Ores

When Jin entered with the two hunters following closely behind him. The first thing that both of them saw was a beautiful land.

There was some little hills, a crystal-clear river flowing through the center of the cave and a clean ground with grass. On the ceiling they could see a clear blue sky with a sun shining down on them.

The moment these hunters entered, they had their mouths open in shock. It was their first time seeing a blue sky in a dungeon and without mentioning the beautiful scenery before them.

Not to mention grass, flowers could be seen everywhere and in the river, one could see a great amount of fish.

Following Jin a little further onto the first floor, while looking everywhere, they saw different tunnels leading further inside the floor.

In the tunnels, when they saw the different ores in great quantities, the hunters had a face red with joy as they could almost already see their future.

After touring the tunnels for a few dozen minutes, the hunters left the dungeon in a hurry to join the rest of the hunters and report their findings to the chief of their village.

However, one of them stayed at the entrance of the dungeon to protect it from other people such as the hunters from other villages who lived in the forest as it was really important for their future and they didn't want to take a chance.

While he was waiting inside the dungeon, a few wild animals had entered because of the dense mana the dungeon released. Of course, when the hunter who stayed on watch saw them, he sent a few arrows to kill and than he collected them.

Jin, who had left the hunters a little bit earlier pretending that he had to go back to his house, had managed to go back to the core room on the second floor unnoticed by the other humans.

He was closely following their every movement in case something unexpected happened. But to his greatest pleasure, they even left a hunter in the dungeon which would both protect and give GP to their dungeon.

——————————————

Iris had been watching how Jin had brought the humans in the dungeon and she too was overwhelmed by joy as she saw her amout of points increasing.

The hunters could give up to a few hundred points per hour because they were stronger than average people.

The GP gained from the human or monster depended on their strength. The stronger one was and the greater the amount of GP collected.

While Iris was looking through the rising DP one by one, Jin came back from his little trip only to see her leaned in front of the blue ball.

"Iris? What are you doing?"

"Ha? I was only looking at the increasing amount of points, it's the first time I see it getting higher this fast." When she answered him, a faint blush could be seen on her face has she was embarrassed from her own action.

"So? What are we going to do now?"

"Now? We're waiting for the others to come."

Even tough he would have wanted to continue making the dungeon, he still didn't have enough points to make it work and he needed to keep at least a few points in case of an emergency. When beginning a dungeon like this, the points were so important that each and every one of them was a treasure.

He couldn't do anything but wait for the amount to increase. Since they had nothing to do, Jin started to talk with Iris. It was a fact that ever since he had came to the dungeon, they didn't really talk much with each other and they mostly only talked about the dungeon.

For a few hours, they continued to talk and Jin looked from time to time from the corner of his eyes the amount of points he had. He couldn't help but feel happy. It was the same feeling that he would have when he finally had his pay for a week of work. It was a great feeling.

The time flew by and it was already night so he lied down on the floor that was both cold and hard. However, he didn't really have a choice in this matter since he didn't want Iris to sleep on the floor so he had left her the chair.

1st year, 1st month, 2nd day

When Jin woke up in the morning, all his body ached from pain. He looked towards Iris who was still sleeping and he turned his eyes to the map near her.

Looking at the map, the first thing he felt was stress. He could see around fifty red dots on the first floor.

However, when he looked closer, he finally understood that it was the hunters and probably some people from their village that had entered the dungeon to mine the ores of the dungeon.

Seeing as they were all spread around the first floor made Jin delighted as his plan had been completed way faster than he had expected.

Most of them were mining in the walls of the dungeon while around ten or so were collecting the ores and bringing them close to each other.

Three persons from the ten were protecting the ores just in case something happened and some others were transporting them out of the dungeon with carts made of wood.

The sky on the first floor was made to be a reflection of the real one. As such, in night the sky of the first floor would be starry with a moon passing through.

However, he had already planned it out. It was time for the will-o-wisp that Jin had bought previously to shine. They made some light but only in the tunnels under the orders of Jin because he wanted the humans to eventually create a village in the dungeon's first floor. However, who would want to sleep in a dungeon if there was a lot of light due to the monsters?

So with Jin's command, the will-o-wisp only lighted the tunnels to make it easier for people to work.
