Dungeon of Niflheim

331 Chapter 331: Luck of the draw

‘Haaaaaaaa, Frost it’s necessary all these costs are necessary just push through.’ Frost sighed as he looked at the rapidly increasing cost of his shopping cart. Wavering slightly with every addition.

“Alright let’s put aside 2500DP for emergencies and tonight’s festivities, that leaves 28,000 for monsters.” With the 2 new floors and finished 3rd floor he had a lot of space to fill.

“Individual purchases can wait; I’ll get spawners first. One E-rank frost lizard spawner on the 4th floor’s second section, 12,000DP. Another frost dwarf spawner for the 4th floor’s mines, 12,000DP and finally since I like them so much let’s get another frost goblin spawner for the 3rd floor, 3000DP.” Though they were the weakest caste of monsters and provided little in terms of materials they followed orders well and were very cost efficient. Frost couldn’t resist buying another one, making for 3 frost goblins spawners in total.

“......” Frost tapped the arm of sofa in contemplation, he still had 1000DP left to spend and didn’t know how. His eyes inadvertently drifted over to the gacha section on the menu, the 1000DP cost screaming out to him. He licked his lips before clicking on a 1000DP gacha roll. “Might as well considering I have exactly 1000DP left.” A total coincidence obviously not by design.

Thus, Frost within the span of a few minutes cut his whopping original 104,580DP down to a paltry 2500. All he needed to do now was click confirm and it would be gone. His finger hovered over the icon moving towards it at a snail’s pace, each millimetre causing his throat to constrict.

Suddenly without him noticing an enchanting smell drifted over from behind him and an even more enchanting feeling pressed against his back causing him to inadvertently flinch and click the confirm button.

Maya who had teasingly snuck up behind her young master, wrapping her arms around his neck and shoving her bountiful chest against his back blew lightly in her partner’s ear. “There we go not so hard is it?” She smiled charmingly.

Frost stiffly craned his neck around to look at his beautiful girlfriend, his heart swiftly lurching at the thought of all that DP vanishing because of her interruption. But that worry was erased the moment he saw her smile.

“Well, if you continue to press those large twins of yours against my back I’m sure it’ll get hard.” He flirted suggestively causing her to quickly blush and back away, regretfully removing that heavenly feeling from his back.

.....

“I think I preferred it when I was the one doing all the teasing hmph!” Maya pouted cutely but a smile was evident on her face, very much enjoying Frost’s newfound confidence. Her teasing was cute and in many cases funny, Frost’s however was just full blown devastating, way too seductive.

“I’m sure you did, but now that I’ve got a taste for it I don’t think I’m ever going to stop, you’re just so cute when you’re embarrassed.” Frost gazed at Maya, his eyes full of affection causing her blush to deepen and her smile to widen. She playfully punched his arm as if admitting defeat. Which caused Frost to momentarily laugh before he was suddenly affected by his very large purchase.

Swaths of divine energy flooded through his body, pressuring it as though he was suffering from enhanced gravity. His body heated up several degrees internally as it struggled to contain the sudden release of the super heavy and dense power that was divine energy. Thankfully the feeling passed after several seconds but those several seconds where enough to make Frost feel a mixture of fear and respect. Such power was dormant within his body yet just a small amount could easily crush him, divine energy truly was unfathomable.

The energy entered the core bringing it to life and as it got to work, outside of the private space the dungeon shook with incredible force. Many monsters and adventurers fell to the ground unable to keep their balance through the quaking.

The adventurers held a mixture of fear and greed in their eyes, wondering if this was another period of growth. Such an outcome meant money but also danger. Was it caused by the large amount of high ranking adventurers dying within? Or perhaps a sign that the monster stampede’s influence had reached here?

Many once the quaking finally stopped made their way to the exit, not willing to risk the danger until they knew more whereas others continued to delve not caring that it would be their doom.

