43 Scouting Results
| DAY 33 |
I woke up today barely being able to breath, as Brontes and Nesiphae big bodies were squishing from both sides. If it wasn't for my high Defense stat, I would be minced at by now.
"I need a bigger bed… Five people sleeping inside is barely the limit for this bed…"
When I woke up I stealthy went to my private bathroom and took a nice and warm bath, while doing this I decided to finally spend my Skill Points on my Class Skill Tree.
When I opened the class nu, I had 35 Skill Points left to use, I rember being around level 24 when I exchanged so points for two passives, which granted 7 Strength and 15 HP. So when I hit max level (50) I already had 25 more Skill Points, because I get one per level. The question is, where did these 10 extra points ca from?
"Perhaps evolution grants extra Skill Points? It's the only option I can imagine… Ayways, even 35 points is not enough to obtain every skill in the Troll Warrior class… But it's not like I need them, they seem kind of underwhelming…"
I browsed through the High Troll Warrior skills and exchanged the ones I thought were the most interesting ones.
I exchanged the 3 Strength and Defense stat boost for 15 Points.
| YOU HAVE EXCHANGED 15 SP |
| YOU GAINED 3 STRENTH AND DEFENSE PERMANENTLY |
Fluosh!
Every ti I exchange one of these stat boosting skills, I feel as my whole body is filled with a strange feeling, as if my own cells multiplied multiple tis. Sothing completely different as obtaining skills from eating monsters, which also boost my stats passively, however these aren't shown in the Status Window, only so titles.
With the remaining 20 SP, I exchanged the skill | STRENGTH AND DEFENSE ENHANCENT |, which seed to be the strongest one. With my 5 remaining points I wasn't able to exchange anything.
| YOU HAVE EXCHANGED 15 SP |
| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: STRENGTH AND DEFENSE ENHANCENT |
This new buffing skills was nothing like the buffs I obtain from monsters, being almost on par with my strongest buffing skills.
"So, this is the power of the system, skills granted by it are way stronger than the natural monster skills, even when fused, my strongest buff its just a bit stronger than this buff. It also consus a very low amount of Stamina, only asking for 50 points and lasting an entire hour"
Just by this skill alone, I completely changed my vision over the class skills, wanting to collect them all.
While browsing through the class window, I found a small button at the side of my class na.
| SUB CLASS SLOT HAS BEEN UNLOCKED |
"Sub class?"
| CHOOSE SUBCLASS? THIS WILL REDIRECT YOU TO THE SUBCLASS SELECTION SCREEN |

"Yes!"

"Oooh?! These classes are different than the last ones! All these classes are directed towards utility and crafting, not fighting. Interesting…"
While I enjoyed the warm bath, I looked over the class skills.
The cooking classes had unique skills that granted extra bonuses when preparing food, giving them extra bonus stats when eating them, there was also Cooking Affinity and Cooking Proficiency on it. These skills can make anyone a chef, even if it's a complete ignorant on any type of cooking like myself. I barely know how to make a simple soup.
There were also the Alchemist and Blacksmith subclass, which were pretty much like Kusuri and Kajiya, Alchemist granted Synthesis Affinity and Proficiency, while also increasing the max daily amount of Synthesis that you can do every da-
"W-Wait a second! Max amount of Synthesis every day?! With this I can fuse more than 5 skills per day! Not matter what the other classes offer, I will choose Alchemist!"
However, I didn't choose the novice Alchemist. I checked the Troll Witch Alchemist and the rfolk Aquarian Alchemist.
Troll Witch Alchemist has a better proficiency over making potions of every type, and had up to 20 extra Synthesis fusions per day.
rfolk Aquarian Alchemist has a better proficiency over crafting beautiful accessories, being closer to a Blacksmith, it has up to 20 extra Synthesis fusions per day too.
"A tough choice, what should I specially in? Potions or Accessories?"
My split minds tried to give so advice.
"I think that rfolk Aquarian Alchemist is better, you can always rely on Kusuri for potions, while accessories are trickier to make, and they could also grant you extra skills that you may not have"
"I agree, rfolk is the way to go, Master! Imagine a whole book of recipes for any skill you want, and it only needs so materials to create? Isn't that kind of broken? Hehehe!"
"GAAH! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CHOOSE! LET'S FIGHT INSTEAD! WHERE IS THAT UNDEAD ARMY?!"
