"Yes." Artemis nodded. All of them sheepishly left. Too embarrassed to do anything more sexy with Alex.

But Alex had no idea that his cooking had taken them by surprise. But from now on, all of them would hold nothing back.

Alex, still unaware would from now on face a life both in heaven and hell.

But, it was time for him to start his own work. An option came up in front of him when he willed it.

[Please place entrance of dungeon.]

Alex went ahead and placed it in the adventuring section of his tavern. A place where people can turn in monster bits and pieces for the bounty on their head. Fuck, he would have alot of problems managing this all on his own. He needed to get some help. He had seen a few pelicans for hire but the problem was that he was already in the negative and was not able to hire them.

Alex had realized that he would have difficulty managing the store in the beginning. Maybe, he could get a Meowth. They were a one time purchase for him and they could add to his debt. The interest rate was compounded weekly and Alex had realized that he would not be able to pay off everything if he did not start making some credits.

A meowth did not have a weekly wage so he could buy one even when he was in debt. He would just need to add a little to his own debt. Not a little, he would need to add a lot. He would not self delude himself like this.

With tears in his eyes, he made an adventuring section. There would also be a section where someone can turn in mana stones from monsters to get credit. Use their raw materials for the purpose of cooking or smithing.

It was not someone, it would have to be him who would do all that. Maybe he could set a holiday for himself, until he could get some more hired help to manage this place. He could not do everything at once, could he.

He then set up the potion section where a list of health, stamina and mana potions were available. He did not need to craft anything here. He would just need to accept payments from his patreons. Did he need to learn about every skill under the sky just to manage this tavern.

He could have meowth working with him first to accept all the items and processing and smithing requests. He could do them on the weekends which he would declare as holidays, except for the purpose of eating and drinking.

A solid plan formed inside his mind. He finally for to placing the entrance to the dungeon. It was meant to act as a portal which would take people to the first floor of the dungeon.

Looking at the different options, there were different awards for people. There were an unlimited number of floors, with awards for being the first discoverer of monsters and also the first slayer as well. Information regarding them can also be shared as well with the adventurer guild. AKA only him. Maybe he could commission people to make a map as they go deeper. And with what, with his non existent points.

The doorway to the dungeon had opened up. It was a place where people could go in and fight monsters. Should they die within it, it would be closed off for them a period of 2 days. The deeper them go, the more the time will increase.

0 to 20 floor. 2 days

20 to 40 floor. 4 days.

40 to 60 floor. 1 week

60 to 80 floor. 2 weeks.

and on and on.

The doorway was just a literal large door that opened up into a cavern that went deeper. There were supposed to be various environments the deeper you would go. Mountains, cities, deserts. The few above were very simple just being a large cavern.

The dungeon was set up. Alex settled down and began to make an adventurers guide for the dungeon. He had no doubt that the amazonians had their own weapons so for the moment. He would not need to invest in any beginner equipment for them. But should this place open up for the wider world, he would need the presence of plenty of beginner items. People could also use guns here as well.

And so he was done.

It was time for him to buy a meowth. With a shaking hand, he bought meowth, a talking variant of a meowth.

He was not 10000 points in debt in total. A huge portion of the shop was locked off to him for the moment.

He found a meowth in front of him. White fur with a golden coin on top of his head.

"Yo boss, what do you need me to do." He had asked him. "I can fight for you." He began to make boxing swipes as he began to jump from one foot to another. "I can even steal for you." He got on all his feet. "So, what is it going to be. Are we ready to conquer the world."

Alex nodded to himself, "No, we are going to run this shop."

Meowth had gotten a disappointed look on his face.

"And go on adventures when we have managed to get out of debt. After we have hired some help to run this place." Alex answered.

Meowth nodded to himself, with tears inside his eyes. "Yes, debt is the worse." He then looked around in curiosity. "Boss, we can't manage all this on our own."

"I know, just until we can clear our debt, then I can hire some help"

"Got it boss, but you will need to feed me and pay me as well when we are out of debt."

Alex nodded at that. He had gotten such a considerate meowth. He was the luckiest peron ever born. Alex hugged Meowth as he cried. He could finally get out of this debt with a stupit system that compounded interest weekly.

Alex told meowth to relax for the moment as he began to consider what he wanted to do now. He could make a VR game, this was a nation of women so he could make Horizon Zero Dawn. Maybe the presence of Rost would mellow the people here the hell out. Maybe show the average Amazonian that men were not all bad and help a little bit with the prejudice.

And so he picked that option. As he was enveloped and disappeared from that place into another section which was titles the internet cafe portion. The place internally increased in size once more as a huge section of pc were on display.

Alex pressed the option to create a second life for players. He found himself inside a virtual place where he could start populating it. A part of him cried when he realized that it would still take some points to do this. He would be assisted by the system while he was making the environment and the like. As well as the behaviors of the creatures and people of this world. They would act very life like, as if they had their own sentience. Anyone playing would be able to talk with them as if they were real people.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The dungeon was created and it was time for the gods to act. It was not only them that were present now. Plenty of other pantheons had been invited as well. Interest in them had dwindled throughout the centuries and they were in danger of being completely forgotten.

It would be a way for earth to strengthen itself and better protect itself. Restrictions were placed on them as they got to work creating a giant temple on the first floor of the dungeon. A place where people could receive their blessings and as a result strengthen themselves.

A way for them to progress within the dungeon. It would take some time before the dungeon was made public but that was fine with them. It was time that mortals were made aware once more of their existence. And in exchange, they would be strengthened. They would walk within the dungeon and convert their experiences directly into power.

And it would also serve as entertainment for them.
