My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

Chapter 187



“I still think I should stay up,” I muttered to myself.

“It’s okay, Master.” Lydia reassured me, “The skill Alarm will tell me if anyone comes anywhere near our tent. The Adventurers showed me before we left how to set it up to detect specifically larger creatures, so it won’t be triggered by something like a rodent or a bug.”

“Yeah, well, that’s why it kind of bothers me.” I sighed.

We had usually set up watches in the dungeons. Only occasionally would we depend on the holy circle barrier as our only means of protection as we all slept. It was probably sufficient enough, but it still left me worried that a monster would attack at night. However, as much as this world was like a game, animals were animals and people were people. Monsters might be a little bit more aggressive than animals, but typically if you left them alone and didn’t encroach on their space, they left you alone too.

It was as unlikely to experience wolf attacks in this world just as much as in my other world. Most monsters remained near their dungeons, so unless you were in a wild area, you weren’t like to see them. Within a country’s borders, where every dungeon was closely guarded, this was doubly true. In fact, the biggest worry was bandits, and even bandits only struck when they thought it was worth it and rarely would attack people at night. At least, that was what I had been told.

Either way, I wasn’t used to walking in the sun all day and was feeling a bit tired. I was overweight, but it was like I was averse to exorcise in my old world. I just happened to really like sugary and fast food. Weeks of walking around dungeons and eating on the run had helped me lose the weight, but that hadn’t really turned me into a marathon walker. Twelve hours of walking was twelve hours of walking. It was better than having to take care of a horse, but it still left me wanting to sleep the whole night without interruptions.

It wouldn’t be fair to expect the girls to take breaks instead of me, and that’s how we ended up on the topic of her skill known as Alarm. She had picked it up as a scout. You could basically set a proximity line, that if crossed, would signal the person. Is a perfect skill for this kind of thing, and quite safe according to the Adventurers. Nine out of ten times it was usually just a fox anyway. On top of that, I had my map and Sense Life. If anything got close to us, I could see it, presuming my eyes were open.

I decided to just trust in the magic and skills of this world. In the end, exhaustion overtook my worry, and I drifted off to sleep. I wasn’t sure what I dreamed, but it was probably good. That was until I was awoken to somebody shaking me in worry.

“M-master!” Lydia whispered, “Someone has triggered the alarm!”

I sighed. “Just my luck.”
