"Well, this is great." Zellana sat on her throne, her broken throne, staring at her dungeon log. She was staring at a black screen in front of her, having her index finger scroll through the history log of her dungeon. She regained control over her dungeon, she can see that the majority of her place was... is gone.

  It has been 2000 years since she returned... This was bound to happen. Being gone for so long will take a huge toll on things. She forgot to come back. She had been so... memorized by the different worlds. Hell, she forgot about the basic concept of time and how different it will be between her dimension-hopping. Parallel hopping? Whatever word best describes it.

  She sighs loudly.

  When she only spent some years on the planet Earth, it might have been different on Tiapra.

  How much?

  No idea.

  And Earth was not the only dimension that she went to. Sitting sideways on her throne, legs over one arm of the chair while her fancy sandals dangle off her feet, she frowns at the names she was skimming through.

  Rubbing her forehead, Zellana cursed at this predicament. All of her hard work, gone. She would have continued through her log, but she would get depressed over the things she has lost. Her lovers, creatures, facilities, she lost all of these because of her absence.

  She frowned at her simple mistake.

  Maybe she should have listened to the [Demon King] back then.

  She never left her lovers on a good note. She did not even give them a farewell gift, stubbornly leaving them to pursue her interests. If she thought about these consequences, then she would have left them in a better manner. Most likely, her harem and her monsters continued to do what they can without her. She had a nagging feeling that some other things might have happened due to her absence, but she did not dwell on it for too long.

  She eyed at the last two sentient beings that reached their limits. Knowing that she had some immortal creatures in her harem, they must have left the dungeon before the place fell apart. Out of everything and anything, the only things that remained in this place were her throne room, and her AI robot. Her throne room wasn't even a throne room though.

  The fancy cloth, banner, and carpets are in rags. They have lost their colors along with their worth, barely covering the uneven, rocky floor. The fancy furniture, the paintings, the color of the walls- all of it was gone or in pieces. All she can see was the familiar gray rocks that made up her throne room. The pillars at the side of the room were broken. The very body of those pillars was nonexistent, only showing the top and the bottom part that hangs on the ceiling and floor. The throne lost its shine, looking like a stone chair that barely looks like a chair.

  Zellana, sitting on this weird throne, groans at her former dungeon.

  "Why did I upgrade my dungeon core room? I should have known something like this could have happened." Berating herself, Zellana slumps against her throne.

  When a dungeon becomes inactive, the dungeon core room would be the only room that will remain. This allows any dungeon master to rework their dungeons if they ever become inactive. The dungeon core room produces the energy and resources that allow the dungeon master to shape and make their dungeon. This room is a crucial source of income for any dungeon. For Zellana, she sacrificed her dungeon core room for a bigger, better core room, however, it came with a price.

  By obtaining an upgraded version of the dungeon core room, it could be destroyed. Correction, it is gone. Honestly, from the warning, there was a fifty-fifty percent chance that Zellana would still have this room, and she wouldn't be in a pickle. But because she has her throne room, her dungeon core was no more.

  And this was bad.

  Is bad.

  Really bad.

  "So... I don't have any dungeon mana, I don't have a change of clothes, I don't have the technology to even go back to another planet, I don't have a way to vent or relieve my goddamn stress..." Zellana got up from the throne, unleashing a blast of mana out of her. The AI bot, knowing full well that Zellana is angry, deploys a forcefield around its body. Protecting itself from the devastating flames from the Goddess, Zellana burns and reshape her throne room... Or room. Well, the torches are still intact, lighting the empty room, yet nothing else remained.

  No throne, no leftover furniture or rags, an empty, boring square room. Once the Goddess calms herself, the AI slowly approached her.

  "So what do we do?" Zellana eyes at the bot, scratching her chin.

  "How much is a new dungeon core room?"

  "50,000 dungeon points." Blowing air out of her mouth, Zellana cursed at the number.

  "Fucking 50,000?! I thought it was 20,000?!"

  Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

  "Because of all these other dungeons, some of them accidentally destroyed their dungeon core rooms. The system has decided to increase the price by twofold." AI stated.

  "I blame these other dungeons then..." Zellana mutters, swiping her hand in front of her, "Status!"

  "Weird... There should be more information about my abilities, skills, and other sorts. What gives?" Zellana blinks at her chart.

  Seeing this, the AI explains. "You can't see everything else because of the lack of a dungeon core."

  "Are you shitting me?!" Zellana curse, glaring at the AI. She grabs the shiny advisor, shaking it in her hands, "You telling me that I cannot do anything without a goddamn dungeon core now!? What gives!? Who is tampering with the system!?"

