As we entered the dungeon, we found ourselves in the middle of a noisy jungle. There could be seen some mountains in the background, but mostly everything was just jungle trees, wet ground, and the sound of many birds, insects, and other animals screeching everywhere.

Ding!

[You have used the [Basic Materials Dungeon Key] x1! A portal to a temporary Mini Dungeon has been opened for 24 Hours.]

[By visiting it and exploring it, you can gather primary materials for your Civilization, which can be used to upgrade your facilities or even evolve your Special Units.]

[You have entered the Temporary Mini Dungeon: [Dark Jungle (Recommended Level: Tier 5)]!]

"Oh, so its only Tier 5? Going to be easy peasy then~" I shrugged. "Though, what can these Materials be anyways? They don’t appear in the Civilization Status."

"They don’t appear, but it is indeed a function. You can accumulate certain materials and let your population use them to automatically upgrade things." Said Alice. "The material you have an unlimited about is wood, so everything is always made of wood. But you can also accumulate Iron, Stone, Food, Glass, and more!"

"Interesting." I nodded. "Shouldn’t the Civilization System be explaining this stuff though?" "A-Ah, well, he got a bit intimidated after you got angry, so they’ve been... Just looking, they tell me what to tell you." Alice sighed.

"Oh... Oh well." I shrugged. "Anyways, let’s get this started. Do we just take away everything here or...?"

"You’ll find special areas where you can grind the Materials, also monsters, once defeated, will drop bags of Food that can be added directly to the Civilization reserves." Said Alice.

"Amazing, this is really like those video games you talked about a lot, Alice." I giggled. "Let’s start then! Everyone, disperse! Hunt anything you find and bring me anything shiny you find too! Bark, you stay with me though."

"Very well." Bark nodded, staying by my left side.

Everyone dispersed, as I used my connection with them to see where they were going. At the same time, with Bark at my side and Alice, we moved forwards.

"Hey, I found something!" Furoh was the first to find something. "It’s like... A huge piece of stone? And it emanates a golden aura!"

"Let me see..." I connected my eyesight with his own.

And there it was, a big gray stone, as big as at least four meters, sitting in the middle of the jungle, looking extremely out of place at that. As he said, it emanated a golden aura, it was asking to be mined.

"Alright, can you mine it down?"

"Sure!"

He quickly transformed into a giant white Fenrir and used his claws to break the stone in seconds, shattering it into countless smaller rocks and shiny pieces of ore. The pieces then disappeared as they flew towards him.

Ding!

[Your Familiar has harvested [Stone] x33 and [Iron] x9!]

[Both Materials have been stored inside the Civilization Vault.]

"Oh wow, they disappeared out of nowhere!" Furoh was shocked.

"So it seems. So that’s how it works, pretty fantastic." I laughed. "Well, let’s begin!"

We started searching with Bark everywhere, finding more of these stones standing around. I tested his abilities as I handled him a sword made of my Divine Thunder Armament Skill, which he wielded dexterously.

"Haaah!"

Imbuing it with his Mana, he swung his golden colored blade, the stone immediately exploded into pieces with a single strike.

CRASH!

The pieces of stone and ore quickly turned into particles of golden light, disappearing after fusing into Bark.

Ding!

[Your Hero has harvested [Stone] x35 and [Iron] x11!]

[Both Materials have been stored inside the Civilization Vault.]

"Nice! This is kind of fun, let’s continue!"

"Very well."

We moved forwards, breaking stone after stone, and sometimes cutting huge trees that shone brightly too. The other jungle trees didn’t give any wood, and we had to process it ourselves, which was a pain, so we ignored those.

After collecting some more stone and Iron, we eventually came into contact with a monster. It was a huge Albino Giant Ape, a Tier 5 Monster. It was as big as four meters, incredibly muscular and with sharp red eyes.

After having slain even Tier 10 Monsters, a Tier 5 wasn’t a problem at all, even more when I was already Tier 6 myself!

"KIEEH!"

The albino monkey charged forwards, as I decided to try out my new Dual Swordsmanship Arta Skill, summoning a second sword out of my Divine Thunder Armament Creation Skill and by temporarily transforming Ruby into another armament sword through the skill to restore her blade, I moved forwards.

FLASH!

Both swords imbued themselves with the thunder of the skill itself, which then coursed through my body rapidly, increasing my movement speed to an incredible level! The ape roared, swinging its giant arms against me while conjuring waves of freezing winds, its special elemental magic.

! ! !

I easily evaded the incoming attacks, and then jumped towards its arms. The ape smiled, suddenly conjuring giant icicles to impale me with. A Tier 5 Monster is still a Tier 5 Monster, I had to recognize his strength.

However.

"[Dual Cross Wave]"

I spun in midair with both swords in front, creating a X shaped wave of pure Sword Ki, blazing flames and nature energies mixing together with it through my Yggdragon Dual Aura, which

Emerged from my very Physique.

SLAAASH!

Not only were the ape’s arms sliced off cleanly, but the rest of its body exploded into green, red, and golden flames, it screamed in horror as it burned.

"GYEEH!"

The monster foolishly attempted to turn off the flames with its own freezing winds, but constantly failed miserably to do so, I stepped forwards, imbuing Mana into both of my weapons, and just using the same, easy technique again, this time charged with divine

Lightning.

"Bye. [Dual Cross Wave]!"

BOOOM!

The ape dropped dead after that, and then exploded into particles of light, leaving behind a

Bag with food inside, it had clean pieces of its own meat, alongside some vegetables. The

Bags then disappeared after I touched them.

Ding!

[You have defeated a powerful monster! You have harvested [Food] x24 and [Evolution Stone

Fragment: Nature] x1!]

[The Materials have been stored inside the Civilization Vault.]

Not bad, let’s continue!
