My World to Free-use

218: Aunt…?

One measly level after a whole dungeon. It didn’t take too long to clear it, but it wasn’t like I could do more dungeons. The other dungeon I had been in was an A rank, from what I heard later.As for the rest, there was only one B rank, but it was clear just a day before yesterday, so there were little to no monsters in there, and the rest were also C rank, and they were occupied. This one was the only one that could be prepared hastily without hindering the progress of the city.

If I were a real royal, well, I was to them, but if I were here officially, then it would have been a different matter. But I was here in secret, so they couldn’t make a fuss on the royal level, could they? Might as well just announce I was here otherwise.

Anyway, there was nothing to gain from Cartwright’s city anymore. Returning was the best option.

It took us three days to reach the city, about two days to do what I was here for, and then three more days to return.

We were back at the Carlson estate in about nine days.

Too bad we couldn’t go to any other city for some dungeon hunting because, for one, there weren’t that many, and two, they couldn’t be arranged on such short notice without making a fuss, and if it was revealed that I wasn’t Elara’s student, much less a royal…

Yeah, I would have more problems on my hands that I’d be able to handle.

Better not to push it.

Besides, this was only one kingdom. There weren’t many dungeons here. I heard there’s an empire on this continent, too, but this kingdom doesn’t answer to it as its neighboring nations do, probably because of Elara.

Anyway, I would need SSS rank dungeons in the future, which this kingdom wouldn’t be able to provide, so after becoming the king, I should aim for the empire.

And let’s not forget about the church too.

The crown, the god, and the gold.

These were the three superpowers in this world. In any world. You wanna be truly fearless and unhindered, then not leave even one of them as a variable.

I’ll handle the crown and the gold part, but the church wouldn’t be an easy opponent to deal with.

After all, people hate the merchant and the crown, but God was an existence everyone loved. I stand against the church; I stand against the people.

What was next, massacring the whole world?

Not possible.

Had to think of the alternatives.

And the best one I had in mind was not something I could fully commit to at the moment. My level was too low for that. I needed to be at the very least level 400 to even attempt that method. Best wait until then and increase my power.

Anyway, after returning to the Carlson estate, I was hoping to get some pussy action.

Maybe a foursome with my family, or with the two best asses in my knowledge, Rayla and Valeria. Or maybe all of them at once, I could certainly do it.

But maybe I had offended the goddess of luck somehow, or used all of my luck to bag a mother as hot as Rayla, and even fuck her, leaving me with nothing but bad luck.

“You shall remain here for the next three weeks. I heard my husband tried to end your life on this expedition.”

Elara said, using the little moment we had together while Fiona was not around.

As expected, it was Carlson. And there was no guarantee he wouldn’t try something else while I was in his home at that.

I wonder if my family was safe too?

Ah, must act betrayed. Necessary for my act.

“I have arranged for your family to leave for my maiden estate. They should stay safe there with Valeria. The problem at the moment is you. I cannot let you go with them, as you have to join us on this expedition. The spell wouldn’t work if you’re not in the vicinity.”

Does that mean Valeria isn’t going? Maybe for the better. Don’t know if she would be able to survive a battle of that scale with her low level.

I would be fine, and Elara would keep me safe as well. She just needed me in range, as I was the link to cast the spell she had already prepared.

But it wouldn’t work if I died or wasn’t in range, so I would have to take care of that on my own.

And so, once again, I was forced into celibacy for three weeks. The only respite this time was that I was focused on my problems more at the moment to feel as much lust.

Bringing the corrupted S rank mana crystal from my inventory, I began to check it.

The system description only said it was a corrupted mana crystal, and after purifying it, it would return to its normal rank, which was an A rank. The same would be with the other one.

But what if I could use it in another way? What if, instead of just purifying the corrupted energy, I could use it somehow?

It could help. But I wasn’t too sure. I didn’t have the poisonous physique, so absorbing it was out of the question. I could only make a weapon out of it at the moment, and even that wouldn’t be useful for a wide range of effects. I needed to somehow use it like a dart on only one person for it to have a full effect.

So, let’s use this skill for the first time in a while.

[Creation]

~~

Three weeks flew by in an instant.

And no, I wasn’t joking.

Sure, nothing in this life could be better than having sex as much as you want, but even I knew that there were some things besides sex I would have to focus on.

Such as my life. If I weren’t alive, then how the hell would I have unlimited sex?

Anyway, the three weeks were actually shorter than I expected.

I couldn’t make a few things, but I did make quite a lot. Aside from using the corrupt mana crystals or the shop coins, I used everything else in my inventory as a substitute for the creation skill.

A life and death battle was coming ahead. It didn’t make sense to hold something back. Nothing would be of use to me if I ended up dead.

Creation was a broken skill that bypassed the need for all type of utility skills such as blacksmithing, alchemy and more.

It was like hitting a button in a game and leaving the rest to luck. Only in this case, my luck was shitty these days, so I faced a few setbacks, but I managed to create a few amazing things.

First of all were the potions. I made many high-level mana and HP potions. I made sure to have 100,000 of each and removed their side effects so I could drink them without reserve, although that lessened their recovery effect considerably.

The next thing I made for myself was a full set of armor. I used the minotaur’s bones and hide, along with the wolves I had killed back in the cursed forest, to make the armor from head to toe.

For the sword, I used the bones of different attack-type monsters and made one from them. I lost a few, but the result in the end was satisfactory.

Finally, I made some scrolls for quick spells. They wouldn’t be as strong as the spells cast through the system, but I could at least use them instantly without wasting any mana.

I had about 100,000 of those too. A little more, actually, since that was what I was making at the end with whatever I had remaining.

Finally, it came down to the two corrupted crystals. I didn’t sell the crystals, since I could use them as a mana potion substitute, but it was for another reason why I didn’t sell these two in particular.

[Unknown signature]

There was a seal on these crystals, as if someone had stamped them with their mark.

Who was it? It could be a clue to finding who was behind corrupting that dungeon.

I doubt it was Carlson. I don’t think he has a talent for this. He must have employed a special curse user.

The signature wasn’t familiar, so it wasn’t the same person who cursed the queen. This one was someone else. Someone far more dangerous than the last one.

Finally, with all my preparations done, I simply waited for the day of the battle to come.

But, the day came two days sooner when a maid came to fetch me.

“Someone I know?” I asked.

“They say they’re your relatives.”

“My relatives?”

Even if they were, how were they able to get in here? Even if I didn’t ask, I was answered quickly.

“They were servants of the crown, so we had to let them in. I wonder why they came here, though, and not to the royal castle.”

Yeah, I wonder too.

And my wondering ended when…

“Jack!”

…a familiar voice called my name.

“Aunt?”
