Chapter 1
(Author's POV)
"..... Fif- fifty two.... Fif - fifty three.... Fifty... fo- four.... Fifty fi-fiiiive..... Si- fif- fifty six! 56 silver coins! I ahev 56 silver coins!"
She yelledly proclaimed, with bright smile painted on face, and sparkling eyes that gazed to the person before her
"56?"
He asked as he raised his eyebrow, which she then noddedly answered, with determination and confidence, as clenched both her hands, just at the level of her chest.
"Are you sure?"
He once again question, but the girl seemingly unmoved as she noddedly responds again
"Count again"
He stated with a grin, which made the maiden quite shocked and pouted, as she looked at the table, with silver coins and copper coins, laid before her.
She then once again started counting the silver coins, that were arranged by 10 pieces each by group
"Ten! Twenty! Thirty! Forty! Fifty-"
She counted with irritation covered her face, as she glared at the money atop of the wooden table, pointing each of them as she count, making sure she wouldn't forget any, as she pointed each of the coin, at a point blank distance.
"Good"
"Fifty one! Fifty two! Fifty three! Fifty... Four, fifty.... five, fifty..... Six? Fif- fifty... Seven..... Fifty seven?"
She confusedly spoke. She then shook her head and once again started counting back
"Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty.... First one, fifty two, fifty three, fifty five, fifty six, fifty... Seven..."
She then turned her head upfront and confusedly stated
"57?"
Or maybe questioned. The man then smiled
"57 of what? Carrots?"
She then pouted before she answered
"57 silver coins in total"
"Good girl, now for the next one"
"Ehhhhhhhh?"
She exclaimed in shocked. She then slammed her face on the table while he took 1 gold coin from his pocket
"Now that we have 57 silver coins in our hand, to make it 1 gold coin, how much silver coins to we need?"
The girl then moved her head towards the right, as she gazed at the money upfront. She then slowly get herself up as she sigh, and pouted. She then gaze at the coins laid atop of the table, and as she looks at it more, she became more confused, which were painted on her face
"I'll ask again, to make this whole coin into a 1 gold coin, how much do we need?"
"... Ummm.... Thir- no, umm.... Forty..... Thre- no! Forty five!"
Tok
"What do we do first to get the amount we needed, hmm?"
He asked as she flicked her forehead. Caressing her forehead, she then went on a deep thought
".... Well..... We..... Umm..... We will start by..... By...."
"We start by?"
"By?"
Giggles
"We star by co?"
"Co?"
"Co, Co, Co, Co?"
"Cocococococo"
Boink
"We start by conversion, idiot"
He stated as he giggles. Rubbing her head, she then finally realized
"Yes! Conversion! We start by converting!"
"So which one should we convert first then?"
"Gold coin! We should convert the 1 gold coin, to silver coin first!"
"So?"
"1 gold coin is 100 silver coins, so..... Umm..... We..... We subtract! We subtract the 100 silver coins from 57 silver coins we have!"
"Good girl, then?"
"So, 57 silver coins is taken from 100 silver coins, which equals to....."
She then started counting from her fingers, as she tried subtracting 57 from 100
"And the answer is?"
"Ummm..... 5 minus 9 is, 4, so..... Forty... Three?"
She then turn her head towards him and answered
"We needed, ummmm, 43 silver coins?"
"Correct"
"Oh someone seems improving"
(Vince's POV)
I then turned my head behind me, and saw Lucrane coming back from her venture, which is outside of our tower.
"Big sis! Welcome back!"
Yuiichi greeted, as she rans towards her and gave her a hug.
"I was just teaching her some basic skills and stuff, and I thought you will be coming back 3 days in time, why so early? And where's Iratus?"
I asked. Lucrane then patted Yuiichi's head before she answered
And you heard me right, that lady that I was teaching a while ago, and the one who referred Lucrane as big sis, was none other than our blue {Goblin} friend that we captured, back when we ventured outside our tower.
After a long slumber like certain princess she was - I totally didn't knew he was a she all this time - Yuiichi then woke up from her rest, and the first one she encountered was me, nakedly of course.
After she woke up, I then called Lucrane and Iratus for this shocking anomaly, than even them both were shocked to find out that a {Goblin} could turn into a Human, after a long period of [Shinkai]. This accident was never recorded, neither happened, not until now, which is quite puzzling for us.
2 weeks right after that, I thought Yuiichi everything about this world, as it seems she forgot who she was, but only her memories about being a monster and such, but her instinct of a hunter was never gone, or more like, it was polished to some extent, but yet to be unleashed, said Lucrane.
