[Kobolds]

Kobolds are egg-laying creatures. They mature quickly and can live more than a century old. However, many kobolds perish before they reach the end of their first decade. Physically weak, they are easy prey for predators therefore they will try to stick in groups. Their superior numbers can win battles against powerful adversaries, but often with massive casualties on the kobold side. Compared to humans they are a few times weaker in a physical way but makeup with cleverness for trap making.

Usually, you can find Kobolds in small hoards. Kobolds love gathering treasures and trinkets, adventurers usually find it in the back of the hoard village. One of the most dangerous parts of fighting with them is actually getting to them because they build small tunnels where they make their traps.

An; "Tell me if you need me to explain something and hopefully I'll answer."

3d pov

You could see a small pafoot slowly rolling around, stretching and yawning in one of the crystal caves. Edgar slowly got up and went to the new build tone which he made 12 hours ago. It doesn't matter which world you live in, all creatures need a place that can be called a bathroom even if it's just a hole.

Edgar: "Jessica, can you bring some toilet paper!"

Edgar shouted but instead of words, you could only hear him roaring.

Edgar: 'OH, I totally forgot that I reincarnated into the dungeon.'

Edgar: 'So how do I wipe? or do I even need to do it?'

While Edgar was trying to figure out how to deal with his dilemma. At the other side of the room, a creature that was twice smaller than Edgar started to wake up.

Unknown's pov

Unknown: 'W-Where am I? I'm sure that I was next to the monolith. Am I dead again, no it can't be true. I'm still a bomber-tick. So it means I'm not dead yet.'

The unknown creature tried to get up on his legs but fell because of the pain in its side.

bomber-tick: 'WHERE ARE MY LEGS AND WHY DO I HAVE A MASSIVE WOUND IN MY SIDE'

bomber-tick: 'Not good, if that creature caught me then I will be its meal today I need a plan'

The bomber-tick started to think of a plan and a way to escape. It heard stumbling coming his way and decided to bring his quickly made plan to life.

3d pov

Edgar slowly came out of his toilet and was about to go and find some crystals to it, as well as he wanted to find some water.

Edgar: 'I don't really need water because I'm mostly made of rocks and crystals, but it will never hurt to know where it is. I might actually get some sort of buff because water might have some mana in it.'

He was heading to the exit when suddenly he heard a bubbling sound

Edgar 'Was lava always next to my home, If I break the first rule, Digging Straight Down, will I die because of logic from Mine….'

*boom*

His thoughts were interrupted by the sharp pain and in the next moment, his body went flying to the wall.

HP - 89

Hp - 61/150

Edgar: *diply inhailse* "КТО НА***!!!"

Edgar: 'I'm not in the best position but at least smoke gave me some cover… It's time to use my precious skills'

bomber-tick's pov

bomber-tick: 'Noice, a straight and perfect hit. It doesn't matter how strong that butterfly shell is, because my attack is a magic skill, so they will do way more damage to creatures that don't have any magic resistance! If I remember correctly only a few creatures on the first stage of evolution have magic resistance in this dungeon'

bomber-tick: 'Where is the notification with my victory points? If I didn't get any then… It must mean… It's still alive!'

[Explosive-projectile]

bomber-tick: 'If I didn't kill it the first time then I'll just take another shot'

*Bang**Boom*

bomber-tick: 'Did I hit it? I better check'

[Life radar]

bomber-tick: 'WHERE IS HE!'

I kept searching for anything alive on the service but then realisation hit me.

bomber-tick: 'HIS UNDERGROUND'

But before I could move or even tried to move from my position I fell through the floor. I reached the bottom pretty quick and had a hard landing because of my wounds and a few missing limbs. I was about to try and get up when I met a pair of eyes staring at me just a few inches away from my face.

bomber-tick: 'Ohh sh**'

[thought-transference]

bomber-tick: 'Please wait!'

Edgar's pov

Edgar: 'How can he talk to me? Is it some sort of telepathy?'

Unknown creature: 'I-It is.'

Edgar: 'I helped you, brought you to my home, yet you attacked me. So tell me at least one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now?'

Unknown creature: 'I-I can be useful… Yes, I'm very useful... just allow me to prove it to you.'

Edgar: 'Action speaks louder than words.'

Edgar: ' Let me ask you a question. Why did you attack me?'

Unknown creature: 'I thought that you were That butterfly which nearly killed me last time.'

Edgar: '...'

Edgar turned around and started digging, making a small circular room with enough space for creatures to move in.

Edgar: 'You will stay here until I come back. Then we'll have a longer chat'

3d pov

Turning around, Edgar stumbled up the tunnel to his house. He stumbled to the moss which was used by that creature. He picked it up and dropped it down the hall. Edgar heard some buzz at the bottom but ignored it and just asked him a question.

Edgar: 'What do you eat'

Unknown creature: 'C-Crystals'

Not bothering to answer, he turned around and rolled down the cave.

Hp+50

Hp - 111/150

[Roll LVL - 1]------------->[Roll LVL - 2]

He rolled until he reached the crystal section of the cave and started to look for food.

Edgar: 'This will do'

Edgar found a blood-red crystal and started to bite it. In a few minutes, he managed to break it into 20 small pieces and 1 huge piece for his guest.

