《Dungeon Boss For Hire!》
Chapter 1: Intetsu Hachiman part 1
Monday, the most melancholy of all the days have just started. For most people, at this time of the week would sigh, while the previous day would be heaven to them.
And Intetsu Hachiman was not an exception to this notion. However, in Hachiman¡¯s case, it was not just a simple bother, it was hate and irritation like something constantly crawling over his skin, probably because of bad memories. As always, when the last bell chimed at school, he opened the door to the classroom with his tired body from pulling an all-nighter.
At that moment, Hachiman received glares and clicking of tongues from the majority of the male students in the classroom. The girls did not have a friendly expression either. It was fine if the people were indifferent, but there were those who had an expression of contempt directed at him.
Hachiman was already used to it as he headed to his seat, but there were always people who would mess with him every time.
¡°Hey, okama! Did you spend all night tripping yourself? Was it a coke I wonder?¡±
¡°Uwa, gross. Staying up all night to using fucking drugs!¡±
"What use of those rings and watch anyway ?. Fucking yakuza! "
"Using people''s hard-earned money. Do you really think showing those off will increase your dogshit reputation?"
"No matter how much you decorate, the shit is still shit!"
And thanks to all those money, all of you are still laughing like an idiot! The laughter came from Yoneda Chieko. She is the leader of the students that pick on Hachiman wherever there is a chance. As if she some kind of saint, she talked down to him and raised all kinds of rumors about him around the school despite having herself no better than him in the first place.
As Chieko stated, Hachiman was a yakuza and head of the Intetsu group at that. Hajime¡¯s appearance and behavior were not something to be called okama or to be ridiculed, he just had very slim and thin arms and a slender body. His hair was trimmed short and he did not have bedhead hair.
He wore quite expensive rings on each of his fingers and a high-quality master-crafted watch on his right. With all of those accessories worth more than ten million dollars, one would say he is nothing more than show off second-generation idiot, but Hachiman wore them not to show off but wore them for a specific purpose.Love what you''re reading?

Despite his mild, harmless-looking feminine appearance, he had a very fiery temper, but that did not mean he was a violent muscle head that fight anything that offended him. He is a coolheaded person who learned to control his emotions. And the reason behind Hachiman''s black spots under his eyes was due to spending the whole night trading stocks.
The criticism that yakuza receive from society is certainly strong, generally speaking, the degree of ridicule varies, but people know their limit. Yet, why do they show unrestrained contempt and hostility?
There are two reasons the first was timing!
Today was just happened to be the day Hatchiman sent his two trusted escorts on a mission. They know they can''t touch him in plain sight under the watch of his private escorts who transferred to his class under the guise of a student.
And even Hachiman try to get them later they are still minors and protected by the school and law of the country. Well, that is what they think anyway.
Males bully him because they are jealous of his family and the ''undeserved'' power he possesses meanwhile girls will despise him because of his uninterested attitude and the way they couldn''t take advantage of him and touch that gold mine he sits on.
But still, it was never like so there must be another reason behind Yoneda Chiek''s boldness.
With the sound of the bell, Chieko and her goons finally went back to their seats, finally having some time of peace. Hachiman decided to use the time to check his stocks by taking out two smartphones from his pocket with one showing the real-time reading while the other one showing his own that were ready to sell or buy.
Shit! What is with those huge waves of fluctuations! This is not something treated casually!
"Teacher, I want to go restroom!"
Hachiman raised his hand in mid-class, earning another bag of glares from his classmates. Seeing his serious expression the current teacher had no choice but to allow him to leave the class with a deep sign. The teacher clearly understood when Hachiman asked for the toilet, it is no different than him ditching the class since that is how long he takes.
"Thank you, teacher."
With that said, Hachiman quickly went to the men''s toilet. After taking a comfortable seat in an empty stall, he took out his phones and began to wait for the right time.
Seconds passed, minutes passed then with the sound of the bell signaled the end of the class. Hachiman still waited for the right time in the stall.
Then finally the time arrived, Hachiman immediately tried to sell his stocks. However, certain people beat him in a race, as Hachiman failed to notice the water hose peeking over the stall''s door leading to him getting doused with fresh cold water.