"I will pretend that Angry Mind also said rfolk"
Thanks to the convincing advice from my split minds, I choose the rfolk Aquarian Alchemist.
| YOUR SUBCLASS HAS BEEN SET TO: RFOLK AQUARIAN ALCHEMIST |
| YOU HAVE GAINED 10 SUBCLASS SKILL POINTS (SSP) |
"Subclass Skill Points?"
It seems like Subclass get a different and separate skill points to use, which is good, so I don't have to decide between so many skills to choose from.
rfolk Aquarian Alchemist had the following skills:
| ALCHEMY AFFINITY (10 SSP), ALCHEMY PROFICIENCY (10 SSP), RFOLK AQUARIAN ACCESORY RECIPE BOOK (10 SSP), EXTRA DAILY SYNTHESIS 4 (10 SSP), EXTRA DAILY SYNTHESIS 6 (12 SSP), EXTRA DAILY SYNTHESIS 10 (18 SSP), AUTOMATIC SYNTHESIS (15 SSP) |
"Ooh! There they are! Extra daily Synthesis! Wait… Automatic Synthesis?"
| AUTOMATIC SYNTHESIS: Grants the ability to automatically synthetize any item or skill. Items will be automatically synthetized the mont you touch them. New skills obtained will be synthetized automatically the mont you obtain them. The order of which items and skills synthetize which each other can be adjusted on this skill command button. |
"An impressive skill! With this I can mass synthetize any item as if I were a factory! And also, automatically synthetize skills too! With this I won't have to bother over doing it every day… But it cost quite a lot of SSP, it will have to wait for now"
Using my 10 SSP, I exchanged the bonus "Extra Daily Synthesis 4".
| YOU EXCHANGED 10 SSP |
| YOU GAINED THE ABILITY TO SYNTHETIZE ITEMS OR SKILLS UP TO 9 TIS PER DAY |
"Phew, this is finally done… Huh? My bats are here…"
I sensed that my body division bats that I sent outside during the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon exploration ca back to with so good news.
I quickly finished taking my bath and put on so clothes, and imdiately went to my room window.
When I opened the window, more than 10 small bats made of red flesh entered the room and started to fly around .
"Activate skill: Colony Formation!"
Fluosh!
Suddenly, all the small bats fused with my flesh, increasing my pass by a small amount.
| YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REGAINED YOUR FLESH |
"Ah!"
When the last bat fused with my body, I felt an incredible amount of picture-like information flowing through my mind.
The shock of information made a little dizzy and forced to rest on a nearby chair.
"Ugh…"
After relaxing for a bit, I was finally able to browse through this new information.
I previously sent these flesh minions on a mission to scout the entire forest, and if possible, scout the outside are too.
According to what my bats inspected and explored, they were able to get outside this vast forest, after traveling countless kiloters. The Grand Forest seems to be separated in "layers" of denser forest; the forest gets denser the more you go outside of it.
I could resu it like this. The forest has around 5 layers, I was born at layer 1, in the total center of this place, with a very low danger level, compared to the reports of my bats. I have successfully explored up to the third layer, which was reaching the Blood Forest and the rfolk Lake. There is still two enormous layers to explore yet. And according to my bats, these two layers are infested with strong monsters, the weakest being of High King class. There are also countless small ruins which I suspect are dungeons.
On the last layer my bats were able to Appraise a ridiculously strong monster, it seed like a giant turtle, however, this one was just resting and didn't seed to have an aggressive aura. I suspect this turtle to have Overlord level at the very least. What is this turtle even doing there? I don't have a clue. And why it is not helping us? I don't have a clue either!
There was another interesting thing about the outside layer monsters, most of them had a basic animal intelligence and lacked any type of complex language. This leads to the conclusion that intelligent monsters are only born inside the first and second layer. There is further evidence as none of the Blood Monsters encountered on the Blood Forest, which is in the third layer, had any intelligence at all. I wonder what really makes the monsters inside the layer one and two so weak but yet so impressively intelligent. To the point of creating their own cultures and languages and being able to abuse the system to their advantage, like the Hairy Spider Empress, who tricked the Alligator and Squirrel Emperors and ended up absorbing their powers, abusing the system with her skills.
However, the difference in strength is too wide, yes, you can be born with intelligence here, but compared to the layer three to five monsters, we would be re ants. Of course, this does not apply to my servants, who can grow incredibly fast thanks to my blessing.
