5 Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Daylight Robbery System
Wide and vast blue sky, the gentle and cool air were caressing the grassfield. Daffodil seeds are being blown by the wind and wheats are dancing along with the other grasses.
Graal decided to crouch down and feel the grasses and the land. It feels so real like it was it was a real thing. It was amazing that the system can do this kind of feat.
{ What are you doing Graal? You look stupid crouching like that. If you have thought to kiss the land, then I am disappointed in you. }
Instantly, he decided to stand up. He feel insulted with what have the grail said to him. No way he was gonna do that. He wasn't like those old traditional people.
A few moments after staring and looking at the interior of the dungeon. Graal have opened the system. A hologram projection of the dungeon appeared on his view. The appearance, the environment and the number of the floors are similar to the dungeon that the system have created. It was this dungeon and he was currently inside of it. Specifically, he was in the first floor of the dungeon.
[ Do you want to spend 3,000 Dungeon points to create a room?
« Yes » « No » ]
" Yes. "
[ Please indicate the size of the room. ]
After specifically saying the size of the room inside his mind, four huge towering pillars appeared within the distance. Then followed by marble tiles and smooth stone walls.
{ The room was too wide... It doesn't seem like a trap room. }
" It wasn't a trap room. This is where I would place the gate connecting to the Earth. "
{ Like a lounge room where you would welcome your visitors? }
" Yes it was like that... "
Graal stared at the room and frowned.
" Through... I expected it to just be a normal room or like those rooms in the dungeons like in the sword art online... It was wrong to call it a room. It was more like a pantheon or a temple isn't? "
{ You're right. }
[ Do the Dungeon Master want to change the style of the room? It would cost additional dungeon points. ]
Graal suddenly felt annoyed while the Grail was feeling that the system was really an opportunistic being. Graal felt like he was being tempted to spend much dungeon points as possible. The system are trying too hard on scamming him.
He look at the pantheon one last time before looking at the dungeon shop again and planning on spending another dungeon points to summon the monsters.
[ Summon monster- Level 1

For a selection of level 1 monsters, there was quite a lot. Through it was mostly dominated by skeletons. With this options, he could make a good combination of monster teams.
-----------------------
Eventually, a few days has passed. Graal have managed to finish on creating the dungeon with the help of the system.
[ Dungeon Points: 663, 000
{ It was really a daylight robbery. And you haven't even tried to summon a servant. Try to visualize how much dungeon points would remain if you tried to summon a servant based on those probability percentage. }
Graal can already feel his heart breaking. He would be a penniless person if that happened. Just on creating an E rank dungeon, he have spent so much dungeon points.
[ Congratulations Dungeon Master on creating your first dungeon! ]
The system's voice sounded like a demon who came from hell, even it have adapted the voice of his favorite voice actress and sounded like the cliche energetic anime heroine.
[ You have completed the quest. ]
[ Currently evaluating the Dungeon..... ]
[ Please wait a moment. ]
[ Dungeon Evaluation is out! ]
[ Dungeon: ( Unnamed )
Normal monsters: 50
Boss Monsters: 2
Shadow Servant: 1 (Bronze)
Overall total of dungeon residents: 53
Total number of dungeon floors: 10 floors
Room in the dungeon: 2 rooms
Rank Difficulty: E+ ]
So where is the reward now? He hoped that all of the dungeon points that was spent was worth it.
[ Congratulations Dungeon Master on completing your first quest! You have made your baby steps. Dungeon Master, your journey has just began. Please continue on completing your quest with outstanding performance in the future. ]
[ You have received the 1st quest reward. ]
Graal opened his inventory window. On one of the box, there was an icon of a green colored gift box.
[ Random Gift Box- Silver Tier
- Grant a random ten rewards ]
" What the fuck... "
When Graal saw the description, his urge to kill the system was strong.
" Hmmm.... Even the rewards depends on probability. "
[ Do you want to open the gift box Dungeon Master? ]
" System, what the heck is this?! "
[ Answering the esteemed dungeon master, this is the reward of your quest. ]
" ... I have spent so much dungeon points. "
Graal muttered before sighing. The holy grail meanwhile send him words of encouragement and pity.
