Seedling 5

Adventurers are literally more entertaining than anything else I’ve seen in this new world.

For some reason, they take the sight of a floating, glowing, shimmering, hovering, white tree with inner red veins along with sparkling luminescence as a personal challenge.

I have even personally heard several of them say things like, “That tree must be worth a FORTUNE!” or even “By Bulgard’s Bulging Nutsack! A floating tree! Quick, grab it!”

Rustle.

Well yes, I do happen to enjoy leading such groups into dungeon traps.

I admit, it’s not very sporting to lead individuals so focused on my capture into pits, pitfalls, rockfalls, spear traps, dart traps, poison gas clouds and the like.

Rustle.

What do you mean I’m the only one enjoying this show?

Tree, let’s be frank here.

I’m not the one that heals them up afterwards so we can do it again.

Rustle!

Suuuuuuure, I bet you felt sorry for them. Don’t think I didn’t notice that the only Adventurers you healed were the drop dead cute or drool worthy gorgeous ones.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Rustle. Rustle. Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuustle!

That’s not even a legitimate excuse, Tree.

Lately though, I feel I’m kind of close to a breakthrough.

Fire is my Domain.

Flame my Calling.

Fire Affinity consumed by Growth(+1), Flame Root created.

…

…

…Rustle.

Seriously? Your first question is why did the fire turn blue?

Don’t stare at me like I’m the only one involved here.

The upper levels are rather tame in this Dungeon place. Mostly they consist of:

A) Bats.

B) Goblins.

C) Floating Mana Trees.

or

D) Giant Spiders.

There was a Dragon on upper level Ten…

Sadly, with a heartbreaking anguish he attempted to eat us which was a bad choice.

For him at least.

After that insect wave consumed him though, the Giant Spiders have risen pretty high in the upper level hierarchy.

They got a little ballsy and tried to eat us though, so I set their Nest on fire.

The resulting smoke has clogged the top three levels of the Dungeon causing untold number of Adventuring parties to curse my name in various ways.

Oh! Look, it’s that party with the three idiot guys and intelligent hot lady!

Let’s go see if we can trick them into another acid pitfall.

Rustle.

Don’t pretend you don’t want to see her three-quarters naked as she beats her companions senseless again, Tree!
