The art of dungeon creation—a golden opportunity to ascend above the chaos and establish his dominion. With power comes adversaries...

Chapter 621- The Queen Of Harpies
The nightmarish training continued every day. The only time Simon got breaks was when his taskas as the dungeon master caught up with him or during the time he spent diving inside the serenity pond.
Even the mind numbing pain of the serenity pond became something of a delightful escape for him. One could imagine what sort of hellish training regime Irene had prepared for him.
It was not only Simon that was training wholeheartedly, all of his subordinates were affected by this atmosphere and devoted themselves to get stronger. Whether it be the Valkyries or even the unsuitable for combat [Helpers], they all came to Irene for guidance and polished the skills and gifts they received from the dungeon.
They trained diligently not for themselves but for the sake of one person, Simon.
