Chapter 7

After Jake finished taking care of the goblins, he continued mining for a Little more time.

In that time, he was attacked by some kobolts, creatires that have human bodies but the head of a dog or a wolf. They didn't do much damage to him, but they did manage to get some hits in and get him to 4 less hearts and damage his already very damaged set of borrowed armor.

Because his armor was so damaged, he decided that he should head back. He didn't want to pay for the armor nor did he have the money to.

As he was heading back, he mined some more veins of coal, iron, stone and even some copper

But, before reaching the final room in the way to the exit he was attacked by a couple goblins and kobolts.

'Is this what a floor 1 monster party looks like or is this just a farewell gift from the dungeon until next time ?' Wondered Jake

'Well, whatever It is, it's going down'

And down It went, but, of course, not without them getting some hits in (or bites). All of his armor was barely hanging on with the durability of all four pieces of iron armor in red.

After the battle with the monsters, he headed straight to the stairs that would get him out of this place and then straight to where the guild building is.

After reaching It, he searched for the booth that his advisor, Eina, was currently working at.

After seeing her, he headed to her.

"Ah, Jake! How are you ? I'm guessing you are here to turn in the monster drops, correct ?"

"Yup" he said popping the p. "Uhhh, quick question, advisors are supposed to keep the abilities of their advised strictly confidential right ?" Asked Jake, a Little nervos, after realizing that he forgot to take the monster drops out of his inventory beforehand.

But, It wasn't really like he already had something to put them in instead.

"Yes... We are supposed to keep them confidential.

...

Jake, what did you do ?" asked Eina with a scary look on her face.

"Before I tell you anything, can we go somewhere where we have more privacy ?" asked Jake looking at all the adventurers currently in the guild

"Yes, there are some private booths right this way. They are made with special materiale that don't allow sound to pass through from the inside. Follow me."

After a pretty short walk, they reached one of the private booths and entered it

"Alright spill It ! What did you do ?" asked Eina a little impacient.

"Well... Look at this" as he said that, a bunch of monster cores appeared from thin air on the table in front of them.

"Wha... WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED !? WHAT DID YOU DO !?"

"It's something called an inventory. It's basically my own poker dimension that is used to carry stuff around with me."

Hearing this, Eina calmed down and thought about what she just heard and its implications

"I wanted to do this privately so that no one else saw It and got any bright ideas" said Jake

"Yeah. I can see why you would want that. Who knows what some them would do with that information. You are basically the perfect supportes. I don't even think you will even need a supporter with this ability"

"Now then, tell me a full raport of how the exploration went. And don't skip any details"

Hearing this, Jake started recounting all of the events that happened down there, which were nothing special.

"Would you like to exchange the monster cores ?" asked Eina after calming down a little.

"Yes. As well as these" said Jake showing 3 goblin fangs

"Alright then, let me just calculate the sum of these items and I'll be back to you" said Eina walking away to count the items and see how much they are worth.

After a while, she came back with a bag full of Valis and said "Alright Jake here is your money"

"Thanks Eina, see you tomorrow"

After leaving the guild, of course after leaving the aloaned starter gear, he headed straight to the church, his and his goddess's home.

After arriving, he said "I'm home!" only to then be assulted by a balistic Hestia coming in to hug and kiss him welcome.

"You're back! How was your trip ? You didn't get Hurt did you ?" asked Hestia concerned

"No, I didn't get hurt. The armor did its job protecting me"

"Good. Now then, let's update your status"

After saying that, they headed to the bed and Hestia dropped a drop of her divine blood on his bare back be able to interact with his status and, therefore update It.

"Hm ?"

"What is It ? Is something wrong ?"

"No. I was just a little surprized." After she said that, she handed him the status information she copied on a piece of paper

On it, there was written:

STR I 24 (+10)

VIT I 15 (+10)

DEX I 20

AGI I 20

MAG I 0

And no other changes

"Congrats on a successful dungeon dive Jake !" said Hestia with a smile on her face

"Thanks ! We should celebrate a little. What do you Say we go out to eat ? I kinda made a promise to someone when I came into the city that I would eat at the Hostess of fertility once I had the money" said Jake

'T-the 2 of us ? Eating out toghether ? I-is he asking me out on a d-d-date ?' thought Hestia as a red blush started to form on her face

"That sounds great ! Let's go !" said Hestia excited

And so, they started going on their way to the Hostess of fertility unaware of the events taking place... For now

Unknown to everyone the presence of Jake in dungeon caused something to happen.

Suddenly, the dungeon started shaking

A very large person sitting on a throne in a room that looks like an altar suddenly jolted a little and opened his eyes.

'Something is happening. But what ?' he thought

The dungeon is very much a sentient being, able to feel emotions. Granted, its emotions are negative most of the time, but emotions none the less

And now....

.....

It had some new ideas.
