It was just total chaos outside on earth, the US was in total uproar with riots in every city. People who self proclaimed as heroes used their power against the law enforcing their own crazy rules.
Others harmed their loved ones and anyone around them with new found powers becoming evil incarnate. Martial law has been in effect for several months with government ordered drone strikes occurring in cities. Mandatory draft was already in effect with war looming with other nations leering at the weakened nations.
Entire foreign states held up by US intervention imploded entirely into anarchy with all foreign personnel pulled back to the homeland. The world police didn't exist anymore, it was simply a dog eat dog world. The naval invasion of T began unopposed by a diminishing world power, with extreme famine spreading in india.
New's articles of mass cult suicides, people believing it was the end of days. Some countries somehow undisturbed by it all that pretend everything was fine. As crazy as the outside world seemed, clearly it was still functional and not some apocalypse yet.
'It is getting better, the news went from negative to somewhat good.'
The market was still a big discussion, the riots had diminished drastically. Rogue actors who thought they could take down armies were blown to bits with their super powers. The chaos still remained in spots however, but a new sense of order could be seen in the latest news articles.
'They went from ultra negative to the stance we can survive if we unite.'
Digging through articles, I was trying to find the Washington disaster she mentioned. It was actually a two month old story on her devices, and one she luckily had saved. In the capital of the US a dungeon appeared and built a crazy tall hill. At first the hill just kept getting bigger in every way, wider and taller.
'Then it suddenly exploded?'
"What is the deal with the Washington disaster?"
"Someone was given permission by their handler to build upwards, and well they abused it to kill many people. They turned a hill into a giant bomb in a city and before the world outside knew it was a bomb they suicide detonated."
Pictures showed the before and after, it was like a mountain of black stone reaching high into the sky towering over everything in the US capital. Then the aftermath, with a giant flat dead area. None of the buildings, monuments, or even waterways remained; it was just all gone. A flat dead zone was all that remained, with total devastation spread for countless miles it seemed.
"This is insane, how did they do nothing to prevent this?"
"He abused the fact that the dungeon can't be harmed by normal means, your world devoid of magic had no solution to him."
'No solution? Nothing? Does she include nuclear weapons in that as well?'
My whole world view fell apart the more I read about the outside, Z rating was equal to the same rating of being a city wide bomb. Other Z ratings went nuts in other spots of the world, but the USA was the leader in crushing them after that single mega disaster.
Dungeons weren't all being destroyed, but the ones given this title were designated for being purged. Matter in fact a highly rated dungeon over in China was changing the world by giving powers to people. The details were completely mysterious but somehow they had acquired a friendly dungeon in the heart of their capital.
'Damn if I get a good rating like that person did I would be protected like some major asset. Don't they realize monsters are very important for humanity's bright future?'
One thing was missing, something I triple checked for. It went all the way back to the first thing she taught me about, the one thing that forged my entire belief system.
"They don't even mention the invaders or defenders? Just world news and how the people are handling these disasters?"
"Well duh, both sides are being cheeky. Invaders think hiding info on earth actually being invaded right now will somehow help their mission. So people on earth are making up their own ideas."
Just like she said, people had no real idea what was causing it all. Taking it all as grains of salt and nothing more, I was helpless to change the world. There was no way to even stay in touch with the outside, so worrying over what did or didn't happen was beyond me.
Deciding to go through the camera of the one girl who came in first to relieve my boredom, it was surprisingly entertaining. My face relaxed from the tense subject, a soft sweet emotion filled my heart instead.
"She's just some dumb internet celebrity that wanted a first access view of the dungeon. She had no plans besides filming the place then leaving. "
"Really? What a moron, she deserved getting captured then."
Nodding with her statement, one issue remained. Who in the world was the other girl, she was like a ghost with zero information on her device about her at all. She acted like some trained soldier that was enduring any punishment, and prepared to die for her cause. That extreme willpower she displayed during our discussion even with a goblin screwing her was abnormal.
"That red head chick can only be seen in one of the scenes of her video. Do you know who she is big sis?"
"No clue, Earth is full of secretive people like her."
"She isn't like the blonde moron that ran into here not thinking of the consequences. One thing is clear, the cops are afraid of her…"
Digging through the scenes of the video, she was pointing her hand yelling at a group of officers. She wasn't wearing anything to signify status like a uniform, however they stood at attention with their backs straight attentive to her words.
'She can scold local cops like it is no big deal, so she can't be nobody.'
Whoever she was didn't make that much of a difference right now. In here she was just a woman on vacation enjoying the best sex of her entire life. If anything she seemed way more relaxed since I have seen her, the brief image I had of her back then she was quite stressed.
I got a real view of the outside world near my place for the first time which was essential for me. Police barricades with very tall fences designed to mostly keep eyes out, not to keep what was in the dungeon from escaping.
Their purpose was to prevent fools from rushing into a dungeon since the dungeon itself wasn't probably seen as a threat. Since the one internet celebrity girl got past it, clearly they even failed that goal.
A somewhat secure facility with watch towers and cameras attached to poles was the area directly outside my dungeon. The guards were simple local police without the fancy rifles they could carry around either. Clearly even the cameras observing the place were even being neglected from the fact an internet celebrity brazenly walked past them.
'Such low security, it gives me so many ideas…'
Tall trees and walkways spread outwards in the surrounding like some park. Pausing and rewinding spots, I found out where I was. Inside the center of a small town's park that was formerly a homeless camp.
In the state of New York, a bit outside the major city of New York. Deeper inland it was a smaller town known for its peaceful way of life. It was everything I agreed with, peace and happiness. I couldn't have asked for a more ideal place, near a major city but not exactly in one. A town that was waiting for change, change I was bound to bring for the better.
'Once the town embraces monsters it will truly be peaceful.'
