chapter 288 – deflect

Couldn’t keep up eh? The monster kind is supreme, huh? We can faster, further, longer! Morrelia must have been laughing up her sleeve whilst looking down at my stupid, fat face. After we left the Village, giving Morrelia a short period of time to inform her squad and pack her essentials we set off, leaving a concerned looking Enid behind …

chapter 287 – surface situation

There must be something serious going on up there for there to be all of this smoke and noise, but what could it be? We haven’t had an attack for a few days now, perhaps there is another one massing? Someone definitely needs to go and check it out, and I can’t deny that the best person for that role …

chapter 286 – scouting report

The idea of peaceful cooperation between nations or even species is quite the foreign concept to these ants and I shouldn’t be surprised. They are Dungeon monsters after all. I may have made them smarter but their fundamental nature as ants is to serve the colony to the exclusion of all else. Convincing them not to throw their lives away …

chapter 285 – the second council

The Queen seemed quite taken with her new pet. After giving a little advice regarding skills such as Pet Communication, Pet Growth among others. The Queen eventually decided to take the communication skill, the growth skill and the skill that allowed her to view the status of Aphy, the aphid Queen.

chapter 284 – the queen has a new pet

As the villagers return to their homes and the rapidly expanding buildings that make up their new town, I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

chapter 283 – feast averted

As he walked towards me Beyn displayed a face splitting grin, his eyes alight with energy and passion. This moron is still obsessed with the colony, the ants and me in particular. He probably thinks the village is being ‘blessed’ with a visitation to the nest, when in fact the twenty have arranged the village for a surprisingly peaceful slaughter! …

chapter 282 – my finest creation?

Holy moly, I’m completely wrecked. Each of my three brains feels like seared mush; soft and jelly-like, yet wreathed in hot, hot flames. I managed to gain two whole levels in cerebral endurance in just under two hours, that’s how mentally intensive this work was. However, I have been successful. I have triumphed! Despite being some of the most draining …

chapter 281 – counting the gains

After collecting my small collection of aphid cores I get Tiny to carry them and we descend from the trees to battle amongst the monsters once more as we make our way back to the shortcut. To be honest he non-stop grind and battering of battle against the monsters is strangely refreshing. It feels nice to exercise, something that I …

chapter 280 – modified aphid

In my quest to domesticate the aphid, there are a few options available. I could try and tame them as they are, not changing them in anyway, though I’m not sure exactly how that would go. Aren’t monsters supposed to be brutal, ruthless and cold-hearted killing machines? The very idea of a monster that seems this peaceful doesn’t make a …

chapter 279 – the grind of battle

The Marsh Expanse is teeming with monsters and the constant roar of battle. I have a ton of Biomass that I need to collect and a whole host of skills that I need to grind. With Tiny and Crinis by my side I feel perfectly confident wading into the expanse and beginning to battle. Monsters are fighting in every tree, …
