CH.108 Naming the Dungeon and Dungeon Master
(Master, the rooms have grown slightly again.) Laura said to as I was following my swordswon through the dungeon.
(How much?)
(They are 12 cm taller, 38 cm wider and 22 cm longer.)
(Isn’t that basically nothing?)
(At the mont, yes. But it's proof that the dungeon is growing and you should ntion it to Christina. The dungeon might even develop new rooms.)
(Oh. That might be useful. Perhaps if I install so more cards to the core I can force it to grow faster.)
(I can make a list of recomndations.) Laura said.
(Thanks.)
“Brian, these monsters. Why do you think they are the ones to appear?” Christina asked.
“No idea.” I told her. The dungeon nowadays was filled with human sized skeletons that had wooden clubs and little imps that carried sharpened sticks. In the seventh room, so of the imps had spears with a stone tip as well. And then there was the large skeleton boss monster. Last ti it was a dinosaur, but this ti it was a large, four legged beast with two horns. It almost looked like the horned bison I took down on my first day. The imps were similar to Spear Cretin, and the skeletons were almost the sa as Skull Servant. And perhaps the skeletal boss monsters took after Mammoth Graveyard, but were just different species.
“It just seems strange. Usually undead monsters like skeletons only die if you break their core, but these ones seem to die just by cutting them to pieces.” Christina comnted.
“Well if you don’t like it, we can possibly change what monsters the dungeon spawns. Probably. I don’t actually know if we can do it.” I told her.
“I think these would be fine as well, but perhaps we could add so variety to them.” She said.
“Here we are.” I said as we reached the core.
“That fool really did use it. I wasn’t fully convinced until I saw it myself.” Christina comnted as she looked at the dungeon core. She might still be angry at Brandon because he used an S-rank monster core for the dungeon core. Or perhaps she is perplexed. I guess using a high class monster core for a dungeon this small might be a waste.
“Well, I’m thankful for it. Because of the strong core the dungeon is growing.” I told her.
“Growing? Is it really?” Christina confird.
“Yes it is. The rooms have expanded slightly since last ti.” I told her. “Laura even said that the dungeon might grow new rooms with ti.”
“I would say that is great, but that ans a lot more work for us.” Christina said.
“Well, that’s true. But it should also result in more profit. But let’s get on with the naming.” I told her.
I walked over to the core and pulled up the managent nu.
Dungeon 22_090 (unnad)
Core Status: Strong
Miasma Status: Interdiate
Monster Status: So
Founder: Brian Wood
Current Master: None
Generation Points: 19853
Generatable Items
The miasma status has gone up. Hopefully that won’t cause a problem. I guess the spirits said sothing about the miasma building up in the area around this forest, so I guess this dungeon would absorb more of it. Perhaps I could try spawning more monsters and then just exterminating them with my summons. That might lower the miasma status. But I should ask Christina about it first. And perhaps do the card installing as well.
I touched on the current master part.
Na a Dungeon Master
Please have a person touch the core to na them as a Dungeon Master.
You must have at least one Dungeon Master before being able to na a Sub-Master.
So there can also be sub-masters. That might be good. Perhaps one of the maids could do that. Or perhaps I’ll even na Zayaan as a sub-master. That way Christina can still leave sotis, in case of sothing like parties or other celebrations that nobility take part in.
“Christina, please co touch the core.” I told my to be Dungeon Master.
“Is that all it takes?” She asked.
“I think so. But I think you need permission from the founder to do it. Or perhaps even a Dungeon Master can na another Dungeon Master.” I told her. “But that’s not important at the mont. Touch the core, please.”
Christina ca up next to and slowly inched her left hand to the core. As her hand reached the core, a ssage popped up.
Na Christina Watchman as a Dungeon Master
[Yes] [No]
Of course, Yes.
Permission acquired. Generating Dungeon Master terminal.
What happened next reminded of when I got my founder’s terminal. A light from the core gathered around Christina’s wrist, consolidating into a bracer. It wasn’t as large as mine and it had a slightly different appearance, but it was basically a copy otherwise. Except that it had a slot for a card on it. From the looks of it, for just one, but still. It’s sothing like an inferior version of my DiaDhank.
“... is this … a Dungeon Master terminal?” Christina asked, looking at the golden bracer on her arm.
“It should be. Also, you should take a look at your status. Based on the fact that the terminal has a slot for a card on it, I think you probably got the Card Summoner skill, but you should confirm it.” I told her.
Christina took a second to stare at the air in front of her. I hadn’t really considered it up until now, but I guess looking at your status might look a little strange to soone just looking at you. Unless you open it up, but that’s generally not a great idea.
“I got two new skills.” Christina said. “Card Summoner and Dungeon Master.”
“I see. I guess you would get a skill like that. I also gained a skill for Dungeon Founder.” I said. “But it’s good to hear that you did get Card Summoner.”
“Yes. Now, let us update this dungeon so we can open it to the public.” Christina said.
“Sure, but first, we should na the dungeon.” I said to Christina.
“We must na it after you.” Christina demanded.
“... do we really? I’m fine with it being nad sothing else. Or at least na it sothing like the ‘Wooded Dungeon’, or ‘The Deep Woods Dungeon’. I will not allow you to na it ‘Brian’s Dungeon’ or sothing like that.” I canceled her idea.