I thought her everything, like the place we lived in, the world we lived in, the monsters, Humans, different creatures, money, stuffs and etc. Lucrane took care of her daily hygiene, like taking a bath, changing clothes, and some other girl stuff, which is something I won't do.
Yuiichi has a mind of a 10 years old kid, but with a combat experience that is comparable to a young warrior. She was also quite a fast learner herself, as it took me mere days to teach her about this worlds currency, which I did, a day ago.
"Something came in which I decided to postpone my trip, and headed back quite early. Iratus went back to the 2nd floor to visit his clan, and will take some time before he will join us today"
Feeling something amiss, I then curiously ask
"Something happened?"
Lucrane then suddenly felt silence, which made me and Yuiichi worried. Yuiichi then step aside as Lucrane sat down beside me.
"We only have 2 weeks to prepare, use those times to level yourself up in the 1st and 2nd floor"
".... Why?"
She then glance at me and spoke
"Full moon is coming, which is quite early than anticipated, much early to be precise"
Still confused to what she was saying, which is shown to my face, Lucrane then further explained
"After we hit Level 4 of our tower, there is a certain time limit that we needed to look out for, before the moon fully shown itself above the horizon, managers of the tower should already prepared themselves for the upcoming stampede"
"Stampede? Of what?"
"[Shōten no Taigun] is what they call it, a monster stampede to welcome a tower for reaching Level 5"
"Welcoming? But we didn't yet reach Level 5"
"That is why it was called as Gōin'na Kangei in the east. When a tower achieved all the Level 4 requirements and ascended another rank-"
Snap
"And just like a snap of a finger, those managers will, they may like it or not, needed to defend their towers for 2 weeks, against a horde of monsters that will break inside their tower. That is the welcoming, as those monster will ascertain whether the tower could further advance, or be eradicated for good"
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
Horde of ascension and Forceful welcome in Japanese translation
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
Quite shocked to the information she just shoved in, I then suddenly realized
"Wait, they can probe inside your tower?"
Lucrane then nodded
"As the time limit hits its end, all the tower features will be disabled, and enemy monster could probe inside. Those monsters will have the ability to destroy everything the towers have, and no one can stop them, if we don't"
"Level?"
"Highest will be 100 to 150"
"Numbers?"
"Uncountable, they might be at thousands or maybe just hundreds, numbers were unspecified, as long as you can last for 2 weeks against them"
"And we only have 2 weeks?"
Complainedly asked
"It was my negligence that it came to this, I shouldn't have took it easy. Back at the past, it takes 5 months prior upon reaching Level 4 of your tower, before the stampede will occur"
"And yet it was only been 2 weeks for us, how? Why?"
"And that is something I don't know of. I never heard anything like this before. Every tower that was recorded in history, always follow the same format, none were the less nor more, which is somewhat, mysterious"
"Which explained the sudden halt of our exp gain then"
I stated. A day after we reached Level 4 of our tower, suddenly, out of nowhere, the tower didn't give us any exp for 2 weeks - this only involves those tasks we do in our tower that give us exp. We tried finding all reason and causes, but it didn't bore any fruit. Lucrane even tried finding some clues on her book, and for some unknown reason, the book didn't respond, it was completely blank.
And for quite some time, Lucrane then decided to try finding the reason of it, outside of our tower, which she did, a while aback, and here we are, finding the cause of it, maybe?
"I don't know also, as this kind of thing never happens before"
Suddenly feeling anxious on this, I then asked something important
"Which, or what type of monster are we dealing with?"
"If occurrence won't change, and it will be the same as the history recorded, we should be fighting the naturally born monster in the area, where our tower is"
"So those {Centrapod} then?"
"And don't forget those {Boars}, they naturally lived here"
"Dammit"
"Are you two, okay?"
The two of us then suddenly looked upfront, and saw Yuiichi, worriedly looking at us. We totally forgot about her when we suddenly engrossed in our thought.
Looking at each other, we both then sighed
"Forgive us Yuiichi, something just came up"
Lucrane then went towards her and gave her a hug
"It's okay"
"We should discuss this later, for the time being, just prepare yourself, I already told Iratus what to do, so you can take your own end"
"Oppa?"
For some reason, hearing that words make me irritated
"Yes, your Oppa should be at the 2nd floor by now. Do you want to meet him?"
'I object!'
I yelledly thought.
"Being with him is much more safer than us, especially during this case"
