I Became the Demon King of the Another World's Dungeon - Chapter 133
The four translucent, faintly shimmering ghosts gathered together and became even more transparent, to the point where they were almost invisible at a glance.
“They have the ability to forcibly put their target to sleep. Then I should name them Sleep Ghosts. Oh! I got another bonus for naming them. How many times can I benefit from this fusion enhancement and naming? Do I keep getting benefits?”
Young-eun was delighted as she continued to receive bonus alerts for fusion enhancement and naming.
“Fusion enhancement varies depending on the situation, but it’s usually limited to two or three times. If the monster being fused is stronger than the Dungeon Master, the fusion won’t happen. There are also a few other limitations. You can keep naming them, but the bonus will naturally disappear once you have a certain number of monsters.”
“Wow, then naming them is the best. They don’t get any skills or anything. I should tell my brother.”
“But there’s also a downside. If a named monster is killed in battle, the Dungeon Master takes a hit. It can cause some mental damage.”
“Oh… It’s like the damage you take when your pet dies. So it has its pros and cons.”
“And give your dungeon a name. It’s better to have a dungeon name than a number name.”
“Hmm. I don’t think I’ll name it something fancy or cute. Hmm. I’ll just call it Hanuri Dungeon 5. I can change the name anytime, right? And fuse this Illusionary Horse, too. I wish it would turn into a winged Pegasus. Can’t I fuse it the way I want?”
“Fusion is random. I don’t know how it will fuse either.”
After listening to Young-eun, I thought it would be nice if it fused into a winged horse too.
However, an alarm popped up saying that the Illusionary Horse couldn’t be fused.
『Warning! Fusion enhancement cannot be executed.
Dungeon monsters cannot be fusion enhanced into a species that is stronger than the Dungeon Master.』
“Unfortunately, it says that the Illusionary Horse is stronger than you, so it can’t be fused.”
“That’s too bad. Still, after fusing it twice, the names of monsters that couldn’t be summoned have been activated. Nightmare Bat? I’ll summon it.”
When Young-eun summoned the Nightmare Bat, a large bat the size of a young child was summoned. It looked scary with its burning red eyes and hideous black fur.
And this guy also had the ability to forcibly put people to sleep. Since it was Succubus’s dungeon, it seemed to have a lot of sleep-related abilities.
“And if another Dungeon Master enters your dungeon, a window will pop up asking if you want to have a dungeon battle. So if possible, don’t let anyone, even from the same guild, enter your dungeon. Don’t let your guard down even though there’s a UN law.”
“Even my brother?”
“Dungeon Masters you can trust like family are fine, but don’t let anyone else enter your dungeon. First, you need to create terrain features like the rock you made earlier in case of an accident. I’ll create the basic defense facilities.”
I made the dungeon entrance like a maze with the dungeon editor and placed the goblin Durahan and Sleep Ghosts, which I named Dislike.
Their physical defense seemed weak, so I summoned two each of Guilty and Sadhu from my dungeon and placed them as well.
“Wow! That fur giant and the lizard look really strong.”
“They’ll probably be able to block most Awakeners.”
“Huh? What’s that bat? Is Young-eun’s dungeon a bat dungeon?”
“Uh… It’s a bat dungeon.”
Young-eun hesitated for a moment because she felt guilty about lying to her own brother, but she told him it was a bat dungeon as I had instructed.
“Okay. Okay. It’s a good combination now that you have a monster that can attack from the sky. So now that our Hanuri Guild has six Dungeon Masters, we can make a deal with the government. When there are five Dungeon Masters, the government’s support changes. Can I add your name to our guild, Inho?”
“Yes. You can add me.”
“Okay.Then,you’reapart of Hanuri Guild now.And both of you prepare to go to Australia. Sim Muyoung is going there to deal with an incident that happened in the dungeon with him as the guardian.”
Kwon Youngil was happy that Hanuri was the only Korean guild with six dungeon masters.
He was happy and kept going on about how they were the second best guild in the world, next to the Russian and Irish guilds, and that they could make deals with the government.
While he was doing that, he wondered what kind of dungeon Andrea of the Irish guild had.
All the dungeon cores he had gotten from the Demon King’s dungeon were of the dark attribute, so he wondered how Andrea had made that kind of dungeon suitable for the Golden Lion.
“So,the defense facility will be like this, and I’ll make you a house to stay in the dungeon.”
“A house?Is it possible to build a house inside the dungeon?”
“Ofcourseitispossible.”
Iwanted to move all the crops and living facilities from my dungeon, but I was afraid that I would be questioned by others, so I just summoned a log house.
“Oh!Thisis a European hunter’s cabin. It even has furniture. This is the best!IthinkI’llbe able to live here without going outside.”
“That’sright.As long as you have the magic power to maintain the dungeon, you don’t have to go outside the dungeon.”
“Ah,maintenancecost…Then,all the Korean dungeon masters will participate in this expedition to Australia.Everyone will need points and magic power.”
“Probably.But even if you need points or magic power, you shouldn’t step up.Dungeon Masters are said to be immortal, but if you die and come back to life, there is a penalty that reduces your ability.”
“The dungeon will weaken if you die once.And if it gets weak, you won’t be able to accumulate points or magic power…Then, the dungeon will eventually close.Whew.Dungeon management isn’t easy.”
Young-eunsaid she had a lot to do and lay down on the bed.
“Oh,right.My brother is thinking about whether to designate an Awakener as the dungeon guardian or a sister to marry.If you designate them as a guardian, you can live together forever.Which do you think is better?”
