After the group acknowledges our goal, and me as their leader in this moment, I get the option to add Fisher, Lydia, and Monk to my Rising Emperor’s Domain system. I do so without notifying them of this change and now see their status screens and geopoints light up in my mind’s eye.

[Main Body POV ~ Midnight]

My teammates approach me from the canyon, and my double points a finger to its forehead to kill itself. The memories of the arena come rushing into my consciousness.

Imagery of the 5th ranked Dark Guard trying to possess my teammates, and Maria’s overwhelm...

Dungeon Diver CH462

I can't sense the guard from here inside the tower, but that number "5" on its armor looks eerily familiar to the "7" I saw on the Dark Guard that I fought in the desert.

Considering the strength difference it showed compared to the lower-leveled guards, I can only assume this one is far st...

[Many Hours Earlier in the Day (Around Noon): Body Double POV]

I leave my main body at the edge of the canyon and use the transport crystal to teleport back into the lobby of the Galeheart Tower.

I put up my mana shielding, but unfortunately don't have Qi to block my overwhelming mana...

Dungeon Diver CH460

I expand my all-seeing eye's visual range and watch the woman with the unique skill slip away back into one of the houses, quickly moving away from my gaze.

The thought of flying over there and confronting her about her skill and why she was watching me crosses my mind, but it would make se...

Dungeon Diver CH459

I walk down the narrow spiral stairs into the mana-shielded basement but decide not to close the hatch above me.

With my most recent boost in mana control, I'm able to get a better reading of this A-Grade Mana Shielding. With all of my skills and mana control on full blast, I'm sure I could...

Dungeon Diver CH458

The visual of the white crystal dissolving into the air plays over and over in my mind. I wouldn't have managed to catch it, or even sense it, if I wasn't specifically looking for it.

I’m almost positive I just managed to finally obtain one of the most valuable magic items in the world. 2024-03-30 23:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Dungeon Diver CH457

I take the Isolation Pod I've been working on all this time out of my storage and allow my double to place it inside its own.

It blips away, back to the Wild Boar dungeon to perform its test.

I wait patiently for about a minute, then the memories of my body double successfully inputti...

Dungeon Diver CH456

I turn to Arie.

“You should come too. As long as you stay within 100 meters of me, your body doubles won’t deactivate. They can continue to train here by the Abyss while we go into the desert.”

Then, I turn back in the direction of the rogue dungeon.

“Sure, I’ll come a...

Dungeon Diver CH455

As soon as I walk out of the dungeon and look up at the sky from a thin path on the edge of the canyon, I see the orange setting sun above.

Instantly, the geopoints of my Rising Emperor’s Domain [Find My Friend] feature manifest in my mind's eye, showing me that Arie is nearby, but Abby a...

Dungeon Diver CH454

"It's usually not that simple. Humans are far less likely to awaken a monster form than monsters are to awaken a human form. After all, ranked-up abilities manifest what the user desires or needs most. Whether that's skill upgrades for those who cannot do it naturally, a new human form to fit in ...

I choose yes on both options, then use self-regeneration, extreme stamina, and drink a full HP potion while slowly air-stepping toward the boss room floor.

My vision is hazy, and my body is tingling all over.

I can feel the life coming back to me, but with over 80% of my Qi core also ...

Dungeon Diver CH452

Luckily, from the pure force of the brute’s attack, I’m thrown flying backward through the air, and the intensity of the lightning shocks lessens the further away from the golden glowing man I get.

I quickly increase my momentum away from him even faster using airsteps, then activate st...

Dungeon Diver CH451

I decide to wait to see how long the respawn rate on this floor is.

Based on what I’ve experienced in labyrinths before, every 20 floors there's a major boss room fight, separating the floors and protecting the Dragon and Demon up top and limiting the number of hunters that can travel in....

Dungeon Diver CH450

The transport magic around me disappears, and I stare out at a marshland of deep swampy water, lush green trees, and flickering blue flames oddly staying lit on top of the water and not spreading to the greenery.

My eyes lock onto the one and only appraisal reading in this whole boss room, ...

Dungeon Diver CH449

“The Vice City Labyrinth is probably the most convenient place to start.”

I think over the logistics in my head.

At the level of monsters I’ll be fighting on floor 30 and above, each mana crystal dropped holds almost 1000 MP, give or take a few hundred. At this rate, every 100 m...

Dungeon Diver CH448

As these questions about my ranked-up buff continue to race through my mind, we come face to face with the Abyss, and I save my theories for later when I can actually test them. Arie opens his status to see the new skill shared with him.

A flash of white light shimmers all around him and cr...

Arie takes a step forward and powers up with a buff.

"Let me fight on my own. I'd like to see how I stack up against this final floor. I want to feel like I've earned this core."

He stops right before the portal at the end of the hall.

"Of course, slip in the final blow to get w...

“I know three potential ways you could get strong enough to venture further into the abyss. Would you like to hear them?”

Arie listens and nods.

“Of course. What do you know?”

I do a quick inspect on Arie to see he’s level 586. It’s a high number, but far below his a...

[Body Double POV]

[~7 Hours Earlier]

I catch the transport crystal and place it in my storage while my main body leaves to check out the town.

My other body double heads off to begin farming skills while I glide down into the Canyon to step into the nearest stable dungeon.

Dungeon Diver CH443

Ember’s Soul Energy-imbued flames cover the orange sword that plummets down at us, but as the beast follows through with its swing, the massive blade disintegrates away in an instant.

All I feel is a huge gust of wind left behind in its wake, but as we swoop upward, and I see the rest of ...

Dungeon Diver CH442

I’m almost entirely drained of Qi, but I planned for this to happen.

As I watch the red blood drip from the Dark Guard's wound, his sword comes down toward me at incredible speed.

I still have nearly all of my Mana stores left, so I activate my Red Hydra’s Buff along with all my p...

Dungeon Diver CH441

The black helmet comes off, and underneath is nothing but a glowing orange, handsome man's face. It drops the helmet, letting it fall to the town below.

One by one, the large figure slowly takes off its gloves, boots, chestplate, and heavy leggings to reveal the shape of a bright orange for...

Dungeon Diver CH440

The static voice echoes in my head as the six black armored guards float in the air closer toward me.

“It looks like you’ve begun to clean up the Sector 2 Leader’s mess for us. How thoughtful.”

As they get closer, I’m positive this is the exact same guard that talked to me i...

Dungeon Diver CH439

The conversation between brothers, bragging and laughing about backstabbing their men countless times for profit, plays in its entirety for every member of both gang to see.

There are 20 of them in total. 12 from the Green Mist remain, and 8 from the Crimson Dagger. Their eyes widen more an...

*Clink*

The man in the red suit of armor has spiky ginger hair and bright blue eyes.

“Brother, we’re finally going to break into the big leagues after this one! I can’t believe the entire stash of that old Sector 2 leader was left out to rot in the desert.”

The man in th...

Dungeon Diver CH437

I look up at the man and shake my head a few times in response.

He looks down at me but doesn't say a word.

We stand in silence for a moment, and I notice the grunt to my left has shaking hands. In the moment of pause, I can hear the papers flutter together. The red armored Boss notic...

Dungeon Diver CH436

The closer I get to the center of town, the more consolidated the groups of hunters become, approaching the dry fountain.

I properly adjust my Qi barrier to the level of mana output I felt around Fin and test out my new [Bind] skill a few times just to see how it works and get the hang of i...
