Great Dungeons are like upgraded forms of the normal Dungeons, like ten times upgraded. They do not appear often, but once they do, they immediately drag the surroundings into a frenzy, and that is because of the resources that can be found and the danger.

If not cleared, the Great Dungeon breaks. The monsters that would pour out would be enough to wipe out more than a quarter of a Region, and if care is not taken, it could destroy more than half.

But more than the dangers the monsters pose, th

Quinn did remember.She said somehow that added even more to her suspicions. Smiling Slave told Quinn he should give her half of his food and she would tell him how they could escape.Of course, Quinn did not believe her, but when night came around, he gave her a quarter of his food. And every night after that.Quinn gave her a curious look, but he didn't say anything, he just tilted his head to the side.She snorted. "You don't remember? So why do you think you have been giving me part of your food all this while? Ahahehehe! Well, I'll tell you. The deal was that I would tell you how we can escape from here."Tonight, we will carry out the plan. You're not the only one who'd be going too. The whole of Eboncrypt is in a celebration mood, they're going to let their guard down. So it's now or never."'...so it's tonight, eh. Finally, I'm getting bored out of my mind just washing bodies!..'She paused and looked at him, likely waiting for Quinn to say something, but he just stared at her

Life continued.Quinn stitched body parts until his hands bled, healed, only to bleed again. And just like that, one month passed. He kept counting the rising and setting of the sun every day.It was grueling work, but it also gave him the chance to sort through his conflicting thoughts and think of a way of escaping. Eboncrypt was indeed an Academy, but unlike any Quinn had ever heard of before.The Academy was built like a fortress with many towers walled off with enchantments. The tallest tower had a hulking monster perched like a brooding bird, its mouth opening now and then to belch out destructive beams of energy into the distance.That was the war monster that consumed dreams, created to fight their opponent.If there were any students in the Academy, Quinn had not met any. In fact, his only interaction was with the dead, the supervisors, and the slaves. It was limited, but it was what he had to work with.To make his escape, he needed to bypass all these measures, as well as t

"You really don't know what caused the war between Eboncrypt and Umbracrypt kingdom? Where have you been living all your life if you don't even know that much?"Quinn grimaced and resisted pointing out that she was nothing but an illusion memory of the Great Dungeon. But illusion or not, it was a fact that he could die and be hurt while in it.In fact, it did not seem like an illusion at all.It was night and the slaves had returned to their abode. It was a large pit where they were allowed to stay. And there must have been thousands of them, all trying to get close to each other to save warmth.Cold killed faster than supervisors or illnesses. And nobody really cared if they died.The slave that Quinn was talking to was surprisingly healthier than usual. Although she was still thin, her bones were not as obvious as the others. "I can't believe you survived inside that pod with a head like this!"Quinn was wondering if he should or should not kill her when he had the chance. It was su

"You better do it very well, pod boy! The supervisor is coming!" The voice was hushed and directed at Quinn.Quinn tightened his hands and grimaced.A large, narrow artificial river ran slowly in front of him, the water bloodied and filled with chunks of body parts. From limbs to heads and crushed chests.Quinn and the other slaves that stood at the edge of the river continuously dipped their hands into the river, fished out a limb, and began assembling it.It did not matter what type of limb went with what chest or head, or if the head matched the body. The only requirement was if it fit when they sewed it together with threads.And most of the bodies were not fresh.With one week gone by since he started working there, Quinn was getting used to the smell.He brought out a head from the water and stared at it. The head was from a young woman, and luckily for Quinn, she had a clean severance so he did not need to trim out any excess flesh before he found a chest to attach it to.Just

Things went on like this for a long time and Quinn was content and happy. What was there not to be happy about? He had all he wanted, all the food, all the women, and all the riches.He was an Emperor.And today, just like always, he sat on his throne to hear his ministers on how to better make the people of the world happy."I say, we should implement it already! Why should we allow some people to control such a vast amount of riches? With this policy, everyone will be equal! We'll all have the same money... except you, of course, Your Majesty." One of the ministers said.Quinn quite liked the idea and he nodded with a smile. "I see. Then what are we waiting for...""Your Majesty, we can't do that! What of the people that work harder than others to make their money? What of the people that spent their whole lives building up their wealth?"The monthly entitled payment is already enough for everyone! With that, nobody can blame the world for their poverty if they mismanaged it!"Quinn

Iron Knight and Moonblame remained in the tunnel, staring at the portal.They watched as the portal slowly shrank as it took the right number of Dragonkins and turned into a ball of green light."I guess that's it then," Iron Knight said, as if he was greatly tired just by leading the two groups there.Moonblame shifted as if he didn't know how to react.It was exactly when the construct moved. It was a tiny movement of changing position, but instantly Iron Knight became alert. He turned to Moonblame. "You, sunshine, or what's your name? Go on, I will meet you."Moonblame's eyes widened, but he nodded quickly and ran out of the tunnel.Iron Knight watched him go and then he turned his attention back to the construct. Surprisingly, the expression on his face right then was one that, had Quinn been here to witness it, he would have been struck dumb by surprise.The normal irritated gloomy expression on his face was gone, replaced by a respectful expression as he straightened, facing the
