The next morning, Daniel woke up with a feeling of lightness in his heart, which contradicted what his body was feeling.
The weight on top of himself, now seeming somewhat familiar, was explained by the fact that a certain someone was actually laying down on top of him, and of course, it was the same princess that he would spoil with care.
" ... Good morning Celeste. "
After yawning, he opened his eyes and looked down at the girl that had used her tight mouth on him the last night a few times, getting the nourishment that was needed to feed the Slime Women on the island with them, and of course, she was also looking at him.
Not far from the both of them, the other monsters were also resting, apparently waiting for him to wake up as well, but removing his stare from them as soon as he sensed danger, he then looked down at the smaller yet more perfect version of them.
" .. Alright, I get it, now, sit down. "
And with a simple order on his side, the Slime Princess stopped pouting and sat down on top of him, which made him regret his order the next moment as the position was too daring for him to unsee it.
Surely, she wasn't wearing the vest properly, as once again, it wasn't closed, and the sight of her naked body on top of his manhood was way too exciting in the morning for him to just ignore it as well, but it wasn't as if he could just do it and ruin his morning, if not the rest of his day by using his life energy and needing some rest after.
" ... System, open the Dungeon's Shop for me. "
Celeste, on top of him, looked at him curiously as she couldn't understand those words, but with the window opening in front of his eyes and hiding her body behind it, at least, he was somewhat relieved about it, enough so that he could actually sit down as well and gently hug her, now not needing the Shop's window to blind his vision.
" Let's see, I should buy some land today, and maybe a building if I can... "
However, he didn't just bring up the Shop just for the show, and this time, he wanted to see what he would need to actually summon other monsters, which would surely give him more points as well.
Choosing the land option first, he then looked at the prices, only to be shocked by what he was seeing.
[ Sand ground ( 5m² ) - Not stable - 10 points. ]
[ Dirt ground upgrade ( 5m² ) - Stable - 50 points. ]
[ Stone ground upgrade ( 5m² ) - Really stable - 500 points. ]
Those three options were made to expand the poor island he was on top of along to reinforce it, and were also used to welcome various buildings from what the System told him when he asked about it, but what was surprising, besides for the cheap price of sand, was the next part.
[ Specific ground upgrade, Lake - 10,000 points. ]
[ Specific ground upgrade, Volcano - 10,000 points. ]
[ Specific ground upgrade, Mountain - 10,000 points. ]
[ Specific ground upgrade, Forest - 10,000 points. ]
Those weren't made to spawn a forest, a volcano or else, instead, it was made to welcome them, and each would need for him to make them, which was the scary part as he would need even more points than that.
" ... Yeah, I definitely need to avoid that for now, sand or dirt foundations sounds good for the current me as well, but what about the buildings ? "
Keeping a tight embrace on the slime girl inside his arms, he then switched to the option below, and there, it was at least much more welcoming, and had also more variety of things.
[ Special building, Sand hut - 500 points and sand ground needed - will unlock the Lamia race. ]
[ Special building, Stables - 1,000 points and dirt ground needed - will unlock the Centaur race. ]
[ Special building, Hive - 2,500 points and dirt ground needed - will unlock the Insectoid race. ]
[ Special building, Cave - 5,000 points and stone ground needed - will unlock the Arachne race. ]
[ Special building, Manor - 10,000 points and stone ground needed - will unlock the Vampire race. ]
But only those five managed to retain his attention, as they were the only ones that would enable him to unlock new races of monsters on his territory, and while some of them were questionable, since he knew that they couldn't hurt him and that he couldn't die, he wasn't that bothered by them in the end.
No, instead, it should be correct to say that he was a bit excited about it, after all, if it was really that kind of dungeon, he wished to see every monsters that he could get.
Yet, before he could think of buying them like that, he had to take a look at the Slime Princess that he was holding in his arms.
After all, would she let him play with another monster ?
Knowing her personality, being afraid of losing him, he knew that the answer was a complete no, and while monsters other than slimes wouldn't listen to her, probably, he still didn't wish to put her against his back, so he had to find a solution, and that came as the form of teaching.
If she grew enough so that she could understand everything, or at least, most of what he would say, wouldn't that do the trick ?
And now, the question was how to do such a trick, until he remembered the other Slime Women that weren't standing that far from them, also looking at him.
' She should accept her own race before accepting others, so let's do things in order... '
To do that, he quickly got an idea, about to first make her closer than the member of her own race, not necessarily as a friend, but maybe as a great leader would be good enough, as to how she would lead them ?
The answer to that was simple.
" .. Alright Celeste, can you get up ? "
To his words, the Slime Princess quickly reacted as he removed his arms from around her and got up in front of him, looking down to his face with curiosity as if she was guessing what he would do next.
But getting up first and then stretching himself properly under the stare of the monsters, he didn't plan to move yet, as before starting his quest, he had things to do with the shop window that would follow in his field of vision.
" Alright, let's spend 50 points to extend the Dungeon, and the last 500 points to buy new Slime Women.. "
Buying the land wasn't complicated, a single tap of his finger, and the need to tell the System where it wished the island to grow, and since he didn't want a square island, he asked something a bit more difficult to do, but which was still acceptable.
" Say system, can you use the land I bought to extend the island in a circular shape ? "
[ The Dungeon System can do it. ]
Upon receiving confirmation, he didn't hesitate anymore and asked for it, and then, there was a magical sight that happened in front of him.
Like the waves of the sea hitting against the shore, the sand, as if coming from below the ground in an infinite manner, slowly raised itself before falling on top of the waves, burrying them below the new land and extending the current ground he was walking on by at least 50%.
[ The Dungeon has correctly been updated, the current land of the Dungeon was extended to 75m². ]
With the system's notice that resounded inside of his head, Daniel just stood there, dumbfounded, while the monsters looked around after the sudden evenement, before looking back at him as well, guessing that it was his doing, though he didn't do anything besides for choosing that it would happen.
" ... Well, that's one way of doing it, that's for sure. "
Since he couldn't say anything bad about it, besides for the fact that it looked way too grand to be just a small upgrade, he then caressed the back of his head in embarrassment while using his other hand to move accordingly through the shop.
" Just place them here. "
And with a single command on his side, he used even more of his points to create another five Slime Women under the astonished expression of the monsters, while Celeste didn't seem too happy with it.
Looking back at him with grief in her eyes, as if asking if five of them wasn't enough, he could only close the Dungeon's Shop window before lowering himself and patting her head, making sure that she received his attention to try and calm her down, before trying to explain with whatever words or actions that he needed more monsters to extend his territory.
