The people of the alpha plane have made it their hobby to enter the dungeons of other worlds and conquer them. Naturally not everyone is happy with this as dark undercurrents begin to work against the conquerors.

As some people die in the dungeons they are made an offer. To give up their humanity in order to live on. 
Guy, a veteran carrier, is one of them, he can't bear to leave his family alone and accepts. From then on he must fight in the dungeons but as a monster while simultaneously continuing his life in the alpha plane in the shape of a human.
Jade, an elite adventurer, also accepts the offer but her intent is solely to get revenge on those who killed her and make humanity suffer for her life.
Monica, a little girl not native to the alpha plane is pulled into the happenings due to her childish innocence.

Counter Dungeon-Delving

And that's the fifth floor that has been completed according to Being Y's prerequisites. Training all those orcs has been an interesting experience to say the least and while most trains have also gone into lockdown, we still got a few that apparently didn't care about the lockdown.

Turns out that keeping adventurers locked up inside those train stations is an impossible task. Over the past few days I've met dozens of small teams of adventurers who left because they were too bored.

Killing them got me some nice levels and helped quite a few orcs level up and evolve into orc raiders.

Yes, twelve whole levels. Most of those levels came from shared experience the orcs got for me but I did get in some fighting myself. I also got a few level ups for my skills.

For one, my stealth skill leveled up from all the sneaking around and ambushing both trains as well as adventurers on foot.

Next, both my dagger use as well as my energy dagger skill leveled up. Dagger use is now at level 9 and only one more level up will get me to the requirement for skill evolution. Evolving dagger use into advanced dagger use will likely be my first skill evolution.

Then, my woodworking and make-shift crafting leveled up from all the wooden pikes I made for the orcs. I must have made a few hundred by now.

Finally, my earth magic reached level 8. The way I use earth magic is mostly for supporting or controlling. Terraforming is surprisingly effective against trains if the effect is quick enough. If the ramp appears only seconds before the train reaches it the conductors have no chance to react.

The only downside is that it's draining to create such exaggerated effects in a short timeframe. Constantly depleting my mana reserves does do wonders for training my mp bonus stats.

Getting a change of scenery after spending the last week running around these five floors will be nice…

Did I mishear or did you say first emergency mission just now. Because where there is a first…

That sounds like you want me to babysit. Can't they get some other carriers to do the same?

By watching other new carriers get killed and eaten… True enough, most of the senior carriers never explained anything and we just learned to copy what they did and avoid doing what got others killed.

<Exactly, and I reckon you can do a whole lot more especially when supported by virtual reality.>

Can these people even afford our prices?

Now you sound like a greedy and shady businesswoman.

You make us sound like the bad guys.

Always with that perspective. I am a simple guy, I like knowing what's right and what's wrong. Trying to be a monster and a human at the same time is hard.

Great, just what I needed. At least they won't be as arrogant as adventurers.

Asking for credentials, do they think I am some kind of dungeon researcher?
