Are we there yet?

  Almost.

  We walked through the desert for 5 minutes.

  Are we there yet?

  Almost, just a little bit more.

  We walked for 15 minutes.

  Are we…

  Hmm that’s strange it’s supposed to be here. Did they move it?

  Who would move a dungeon?

  That is a very good question.

  We looked around for a bit, but my dungeon was nowhere to be found.

  This is a declaration of war they can’t just steal my dungeon!

  Are we in the correct desert?

  Kaledon only has 1 desert…

  Are we on the correct piece of… sand?

  Look there are even traces of it being here. Who would want to dig a hole this big?

  We looked at a big hole in the sand.

  Someone with a lot of patience?

  Ohh look a lamp! Maybe it has a genie and we get free wishes!

  Raishin ran at a lamp stuck in the sand.

  Looks like a trap.

  Come on Raishin there is no way genies exist.

  Raishin rubbed on the lamp and something came out of it.

  What the?

  I see, items can also be a power spot for spirits. This one is weak though.

  But if it’s a spirit, isn’t it supposed to be invisible to us?

  I think they can show themselves under specific circumstances.

  A blue-green genie appeared from the lamp, except it was a spirit. “I am the genie of the lamp! I will grant each of you 1 wish!”

  Nice try dude, I can see that you’re a spirit.

  “Hey man, cut a spirit some slack. It’s the popular thing here in the desert.”

  Quite the sincere spirit.

  Ooh ooh! I wish for infinite wishes!

  “I’m sorry that I can’t do.”

  What a shitty genie.

  “Whoa! Come on you know the rules, no wishing for more wishes or more genies! And I’m just a medium spirit, my power is limited.”

  Hmm, how about! I wish that every chick has D-cup or bi…

  I pounced on Raishin and shut him up.

  How about you come up with a normal wish. Aren’t you perpetually broke?

  Oh right! I wish I was rich!

  “Uhhm what is the currency that you use?”

  Uhh gold?

  The genie put on some glasses and looked at a list. “Very well! Done!” A pile of golden coins appeared around Raishin.

  Yes! Finally! I’m rich!

  How are you going to carry it?

  Uhh Agnis?

  How about we go buy you a dimensional box to store it in. I will hold on to it until then.

  Thanks!

  Hey genie do you know…

  “So, who’s wish is next?”

  I wish to triple my current reading speed.

  “Eh? Isn’t that quite boring? How about…”

  I wish to triple my reading speed!

  Nerd.

  “Very well, then, done!” Greg gestured for me to hand him a book. He got one and flipped through the pages.

  Amazing! Much appreciated!

  “Now fellow spirit, what do you wish for?”

  Can I ask you a question first because you’re probably going to disappear after I make my wish.

  “Uh sure.”

  Have you seen a dungeon, about ye high and uhh dungeon looking?

  Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

  The scam genie shook his head. “I’m sorry, I fell off a caravan only yesterday, this is how it was when I fell down the hole.”

  Ah, then I wish that all my problems are solved!

  “Uhh, I can’t do that, sorry, it seems your problems are quite… big.”

  Then I wish that all my enemies and possible enemies are dead!

  “Ehhm your enemies seem quite… strong. I can’t do that either.”

  Then what can you do!

  “I can grant you unmeasurable wealth like your friend here!”

  Don’t need, already have.

  “Well, I can grant you fame!”

  Uhh, I already am kinda famous.

  “Uh, well that’s awkward. How about power!”

  I recently torched half a country. I think I’m fine on that.

  “Uhm how about women?”

  I’ll pass on that one.

  “Then what do you want!”

  I just told you! I want all my problems to disappear!

  “How about something I can do?”

  Like what?

  “Uhh. I don’t know. How about this! I’ll give you 2 wishes if you keep things simple! You’re making me look bad here.”

  Hey why does he get two wishes!

  Because giving you 2 wishes would be a very bad idea.

  Ugh, fine 2 simple wishes then. I want a year’s worth of fresh salmon!

  “Done!” A mountain of freshly caught salmon appeared, and I stored them in my dimensional pocket before they hit the sand. No sand on my salmon!