After crossing through the entire of the Grand Forest, my bats discovered that there are incredibly vast plains, looking like a sea made of grass. They explored around these massive grassy plains but after so ti they ended giving up, as they did not find anything in kiloters, outside of stronger monsters who lacked complex intelligence.
"I will have to send more bats to explore these grassy plains, but according to their mind pictures, they are extrely wide, surrounding most of this forest. I will call them Vast Plains"
However, these grassy plains did not surround the entirety of this forest. As I said before, most, but not all of it.
Thanks to my bats, I was able to get a better picture of the Snowy Mountain Walls and the Spiky Mountains. It seems that the Grand Forest is directly stuck to them, this is why we weren't able to see these plains when we went to the Snowy Mountain Walls. There are even so brave trees growing on the feet of these mountains.
My bats were able to discover where the Dark Nation was. Yes, I finally get to know where is this damned necromancer. The Vast Plains surrounds around 3/5 of the entire Grand Forest, however, the other 2/5 are covered by a "dead zone" a strange place composed of a floor made of spiky black colored rocks, this entire place barely holds any vegetation and does not have any other monster or animal life at all. In the middle of this "dead zone" there are the gigantic ruins of the fallen Kingdom of Ollathir. My bats were able to see so hundreds of Undead moving around this place, and on the very center of these ruins there was a gigantic castle. This castle aura was incredibly deadly, making my bats cower in fear.
The bad news is that these ruins were being protected by a massive solidified magic do, which nullified most magic and put countless debuffs on whoever steps inside. Two of my bats who dared to enter this magic do exploded into pieces right at the mont they touched this area.
"This is bad… How will I even confront this bastard if he got this powerful magic do surrounding him? Will I have to sit around as he showers with thousands of armies until I die or run away? Sigh…"
"No… This is my new task, make a spell able to crack his defenses, and then, strike right through his castle! What will happen first? Will I be able to destroy his magic do or will he co personally for my head?"
I need to send more bats to carefully inspect the components of this powerful magic barrier and be able to find a spell that can crack it.
"Alright, Activate skill: Flesh Minion Creation!"
Fluosh!
Using all my MP and Stamina, I managed to create around 20 new flesh minion bats. Before sending them away, I casted my Spiritual Blood Magic Shield on each one, which costed several MP Potions, thankfully, I got a lot yesterday from the hands of Kusuri.
I sent 10 bats towards the Dark Nation and 10 towards the Vast Plains.
"That should be it"
Rushing things won't give any favors, neither will be slacking around and wait for a miracle to happen. I must use every tool I have at my disposition to secure my victory. When the fighting ti finally cos, I won't back down.
When my bats finally flew until I couldn't see them anymore, I decided to sit for a mont and opened my Item Box.
I took two big Reward Gift boxes that I obtained from the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon and decided to open them.
"Let's see what this gacha has to offer"
The first one I opened was the smallest one, that was rewarded to after beating the dungeon boss. The biggest one was rewarded after clearing the dungeon.
The small box glowed on a shiny light and slowly dissipated, leaving a different item on place.
"Ah paper?"
| HUNDRED CURSED EYES ARTS SCROLL: A scroll containing the knowledge and the basics of the forbidden Hundred Cursed Eyes Arts. Consu this item to obtain 3 Hundred Cursed Eyes Arts skills at random |
"Random? Geez…"
| CONSU ITEM: HUNDRED CURSED EYES ARTS SCROLL? |
| >YES NO |
"Yes!"
Fluosh!
I didn't even need to read the scroll as it glowed on a shiny light. This light slowly gathered on my palm and was absorbed by my body. And then, I felt as if unknown knowledge entered my mind, similar to how the bats gave their mories.
