Chapter 33: Small World+Dungeon's Core

"Young master, I didn't mean to invade your privacy, and I understand that you may have your reasons for not telling me. But as your relative, I just want you to share some of the burden with me," the butler replied, sounding anxious.

"I just feel inadequate that I can't help you, so please share even a small issue that may relieve your stress."

Sam, hearing the butler's words, unknowingly shed a tear and said in a sobbing tone, "Uncle, you are not inadequate. You have done so much for me and even sacrificed your whole life. I just wanted to handle this myself and shoulder some of the responsibilities."

The butler approached Sam and hugged him, saying, "Cry as much as you want. It can relieve your stress."

Hearing the butler's comforting voice, Sam started to sob uncontrollably.

He was only 14 years old, with no friends or relatives to share his burdens with.

He had to shoulder everything himself, pouring all his blood, sweat, and tears into training and hunting while other children his age were playing with their parents and enjoying their childhood

Eventually, he fell asleep after crying, and the butler sadly left the room.

…

A week later

3:00 p.m.

Currently, I am diligently preparing for the upcoming school trip, which is scheduled to take place in the next few days.

As Class Xth, we also have two days off from school to organize everything for the dungeon expedition.

Our classroom teacher suggested that it has been about two weeks since the novice dungeon, so it is time to venture into a more formal F-rank dungeon with the guidance of our teacher and instructor.

The anticipation is building as we await this exciting adventure.

Throughout this week, my uncle has been a great source of mental support.

I shared with him my newfound abilities, including the power to teleport anywhere at will.

He was understandably shocked by these abilities and strongly advised me against revealing them to anyone.

I felt touched by his concern and appreciation for my safety.

As the saying goes, a true friend or relative is worth more than a hundred others. I dialed my uncle's number on my handwatch and the call connected.

"Hello uncle, our school has organized a trip to explore the F-grade dungeon," I informed him.

"Oh, what is the date?" he inquired.

"It's in two days," I replied.

"Take care of yourself and be cautious of anyone you encounter in the dungeon," he warned in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, uncle. I will remain vigilant," I assured him before ending the call.

With all the necessary matters settled, it is time to turn my attention to the "Small World."

This week, I have been diligently clearing various dungeons, including 50 C grade and 20 B grade dungeons, as well as the monster's tower.

This has allowed me to strengthen my army of skeletons, increasing their numbers from 30 to an impressive 200.

My skeleton army now consists of 50 C rank skeletons and 150 D rank skeletons. The progress has been promising, and I am eager to see how they will continue to grow and evolve.

Summoning the Small World, a bead emerges from my forehead, and I quietly command, "Neo, show me its details."

[Understood.]

Small World [F] [Unique]

- This world has assimilated all the fundamental laws of nature and one otherworldly law.

- It encompasses a dimension of 100 km^3.

- It possesses an otherworldly aura.

- It is categorized as a growth type world.

Grade: F

[Description: The Small World is currently a small but perfect world, housing the basic laws of water, earth, fire, air, space, and one otherworldly law. Its otherworldly aura makes it an ideal habitat for beasts. However, if a human were to live within this aura, it could greatly benefit them.]

Examining these details, I cannot help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

During this week, I have done many experiments in the 'Small World' and also came to the conclusion that I can refine this 'Small World' into an independent universe.

As the master of this Small World, I have harnessed the ability to control its aura and laws to some extent. It is an incredible sensation, although it does place a considerable strain on my body.
