"Miguelito, are you sure that no one else has seen them" Lilly points at the two new servants, mike is confused at Lilly's attitude "Yeah I'm sure, why?" Lilly presses against her temples "Ay, Miguelito, it's too early for this, you're already giving me a headache" Lilly takes a sip from her coffee ''ok then, the fact that you made a human servant is already a problem, but you also found proof of other civilizations in the dungeon" Mike started to understand that what he had done was very complicated. "you can't let it be known until I can talk things through with Liv, we need to make sure that the AHA doesn't try to control you since they hold a monopoly on everything about dungeons, I worry that they will try to forcefully recruit you into the association"mike was skeptical "aren't you over exaggerating a little bit?" Lilly throws the half-filled cup of coffee across the room "Miguelito you don't seem to understand, although the guilds and the AHA have made things as normal as possible, the whole world is now a warzone, and drafting you into the AHA is technically possible since its technically a military entity". Mike knew that she was right "let me and Liv take care of this, in the meanwhile don't bring those familiars out in public" Lilly stands up  in irritation "your awakening seems to be special somehow... but this can be very dangerous until you can protect yourself or I can protect you, we are going to have to be careful in the future, or else things could go south real quick... for now just continue with the dungeon and when I come up with an idea with Liv ill send you an update"  she passes him a pen and paper that was on the desk "write down their information like you did last time"

Mike wrote down:

Both Rank A

Unnamed (Level 107)

Elven Assasin

Skills "Master of blades: can freely use bladed weapons easily" "Shadow Step: quick movement skill that can ignore obstacles"

Unnamed  (Level 105)

Elven Healer

Skills  "Heal: quickly heals the target" "Protect: places a protective barrier and raises magical resistance on target" "Restore: recovers the target from unfavorable status effects"

Lilly takes the paper from Mike and reads "A rank.... are you sure?" Mike nods at her "Don't tell anyone... and for the love of god don't name them, you passed out trying to name a B-rank servant... we don't know what will happen if you attempt an A rank and yes there is a huge difference between the ranks" mike looks at the servants "ill wait on naming them until I get a little stronger" Lilly starts to walk out "you mean a lot stronger" she walks out and the servants return to their resting place.

in the dungeon John wakes up to his alarm going off and he walks out of the tent to find, Mike sitting in a chair drinking water "You're finally awake... hey I have a question, do you know why a D rank dungeon would have so many F rank monsters" John yawns and stretches "I've been in a similar dungeon, I was told that it's a difficult dungeon because of the number of monsters, not their strengths... but I heard that most guilds avoid these dungeons because they can be dangerous if you let your guard down and end up surrounded... but don't worry those rats your familiars brought are E rank... barely but E rank" mike thought it was strange that his newly made servants are F-rank but it makes sense that the familiars aren't as strong as the original. suddenly Mike thought that the corpses of the new elven servants might have been even stronger than A rank, he then looked at his stats on the menu hoovering in front of him.

mike was confused at the fact that summoning  the two A ranks made him pass out but he was able to summon over 100 E to F ranks and it only made him tired. "guess Lilly was right, theres a big differance between ranks" John was confused by that but continued working, while the familiars continued bringing in more corpses. "theres no end to this, mike, your familiars keep bringing in more and more of these rats" mike looks at the large amounts of almost monsters next to john "Why are you not skinning the rats, looks like your only taking the claws and mana crystals in their chest" John continues to do what he was doing "their not worth enough since there arnt any buyers, the claws are barely worth anything themselves, this dungeon is only profitable for the large quantities not so much the quality materials, if we could find a buyer then it would be a different matter all together" Mike thinks for a moment "completly dismantel one of them and ill see if i can find a buyer, but ill need a sample".