{ From what I have viewed from your Fragmented memories, you are quite unlucky from getting the servants that you wanted.. }
" Shut up Grail... "
Well, if this shitty random Gift box didn't grant him anything... He would just be force to spent his dungeon points until a servant came up. His hopes aren't high when it come to gaining a 5 star servant. The likes of Gramps Hassan, Quirinus, Merlin and Super Orion are impossible. He could only daydream and imagine having them.
From the fragmented memories of his mind, he knows that he was unhinged when it came to getting the servants. He was a Gacha addict like Gudao and Gudako plus the other FGO players there somewhere.
He have spent a lot of money for the game but he was unlucky on his rolls. Most of the time, what would welcome him was salt and it would end up with him feeling salty.
The image of black keys and Mapo Tofu are still clear on his mind. It was his hell on Earth back then.
[ Dungeon Master do you want to open the Random Gift box now? ]
Graal broke out of his sullen and depressive thoughts when the system's voice rang on his mind.
{ Wish you luck, Graal. }
There was also the best wishes of the Holy Grail...
Huh? Graal froze. He pondered and thought of it for a moment. A smile was revealed on his face. If a person could only look at him right now, if it was paired with his now red eyes, he would look scary and creepy from other people perspective.
" Wish?... "
He muttered. The creepy smile on his face become more prominent.
{ ..... }
" Hey, Grail.... I have a brilliant idea. "
A real and great brilliant idea. Just imagining it, Graal was already prepared to explode in happiness.
The grail have a bad feeling about this.
" Since you are wishing me luck, how about you make it real now? "
{ I was talking in a metaphorical way earlier. Anyway, I can't do it. I already have your wish to live granted. }
" There's no rules stating that you are only limited to one wish. "
{ I am not a genie. }
" But you are a wish granting device. "
A few minutes passed, both are silent. It was like they are having a stand off on the battle of wills and determination. It's a pity that when the grail was ready to say yes, the system decided to interrupt.
[ If Dungeon Master wouldn't still open the Random Gift Box in ten seconds it would expire and become unusable. ]
" Wait, what?! Since when did it have that kind of rule?! You shitty system!! "
Graal knows that there wasn't any kind of rule stated in the description earlier.
[ 1000 Dungeon Points was deducted for the planning on cheating the System. Cheating using the holy grail is prohibited. As an additional punishment, random gift box would expire in ten seconds... Next time, the system wouldn't be lenient in this kind of violations. Preparing for countdown...]
[ 10 ]
[ 9 ]
Graal gritted his teeth.
[ 8... 7... ]
Looks like there was no way for him to cheat.
[ 6 ]
Graal sighed.
[ 5 ]
" Okay, okay. Open it now. "
[ Preparing to open the random gift box (Silver Tier).... ]
[ Loading rewards... ]
{ If you wouldn't get a decent reward, I would like to say that you have received your just rewards. }
" Shut up, Grail. "
[ You received 100, 000 dungeon points.. ]
He have spent much more than dungeon points than that amount.
[ You have received 10 × ember card for All classes 5 star ]
It would be useless if he doesn't receive a servant.
[ You have received extremely spicy Mapo Tofu. ]
" No... "
Graal have a bad feeling about this.
[ You have received azure black keys. ]
[ You have received extremely spicy Mapo Tofu. ]
[ You have received extremely spicy Mapo Tofu. ]
Nothing have changed on his bad luck.
[ You have received Steel Training ]
And it was much more worse than before.
[ You have received snowball pirates. ]
{ Craft essences.. it could be useful in the future. }
[ You have received shroud of Magdalene ]
[ You have received a × 1 Saint Quartz ]
"...."
Graal look at his inventory which has also indicated the amount of his dungeon points. And now, also a Saint Quartz.
[ Saint Quartz: 1
- Use to summon a servant ]
He took it out of the system and grasp it on his left hand.
[ Do you want to receive your next quest now, Dungeon Master? ]
The grip on his single saint Quartz tightened.
This system is really shameless. Yes, not all of his rewards are craft essence. But, the thing is...
" How can I summon a servant with this one piece of saint Quartz?! "
That day, Graal can feel the power of unlimited salt works.
