I set my pen down and shot a glance towards the boss. I looked at the boss as I looked over its public profile.
Na: Alessia Veers. The Champion of the Empress
The na was composed of violet-colored text. I wonder what the colors ant. Was there a legend or sothing for this? I looked through my nus for a little while, following link after link. Eventually, I ca across a danger rating guide. m
Guide to Danger Rating for mobs in Domains:
Typical Mobs
White: A typical run-of-the-mill mob.
Green: A mob that is slightly stronger than the average level of mobs in the domain
Blue: A mob that has crossed a strength threshold and is considered an elite.
Boss Mob Ratings:
Red: Usually denotes a miniboss or an equal in strength.
Violet: Denotes a typical boss
Orange: Denotes a boss that far exceeds the strength of the collected party
Silver: Denotes a boss that requires a full raid group to take down.
Rainbow: Denotes a boss that far exceeds the power of multiple raiding groups.
Brown: Denotes a boss that stands above all and would take a full military detachnt to bring down.
Black: Nothing will save you
Flag ratings:
Flag bosses are unique in that they are widely different then most bosses that exist within domains. Only four are allowed to exist at any one ti. They have no set route or path and are not bound by any rules. They can roam wherever they please, and aggression is not dropped if the party leaves the domain. Each boss is designated by the flag that is carried upon their back. Each flag rating denotes exponential growth, with four flags denoting a world-class threat. Please use this boss class wisely.
There was so much, but at least it could be determined at a glance. I shifted my gaze from my nus over to her, filing away the newly acquired information. Now, what was her lore going to be? I wanted sothing more profound than just a champion. I brought the pen up to my lips and began to chew on it as I thought over her lore a bit and wrote down a few key points.
-Champion to the empress.
-Formally a peasant who climbed their way up the military ladder, eventually becoming my right hand.
-Forr knight of the Order of the Blue Rose.
-Loved by the citizens of the empire.
-Leader of the royal guard.
-was betrayed near the end of the empire's life and cut down defending the palace.
I looked it over and nodded my head. It was a good start. However, I had no intention to craft out a detailed back story for her entirely. It would take a whole lot of ti and patience that I didn't have. I just needed a few of the basics, and then from there, I can write more and feed her the information. I gently pulled the sheet from the notebook, placed it on top, and motioned for her to walk over to the desk. Once she was in position, I took a deep breath. Alright, All I had to do was transmute this information to her. I tugged on that feeling that I felt in my chest when I interacted with that room upstairs. At first, it resisted before it caved and started to pulse. I pointed my finger at the paper on the desk, and the power rushed from my fingertips. However, this ti, it was a grey filant of energy.
It touched the paper and quickly began to dissolve it. I really hope this works; I would hate to run out of notebook paper, I thought to myself as I let the energy consu the words on the paper. Once it was done I pointed my finger at Alessia, with the focused intent of passing the knowledge onto her. The energy began to slither across the air. It wrapped its self around her head, and a prompt appeared in my vision.
You are attempting to override 'Alessia Veers' previous mory.
Current mory:
32% Corrupted
18% Erased
50% Normal
Percent chance to override: 50%
So, the higher the lost mory, the higher the chance to override it. The question was, could I only do that with the boss or with all the mobs? Would I even want to do it for every mob? Would it even be worth it was the next question? Maybe this was sothing I should leave to all the vital characters and the ones that beco sapient. That way I could save on resources. Once I made my choice, a hollow well filled my chest. Here I was attempting to erase soone's mories. Did that make a bad person? Taking away sothing as precious as mories. I bit my lip I confird my choice before my mind could stop . Whoever you were in a past life, I hope you could find it in your heart to forgive . The tendril of energy squeezed its way into her head, and for a brief few monts, I could feel my heart beating roughly in my chest as a wave of anticipation and guilt. I was conflicted on if I actually wanted this to work or not. So I stared on for a few more agonizing monts before the prompt reappeared.
Override successful. Since this is a created mory, you are free to alter it as you please. However, each change will cost essence points.
My mood fell slightly as I read the prompt. Goodbye, whoever you were, Ill keep whatever I knew of you in my mind. I took a mont to look over Alessia and see if I could spot any change in her deanor. Her eyes still stared ahead, yet; they seed to have a certain edge to them. Nothing I would quite say as intelligent, though. I tore my gaze from her and grabbed my notebook yet again.
She was a unique boss, and I wanted to keep her by my side. I had no idea how domain gods were treated in this world, and I needed to keep myself safe until I could protect myself. I sat back in my chair after a few monts and rubbed my eyes. This was a lot more work than I thought it would be, and I still had two more bosses to go, and that's not counting Kharons lore. With my first boss completed, for the most part, I decided to take a break. I want to bump up the next two to at least a t2 mob before pushing them into being a boss. That way, they can pose a challenge to those who enter the dungeon. However, that will be soon, and I want to focus on other things for the ti being.
