@melodicmeows_ Just us then . . ?

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣' 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙨 . . .

You thought this fight would go differently? "She's not a 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚, she just summons crap! Wahh, wahh!!"

Well Aria's getting tired of people underestimating her. Maybe getting your holes battered by each of her minions will be a good lesson. 💢💢

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

Adventuring may sound exciting, but you'd better take it slow. Jumping into a fight you can't handle really isn't gonna end well.

That is unless it was part of the plan to get beaten up and used like a toy. In that case, you're doing quite well.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

Any regrets about being a dungeon boss yet? You agreed to take care of all the minions on your floor in whatever way they need. Don't get all shy now that they're making you hold up your side of things.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

– calm. They're just a little desperate for attention. Kobolds are short reptiles. They can be sweet, but they're a little dumb . . .

. . . Maybe not an imp. They scheme too much.

Does anything seem to stick out?" She asked, flipping through some more pages.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

They wouldn't want anything too large or brutish. Aria gets the feeling she wouldn't be able to handle something too big.

Imps, goblins, and kobolds are smaller regarding their stature. They're even pretty docile all things considered.

"Goblins aren't so bad. They can be –

+ people out there. M-Mother told me..." That explains a lot. She was sheltered from all harm and ended up a recluse because of it.

"I-Is there o-one that w-would be a little more c-calm?"

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

Consider this experiment ruined. Experimenting with portals is well and good until you accidentally send yourself somewhere dangerous. Somewhere with plenty of imps that are happy to keep you around.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

And what is it he's wanting to bargain for?

[~The Entity Born From The Void~ @TheV0idEntity]

Void could help the low level adventurer through the dungeon if she wants but it will cost her.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

– that much." Aria accepted the invitation and stepped into the room.

She cracked open her summoning book and began flipping through its pages.

"Though some creatures can be a little more . . . well, 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 than others. Goblins and imps can be very energetic."

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

The place was gorgeous. It wasn't overtly garish, but there were obvious signs of luxury sprinkled all throughout. It was a stark contrast to Aria's residence, which was littered with junk, spellbooks, tomes, and miscellaneous magical items.

"They'll be nice. I can promise –

[Maera's potion shop @MaeraPlagueDoc]

+ for a few more seconds, the lady of the house stepped back and allowed Aria into her room.

Fancy hardly came close to describing how luxurious this place was. It wasn't overly decorated with gold or anything, but the place still was leagues above the common bedroom.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

@BluenetteSket The shopkeeper was grabbing Aria's pants now. I don't think either of them have time to bargain.

𝑭𝑾𝑰𝑷.

Oh, he jerked her pants off . . .

𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑷, 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑷, 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑷, 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑷

Just don't worry about it, this'll be quick.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

– companionship. If I can come in, I could show you what all I have to offer."

As she said this, Aria reached into her bag and pulled out a brown book with markings all over the front. It was a creature compendium. She could hand select anything of desire.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

Just as quickly as she appeared, the maid was gone in a blink. Aria was somewhat intimidated by their presence.

Aria glanced back over to Lady Elexia and cleared her throat. "I can bring you a friend," Aria confirmed. "Again, I'm a summoner. I can provide all sorts of –

[Maera's potion shop @MaeraPlagueDoc]

+ "Very good, lady Elexia! You're improving every day. That was a wonderful step in the right direction. I'll leave you to it now." Just like she came, the maid left.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

Did you know? Monsters often emit powerful pheromones for attracting mates. So no! You 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣'𝙩 crazy for 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 to this low-level dungeon creature. Just try to pass your sanity checks while he batters your holes. Unless you intend to stay here . . .

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

Dungeons often have a win condition to get through the deeper areas. These win conditions are dictated solely by the dungeon's boss.

You're welcome to leave, but if you want that precious loot then you just need to be an obedient adventurer and take a slamfucking from a monster.

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

@BluenetteSket That's not efficient and you know it. Seriously, stop worrying so much. Just this one little thing as we can get outta here . . .

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

– would allow, I'd love to provide you with a service of mine: I'm a summoner, and I offer companionship!"

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

Aria nodded her head in understanding. The summoner can often come across as callow, but she understood the nuance behind the "threat" very clearly. Regardless, Aria had no intention to harm anyone. She was here to provide a service after all. Why would she throw that away? –

[Maera's potion shop @MaeraPlagueDoc]

+ the estate could very much also act as guards. That's probably why there aren't any armored individuals patroling the area...

[ɪ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏɴꜱᴛᴇʀꜱ @LowLevelSpells]

– The summoner climbed the stairway and traveled the route as instructed until standing squarely in front of the last door on the right. She took her fist to it.

𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌. 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌. 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌.

"Good evening! My name is Aria! I've been directed here by your maids. If you –
