I appear in the ground looking around me i see dirt.

I wake up on a normal day and I walk down the street to refill my food supplies for this weep before I continue playing Country of Tanks and I stand at a stoplight and I see a little girl chasing a ball into the road and I hear a loud honking i intensely launch forward pussing the girl out of the way saving her but not me.

What happened? I thought
‘You died and got recarned as a dungeon core’ a voice said back
So it’s like those stories i read in light novels right? I said back surprised but it's better then dead i think
‘You are taking this rather well usually other just start to freak out and become corrupted’ THe voice said in a surprised tone
Like i think it's better than being dead so who are you? Are you a dungeon farry that helps me build a dungeon or something else?
‘I am neither I am a system that has been assigned to you’
It's kind of annoying for you to talk directly into my head could you like make a issilion that only i can see in my vision so i can read it and hear you at the same time?
‘Fine here’
[ Fine is this better] a blue box appeared in front of me
Think you that's better I say
So what should i do I ask
[ It seems like you already know what to do but i am still required to at least tell you your choices. ]
[ Starting dungeon choices ]
[Beast - if it is a animal and not usually sentient they are these]
[Goblins - ugly, fast and, reproduces fast -- weak alone]
[Kobolds - supposed descendants of dragons like goblins but maybe ugly and reproduces slower and is stronger]
[Slimes - They consume all and become what they eat, weak to magic]
[bla bla bla theirs more they are more trouble than they are worth like undead and such]
So I choose kobolds they are hardy and at least they are easier to clean I say after thinking for a minute or two.
[Nice i was hopeing for them you can also get rid of the ugly trait all together if you just edit them yourself]
[Now onto the perks you can pick three]
[Perks]
[Monster loyalty - you Monsters you make always hold you in their highest regard and listen to you ]
[advanced machines - you can make more complicated traps and such like rotating hallways]
[All metals/materials - grants access to all known metals/ normal materials but they still cost how they will normally would also you will not be getting anything like admentum or mythril too rare.]
[ Dungeon laws - make rules that is to be followed by all who enter your domain]
[More monsters - monsters are cheaper]
[there are more but they are boring]
Hmm I have a idea i choose Monster loyalty, advanced machines and All metals/materials.
[Why those i thought you would not pick the metals one and traps]
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
I choose those but i need to ask a question?
[What is it?]
My core can go anywhere as long it is within my domain right?
[Yes and?]
Anything can be my domain right?
[As long it is not living yes]
Let's start making the “Dungeon”
Page 2
Over the next few days i manage to create a nice wide room about the size of a small aircraft hangar with my core floating near the top as i expand more and make more rooms then make my first Kobolds i made them so they don't have crooked teeth and smoother scales they look actually nice anyway i make three males and two females and i make my first project as i think back to the many ww2 games i played an i make a M1 carbine and a full clip of .30 ammo and i ask one of my kobolds to pick it up.
[Ooh what's that?] the window said
“That is a M1 Carbine” i say as i make a target out of cloth and imprint how to use it to the kobold
“Aim and fire on the target” I order my monster
It aims down the sight and fires 15 loud shots hitting the target 5 times.
“Nice it works” i say
[What was that? I sensed no magic!]
“Because it is not it uses gunpowder to use it”
[Brilliant now what?]
I order all the rest of my 4 kobolds to my core room.
“Now i will imprent you how to use guns but refinement is your challenge whoever manages to fire all 15 shots in the bullseye becomes leader in the future project i am planning to make.”
I say as i imprent how use them and summon 4 more Carbines and 100 boxes of ammo and 10 clips.
“Ready set GO.” I say as they start to practice
[What is your future project?] the box says
“A secret” i say
A month later and i still havent opened to the surface yet as it is not necessary it only will bring trouble and only speed up my plans as i am already generating a reasonable amount of mana as i lucked out with mana generating moss in my area.
Anyway one of the females managed to win the project and i made her into the captain of the rest.
“Now let's get onto my project”
I make wheels and treads attaching them to a engine that is originally used to turn rooms and hallways making a very small tank and started it and it lurched forward driving along
“IT'S ALIVE MUHAHAHAH” i laugh evilly
[What the hell is that thing!]
