I Became the Demon King of the Another World's Dungeon - Chapter 134
“Really? Of course I want to become a Dungeon Monarch. Who wouldn’t want to?”
“There was one person in the Hanuri Guild who refused.”
“Huh? Really? Why?”
Gwangsoo was surprised, as if he couldn’t believe there was actually such a person.
“He said it was because of his family.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, then that makes sense. My parents have both passed away and I have no wife or children, so it doesn’t matter to me, but there might be some people who are held back by their family.”
Gwangsoo said that during the early days of the dungeon, most of his family died in the monster outbreak, so he was all alone.
It didn’t seem like he would refuse to become a Dungeon Monarch because of his family.
“Really, back then, I thought that my life would be smooth sailing once I became an Awakener… But after seeing that my skills aren’t that great, I’ve just been struggling. Since I’m making enough to live off of in the Cheongsong Guild, they’re only sending requests to guilds that have Dungeon Monarchs, so the small and medium guilds without dungeons are dying right now.”
“That can’t be helped. But are there no stories about people scouting Dungeon Monarchs?”
“Huh? Scouting? Wow. Hyung, you just became a Dungeon Monarch, and you’re already preparing to run away? Is that why you called me, because rumors spread fast?”
Gwangsoo didn’t realize that I was looking at him, and seemed to think of me as a dungeon scammer.
“No, it’s the opposite, Inma. I’m going to make you a Dungeon Monarch, so can you leave the Cheongsong Guild? Have you ever heard of a case like this?”
“Huh? What do you mean? You’re saying you’ll scout me as a Dungeon Monarch…”
Gwangsoo stopped talking and looked around, bowing his head.
Then he carefully opened his mouth.
“Hyung, by any chance, do you have a dungeon core? Where did you get it? Right now, one dungeon core is being traded for 100 billion.”
“100 billion?”
I couldn’t believe that one dungeon core was worth 100 billion.
“Yes. Of course, that’s if it’s a proper dungeon that can produce items, but since countries and guilds are doing everything they can to increase the number of Dungeon Monarchs, they’re being traded at that price. By any chance, is the dungeon core you have the one you received from Hanuri?”
“It’s not from Hanuri, so don’t worry. So, if I make you a Dungeon Monarch, will you do it?”
“Of course I’d want to… But isn’t there a catch? You’re not going to make me a Dungeon Monarch and then tie me up and seal me away, to set me up as a totem or something, right?”
“There’s nothing like that at all. If it’s really worth 100 billion, then setting it up as a totem would be a waste.”
“Then it’s even more suspicious. Why me? You suddenly called me out, and there was the potion incident, and we’ve helped each other a lot, so it’s not a problem to meet… But you’re saying you’ll give me a dungeon worth 100 billion… This is beyond a favor. By any chance… Hyung. Is this a hidden camera?”
Gwangsoo looked around, wondering if it was a hidden camera.
“Are you saying that the Cheongsong Guild is looking at me like that?”
“What’s a hidden camera? Why would I do a hidden camera on you? And I’m not saying I’ll give it to you as a favor. I want to make a contract.”
“A contract? What kind of contract? Ah!! Is it that? A contract to remove organs? Since Dungeon Monarchs can come back to life even if they die, are you going to keep removing and selling my organs and then reviving me? Ugh, I don’t think I can do that…”
Gwangsoo spewed out an incredibly bizarre use for the dungeon.
“No, no, it’s not that. It’s just that if you become a Dungeon Monarch, you’ll become subordinate to me.”
“Subordinate? Not a slave?”
“Yes. Subordinate. In other words, I’ll have the representative rights to the dungeon.”
“Then it’s almost like becoming a colony. Hmm. I guess that’s not too bad…”
Gwangsoo pretended to ponder while glancing at me, seeming to consider something.
“I’m telling you, it’s not really brainwashing. Let’s just go. Where do you want to make your dungeon?”
“Re..really? Are you giving it to me without any conditions other than being a subordinate? I can’t believe it. And I never thought something like this would happen, so I haven’t thought about where to make it.”
As Gwangsoo pondered, I wondered if he would also have to worry about the location of his dungeon if he were to become a dungeon boss on his own.
In Young-eun’s case, she could make it inside the warehouse owned by the Hanuri Guild and receive protection from her brother or other guild members, but the location of the dungeon was a problem if she were on her own.
If she hid it in a remote area for defense, she would have a hard time obtaining points or mana to maintain the dungeon, and if she made the dungeon in a busy area for convenience, she would have to worry about defense.
As I thought about it, I wondered if it was necessary to create the dungeon on normal terrain.
What would happen if I made a dungeon inside someone else’s dungeon for safety?
It might be worth testing if a dungeon could be created within a dungeon.
“If you’re worried about the dungeon location, I have a good place. Let’s go.”
Still skeptical about the dungeon offer, Gwangsoo moved as I led him, straight to my dungeon.
“Hy..hyung!!”
Gwangsoo was terrified by the monsters swarming around me upon my return to the dungeon and hurriedly created a reed wall for defense.