  Ok I was wrong, maybe you’re not so shitty after all, now for my second wish… I want the magic skill [Phoenix Rebirth].

  “Huh why would you want something useless as that? Only Phoenixes can use it.”

  It’s hard to make. Can you do that?

  “Yeah, sure whatever, it’s quite useless unless you’re a phoenix. What a weirdo.” I made the magic circle of the newly acquired skill appear. It was highly inefficient, but I could work with it.

  Thanks!

  “And with this, my power spot is recharged! Can you toss my lamp on another heap of treasure somewhere? I would greatly appreciate it!” The genie made a stupid pose adn disappeared back into his lamp.

  What a weirdo.

  What are you planning with that skill, Agnis?

  Hmm? Just some tweaking. I have an idea, but I have no clue on how it works until now. Well I still don’t know as it has a lot of exotic runes, but I will figure it out. This is a decent basis.

  As long as it can keep you alive.

  Well it will take a while to figure out so I hope I can stay alive until I do yeah.

  So, what now?

  Let’s get you a dimensional box. And Raishin I swear, if you lose it, not only will I kick your ass I will also have you retrieve it unassisted. These things are useful and important.

  Aye sir!

  I gave up on looking for the dungeon, and we headed to the nearest village. It was quite close because it had been built as a recharge station for the people that wanted to challenge the dungeon.

  Hey isn’t that your dungeon?

  Those lunatics! Did they have to move my dungeon to their village?

  It seems more efficient like that.

  Greg, can you buy the dimensional box for him? Here’s 5 gold. I’m going to see what other things those lunatics did. Very well, let’s go Raishin.

  I went to the dungeon but everything seemed fine, besides that they had moved it somehow. I covered myself in illusions and slipped into the dungeon. I went to the last floor and threw the lamp of the genie on the pile of treasure. I collected the recordings and looked at how a group of over 30 people tried to tackle the Event Horizon prison but they all got destroyed by gravity, time dilation and more importantly, Cygnus.

  Cygnus had given a god a run for his money so this won’t be easy for them. It actually makes me think that I was lucky to escape alive from him. Giving a god a good beating is quite impressive. The fun part is that Geminga is coming. They are quite screwed when he arrives. I did some updates on the dungeon and made several tweaks. I grinned and left the dungeon.

  Look it’s pretty!

  Raishin was holding his dimensional box up in the air like it was some sacred treasure.

  You do know that by doing that, you will become a target for thieves, right? Those dimensional boxes sell quite well.

  Mine!

  He now hugged it as a mother protecting her child from danger.

  Let’s get out of this dusty place, have Raishin put his stuff in the dimensional box, and we will then watch some funny videos of parties failing.

  I brought my buddies to Texiha, and we got an AA room with a big screen. I first dumped all of Raishin’s stuff into his dimensional box.

  Wow I always wanted my own dimensional pocket!

  Not because it’s a dimensional box means that you shouldn’t keep it tidy. It can still be difficult to find things if you don’t keep it neat. But! Let’s watch these!

  Greg hooked up the recording crystals to the screen in the AA room, and we started to watch these parties fail while enjoying snacks.

  Wow they are incompetent indeed.

  Why are they so weak?

  Raishin and Greg were merciless. The first recording of a party was quite... sad. They couldn’t beat Molerock in rapping or breakdancing. They didn’t beat 1 boss. Even though the first floor was well documented by now.

  We watched many more. A lot were funny because even though they knew what to do, they still made blunders. I saw Greg’s respect for adventurers crashing down into nothingness.

  I remember you saying that you had a talk to the vice president about the current skill level of the adventurers.

  Yeh. I always knew it was bad but this is…

  Quite pathetic if you ask me.

  Most of them aren’t even humans! They have no excuse!

  We spent the rest of the night binging. Only 3 teams had made it to floor 2. The third party was the party I saw earlier today.

  I guess this is proof that the beginning of our life down here could have ended up vastly different if we were human.

  Yeah, I love you guys! We can beat anything!

  Let’s finish this one and then go to bed.?
