Yep, they're all checking her out right now. The Goddess can feel and see that everyone in the party was looking at her bizarre outfit. Well, lack of. Showing most of her skin, Zellana pretends to flaunt her stuff. Secretly, she really wants to put on a jacket, a cloak, anything to fight against the cold. Right now, she is trying her best not to show these strangers such weakness. Granted, the summoned heroes thought otherwise.

  One of the girls got off of her horse, rushing over to Zellana. She undoes her cloak and wraps it around the dungeon master. Touched by this, Zellana gives a kind smile towards the bookworm. She has the shy type personality, the looks, the vibe, everything about her highlighted it. Although the dungeon master was a bit doubtful of it since the bookworm was the one who made a move on her. Hmmm, maybe this girl was a lesbian? And she didn't even need to do anything to corrupt her- Eh... enlist her. Totally meant to say enlist. Zellana looks at her figure, confused at her outfit. There was nothing too appealing about it, the baggy clothes hiding all of her assets. Secretly hissing through her lips, she glares at the only noticeable features she has. The bookworm has dark frame glasses on her cute little nose, brown shoulder-length hair stopping around her neck. Her bangs are parted, showing her blue pupils along with a bit of makeup like eyeliner and some blush. Noticing Zellana intense gaze, she shyly raises her hands to her mouth. How cute-

  "Whoa, is she like some model? Goddamn. She's hot! Yo! Name's Nathan!" Why the hell is there a generic dude that always try to hit on her? Please tell me he isn't thinking about it. Zellana glance towards the man who called her out. The boy seems alright in terms of his physical build. Hell, underneath his tight muscle shirt, he would definitely score some points with the ladies. Although Zellana is not one of them. It was interesting enough to see that his girlfriend rammed her elbow into his side, whispering something. With such obvious indicators, these two are a couple. They both have blonde hair, hinting at a European or American background maybe? Maybe. The boy definitely had a muscular body, hinting at a career in athletics or a model of some sort. Messy short hair, dark brown eyes, somewhat tan skin, and standing a bit taller than the average height of a male. His girlfriend is definitely screaming out model material. And her attitude, oh la la. Zellana, even though they just met for a few seconds, is planning various plans to get them on her side. Might be a bit rude though, due to various circumstances on their end, but maybe...

  Anyways, his girlfriend has long curly blonde hair, wearing sunglasses over her forehead. Unlike Zellana, she was wearing a very simple outfit of tight blue jeans, some black boots, and a designer jacket over a white t-shirt. Heh. White... She has doomed herself by wearing a white colored top. If only she has access to- she's glaring at Zellana. Their eyes met for a second, the younger girl turning her gaze to her boyfriend. She starts to scold him, telling the man to restrain himself from making such comments. Huh, she's tall as well, certainly winning some points from Zellana.

  The blonde male wasn't the only athlete though. A dark-skinned female was off to the side, doing a couple of stretches. She was wearing a dark blue tank top, shorts, and sneakers with green laces. Her dark hair is tied up in a ponytail, pulling her right arm behind her head. She has a thin build, but she does have some nice toned out legs. Zellana noticed that the amount of summoned heroes were quite a handful. Reading from those books, they're usually teenagers or kids from college or below, right? How come this party, which Zellana thought was pretty small, was actually huge!

  Thirty-two of them!? Thirty fucking two!?!

  Zellana, trying her best to hide her shock, turned her attention towards the old geezer. Yes, the old knight protecting these summoned heroes- Why did he sigh? Why is he sighing?!

  "Looks like we found another one, huh?" the man stated, "Sorry about my behavior, miss, but I just have a handful of issues. You see, there are just too many summoned heroes-"

  "This is why I suggest a split from the main party. If those who can manage themselves just fine should venture at their own pace while those who need help and guidance should stay with you, we can finish our mission relatively quick." The person who spoke up was a man who had clean hair with glasses. Wearing a suit, Zellana can tell that this man was a business figure of the sort. His gestures also gave it away, twirling his right hand in a circular motion and spreading it outwards in a sweeping motion.

