Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 31: Donovan's Second Year

( Precisely Eleven Months after the first volume. )

" He had grown so much, isn't he? " Irina says to me as both of us see Donovan who is practicing his sword skills.

" This is just the Eleventh Month after we had him in our family, and now his height is already like an eleven years old boy. " Irina says as she remembered how shocked she is seeing Donovan grows rapidly in eleven months.

Seeing that, I then remind her that Donovan's real age is still unknown since I myself did not know for how long he exist in that Dungeon, the Double Dungeon where I found him under the Black Tree.

" After seeing him like this, I wonder what his 'real' parents actually look like? " Irina says as she wonders that Donovan's real parents must have the same physique as him, a pitch-black skin, a pitch-black hair, and pitch-black everything.

After saying that, I then tell Irina that I would do my best to find out about Donovan's real parents while we take care of him as I touched Irina's stomach as she's been nine months pregnant with my child after a year of our marriage.

Back then, in the second month after we adopted Donovan, Irina somehow had a shocking event which led her to go to the hospital the doctor then scans her body and founds out that she is pregnant which made her other family happy including me, her husband.

As I touched her belly, I begin to look at Donovan, and in my heart, I thank him for being the sign of this good fortune and blessing in our family as I and Irina now believed that Donovan, the Pitch-Black Boy, the Child Founded from the Dungeon is a gift from the Heavens.

*Sword noises*

As Donovan is attacking the training robot in the Richter family's training room thanks to Hector's approval. We then decide to train Donovan there in the ways of sword and magic.

" That's enough for today Donnie!!! " I tell him as I praised Donovan's growth, hearing that, both Donovan and the training robot stop as the training is ended.

" Okay, dad!! " Donovan says to me as he then approaches us and asks us if there is more training that he needs to do we tell him that it is enough we then hug him and bring him out of the training room to meet with Hector who is already waiting for us as he greets Donovan.

" Hello there, Donovan it seems you have completed your training with a streak again. " Hector says as he brushes Donovan's black hair, praising him for being such a talented boy.

" Yeah grandpa, the training was great, I hope I can train more in that room!! " Donovan says which made his grandpa, his grandma, and the other people in that room laugh as they tell him that there will be more training he can do for the future, but for now, Hector tells him that the family for celebrating for Donovan later will have his sister, the female child that is now currently conceived in Irina's body.

As we party, the people there talked about when will Irina give birth to our daughter she tells them that the operation will be held on 16 September, 10 days after Donovan's birthday, and our anniversary which is held on 6 September.

Hearing that, Hector and the other Richter family member then cheered for the upcoming anniversary and cheered for Donovan as he will become 2 years old on that day.

After hours of celebration, we decided to stay in the Richter Family's mansion for the night as our house is very far from there since the mansion is in the mountains.

Back then, after a lot of parties, I and Irina decided to sleep first while Donovan asks me if he could have some time alone before sleeping I let him have it as I tell him to take his time and also warned him to not sleep late since we will leave the mansion tomorrow.

" Okay dad, good night!! "

" Good night, Don!! " I say while hugging the pregnant Irina who sleeps beside me, guarding her and our conceived daughter.

.......

"It seems dad is finally asleep. "

" System, can you hear me? "

< "Yes User Donovan, how could I help you? ">

" Well, System I remember you said that I still need 3 more levels to reach level 40, right? " Donovan says as he then asks the System what he needs to do now as he had finished the training quests and daily quests in that training earlier.

Hearing that, the System then gives him a message and notifies him that there is another Quest for him which is.

< Quest: Do Some Night Hunt >

< Task: Kill 24 Elite Monsters. >

" I see ... " Donovan says as he then summons his Black Shadows from the darkness as the black creatures from the shadows then attend to his call.

< Summon: >

< Black Shadow Minions (lvl.3) >

< Number: 50/50 >

< Black Shadow Beasts (lvl.3) >

< Number: 45/45 >

< Black Shadow Rouges (lvl.3) >

< Number: 30/30 >

" Are all of you here? " Donovan asks the Black Shadows that he summoned as they kneel to him while he prepares his robe as he will go outside since the System detects a Dungeon Gate near their place.

< Dungeon: Lair of the Dark Elves (Rare) >

< Required Level 31-34 >

" I see, so it seems that I am overqualified!!! " Donovan says as he then comes out from his window, followed by his summons as he jumps and leaves the Richter's mansion unnoticed.

< Name: Donovan Betzalel Richter-Grimshaw >

< Level: 37 >

As he left using the shadows of the night where he dodges every light in order to be unseen.

< Racial Skill: Shadow Transport >

< A skill that can be used by the User to use nearby shadows as quick transport. >

While transporting using the shadows, Donovan then says to his summons to be quick as the Dungeon won't be long until someone notices its presence as the System's map shows Donovan that the Dungeon Gate is opened in the mountain's forest which is out from anyone's reach. After seeing that, Donovan then quickly transported to the place minutes later, he arrived in front of the Dungeon with his Black Shadow Summons.

" Alright, the Dungeon is opened and there is no one that noticed its presence or even detected it. "

" Now, before anyone comes, we will the Dungeon first. "

" NOW!! Advance my Black Shadows!!! " Donovan orders as he marches in with his summons into the Dungeon.