But most importantly the cold water made his smartphone''s screen couldn''t respond to his touch leading him to miss the golden chance. Now, even if he cleans the screen and try to sell out it will earn no major profit, but thankfully it will also incur no major loss for him to continue to hold it.
Hachiman couldn''t help but let out a growl in anger. Let alone him, even a saint would get angry by losing such a great chance.
"HEY! WHO''S THIS!"
"IMMA KILL YOU, MOTHER FUCKER!"
Chapter 2: Intetsu Hachiman part 2
"Don''t put on airs, you fucking okama!"
Yoneda Chieko''s mocking voice was heard behind the stall''s door with no intention of stopping the cold water. Hachiman really had enough of those shits, but he didn''t want to stand to their level. He took a deep breath and cooled his head down.
"You really stick out in the school like a sore thumb, try to be more conspicuous fucking midget. Don''t try to act like someone important."
Without realizing she dodged the bullet, Chieko continued her speech.
"You know what? Just like your lab rat big sister, you shouldn''t even come to this school!"
"It gets on our nerves when we see some street trash like yakuza walk around our school showing off its dirty money. Heck! I bet you used your money and connection to enter this school, didn''t you?"
"I enrolled here by following proper formalities. I don''t have any intention to stand out at all. Also, it''s a waste of resources to enroll in school where any proper person with a working brain can enter."
Ironically getting his head more cooled thanks to cold water, Hachiman calmly reached the door lock to unlock it but noticed the door lock stuck to its place by something.
The lock must be stuck together with super glue. Why does this fucker''s head only work on something like this?
Damn, the water is becoming even colder and colder. Do I even have spare clothes?
Haaah~~ I just have to wait out this conversation until this idiot runs out of sentences.
"In the first place, that voice must be Yoneda Chieko, right? "
"Ugh!"
What use of bullying behind the door when you just speak it like that?
"You acting quite mischievous for a daughter of some CEO of a medium-sized company."
Noticing the cold water stopped, Hachiman slowly stood up and began to shake his clothes, trying to flow out the water that got in weird places. While doing so, he continued his speech in a calm tone.
"I don''t forget the voice and face of people after I have seen them once. It''s a yakuza thing, you see."
"That might be a prank to you, but today you went a little bit too far than usual. So what happened to make you act up this self-important?"Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.
"Did your daddy finally step up the ladder, or did your badass boyfriend get something?"
It was like a grown-up adult talking down some brat who accidentally dirtied his pants and telling her don''t need to worry. Which made Chieko even angrier.
"Oh, well. I''ll let you off the hook. Now get lost!"
"You don''t want to get caught by my escorts, right ?"
Standing behind the stall Chieko''s whole body is shaking from the anger as she continues to hear Hacthiman''s reminder mixed soft and irritated tone. She clearly knows everything he said was true, and better for her to follow his word, but that truly made her even angrier.
"You got your goal, right ?. You got the thing to boast about how you bullied yakuza."
"HMPH! Just you wait, my boyfriend will destroy your small group with his rare combat grade awakened skill. At that time, let''s see how you hold that pathetic act."
Its been almost a century passed since the appearance of the dungeons around the world along with the awakened people who possess various skills that could only be described as fantasy.
In the beginning, various countries wanted to close those dungeons to prevent various damages done by the monsters that came out. But it didn''t take that much time before they realizes the benefit those dangerous dungeons bring.
It was the potential of producing a near-endless amount of resources that range from simple silver or copper to mysterious magic artifacts and ores with the appearance of various people awakening various skills that transforms those unknown resources into weapons and miraculous elixirs. And most importantly the magic stones possess a safer, stronger, and more efficient energy source that is completely harmless to the environment.
It was a perfect fuel.
In just a span of five years, the dungeons transformed from a dangerous hazard zone to one of the most important natural resources in various countries.
Following behind the popularity of dungeons the awakened were also publicly accepted by people and became part of other jobs. Especially first and second-generation awakened who became public figures looked at by millions.
A few more years later with the invention of a more safe way to explore or raid the dungeon. The dungeon steaming became more and more popular among the masses as it was far more entraining than almost anything they ever saw, making other types of entertainment obsolete, especially sports.
With a mixture of such new inventions and the fame of dungeon streaming, more and more people began trying to raid the dungeon to take a bite of such sweet fruit. Meanwhile, the guild and corporation also began to search for more awaked with powerful skills.
