Chapter 5: Seigfried’s Past, And i can Buy WHAT?

I was shocked... But decided it couldn't hurt to ask... and make an offer.

"Umm. Sir Seigfried? Can we speak, alone?"

"Very well. This seems like it may be important."

He followed me to the core room... and I told him what I saw. His face took on a sorrowful look.

"Thats... a long story. Seventy years ago, just after my Friend Passed away, and Ascended to become a goddess... War broke out with the Demon nation. The homeland of the Orcs, they got caught in the crossfire... I was ordered to Destroy the support for A building, supposedly filled with Rebel Forces... I was lied to. One of the Kings Generals was a racist, and gave false information... I brought a building down on Innocent Refugees. I killed that man, but still felt the blood on my hands. I STILL feel blood on my hands.

As for the Rape... That was entirely The fault of the victims Friend. After the war, Only forty years ago now... A young Demon girl and her Friend were visiting... the Girl was a Succubus, but a virgin, her friend is whats known as an Agrae, A Lust Fairy. Her name was Vi. The victim was Rosamia. The stupid Fairy Used her magic dust, an extremely potent drug, on Rosamia... who then, drugged Into instinctive action, Turned on her Succubus abilities at full force. Poor girl ended up at the center of a pile of Mindless guardsmen... Including me. The Agrae was Executed for her actions, And I later found out that the girl was a demon princess, And also The mother of My youngest Child, who I have only met once... he is definitely mine, completely bald on top... With the strong arms... It would be obvious even if it weren't for The System information...  I curse Everyday the effectiveness of that Fairy, Vi the Agrae. But what's done cannot be Undone."

"Okay. That clears that up. Now my question. Seigfried, when you die, odds are you will return as a monster... Mindless and vile. But apparently, I can help with that."

"How?"

"Swear an oath of service to me. Then, when your time comes... Your soul will come here. And you will be reborn from my Crystal... Memories and skills intact. And I'll be able to direct your monstrification. What do you say?"

"So... become a random mindless monster, likely undead... or Become a Servant of this dungeon, And Still become a monster, just still sane? Is that even a choice? Sigh... Here I was hoping to move on after I die."

"Then kneel, place a hand on the Core, and recite your oath. Anything will do."

He did as I asked... then Spoke.

"I, Seigfried the Arch-knight, Strongest Lancer in the kingdom, called the Humanoid Devil... Swear my Arms as weapon and body as Shield to this dungeon, and its master Sei. For As long as I Am of Service."

A light blazed... and A symbol appeared on his arm. It looked like Amber Eyes, Crying. He took one look at it and smiled. 

"So. This dungeon Represents her Sorrow. Fitting, considering its placement."

"Wait, I can buy WHAT?"

The available skills were Amazing. I knew I could upgrade Set Summons, but to be able to do so for myself? It didn't occur to me to check. 

[Skills: Translation. Telepathy. Lightning Magic lv1. Healing Magic lv1. Cooking lv1. Dismantling lv1. Haggling lv1. Gods eye lv1.]

That's all I could afford with the few GP I had left... well... I could have afforded a bit more but... I made Jeli. A Queen Slime. Unlocked by having A king slime and A dungeon with 4 or more rooms, and Receiving the fealty of an outsider. Sorbet and Jeli Instantly bonded, and I gained a new room type, that would be my next goal. Slimes Chamber: A breeding Ground for slimes, it's a glowing Pool of acid. King and Queen slimes can use this to rarely produce special Slime Variants, like the Goddess-Slime, an S-rank monster. 

So I learned monsters in my dungeon can breed, And Those offspring can be higher ranked... I wonder what Iron Guardians And Arachne need to breed...

Wait. When Alice Evolves she'll be able to... no! I'm too small and female to be a father!

[Elsewhere]

While Sei was dealing with that small crisis, three siblings were in a very bad mood. Because of the girl with them.

"Seriously Sigrun! Why did you call the Wyverns Ugly? You know how Vain they are!"

"Now we have to walk. Ah well, at least They didn't drop us IN the mountains. It's not as bad as it could be, hope."

"Robin is Right, Hope. While I Agree, Sigrun DID do a stupid thing, at least we managed to talk them out of eating her."

"Dear Mother, this girl... I will be telling Sirius, when we get back. See how the kings Wyvern Knight captain feels about his daughter insulting his mount and her sisters. Vashra was about to eat you. To EAT YOU!"

"Please don't tell dad! He'll be so mad at me!"

"Then Reflect on your actions, and immediately apologize to those four when we return. Understood?"

"Yes... mom."

"THATS COMMANDER WHEN WE ARE IN THE FIELD!"

'YES COMMANDER HOPE!"

"Why did I marry Seigfried's son? Why didn't I go for a Royal, like you did? Tell me, Faith, why? She's as bullheaded as Her Grandfather and as Stubborn as her father."

"Qualities you quite liked when the boy wouldn't stop trying to Woo you, if I recall... And marrying the kings Nephew is BARELY marrying a Royal. Sigrun Is fourteen... Do you recall how foolish WE were at that age? Not like our dear brother, with his Soulmate and perfect temper."

"Hey, leave Lucina out of this. She has nothing to do with Sigrun's foolishness. My Daughter however... sigh... Tanya is a handful. The two are usually partners in crime."

"Remember the Warehouse incident? With the Fire Slimes?"

"Ugh... don't remind me! The east warehouses are STILL scorched."

"AAND they've forgotten I exist. Well, mom isn't yelling anymore, at least..."

The three siblings, And The young girl, Were having some minor issues, but continued onward toward the Sulea Ruins, and the Dungeon.
