The Dungeons Endless Predicament - Volume 1 Chapter 11 Learning And Practice Starts

“Well monsters are basically animals who have acc.u.mulated ambient energy in their bodies. This will eventually lead to either the animals death or to become a monster.”

“Is it normal for this to happen? Or does it only happen in certain places?”

“Yup this usually only happens in places that suddenly have an increase in ambient energy or when a normal animal wonders into a place with lots of ambient energy and the animal eats some plants with lots of energy.”

“Does the first scenario happen often?”

“It happens in some places more often than in others but in most places it paces by kind of like a yearly storm that is fast but strong. This causes lots of property damage to more unlucky people but for most it is a normal inconvenience since even normal people cultivate the first few levels of the mortal stage so the new monsters aren’t much of a problem.”

“Hmm than what about the monsters we can place in our dungeon what are they?”

“Well our monsters are more like energy constructs than anything else. When the stronger one are destroyed they leave behind a small core that can be used to make certain equipment.”

“How is the strength ranked for monsters? Is it the same as humans or is it on a different system.”

“Well monsters are put into the same system as humans but due to them having a much stronger vitality and defense they tend to be harder to kill.”

“So could the reason you said that dungeons are valued because of the experience they give in fighting in a more predictable setting?”

“You got it. The best place to fight monsters is in the dungeons but you can’t keep the hide nor flesh so hunting in the wilderness is still popular but not as popular as searching for treasure in a dungeon.”

“So that’s why besides the skill stones dungeon are seen as a needed thing in this world.”

“Yep.”

“Well besides monsters are there any other threats to look out for? Well besides other people.”

“It’s rare but demons can sometimes be found in forests.”

Demons? Is this another race?”

“Nope. Demons are monsters that have fulfilled two requirements. First to gain intelligence and second to obtain a form similar to one of the 7 races. This is why their dangerous. Not only can they hide in cities or villages but they will likely carry with them a dislike or even hate of the 7 races. They actually managed to form a few countries on Dwargon and the Wildes in the past but I’m not sure if their still around.”

“Dwargon and Wildes? Are those places?”

N They are the continents that the dwarves and the beastkin populate. Each of the 7 races comes from one of the seven continents. The one we’re on right now is the Forgotten Lands that was once populated by the Forgotten.”

The Forgotten? Why is this race called that?”

“Well it’s because they are known to exist because of their ruins that can be found on all continents but no race has any doc.u.ments as to what they looked like or even what happened to them. All records on Othorix only go back at most to a few thousand years ago which is when the calender starts on Othorix. Before that it’s unknown what happened or even exactly when.”

“That sounds like a huge mystery. Well now that I know a bit of what to look out for when should we leave for the nearest settlement?”

“Not so fast. Before we go anywhere you need to at least reach the first level of the human stage.”

“How do I even do that? The only cultivation method I have is just an accompanying one to help with cultivation. Where do I even find on that has a huge focus on vitality?”

“Haaa~ Have you really forgotten what I am?”

“A baby dragon with the memories of an a.d.u.l.t dragon?”

“Yep and I have a method that you can practice with.”

“Eh. Um will it really be OK for me to practice a dragons method I mean I don’t exactly have scales or a tale you know.”

“For normal humans it would be disastrous to try and practice a dragon cultivation method because of how all dragon cultivation methods are dual practice types. You on the other hand have a terrifying vitality so you can practice it with only a few problems.”

“What kind of problems?”

“Ah you know your eyes changing color when you fight and your skin become a bit dragon like.”

“So it will be real hard for me to walk around without a full robe.”

“A bit but only for the first three stages once you reach that threshold you will be able to hide those things.”

“Fine. What is the methods name”

“The Law Eating method!”

(Why do all these methods involve eating!)