  "I agree with this. No offense, despite your experience, we have a big group that will get nothing done if we continue to stick together. It is best if we do split up, finishing up this quest with better results." A dark-haired woman steps up, her hair in a bun, as she pushes her own glasses up against her face. She's wearing a suit as well, or the female equivalent, grabbing Zellana's attention. Before Zellana can do more sightseeing on these summoned beings, the old man conceded to their suggestion.

  "You have a point. There is no need for us to stay together... Those who need help should stick with us! Everyone else, get into your own groups. Decide amongst yourself who is going to be your party leader! After that, we shall all split up and clear the area of these vermins! Make sure to get back to the city around sunset!" There was a lot of chatter through the group, but everyone started to break off. Zellana, on the other hand, contemplated her choices. Closing her eyes, she went into deep thought, trying to figure out her course of action.

  Obviously, she needed dungeon points. Very important. Really important. No need to repeat herself to why, but HOW exactly should she do this? Yes, her clone, this clone, Clone #42, survived the horrible onslaught from her initial invasion back into Tiapra. Yet this clone needs levels and a job. To do that, she needs experience. To get experience, she needs to be in a reliable party... But for this disguise to work, she needs to act clueless... To a certain degree. Because she made a somewhat strong impression (questionable) to this group, she shouldn't know as much when it comes to the function of this world. What that being said, she could go towards the ones who got the hang of it, most likely hanging with the adults as they see if Zellana has the wits to understand everything. OR she could hang out with the teenagers who barely know anything and let the old geezer fill her in on everything. Unlike the former option, the old knight will know about the politics and news about the world. Going to that group has a lot of positive, thinking about it. With that being said-

  "Eh... Guess we're a group." Huh? Zellana opened her eyes to stare at a small group around her. Checking the area, the other groups have already left. The dungeon master cursed at this, facepalming at her stupidity. One, she should have kept her eyes open. Two, she should have paid attention more to her environment. Then again, the second point couldn't be helped due to her low stats. Being a level one again sucks. Luckily, Zellana recognized most of the faces around her due to her silent people watching. Gen, the Japanese student, seems to be the party leader. He seems to have the most experience out of the small group Zellana was in. Note that this was from pure deduction skills because everyone was talking to him. If Zellana was back in her former body, she could easily see Gen's levels, abilities, and other snippets of his build. As a level one with two abilities, both being useless right now, Zellana is just leeching off of this party. Which is good. She needs materials for monsters, materials for dungeon points, and materials... for dungeon points. Goddamn dungeon points had to be an essential component for life now. Stupid system and stupid changes. 2000 years-

  Being 2000 years, shit hasn't changed as much. It seems like the world still have its fantasy-like things. Swords, shields, magic, and horses are still relevant in this era. Seriously though? What gives? As Zellana complained about how Tiapra lacked any huge movement, the other party members start to speak up.

  "So we took down one of the green slimes. Did someone collect the core?"

  "Yep." Answered the blonde male, "We still have to hunt down a couple more of these fellas."

  "Right. You and I can be the vanguard. Alicia can defend the rear if something tries to sneak up on us. Everyone else can stay in the middle." Gen stated.

  "Right. Shouldn't we ask that woman what her name is? She's been awfully quiet." The blonde model pointed towards Zellana. The dungeon master in question was having a mental breakdown, confused to why Tiapra was lacking in so many fields. By her crazed state, it looked like the woman was going through a mental crisis. Sadly, her observers thought she was going crazy due to their current situation. A different world, monsters, magic being a thing, they thought it was too much for Zellana. If only it was true.

