Realm of Shadows: The Enchanted Dungeon

In a peaceful corner of the kingdom's border, lives Sebastian, a dedicated botanist whose passion for plants is only matched by his lack of adventure skills. However, he has always found solace in crafting poisons to protect himself while collecting samples in the dangerous surroundings of the enchanted forest. His tranquil life takes an unexpected turn when a group of daring adventurers arrives with a strange request: they need a doctor to accompany them on a perilous expedition, as they lack a priest capable of healing their wounds. Despite his doubts and limitations, Sebastian accepts the proposition and ventures into the forest alongside the group of adventurers. After two days of arduous trekking, they discover a recently formed dungeon. Blinded by greed, they decide to explore it, and Sebastian is compelled to follow suit. Upon reaching the depths of the dungeon, they find a mysterious red orb radiating a hypnotic glow. Beside it, a malnourished and terrified little girl watches them, trembling in fear. Convinced that the girl is the dungeon's master, they mercilessly resolve to end her life. However, Sebastian staunchly opposes such cruelty. Disregarding his objections, the adventurers press on with their plan, unleashing a critical battle. In a desperate act, Sebastian employs his deadliest poison to confront his companions. After a bitter struggle, he emerges victorious and chooses to protect the girl as if she were his own daughter. Little does Sebastian know that his noble action will unleash a series of events that will lead to the emergence in the future of the "Empress of the Eternal Night." As the secrets of the girl and her connection to the dungeon unravel, Sebastian delves into a world of magic, power, and darkness, defying his own peaceful nature as he fights to protect those he loves and confronts the terrible challenges that lie ahead. Can Sebastian face his own intertwined destiny with the girl and the hidden power that resides deep within the dungeon? Discover the secrets of the "Empress of the Eternal Night" in this thrilling and captivating story of adventure, love, and sacrifice. Embark on this thrilling tale of romance and action, where Sebastian's world is forever changed. Though I am new to writing, I assure you that it will be an engaging journey. I have always admired strong female characters in stories, so there won't be any kind of betrayal or romantic relationships between women. This story will be a long one, so don't expect the protagonist to conquer worlds and move mountains in the first 100 chapters. I prefer a slower pace, but rest assured, there will be intense battles. This is a safe haven where the heroines are strong enough to fend for themselves, eliminating the need for kidnappings.

Kaili

Once everything returned to calm, a sepulchral silence arose, Aurora looked at Sebastian in a solemn way, while Sebastian looked towards where the creature was summoned.

In front of both of them, a spherical-shaped goo with flashing purple runes glowing on its body lay floating in the air, the runes had complex symbols, glowing in a threatening way, it emitted a feeling of mystery and fear, just by seeing such a creature, one might think that you will die just by touching it.

"So this is a throne" Sebastian whispered inaudibly.

"I dunno, I don't see it as powerful as the system described it," Aurora said as her eyes scanned the strange creature.

"System, could you tell us what's going on?"Sebastian decided to ask the system.

[I understand your concerns, the throne is in perfect condition, however due to Aurora's level, it is partially limited to being in that form, in order to get a full form, it must evolve.] the system explained.

"I see, what do I need for the throne to evolve?"

[The throne will manage to evolve once it reaches level 10. After that, it will undergo a transformation and its shape will change]

"Then we have to go back to hunting monsters, Sigh.... I wanted to stay here for a while resting, to come back out later" Sebastian looked a little exhausted due to the circumstances.

"Sebastian, does that mean we won't be able to rest?"Aurora looked at Sebastian with teary eyes.

"Unfortunately we have to hurry to increase our strength, we can't live being weak for long, sooner or later strong beasts will find us and we will die" Sebastian kindly explained to Aurora.

"Putting that aside." Sebastian turned his gaze back to the strange creature.

"What name are you going to give to your new throne, Aurora?"

"Hm..? Name? I don't know how to put names," Aurora said in a puzzled way.

"It seems I forgot that little detail, looking at it well, I don't know if it's male or female gender, Aurora, what was the gender choice you gave her?"

Aurora scratched her head in a confused way, she barely understood what Sebastian was talking about, however soon after she got an enlightenment "Oh yes!... Sebastian, when I invoked him, I did it thinking in a way that he was similar to me, so I guess he must be the same as me"

Sebastian looked strangely towards the floating creature and slowly approached her "Then I guess you're a girl, Hm.... What name should I give you?. Do you have any suggestions or something you like?"

The creature did not respond to Sebastian's questions, it just kept floating in a static way along with its flashing lights.

"wow, I was a fool, I forgot that you don't even have a mouth, how are you going to talk?"Sebastian lightly scratched his cheek in an embarrassed way.

"I know!, Sebastian, we have to name her Black gobblin, gobblins are what we hunt the most and also because his appearance is dark" Aurora said with a smile.

Sebastian looked at Aurora, regretting his decision to even take her into account when naming names, he really felt sorry if there was ever any creature that she named, after all, their names are stupid.

"Sigh... I guess this is up to me, listen well, little throne, from now on your name will be... Kaili," Sebastian said proudly as he took the creature in his arms and carried it slowly.

The creature, in response trembled slightly, manifesting a little joy, at least that was what Sebastian thought.

"Alright, system, show me Kaili's stats" Sebastian requested the system.

"What the fuck is this! That maybe nothing in this dungeon could have normal stats? What is this nonsense about having 350 agility points!?"Sebastian was completely depressed, he began to doubt if maybe he was the only weakling in the world.

"What's wrong, Sebastian?" Aurora asked, concerned by his outburst.

"It's nothing," Sebastian said, trying to brush it off. "It's just that Kaili's stats are a little...unusual."

"Unusual?" Aurora asked. "What do you mean?"

"Well, her agility is way too high," Sebastian said. "It's almost twice as high as her strength."

"That's not so bad," Aurora said. "Agility is important for dodging attacks."

"But it's not just that," Sebastian said. "Her intelligence is also very high. Higher than mine, even."

"That's even better," Aurora said. "She'll be able to learn new skills faster."

English: "Well, you're certainly right, kaili has very high stats in agility, so I guess he could be something like an assassin or a wizard, I really feel that kaili could play any role in the battle and would not lack in any area, just like you" Sebastian was totally satisfied with this new addition to the troops.

"M.... I think we could see the performance he has in the battle tomorrow when we go to kill monsters" Aurora commented with a voice of wisdom.

Sebastian lay totally surprised by Aurora's reasoning. He didn't know that Aurora was capable of coming to such a conclusion on her own. After all, she is usually very immature due to her age.

"You are growing Aurora, I am proud of you...."Sebastian addressed a few proud words to Aurora before being interrupted by her.

"But... I still think that black gobblin was a great name for Kaili, it sounds amazing I don't know how you could refuse such a magnificent name" Aurora said proudly.

Sebastian's smile disappeared in a very quick way, instead, it was replaced by a look directed at Aurora as if she were looking at a complete idiot. 'Where does this little girl get those ridiculous names, Sigh... It doesn't matter, I just won't ask for your opinion again when it comes to naming things.'

I apologize to my readers but I honestly can't speak the English language, so there may be translation errors, thank you. If possible help me by donating power stones, please
