The Innkeeper's Dungeon [A Dungeon Core LitRPG]

Victoria Maxwell had helped her parents run their cozy bed and breakfast throughout most of her childhood. However, when it finally comes time for her to take over things go more than a little awry. She finds herself transmigrated into another world full of monsters and magic where she is expected to open her very own inn inside of a dungeon that she now finds herself responsible for. The only problem is, while Victoria is confident in her abilities to manage an inn and tavern, she isn't quite as qualified as she'd like to be to handle to dungeon side of things. She is neither a powerful adventurer, nor a talented craftsman, yet she will have to summon monsters, plan traps, and cater to rambunctious adventurers, if she wants to be successful in this new world. Can Victoria make peace with never seeing her beloved family again? Will her unusual dungeon hotel setup prove successful? Read on to find out! ---------- What to Expect: -Cozy innkeeping slice-of-life -Deadly traps & fun puzzles -A confident and sassy female lead -No harems, minimal romance -Minor graphic violence -Chapters 1k - 2k words long

Gargoyle's Demise

Unfortunately for Veronica, she was unable to generate any new mana until the next day. At first, she had been hopeful that she just had to wait a short while before her mana would refill. That was how it worked in games and fantasy stories, right? However, that might have been a bit shortsighted due to it being based on the assumption the mana pool was hers rather than the dungeon's. Later on, she had tried things that had made her feel a bit silly with everything from trying to feel mana in the air and willing the mana to collect to shouting things into the air. She was really glad no one was there to witness such things as it was, honestly, mortifying to reflect upon.

Of course, the next morning, was when her mana finally increased, but it wasn't by much. Only 25% of her max mana pool regenerated and it didn't round up either, meaning she only got 12 MP from it. Still, this was enough for her to summon her first gargoyle, which was the most exciting thing to happen in far too long. If the first day had taught her anything, it was that being stuck in an empty dungeon by yourself all day was very boring.

Granted, there had been other discoveries as well. She no longer required sleep, food, water, or to use the bathroom. All of this had stressed her out to no end until she had realized that she didn't exactly feel hungry or tired either. Veronica actually felt far better than she ever had before in her life. Of course, she still planned to ask Seraphina about it all once she showed up later today, just to be sure.

Much as she had been warned, a group of three adventurers turned up in her dungeon a few hours later. While she had no problem with small talk, as it was an essential skill for hospitality work, Veronica didn't exactly want to get in the way of the adventurers either. Instead, she chose to hang out on the opposite side of the dungeon from where they were. This was far easier than she thought it would be as she could somewhat sense where they were in the dungeon. Although, the uncomfortable alarming sensation she felt at their arrival was rather difficult to ignore.

For some reason, the group of three were spending an awful long time on the hotel side of the dungeon. There wasn't even anything there, so she couldn't fathom why they would do that. Opening her dungeon status menu, she was surprised to see her mana was full again. Did her mana only regenerate when adventurers were in the dungeon? Well, Veronica supposed, it was a good thing she was planning on opening a hotel then. She'd be able to earn plenty of mana once she started to get some regular patrons. It was just too bad that she couldn't spend her mana while they were in the dungeon.

After some time, she boredly opened her menus again and went through the options. However, something strange happened and she found she was able to summon a new gargoyle. That shouldn't be possible, right? Seraphina didn't seem like she was lying about the limitation, but here she was with two gargoyles now in front of her. They were rather small creatures with very typical appearances that you might expect of the sort used to adorn a tall building. However, they lacked a stone base and they could freely move around. They seemed to be fond of perching high up in the trees where it was more difficult to find them, but that wasn't a problem for Victoria thanks to the system.

Feeling bored, she decided to check out her [Missions] tab.
