Lady Boss Of The Unpopular Dungeon

Chapter 12 - A New Look for Alexa and Astral Descent Part 2

As Alexa had done some thinking on what she wanted to spend her Dungeon Points on, she accessed the Dungeon System to begin using it's lottery system. The enchanted mirror that housed the dungeon system spoke with it's slightly electronic voice and asked, "You have 10,000 Dungeon Points, what would you like to purchase?" Alexa smiled and asked "I would like to purchase five trap rooms to remodel the dungeon with, three extra areas to add to my bedroom, and one monster egg to serve as a subordinate." The Dungeon System was quiet for a few moments until it responded "The total amount of Dungeon Points to be spent is 7,000, is this what you choose to do?" Alexa responded with a yes to the dungeon system and the enchanted mirror began to glow with an intense white light.

The light grew bigger and bigger until it had enveloped the young girl in light for a few minutes until it faded away leaving behind a large silvery oval shaped object near Alexa's feet. Alexa motioned Una to pick up the silvery object which she did and Alexa asked "Is that the monster egg that I asked for? Why is it all silvery?" Una gave a soft smile and began explaining "Mistress, all lower monster eggs look like this, the only way of distinguishing them from others are though scent." As soon as she was finished talking, Una brought the monster egg to her face, closed her eyes, and sniffed it in an effort to find out more about it. After sniffing the egg for a few seconds, Una opened her eyes and began sharing her opinion of what type of monster the egg might be "Mistress, I believe this monster may be a sphinx, they are quite smart and perfect to train from a young age"

Alexa smiled and set the enchanted mirror on the ground and took the egg from Una and then she asked "Una, how do I hatch this little guy?" The snake girl smiled and began another tutoring session for Alexa to learn about more about using her powers. "Mistress, when someone other than the parent of a lower monster comes into possession of a egg, they must place a drop of blood onto the egg and like what you did with the legacy treasures, you need to channel your magic into it to fully bind the monster to you." Alexa nodded head head and with some help from Rune, pricked her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the silvery sphinx egg. After the drop of blood fell onto the egg, Alexa once again focused on channeling her energy into her hands and soon they emitted a bright pink glow she placed her hands upon the egg. The egg began to glow with a very faint pink light and soon it faded leaving behind a pale pink ornate design on then egg.

Alexa stared at the egg expectantly to see if anything would happen. She kept staring for a couple of minutes until she let loose an aggravated groan and narrowed her eyes at Una who had to cover her mouth with her hand to keep in order to keep her composure. Alexa frowned and asked "Una, you said the blood and magical energy would make the egg hatch! The only change I've seen is this weird pattern on it." Una closed her eyes and let loose a small bought of laughter while Rune began to snicker "Boss, when you bind a monster egg to you, you need to what until the next sunrise for it to hatch. You really don't have any common sense, do you?" As soon as Rune had finished with his his smart-aleck comment, Alexa had picked up a throw pillow off the velvet sofa and threw it at him which ended up knocking him over while also earning an aggravated shriek.

Alexa picked up the enchanted mirror and accessed the Dungeon System in order find out more about her other purchases that she had made with her previous Dungeon Points. and then she asked "Dungeon System, aside from purchasing rooms and monsters, is there anything else I can do with you?" The Dungeon System quickly respond in it's unusual slightly electronic voice "Mistress, now that you have some rooms to customize Astral Descent with, you have unlocked a new function. It is the room organization function and with it, you can view and alter the layout of both the dungeon and the personal rooms of the dungeon master." Alexa began grinning while she began accessing the room organization function and soon the grin disappeared as soon as she saw the layout of Astral Descent.

"Guys, it's no wonder this dungeon isn't popular anymore, this is the worst example of a dungeon maze I've ever seen!" Alexa shouted in an aggrieved tone due to the fact the dungeon consisted of three rooms which consisted of two rooms rigged with arrow traps and the final room resembling an arena. Rune (who had recovered from Alexa's pillow attack) and Una shared an embarrassed look and Una cleared her throat and began explaining the reason for the sorry state of Astral Descent's layout. "Mistress, do you remember when We told about the history of the dungeon and the second dungeon master?" Alexa sighed and answered Una's statement with a tired-sounding "Yes". Una gave out a depressed sigh of her own and continued her story, "Back then, My parents and Ruka served as both advisers and bodyguards for that foolish woman. She had initially started out as the leader of a bandit gang that mostly relied on strength than brains. When she f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y took control of the dungeon, She arrogantly thought that since she was a dungeon master, there was no one who could ever defeat her...." Una paused to take a deep breath to calm herself down and soon went on about the bad choices made by the previous dungeon master "Her arrogance made her believe that she could do nothing wrong and that everything that went wrong due to her leadership was the fault of others, She felt that the quicker that adventurers made it to the end of the dungeon, the easier it would be to fight them and then rob them with the help of her bandit gang." Una's eyes began to tear up as she tried to continue the story "The monsters who resided in the dungeon felt that the second dungeon master was making terrible choices by robbing the adventurers who entered the dungeon but when they confronted her about it, most of the monsters who complained were captured and taken outside the dungeon where they were all.....killed by that horrible woman's bandit underlings."
