Reject Humanity, Return to Monke

I scratched my head… Taking one more look at the holographic screen only I could see in front of me (I checked, Domino couldn't see it at all), I mused to myself the reason why, in the everloving hell, did the Gods up above decide to give me a quest system a few weeks AFTER my transmigration…?

[Strengthen your Dungeon!]

[Add rooms: 20/20]

[Gain a floor: 1/1]

[Reach a total of 100 Dungeon Residents: 78 / 100]

'Yeah… This is a headache, but hey, as the old saying goes, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."' I dismissed the screen with a wave of my hand, Domino ignoring the gesture as she tried her best to lay on my stomach spread eagle.

She really liked sleeping/resting on top of me…

I pondered with the silence surrounding me, the breezing wind flowing against my fur (where the hell does it come from…?). My musing was interrupted when a notification about a trespasser once again visited my sight, as well as Domino, according to the blinking screen in front of her, which prompted a scowl from her mouth.

"Stupid screens… Interrupting time… With Papa…" She muttered under her breath, a few more 'choice words', a caring parent would instantly wash the child's mouth with soap and bleach, coming out of her lips.

"There, there…" I patted her head, getting her to go docile and sighing in bliss as she rubbed her head against the palm of my hand.

With her distracted, I checked the screen for the incoming trespassers. They weren't anything too special, being a bunch of goblins under the command of some orcs. By my estimation, they probably have about 30 or so heads, more than enough to finish the quest that was generated.

I hummed. A clear opportunity to complete the quest was right there, and I also had no idea what the rewards for the quest were, being that they weren't shown. Do they have some hidden objectives? Do they have some failing conditions?

Things to ponder in the future when another quest is generated…

Leaving Domino to her rest, this time, instead of commanding her to relay my orders to my mobs, I accessed the Dungeon Menu and contacted Gong. The Gorilla was undoubtably my most trusted mob if you want a job done right.

"Gong." I tilted my head up, Gong perking his head up through the screen used for communications. "Trespassers on your way, capture them."

"Roger." Gong nodded and the feed was cut off. With that out of the way, time to get back to resting. It's been too long since I had a non-stressful week…

A few minutes later, the battle was over. There were no casualties and the invading trespassers were captured without any hint of a struggle.

There wasn't any [Trespassers Repelled] notification, because they weren't repelled, nor were they killed, thus resulting in no [Trespassers Killed] notification as well. So no DP for me in that fight.

I watched part of the fight before dismissing the screen once I was sure the battle was in my favor, and what I saw made me think about the power levels of gorillas in this world.

If a gorilla can knock out an orc with a single punch to the face, and tank a similar punch to the face from another orc without feeling groggy or winded, then it wasn't a mistake to rank gorillas higher than orcs.

In fact, I haven't seen a gorilla fight one on one against an orc until now, and it made me want to test some theories about how strong a gorilla really is.

Based on scientific experiments back on Earth, researchers concluded that a silverback gorilla (which are all gorillas in my Dungeon) is twenty times (or was it fifteen?) stronger than an average human.

And right now, I have some proof of that strength, what with a gorilla punching a 7-to 9-foot-tall bipedal pig into unconsciousness with a single punch in the face. Sure, there were some humans the gorillas killed in gruesome ways (I saw one rip the head off of the body of a man with just a single pull), but those were against humans, the average ones.

What I want to see is how gorillas fare against stronger beings. Beings, like an orc, which I happily received right now, a troll, a yeti, hell, I would probably pit a gorilla against a dragon, even if I knew the gorilla would be 100% dragon food by the end of the "fight."

So, with that out of the way, I can conclude that gorillas – at least in this world – are stronger than the average starter monster, and it was fine because I was in parts where the most abundant threats were said starter monsters.

I checked the new tab for [Quests] in my System and found a peculiar line at the bottom.

[Strengthen your Dungeon!]

[Add rooms: 20/20]

[Gain a floor: 1/1]

[Reach a total of 100 Dungeon Residents: 100 / 100]

[Finish Quest: Y/N]

Finish Quest…? I can delay finishing the quest even if I have all the objectives done…?

'This makes the theory about hidden objectives much more believable.' I mused in my head, scratching Domino's cheek with my finger as she mewled softly. I dismissed the screen and continued on pampering Domino.

'I'll finish the quest later after I visit the captured monsters.'

For now, though, I want to take advantage of this temporary peace I found myself in. Maybe think about things I want to do in the future, like building a family, even if I already had one in the form of Domino, and my Dungeon mobs.

'Ah, right, I need them to mate and procreate…' I grimaced. Forcing those you trust to do the dirty and having an offspring left a bad taste in my mouth, but for all it's worth, it is a strategy I will have to do if I want to bolster the number of monsters in my Dungeon.

'This is gonna suck… And I sure hope they don't consider me the alpha… As a former human, I do not want to tap gorilla holes… Speaking of which, didn't male gorillas have tiny… dicks…'

I looked down. I felt my mind tremble.

'MOTHERFUCKKKKKKKKEEEEERRRRR!!!!'

~ Third Person POV ~

"This is wrong…" The black-skinned demon scrunched up his face in frustration. True, the Orb of Transference wasn't a perfect tool to use against God-tier abilities, but the various restrictions placed on him by said ability were too much for him to properly use to circumvent the effects of the curse still placed on him.

Scowling in irritation, Sogtharoch called upon his status in his mind to take a better look at the menu displayed.

Name: Sogtharoch  

Age:  79    

Gender:     Male 

Race: Demon      

Class: Lancer 

Level: 10    

Exp:  9999/ 10000

HP:  730/  730

MP:  5373/ 5373

Str:   32 = 67 = 34

Vit:   28 = 63 = 32

End:  29 = 64 = 32

Agi:  38 = 88 = 44

Dex:  35 = 85 = 43

Int:   48 = 388 = 194

Wis:  43 = 358 = 179

Cha:  36 = 111 = 56

Luc:  -69 = -69 = -69

Sogtharoch scowled once more, this time, bringing the description of the [Bane] he was afflicted with, which wasn't that far from the effects of his curst.

[Progressio Posterior] = Hinders the development of the afflicted, capping their max level at 10, as well as halving their stats except Luck.

It was this that made Sogtharoch a bit pissed. There wasn't any description of how to remove this [Bane]. From the memories of that black hairy beast known as Jionni, he was sure that these types of abilities came with their own introduction and tutorials. He played a lot of them when he was a human in another world, so he was sure that his Game would have a tutorial as well.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case.

He swore he would find a way, but for now, he was left to do some head scratching to ponder how the hell he was going to remove the curse.