But not all awakened wanted to join in their war for various reasons, Hachiman was one of those such awakened people and quite a successful one.
While those people risk their lives and exhausted their power to complete dungeons while sometimes wearing a different persona than their true selves.
Hachiman was one of the people who sat on top getting rich from their hard work.
But he didn''t just get all those from start as at moment he awakened his skill the Intetsu family was on brink of ruins. He was the one who raised this group from ashes so of course he would be chosen as head of the group.
The skill he got was mythical ranked skill''The Golden Rule'' a system-like skill that combination of various skills related to fortune and wealth he possesses.
Thanks to part of this skill called Gold flow, Hachiman was able to see the flow of money which helped him detect fluctuations in the stock market, but sadly he lost chance due to some idiot.
Chapter 3: Intetsu Hachiman part 3
"Damn, it''s no use."
Hachiman tried to wring the water out from his clothes, but it was already the past limit of using only his arms.
*Sign~~*
Left with no choice after giving a deep sign, Hachiman reached his hand toward empty air and pulled out a military-grade knife cutting the lock of the door with a single swipe. After leaving the wet stall, Hachiman moved his hand to empty air and pulled out a brand new school uniform with a new shirt, trunks, and socks.
"Shit, making me waste money like that. Fucking bitch, I swear there will be no next time!"
Hachiman swapped his wet clothes with brand new ones while cursing Chieko. This was another skill that was part of Hachiman''s skill called the Silk Road. It was a skill that allowed him to get almost anything under a specific rule and fixed price.
Even though compared to his current wealth, it is like taking a single drop of water from the ocean. Hachiman didn''t like to spend his money on useless things.
*Knock! Knock! Knock!*
Hearing the knock, Hachiman felt more peaceful knowing that his escorts have returned and now watching the entrance to the room. After finishing changing his clothes, he gave his permission.
"Come in."
Receiving Hachiman''s approval, two beautiful girls open the door and walk up to him with a smile. Those two were his own private escorts, Nanten and Souten.
Nanten was a fairly tall girl with a mature figure that possesses red hair that went past over her shoulder and large green eyes. With her lazy smile, she looked like a very easy-going person.
"We went and did what young master asked. But seems we are a bit late."
"It, okay. What can a child like her can do anyway."
"Should I go and get her?"
Said the girl standing next to Nanten. With a statue a bit smaller than her partner, she had short blonde hair and sharp blue eyes. Unlike her partner, who dressed in proper school attire, she wore a baggy jacket over her white shirt and tied her ponytail with a big cog-shaped hair clip with expensive-looking sneakers. She was a Souten.
As one can see, both of them were not native people. A strong, obedient, trained bodyguard can respond to any situation it was something that every people who climbed on top wanted all time. Hachiman is just a bit lucky one that got them before their previous owner sold them off for more ''mature'' looking ones without even checking what kind of skill possessed. .Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
"Don''t need, bitch gonna eat a dirt on her own in few days anyway."
With a simple swipe of his hand, Hachiman sent his wet clothes and new knife back to his vault, then walked out of the restroom with his escorts following beside him.
"Young master, how do you know that ?"
Couldn''t hold her curiosity for long, Nanten asked her boss as she couldn''t find any good reason. She knows full well about that badass boyfriend that Chieko bragging about.
The man''s name was Jun Yoshiyuki. 17 years old drop out from high school, head of red scarf biker gang who just got awakened rare grade skill "Pole Weapon Mastery.".It is a skill that allows him to use all forms of pole weapons at mastery proficiency with no prior experience, even going far as allowing him to release a low-rank energy blast.
Of course, due to possession of such skill, he is being scouted by various guilds and corps around japan. There are even signs of involvement of foreign guilds as well.
But in truth despite gathering such a large amount of people and trying to hype himself up. That was his limit. As one would know there is not even a sign representative from guilds or corps that possess awakened with rank above C with the simple investigation.
Jun Yoshiyuki would received a different treatment for his rare grade skill in the past. But now, as skills more explored and studied for quite a while. The large guilds and corps criteria became harsher and more specific.
It was just ''no name'' rare-grade skill with quite costly requirements. It is not something worth that they would send an invite, let alone a representative.
