Lurenzo’s throat moved.

He stood still in the yard, staring at the rundown house in front of him.

Somehow, he felt a strange yet familiar energy from this house.

What is it?

Lurenzo’s muscles were tense. He didn’t see anything wrong with the house, but something just sent a chill down his spine.

Is this a villain den? A monster nest?

But...that moving ground...

It looked interesting.

A hint of greed flashed in Lurenzo’s eyes and the man slowly approached the house with its door open.

Upon approaching, he finally noticed the hole in the wall that was...moving?

Bricks grew from the other bricks, slowly covering the big hole!

What kind of house is this??

Lurenzo gripped his iron tube on his waist and stepped into the house silently.

The moment Lurenzo entered the house, a breath of fresh air suddenly enveloped him and he immediately felt as if he was drowning in a warm, comfortable bath water.

Lurenzo’s eyes widened, his face instantly flushed red.

This! This sensation—

Energy-dense air??

The legendary place that was said to boost an awakener’s chance of leveling up by at least 10%??

But...this is just a house!

Lurenzo quickly snapped out of his euphoria, his breathing heavier.

Tiny bits of blue light glowed around the house, but it didn’t look like an ordinary night lamp.

Something is wrong.

There’s no way an ordinary house can have energy-dense air or those strange blue lights, unless...

It’s a dungeon?

It must be!

Lurenzo’s heart already half-believed his intuition but he immediately denied it.

Ah, what nonsense. What kind of human can live in a dungeon? Hahaha...

Lurenzo threw away the absurd thought and walked past the wall, but the slimy, blue liquid sliding down instantly caught his eyes.

Huh? What’s this?

Lurenzo’s curiosity pushed him to wipe his finger on the wall, and...

Chill.

A prickly, cold sensation pierced his fingers, followed by a sticky feeling.

Lurenzo subconsciously retracted his fingers and saw...not a single speck of dust.

What...the?

That cold, slimy feeling similar to a slime dungeon, the dust-free wall despite the strange texture...

Lurenzo clenched his fists, his mind already going down the rabbit hole but then, when he turned around, his face brushed past a thin, almost invisible membrane.

Deja vu.

Lurenzo took the thing that brushed his face and saw the familiar...spider web.

The spider web looked thin yet Lurenzo pulled them apart and they stretched easily, not breaking at all.

It is not...an ordinary spider web.

Lurenzo’s mind immediately recalled the disappearing dungeon and the unusual spider web that suddenly appeared in this house...

Shudder.

No, no, let’s not think too much.

It can’t be!

Lurenzo’s survival instinct screamed at him to run, but his merchant instinct forced him to dig deeper.

He might uncover a treasure no one had ever seen!

But before Lurenzo could even do anything...

Srrkk.

...?

Lurenzo looked down and saw the tile...moved.

Huh? Wait, what—

Skrrkk!

The tile immediately lifted Lurenzo a few centimeters from the ground and rushed him to the bathroom!

"Ahhh! Help!"

Lurenzo was jostled up and down roughly, almost falling to the ground but the tile kept dragging him before tossing him to a public bathroom, the one outside of Lucien’s bedroom.

Bang!

"Wait, wait, I didn’t see anything— "

Pssttt.

A white mist immediately spurt out of thin air, covering Lurenzo from head to toe.

A familiar scent of disinfectant spread and Lurenzo subconsciously coughed.

"Cough! Cough! What..."

Is this?

His slightly numb body, exposed to the faint poison in the spider dungeon, suddenly felt light.

It was as of the toxin was removed.

...it can’t be, right?

Right??

Lurenzo froze stiff, allowing the mist to do anything to him.

After the "bathing session", the tile once again carried him all the way to the small room and tossed him into the bed, so rude compared to how it treated Lucien.

Yet Lurenzo didn’t dare to complain as the moment he entered the room—

All his exhaustion disappeared and his depleted energy was slowly recovering— no, it’s not slow!

It’s way faster than usual!

Something is really not right.

How could he recover his energy without drinking potions??

But if this was real...

Lurenzo almost fainted with a smile on his face.