"I humbly disa-"
"You be quiet!"
Lucrane yelled, as she glared at me with those fiery eyes.
"For the time being, you stay close with Iratus until this mess will be over, understand?"
Yuiichi then cutely nodded
"Good girl"
Lucrane then caress Yuiichi's head
"Should we really let her- okay I'll shut up"
I stated with a 'I will zip my mouth gesture', as Lucrane swiftly glared at me, as I was about to comment
"Iratus will be a good guardian for Yuiichi"
"And I only hope, that being a guardian is what he will do"
"What?"
"Nothing"
"What is up to you for these past, couple of weeks now?"
"I don't know what you are talking about"
".... You been glaring at Iratus whenever he stayed close at Yuiichi, at sometimes even trying to separate them, intentionally, trying to cover it with 'coincidence'. Is there something matter between you two?"
Lucrane asked
"I don't have any grudge, or whatsoever, with that damn, fucking lolicon"
"Lolicon? What is that?"
"Ahem! Nothing, just slip of the tongue. It's just that, I just don't felt the means of letting Yuiichi stay close with that person, monster to be precise"
"But he kind of nice to me though, do you hate him?"
I then swiftly glance at Yuiichi as she said that, seeing her with such sadden look, as she looked at me.
"It isn't like that Yuiichi"
"Oh poor sweety, don't listen to that rumbling man"
Lucrane then grab the opportunity, as she covered both Yuiichi's ears, and lean her head next to her forehead, while giving me a mocking glance
"Oppa is nice to me"
She spoke with downside gaze
"Yes, yes, but oh well, some men are still heartless"
Gahh
"Okay fine, I get it, I'm sorry, happy?"
I spoke as I turned my sight to my right, and crossed my arms
"I was just worried"
And mumbled in silence
"Someone seems jealous"
Lucrane teasingly spoke
"I'm not- whatever"
I then looked back at Yuiichi, and spoke in a serious tone
"I'll trust that mother fuc- ahem, I will trust that man for you, but if he did something ungrateful to you, don't forget to tell me, that bast- that man will get a word from me"
"But oppa isn't bad"
"Just if okay, just what if"
"But he is nice to me, oppa won't do something bad"
Yuiichi spoke, as she pouted
"I know, but what if okay"
"But oppa is-"
"Just promise him, okay?"
Lucrane then intervene, as Yuiichi seems to be attached to that shit, so she was quite defending him. Lucrane then glance at me and smiled, which annoyed me for some reason
"Okay"
"Good girl"
Sigh
"I trust him, but sometimes I don't, so for such, I am asking you, to promise me okay?"
In a gentle tone, I spoke. Yuiichi then nodded, as she downcast her gaze
"Yuiichi, promise me okay?"
"Promise"
In a cutely tone, she spoke
"That's enough, papa~"
"Shut up"
After that, for whatever that was, Lucrane then guided Yuiichi towards Iratus, and not going to lie, I still feel quite unsure for that man
Sigh
"If I didn't found out that idiots shit, I could have trusted him more"
After what happened to Yuiichi, when she transformed to a young lady, I was been tasked to be her babysitter, which was new to me, as I didn't have any sibling back in the past, nor do I have any experience in babysitting.
For quite some time, days passed as I was with her, I kind of gotten quite attached to Yuiichi, as if I was taking care of my own little sister. So my parental awareness just kicks in, trying to be quite, well, overprotective to her. Until one day, one fucking day came, when I suddenly found out the reason why Yuiichi keeps wanting to go to the top floor. That damn Iratus was someone I trusted, so I let Yuiichi be with him to play, but littke did I know that damn bastard has some hidden agenda.
It first started with a simple glances that I noticed, this happened when Iratus saw Yuiichi for the first time, I didn't really care much about it, which I regretted right after. Second was when Yuiichi started calling him Oppa, which is a Korean calling for big bro. Third was when Iratus was often near at Yuiichi at all time, though there was nothing out of ordinary with it, but the distance was quite short, and the time they were together seems suspicious, call me delusional or something, but that is Hella suspicious as fuck for me. The final nail was when they were alone in a lake, at the 1st floor. Yuiichi was sitting upfront, enjoying the view of the lake while the sunset set, then that damn lolicon was staring at her with eyes that spoke shit, which alarmed me, telling myself that all my intuition for that bastard were true.
I don't know how the fuck that guy didn't notice my presence during those times that I followed them, but any case, following them around bore fruit, which brought us to the situation where I don't trust that fucker even a bit, when it comes to Yuiichi's well-being
Sigh
"Let us just go to the 2nd floor to level myself up, overthinking too much won't aid us in this crisis"
Placing both my arms in my hips, I then gaze up as I sighed.

