Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 203: The party members

I chef Ro closed his restaurant he was teleported to Yunan's house with his apprentice, when inside, chef Ro asked to see the ingredients first and foremost, he was led by Yunan to see the meat storage room where he could find all kinds of corpses from every floor up to the 39th floor, after browsing through these Yunan took him to where he kept the bosses or their leftovers, chef Ro almost fainted when he saw the collection especially the massive sizes that were on display, he had to calm down and compose himself before proceeding with examination.

After examining the meats the next to do was to visit the garden, this time chef Ro fell on his knees in disbelief, he could see a forest, a desert, a mountain and a beach in this garden were all kinds of plants grew and small beasts were playing around, this was beyond a full ecosystem it was a freaking mini planet in the backyard. Chef Ro asked Yunan to bring his apprentice here and as soon as he finished his words, his apprentice was standing beside him giving both of them a fright.

The old man took hold of his apprentice and asked if he also could see the garden and the plants inside it, and when he got a positive answer he looked at Yunan with big puppy eyes demanding an explanation. Yunan explained with easy words so they would not misunderstand "this place is an artefact that runs on mana and is intended for the growth of any kind of plant, if it exists then this place will create a perfect environment for it to grow, basically everything in this place is edible, also, put this ring on, it can help you identify the plants and their properties, also there is a poisonous plants plantation somewhere here so make sure to identify the plants before you touch them." Yunan gave chef Ro a communication ring and then left the two to look around the place.

Yunan did not show chef Ro the place where honey and lava wine are produced because it would be a big hit to his heart, it took a few days for chef Ro and his apprentice to finally finish looking through the garden and finally come up with a menu that could be called agreeable. Chef Ro kept talking about how he wanted to try cooking with these ingredients for the next few years with the endless possibilities.

Unfortunately, Yunan only intended for chef Ro to come by only on this sole occasion and make a memorable meal to celebrate him conquering the 39th floors, and reaching a milestone in the exploration of the dungeon. Chef Ro and his apprentice delivered on their promise to make a good meal for Yunan and his friends, there were not many that were invited to the party, mainly the only people that Yunan knew to some degree.

The list contained the 5 members of the Valyrians, the 7 members of Debauchery, the two slaves, two gods, Yunan's mother, Pope Markus and his friend guild master Martin, the two assistants, chef Ro and his apprentice a grand total of 23 people, and it was as boisterous as a party for 100.

As a reserved nun, Yunan's mom was not made for such a ruckus, she sat down enjoying a good chat with pope Markus, guild leader Martin, Hephaestus and Fortuna. As seniors they did not need to be very polite to each other and ask names or introduce themselves, they were after all invited to a party because a kid had made it to the 40th floor, it was for the best that they did not introduce themselves in the first place otherwise the completely ordinary nun, sister Theresa would find it hard to even breathe audibly around these people, two were the most influential people on Burkan and the other two were gods.

The banquet proceeded smoothly, dinner was absolutely magnificent, the different kinds of tastes and texture that filled the table completed and complemented each other, even the smell lingered to paint a mesmerising picture in the minds of those present, the drinks, made the picture brimming with life and vitality, the food was so well made that they could eat to their heart's content without worrying about feeling bloated from the mana-rich food, even sister Theresa who was an ordinary human could tell this food was made by experienced hands from unobtainable ingredients.

After the dinner was served and cleaned up, chef Ro and his apprentice requested to go home because they had to go work on a new menu they were inspired to create during their stay here as for the rest it was the elders watching the youngsters play around. At first mother Theresa thought Fortuna would join the youngsters because that was how she met her and how she perceived her but wh3n Fortuna stayed with the elderly, mother Theresa started smelling something fishy, so as a mother she caught Yunan by the ears and pulled him to a private corner.

"After you finish playing around you should introduce your guests, I only know some of your friends and teachers and it's not proper for me to ask for their names because they are your guests, and why are you leaving some of your guests unattended, you did not even come by once to ask us if we needed anything". Yunan being mommy's good boy nodded his head like a chick pecking grain and darted towards his mates to tell them to restart the game of chess thrones to include the elderly.