"Nanten stop think the others woud be same us. He may can''t join a tops guild or corps, but he still be received as an important figure in any other second-rate guilds or corps."
Hachiman explained as he checks the real-time graph of the stock on his phone. With his trusted escorts beside him, Hachiman became a bit more talkative.
"Now, what do you think will happen if you suddenly give a large amount of money, authority, and real power to a showy person like Jun Yoshiyuki, who is used to living off his girlfriend''s money like a lapdog?"
"He would rebel ?"
"Rebel? That is a naive word. You are underestimating the so-called manly pride of those bikers. That is all, don''t forget to note your homework this time."
"Aaaw~"
Hachiman cuts an end to his explanation in mid-way after reaching the entrance of his classroom. This time he spent while class in peace as all bullies would know with the arrival of his escorts they must drop their act, let alone even trying to look funny Hachiman as they know the bloody end of anyone who tried their luck.
Following the sound of the bell, school time reached its end. Like others, Hachiman and his escorts left through the school''s gate towards the car.
"Souten, did you get the thing I asked ?"
"Young master, just like you said. We got the best one that is just fresh out of the oven."
Opening the car''s back door with a smile Souten showed off a clean package of piroshki in a plastic bag. One would easily imagine its deliciousness just by taking a whip from its smell, feeling its crunchy exterior with a push of a finger.
"Nnn, good. Then let''s go before it turns soft."
Satisfied with the quality of the product, Hachiman gave his driver an order to move specific place. As a legitimate head of the group that controls several territories, Hachiman always had a mountain of work, but he will always give himself some free time to visit one place.
"Young master, we have arrived."
After some time, the car stopped in front of the gate of a simple two-story house. This was the house where his big sister Intetsu Kanamori live.
Chapter 4: Intetsu Hachiman Part 4/end/
It was a simple-looking two-floor house with all of the windows blocked with shutters. The house itself looked like that one could usually happen to be the residence of a simple middle-class family. And four years ago, it was. After leaving behind his escorts, Hachiman walked towards the house''s entrance.
Maybe things would be a bit different if I found my skill earlier, no! it wouldn''t change a thing. Reaching the door''s knob, a usual line of thought appeared in Hachiman''s head like a timed alarm.
Pushing open the entrance door, a spacious corridor connected to various rooms appeared in front of Hachiman. Calmly swapping his shoes with comfortable slippers, he walked into the dining room.
The dining room was clean and quiet, with no noise except the moving sound of the maid robot going in between the table and kitchen, preparing the plates at the usual time.
Placing the still warm box of piroshki on the desk, Hachiman took out a special drink from his vault placed it beside the box, and hid his rings before shouting towards the stairs.
"Sister, I bought food and drinks. Come down!"
A moment later, Hachiman began to hear a faint sound of footsteps walking down the stair. It was a thin and sick-looking woman with hunched back.
"Hachiman, you have arrived. You.....should....told me....*cough* phone."
The woman tried to talk naturally but ended up being unable to finish her sentence due to being unable to breathe properly from her weak body.
Her name is Intetsu Kanamori, Hachiman''s big sister. Kanamori had long haggard grey hair with no gloss or luster, and large slightly weeping eyes that were now sunken back to her eyesocket from malnourishment. She had a straight bridge nose and small, thin lips with almost no color.
Due to her having almost no fat or muscle, she looked like some human skin placed over a skeleton. Hachiman could easily see her various bones protruding out from her white skin stretching out like a plastic bag. And despite her wrenched and broken appearance, she was actually only 22 years old.
It was hard to keep looking straight at her without pulling away from one''s eyes due to her uncanny appearance. But Hachiman did it without any problem without showing any sign of disgust or fear.
And he did it for a reason.
"Hello, big sister~~. I bought your favorite piroshki with beef and potato filling."
Standing up from a chair, Hachiman tried to take the twig-like arms of her big sister with a cute jolly tone and presented her favorite food. The moment he touches her, he felt his big sister''s body begin to shake like she was under a snowstorm.
"Ooh, nice! No wonder It smells delicious. Heh, ~~ looks like room temp*cough*got bit low."
Kanamori tried her best to play off her shivering, but there was no help. But her brother continues to follow her bad play. It was symptoms of a serious case of anthropophobia she has.