Before I went towards the 2nd floor, or 1st floor to hunt some monsters to level myself up, I went towards our tower's control room to check the changes of the monsters in our tower, and it seems it became quite different that the last time I have checked. The new one that are summoned, we're now somewhere I can't take easy about
"But some of them were quite behind"
I stated, as some of the {Wolves} that reaches higher levels, seems to be stucked on their old skill, and can't fully upgrade them, nor do they knew how to, while the others seems to be fine, and already managed to upgrade them
"I think they differ on how much they hunt? But there level aren't even that far away from each other, so maybe there some kind of special case here. I will ask Lucrane when she get back"
After that, I then observed the other {Wolves}, those who were summoned firstly, and to my surprise

The difference between the last and this were
"Not, much?"
Expect for their level rising up, their skills were the same, though there were some changes, but it wasn't that much to say that they were a threat.
"How intriguing. Is there some kind of reason behind this?"
I then tried checking the others, which shut me up

I was quite shocked, really, that those Chief {Wolf} that I checked, weren't the old ones I knew, but rather those {Gray Wolves} that were summoned later, that ascended their ranks in the pack. And the old ones were now risen in a new rank in the pack, which are Knight, and Captain

Their {Gray Wolf Captain} seems to be just a little more away to become a {Gray Wolf Variant}, which is Level 151.
"Fighting against them will be tough and tricky, so I should be cautious towards them, maybe taking them 1 by 1 will be more efficient and better"

It seems that some of the {Goblins} in our tower had successfully involved to {Hobgoblin}, and unlike {Goblins}, these {Hobgoblins} have some special, or somewhat additional features.
"{Every normal attack will cause 2% attack damage, on every successful hit} seems to be there evolution bonuses, or something like that"
They also have new skills like [Swift Feint], [Swift Nimble], and some upgraded version of their skills, but what intrigued me is there are 2 {Goblins}, with identical stats, yet the other was titled as Chief, and the other wasn't
"Some kind of bug?"
I thought, as it was my first time seeing something like this. I will ask Lucrane about this thing after she got back, so for the time being, I needed to observe the other monster stats, and quickly decide which one should I hunt down first.

[Race: Fox]
The {Foxes} that were summoned were also quite leveling up. After the summoning circle was placed at the 3rd floor, they were then summoned at the starting level of 20. And unlike the other monster, there were no alpha among them. Their fast growth is also thanks to the [Farm Animals] we scattered in their area, and some of the weaker mobs like {Goblin Hobbit} that they could easily took down, and use as a sparring partner, or training one, and other competitors like {Gray Wolf}, and {Nero Rabbit} that their growth were exceptional.
Though we made sure that the summoning circle of the {Gray Wolf} is quite further away from the {Foxes}, as they will be an easy prey for those hungry {Wolves}. With this kind of setup, the survival instinct of the {Foxes} will develop, and further polish.

[Race: Nero Rabbit]
The {Nero Rabbits} also reached the same stats as that {Six Legged Nero Rabbit} we once saw outside of our tower, during the time when we ventured outside. Looking back, that monster were 10 levels below to the {Nero Rabbit} we have in our tower, and yet both has the same stats and skills, this further prove the difference between the two
....
After I have looked around the monster we have in our tower, most, as I didn't yet observed what happened to the [Farm Animals] we released in our tower, to roam freely, I think I know which among them should I hunt first, to level myself up.
{Foxes} are still young and quite not that many, considering that we just summoned them, so they are out of the picture, so this leads to {Goblin} and {Gray Wolf}, and it seems that {Gray Wolf} are much better opponent to go against with, if I wanted to improve myself, in both skills and level.
And those 1st floor {Gray Wolves}, are much more tougher and quite resilient, compared to the 2nd floor, summoned {Gray Wolves}, maybe for a reason that they were summoned first, which is a great opportunity for me to train.
This is will be the hardest level grinding I am about to do.
