No one knows when the dungeon shop first appeared within the demon world.
There are some that say 1,000 years ago and others that say that it appeared way before then.
They were baseless assumptions.
The history of the shop didnât matter because, at this point, the dungeon shop was a necessity within the demon world.
It was different from the Virtual Space where the entire room was white.
The sky was on fire and the color of the walls was so black that it seemed like they were made from hardened lava.
The Pentagram Council.
The five giants that controlled the dungeon shop.
They were the Board of Directors, to be exact.
Like the name states, a pentagram was drawn on the floor by lava and a chair was placed in each of the corners. The Board of Directors were the only ones that sat in those chairs.
âThe King of Pride is gathering soldiers. A big war may break out soon in the northeast.â
With a low voice, a large, red Orobas pointed to the map that was materialized in the center of the pentagram and spoke.
Out of the many Demon Princes within the demon world, he was one of them and out of the demons that the dungeon shop possessed, they were known to have superhuman strength.
They were wearing a neat tuxedo and had a pigâs head and a bulky body. They looked odd, but at the same time, it matched.
Orobas had six horns and managed the dungeon shop that was located in the north. To their right, a man with a spider head spoke softly.
âThe King of Envy is also gathering soldiers. I think they found out that theyâve been targeted by the King of Pride. Within this month, theyâve already purchased 20,000 Skeleton Warriors.â
He was known to be the intelligent one in the group and had a body that was similar to a spiderâs. Even though they looked like a human, there are rumors that his true form is a big spider thatâs larger than a mountain.
His name was Bifrons. He also managed the north of the demon world along with Orobas.
The King of Envy was purchasing a large amount of Skeleton Warriors.
Despite this sensitive information, the one that sat on the left side of Orobas started chuckling.
It was Abraxas and he was known to have the strongest mana and also managed the western part of the demon world.
He had the head of a rooster and on top, had seven horns. Both of his legs were large snakes and each had a different poison.
They spoke sarcastically.
âThatâs the King of Envy for ya. Quantity over quality, right?â
âItâs too early to make a hasty conclusion. This is a war between kings. 20,000 soldiers canât be considered a lot.â
Bifron alerted Abraxasâs hasty conclusion. Orobas looked at the demon world map again and asked.
âWhat about the other kings?â
âThe Queen of Wrath is curled up, which is unlike her. The King of Lust is busy as usual because of the Witchesâ Sabbath.â
The one that answered was Samael, who was sitting on the right side of Bifron and was known to have the fastest wings. She was the queen of the Harpies and she had gold hair that matched her beautiful face, but had black wings that didnât match with her beauty.
Orobas tilted his head.
âAnd Gluttony?â
âIt doesnât look like theyâre going to sit by and watch. Theyâre quietly increasing the numbers of high-ranked spirits. Couple of days ago, I found out through an agent that the King of Gluttony may have purchased a Bone Dragon.â
The demons that possessed the Seven Deadly Sins.
The six demons that controlled the demon world were busily moving around under the surface.
Abrasax shrugged his shoulders.
âThe one king that doesnât posses one of the deadly sinsâŚwe donât have to worry about the King of Violence, right? It seems like theyâre still asleep.â
Out of six kings that controlled the demon world, the King of Violence was the only one that didnât have the power of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Orobas touched his chin.
âThen, is the King of Sloth the last one we should watch out for?â
âSheâs always been lazy.â
Samael smiled softly as if it was a joke.
Orobas was satisfied with Samaelâs answer. He leaned his large body against the chair and spoke quietly.
âThe power of the six kings are similar. Thatâs why itâs well-balanced right now. Even though the King of Pride is trying to break that balance, they wonât be able to do anything unexpected. No matter how strong he is, he canât take on the other five kings by himself. Itâs a good thing. Unless someoneâŚsomeone thatâs strong enough to defeat one of the kings comes along, this wonderful balance will surely continue.â
The dungeon shop didnât desire just one king. The conflict between the kings is what caused the dungeon shops to be created.
Bifron and Abraxas agreed as well. The other directors felt the same and they smiled.
