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.

Thrones

Sebastian and Aurora were amazed to hear the explanation of the system about the Thrones. What exactly were these beings? How could they help them defend their dungeon?.

"Can I create my own thrones?"Aurora asked, excited by the possibility of having a powerful armed force of her own.

[Yes, you can do it. You just need to provide a drop of your blood that the system will extract and choose the gender. The system will take care of the rest, creating a new species that will act as the general of its armed forces.]

Aurora was excited about the possibility of creating Thrones of her own, but Sebastian still had some questions.

"How do we know which monsters are suitable to mix with demon king's blood?"Sebastian asked.

[The system will automatically search for special monsters that are compatible with the demon king's blood. These monsters have unique characteristics that make them ideal to be mixed with the blood of the demon king and create a powerful Throne.]

Sebastian and Aurora were relieved to hear this. Now they knew that they wouldn't have to worry about choosing the right monster to create their Thrones.

"This is amazing! How much does it cost to create a throne?"Aurora asked, eager to start creating her own armed force.

[The cost of creating a Throne depends on the level of the monsters that are mixed with the demon king's blood. The higher the level of the monster, the more expensive it will be to create a Throne. As an additional fact, when summoning a throne, it is summoned with the same level of the summoner, because of this I provided the suggestion to create one now that your level is low and since you have a considerable amount of dungeon coins, you could consider buying one, thrones at high levels are inaccessible for low-level dungeons due to the exorbitant price, you should keep in mind that a low-level Demon King starts with level 70]

"¡70! Aurora is only a weakling of level 7, now it seems that her start in this world is indeed absolutely difficult" Sebastian looked at Aurora with a look of pity.

"You! Sebastian, don't intimidate me" Aurora looked towards Sebastian with an embarrassed face, as she felt sorry for being weak.

"How could I intimidate you? Every day you become much stronger than me, in any case you are a danger to my weakling self" Sebastian also felt that the world was not fair to him.

Sebastian and Aurora exchanged a look of understanding with each other, after putting the matter aside, they had something else on their minds, They knew that they would have to spend a significant amount of Dungeon Coins to create powerful Thrones, but they also knew that it would be worth it.

"Let's do it! I want to create a Throne and see what it is capable of," said Aurora, excited by the possibility of having her first subordinate.

Sebastian nodded enthusiastically, but before that he decided to ask "System, there is a limit on the thrones what can the system create?"

[The system has no limit to create special monsters from the blood of the demon king, however, due to the use of blood essence, the Demon King does have a limit, a demon king like Aurora has the maximum ability to create 5 Thrones]

"5 Thrones?"Aurora looked noticeably disappointed, she thought that one day she would make an army of Monsters.

[Yes, you can create 5 Thrones, but before you get disappointed I have to tell you that a normal demon king can only create 1 throne or some can't even create one, you are a special case]

Suddenly Aurora felt her mood rising exponentially, she looked at Sebastian with pride and decided to show off once again "I told you to trust me, Sebastian, with me by your side luck will always be brilliant"

Sebastian looked at her as if she were a little girl with her fairy tale delusions and I move on to the important part "System, Tell me about the thrones"

[The thrones are extremely powerful beings that share the potential what the demon king has, they are at the top of the food chain but below one, at high levels some are able to break the laws of the world, just like the demon king, the world considers them a potential danger, and their strength depends largely on the quality of the blood that the demon king has, there are Thrones with different attributes, from simple like sword energy to abysmally powerful beings with special attributes, such as space or time, it is important to emphasize that even the thrones can be improved by system items, they are extremely loyal to the demon king and will not hesitate to die for them, it is the power of the demon king to choose the gender he wants his summoning to have, but the species and attributes are random, they will depend totally on chance.]

"it seems fine to me, however, how much would it cost us to summon a throne right now?"asked Sebastian intrigued

[Throne: 10,000 Dungeon Coins. Description: Faithful servants of the demon king, the thrones are extremely powerful beings, eager for blood and desire for battle, with the heart in search of conquest, they seek to shed a river of blood on their enemies]

"Well, this description sounds kind of scary" Sebastian felt that one more dangerous monster by his side accompanying him would be something troublesome but not impossible to bear, after all, he didn't believe that he would be killed by a subordinate of Aurora.

Sebastian and Aurora came to the conclusion that it would be wise to first go back to the dungeon and do the summoning, so without wasting any time, they went back to the dungeon with the excitement of having a new companion