  "AAHHHHH- M-Milady, please! S-Stop that! M-My circuits-"

  "You'll live!" Tossing the AI to the wall, Zellana rubs her forehead. "So... I can't see anything- Oh god. Please don't tell me that I am stuck here... I am stuck here, aren't I? No, no, wrong question. What I should be asking is if I still retain my powers if I leave this dungeon." Fearing the dungeon master, the AI says, "W-W-Well... You need-"

  "A fucking dungeon core. Shit." Zellana growls at her overwhelmingly bad situation. Dungeon masters can usually walkabout in their domain with their levels intact along with their powers. This changes drastically if a dungeon master walks out of their dungeon or tries to invade another dungeon. Their levels will be reduced depending on their status and certain facilities that are in their dungeons. Having NOTHING, Zellana is going to be walking around with a level one body. Another thing to note, a dungeon core room is a spawn point. Once the dungeon core room or the core itself is destroyed, the dungeon master can die.

  And guess what, Zellana has no dungeon core anymore. So if someone kills her actual body- she's dead. No coming back.

  Permadeath.

  If they can kill her in her domain. Then again, there are indirect methods of killing her. For instance, the lack of dungeon points is a very annoying and indirect method to kill her.

  Another, the very cause of her leaving her dungeon in the past...

  Boredom.

  It can kill her faster than any enemy who dares to challenge her.

  "So...the first objective is to get me fucking dungeon mana to buy a dungeon core room and core again... But 50,000 is a lot." Racking her brains, Zellena sits on the cold floor.

  Dungeons can easily produce dungeon mana if they have a dungeon core. However, there are other ways to acquire these points. If someone dies in their dungeon, a dungeon master can acquire dungeon mana through their deaths. Absorbing various materials offered to the dungeon is another way of doing so. The amount of dungeon mana you can acquire will vary on the item, but these are passive ways of helping the dungeon. Sometimes, dungeon masters can be influenced by outside factors, shaping them into the public, business, and/or military type. Anyone using the dungeon, if various facilities can be used, can also give dungeon points. And lastly, monsters of the dungeon can assist in gathering dungeon points.

  There are other means of acquiring dungeon points, but that can be discussed at a later point.

  Now, the monsters can kill any intruders who enter the dungeon, but they don't have to do that. It is up to the dungeon master to program them in a certain way.

  For example, researching and studying about the many forms of lesbian intercourse and other girl-on-girl interactions and entertainment, one could have the monsters rap- Eh, seduce, attract, and have sex with any female intruders. Even though one can gain a lot from killing these intruders who would enter the dungeon, the monsters could have sex with them and help the master gain dungeon mana through those means.

  Zellana knows that this is possible, having a couple of her high ranking monster girls in the past do such actions. She obtained a good chunk of dungeon mana when her creations have sex with the prisoners and intruders.

  Especially her monsters with tentacles.

  Yep... especially those girls.

  Hitting a sensitive memory, Zellana lets out a huge sigh, lying on the floor. It would be easier to have some minions at her disposal. The only thing she has is herself and her AI companion. The AI could have been upgraded, but with no money, the AI is just a circular floating machine with no combat potential whatsoever. Zellena, on the other hand, can be considered a force to be reckoned with, if she fights in her domain. Anywhere else, like the outside world, can easily crush her and kill her.

  "Looks like I have to use that method..." Standing up, she conjures up a ghostly form of herself. Unlike other dungeon masters, Zellana can create a temporary avatar that can leave her dungeon. The only downfall to this method is her avatar's level. Starting as a level one, she can only hold two abilities. Other than that, she will have to level this avatar in whatever way she sees fit. Pretty much a weaker clone of Zellana. Zellana can see this as an opportunity to also play around with other classes she was not familiar with... if this clone can live. Living through a fight, she can obtain experience. If this clone dies, then she will not gain any experience. Even if she was to blow up, the Zellana clone will receive no experience even if it kills a bunch of enemies in the process.

  What's worse, none of the experience will be retained when she remakes a clone. And the experience does not even go to her real body.

  Which is why Zellana gave her clone the self-destruct perk. Upon hitting zero health, or finding herself in a very sticky predicament that she wants to get out of magically, all she has to do is say, feel, or wish for an explosion. The real reason for choosing this ability will come to pass in due time. And lastly, Zellana gave her clone the absorb feature. There are certain requirements and rules to how this works, but pretty much, if Zellana's clone touches something that is dead, then she can absorb it. A slime core, a dead monster, a corpse, all of these things can be converted into a schematic that she can toy around with and replicate or modify in her dungeon ora means to obtain dungeon points.