Like co on. Having a dungeon nad after its founder is just cringe. I don’t want that. And it’s literally a dungeon in the woods so sothing like that would make a lot more sense.
After so more back and forth, we decided to na the dungeon ‘TinaWood’. It’s still cringe, but at least I can handle that much. Also it sounds a bit like tin wood. I want so tin soldiers in here. Perhaps I can make so tin golems to act as tin soldiers. Sadly Tin Archduke is sothing I won’t see for a while. Not that I really even want it. Actually, is there an archetype around Tin Archduke? I don’t rember one, but I could be wrong. Perhaps Konami should make one. But then again, it would just be another rank 4 spam archetype and no one wants more of those. And Tin Archduke is bad anyway.
Christina was looking up all the dungeon information that she now had access to, so I decided that this would be as good of an opportunity to install so cards as I would ever have. Better to do that before we make the dungeon good, as we might need to redo it otherwise.
(Laura, did you check out what cards I should install?)
(Of course. Labyrinth Wall and Magical Labyrinth are the first two.) Laura said.
(I guess installing ‘Labyrinth’ cards into a dungeon would be smart. But Labyrinth Wall is a monster. Won’t it cause a problem?)
(But the monster will be under the control of both Master and Christina, so there is no problem.) Laura said.
(Fine. I’ll believe you with this.) I said as I pulled out the two cards.
I held them over the core before saying: “Install.”
The cards shone lightly before they were absorbed by the core.
After that, a light earthquake shook the dungeon.
“Is everyone OK?” I asked as the earthquake subsided.
“....what was that?” Sana asked.
“Brian, what did you do?” Christina asked.
“I’m not completely sure.” I told her. “Well I know what I did, but I don’t know what happened because of it.”
I looked around the core room. It still looked just the sa. Then I turned back to the core and pulled up the dungeon info.
… The seven rooms that used to make up the main dungeon had blown up in size. They weren’t that large yet, but now they were over 100m x 100m in size. They also seed to be at least 20 ters high. They could definitely fit so large monsters into them.
There were also smaller rooms that you could access from the large rooms. The smaller ones were about the size of the dungeon’s original rooms. In total, the number of rooms in the dungeon went from seven, to over 40 in one go. And the size went from small to … well I don’t know if this would be large or huge. Perhaps just large.
“Just how much power do you have?” Christina asked. “I’ve never heard of a dungeon growing like this.”
She had gotten up and was next to looking at the dungeon info.
“Well perhaps you’ve just not heard of it. I’m sure soone else could do sothing like this.” I answered her.
“I want to say that that is impossible, but perhaps so legend could do sothing like this. I just never expected to experience living with a legend.” She responded.
… am I a legend?
(No you are not, Master. A legend is made when people know you and talk about you. You haven’t reached that point yet.) Laura said to .
… good point. So I’m a legend in the making? I’ll accept that.
We spent a good amount of ti going over the new enlarged dungeon. I also ended up installing more cards into the dungeon core.
With Gift of the Mystical Elf and Solemn Wishes we made healing areas. And we also used Ground Collapse to make safe zones that monsters couldn’t enter. Well technically they could, but they prefer not to. But they couldn’t spawn there at all and would only enter if it was absolutely necessary. Like leaving the dungeon.
Then I used The Dark Door to make challenge rooms. These challenge rooms were only located in the deeper parts of the dungeon. You would need to enter them alone and face either multiple weaker monsters, or one stronger one. And if you won, you would get a reward. For rewards, I installed cards like Legendary Sword, Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce, Lightning Blade, Silver Bow and Arrow, Electro-Whip and Gravity Axe - Grarl. I also added the treant staves that I analyzed earlier as potential rewards.
I did also think about using cards like the trap holes to make… well traps, but decided against it. Having an adventurer die in the dungeon would give a lot of generation points, but I’d prefer them to die because they suck at fighting, not because they fell into a hole.
“Brian, a large monster just spawned in the seventh large room. I think we should kill it.” Christina said as she was looking at the core.
I was laying down on a bed I made with the dungeon core. We had already had dinner and I was about to go to sleep for the day as Christina said that to . For safety reasons, one of us would need to stay awake to watch over the dungeon.
I got up from the bed and walked over to the core.
“Wow, that thing is quite large.” I comnted as I looked at the surveillance video.
What I saw was a super sized version of the horned bison I once fought. A massive cow, bull thingy that was around 7 ters tall. God that thing is big. It also had two massive horns that looked like swords.
(A sword-horn bull. An A-rank monster.) Laura said to . (It’s considered to be good practice before fighting a lesser behemoth.) She added.
“Laura said that thing is a sword-horn bull and it’s A-rank.” I repeated to Christina what Laura said. “And I do agree, it’s a little much. I’ll go take care of it.”
“Please be careful.” Christina said as I turned to leave.
“Sure. I’ll be back.” I said to her as I walked towards the corridor leading to the seventh room.
This is actually a great chance to test out one monster I’ve wanted to test. A real Kaiju battle incoming. … well not really. I don’t have any Kaiju monsters yet. But it’s still a battle between two large monsters. Well it’s going to be.
anwhile, above ground. Sothing large was moving. It wasn’t as large as the sword-horn bull, but it was still a sizable monster. Just yesterday, it was just a small critter running around the forest, but after the miasma corrupted it, it had explosive growth to make a large beast.
And now, it was now following the cleared path towards Alewatch.
