"What makes you different?" asked Halia as we followed the river south.
"Different?" I asked, glancing at the warrior. Her big boobs jiggled in her tal bikini.
"Yes. From the other dungeon builders. They all are evil."
"Are they?" I considered that. Fuegin hadn't attacked . He had co and introduced himself and asked so big questions. Like why were we brought here? I really didn't know.
"Of course."
"It makes wonder what being a dungeon builder does to a person. We're not from this world. We co from a completely different place. A lot of us probably never had any real power. We're young n, barely with any responsibilities, and we're thrust into this place where we get magic. Sexy monster girls that want to fuck us."
"And sexy succubus-sisters," Garnet added.
"That goes under monster girls," I said, grinning at her. "It's a rush. You're playing god when you build your dungeon. What does that do to a person?"
"What did it do to you?" Halia asked.
I blinked. "It made feel... responsible. I was suddenly thrust with these monster girls to protect. Lana Fulmine and my will o' wisps. Plus Souleen, the heart of the Void Crystal. I had to protect her. I was barely even figuring things out when I was attacked by Mthunzi. He battered through my defenses and reached my room. I had to fight for the first ti.
"I won. Barely."
"Yes, you dungeon builders are aggressive like that. Look at you. You're about to attack one."
"True." I glanced down the trail. "The one we're about to face has two elents. Water or Life was his original. He killed another dungeon builder to advance. That's the thing, isn't it? The ones who are willing to be aggressive are the ones who gain power. How many dungeon builders were like ? Who didn't want to fight? Didn't want to do anything but exist and were killed. And what does that do to the ones who survive? Who don't want to die? It has to warp you. There's a part of that will do anything to protect what I got." I swallowed. "Part of wonders if I'm doing this not to rescue those girls but to destroy a rival who could hurt ."
Halia stared at for so ti. "You do seem to want to help. You tried to capture ."
"I felt bad." I sighed. "Adventurers died in my dungeon before your party. You all are just trying to protect your world, and here I am a threat to it. Sohow. I don't even really know how."
"You devour mana," she said. "It's bad."
"Why?"
Halia opened her mouth and then frowned. "I really don't know. They say it causes problems, but it's always vague. That's why we have to put you down. There are places in this world ruled by powerful dungeon builders. n who have most if not all the runes. Who rule entire kingdoms. Places of fear where words hold sway. Like the tyrant who killed my father!"
I sighed. "And that's the real thing. Power corrupts. How many sent here even consider the harm they're doing. What if they don't think this is real. It almost feels like a video ga. So base builder RPG or RTS ga or sothing."
"Ar tee ess? Video ga? Ar pee gee? What are these?"
"Things from my world."
"Things Leo spent too much ti playing, and not enough ti showering in attention," Garnet said.
"I'm just saying. What if they don't even think of this place as real. As this being anything more than a ga. What does that do to your outlook? Your view on what you can or can't do in this world? It has to skew it. So, no, I don't think dungeon builders are inherently evil. There's just a lot of pressures that select them towards doing bad things.
"It's why I have to make a stand. Show people I'm different. I want to make sothing peaceful. I want people to be happy and live their lives and don't have to worry about oozes or satyrs or other monster girls raiding their villages."
Halia nodded. She seed convinced. "I'll help you with this, Leo. You are not the man I thought you were."
I smiled at her. "Thanks. That actually ans a lot."
"He is a good man," Lana said. "I know. I spent my life in the cesspit that is Hollywood. I'm glad Leo brought into this world."
", too. I'm my big bro's number one fan," Garnet said. "It would be so boring without him."
"I'm still alive in the other world," I pointed out.
"Yeah, in a boring coma." She puffed out her cheeks. "Here I get to make love to you. It's so wonderful." She paused. "I wonder if I'm in a coma."
"Am I?" asked Lana Fulmine. "Did you hear any news about ?"
