Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

As night fell, a storm howled across the Katachon wasteland.

Just as Rogge was struggling with taking care of the baby in the dungeon.

Meanwhile, in the city of Leman, the adventurers of the SilverAsh and Ember teams were holding a celebration banquet for their successful completion of the dungeon.

"Gulp, gulp..."

Elisa downed her beer in one gulp, then slammed the glass down on the table with a thud.

Ignoring the tavern owner's protests, Elisa, slightly drunk, pulled Grace, who was sitting next to her, into her arms and began to rub the latter's face.

"If it weren't for me, Grace, you would have been resurrected too."

"Yes, I know."

Grace's speech was slurred from being rubbed, but she did not resist.

Indeed, as Elisa said, if she hadn't shielded herself with her body at the last moment, the storm that arose when the mythical lion dance beast died would have taken her away as well.

"Alright, alright." Joel, seeing that Rivers's face was gradually darkening as she sat on Grace's other side, quickly pulled Elisa away. Otherwise, he was worried that if this continued, two daggers would be held to his mage's neck.

After a pleasant meal and drinks, the highlight of the celebration banquet arrived.

That's dividing the spoils, cough cough, no, it should be divided into portions.

After clearing the food and drinks from the table, everyone began to take stock of all their spoils from the Dorne Dungeon.

Aside from the cheap, large items like sapphire crystals that can be easily chipped off from dungeon walls, and the return bone fragments that can only be used in the Dorne Dungeon.

The group also found more than twenty [Heat Stones], more than a dozen bags of [Repair Powder], and a small amount of various weapon oils, such as those for bleeding, enchanting, and poisoning, and so on.

After voting, the group decided to distribute these ordinary props using the simplest method: by headcount.

After all, "exploration achievements" are not something that can be quantified; otherwise, Galadone and River would probably have more achievements than everyone else combined.

Moreover, neither of them were the type to be arrogant or complacent, and they had no objection to this distribution method.

"And there are also bonuses from the association."

Galadon placed a large bag of gold coins on the table: "A total of 1500 coins."

Logically speaking, only a few hours have passed, so the association's rewards shouldn't have been issued so quickly.

The name "SilverGrey" naturally played a role in this.

After deducting the expenses incurred before the team's exploration and the costs of this banquet, each person will receive a "huge sum" of 150 gold coins.

The five members of the Silver-Gray Squad didn't seem to care much about it; they figured they could find the money by exploring the level 2 dungeons a few more times.

The same applies to Rivers and Grace; both of them are quite wealthy.

Only Elisa and Joel, who were used to living in poverty, quickly stuffed their portions into their clothes and covered them up.

Although the gold coins had been distributed, the looting was not yet over.

The highlight of the whole event is still those special equipment produced from the [Dorn Dungeon].

Such as amulets, weapons, and even... battle ash that can imbue weapons with combat skills.

[Divine Beast Head] Increases the wearer's Strength and Dexterity attributes and enhances the power of storms.

The [Raging Beast Amulet] can also enhance the power of storms.

The Serpent God Scimitar allows the user to use the combat technique [Whirling Slash] and draws life from wounds.

There's also the [Weaver's Song], which can summon three Weaver larvae.

Besides these four pieces of equipment, the group also found two scrolls containing learning spells during their exploration.

One of them is relatively easy to understand; it's a melee spell.

Kalia's Swift Sword

One of the spells of the Kalia royal family can form a magic sword and unleash a rapid sweeping attack, which can be used immediately after other actions.

A famous spell that is quite useful in combat.

But the other spell is a bit...

The Realm of Magic

One of the Radiant Stone spells of the Magic Academy Raya Lucaria

It can draw the academy's magic circle on the ground, and characters inside the magic circle can enhance the power of spells.

This was a magic circle that, in the past, started from the highest clock tower of the academy and covered the entire academy grounds. It could enhance inspiration and understanding when casting spells and deepen one's comprehension of magic.

The first half was fine, but the last part was somewhat unbelievable.

What does it mean to enhance inspiration and understanding when casting spells? What does it mean to deepen one's understanding of spells?

In this world, spellcasting is a science similar to science.

Every magician must start from scratch, learn and dissect, before they can use a spell freely.

The time, effort, and even financial resources consumed during this process are incalculable, since every magician has different talents.

Some magicians can learn a new spell with just one glance and use it in real combat after a few tries, while others can only barely master it even after studying desperately.

The gap between the two sides is enormous and almost impossible to narrow by any means.

Talent is something ordained by heaven; how can human effort possibly change it?

Perhaps only the goddess of magic could change a person's spellcasting talent.

But now, a spell, a spell from a level 1 dungeon! It actually claims to enhance spellcasting inspiration and deepen understanding of spells!?

"That's impossible!"

These were the first words that Elisa and Dylan, the two magicians, blurted out after seeing the description of the [Realm of Magic].

According to the description, this "Magic Realm" can even cover an area as large as an entire academy!

How terrible would that be?

Let alone the two magicians, even the other team members who didn't understand magic found it somewhat unbelievable.

【Dorn Dungeon】, it's really full of surprises.

Everyone felt a sense of shared emotion.

Regardless, everyone is currently facing a problem.

How should I allocate these four pieces of equipment: two learning magic scrolls and one piece of [Divine Beast Frost Stomp] equipment?

Given the quantity of items and the varying degrees of value of each item, it's impossible to distribute them per person like gold coins.

The nine people stared at each other, none of them speaking first, for fear of offending someone if they didn't say something right.

We're all drinking buddies, no, we're comrades-in-arms who've been through thick and thin together, and nobody wants to be the first to step forward.

Logically, in this situation, the captains of both teams should discuss and come up with a solution that is acceptable to both sides.

But Galadon isn't very good at communicating, and as for Grace, well, are you sure you want to involve a young girl who's only recently become an adventurer in such an important decision?

So in the end, this arduous task of assignment fell to Horn and Joel, two people who had more experience in their respective squads and whose personalities were relatively "normal".

We can't exactly let Dylan, with his sharp tongue, have a discussion with Elisa, who's practically a master of sharp tongues, can we? They'd probably start arguing in less than a second, and it'd end up escalating into magical insults that no one else could understand.

Aisso and Rivers? These two assassins could probably stare at each other all day without saying a word.
