Dungeon Diver: Stealing a Monster's Power

Chapter 165

"... and enter another Titan's Domain..."

As I speak these words, the thought of going back into that white-walled prison makes my stomach lurch. If I could never see one of those emotionless monsters again, I'd do almost anything to make that happen.

Almost, anything... One of my faults may be the undying urge for more power. All self-preservation and logical reasoning bends at the possibility of this.

Ember has a good point. I'm burning through way too much MP to reasonably keep this up. The only way I'm even able to handle these attacks is by using buy All-Seeing eye to aid in the precision aspect, and my self regeneration skill to heal from the immense damage done to my body after each strike.

Any normal hunter would be hospitalized after trying a single one of these attacks...

I gulp again as Ember replies.

"Shall we go now?"

I'm still a bit flustered at the thought of it, but very tempted for so many reasons. I'm actually seriously considering going back to that place...

I reply.

"You're sure it's safe? How do we know last time wasn't just dumb luck?"

Ember replies with an answer that makes me feel a lot better...

"While I was farming Titans on your command, I fell into dozens of domains. At my current Plundering proficiency, I can make one of those pocket realms collapse in just under a day."

I stare straight ahead, taking this new information into consideration.

"Really....?"

Ember bows his head as I smirk.

In real-world time, I have just a few hours remaining before my meeting with Fisher. If I stock up on supplies like food and water, I can train inside the Titan's Domain for as long as I want before coming back here.

After a long pause, I open up my Item Storage.

"Let's do it. We're going back."

The Dragon slips into my pocket dimension and I Dungeon Walk back to my hometown's starter dungeon without a second thought.

A wide grin creeps across my face as I step out of the exit portal into the outside world. I make my way to the village market grinning all the way.

I'm excited. What started out as a nightmare, is now turning into a gold mine for new power-ups. Falling into the Titan's Domain may not have been a pleasant experience at first, but It turn out it may become even more fruitful than I'd first thought.

I make my way to a local grocery store and begin stocking up on everything I'll need for this upcoming training session. I grab a small shopping cart and get to work.

I go overkill on the water... Stacking up 10 cases of 20 1-liter bottles, almost clearing out a whole section of shelving.

With food, I keep it simple. I stock up on 2 months' worth of fresh fruits, vegetables, dried meats, and nuts. My item storage works as a perfect preservation chamber, so none of this will go bad.

I grab a few comics and light novels I've been meaning to catch up on at the register while checking out. It's been a while since I read anything, might as well get something to keep myself occupied during my downtime so I don't go too crazy...

The store clerk gives me a funny look at the checkout counter but accepts my handful of silver coins without question.

As I roll my cart out the front doors, I make a sharp turn out of sight to immediately store my supplies in my item storage.