"It''s okay big sis, I got your drink right here, and it chilled."Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Hachiman said while giving a gentle pull to her big sister''s arms asking her to take a seat before pulling his hand away. He didn''t want her to feel any more uncomfortable. But at least it was far better than before.
He clearly remembers how she couldn''t even breathe under his sight, let alone let him touch her skin. It was not always this way in the past.
His sister Intetsu Kanamori was quite a different person than her current self. She was beautiful, healthy, strong, and a bit arrogant, but there was no help since it was something bound to happen to a natural-born genius like her who blessed with perfect mind and body that can do anything.
She was a bit loner, but she was a very family person. But then it all happened five years ago when he returns from a class trip. He was greeted with an empty house followed by a sudden call from the police that they found his big sister on the ground of a kid''s playground in the middle of her own puddle of blood.
Later he found out from his neighbor and police report that in the morning their parents suddenly became like completely different person before deciding to leave them for no reason. No matter how much her sister pleaded and cried.
First, their mother who just disappeared without a trace, followed by their father running away. At that time, her big sister was able to catch up to him and tried to let him stay. A moment when her sister woke up from the coma, his past self tried to ask what happen to her mother and father without realizing at that moment she has already developed anthropophobia due to heavy trauma.
In the next few months, his sister''s body became weaker and weaker as doctors found her body got crippled from the fight with her father. But despite her wounds already healed, the doctors and healers couldn''t find a reason behind the rapid deterioration of her health. Eventually, her sister decided to stop its useless treatments through the phone before it take all they have left.
Later, thought the news they found out their parents became famous awakened in South Korea and China under a different persona. At that moment, they understood that they were no longer their parents but some monster that wearing their already dead skin after killing them.
But it was something already too late, while those monsters become top awakened of their respective places. Her sister was stuck in their old house due to her weak body and trauma while himself just awakened his skill and trying to earn some money to make it work.
But that doesn''t mean he has forgotten it, he just decided to put it aside for more important things like his sister''s both mental and physical health getting deteriorated even more due to the constant swarm of people who wanted to dig the story about their ''dead parents''.
"Hnn~~, I never get enough of this crispy feeling."
Kanamori said while taking a small bite from her piroshki. After two or three bites later, she reached her can of specially prepared drinks taking a few sips. Meanwhile, Hachiman also eats his own while occasionally taking glances at her sister taking notes of her intake.
Upon a quick glance at their quiet meal, one would think bad about the relationship between the siblings. But in reality, both Hachiman and Kanamori were just people with very few words for their close ones. And even if one tries to start some conversation, he or she will immediately hit a roadblock as both of them know what their life is like and how they spend a day. Making pointless to speak of a thing that both of them know of.
"Thanks for the meal."
Just like that, they ended their silent yet harmonious meal. Feeling full after consuming three piroshki, Hachiman saw his sister Kanamori putting down a single half eater piroshki on the plate after letting out a small burp. It was at least two more bites than the last.
"Big sis, should I put your leftover in a refrigerator ?"
"Hachi, you don''t need to trouble yourself. I can at least do that much. Now go! your girls are waiting."
"Okay, big sister. Bye, don''t forget to finish your drink."
Just like a little boy leaving for a new semester Hachiman left through the door before going back to his grumpy face the moment he passed the gate.
He felt angry again after seeing the appearance of his sister and remembering the faces of those bastards living their life like it''s nothing.
"Oh, hi young master!"
"Do you want me to put your rings back ~~"
"Yes, now give me documents of those sons of bitches selling drugs on my territory!"
While going through the documents, Hachiman found very familiar faces of people.
"Jun Yoshiyuki and Yoneda Chieko?"
"Ahahaha, is that boss''s bully ?"
"Sure, sure and that is her boyfriend!"
Seems like his stress relief found its way.
Chapter 5: Acceptance and Invitation part 1
Watching her little brother closing the door in front of her, Kanamori felt emotional for the moment as she felt like her little brother will disappear into another world.
"HaaaACK! *Cough* *Cough*, Damn it!"
Heaving her moment cut off by her own coughing fit, Kanamori couldn''t help but feel sour at herself.
"Well, then."
Kanamori turns around and walks towards the second floor with her drink. Even thou she is already feeling full, she must finish her special drink as it is the only thing that allows her to live her life. It was more of a mixture that allow her to obtain all required vitamins, supplements, and almost twice the amount of protein in the hope of putting some fat.