Ding!
| YOU LEARNED THE FOLLOWING SKILLS: |
| HUNDRED CURSED EYES ARTS: DEATH PACT |
| HUNDRED CURSED EYES ARTS: REVERSE DEBUFF |
| HUNDRED CURSED EYES ARTS: REVERSE BUFF |
"Ooh! That was too easy! These sound pretty good…"
| HUNDRED CURSED EYE ARTS: DEATH PACT: Using the forbidden knowledge of the Hundred Cursed Eye Arts, you can do a pact with the death (Undead monsters). This pact is not an enslavent pact and both parties must agree on their respective conditions. This skill can be used to both make a pact with soone you are close to or with a random Undead monster who is willing to do a pact with you around the entirety of the Realm of Vida. Cost 400 MP. Cooldown 1 Month |
"Ah! With this I can pretty much summon an Undead who would do a pact with … But that cooldown and MP cost really scare … Maybe I could do a pact with so strong Undead on the upcoming wave? But both parties have to agree, it's not entirely an enslavent pact… It would be extrely hard. Didn't Zehe had soone dear to her who was a Lich? Will that guy agree to this pact? Ugh… I can already imagine an Undead teacher being a strict and stoic n, probably would remain loyal to its master until its death…"
These other two skills were self-explanatory, one being able to reverse debuffs and the other being able to reverse buffs. It is extrely useful considering my new knowledge of this necromancer magic do. This skill will beco an important ingredient on my recipe towards a spell able to crack this shield.
After checking on these two new skills, I took the second Reward Gift and opened it.
Fluosh!
This ti, unlike the other Reward Gifts, this one glowed on a bigger and blinding light, forcing to close my eyes. When this light finally dissipated, there was a big item on my hand.
This item was by far the strangest I've ever gotten in these Reward Gifts. It looked like a giant sphere made of steel. Inside of it there was a big red gem and countless markings around its spherical shape, depicting a strange language.
"The heck is this?"
| BLOODY SACRIFICE DUNGEON CORE: A core of the Blood Sacrifice Dungeon, it contains the power to revive this dungeon over your command. To activate this function. Implant this core on the Final Boss room. You will be able to use Dungeon Points earned through Dungeon Managent to produce monsters. Monster can reproduce between themselves and increase its population. Monster can be harvested for their at, magic cores and EXP |
"W-What… T-This is crazy! With this I would be able to send my servants to train here! We would also be able to harvest these monster ats, EXP and magic cores… Wait, what is a magic core?"
Suddenly, the System itself answered my question.
| MAGIC CORE: A magic core is a stone containing a strong concentration of magic, which makes the monsters made by the dungeon master able to move on their own, normal monsters does not possess this core. This core has thousands of variants and can be used for different purposes, from dicine to even crafting. |
"T-Thanks System… Since when did it beco so attentive…? Anyways, I will have to move this to the dungeon, better to do it today after breakfast… I wonder how this dungeon system works"
"Sigh… Very well, ti to o check on the rest of my Kingdom, I don't even have ti to get worried… Hahaha… Huh?"
While I was laughing, I unintentionally woke my wives up.
They all looked beautiful and adorable when waking up, warming my tired heart.
"H-Honey? You were already up? Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Master… Your face seems kind of tired, are you feeling fine?"
"Mastaa… Are you okay, guuu?"
"Big sister…"
It seems that my face looked quite tired.
"Ah! I'm fine… I was just processing so things… We should talk about this later. But for let's go eat breakfast!"
"I want to bathe first, guuuuu! Master co with guuuu!"
"But I already took a bath…"
"Honey, No buts!"
"Hehehe, co on, bathe with us!"
"Big sis, co!"
Brontes suddenly took her clothes off and carried with her arms to the bathroom.
"Uuaagh! B-Brontes you don't have to do this! Uuaah, why I am so blushed right now? What is this strange feeling over being carried like a princess?!"
And so, I had a nice bath with my wives, which relieved my worries and cleaned my mind. Although they were being quite lewd.
.

When we arrived to the Castle Dining Room, a small Spider Maid guided us to a big and long table. It seems that in my absence, my servants crafted a special and beautiful table for and my wives to eat, it was extrely wide with many seats, so I ended up inviting almost everyone who was eating here. Now that the als are paid, they valued even more my invitation to eat everything they wanted.
This ti the people eating in the Castle Dining Room were mostly mbers of the "Royal Knights" as normal citizens would eat mostly at their new hos or in restaurants on the main town.
"Hahaha, I rember when we had our whole Kingdom eating here"
Wagyu laughed.
"Hahaha! Indeed, or when this place was once just made of rocks? No one would believe that now, Master!"
Brontes looked at us with curiosity.
"Big sis, how was this place before?"
"Well, all of this was once just a cave…"
I had a nice breakfast, explaining Brontes and the newer mbers of the Royal Knights the origins of this castle.
When everything was finished, I t again with the revitalized Rin sisters, who had a nice sleep yesterday until today in the morning.
