How come there are succubi in this dungeon?

Chapter 11 Sacred Relics

"Hmm, it seems I don't have to worry about my dungeon being kept in captivity anytime soon."

"If they really try to surround me, I'll just concoct a strategic plan and have someone like Olya spread the word so we can break the siege."

"But let's try not to go that far."

"After all, there really are gods in this world. Whether they can interfere with the dungeon is one thing, but it would be bad if they could detect my presence."

After reviewing all the information, Caesar waved his hands, and time in the entire underground city froze, causing a giant golden pillar, several miles in diameter, to shoot straight into the sky.

"It's dawn? Didn't I just close my eyes?"

Many people in North City were awakened from their sleep, thinking that the sun had already risen.

Orlando suddenly popped his head out of the bathroom, his eyes wide open, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"The North Dungeon is going to upgrade its levels again!?"

In all honesty, his father has run into trouble these past few days, and he was just about to return to the Earl's territory when he found himself unable to leave.

He made a silent wish in his heart.

"I hope the update will be a normal level, even if it's all swamp and full of traps, and you can throw some yellow snacks in your face every now and then."

……

Caesar, of course, could not hear the voices of those outside the dungeon; he had long planned for the future of the dungeon.

First, the maximum capacity of the dungeon will be increased. Previously, the maximum capacity of the North Dungeon was 300 people, which was far too small.

Caesar directly increased this number tenfold, and correspondingly, he also expanded the size of each level of the dungeon.

Each level suddenly created a huge amount of space, which Caesar uniformly filled with simple terrain such as plains and hills.

These terrains contain no minerals or other resources, and the daily life points required are pitifully few.

Meanwhile, apart from the succubus level, the number of monsters in other levels has not increased.

The first four levels have now become a complete burden on the operation of Caesars Dungeon.

Caesar's idea was to transform the first five floors into a succubus reception area, with teleportation points everywhere, so that adventurers could teleport from the first five floors to any other floor at any time after they had had their fill of playing.

However, this idea needs to meet several prerequisites.

First, the succubi have grown up on their own and are able to conquer the first four levels independently—Caesar cannot openly clear the first four levels directly, as this would be too shocking in the dungeon.

Secondly, Caesar needs to create more special levels that adventurers will flock to.

"The earliest batch of succubi are almost level 20 now. In two months at most, they will be able to absorb essence to reach the level cap."

"Then they won't have any problem taking over the first four floors."

Caesar casually used 100,000 life points to create a thousand new succubi, ranging from legal lolis to mature and alluring women.

As for the male succubus, Caesar has discovered some things in these days.

Succubi can completely replace the function of that thing with their tails.

Even without their tails, their skills in grinding tofu and mining are highly praised by female adventurers.

Furthermore, female adventurers are more likely to accept services from the same sex.

In this era, the degree of condemnation for matters between men and women varies greatly depending on the gender, but there are few moral concerns between people of the same sex.

Given the potential risks of creating a male succubus, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Caesar and Luna decided to bury the idea of ​​a 'male succubus' deep inside.

Caesar then set about creating a new hierarchy.

The dungeon rumbled, and the seventh level was born in an instant. Caesar felt his soul essence also improve in sync. Now, the highest level that the North Dungeon can accommodate has reached [45].

Having skillfully moved his BOSS room to the seventh floor, Caesar began a crucial project for this floor update: creating a new species.

Originally, he wanted to create something called a "spirit".

Caesar has confirmed that the various equipment in this world are soulless, and there is no such thing as a "spirit".

There is something in this world that comes closest to the concept of a spirit artifact.

If equipment is crafted using the remains of legendary powerful figures, fragments of their nearly immortal souls may attach to the weapon, granting it various unknown properties.

However, this characteristic is likely to be negative, such as making users lose their minds and become a serial killer.

If the user's level is too low, their soul will likely be annihilated by the resentment of the legendary powerhouse in life.

It's not that no one has tried to imbue a weapon with a living, complete soul; without exception, all attempts have failed.

Even the most powerful alchemists cannot imbue a weapon with a living soul.

This is a consensus in the alchemy community.

But Caesar doesn't belong to the alchemy world; he's cheating.

But after he shared his knowledge from his past life with Luna, she gave him an even better idea—the relic.

[The Soul of Artifacts]

A kind of spirit being, without a physical form.

The soul form of a relic is chaotic, possessing only a general shape, such as a sword, halberd, or blade; details can change depending on the vessel it is attached to.

[An artifact's soul can only be placed on one vessel in its lifetime. Since a soul has a general form before being placed on a vessel, an artifact's soul can only choose a soulless object that is similar in form to its own soul.]

Once a vessel is selected, the artifact's spirit can amplify the vessel's abilities to a certain extent and randomly grant the weapon a special ability.

The number of artifact souls a vessel can hold depends on the quality of the vessel and the quality of the artifact souls.

[Special abilities and enhancements will appear before the artifact's spirit is fully attached to the vessel.]

……

If any of our fellow human beings on Earth were to see these descriptions, they would immediately understand that Caesar had created something utterly indescribable.

"Artifacts, oh artifacts! Warriors get HP, healers get Crit Rate..."

Caesar hummed a little tune as he completed the full adjustment of the Relic Soul race.

[Cost per artifact soul: 1000 ~ Infinite]

Because the enhancement effect of artifact souls on weapons varies, and there is also the issue of 'randomness' in granting them special abilities, the theoretical cost of artifact souls is infinite.

Before the Soul of a Relic is taken out of the dungeon or given a relic, Caesar can infuse it with life force at any time to modify its quality.

Although it's called "random," it's actually the same as a succubus lottery, with Caesar having the final say.

Speaking of gacha, Artifact Souls are naturally obtained through gacha.

In just eight days, Caesar had completely understood why the gacha system from his previous life was so popular with game developers.

"Gacha pulls, gacha pulls are the right thing to do. From now on, all the good stuff will be included in this system, hehehe..."

Caesar let out a sinister laugh and immediately added a second lottery system to the BOSS rewards.

Similar to the succubus's lottery system, adventurers need to risk their lives to participate in the lottery.

The grand prize is the ability to freely choose any individual artifact soul to form a contract with, without any restrictions.

Due to the racial characteristics of the Relic Souls, Caesar will not create special individuals.

The only change to this lottery system is the guaranteed minimum, which has been increased from 5,000 life points to 50,000 life points.

The grand prize is 500,000 points—Caesar will grant the winner a top-tier relic.