“Butno matter how well a couple gets along, there will be problems.If they have a big fight and the Dungeon Master cancels the guardian, they may die because their life span is over.And it will be difficult to fight with the guardian.”
“Hmm.Then,what about designating Inho-ssi as the dungeon guardian?Is it possible between dungeon masters?”
“Well,I don’t know about that.It’s probably possible, but I’ll protect you for the rest of my life without anything like that.”
As he spoke, he quietly lay down next to Young-eun.
“Really?Promiseme.”
“Instead of a promise like that, let’s just get married.That’s it.Holdme.”
“Tsk.That’s a really unromantic proposal.”
“This is how you create romance.”
He darkened the dungeon with the dungeon editor and quietly hugged her.
Young-eun also didn’t refuse, and the two of them began to engage in primitive acts.
『Ta-ring!A union between dungeon masters that has not happened for an eternity has occurred.This is the first event to occur since the creation of the dungeon in the demon world.The ancient gods of the dungeon watch over the first unique event.』
“What?Watch over?”
Without a word, they both stopped what they were doing and got dressed.
『Congratulations on the union between dungeon masters.The ancient gods will support you with dungeon points and magic power.』
“What the hell is this!This isn’t even an adult broadcast!”
“Butwhen something happens for the first time in a dungeon, this kind of event happens?I got more magic power and points than when I did the composite enhancement.”
“If it’s an event that didn’t exist in the previous dungeon, there will be a reward.Of course, the ancient gods of the dungeon won’t be watching like they did just now.”
“Wow!This is a way to get points that you would have to get by killing hundreds of monsters.This is great information!You can get points and magic power from life or other activities without fighting monsters.I have to tell my brother right away.”
“He went to meet with the government people, so tell him when he comes back.Let’s be alone until then.”
When he tried to get out of bed, Young-eun grabbed him and sat him down again.Pretending not to be able to resist, Young-eun returned to bed.
Uncomfortable as it was to hide under the covers so he couldn’t be seen from above, the succubus’s skills were amazing enough to completely offset such a handicap.

“Regrettably, all of the major cities in Australia have been destroyed. The Commonwealth Awakened of Australia and New Zealand tried to stop it somehow, but they were unable to block Drake’s Breath.”
UN Secretary-General Vitchel seemed to share the grief of this tragedy as he bit his lip and took some time to reflect in silence.
“When the Demon King descended, we considered them to be friends and allies of humanity because we fought together, but this time it has been revealed that Demon Kings who are not human are ultimately enemies of humanity. We ask for the help of Demon Kings and Awakened worldwide so that we can defeat the enemies of humanity. Please come forward so that humanity can take back Australia from the monsters of the dungeon…”
“One good thing about becoming a Demon King is that you can understand all languages right away. It’s convenient to be able to understand what the UN Secretary-General is saying right away.”
“I’m really envious of you because I have to read subtitles. But why do you think the Demon Kings will come forward even if Secretary-General Vitchel doesn’t come forward and ask for help?”
“That’s because of the dungeon maintenance cost. In order to collect magic or points in a dungeon, you have to hunt monsters from other dungeons, so everyone has to come forward even if you tell them not to. Plus, the number of dungeons has increased, but the number of dungeons that can be raided is limited. So everyone has no choice but to go to Austria.”
“The UN law that prevents human-owned dungeons from fighting each other must have also had an effect.”
“That’s right. Since dungeons are limited and human dungeons can’t fight each other, they have to come forward for something like this. The UN’s power will probably only get stronger.”
“I guess so. And the guild leader said that they recruited two more Demon Kings, so that makes six, right? Doesn’t that make them the single largest guild in the country, if not in Asia?”
“Yeah. But since there are six of them, their maintenance costs will be huge. I don’t know what will happen later, but maybe they’ll end up operating a dungeon that they flood regularly in order to maintain it.”
“That will cause chaos.”
“Looking at what happened in Australia, chaos may have already begun.”
Listening to the conversation between guild members in the break room operated by the Hanuri Guild, I could tell that the number of dungeons was about to become both a strength and a weakness.
Of course, it would depend on the dungeon’s rank, skills, and monsters, but since it was a number that could be seen right away, it was bound to be a concern.
‘I have four dungeons under my command in the Otherworld, but I only have one on Earth, in Antarctica, so it might be good to increase the number of dungeons under my command.’
I started to think that it would be more profitable to create and operate a dungeon than to just hold onto a dungeon core.
However, I couldn’t think of anyone who I could give a dungeon core to and make into a Demon King.
‘The people in the Hanuri Guild or the Awakened from other large guilds won’t become my people even if I give them a dungeon core. The best people would be those from small guilds or those who have just become Awakened, and those who have a personal relationship with me… Ah!’
A person who fit that criteria perfectly came to mind.

“Inho-hyung. I heard a rumor that you received a dungeon core from the Hanuri Guild and became a Demon King. Is that true?”
I met Cheongsong Guild’s Gwangsoo, and as soon as I sat down, he asked me if the rumor was true.
It seemed like the information had leaked while Kwon Young-il was negotiating benefits with the government based on the number of Demon Kings in the guild.
Since the information was distorted in a way that didn’t need to be corrected, I nodded.
“It’s all thanks to my girlfriend. Hehehe.”
“Wow! I’m so jealous. I guess you have to meet a good woman rather than go around looking for low-rank dungeons to become a Demon King. Boo hoo, I’m so jealous.”
“Do you want to become a Demon King?”