"Fueeh! That nap was so good! I want to keep sleeping! Let sleep more!"
"Hmmm… I feel revitalized…"
"No ti to sleep! Even if Master is back to the Kingdom, we must still help her in everything we can and manage this Kingdom as much as we can, this is the reason of us existing in the first place"
"Eeeeeh? But I wanted to explore the world, not being stuck here being so receptionist…"
Rin comnts really made laugh, I guess I also missed my old Split Minds.
"Hahaha! I guess you are right Rin, if you want, you can join the Royal Knights and train very hard to beco strong enough. Then you can travel the world as much as you want!"
It seed that my intentions on trying to help her made her angrier.
"Eeeh? What are you even talking about, you idiot?! Training?! What a pain! I prefer to be here then…"
Ran and Ren updated on the news of my Kingdom. It seems that the Undead have already finished a new block of houses. These will be given to loads of new families waiting for their own house.
"H-How many houses we need to have all our people?"
"Hmm…"
Ran looked over System Window.
"Around 120 more"
"Eh?!"
"Population is increasing at a rapid speed, and because of the fast growth of the monster babies, most who were born last week are already looking for their own houses"
"I see, for now just let them stay on the Castle, we got plenty of empty rooms now"
"If that's what our Empress desires, we shall do as you command"
"Don't be that cordial with , you girls were once my split minds, you always threated like soone very close to , there is no need for cordialities between family!"
"L-Lady Kireina… I understand"
"Very well then… Kireina"
"Hahaha! Not like I would call you by any other na than idiot, idiot! Hahaha!"
Ran raised her arm and hit Rin right into her head.
TUMP!
"Uggeh!"
"Don't go overboard!"
"Ooow… You are so an sotis! Ueehh!"
Rin started to do a tantrum on the floor, like a small child.
"Big sister is so an! Why are you so an! Ueeeeeh!"
"…"
"…"
"…"
.
.
.
I sent the Rin sister to summon Demonic Beings on the training grounds for everyone to train.
In my absence the skill reached max level multiple tis, evolving two tis. These new Demonic Beings were nad "Lower Demon Sli" and had quite so intelligence, but still remained in place to let themselves get killed.
Kizuato and Yukan were the ones who instructed most of the monkeys on their training, there were loads of new faces. Most were the baby monkeys I once gave a na; it was a colorful bunch.
There was also Celica and Truhan, who were assigned the roles of training the Trolls and Goblins who wanted to be part of the main army. They were quite happy to t again with their brethren, and there were so faces that they recognized.
On the other side, was Kekensha accompanied by Yuki, Chikyu and Iwa. These four were assigned on training the rookie wolves on their own fighting styles, as wolves need a different training than humanoids.
There was also Abellona and his brothers, Ran told that Abellona offered himself to be a trainer of the rest of the slaves, and so the whole Wyvern family will take care of the slaves and other creatures like Fla Salamanders, Gale Birds and so of iji spirits.
I noticed that Vulcanus, iji's Fire Spirit beca quite popular with the Fla Salamanders, as he is a big Salamander himself. He got his own club of fangirls, who praise him as the "Legendary Fla Salamander".
"There is so many new people here, its hard to spot so specific people… I'm glad Celica and Truhan got a new job as instructors and also as official Royal Knights!"
Celica and Truhan who were close noticed my praising and greeted .
"Aaah! Master! We can finally see you without so many people around you! Hahahaha!"
"Indeed, Master is very popular, we wanted to greet you yesterday but there were floods of people around you"
"I'm sorry guys… I don't even know when did this beco like this… I was surprised too"
"Hmm! I'm amazed that so many Trolls and Goblins survived the latest battles, Celica was almost tearing up after seeing so many known faces that managed to survive"
"Aah! T-Truahn don't say that in front of Master, you embarrass !"
"Hahahaha! Celica is very cute when she gets embarrassed!"
"Geez…"
"I was also as surprised as you two, I'm glad that they joined on their own will, they will beco important assets to our Kingdom. Very well then, I have important things to do now. See ya!"
The couple waved their hands saying their good byes.
"We wish you good luck Master!"
Seeing how the Training Grounds were handling things, I told my wives about my flesh bat minion information and the Dungeon Core, and its importance on making everyone stronger.
They all decided to co with , as they don't even want to leave alone on the bathroom.
We quickly flew outside the castle for a quick trip back to the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon.
