Zero was still busy absorbing the leftover scarab corpses when he sensed someone powerful approaching them. "Quickly, get everything inside, I will leave the sorting to you," Zero whispered and stashed everything away, not caring if his assistants complained about the smell. That was their problem to deal with. Just as the last corpse went in, someone appeared from behind the mound of poop. Zero couldn’t see very well in the dark but he had a feeling this new character was human, at least more…-

Feeling adequately insulted by the brazen elf’s choice of a nickname for him, the Silver Scarab King wasn’t going to show him any mercy. Dung Lord wasn’t a compliment, on the contrary, it was a taunt to get him out of hiding and it almost worked. Thankfully, he wasn’t that stupid to fall or such provocations. "Don’t think that this is over," he warned Zero. "I’m not an easy opponent like the other two. This will be your burial ground." In the dark, Zero only rolled his eyes. Was it…

Happy with his huge haul and the relatively low fuss of defeating the scorpions, Zero took his time to explore, map out the dungeon and make his way down to the lower floors. The dungeon didn’t seem to move much and Zero was not convinced that it wasn’t anything like Sleepy Cave that could alter its interior on will. If anything, the most this dungeon could do was repair itself when it was damaged and retain the souls within its domain for birthing new monsters to harvest mana from unsuspecting…

Zero had just taken care of Penelope’s children when he heard scuttling coming from the upper floors of the dungeon. He waited in the dark for them to arrive because they sounded very near. However, about ten minutes later, the movement stopped and everything became deathly still. "What’s going on?" he wondered. Whoever they were, they refused to move from their spot so Zero consulted the map. The red dots appeared to be camping nearby and out of sight for some reason as if trying to lay an…

Penelope was about to use another acid spray on Zero when she saw what the elf was doing and froze in the middle of her attack. Those were...those were her children’s corpses! Indeed, Zero started to bring them out from his inventory and used them to form a huge wall in front of him. The dungeon does not recognise a corpse from the dungeon if an adventurer brought it out of the dungeon and back again but Penelope recognised her children instantly. These unfortunate spiders might just be a vessel for…

With all the spider minions retreating, Zero held his stance. From this point onwards, he wasn’t going to let anyone pass. The mother spider might not be the boss of this dungeon but Zero was willing to bet she was one of the important pillars supporting it. If there were spider minions and a spider boss, there should be a scorpion boss too but Zero would tackle that later. The mother spider appeared and Zero gulped. She was huge but more importantly, she looked like something out of a nightmare that…

Zero had to say, the one thing unbearable about this strategy was the feeling of hairy legs crawling all over him. Zero didn’t absorb all the spiders in one go. He did it slowly so that the spiders wouldn’t notice that their siblings were disappearing as he ’struggled’ in their captivity. The webs that they produced to wrap him in were also slowly absorbed into his void inventory. All in all, Zero was enjoying the experience with the exception of crawling legs all over him. If one spot got too…

Zero concentrated the flow of qi into his hands and condensed it together like how he was taught and held the pressure within his palm. With enough energy circulating, it started to glow and Zero opened his eyes to look at the lighted cave. Thousands of red eyes stared back at him and Zero shuddered. Each creature had eight hairy legs, eight red eyes and they were all looking at him hostilely. Anyone with arachnophobia would have died on the spot and even for those who didn’t, they would have faltered…

After escaping Truen’s watchful eyes, Zero was excited to have his own adventure. He felt slightly apologetic for Mii, Lily and Wii in his mindscape going crazy after he overrode the system and shut their connection away. Zero had the map pulled out and his heart raced. This was his very first experience about a man’s romance with death as Amon put it. While Zero was certain he wasn’t going to die or see the grim reaper, he wanted to feel the thrill of going against danger. The dungeon seemed…

When Jermine and Truen were close enough, Zero stopped and told Bob to take a break. "Go and meet them, tell them to set up camp near the bedrock but not inside or after it. I’ll join shortly after I confirm some things. Also, take these." Bob didn’t question why Zero was giving a bunch of pre-drawn emergency talismans. He only asked where he should put the anchoring point to evacuate if something went south. "Oh, don’t worry about that," Zero smiled. "They’ll simply teleport to the…
