Goddess Wives x Eternal Dungeon-Chapter 12 - : $100,000

The dream of meeting my grandparents ended quickly as the same old dungeon floor greeted me.

However, a sense of deja vu did occur.

"When did I fall to the floor?"

[You fell]

"How?"

[Tripped]

"..."

[...]

I didn't want to bother with this fairy, so I just stretched my limbs, feeling the pleasant crack of my shoulders, back and neck before looking into the now bright tunnel.

"Shall we kill all the rat's for more money?"

[Mm]

The fairy seemed happy with that idea and hopped on my shoulder—I couldn't help but feel it was even softer than before, and her scent was quite pleasant.

Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta!

My feet felt so light as I dashed through the dungeon, was the change in my agility that reached a whole 14 points?

Yet it was not just my speed but the power and stamina of my muscles that had improved as they tensed and contracted, which helped my body thunder across the long dungeon path leading to the other Ratmen.

I could see better, and my mind felt clearer and more focused.

The flow of magic in my body that felt like slimy jelly before felt something different it was like it diffused in my blood, lost its strange foreign feeling, and became part of my body... somehow the feeling is hard to explain...

The closest was when you go for a piss, and it just flows naturally—now it formed a smooth flow like water in a stream moving as my mind willed before my thoughts even surfaced.

Subconsciously? Was that the word?

Yet, unlike before—I could feel the flames of my Wolf's fist forming rapidly without much effort.

"Ah... I love fairies, after all."

[Eh!?]

The little fairy on my shoulder was stunned as I gently stroked her silky blonde hair, a smile on my face as we rushed through the tunnels towards the rats.

Da-Da-Da-Da-Da!

My feet began to dig further into the ground, a strange power filling them. As my muscles bulged, the wind brushing against my face felt amazing as the Ratment rapidly approached me, sprinting so fast that I could barely breathe.

Woosh!

I leapt into the air, almost smashing against the ceiling from the height—now both fists pulled back, covering in flame, ready to attack the group of 6 Ratmen. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"What?!"

They turned to face me, confusion on their faces.

It was understandable, though, as I came out of the shadow of the dungeon, my fists completely engulfed in flames.

Crack!

"Flaming Wolf Fist!" I was unsure why my voice rang, but I always wanted to imitate my favourite Y warriors in the only anime I watched, Serpent Ball Y.

Before I smashed it straight into their chest, my body almost teleported seven times to hit them all, causing me to feel nauseous as all six flew away.

-> Defeated Ratman A

"Crap gotta get 'em' again!"

I jumped after them and landed with a THUD on one of them.

"Grugh!"

It looked like a human man with the upper body of a rat, grey furry skin and four arms, two holding weapons and two trying to block me—yet the creature did not budge as I punched him multiple times in the chest, each blow sent ripples in the air, and his skin creaked under the strain of my power.

"Chirp!"

-> Defeated Ratman B

[ABOVE!]

I heard a cry above me, and only four remained as my right arm moved by instinct from the voice of Eternia, brilliant flames protecting my arm.

As a blur of a white shot at me, I screamed, "Flaming Wolf Fist!"

"Gyaaaaargh!"

A hole burst open in its chest and crashed into the ground before me.

-> Defeated Ratman C

The beast exploded into many chunks of meat as I crushed its life like the earlier enemy.

-> Defeated Ratman D

-> Defeated Ratman E

-> Defeated Ratman F

"Nooo..."

I stood there, shaking from the adrenaline of how exciting the battle had been—this time, I wasn't weak or dizzy, and the MP left was more than 15 and continued to recover each moment.

I glanced at my arm, which was slightly pinker than usual, and my eye twinged in pain from the events.

I took a few moments to collect myself, breathing as I surveyed the three pieces of Ratman on the ground, eyes locked on one of them—he wore a necklace around his neck containing a red crystal.

[Gained Ruby Necklace]

[Gained 10 Gold]

[Gained Rat Meat]

"Phew..."

"Let's clear this level and head to the shop."

[...]

[Good job]

"Thanks for the shout—you saved my life."

Like this, I carried the fairy on my shoulder, trying to see if her dress would reveal her underwear the more I jumped around.

There was only one more group of Ratmen in the end, and they didn't give a cool necklace but only gold...

Still, it added to the total as I entered the portal to complete the second floor filled with high hopes.

-> Gained Title: Ratman's Bane!

"1000 GOLD!?" My shout was loud and caused the pretty item shop lady to gasp; for some reason, she looked the same, but her hair was bright blue instead of blonde this time, and she looked at me with a gentle smile.

It felt like she was treating me like a child or a cute animal which felt strange...

I was used to being seen as a mere rat or ugly bastard, after all...

"Are you sure you wish to sell it still? It could be a really rare item?" The item shop lady asked me.

Honestly, I knew in novels and games that items like this might turn out to be a super rare and amazing trinket or weapon one day.

But...

I only had one mother, enough to help her live without worrying about debt for at least 3 months...

Not worrying about the interest or even being able to pay extra off...

How could I not repay her first?

I thought that if it were so rare, I would massacre the Ratmen until it dropped again rather than be stingy now and unable to give my mother anything...

"I'll sell."

"Really!?"

"Yep!"

[Mothercon...]

It was true, but why should I care? There is no blood between us—I could get her pregnant and marry her if I wanted to.

So fuck society! As long as the mother and sister are happy, all is fine...

Ah... But Aki hates me...

[Don't Mind!]

In the end, I sold the ruby necklace... It felt rushed, but the time was getting late even with it moving slower in real life.

"I don't want them to worry... But what about my face and the changes..."

Most games and novels would also have the guy chat up the superior being who manages the item store...

But I know my level.

[Don't worry; those will only show in the real world over time...]

[Usually, big changes will take several weeks...]

"So they won't notice for a while?"

[They will notice your confidence and muscles but not your face]

"Is the money legit?"

[...]

"Well?"

Fraud was my biggest worry—what if the taxman somehow steals all this money because I can not prove where I got it from?

[It's fine—the money will be deemed already tax paid. The dungeons are free service for all those who enter. So feel free to use the money however you wish.]

That was a big load off my mind...

"Now then... I guess it's time to leave..."

"Ahem..."

A few moments passed by...

[...]

"..."

Sadly I needed to ask an important question to the fairy overlord—her cold eyes looked at me like garbage...

So I flicked her tits and then pushed her off my shoulder!

"How do I leave again?"

In hindsight, I should have asked her before doing that.
