Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

257 Back to schooling

During the time Yunan spent looking for the phoenix legacy and leisurely prancing around the world, the girls made their way to the 49th floor and were preparing to cross over to the 50s, and if not for the fact that Yunan had just returned and was under house arrest to make sure he was fine they would have gone and taken the boss down.

During the time of his house arrest, Yunan had to deal with two groups of groupies, his wives who suddenly found themselves in a very terrible heat, and Balin, the guy who has been begging him to let him experiment on the items that were brought from the spiritual cave. Yunan had already allowed Balin to play with them but he did not allow anything that might damage or compromise the items, items gained from gods were something beyond mortals and the private dimension was a good proof of that.

Since he had nothing to do but lay down and be pampered endlessly, he thought he should explore the functions of the Black Fate and get to know birdie better, she had been rejecting names left and right even ones chosen by Yunan, and birdie was slowly taking over as her name because it was the only thing she could be called that was mildly reasonable, even the names she came with were by far too unsightly.

Thus, the peaceful days kept rolling around, and Debauchery took the chance to tutor Yunan while he was at home, his appraisal level was already at level 80, same for his smithing so what he did most was to exchange with Dustan and Balin respectively on their subjects, reaching such a high level in these talents meant that Yunan was already good enough with his practice and extremely diligent at it. On the contrary the tutoring by Fae and Leader were heavily resting on mana manipulation and raw magical power, Fae made sure Yunan reached the high sage level in mana manipulation, the only rank below divinity when it comes to mastery over something, while Leader made sure Yunan understood how control over his magic could save him so much time and so many avoidable headaches.

Compared to many, Yunan had a bigger mana pool in his core and his regeneration was on par with far stronger people, and with something like that, he was used to spending his mana as needed, his control was impeccable for an adventurer on his level but still too far from the likes of Fae and Leader who can cast all their spells without trace nor chant, without the need to rely on a skill like Yunan. Even if Yunan had trained so well that he could do the same, he still relied on the skill because traceless casting was too far away from him, naturally that is, the problem was that his body has not been casting magic for a period long enough to be able to hide magical intent, sadly simply overusing magic was not the way to compensate for time and Yunan had to wait at least 10 more years for his body to naturally reach that point and that is only because he had two mythical bloodlines that dealt in magic.

It was the turn for Bai and Lucian to play tutor when the girls, specifically Sarah, brought up a very interesting question; from the outlook of Debauchery that is, "why is it that Yunan never actually killed, his closest deed was to let someone die because they ignored his advice, the second worst was send a package that was sure to cause mayhem knowing it was going to kill hundreds of he was not heeded".

One can claim Yunan had never taken a life, or he had taken plenty by proxy, but the consensus was that he should be able to kill, why has he not done it yet with so many opportunities, and the answer was simple, no one had made him feel like they deserved to die by his hands, at best they came close enough to be fire fuel for Drogon. And so Debauchery has, in their infinite wisdom, decided to break that mental block of the worthiness of death, and just turn Yunan into the guy who can just kill on a whim, or at least include torture if the killing was deemed too little of a punishment.

And thus Yunan was squeezed into torture training because according to Debauchery "it is high bloody time", "such a disgrace to our name, how can our student go 50 floors in the dungeon, fight a super cult, become king with 0 casualties, it's like we raised a pacifist", "this is it, as soon as the girls hit the 50s all of you will taste blood". A loophole appeared and Yunan took advantage of it immediately, he made the girls take at least 6 more months because he wanted some time to work on the Black Fate.

After dealing with Debauchery temporarily and escaping their clutches, Yunan found himself sitting in the spiritual cave with his pets frolicking around him, in hands the Black Fate was visible and ready to talk. "Anything useful after the full unlock?" Yunan was not going to look through everything, the ring knew everything about itself much better and it could project how it can help Yunan according to his level of power. "The encyclopedia about encountered monsters now includes all creatures that exist in the dungeon, including variants and awakened, there is also a tracking for finding certain extremely rare monsters if the user is into collecting those. And lastly a complete encyclopedia of magic and skills that are currently inside the dungeon"

"All other functions have no use because User has better versions including a storage space and a radar system, there is also danger detection alarm that can predict the future but it is not as effective as users natural talent and will only cause distractions". Yunan nodded his head, he decided to read the magic encyclopedia to see if he could find memory magic or something that could be used to simulate the same effect, as for the monster encyclopedia, he would read later in search of viable traits to add to his arsenal.