  "E-Eh? O-Oh, sorry." Zellana got out of her panicked state, letting out a low laugh, "I-I was just thinking about... I was on a date with someone... And then this happened." Most of the party members either let out a sigh, showed jealousy, or sympathy. The blonde model made a troubled expression, hiding it before Zellana could see her. The bookworm whispered her apologies to Zellana, shyly fidgetting in place. What Zellana didn't expect was two full-grown woman consulting her. Now this, this was what she wanted. Even though it wasn't true, she did like the approach. Hehehehe, thank god for her awesome body. The first girl who approached her was a redhead. She seems to be in her twenties, giving off a very carefree attitude. Her long straight red hair flows in the wind as her blue eyes gaze at Zellana in a very mischievous manner. The woman had a nice body, on par with the blonde model, but this girl seems to have a lot more definition in a lot of areas. And it seems like she's toned as well. She has black boots on, some dark baggy pants, a grey tank top with a shield and sword behind her back.

  "Hey, I'm Alicia. If you need to talk about anything, just let me know. I know that coming to this world might be tough, but I think you'll get over it soon enough. If you need an ear, I can lend you mine." She gives a nice smile, showing her white teeth. There must be some sort of motive behind this, especially from that look in her eyes, but Zellana just nods her head. She can be ignorant for now. The other adult female who closed in on her was a nurse. She seems to fit the nurse stereotype from animes, but oh boy... She was a bit too charming in so many ways. She has charming yellow eyes that remind Zellana of some gemstones with flawless, smooth skin. Heck, Zellana doesn't know if it is smooth, but it looked like it. If that made any sense. Her facial structure has a mix of cute and alluring, her hair tied up in a bun. A fancy bun that has braids here and there. Yep, she was wearing a pink nurse outfit. The skirt stopped around her upper thigh with her white stocking covering her lower half. With pink heels, a cute hat, and a plain pink top that somehow defines the shape of her breasts in an intoxicating manner, Zellana felt like she hit the jackpot for now. Screw the other groups, she liked this one. But that wasn't the best part. Oh no. The thing that got to Zellana was her accent. A French accent.

  "If you need any help, just know that I'm also here for you."

  "A-And me too." The last one came the bookworm. Unable to contain her joy, Zellana smiles towards the three of them. This smile was quite deadly since it was a genuine smile from the bottom of a Goddess' heart.

  "T-Thank you! You are all so kind!"

  "Can we get a move on?" the blonde model rolled her eyes, "We have a quest to complete?"

  "Hey, Emma, don't need to be rude now." The redhead started, "We are just making sure she's not traumatized as much. At least you have your boyfriend with you." Unable to argue against that, Emma went to her boyfriend's side. Deciding to get a move on, they continue their walk through the forest. Staying with the back, Zellana got to learn the names of the people she already identified. Emma's boyfriend name was Gunter, the bookworm was Delilah. The redhead was Alicia and the sexy nurse is Elsa. There are several other members in their party, but Zellana chose to ignore them for now. She was a bit fascinated with the girls who confronted her. Asking various questions about the world, Zellana got the rundown of most of it. Like any generic setting, the summoned Earthlings are here to stop the forces of evil.

  Unlike the generic villain, there are a lot more issues involving politics... and dungeons.

  Apparently, the disappearance of herself, Zellana, made a huge disaster to the world. Which is weird because... she left because it was peaceful. The moment she left, a lot of things happened. For one, the treaty for peace was destroyed, ushering the allied forces that wanted to fight against the [Demon King] to raise up again. With no help from the notorious Goddess, the [Demon King] lost to the invaders. With their victory, many other issues popped up between certain races. There were civil wars inside some of these races, especially with the humans, once they conquered they won against the [Demon King]. Certain races under the [Demon King] started to back together to repel against the allied forces, ushering more conflicts. Surprisingly, even if 2000 years flew by, everyone still talks about her, Zellana, the one-of-a-kind dungeon master throughout Tiapra. People blame her sudden disappearance for the erratic and disruptive state that Tiapra was in. If she was still in Tiapra 2000 years ago, these things wouldn't have happened.

