-0-0-0-0-0- Guildmistress's Office, The Guild, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- Layla Losat was hunched over her desk, sightless eyes scanning the report on her desk. She let out a long sigh and sat back in her comfy chair when she was done. She raised one hand and gently massaged her temples. The report glossed over the early floors, with the more detailed parts about the fourth and fifth floors. Layla had already read the reports from the other platinum teams regarding the Fourth, noting that she should…-

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- The 'Heroes' passed through the first floor with minimal effort. Not unexpected, given the power difference between the crabs and these elite guilders. The crabs weren't tough, fast, or strong enough to do more than get in the way. The newly immortal Crab Knight, Sebastian the... Seventieth? I think that's about right, but I haven't strictly kept track of how many Knights have fallen in my defense. Either way, the Crab Knight was the most intelligent of…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Guild Hall, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- "Haythem Linus?" He heard a woman ask as she approached. He raised his eyes to look up at the woman. She was smartly dressed, and her green eyes shimmered in the torchlight of the guild hall's reception. "I am." He replied, sitting straighter in his chain. The woman took a wax-sealed envelope from the folder she was carrying and held it out for him with a smile. "Your results. Enjoy the rest of your day." With that, she turned and walked back to the…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- It took a few hours for the excess magic of my three new prisoners to drain fully. The amount left in their bodies was still incredibly intimidating, however. If I HAD to compare it to an RPG, I would say I've drained all the 'experience' progress they'd made to the next 'level.' That comparison isn't accurate, though, since levels aren't a thing. Humans seem to power up constantly, but slowly. The mana in their bodies is gradually assimilated by their…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Fifth Floor, The Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- Auora Isirtine watched the stone-brick walls of the dungeon with a healthy amount of caution. Though this dungeon had yet to throw something at them that could genuinely threaten her or her party, it's no excuse for negligence. A glance across the rest of the group revealed a similar outlook if the way they're scanning the hallway is any indication. As they moved through the hallways, she reflected on the floors above. The First was…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- The following day began with unusual vigor on the part of the humans delving me. They were fired up, most likely from Mushu having been defeated. From what I overheard during their celebration last night, they expected the floor to be easier. I guess I have that kind of pattern, but it's more to do with conserving resources. Yes, my mana supply is effectively endless, but plenty of it is used by various enchantments and to raise new monsters to replace…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Fourth Floor, The Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- Lukar was paranoid. The shadows in these pipes moved like liquid, twisting and striking from angles unseen. The harsh torchlight didn't help as much as you would think, only casting darker shadows. The mages of their parties, Itan and Palisa, summoned a few sprites each to light their way and banish any shadows near their group. The sprites' even light was far more effective at keeping those shadow monsters away. The way they were…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- After Isid and her party had taken the offer and left, Mushu and his lesser brethren celebrated. They had succeeded! They'd driven my enemies from the dungeon and fulfilled my orders to ensure Vena was killed. I raised the kobold who landed the killing blow into a Drake-kin that night. Still lesser than Mushu and Tear, but around the same level as the other drake-kin on the seventh floor. Speaking of Mushu, I was both glad and disappointed. Glad because…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Guild Hall, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- "So," Layla stated. With her elbows on the desk and her raised palms flat against each other, she touched the tips of her index fingers to her lips. "It was much delayed, but you have given your report. You are once again allowed access to the dungeon. You should even be able to delve tomorrow. With the silvers leaving, we have breathing room before the next wave of guilders arrives." She stared across the table at the Gorge twins, Litan and Matha,…

-0-0-0-0-0- Somewhere in the Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- Kataren stopped calling out eventually when she got bored. She hadn't exactly counted how long she'd been talking, but she knew it had been a decent amount of time. She hadn't been delivered any more food since she saw the skeleton, and she was starting to get hungry. It should be about the right time for... dinner? Breakfast? Eh, a meal, at least. It wasn't long after she heard the distinctive sound of claws on stone. Honestly, it's kind…