Did he just strike it rich??

Just what kind of place is this...and who is that young master??

While Lurenzo was doubting his life, Lucien had just got the toxin in his body completely removed,

"Thanks."

Lucien spoke to the air, stretched casually, got his clothes changed without him lifting a finger and slowly picked up Mumu, who was floating in the pool-like bathtub.

Lucien wanted to fix the house right away, but exhaustion was inevitable so he fell right onto his bed and slept all the way until the moonlight shone to his face.

"Mmm..."

Lucien sluggishly woke up, he checked the time and almost jumped out of the bed.

[22:00]

Just two hours before midnight!

"Mumu! It’s time to fix the hole!"

Lucien woke up the sleeping slime as he sat on the bed, his vision looked at his whole house.

Lucien’s cold face cracked, his face softened.

His inner soul jumped cheerfully, kissing his house.

Sorry for the wait, baby! Daddy is back!

Let’s see, what to do...oh, grab the temporary materials!

Good thing those bastard worms were here.

Lucien’s mind immediately shifted to the slime dungeon.

The slimes inside the dungeon immediately felt as if a pair of eyes were watching them from the void and all slimes, whatever they were doing, immediately paused and bowed.

The Lord is here!

Is the Lord here for inspection?

The nervous slimes murmured to each other and Lucien raised an eyebrow.

As expected. The slimes are way more intelligent than the spiders.

Hmmm, is there something different between the two?

Sus.

Putting aside his suspicion, Lucien’s vision zoomed in on the three thumper worm’s carcasses, still fresh, didn’t decompose at all.

Putting it in the cold and slimy slime dungeon was genius!

Lucien’s inner soul patted himself on the back and then tilted his head.

But...how to dismantle the armored skin without tools?

Just imagine it?

A sharp invisible knife cutting the worm, separating the shell from the meat, like peeling an apple, maybe...

Woongggg.

The space inside the slime dungeon trembled and a thumper worm was suddenly lifted by an invisible force.

The next second...

An invisible space blade slowly dissected the worm, just like what Lucien thought about.

! It works!

"Ugh."

A throbbing pain pierced Lucien’s head and he subconsciously wanted to stop, but seeing two more worms yet to be processed...

Speed up!

Swish swish swish.

Before the pain intensified, Lucien stopped in time and wiped his sweat.

Huft, okay, materials get.

But...

How to fix the wall with this thing?

He had never repaired a house before!

Is there a skill related to this...

Wait.

Lucien slapped his thigh.

Aha! Since there was a demolition skill, there must be a repair skill too!

At Lucien’s thoughts, the system guide appeared.

DING! [Dungeon Landlord’s innate skills: ]

[House Management skill set (legendary)]

[Repair (Legendary)]

[Description: A house will always need a repair and a good landlord knows how to repair it.]

[Estimated skill usage recovery time: 24 hours]

Okay, now...

Lucien imagined the materials blending into his house and the armored shells slowly disappeared from the slime dungeon.

At the same time, a shiny, black shell slowly appeared on the huge hole in the wall.

Crrrkkkkk.

The shell slowly covered the hole, blocking it completely, but since it was just a layer, the bricks behind the shell were still slowly recovering, leaving an empty space in the middle.

The system guide immediately sent a pop up.

DING! [You have successfully repaired your main dungeon! (Temporary)]

[Estimated skill cooldown halved: 12 hours]

[Please use suitable materials to completely repair the dungeon]

In the tenant room, Lurenzo suddenly felt as if a cold gaze brushed past him, lingering just a split second.

"Hah!"

Lurenzo jumped out of the bed, his hands grabbing the iron tubes tightly, sweat dripped down his face.

W-what was that?

The hair all over his body stood up and his heart beat so fast it almost leapt out of his chest.

D-did something just...look at him?

W-what is it? Monster? Ghost? Or...God??

Lurenzo was on the verge of breaking down while Lucien got a crimson panel thoughtfully sent by the system guide.

DING! [Countdown before entering the Death Zone: ]

[00:29:59]

It’s time to go back to the Death Zone.