Frost didn’t faint but his body did feel a bit sore after all that divine energy. He used it to his advantage, tricking Maya into giving him a lap pillow so he could recover.

Nanna, Loki and Kiba who had arrived with her were lying against one another, completely exhausted from their workout yet each of them displayed big smiles. Nanna and Loki hugged their weapons against their chests dearly while Kiba could feel his potential that had started to dwindle in Kranor come back to life, and with a vengeance at that. Maya particularly focused her attention on training her young master’s new mount, summoning powerful ice golem monsters for him to pit his strength against.

“So big spender what did you buy?” Maya asked while stroking Frost’s long hair.

“New floors, room expansions, mines, spawners and also a gacha draw, practically cleaning out my entire DP reserves.” Frost spoke with pride, enjoying the soft feeling on the back of his neck and Maya’s soothing touch. Though he spent a massive amount of DP it was all on good purchases thus there’d be no buyer’s remorse.

To give a more detailed explanation Frost brought up the dungeon map, expanding it for everyone to see. “We now have five floors in the dungeon with the first four being fully outfitted with 1 star environments and medium sized sections, effectively doubling our previous size. On the fourth floor which has glacial steppe for its environment I’ve added two mine rooms like on the first floor. One is another iron mine while the second is a 2 star glacial mine so as to provide a variety in materials. I’ve thus added a second frost dwarf spawner in the glacial mine room, serving to provide the workforce.” Frost highlighted the fourth floor, pointing out where he placed everything.

“I’ve also arranged for an E-rank frost lizard spawner to be placed in the second section of the floor. While exploring the Glacial mountains I came across them in the [beginner’s ice magic] monster lair and found out that they’re very lucrative in terms of materials, making for perfect incentives.” Frost then brought up the third floor, that was previously bare and unexpanded “The third floor is made up of winter forests since that environment has proved to be very useful in all our battles plus it provides not only lumber but also patches of red and blue dwindle, very multipurpose. And since I’m a sucker for frost goblins I’ve added another spawner, making for three in total. The dwarves should be able to establish a fortified glade around it for protection as well as outfit the entire floor with their bunkers.” Frost was very proud of the work his frost dwarves had done in the first floor’s winter forest and was looking forward to it being duplicated across the 3rd floor.

“After that I only had 1000DP left to spend so I bought a gacha draw.” Frost then showed a mischievous smile as he looked up at his partner’s face. “Maya how about a kiss for good luck?”

Maya hands stopped stroking through his long hair before she leaned over and planted a peck on his forehead, a bit too embarrassed to do much more in front of Nanna and Loki.

It wasn’t what he was expecting but it still brought a smile to his face, besides he got a heavenly image as she leaned over, his lucks stats should have been raised through the roof.

“Oh yes I’m feeling very lucky now hehehehe.” He laughed lightly causing Maya to blush.

Frost then brought up the gacha system in the dungeon menu, it showed an image of a question mark hanging over treasure chests. The barest looking chest signified the 1000DP gacha whereas a luxurious gold and jewel encrusted chest signified the 100,000DP gacha. A number one could be seen under the 1000DP chest, signifying that he had one drawing attempt.

“Here goes nothing.” He pulled down a lever icon causing the 1000DP chest to blur and spin, the question mark morphing rapidly into different possibilities. The majority of the items available within this chest were set to be worth less than 1000DP but if one was lucky they could get someone worthy 10,000DP or more.

Frost remained lying on Maya’s lap, looking like the epitome of a lavish lifestyle, that would have an untold number of men wish death upon him. However, his heart was nervous, and his fists were clenched in anticipation, hoping for a good draw. Maya was in a similar position, her eyes were glued to the menu, taking in the rapid changes between items. Whereas Nanna, Loki and Kiba watched on with bated breath, their fingers crossed, each hoping for different things.

The gacha system could throw out anything; Food, monsters, weapons, armour, equipment, free environments, magic books anything you could think of it could be held within. Your luck being the only thing that determines what that thing was.