Cristal absorption [20/20]

[Cristal absorption LVL 1] ------->[Cristal absorption LVL 2]

Cristal absorption [20/25]

Edgar: 'Well let's eat some more.'

Cristal absorption [25/25]

Edgar: 'time to go back'

Edgar took the crystal in his jaw and stumbled back to his home. It didn't take him that long and when he reached it he just casually chucked the crystal in the hall. Edgar guessed that the crystal landed on its head by the sound which the creature inside made.

Edgar: 'time to go and see where those footsteps went'

He crumpled into the ball and went rolling down the cave halls. When he reached the place where he found the footsteps he felt unused. It was a simelar feeling when the butterfly was following him. He tried to locate the creature but couldn't tell the exact place it was in.

Edgar: 'So it's watching me… I need to find and try to kill it, I have to stop being merciful.'

With that thought, he kept stumbling forward until he felt danger from above.

Edgar quickly rolled back and saw a crystal mantis staring at him.

Edgar: 'Not good. I have to look at the floor because if I remember correctly it can hypnotise if you look at Its eyes.'

Edgar: 'Maybe I should allow it to catch me and then strike.'

The next moment Edgar had a caning plan. He quickly rolled up and started to wait.

1, 2,3,4,5 seconds

*Chak**Chak*

Hp - 6

Second wind [2/5]

*Chak**Chak**Chak*

Hp - 5

Second wind [5/5]

Edgar: 'Now!'

Edgar started to roll at the mantis and when he felt that he was close enough he opened up and dashed under him. Mantis tried to move and reposition but felt a sharp pain in one of his leg joints.

*crunch**crunch**crunch*

Edgar kept biting and pulling trying to rip its leg off. And on the fourth pull, the mantis front leg was ripped off. But Edgar didn't stop there; he went straight to his next leg.

*crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch**crunch*

In the end, Matisse had no legs left and was laying on the ground screeching in pain and trying to use his razor-sharp tibial spines to hit or at least grab Edgar.

Edgar: 'Times up'

Second wind- 1 sec

0 sec

*boom*

Mantis felt sharp pain all over his back. It was about to try and roll when Edgar's jaw snapped at his neck

*crunch**crunch**crunch*

And the next moment Mantis' head was ripped off. Edgar stood there in a victorious pose. His head was high up and he was staring down at his just won battle.

*Ding*

Edgar: 'I should drag its body back and then have a banquet… Actually, do creatures of the dungeon have a monster core?

Edgar: 'I guess it's time to find out.'

Edgar climbed on top of the dead Matisse's body and started to eat his way inside his chest with every bite more and more blood kept coming out. Edgar was literally showering in it. He was hoping to find a heart but instead found a blue crystal.

Edgar: 'So that's a monster core.'

Edgar: 'Приятного мне аппетита'

Thought Edgar to himself and quickly swallowed a monster core.

*Ding*

Edgar: 'Hmm… Well, I'll try it out later. But now I should pile all his legs on his body and drag him to my home.

Edgar: 'I guess this will take a while.'

Bomber-tick's Pov

Bomber-tick: 'Why is he taking so long. I thought we would have a chat when he dropped that crystal.'

Bomber-tick: '...'

Bomber-tick: 'I should thank him for allowing me to stay and sparing my life. My legs started to grow back and the wound is healing slowly. Maybe I should ask him to teach me some of his strategies or techniques of fighting.'

Bomber-tick: 'Why can I smell of blood'

[thought-transference]

Bomber-tick: 'Who's in here!'

Edgar: 'Watch your tone.'

Bomber-tick: 'A-Ahh sorry I thought it was somebody else.'

Bomber-tick: ' Can I ask why do you smell of blood'

Edgar: 'Got in a fight with a mantis and I killed it.'

Bomber-tick: 'WHAT!! HOW DID YOU KILL IT'

Edgar: 'By biting its head off.'

Bomber-tick: 'Then that smell must be…'

Edgar: 'His body'

Edgar: 'Now. You, my friend, will answer some of my questions.'

Edgar: 'First Who are you, second what race are you, third were you reincarnated, fourth when will you recover?'

Bomber-tick: 'Aaaa… My name is Riku and I'm 16 years old. I was born in Japan, most of the time I watch anime, read man…'

Edgar: 'That's enough for now, next.'

Riku: 'Well when I was choosing my race I was only given 3 options. So I chose the Bomber-tick, which is a range unit and I can use fire or explosive magic.

Edgar: 'So you were only given 3 options.'

Riku 'How many did you get?'

Edgar: 'I could choose whatever I wanted but they were all weak. So compared if we were to compare our races yours is stronger.'

Riku: 'I would rather choose something else, but this works too.'

Edgar: 'Keep answering.'

Riku: 'Do you mind coming down so I could see you.'

Edgar: 'Обойдешся'

Riku: 'Please'

Edgar: 'Just answer my questions.'

Riku: 'Fine. I was reincarnated and I will recover in a day or maybe earlier.'

Edgar: '...'

Riku: 'Hello?'

*Bam*

Riku: 'CAN YOU STOP DROPPING STUFF ON ME!!'

Edgar: 'So you don't want to it'

Riku: 'Sorry'

Edgar: 'I'll chat to you later.'

Riku: 'Well at least I survived.'

Riku: 'I should ask him to tell me a little about himself.'

Riku: 'But now let's eat. Arigato'