With a gesture, I opened up my domain screen and looked through it. I wanted to expand the size a bit and create a more significant entrance area. With that in mind, I selected the expansion tool and moved the bar to the outside of the edges of the domain. The screen flickered and asked how much land I wanted to create. After thinking it over I, I decided to expand it by another four kiloters to the total radius. I winced as I saw that alone would cost eight thousand essence total. God, this was draining my wallet. I confird the choice, and the ground shook violently for a few monts. I clenched the edge of the desk, terrified that my room was going to collapse in on itself. Small hand fulls of dirt rained from the cealing and into my desk as the ground trembled. Once it finished, I glanced at the map and pulled up the entrance tab in the nu, and designated two kiloters of the entire outer ring as the entrance. Let see what I can do with the entrance before I dive headfirst into it.
The domain entrance sets the the to the entire domain. This part of the domain takes precedence over all else, and its position will never change. Anything goes as long as the following rules are t.
Adventurers are not barred from entering If the entrance is turned into a trap, there is a way to cross it and survive.
I an, that was fair. I gazed at the customization screen and thought over what I wanted. This was supposed to be an undead kingdom, so did I want the entrance to be sothing like the entrance to the outpost, or do I want sothing unique and exquisite, like an arch or massive statues? I also had to consider that the zombies may or may not wander outside of the domain. So I had to devise a plan to keep them in a while still allowing the adventures to get inside.
While I was thinking it over, it hit . Why don't I make a river that encircles the entire domain? It could be like the river Styx from Greek mythology. Plus, it would be kind of cool and fittinga ferryman who keeps the dead in and escorts the living across the river. I am a genius! I glanced at the customization screen and fiddled with it for a bit to get the hang of it. I had dozens of tools here that I had to check out before I could start.
Once I was comfortable with them, I selected the sculpting tool and dug out twenty-five ters of the ground all around the entrance. Once that was finished, I filled it to the brim with water. With this, hopefully, those zombies can't get out. Otherwise, that would be quite deadly for all parties involved in the matter.
Now I have to lay this river with magical enhancents and traps. I scrolled through the list until I found magical enhancents. I clicked on it and began to read through the massive list.
The illusion of Despair: Exposes the user to their deepest fears, and pulls out the worst emotions possible.
The illusion of Avarice: Plays with the greed that is embedded within the heart of the viewer.
The illusion of mories: Shows the viewer their fondest mories and pulls them into a false sense of security.
Singular point: No matter where the domain is entered, all will be lead to the designated spot. If the spot is crowded, then they will cycle through the path until a spot opens.
Drowning Tides: The water acts with a mind of its own and attempts to drag the victim to its depths. This magical enhancent will only occur if physical contact occurs with the water.
Haunted depths: An extended version of the Drowning Tides magical enhancent. Whoever dies within the designated area will beco soul bound to it. The newly bound soul will attempt to pull others to join in their fate. This magical enhancent will only occur if physical contact occurs with the water.
*Due to the presence of multiple illusions, they will not occur on the sa target at once. Each will have a percentage chance to proc.
I liked these choices. It made the river deadly to cross by themselves and would force the adventures to take a path I wanted them to. Not to ntion it would keep the zombies in check. Now, all that would be left is to create a few simple docks so that adventures can be ferried over to the shore. What should I na this river, though? I couldn't go with Styx cause that was a little too on the nose for my taste. I wanted sothing quiet and down to earth. I stared at the screen for a while and couldn't think of a good na, so I went with sothing bland. 'The River of Lost Souls' at least it was to the point. Now all that was left was setting up the ferry system and figuring out how to make the nad areas appear to the adventures. Yay, it was ti for to go through these never-ending nus to figure out how to do it.
Hours later, I finally found it. It was tucked away in so hidden nus, and funny enough, it was just a simple setting that turned the current location public and allowed to rena selected areas. I swear these nus were sotis the most unintuitive thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. But on the other hand, I could also do anything I pleased here. I had the power to make adventures lives living hell, but here I am instead making a story that maybe only a handful would enjoy. The cost of art has no limits, apparently.
I typed in the na of the area and set the limits of its size. I went through and started to work on the coastlines, making sure they were nice and pretty before they too were labeled. I confird my choice and saved the entrance. Now let's finish the sky sphere, so I can finally get to the remaining bosses.
I pulled the nu up and went back to the sky sphere; I worked on the light a bit more until I got it exactly where I wanted it and saved it. I sat back and cracked my fingers, and rolled my neck. Aware of the ache that was starting to build up in between my shoulder blades and neck. I dismissed the screen and glanced over at the cot. I know that I don't need to sleep. However, that won't stop from doing it anyways.
I stood up and threw myself onto the cot, and rolled over to my back. I stared at the cent ceiling as thoughts began to tease my tired mind. This was my life now, a woman surrounded by a small horde of undead, trying to create a story. I crossed my hands behind my head and chuckled at my situation. Never would I have ever imagined I would be living a life like this. I rolled over to my side and thought about the various nus that I looked through today.
They were so convoluted to look through. I would have to talk to Kharon and see what I could do to minimize them cause if I have to look through everyone to find stuff, it will take forever to do what I need to do, and I only have a few months to get it all done. So much to do, such little ti.
