[Item drop: Magician's book]

"Wait, why did I gain exp? I didn't do anything in this stage," Meurig asked in a confused tone.

"I guess the rules of the outside hunting grounds and the dungeons are different," Yuki said as he turn his attention to the item drop.

Yuki double tapped on the brown book with golden linings and a large green glowing orb in the middle.

[Rank: D -> ???]

[Attack: ???]

[Description: Power: Contains every spell which the lich ever learned. New spells may be available depending on the user's level. The lich was once an ordinary magician which trained every single day of his life to become acknowledged by the world. Once he had achieved all his goals, the magician grew bored of life. Out of boredom, the magician began to involve himself in dark magic, especially necromancy. Addicted to his new found power, the magician eventually turned into a lich. Once the world had gotten word of his tretury, they created an alliance and gathered their strongest forces to defeat him. Unable to kill the lich, the magicians cast him away in the dungeon while sealing almost all his magic in the book.]

"Rather a dark story, don't you think so too Meurig?" Yuki asked his friend.

Meurig nodded in agreement.

Reward: King's Crown Awakening

[Open inventory]

Without Yuki asking it to, his inventory opened on its own and the crown he had been keeping flew out of it. It began to glow and all the rust it originally had from its old age disappeared. It began to glow within the stage as it levitated and fell back down on Yuki's head at a crooked angle.

"A messed up crown, for a messed up king. How fitting of you," Meurig commented.

Yuki sighed and shrugged it off. Before he put the crown back into his inventory, an idea came to him. He quickly double tapped the crown and a smile instantly popped up on his face.

[Weapon type: Helmet]

[Name: King's Crown]

[Rank: ???]

[Attack: ???]

[Description: Power: Absorbs all the monsters of a dungeon that has been cleared. The monsters absorbed must defeat monsters on their own to grow and level up as to be helpful to their king. All absorbed monsters will start off at the level that they were at in the dungeon. While multiple versions of the monsters can be summoned, each monster is in charge of leveling up on their own. The king's subjects are liable to death and while they may be able to be reconstructed with the same figure, their level restarts. The King's crown acts like a gateway between the dungeons and the real world. The king and only the king can rule over his subjects.]

"What an awfully long description, however, it does sound interesting," Yuki said.

Crown on his head, Yuki pointed his right palm forward and tried to summon a monster. No matter how hard he tried nothing he did worked. As he began to lose hope a notification popped up.

[Notice: To activate King's Crown Awakened's effect select a summoning phrase]

[Summoning phrase: _________]

"Serve your king"

[Summoning phrase: Serve your king]

[This command cannot be changed. Confirm for activation to occur]

[Yes] or [No]

Yuki pressed on yes.

[Command had been selected]

"Let's try it now," Yuki said out loud as Meurig watched behind him in awe.

"Serve your king!" Yuki said.

Yuki began to think about summoning the lich and without even having to concentrate, his wish was granted.

[The immortal undead king of the undead Final Boss: Lich Feliu]

[Servant level: 6]

Yuki began to smile however before he could do anything, he fell to his knees. He had lost nearly half of his stamina all at once.

"I guess that's the price I pay for summoning someone that strong," Yuki acknowledged as Meurig caught him by the arm and stopped him from falling face first to the ground.

This lich saw his king in distress and began to try to help.

"I already know what you want, don't worry I'll give it to you," Yuki said to the lich.

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out Magician's book and handed it to Feliu. The lich bowed and accepted his king's gift.

[Cast Spell: Regenerate]

Feliu began to slowly but surely heal Yuki.

"If only I still had my original power, I would be of more use to my king," Feliu thought to himself.

"It's okay, you're plenty useful as you are now," Yuki reassured Feliu.

"My king, you can understand me, but how? I lost my ability to speak to humans directly as a sacrifice to gain my abilities as a lich," Feliu asked.

"Although I don't know for certain, I'm pretty sure this crown allows me to communicate to my servants," Yuki replied.

"Thank you so much, I am so grateful to be able to communicate with my king," Feliu spoke as if he was tearing up while he said those words.

"Hey relax, there's no need to cry. If you really want to make me proud, get as strong as you possibly can. I'll need a strong mage at my side when I take over the world," Yuki spoke.

"I won't disappoint you my king," Feliu replied with a burning passion in his eyes.

"That's all for now, can you return to the crown now?" Yuki asked.

"Your wish is my command!" Feliu replied as he began to deform and get absorbed into the crown.

"You get weirder and weirder by the day," Meurig said.

"Are you jealous that an immortal mage is only being loyal to me or something?" Yuki mocked his ally.

"Come on, let's leave this place. I want to see the sun and the sky already," Meurig ignored Yuki's remarks.

"Ya, you're right," Yuki replied.

Right before they reached the gateway, Yuki sensed several entities and so did Meurig.

"It must be humans," Meurig spoke.

"How do you know?" Yuki asked.

"Unlike monsters which instinctively hide their aura, inexperienced humans usually don't know how to do the very basic things," Meurig replied.

"I'll take your word for it."

"Anyway, can you also go into my crown since you still have the properties of a monster?" Yuki asked.

Before Meurig could even answer, he began to deform and get transported into the crown.

"Guess that happens automatically whenever I ask a monster to do it," Yuki said as he placed the crown and all of his belongings in his inventory.

Yuki began to head to the exit of the dungeon with his dirty black sweat pants and red sleeveless sweater as he put on his hood.