Because right now, it''s impossible for her to obtain the required nourishment through meals as her body is no longer able to take in much before forcing her to feel full despite how much she wanted to eat.
Reaching the second floor, Kanamori pushed open the door to the room on her left. A large room filled with various training equipment appeared before her. This room has previously belonged to their parents, but she decided to convert it into a training room after moving their shrine to her bedroom.
Despite being crippled, betrayed, and traumatized, Kanamori never gave up in the first place. Maybe her dump stubborn nature is played some part, but mostly it because she didn''t know anything besides that.
As usual, Kanamori tried to run on the tread to warm up her body and ended up exhausting herself only after running about a few meters at two speeds.
''I held ten more seconds than usual!'' Giving a pat on her back, Kanamori tried to push up. After taking a stance, she pulled then!
"HUP! GHK!"
After letting out a funny sound from her mouth, Kanamori''s twig-like arms couldn''t hold it anymore before giving out.
''Good thing maid robots cleaned the.'' thought Kanamori stood up after giving a deep kiss to the soft cushion she was laying on. May it looked funny, but it is something she had done every day and never thought of stopping anyway.
Jumping, weight lifting, punching, Kanamori did everything to limit her broken body can. Even she doesn''t know why but she felt like she is waiting for something.
Maybe it''s fuel, spark, or some feeling that she forgot.
Then she walked down to the dining room and took out her half-eaten piroshki along with three more left in the box, then heated them in an oven. As time goes, the room began to fill with the heavy smell seeping out from gaps of an old oven, igniting Kanamori''s appetite.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
And just like usual, Kanamori placed her half-eaten piroshki on her plate along with others and then tried to gobble them up like in the past. Only ends up barely finishing her previous half-eaten one before feeling full.
Even though she liked to exercise and train, it wielded no results due to her body. Even though she likes to eat and taste things, she was forced to have no appetite. It was the worst feeling for Kanamori.
Then night came.
"Miss, Kanamori may I suggest returning to your room for your social time before taking a rest. "
"Okay~~."
The maid robot''s suggestion was just another term for saying that her to play some online game. It was something doctors recommended to her as a way to fix her anthropophobia through a medium.
Behind the door, Kanamori saw a simple room with a large bed, shrine, pc, and virtual reality device that was shaped like a helmet laying on the bed. At first, they tried virtual reality but proved to be a little bit too much for her as she can feel the eyes and hear the words of people aimed at her easily triggering her trauma.
So they took a step even further and introduced her to an online game that doesn''t make her feel too realistic like the last one while still giving her to chance to socialize with people.
''What is that even mean ?''
Of course, that is what Kanamori said after hearing their explanation behind forcing her to play an online match full of people screaming through the mic towards the screen.
After playing a few times that Kanamori found out her phobia really doesn''t appear when she is seeing and conversing with people through the screen but that was it as it didn''t help slightest in real life. But she can''t refuse her brother''s plea that mixed with a little bit of hope.
"Well, at least it is fun in somewhat way."
Feeling headache and eye strain Kanamori immediately quits the game and lays on top of her bed before turning her pc off. This was her daily life woke up, clean, try to eat, try to train, try to show her healthy side, try to train again, try to cure her phobia, and sleep.
Just like dancing to one song placed on constant repeat, sometimes the song would deviate or skip some part, but that was it. She repeated the same song for more than five years.
To tell truth she was already bored of this song and tried her best to change its pacing or even the lyrics themselves, but it was no wail. Maybe this song would continue its pace and she will continue to dance its tune until her last breath.
Maybe that is an alright in its own way to continue to listen to this old song fallen behind its time. She hasn''t lost everything, and her brother has already become a person who can carry himself.
"Become an old aunt seeing over little red mantou of her brother. Maybe it doesn''t sound that bad."
With the thought of being an old lady surrounded by cute little childrens of her brother and his wives, Kanamori went to sleep with a little grin plastered over her chost like face.
But then in mids of her dream, she saw a very familiar blue screen.
The Great Father of Proliferation took an interest in your dream and the skill you possess.
The Great Father of Proliferation likes to meet you. Would you like to receive his invite?