But one. There was one that had a different smile.
âMiss Sitri?â
Samael called out quietly and looked at the last, best director.
The red-headed Sitri.
The beautiful Sitri answered while touching her chin. Her eyes were on the map.
âNo, itâs nothing. Itâs just fun.â
Her vague answer made Samael tilt his head. He looked at the map as well and tried to figure out her intention.
Sitri was looking at southern part which was empty.
It was the King of Greedâs land, who controlled one fourth of the demon world and was the greatest demon in the demon world.

âA wild dungeon monster appeared!â
âTwo Crazy Ants and one Slime!â
Yong-Ho, who was the King of Greed, frowned when he heard the Spirit of the Dungeonâs energetic voice.
Front.
As they stated, the monster that they mentioned was before him.
Two red ants that were the size of a large dog and a round slime that reminded him of tree sap were in front of him.
Encountering a monster was understandable. He welcomed it since fighting can increase his development rate. However, there was one thing that made Yong-Ho think.
âWhy are there monsters in my dungeon?!â
The monsters in front of him werenât spirits.
They were monsters that didnât have an owner. The Spirit of the Dungeon and Yong-Ho shared a part of their knowledge, and according to the spirit, they were nothing more than ants and cockroaches that you see at home.
They werenât really important to the dungeon.
Those types of monsters donât exist in ordinary dungeons and even if they do appear, theyâre usually taken care of right away.
âThe ants are the worst ones.â
Itâs not that he especially disliked ants. Actually, they were better than cockroaches. However, the issue was the lifestyle of their kind.
Like the ants in the human world, they were busy in the demon world as well. A large ant colony might exist underneath the dungeon.
âMaster! Concentrate!â
After hearing Catalinaâs stern voice, Yong-Ho erased his distracting thoughts. While looking towards the front, he spoke as he put strength into the hand that was holding Aamon.
âIâll take the Slime. Catalina and Skull, take care of the ants.â
âUnderstood.â
âSkull, skull.â
Catalina and the Skeleton Soldier, Skull, answered. They ran towards the ants.
Two days ago. In order to increase the dungeonâs defense, Yong-Ho decided to focus on working on the dungeonâs facility rather than evolving the spirits.
Despite that, he used the Power of Evolution and evolved just one spirit and that was the Skeleton Soldier, Skull.
They were low level spirits and workers, but they didnât have any specialized evolution like the Goblins. However, when he first evolved them, their rank increased to Skeleton Soldier.
Yong-Ho equipped the soldier with the hammer that the enemy used and named them Skull.
Death Knight was considered the highest rank amongst the Skeletons and he planned on evolving them to that rank, so he wanted to give them a special name, but simplicity was the best.
Catalina was able to take down a Crazy Ant with one attack. However, instead of attacking the other monsters, she watched Skull fight. Itâs because Skull had to increase their development rate through the battle.
âThe same applies to me.â
Yong-Ho looked at the Slime that was gliding on the ground and focused.
Aamon was known for burning the sky and evaporating the sea with just one swing.
For Yong-Ho, performing that kind of task was a bit too much. However, he was still able to use a bit of Aamonâs power.
âJust one attack!â
Yong-Ho kicked off the ground. It mustâve noticed that Yong-Ho targeted them because it released acid fluid. It was fast and strong. If it touched him, it would melt away his skin and bone.
However, Yong-Ho easily dodged their attack. He leaned his body to the side, kicked off the ground and shortened the distance between him and the Slime.
âHa!â
He used Aamon and pierced through the Slimeâs body. When it pierced through the center, he released his mana.

Flames bursted inside their body. The green flame enveloped the Slimeâs entire body.
Because of their strong acid and mucus, the Slime was able to neutralize most physical attacks, but they couldnât do anything about Aamonâs flames.
Yong-Ho smiled and after pulling Aamon out, he stretched his back. Feeling satisfied, him and Catalina exchanged glances several times and then watched Skull fight a Crazy Ant.
Two days after the first attack.
Yong-Ho was looking for the armory that belonged to the owner three generations ago.