Yunan made some arrangements with the genie then teleported everyone to what looked like one of those war rooms where leaders and generals make strategies and solve problems. The war room was an addition Yunan thought of to make the game of chess thrones more realistic and atmospheric. Inside the room Yunan explained the game to everyone so as to not embarrass those who did not know the rules, he also introduced the new addition a big map noting the territory of each player, and then the alliances and feuds were assigned randomly based on the territory, and one could only play chess with those with mutual borders, it was more realistic this way because the genie would calculate and display the results of each match simultaneously while matches kept going on and on.

After everyone had gotten their territory and found out their friends and enemies, Yunan gave his introduction to the people surrounded the big map in the middle. "Let me make introductions as the host of this event, I am Yunan the wise prowler, adventurers on the 39th floor, a student of Debauchery party and member of the Valyrians party. Next is my pet Drogon, a Valyrian Dragon and the only confirmed dragon on the surface world, besides him is Sapphira, an awakened monster feline and my newest pet she loves hugs and petting and attention so please do not be shy and give her your love."

"This here is Kitty, a feline beast-ling, and my slave, she too loves being a pet but don't get to greedy, and before you get angry, mom, she willingly serves me, I have nothing to do with her decision, besides her is Sarah, she joined my group when I was doing some contract and I bought her recently due to some circumstances, so don't go asking about tragedies. Next is Ophelia, my personal healer and newest member of the Valyrians, she is a former believer in Hermes but know worships me as her lord and saviour, and besides her is her teacher Anne, a devotee of Hermes and the best healer in the dungeon, had always been close to Debauchery which she seems to have joined recently, don't get fooled by her modest appearance she is a sex demon."

"Here we have Debauchery member Dustan, a big simpleton of an orc, loves money more than anything if you want anything from him, pay him, next is the perverted blacksmith dwarf, Balin, a workaholic and self-proclaimed biggest fangirl of Hephaestus. Beside him is Bai the most scheming rogue I ever met, and the safest place is around him, as long as it is a scheme he would do anything to either undo it or join making it. Next is Lucian a big fuzzy cute wolf, he is the warmest and most loyal, never betray while he watches, if he likes you, please feel free to play with his tail and ears, he loves it."

"Fae is the broken moral compass of the group, and her mood is based on how good her skin looks, she is rather nice and playful, she is an elf and a good magical girl. Last but not least, we have Mary, known affectionately as Leader, big heart, big mind, the warmest person and the most innocent one in the room" the first thing Theresa wanted to ask is how come these people have not killed each other yet, something not even Debauchery could answer.

"Here we have the first member of the Valyrians, Leol, my first roommate and friend, a noble through and through, next is Reina, a Kitsune, she is the kindest of the Valyrians but the most vocal one, her questions are best answered immediately. Beside her is Lili, a previous nun in training, hot-blooded and more stubborn than a mule, if she like you, you will know it, if she hates you will know it too, painfully."

"now comes the guests, here is Martin the current strongest mortal alive and the leader of the adventurers guild, he is a good guy who follows the rules and works for the best interest of the whole world. Next to him stands Markus, pope of the church, a lolicon and father to both Mary and Lili, bad father and good leader, overall good guy. Here is the one and only Hephaestus, ascended god and the best smith ever, he is a good friend and really hates being in debt, also very generous and cool dude, he is the one who built this place for me. And beside him is Luna, my wife, and the ascended lady luck, also known as Fortuna, she is a fickle woman who hates being in control and just flows with the situation. And finally the most important person in the room my mother, Theresa, a nun in the church and the caretaker of the orphanage in Mar Sara city, she is the best mother ever, and if you dare make her upset not even the gods can save you. Oh and those two are the pope's assistants, I never knew their names, but I get the impression I should not cross them. Now that introductions are done let play."

Mother Theresa was stunned by the introduction her son made, and the envious looks she got from those around her, she, a simple nun was introduced as the most important person in the room, not even the pope or the two gods dared to say anything to contradict that statement. Those were people who have so much power it made her dizzy if she wanted to think about it. Yet they still respected her in the same way she showed reverence to them.

It was a weird party and those who attended were even weirder, only mother Theresa who was nothing but ordinary could be the most important person here, simply because everyone else would protect her first in the unlikely occurrence of danger, that and she was mother to the guy who brought this family together, even if they could meet and be acquainted without him, his existence allows them from all walks of life to sit and chat while eating snacks and drinking wine, forgetting their identities at the door, because in this place this young man has created, status did not matter, personality decided your standing with the rest of the members.
