Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master

It had been a week since Isaac returned from the Challenge Dimension. During that time, Isaac locked himself in the Crystal Core room, focusing on replenishing the population and adjusting the distribution of monsters so the population in his Dungeon was balanced.

As a Dungeon Master, Isaac wasn't just focused on defense, but also the level of difficulty. Because Isaac's targets weren't just demons, but humans too.

Isaac had to create a Dungeon that was friendly to humans, and at the same time challenging. It couldn't be too difficult and it couldn't be too easy either. It was like entertaining players in a video game.

He knew the basic human character well. When it was too hard, they would give up, and if it was too easy, they would get bored. As a result, they searched for more powerful monsters and ended up being killed because they were still weak. And Isaac would only get crumbs.

For the last two days, Isaac found an anomaly.

"The number of deaths on the 1st floor increased again? Even though the monsters in the Dungeon have been balanced by me?"

Feeling something was wrong, Isaac checked the data in the Control Panel one by one. Everything was normal and there were no significant types of monsters.

Facing a dead end, Isaac called Pippi via telepathy. Not long after, a flash of firefly-like light gathered and the figure of a girl appeared.

Pippi, with a salute pose, reported to Isaac. "Pippi is here, ready to take orders."

Isaac then asked if there was anything odd while he was watching the Dungeon. The little girl didn't answer right away, looking thoughtful for a moment.

"Ah! Recently, I saw a bunch of humans killing each other."

Isaac's hands clenched at Pippi's report. He became furious. Not because he heard the news that humans were killing each other, but because they dared to steal from him.

Isaac would only get zenny if a monster or him directly killed a human. However, it was a different story if humans killed other humans. Isaac would get nothing. Instead, he experienced a loss, because he lost a human that might potentially produce large amounts of zenny.

There were many reasons humans killed each other in the Dungeon. Most common reason was because they wanted to get Power Crystals in the easiest way.

Finding Power Crystals in Dungeons was fairly difficult. They had to find the source, and it was usually in a monster's nest area. Dungeon Masters usually put monsters around Power Crystals so they could kill a lot of humans.

Hence, many Hunters chose an alternative path by taking it from other Hunters.

They usually teamed up in 5-10 people, then targeted groups of Hunters who looked weak or exhausted.

Isaac really hated these kinds of people. To him, they were disgusting parasites. Not only did they use a cowardly method, but they also made Issac lose his farming factory.

"I have to get rid of these bastards immediately, or they will slaughter all my golden goose," Isaac thought.

Isaac quickly stood up.

"Pippi, next time another human behaves strangely, you must report to me immediately, understand?"

"Aye aye, Lord!"

After that Isaac told Pippi to take himself to the 1st Floor. Their bodies glowed and, in split seconds, broke apart like fireflies.

Floor 1, Isaac's Dungeon.

Despite being inside the Dungeon, the sky was as bright blue as the outside world. In the midst of dense green trees, Isaac seemed to observe the activities of Hunters who were hunting monsters.

Because Isaac's Dungeon landed in the middle of the three countries' borders, he had seen people with different characteristics and skin tones several times. Some people had oriental faces, and some had European faces.

As far as Isaac observed, they all seemed normal. Hunting weak monsters; like a direwolf, a three-horned boar, or a slime.

"Perhaps I should look for a residual place."

The residual place Isaac was referring to was the place where the Power Crystal was located. Everything inside the Dungeon was made of Crystal Core energy. Sometimes, the energy flow settles and crystallizes. Then the crystal stones were called Power Crystals.

After about 30 minutes through the forest, Isaac entered an area where the enormous cave was. According to the map control panel, this place was an area loaded with Power Crystals.

When he was about to enter the cave, suddenly a group of people came. There were 5 people. Isaac then backed off, deciding to keep an eye on them from now on.

After observing them carefully, one of them looked familiar. A young man who was in his 20s with black hair and snow white skin, Isaac had seen him somewhere.

"That person!?"

Seeing that figure, a smile formed on Isaac's lips. However, at the same time, he wondered why that person came to his Dungeon.

"Guo Chen!"

One of the five humans shouted the young man's name. Then Isaac checked the information of that human.

<Information>

[Name : Guo Chen]

[Race : Human ]

[Type : N/A]

[Class : A]

[Level : 10]

After seeing Guo Chen's class, Isaac smiled.

Based on Isaac's memory, in the fourth year of the game, there was one of the most famous Hunters in the world. He was famous for his prowess involved in the conquest of three Dungeons in China. Even later, the Barons felt anxious about his presence.

He was known as one of the six strongest in China.

However, he had bad luck when he attempted to raid Duke Barbatos' Dungeon. He died before reaching his highest potential.

This time Isaac would make sure that Guo Chen didn't die in vain.

With the help of 'Seeds of Mind', Isaac would make this human a loyal servant. Then, maximized that human potential and turned it into a terrifying living weapon for the demon aristocrats.

'Not only strong but also a strong hunter that other humans respected. A figure worthy of being my slave.'

Guo Chen seemed to be discussing with his men for a while. After that, they went into the cave.

Not long after, another group came to the mouth of the cave. Their number was three times more than Guo Chen's party. For some reason, Isaac felt they were not part of Guo Chen.

Their faces looked fierce and suspicious. One of them was bald with a terrifying scar on his eyebrow.

From a distance, Isaac observed them. Because Isaac's perception stat was high, he could hear their conversation.

"See, like I said, right? There will be people who enter this cave," said the bald-headed man.

"That's right boss, hehe. Now what do we do?" one of them asked.

"We'll just have to wait. There are many spider monsters inside the cave. Some of them might not make it out safely. We'll finish off what's left, then take all the Power Crystals they get."

It was enough from that brief conversation that Isaac could conclude they were going to kill Guo Chen and his party.

"After going around for a long time, I finally found these parasites," Isaac muttered.

He was already clutching his gun, ready to shoot them in the head. But then an interesting idea popped up in his head.

"Hmmm, it's a shame to finish them off right now. Looks like I can still use them."
