Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Appealing pink lips that glossed ever so slightly and an alluring body that had curves so perfect that they could spellbind anyone. Her pretty azure clothes covered her snow-white body, her sensational bust was so full and round that they could stir one's thoughts uncontrollably.

Her curvy buttocks were firm and seemed to hold an unbelievable softness.

Maybe it was because she sensed the intense gaze of Simon on her that she suddenly squinted her mesmerising crystal blue eyes. Her icy gaze fell on him and at that moment, Simon felt a bone piercing cold permeate through every pore of his body and gave him an illusion that he was frozen in a millennial old block of ice. Even his soul shuddered for some reason.

"Cough" he gave a forced cough as he hurriedly separated his eyes from her body. She was so beguiling that Simon had great difficulty controlling his wildly running thoughts and his eyes that were trying to sneak a peek.

After what felt like an eternity to him, his thoughts finally settled down and he finally remembered to use Analysis on her. However, the results was so peculiar that he had difficulty believing it.

Simon stared with wide disbelieving eyes at what was displayed. The result of the analysis was so ridiculous that he felt like it was some kind of a joke or maybe he was dreaming. After all, the woman in front of him despite being at level 1, held so many skills and power that broke all his common sense.

Forget about him, even the analysis failed to detect her rank.

The atmosphere was quite awkward as both the parties kept their silence. The woman named Irene calmly stared at Simon as if trying to see through his very soul. He on the other hand was stunned silenced by her absolute beauty and the results displayed the analysis.

He had never seen a status as absurd as this, not only can she command five out of the nine forms of manas, three out of the five are rare ones that only a few people in this entire world could utilise.

Even the mastery over the forms of manas she has command on has reached at the very least intermediate tier not to mention two of them have reached the realms of advanced tier.

There were skills in her status that he had never heard of and those that he knew had evolved into superior skills. Yes, even skills have tier of their own. once one reaches mastery over their skill, that skill has the potential to evolve into superior skill. Simon's [Flight] skill had evolved into a superior skill [High-Speed Flight].

How far a skill can evolve? even Simon did not know as the memories he inherited was too shallow because of his impure bloodline. He could only learn while improving and experimenting on his skills.

Her status displayed that she was also adapt in amalgamation magic of more than three forms of manas. Even amalgamating two forms of manas of intermediate tier was a difficult task but the women in front of him flipped all of his common sense upside down. Not to mention Simon had not even heard of mutated skills.

Another unusual thing about her was that for some reason, most of her skills were displayed as locked. Was she unable to use those skills? or were they locked for some reason? Simon did not know, what he knew was that the women in front of him had to be at the very least an [S] rank.

Looking at the vast list of Amalgamation, mutated and Inherent skills, he was now finally aware of why analysis failed to detect her rank. It wasn't because analysis failed to detect her rank but rather it was unable to rank her.

The [???????] skill of his [Main Menu] summoned someone unbelievable. 'She is not one of the twelve characters from the [Hero's Altar] either. To have that kind of status, what kind of being this defective option had summoned?' Simon mused.

'If her status is this insane at level 1, I can't even imagine what would happen after she levels up' Simon thought before he hurriedly detected her gaze on him.

SILENCE~~~~

A silence that was quickly becoming stifling, pervaded the area. He knew he had to do something. Simon cleared his mind of all rampant thoughts before speaking out "Nice to meet you, Miss Irene... I'm Simon the master of this dungeon".

He wanted to clear this eerie silence by striking a conversation with her. But maybe it was too hurried or his voice was too stiff, there was no reply as the woman named Irene casually moved her gaze away. Just when he thought that she had ignored him, Irene silently nodded her head.

Simon was surprised for a second it seemed that the woman did understand him.

.

Five days passed while Simon was busy with the remodeling and construction of his dungeon. In these five days, he became aware of the personality of Irene. She was the cold and detached type who usually kept to herself and did not interact much.

Unless it was Simon who would start a conversation first, there would be no way she would even let out a sigh. Even then the most that he could get out of her was a nod. In the beginning, he thought that she was ill at ease after she found herself in a different and foreign environment.

However, it seemed that was no the case. Instead of Irene, it was him who was on edge all the time. He felt like a stranger in his own dungeon now that a block of ice that did not show any emotions crashed here.

There was also that message from his dungeon:-

[The dungeon has recognised Irene as one of its Guardians. Guardians are able to access some of the functions of the dungeon menu.]