“They’re all under my dungeon’s authority. They won’t attack, so it’s okay. Create your dungeon inside my dungeon. Then they’ll protect your dungeon too. Here’s the dungeon core.”
Gwangsoo received the dungeon core I handed him but couldn’t relax easily, as large monsters like wyverns and guilts were looking down at him, making him anxious.
“I..is it really okay? And can I just stick the core straight into the ground? But can a dungeon be created inside a dungeon?”
“I don’t really know either. This is the first time I’m trying to create a dungeon inside a dungeon. That’s why I’m asking you to try it. If a dungeon is created inside a dungeon, it’s optimal in terms of defense.”
Gwangsoo moved to the corner of the dungeon, watching the monsters watching him with fearful eyes, and was amazed by the houses and various structures built inside the dungeon.
He returned to his usual self when he saw a kobold picking tomatoes in the crop field, marveling at it.
“Hyung, what’s your dungeon level? How do you have a wyvern? And I see people over there. Is it possible to live in a dungeon?”
“Of course. Anything is possible in a dungeon if you have enough mana and points.”
“Wow! Awesome! Come to think of it, I’ve heard that some people who become dungeon bosses stay locked up in their dungeons for days and days without coming out, and this is why they don’t come out. I like it here. I’ll just stay here.”
『Ting! Dungeon 424539 is about to be created inside the dungeon of the new world. Dungeons created inside dungeons will be automatically subordinated to the upper dungeon. Do you wish to proceed?』
Gwangsoo carefully read the notification window that popped up before him.
And since he had heard about the subordination part beforehand, he proceeded without hesitation.
『Dungeon 424539 has been created. The power of Savona, the Demon God of the Demon Realm, seeps into the dungeon. The dungeon editor is activated. The dungeon’s mana…』
Gwangsoo carefully examined the information that appeared before his eyes as if it were floating.
And he was surprised by the power surging through his body.
“That core was for a dungeon related to the sea.”
Since it was a dungeon core obtained from the North Pole ice dungeon, he thought it would be of the ice element, but it was a dungeon related to the sea.
If he were active in the sea, it would be helpful, but since most dungeons are on land, it didn’t seem like it would be of much help.
However, the goal of adding a magic-type dungeon boss seemed to have been achieved to some extent.
Entering Gwangsoo’s dungeon, it was a sandy island that wasn’t even 10 pyeong in size.
And the seawater that was turning that sandy island into an island was filled like a swimming pool.
“Hahaha. You can sunbathe properly, right? But, they say the dungeon could collapse due to lack of magic power after a month.”
After giving Gwangsoo magic and points, I summoned basic monster fangs and strengthened them through synthesis.
Perhaps due to the low dungeon attack, in Gwangsoo’s dungeon, monster synthesis reinforcement could be done four times.
“Wow! Brother, the dungeon level has increased again. Wow, magic and points are accumulating again. Ddaebak! I’ve never heard of such a level up. Moreover, to synthesize a Two-Headed Mullet through synthesis reinforcement, this is innovation!”
“Innovation, what’s that. Since we can’t do any more synthesis reinforcement, try summoning other monsters and changing the dungeon interior with points. And most importantly, think about whether as a wizard, you can create synergy as a dungeon boss.”
“Yes sir! Loyalty, loyalty!”
“And, since you can go back and forth between the dungeon and Earth anytime, create a personal dungeon alliance in Earth.”
“Personal dungeon alliance? Why is that? Wasn’t I going to the Hanwoori Guild?”
“Don’t go to Hanwoori, you need to create a personal dungeon alliance. For balance.”
“Balance?”
“Yes. There may be almost none now, but surely there will be individuals who obtain dungeons and become dungeon bosses. We need to gather those people to create an alliance.”
“Ah, creating a gathering of individuals to act as balance weights here and there.”
“Exactly. Any country or guild may end up clearing out dungeons. In that case, we need an alliance of individuals to check those countries or guilds.”
“Alright, I understand what you mean. Leave it to me! Not to brag, but I have a really wide network.”

“Please wait here for a moment. The official in charge will be here soon.”
Eunbora, who became the guild leader of Changseong Guild, hurriedly flew to New York after receiving a call from the UN.
The Korean government said that there was something to confirm regarding Sim Mu-young’s case, but Eunbora judged that they called her to interrogate her.
And upon seeing the person entering the room, she quickly stood up.
“Hahaha. You don’t need to be so tense. We’re on the same side, right? I’m Jima Choph, a special official for dungeon countries. I’m now working for the UN, not the demons.”
Eunbora was astonished at the sight of Jima Choph taking out his business card and pulling out a notebook for dictation.
It was unbelievable to her that an Awakener who had participated in resurrecting the enemy of humanity, the demons, was now an official of the UN.
“I know what you’re thinking. But, I’ve turned over a new leaf. I’m now just an employee of the UN. You never know how a person’s life will change, right? Like how Sim Mu-young turned into a Rampage Monster. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s true. So, what do you need me to confirm?”
“I received a letter saying that Drake went crazy for Sim Mu-young. Of course, I also received a copy of the letter through the Korean government. But, what was the red gem that was received along with it? Was it a dungeon core?”
“It wasn’t a core. This was
