Chapter 1060 A Strange Village Inside The Dungeon

I cracked my knuckles and then decided to go to my Dungeon for a bit, to not bother her with my things, and walked through a portal, leaving her alone for a bit.

As soon as I arrived at the grasslands, I saw a beautiful and expansive grassland, with a huge forest to the end of it, spreading across many kilometers.

The higher the level of the dungeon, the larger each floor became, the first floor at the beginning was really small, but now it had become very, VERY big!

I think it was as big as a whole region in the map of the Atlantea Continent by now, and by sharing my senses with the Dungeon System\'s helper form, I can easily map the whole thing.

Although it seems boundless, the entire place is surrounded by invisible walls, though, it is so big that not many truly reach the end of it.

And as I was thinking about him, a tiny box-like spiritual being appeared in front of me, really happy to see me.

[The [Dungeon System] greets the Dungeon Master!]

[They are very happy! It seems that the Harvest Familiars you\'ve left behind have brought them good company.]

[The Harvest Familiars have begun working on other things as the passage of time was faster here than in the outside world.]

"Is that so?" I wondered. "Well, I\'m glad you\'ve got some friends that aren\'t just the usual monsters- huh?!"

However, I quickly noticed what he meant, even Alice, right at my side, was shocked…

"W-What in the world has happened here, Dungeon System?! D-Did you let them build this?!" Alice asked.

"W-Woah…" I gasped.

I looked to my left, finding there was something… Quite amusing. Right next to the great area where I\'ve planted and multiplied several crops, including magic ingredients, there was a small village.

Yes, a village! I had only left 60 Harvest Familiars here, and I simply told them to "work in the fields, protect them, and do whatever else you want as long as it is not harmful to the dungeon", but I never thought they would do this.

"T-The village seems to be made of wood and plants, and there seems to be some sort of temple at the end of it." Alice said.

"D-Dungeon System, what\'s this supposed to be? I thought the Harvest Familiars weren\'t smart enough to do this…" I said.

[The [Dungeon System] explains that your Summons are very smart, due to the high amount of Intelligence Stat they posses.]

[After a few months, they have figured out many things after the Dungeon System taught it to them… as a hobby of sorts.]

"Did you access to my information database?" Sighed Alice. "Sigh, my child, were you feeling that lonely?"

The little box made a saddened face, lowering its head.

[The [Dungeon System] apologizes! They only thought it could be fun to build something like a small civilization here… For experimental purposes.]

[They say that they can delete the village if you are not pleased with it.]

"Wait, no! Don\'t do that…" I sighed. "I think it\'s fine… In fact, we were just amazed, it is all so… incredible! I need to go meet my Summons again!"

I always thought of them as just mere plant monsters I could summon, but if they\'re smart enough to do all of this… They could be considered sapient, to an extent.

I had come here to just Rank Up using my job item in peace, but it seems that things would have to be delayed slightly.

The entire village had around twenty-five houses, they looked slightly rough, some had a lot of mushrooms growing over them, there was no paved streets, but there were different areas.

From what I noticed, there was a butcher, a medicine shop, and even a crafting workshop?!

The moment we entered; we were greeted by the Harvest Familiars guarding the village.

They were a Jack-o-Lantern and an Apple Treant, both wielding huge wooden spears. When they saw me, they were slightly surprised.

"Heheh!"

"Gooh?"

They couldn\'t talk though, but showed in their expressions and sounds that they seemed pleased to see me. They were… much more expressive and felt much more "alive" than I ever thought a being born from a Skill could ever feel.

"H-Hi… Been a while since I left you here." I said. "Can I get in?"

Both nodded happily and let me enter the village, which was surrounded by wooden walls. Apparently the monsters weren\'t friendly with them, and the harvest familiar seemed to occasionally hunt them to eat.

They can replenish their energy in various ways, one of them is draining my Mana. But it seems that Mana Connection breaks or weakens when I leave them behind, so they have to make up for it through photosynthesis, and nutrient absorption.

"So they need to hunt to gain some sustenance, isn\'t it?" I wondered.

"It appears to be the case, hence why butchers were made." Alice nodded.

As we walked through the grassy streets of this village made by plant people, they all popped out one after another from their homes, glancing at me curiously. Most greeted me, although some remained in silence.

We looked at the butcher store, finding a Jack-o-Lanter an Apple Treant, and ten little Dashing Radishes working for them.

"Wait a second…"

The entire street was actually full of many Harvest Familiars… Some I didn\'t even raise!

There were the weaker ones I had discarded too, the radishes, potatoes, carrots, and so on, where did they get them?

"I think there\'s more than sixty Harvest Familiars here!" I told the Dungeon System. "W-What the hell is going on here? How can they multiply beyond the skill limit?"

[The [Dungeon System] says you\'ll find out once you enter the temple at the end of the village!]

"Gebo!"

A little Dashing Radish wearing a pink bow guided me there, grabbing my hand.

"Gebo, gebo!"

"O-okay, fine… I\'m going! Don\'t drag me there!"

At the end, we reached the temple, and an Enchanting Lettuce wearing nun-like clothes greeted me.

"Aha! Ahaa!" She pointed to the gates, opening them.

And what was inside was…
