Will the worthless salaryman find his worth in another world?
Chapter 56
The unexpected windfall
First I decided to scan whole pedestal itself on which the core was placed and that ended up giving information of the dungeon.
-----------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------
The grade of dungeon is E and it sure has a large amount of monsters of grade E and F. It says that it has 1600 monsters in it right now.
Probably the 600 orcs might be the E rank and 1000 goblins are F rank ones but there even seems to be a D rank monster. Where is he?
Also how does the dungeon operate anyways?
From what I have guessed, the magic circle with magic stones is somehow hacking into the system of dungeon and producing goblins and orcs very rapidly without changing the structure of dungeon.
Otherwise there was no way that a 2 floor dungeon would produce monsters at that rate and not try to increase its floors first.
I think the vampires have converted this dungeon into monster producing facility using that magic circle.
I want to know how does this dungeon operates and if there is a concept of dungeon master in this world. And if there are dungeon masters, how much authority does he have in controlling dungeon.
And can I become the owner of the dungeon if I kill him? I don’t want it to collapse all of a sudden on me after I kill the dungeon master or remove the core.
For now, I also scan the dungeon core.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
So its just like a mana stone but its rechargeable. The scary thing is the huge amount of mana that is exceeding its maximum capacity.
As I suspected, the magic circle is overloading it with mana. I hope it will not explode suddenly.
But it is definitely surging with huge amount of mana. Seeing it with my spirit eyes the mana is being so densely packed in it that it has mixed all the colors and has become white.
Before messing with the core let’s see if I can find the dungeon master, if there is any and kill it to see if I can become the owner.
Maybe then I can see the working of this dungeon and maybe remove the magic circle safely.
Maybe the 1 D rank monster present is the dungeon master. But I need to hurry up and find him without wasting time.
I am worried about Philia san and others. Finding them is my no. 1 priority and gathering loot comes later.
But I will take the things that will come in hand during the fight.
I killed the newly born goblin from the dungeon core and then went to the place where the rest of the goblins were being kept. I also decided to light up a torch now since the vampires were gone.
Now after seeing them in light, I can see that they are being kept in a big cage that can be pulled out.
But how do they plan on moving such carts out considering the narrow entrance?. Maybe they even have teleportation technology.
The goblins are still sleeping. Should I kill them to raise my level? But there are 1000 of them.
Just how should I kill these many without wasting much time. My level is 13 now after killing those vampires.
The rise is not that much considering I just killed 3 level 40 or so vampires. Also it seems you can level up by killing people and not just monsters.
Regarding my slow level up, maybe it is because the concept of level is based on the rise in mana capacity.
Since my stats are already high, it will take more time to raise my mana capacity which is the base of raising other stats and hence raise my level.
Moreover my stats rise by average of 10 for each level so that means I would need to kill even more monsters to level up than others.
For now I went to the place the Orcs were kept. They too were kept in the same manner and were sleeping.
They are using the drug I found on the table to make them sleep.
I then went to a room that was further down the main center room. I continued towards the path and saw a big monster was sleeping there.
It was a green colored orc but it was bigger than a normal orc.
I scanned it and found that it was a D rank Orc of level 25.
My scan does not classify rank of monster but it does so for their magic stones. While most of the monsters born were level 10 to 15, this alone was a level 25 Orc.
If the dungeon master exists then this might be it.
But there was no other information about it being one from my scan. I decided to kill it while it was still sleep in a cage.
I took out two swords and thrust them both in its throat to kill it as soon as I can.
The monster woke up and roared loudly in pain. It then broke the cage with one blow.
I took some distance and started chanting rock bullet with wand in my hand. As expected, orcs never die instantly even when stabbed in the neck.
Even with two swords in the neck the huge orc roared and started running in my direction.
It was quite scary to see its huge mass approaching in such a fast speed. I fired the rock bullet on its face and ran sideways to avoid its charge.
The rock bullet hit its face and the Orc screamed in pain, but it still did not stop. Even with half of its face pulverized and blood dripping from its throat and face, it did not fell.
It picked up a stone slab near it and threw it at me.
I barely dodged it while continuing my chant for gamma beam this time.
Finishing the chant I fired the gamma beam towards its head. The effect was instant and the orc fell and died.
I did not want to waste gamma beam but I had to use it in the end because of the cool down.
Once the Orc died, the mana started raging all around it and rushed towards the central chamber where dungeon the core was kept.
I cautiously went to the center chamber and found that the dungeon core was pulsating and shining very brightly with mana.
This looked quite dangerous. I am no expert but I think it will explode.
Maybe killing the dungeon master was not a good idea and it might have overloaded the dungeon core even more.
Probably that was the reason the vampires kept it alive. I am such an idiot.
What should I do now? One Idea comes to mind.
Its risky but I have no other choice. I don’t think I have enough time to run outside before it explodes.
I quickly went near the pedestal and forcefully plucked out the dungeon core from the middle of the magic circle drawn by the vampires.
I don’t want to know what will happen if it explode in my hand and I am not ready to find out.
So I went towards the farthest room that was there, where the orcs were kept and chucked the dungeon core with all my strength and ran in opposite direction.
And after I reached the opposite end of the room, where the goblins were, I heard a very loud bang followed by a series of loud roars and crumbling noises.
After the noise subsided, I went to check and see if the exit was still open.
Thankfully the exit was safe, but the ceiling of the room in which the orcs were kept had collapsed and some of the central hall was also damaged.
Thankfully all the loot was in the goblins room so I did not loose that and I even got the level up from killing about 600 Orcs. I leveled up to 18 in one go.
But I lost a chance to get a dungeon core.
