t remain in my dungeon much at all. Thanks to having a god soul and the ability to convert mana to miasma and back, I didn’t need to remain in a miasma environment. Without me there to protect it, that delicate balance was upset.

“We need to come up with some better ways to protect my dungeon.” I declared.

Elaya’s eyes brightened. “We should! Let’s return!”

Chapter 1287

It wasn’t that difficult to pull myself out of the soul world and bring Miki with me. While I was at it, I expelled the other girls. I appeared in my room with Miki still next to me. I looked around slightly with a frown. There was something off about the room.

The door opened, and I blinked to see the boss room of a dungeon just behind it. I was familiar with the boss room, and it wasn’t just because Xin was there, seemingly practicing her blade. Elaya was at the door. Celeste waved but didn’t join her. Instead, she flew over to Xin and started talking to her. Elaya came in the rest of the way and then smiled.

“They decided to relocate you to this room. Given your status, it seemed to suit that you remain here. This is closest to the yin-yang fountain. You also have a formation that will take you out of the dungeon. I should also say that this will be the safest room in Chalm once we’re done setting up the dungeon.

I sighed. “So, much for my dungeon training center.”

“Actually, we can still use it for that. The first ten floors are still built like they originally were. Your siren, Selena, acts as the final boss. We’ve even managed to create a fake dungeon core to sell the aesthetic.”

“The first ten floors? How big is my dungeon now?”

“Thirty levels.”

I whistled. I actually could have answered that question on my own. I was this dungeon’s master after all. I was just checking if my senses were working right. As for the size, it may not seem like a lot. After all, a dungeon thirty years old could have thirty levels, but one had to consider this dungeon was only months old. Furthermore, it had been completely destroyed and rebuilt after fighting Aberis and after the Maid’s Lament took it over. For it to not only recover but grow so much in such a short time was already ridiculous.

“Who will be protecting the boss room?” I asked.

“Naturally, this responsibility is shared between Astria, Xin, and me. We’ve agreed to take eight-hour shifts. Since none of us are explicitly bound to the dungeon like Selena, remaining inside it indefinitely would be quite boring, so this is the agreement we made. You don’t need to worry though. We’ve all agreed the boss room must be guarded at all times.”

“What about the twentieth floor?”

“At the moment, we have a golem protecting it.” Elaya shrugged.

“Very well…” I nodded as the door opened a crack.

“Master is home!”

“It’s Master.”

“Ah… he’s so pretty!”

“It’s handsome.”

Elaya stiffened as she heard a group of youthful voices speaking behind the door. I could see several eyes peeking in at us while whispering in a way that wasn’t discrete at all. I frowned slightly. If this was connected to the boss room, why were their people outside?

“What’s this then?”

“Ah! He saw us!”

“He spoke to me!”

“Girls!” A stern voice came from behind.

There were several shouts and cries, and then the door came flying open. Three girls fell through the door, landing on the floor. I stared at the girls for a moment, some confusion on my face. I didn’t recognize them at all. However, their hair was colored in odd shades, much like the fae, and they were seemingly wearing maid attire. On top of that, these girls only appeared to be ten to twelve years old. In essence, they were lolis!

I didn’t glance at them, but Faeyna who was standing behind them with her hands on her hips. When she saw my look she immediately lowered her head.

“I’m sorry, Master! This was my fault!”

I disappeared from my bed and appeared next to her. I reached my arm around and grabbed her, hugging her.

“You don’t need to apologize, but an explanation would be appreciated.”

“M-master…” Faeyna blushed.

“Ah… he’s finally claimed her too…” Miki mused from bed.

“He moved.”

“So fast.”

The three loli girls all scrambled up and then spun around, standing at attention in front of Faeyna. She let out a sigh when she looked at them.

“Master, you remember when you told me I needed to find help? As I said, I wouldn’t hire anyone who didn’t have the potential. I found a group that works though, so these are starting apprentices.”

“I see…” I responded.

I was hoping for girls a bit older and more experienced, but it wasn’t a bad thing to start training them young.

“What unusual girls,” Elaya commented. “They’re brimming with magical energy. Their levels are also shockingly high for human girls.”

“Their hair is also the color of the fae,” I added.

“That’s not surprising.” Elaya sighed. “Ever since you put Astria under control and stopped her experiments, these girls have been causing trouble.”

I turned to her with wide eyes. “You don’t mean-”

“Yes, master. These are some of Astria’s experiment fairy children.”

Chapter 1288

“What are they doing here?” I asked cautiously.

Looking at each girl, they were all extremely beautiful. Their skin was fair, their eyes were bright, and they had an extreme charm to them that easily matched any of the girls in my harem. Each girl had different color hair. One was orange, another was green, and the final was blue. They really were like fairies.