I explain it to the box and it says
[You are actually the first to think of using a trap component to make something like that nice]
It says impressed
“This is just the beginning” i say is i crackle with evil laughter
It takes a month but i am able to get enough mana to make my final product a M4 sherman tank
It is a 5 crew tank that has a 75mm gun M3 as the man gun and a .30 caliber browning machine gun as its secondary and for its engine it doesn't need one it runs on mana or passive mana but it will be slower but it has a bunch of room left as it is human sized and i made bunks in the back for my 5 kobolds and now to ask the most important question
“Does the inside count as my domain?”
[Yes it counts as your domain even if it leaves the dungeon as it is inclosed why did you ask]
“Because we are going on a adventure!”
[You don't mean….] it asks surprised
“Yes i do i am going to be a traveling dungeon!’
A month later the kobolds are using the tank like it is a second body they are damn good at it. As i teach them how to control the three guns on the tank and i make a bulletproof capsule on to the top to fully protect the gunner when he is shooting and i outfit the entire crew with a set of army forest clothes and a green helmet they even having their own small table and extra rations as i reinforce the metal on the outside and inside making it stronger than a dungeon wall that was already basically impossible to break through and it is quiet as hell without the engine so i use a sound trap an edit it to sound like the regular engine and set it up to sound starting up and running when the tank is started unless a button is pressed making it quiet it is awesome as i make my final preparations as i add more cooling and heating crystals around the inside just in case we get stick in winter and or a blazing inferno by annoyed wizards and making it airtight when the dome is closed and i place myself above the bunks inside the tanks attaching myself to the tank in a cage using myself as the bunk light and adding light crystals around so it is not too dark but not too light inside the tank as the window saying
[You are crazy how will this work] over and over
“Don't worry this tank will be my new dungeon ass this tank itself is generating more mana than this entire hanger so.
“Kobolds gather up!” i yell in their minds and they gather in a line
“We now can go on our own adventure! We will be the first ever to do this but i trust that we will live and rule over all!”
“All the kobolds cheer and load up into the tank and places my core in the cage and start it up as rumbling start and hearing the tank start is getting me all giggity as i think how surprised will the adventurers and people outside the ‘entrance’ waiting for my dungeon to open up and before I forget I clean up the entire place i make it spotless so the adventures get none of my technology as i also make enough ammo for two full boxes for the 2 secondary guns and 10 extra shells for the cannon and i order the kobolds to blast the entrance with a shell as i weakened it.
[Waiting adventurer]
Danm when will this dungeon open i been waiting for it for a month after the wizards discovered a new dungeon from its unique mana signature and they usually take a month at most this dungeon is taking a year so far it better be good or it will have a lot of angry adventures on its hands.
*Rumble*
What's that as i hear a constant rumbling at the area where the entrance would be.
*BOOOOOM!!!*
I hear a very loud explosion as i see a green thing with darker and lighter splotches crawling out of the hole it is about the size of 2 or 3 horses and i hear one of the wizards yell
“How! It seems like the dungeon core is inside it!”
As he says that i am amazed a core created that and then i hear
*bang bang bang bang bang* over and over from it as i see a kobold on top of it surrounded by a dome thing controlling the thing that is making that noise and i look where it's pointing seeing adventures and wizard alike getting turned into mince meat and i see the ‘head’ of that thing turn towards me and hear a loud *BOOM* as i fade into blackness
[MC]
“Muhahaha This is awesome” i say as i gain mana as i still gained mana from anything my monsters or my dungeon killed and they were technically killed by a monster controlled trap and i get a idea and set the ‘traps’ the main and secondary guns to instantly ‘reset’ now i have infinite ammo i say as i absorb the now useless extra ammo.
I look around as i see absolute carnage as we drive over adventures that were brave enough to hit thus virtually invincible thing that even gods can’t harm as it is a ‘Dungeon’.
I make a few more things a small counter where the kobolds can order food and i make ‘traps’ that summon any type of food or water that you want and having it auto ‘reset’ afterwards. I also make a 1 kobold size bathroom with a fold out toilet that waste gets automatically absorbed afterwards and a hot and cold shower using a water crystal and fire and cold ones. Afterwards i give them a map of the entire country that one of the wizards had and i say do anything but leave or open this machine as i sleep for 10 years i am not worried about their age as they never age.
And i fall asleep for leveling up 10 times.