Mike decided to find a monster equipment shop that would buy the monster hides so he headed to the high-end stores he had gone to previously, but store after store rejected the offer since there wasn't enough of a customer base for equipment. Mike was turned away from all the stores in the mall and decided to look for someone instead to make prototype equipment with the monster materials. Mike spends the rest of the day looking for artisans, leather workers, and even tailors without any success. Mike remembers that he had gone with his mother in the past to get clothing altered at their local indoor swapmeet, feeling like a long shot Mike still went there and browsed around the stores. one by one, he looked through the stores. he made his way towards the back where he entered the last hole-in-the-wall shop. when he entered he noticed the usual clothes, after a moment of looking through the stock he started to walk out in disappointment. while walking out he noticed a handmade belts on a rack which were simple but he was attracted to them as though they attracted him slightly more that the other clothes int he shop, he looked back at the tailor working on some clothes in the back of the room "can i help you with something?, is there anything your interested in?" mike grabed the belt "yes, this belt was it made here?" the tailor saw the belt in mikes hands "yes, those were just made by my son, he likes working with leather, hes still learning but he seems to have a nack for this stuff... if you want it the priced are on the tags" mike looked at the tag and saw that the tag only showed 10 dollars but when he held the belt he felt a pleasureable feeling from it like when wearing hunter equipment. "what kind of leather is this?" the shop owner stoped what she was doing for a moment "he made that from regular leather straps that i used on other clothing in this shop, i think its standard cows leather" mike was confused because i only got that feeling from the belt, the rest of the clothing felt normal "would it be alright if i met with him, i have a custom order i would like to see if he could help me with" the shop owner stoped what she was going and got closer to the register "so what is it you need i can make it, no problem" "i wouldnt mind if its another belt, shoes or some clothing but i want the same person who made this belt to make my order and i would provide the materials for him to use" the shop owner was confused "that shouldnt be a problem but hes not very experienced and i cant gerantee the results" mike saw that she was worried "dont worry ill pay up front and, i wont complain about the finished product, since i have more materials, but if i like it ill be back with more orders, ill be right back..." mike went out to the car and returned with a box, he then placed the box on the table and behind him entered a young man with a leather apron "hey mom, i got your message, whats going on, i still have plenty of work to do for Mr. Lee" when he walked in the shop owner explained what was going on "mom, i just made those so that the extra materials wouldnt go to waste, i dont know anything about making other clothes, if he wants metal work or jewelery i can help but i dont know about clothes" the shop owner explained that her son worked for the local jewelery "thats fine ill give you a couple days, what ever the result ill pay you 200 dolars for the finished product, but if you make a good product ill hire you to make other things, what do you think?" considering that he wouldnt have to pay for material and would still be paid for the product whether or not there is a good result "think about it ill be back tomorrow for that box if it your answer is a no, if its a yes just let me know tomorrow when youll be able to have it done by" mike walks out, leaveing the two of them there.

mike returned to the dungeon and found John still working hard and Mollie organizing the material "hey guys, hows it going" John keeps working "look at the reciept that they gave mollie and see for yourself" mike went over to one of the tables that had some documents on top and read out the number on the reciept "twelve thousand six hundred eighty nine" John and Mollie had a smile on their face "thats it?... what are we going to do about this" Mollie was confused "what are you talking about, that was a great haul for our first day in this trial run" Mike looks at all the corpses "making a profit from those left over monster parts could help us make more money and..." Mike notices that John has continued working without stoping "an extra hand to help out John would also make things more efficient" Mollie looked at John and the corpses "that would at least double our earnings but how are we going to make any profit from weak monster corpses, it cost companies to much to process and make equipment to make enough profit from them" mike smirked "your looking at it all wrong, instead why dont you think of this as free material that can be made into equipment for a percentage of profits" Mollie was confused "do you have the skills to make equipment, ive heard that their very saught after skills for companies, so unless you do, finding an artisan to accept the work will be more expensive than the worth of the equipment", "we'll never know if we dont give it a shot, but looking at all this lost potential, makes me at least want to give it a shot" mike sees his orcs bring in freshly killed corpses "for now lets fix one problem at a time, Ruina come here.... John can you please completely take apart a couple of corpses while Ruina watches?" John was confused but accepted non less, after taking them apart 1 ruina grunted "Really?, alright give it a go" Ruina picked up a skinning knife and perfectly imitated John. "are you kidding me this whole time, I've been doing this alone and you have a familiar that could have helped me" mike laughed "this is new to me too, but don't worry your percentage stays the same if you need more help later we'll find a solution" mike then looked at the other two orc servants "we'll have to find others since I don't think those two would be much help in this"