“Ah, well, it seems like after the experiments, they had already started to change. As Elaya pointed out, they have a large quantity of mana and are exuding properties that aren’t quite human. They will likely grow to be extremely powerful with magic.”

“Are their parents okay with them being apprentice maids?” I asked worriedly.

I didn’t want to find out my girls were still bullying the public.

“The savior of Chalm? They were glad their daughters could achieve such a position.” Faeyna chuckled. “Besides, with their mana, they have the potential to be powerful warriors. Following the path of a maid instead would naturally appeal to those worried parents.”

“I see…” I still wasn’t sure.

While stroking my chin and thinking about this, I felt a tug on my shirt. I looked down to see all three girls standing there looking up at me with tears in their eyes.

“Are we not wanted?” The girl who tugged my shirt, the green-haired one asked, looking seconds from crying.

My heart received a fatal strike.

“Touching Master without permission!” Faeyna’s eyes narrowed, causing the girls to cry out.

I grabbed her to stop her from disciplining them. “No! I mean, yes, you’re wanted. I very much want you to be my maids.”

“R-really?” The orange-haired one confirmed, sniffling.

“Really…” My voice came out extremely hoarse.

“Really really?” The blue-haired one asked.

“Mm!” I gave a thumbs-up, for some reason feeling tears in my eyes too.

The three girls broke into giggles like they had never been upset in the first place, and then ran past Faeyna and disappeared as quickly as they came. The door fell closed as the first two girls passed through, and the third girl ran into the door. However, her body didn’t stop, and she ran right through the door like it wasn’t even there!

“Master, you shouldn’t let them take advantage of you.” Faeyna sighed. “You must resist their charm!”

“What do you mean?” I responded stiffly, letting her go.

“Ah… you’ve been away, so you probably haven’t heard, but the girls like those three have started to earn a name through Chalm,” Elaya spoke up. “They call them Deek’s Fairies.”

“What? Mine?”

“It seems that they all talk about you, a lot. If asked, they all declare they are… um… your future brides.” Faeyna coughed.

“…”

“It’s not too hard to understand. These girls had been experimented on using the mana from your mana spring. In short, your essence has imprinted on them. They see themselves as yours.” Elaya responded.

“In truth, every girl wanted to volunteer to get closer to you. In the end, these three were elected by some kind of voting process. I’m not clear on it, as they’ve seemingly formed their own… ah… would you call it? A cult of Deek?”

“It’s more like a coven dedicated to worshipping Master!” Elaya nodded.

I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

“So, Master needs to resist! You can’t allow your temptations to run rampant! If you thought Astria’s fairies were bad, these girls will definitely plot to taste Master’s mana!”

“What did you invite into my home?”

“Weren’t you the one who said you very much wanted them to be your maids?” Faeyna responded flatly.

“Geh!”

“Master, we saw how you looked at them.” Alysia added flatly.

“That is… I mean…”

“Hehe… but you know what this means?” Miki declared. “Flat chests are in!”

“Ah!” Elaya cried out at the realization.

“So, Master likes that body type…” Faeyna sighed looking down at her body and wishing it wasn’t so curvy and plump.

“I like every body type!” I cried out.

“This is a major problem.” Elaya declared, taping her finger on her cheek.

“Is it though?” I asked.

“Since Master has come back, he has had Elaya, Astria, Celeste, and Alysia… all big-breasted women! Master is starved for small breasts!” Faeyna concluded.

“That’s not a thing…” I sighed.

“We need Master to unload his carnal desires for tiny titties!” Elaya declared.

“But who…” Faeyna asked, seemingly lost in a conversation with Elaya I could barely follow.

Faeyna and Elaya both turned to Miki. Miki blinked, and then her cheeks went red and she covered her chest.

“I have boobs!”

“Only B’s…”

“I’m small all around, so my boobs are big in comparison!” Miki cried out. “If you want a flat chest, there is Terra or Garnet!”

“Both of them are gone for the moment.” Elaya sighed. “Miki, we need you. The Harem needs you. It’s no wonder Master saved you first. Your subpar chest will save us all.”

“Are you insulting me or complimenting me?”

“Please, Miki. You don’t want Master to fall into a loli abyss!”

“Guys, this is a non issue… I’m not even excited right now.”

“Okay! Fine! I’ll do it!” Miki declared before turning to me. “Master, please, take me!”

“Faeyna, that’s our time to get lost.” Elaya grinned, grabbing the other girl and backing out the door.

“R-right!” The two girls flee from the room and the door shuts behind them.

I watch in disbelief. Did they think I was a bomb about to explode?

“M-master?”

“Huh?”

I turned back to see Miki had taken off her clothes and was now lying in my bed. Behind her, her fluffy foxkin tail was splayed out like a fur blanket. She slowly spread her legs, even as a blush filled her face.

“I want this too. I haven’t had Master in forever. I was just inside you, can’t you be inside me now?”

Okay, now I was a little excited.
