My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

“What has cities, but no houses, rivers, but no fish, and roads, forests, but no trees, and roads, but no people?”

“Yeah, keep reading it, I still don’t know.”

“What’s with this dungeon?

They had managed to reach Matty’s level, this was the level that used riddles to slow them down. There were ten in all to get through the entire level. I figured it’d take them about an hour to solve it all. I had overestimated them, as they were still on the first riddle and they had yet to figure it out.

“It’s clearly a map! Why do they not grasp it?” Terra looked mildly irritated.

I seemed to recall in Terra’s dungeon, she had similarly attempted to use a riddle to delay people. She seemed to have a thing for riddles, and to find these girls struggling so much seemed to drive her crazy.

“It’s a good thing I had you reinforce this area. I wouldn’t want them busting their way through.” I complemented Terra, although I had no clue if her squirming meant she wanted the praise or was scratching an itch.

It was pretty hard dealing with her in her current form. It wasn’t like she blushed or showed facial expressions. That’s why I tried to keep complimenting her so she didn’t feel like I stopped caring that she was no longer pretty.

“Only you would be so ineloquent!” Matty snapped while I was trying to come up with more encouragement.

That wasn’t true. They had already tried to blast their way through and had failed. However, Matty was still bitter about how I had defeated his dungeon while creating quite a bit of collateral damage. Although he was speaking negatively, his attitude had improved since his mother witch was back.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Our son is very pleased. His riddle level has kept them back longer than anything else so far. He’s been a good boy.” the witch said, causing him to turn red, as she leaned in and whispered the rest to me. “You should praise him as well.”

Why should I praise him? He’s just some monster I happened to tame! He’s far different to me than Terra, despite her current monstrous appearance. That’s what I thought, but I decided encouragement might help considering how rough he had it recently.

“You’ve done well,” I responded stiffly.

Matty stiffened and then shot me a hateful glare. “Who asked you?”

He turned and ran into the forest around us. The witch sighed and then winked at me before following after him.

“I-if Master wants a baby, I’m happy to accommodate!” Shao declared.

“I already am having two!” I shot back and then blinked. “You’re back? I thought you were still taking out the enemies one by one?”

“The newer group’s perception is too great; they immediately saw me. My only choice was to flee.” Shao admitted.

“The newest group?” I opened up a screen to view that part of the dungeon.

The newest group that had entered was the final group. First, Second, and the rest of the top lionesses had entered the dungeon finally. The true battle was just about to start.