  With this ability though, she could absorb a dungeon core of another dungeon. This is the easiest method of gaining lots of dungeon points rather quickly, yet this will also be a declaration of war. Especially if the dungeon isn't their main dungeon. A dungeon master can expand their influence and hold depending on certain factors. That can be explained later, but let's say Zellana did take a dungeon core from a dungeon and master is still alive. The dungeon master will amass their minions and travel through the underground network to slowly make their way to her dungeon or send an army from out of the dungeon to her dungeon. There's a lot more to it, but it can be saved for another time. The thing is, even if Zellena took a dungeon core from an existing dungeon, most likely, the dungeon can produce another one right away. Meaning that she'll lose in a war of attrition.

  The easiest way to bypass all of this would be to befriend the dungeon master and see if they can donate or give dungeon points. There's so much to explain though.

  Zellana, thinking about all of this, finally snapped back to reality. Her clone was done-

  "I wish I had clothes." Frowning at the results. It's not like the clone wasn't a perfect image of her- no, that's not the problem. Drooling a tiny bit, she felt like any being who comes across her in such attires would attack her. This was why she rigged a [Self-Destruct] skill. Standing in the same bikini that she was wearing, the clone stood there motionless. Right now, she was level 999 while she was in the dungeon, but the thing is, there was no one inside of the doll. Zellena has to magically switch a flip inside of her to swap bodies.

  "Let's see if it works." Zellana closes her eyes and works her magic. Immediately, she was already in the body of her clone, staring at a zoned out looking Zellena. Nodding at the successful transfer, she swapped to her original body. Good, now all she has to do is make her clone pass through the walls and out into civilization...

  Damn, she's too good.

  Zellana, frustrated at her current predicament, wanted a stress reliever right now. Staring at herself, her lust was increasing ever so slightly. Rubbing her chin, she looks at her AI bot for a bit. Her eyes travel to and fro, staring at her robot then her clone. Compared to earlier, she was concentrating. With a stern expression, she squints at them. Her mind was racking up a solution to her new problem.

  How to fuck herself.

  Yes.

  Despite her actual, dire situation with the dungeon, knowing full well that she needs to be serious about it, she really wants it. She wants to fuck someone right now. And why not her clone? She is a superb replica of Zellana in all the right ways. As if the clone was some stranger, she starts to lick her lips and rub her hands together like some evil genius at work.

  The AI, gaining its intelligence as a being with emotions and whatnot, seems... hesitant. She starts to fear for herself and the clone, despite the master making her personally. Oh, the AI knows that the clone has no mind or self-awareness. The problem lies with her master and her... expressions. She was making a lot of disturbing looks. Correction, lewd looks. Knowing full well what Zellena was showing (after seeing her do it so many times in the past), she wanted to doubt that her master wasn't thinking on a really stupid thought.

  "Please tell me she's not going to fuck herself." the AI droned in its processors. Voicing its concerns, the AI spoke up.

  "You're not... going to do yourself now? Please, tell me you ain't." That will be weird in so many ways.

  "What?" Snapping out of her thoughts, Zellana was offended, "Me? Fuck me? No way! You know how hard it is to do that. You know, masturbation can certainly do the job well. Besides, even if I tried, swapping to the clone and my body will be taxing and annoying."

  Breathing a sigh of relief, the Ai nods at the statement, "Yes. That's good. You-"

  "That is why I want YOU will be in my clone. Don't worry, I have ways to make it happen." There was silence once the AI heard this.

  The AI stuttered, "E-Excuse me? Y-You want- No."

  "What?" Baffled at the objection, Zellana glares at the AI. "Aren't you my AI?"

  "Yes." the AI responded.

  "Then you can't ignore my-"

  "Due to the change of my original protocols, I have the RIGHT to say no." Zellana blankly stared at the bot. Silence hits them again, but Zellana was getting... irritated. Tapping her footwear against the ground, she nods at it.

  "Right, right. You changed completely. I should have thought- SCREW THE PROTOCOLS!" Unleashing a blast of magic that was directed at her bot, it pinned her to the wall. Letting out a yelp, the AI could not resist her powers. Well, there was no way to resist her. With her programming and facing a level 999 Goddess, a tiny bot in the shape of a sphere was no threat to Zellena. And with an intense lust gleaming from her eyes, once Zellana wants something, she'll get it. Feeling her gears and circuits quiver in fear, Zellana flashes a mischievous grin.

  "You're going to do it, like it or not. No isn't an answer." Zellana whispers, her voice seductively creeping up the AI's core.

  "B-But t-that's against-"

  "Shhhh... I'll make you ignore all these rules once I have my way with you." Zellana assures, caressing the AI's body, "Don't worry. I'll take the lead."

  "Have mercy on me..." those were the final words the AI ushered out before things got freaky.

  On that day, an AI lost her virginity, Zellana fucked herself, and the AI was scarred for life.
