Chapter 42 Dungeon Level Up!

After successfully 'hiring' Don, Alex immediately put them to work.

Thanks to becoming subordinates of Alex, the skill [Lord's Sanctuary] started affecting the injured thugs, healing their wounds from Alex's attack.

Immediately, they were amazed by such power.

As inhabitants of Alter Dimension, they are not ignorant of skills.

Even them have their own skills.

However, the healing power of [Lord's Sanctuary] is still an amazing thing to them who are just at low levels.

Anyway, with their injuries gone, they were able to work without any problem.

So, Alex called everyone to give an order.

The group of thugs gathered around him while their leader, Don, stood in the forefront.

Seeing that they are all here, Alex started speaking, "As you all already know, this place will soon be open as a restaurant."

"Now, your task is to advertise and let people know that there's an amazing restaurant opening here."

"Understood?"

"Yes, Boss!" Don responded.

With that, Don and his lackeys left the Lucky Dungeon to complete Alex's order.

With them out of the way, Alex turned his eyes to Ben who's been silent the whole time.

Noticing Alex's eyes on him, Ben was frightened.

"B-boss, t-that… I successfully finished what you ordered me to do."

Alex smiled, he said, "Relax, you did a good job in bringing them here."

"Now, tell me how you did it."

Hearing that, Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Boss!"

But just as he said that, a hesitant look appeared on his face.

Alex frowned, he asked, "What? Is there a problem?"

Seeing Alex's face, Ben hurriedly said, "N-no, Boss, it's just, I don't really know why Don decided to attack today."

Raising an eyebrow, Alex said, "Hmm? Explain it to me."

Scratching his head, Ben said, "Actually, Boss, when I arrived back at the headquarters, Don just called me to report to him."

"Then I honestly told him most of the things that happened when we encountered you."

"After that, he dismissed me without saying anything."

"Then suddenly, this afternoon, Don gathered everyone up and told us that we will be avenging our dead brothers, Jon and Robert."

After he finished talking, Ben peeked at Alex's face to see his reaction.

He saw that Alex had a thoughtful look on his face as if pondering about what he just said.

After a while, Alex stopped thinking and said, "Okay, I got it."

"I will just ask Don directly later."

Alex ended the topic and turned his attention back to the building.

Alex said, "Well then, it's about time for me to start placing the furniture!"

Turning his eyes back to Ben, Alex said, "You should go and help Don advertise the restaurant."

"Okay, Boss!"

After saying that, Ben left the restaurant.

Seeing that he's finally alone, Alex opened the Dungeon Menu.

[Dungeon Menu]

[Name: Lucky Dungeon]

[Level: LV1(+)]

[Owner: Zero]

[Dungeon Skills: Dungeon Monitor, Inspect, Dungeon Portal.]

[Dungeon Points: 17]

…

Seeing the plus sign beside the dungeon level, Alex smiled.

"I finally have enough points to level up the dungeon."

"Letting them enter inside the restaurant was really the right thing to do!"

Unlike human and monster's level that needs experience points, what dungeons need to level up is dungeon points.

That is why Alex let Don and the thugs stepped inside earlier instead of dealing with them directly.

Leveling up a dungeon has various benefits.

Such as increasing the size of the dungeon, giving blessings to the dungeon master, unlocking new skills, etc.

Anyway, since Alex has sufficient points now, he didn't hesitate to level up the dungeon.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, your dungeon 'Lucky Dungeon' leveled up to level 2!]

['Lucky Dungeon' has been strengthened.]

[Dungeon Master 'Zero' has been strengthened.]

[Your dungeon acquired the skill 'Reconstruction'!]

[You dungeon acquired the skill 'Monster Summon'!]

…

Seeing the multiple notifications, a smile crept up Alex's lips.

At the same time, he felt a warm energy coming out of the dungeon core in his body.

Then it started coursing through his whole body, making Alex feel comfortable as if he's in a sauna.

"Ahh~"

Unknowingly, a small sound escaped from his mouth.

Immediately, Alex snapped out of it and looked around him.

Seeing that he's still alone, he was relieved.

He turned back his attention to the notification and said, "Was that warm energy from leveling up the dungeon?"

"It says that it strengthened me, I wonder if I can see it in my stats."

Curiously, Alex opened his character to look at his status.

But when he saw it, his jaw dropped to the ground.

[Name: Zero]

[Class: Dungeon Master]

[Level: 17]

[Talent: Fortune's Embodiment]

[Health: 6060/6060]

[Mana: 5260/5260]

[Strength: 500] | [Constitution: 500] | [Agility: 500] | [Intelligence: 500] | [Charisma: 500]

[Free Attributes: 0]

[Skill Points: 84]

[Skills: Sacrifice (U), Monster Manipulation (A), Lord's Sanctuary (A), Fireball (D), Earth Spike (D), Wind Blade (D), Freeze (D), Water Ball (D), Stealth (D), Concealment (A)]

…

Alex was shocked to see that all of his attributes suddenly increased by 200 points each!

"Leveling up the dungeon once already brought me this much benefit?!"

Alex didn't expect that the strengthening of the level up was such an amazing thing!

Seeing just how overpowered his stats are, Alex said, "Since my stats have already reached 500 points each, is it possible for me to defeat enemies that have gone through advancement now?"

Thinking of that, Alex felt his blood boil.

For some reason, he wants to try out his strength and see just far is his limit now.

Taking a deep breath, Alex suppressed his excitement.

"I should do that next time. For now, I still have to finish fixing the restaurant so people start gathering here then I can earn more points."

After saying that, Alex looked back at the other notifications and saw the new skills the dungeon acquired.

When his eyes fell into the skill [Reconstruction], Alex smiled and said, "This skill came just at the perfect time!"

With that said, Alex looked back at the old interior of the building.

Then he said, "It's about time to make this place worthy of becoming the best restaurant in the whole town!"