  But this is just one of the many problems.

  The biggest issue was the shit tons of dungeons created by former lovers. Yes, former lovers. Since it has been 2000 years, most of them could be dead now, but they did take a bit of Zellana's methods and notes on making their own dungeons. Somewhere between 2000 years ago and now, the number of dungeons had drastically increased to the point where the almighty unknown beings had to tamper around with several things. One of these things being the number of dungeon points needed to get a dungeon core back. Not only that, there are higher leveled dungeons now compared to the days of old. This was... a bad thing since Zellana was back, and she will have to compete with these other dungeons in due time. Not right now though, for obvious reasons.

  When her group explained this part, this went hand-in-hand to way Tiapra wasn't as advanced as they should be. Due to the number of dungeons scattered throughout the world, they have played a major influence on any sort of movement. Rulers, governors, any leading position and dungeon masters tend to find a common ground of interest to improve their status. Be it in politics, industrial, social, the two coexist to help each other if they agreed to such terms. Especially when it comes to a city, town, village, whatever, near that dungeon. Sadly, with a large number of dungeons about, it seems like the dungeon masters are ruling the planet. Which is a good and/or bad thing. You see, [Dungeon Crawlers] are sent to make diplomatic talks for their clients. Once they dungeon master approves or don't, then it will influence the nearby settlement. If the dungeon master agreed to coexist and deal with the ruler of the nearby settlement, the settlement will get an influx of whatever that dungeon can do, making advances in its own standings. It could be in trade, military arms, anything that can boost the settlement's worth. Now, if the dungeon master thinks otherwise, and dislikes the deals and wants to attack the nearby settlement, then that's a different story. Problem is, with so many dungeon masters about, one settlement will be having to deal with several dungeons around it. Meaning that the dungeon masters may all be in favor of helping or they might want to destroy the nearby settlement.

  Simply put it, too many dungeons will create shitloads of issues for Tiapra. And guess who is to blame for all of this.

  Zellana.

  Yep, most of the dungeons copied her dungeon, making strong monsters or creating a strong dungeon that won't be conquered or destroyed so easily. Secretly, Zellana was impressed by her former lovers. They seriously took notes on her and her dungeon, making the world fear them. On the flip side, this will be an issue when they realize that Zellana is back. There will be a lot of tensions.

  ANYWAYS, there was another reason to why this point was made. If the rulers and dungeon masters do not coexist with one another, any sort of progression to that city, or the world as a whole, will never happen. For example, Zellana, when she served for the [Demon King], gave the man several advanced prototypes of weapons from out of this world. Railguns, laser weapons, magical guns, and cannons, she made weapons that went beyond the fantasy norms. Because of this development, the settlements under the [Demon King]'s control started to industrialize themselves. They created factories that started to revolutionize production in so many ways. They created more jobs, easily created mass quantities of various items for everyday life or for war, and increased their economic wealth. But now, the summoned heroes do not have any information on the world's current standings. For Earth, it's modernized. They moved from the shield and sword into an era of a whole different level. Tiapra seems to be the same still.

  Or is it?

  Zellana needs to consult with a former lover or a significant figure like the ruler of the nearby area. Yet she got a feeling that she needs to be careful. If she was the one who started this, her identity might be jeopardized already. Also, if she opens up her dungeon, she seriously needs some sort of protection. Everyone would want to pick a bone with her. Literally, everyone may want a bone from her for fucking up the peace. Then again, it's easier to place a blame on someone who wasn't in this world anymore.

  On a good note, there are lot more lesbians and gays in this world. Zellana can perfectly claim this as her doing because... it was her doing. Lesbomancy, bwhahahahahahahaha! She can boast about this proudly, not regretting this at all. Even though she did tear couples apart, broke some hearts, took away pure innocence from some girls, she does not regret this at all.

  As Zellana absorbs all of this information, her group started to talk about her. Good, she wants to hear their opinions about her past deeds. Let's hear what these newbies have to say about her.

