Teleporting to supernatural side of UK was easy, you are pretty much free to roam around these parts of the world if you're human, if not you have to get some permissions and such of course this could be avoided if you join a faction, like devils that has a contract with a mage from associations can come to visit them, making my way to the currency exchange i changed to the £ and found the hotel next to the Adventure Hall, this place has proper dungeons that's being run by Pendragon family, It was built by Merlin to train King Arthur, apperantly it's now used to train the warriors in their families after King Arthur's death and such but part of it is open to the public, you really can't keep the stuff you loot inside you have to sell it but i just need the money and if i find a good species i want to get it's mutagen i just need some genetic materials not anything valuable to them nor hard to hide, making my way into the Hall i go to the register and to my joy the people here have name tags.
Lea"Good morning young man what can i do for you"
Jacob"Yeah i want to register"
Lea"Yes that will be 100£ and i need you to fill in this form"
I just gave the money then fill the form, name, age, reasons for coming ect.
Lea"You're really just 9"
Jacob"Yep"
Lea"Huh you seem capable but becareful, okay now you need to select a nickname"
Jacob"Say what?"
Lea"Here we use nicknames Merlin said they're cool when this place was built, so you need to choose something" Somehow i can imagine him snickering on the background
Jacob"Just write, The Witcher"
Lea"It seems it's not taken, it's a good name, here's your badge, anything else"
Jacob"I would like to rent a 1 person dungeon for a month"
Lea"Are you sure ?"
Jacob"Yes"

Entering the dungeon i realized that this place is similar to an mine shaft, it starts out with goblin type enemies monsters change every 5 floors and it goes until you reach golems at the 50th floor they said there's a suprise boss in every dungeon, 50th floor monster made by Merlin himself i don't know what that means but i want to see it, so i just applied the newest seals and dived right in, first 10 floors should be easy for me, supposedly Main Dungeons that Pendragons use are 150 floor and used to house dragons but a former Dragon King known as Tannin got them out after becoming the queen of a high ranking devil and getting a territory in underworld for dragons most dragons grew up there now.
Not that i want to fight a dragon but since the MC of the novel is some type of dragon i have to assume his enemies are going to be in the similar nature or anti dragon type enemies ? don't know, better be prepared.
Making my way to the 5th floor i saw kobolds god they are ugly, kill it with igni.
This place is great i have to give back the loot so they could reset it but so far it's fun yeah, i realized that it's satisfying to loot this place chest are in the open traps are obvious.
I'm at he 10th floor and floor became damp i can feel the moisture in the air igni will be useless here maybe quen would be extra effective ? moving a bit ahead i see creatures that actually looks like drowners from the Witcher game well they were based on mythology i guess it's normal to find them here, killing them is easy but the problem is their number better bait them out.
15th floor, damn that 5 floors not that i got injured but i got soaked from the moisture in the fucking air, my beautiful hair feels wet dammit. On this floor i saw centaurs? and they all have bows ? and all of them are aiming for me right now? sigh QUEN, after getting out of the firing range they started fighting by kicking but that wasn't very effective and they passed away rather easy on the next floor they all had halberds.
Great 10 Centaurs with halberds, i run up to them using aard i pulled one of them from it's leg and it gave enough time to jump and behead it while dodging the rest since there's not much area i only have to fight 3 of them at the same time putting a quick yrden and quen i backed away so they would get in the trap and slow down only one of them entered and died for it, last one almost got me after charging like a bull but i cut his arms off then cut him from the waist separating the two halves, rest of the Centaurs went okay after learning their moves and i moved on to the next floor
20th floor and it's direwolves i know these guys like the back of my hand by now they pose no treat maybe i should get a pure black direwolf as a pet..... Nah i barely feed myself how am i going to feed that..
30th floor opened with a pink dust rolling of it i have to guess they are succubus and if i am guessing right 35th would be incubus it's kind of messed up since i remember that Merlin is half inchbus, this poison wont affect me much but it will give me the biggest blue balls in history, please i don't want to fuck a succubus at least not now.
40th floor i don't even wanna talk about the incubus fuck that i will lock that memory forever
now, what do we have here, minotaurs nice they even have battle axes trying my weapon with a semi speed i find that it barely cuts their skin ohh i am so getting a mutagen from this i need that hard yet soft to touch skin
they have team work it's hard to dodge their attacks i already killed 3 only two left and... fuck one of them pierced through the quen with his horn and my shoulder fuck
they seem to get stronger more they fight now that my arm is out of work meaning no signs, i really find a way to turn signs into magic circles so i don't have to use my hands
this time dude didn't charge but jumped to me, smashing his axe in the air, rolling away i slashed his Achilles tendons he can wait while i kill the other one
this one lost its weapon so only thing he could do was charge but now that i see it coming it's easy to avoid and stab it from the back of the neck and the other guy is just crawling to me i quickly finish it and leave the dungeon with my loot and materials for minotaurs mutagen while drinking a potion.
____________________
I made back up to the surface this wound would at least take a week to heal normally and a 4 days with potions, my whole shoulder is broken i quickly made my way to the healers of this place to heal it faster.
Dr."Minotaur ?"
Jacob"Minotaur"
He's a cool guy and now my healing time went down to 2 days that's enough for the mutagen to brew so i made my way to the hall to give the loot and after that i go to my room to set up my distillery and taking out the pieces of the minotaur i get to the work.
____________________
After two days my job is done my shoulder healed perfectly i already removed the seals when i got my shoulder checked in didn't put it back on and now it's time for my second mutagen, here goes nothing.
*Crack* *Crack* *Crack*
AHHHH! i can hear my bones breaking apart my hands, my legs, my ribs, spine even my skull it feels as if someone put them in to a grinder and hammered them back to their places pain was so unbearable that i passed out after 3 hours of suffering.
Waking up i see that i am covered in black soot and i feel heavy like i had lead for bones, i tried to lift my hand but i can barely lift it i can see that my hand is shaking not being able to carry the weight of my skeleton so i crawled to the bath burning my pjs with igni i took a painful bath and crawled back in bed this is going to be hard getting used to it.
After proper rest realized that my bone density has increased to the point my muscles can't keep up, even walking to the built in kitchen leaves me out of breath so i called and cancelled my rent on the dungeon money gone to waste but can't do anything about this right now, only reason i haven't collapsed is because touki enhanced muscles.
I don't know how long this will take getting used to so i used last of my money to rent the room for a year with 3 meals a day for 4 people and yes i will eat them all myself thank you very much then i started my year in hell.
