My King System

"So what did you learn about those kids?" Yuki asked, now curious due to what his summon had said. He had assumed that there might\'ve been something slightly interesting about the group of teens who had brought him to his house, however, he didn\'t really care all that much. Yuki just wanted a method which he could entertain himself by in the mornings. While he would be busy at night in the dungeon, Yuki would have nothing to do in the mornings due to him being new and not knowing anyone in the kingdom. It wasn\'t like he could meet people there as well. It was very likely that most of the people were scum, though it wasn\'t their fault since they had to act as such to survive. 

"Well, I sent my spy files to follow them and I learned a couple of things. For starters, there\'s an underground to this place. A lot of people gather there at night and do everything which a typical gang would do. The important part was what those groups of kids did once they entered the place where the gang met. When they went inside, they looked relatively calm as if they had just returned back home. They greeted a couple people before walking towards the man who sat in the middle of the room and had everyone\'s attention. Without any hesitation, they handed over the money which you gave them and in exchange, they received another pouch of silver. I assume that the pouch that they were given in exchange was less valuable than the one you gave. I think that each member of the gang has to give a large portion of any money they make to the boss and in return, they get a small amount of it," the king from the 8th stage of the 1st dungeon explained. 

Learning this made Yuki nervous yet eager. He wanted to learn how powerful the organization which his summon had just spoken of was. Yuki needed to learn how much influence they had over the entire population of the kingdom and how it impacted the ordinary civilians. As such, he would know how to properly deal with them when the situation arrived or they confronted him. Although he did want to completely overpower them if the opportunity ever came his way, Yuki knew that due to his necklace, he would be powerless. To add on, he couldn\'t even call Zero because if he were to do that, the guards outside would get the news and become suspicious of Yuki. As such, Yuki would need to avoid those people for the time being. 

"That\'s actually pretty useful. Thanks for going through all the effort to find out that information, and thanks for making this place clean. You can go back now," Yuki said as he opened his inventory before taking out "King\'s Crown" from his inventory and placing it on his head which made Yuki\'s summon return to the crown. 

"Now that\'s been taken care of. I can go on to do what I initially wanted to do. I need to go back to the dungeon and start clearing it. I can\'t go on with being weak anymore," Yuki said to himself. 

"Hey Zero, teleport me back to the dungeon gate where you sent me before. Make sure to remove this necklace thing as well," Yuki called out to Zero telepathically while closing his eyes. 

Once Yuki had actually opened his eyes, he was greeted with the empty field which housed the dungeon gate to the next dungeon which he needed to clear. Due to the night sky being so dark, the green glow which emanated from the gate was much more prominent than before. It was actually pretty calming for Yuki to look at the dungeon gate while he became absorbed in the cold breeze of the night. Even knowing how much pain the dungeons caused him, Yuki had completely forgotten about that as he walked towards the dungeon gate without the slightest bit of worry in his eyes. 

"Here I go once again," Yuki said as he entered the dungeon. 

[Welcome to the dungeon: Goblin King\'s Domain]

[Level recommended: 11-15+]

"There are 10 stages within this dungeon. After each stage, there is a save point. After you have reached it, you can leave the dungeon and come back later on to continue your quest here. If you choose to leave without reaching the next save point, all the exp you\'ve earned after your previous save point will be lost," The robotic explanation voice said.

"If you agree to these conditions, please step forward to begin your quest," The voice continued.

[If you would like to move to the 1st stage of the dungeon, please step forward]

[Stage 1 difficulty: level 11]

"From the sound of it, this place is going to be goblin themed. I\'m already used to dealing with goblins since I\'ve encountered them in the outside world due to them being one of the most common outside monsters. I used to be fine if I just bought a blade with me. I wanted to try out the bident I got from the last dungeon I cleared but taking one of my proper blades should bring me better results," Yuki told himself. 

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out "Fallen angel of hell" and headed inside the first stage of the dungeon without the least bit of hesitation since he knew that his battles would be fairly easy. 

...

Elsewhere in the world, a man in a dirty cloak continued to walk through the streets in the night. As he walked while minding his business, another man bumped into him on purpose. 

"Watch where you\'re going, idiot. You better be ready to clean these shoes with your tongue. These are worth more than your life," the man said as he wanted to start a fight to impress the two women who were at his sides. As expected, while the man instigated the other man who was wearing the cloak, the woman snickered in pity for him. 

"He should\'ve apologized right after he had bumped into you," the woman agreed with the instigator. 

"You\'re causing a scene," the man in the cloak said. Before letting the instigator reply, the man in the clock activated his ability.

"Activate ability: Ice Control"

"Ice Jail"