  "I can't believe they're talking about this woman after 2000 years though? Shouldn't they, I don't know, move on. I understand the urgency and need to explain how it happened, but it seems like a lot of people can't get over this chick. It's like the world was- is- obsessed with this former dungeon master." Emma stated. Huh, who knew that this model was going to say something... rational? And somewhat nice? Slightly, but she has a point. Why the hell are they still pinning the blame on her after 2000 years?

  "I don't know how they deal with politics, but I bet it's something else. Her former lovers are scattered throughout the world, right? Maybe some of them are the high leaders of this world. Someone might have placed the blame on her because she left them. I mean, some of the current high ranking dungeons were a part of Zellana's harem. And damn, I kind of wish I had a-"

  "Don't even start that Gunter." Emma gave a cold glare at her boyfriend, silencing the idiot.

  "Either way, I am just glad that we can use magic!" Gen interjected, "This world has everything you find in a video game."

  "If only I can view this as a video game instead of our life now." Gunter muttered, "I mean, they have-"

  "Gunter," Emma warned again. "Don't." Zellana giggled at the couple. They're cute. The dungeon master kept her distance, making sure to watch them at a safe distance. Alicia giggled as well.

  "You're enjoying yourself now? See, we're not that bad."

  "Oui, we aren't." Oh god, Elsa's french accent... Zellana wanted to ra- mean, interact with her a bit more privately. The former goddess debated on a sudden thought that could defy her earlier thoughts about being safe. With her current clone, things are bound to happen if she doesn't have any allies. Yes, she can befriend the girls who approached her, but she needs them to be loyal to her. What happens if something bad happened right now where her clone died? She can't just reappear before the group again without bringing up a lot of questions. If she had to answer them truthfully, she'll reveal her identity.

  Maybe Zellana should have planned this out a bit more thoroughly.

  The things you do when you're all alone.

  Sigh.

  Delilah invaded Zellana's sight, blushing heavily. Looking at her closely, Zellana had another nagging feeling that chewed on her brain. And the fact that Delilah was close to her face was dangerous. Dangerous to her, not Zellana. Because the goddess would have kissed her lips and start to fuck her right there and then. Staring into her cute eyes, Delilah said something that made the dungeon master go still.

  "I... remember... you... Zellana." Her voice was so soft, Zellana was the only one who heard it. Despite Elsa and Alicia being close by, Delilah whispered this for the former goddess alone. Making sure she didn't stay in place for too long, she continued to move. Zellana, being inside of the clone, started to sweat madly, confused by this sudden revelation. It's great that Delilah remembers her, but the dungeon master doesn't remember her that much... Oh god.

  Let's hope Delilah isn't going to turn her in. Hell, she could just use this against her to...

  Nevermind, Delilah ain't a shy girl no more. She an evil girl.

  But, knowing that Zellana slept and made out with so many girls, Delilah and her must have seen each other on Earth. Heck, by the blushes and glances, they must have done it. No girl would be looking at her like that if they haven't fucked. Frowning at her bad memory, or trying to remember Delilah due to her notorious amount of lovers she had done it with, the former dungeon master needs to pull this girl off to the side and chat with her. Even if she's a clone, she will get the information out of her.

  Even if she has to fuck it out of her.

  Yep.

  And with this, Zellana decided to abandon her former plans. Screw secrecy, screw the caution, she is going to get her dungeon back up again and get these three girls to help her. It would take months, maybe a year, if she tried to raise up this clone's level and stay as human as possible. Once she dies in the face of these heroes, they will find it eerily suspicious if she came back to them intact.

  Staring at Delilah once more, the bookworm seems to understand Zellana's true nature. Is she able to read her mind? She was giving a... gentle smile, but it had some sort of mischief behind it. Well, it was safe to say that Delilah is an ally, seeing all of the indicators that they had a positive relationship.

  Now, let's get started.
