As the sun rises and the rays of its light shine the world above, Lucas has now decided that it is best to move now.
He called 3 automatons from the chamber to gather resources such as sticks and plants or fruits. 2 were assigned to gather each and the last one was assigned to scout and find these resources.
At first, the automatons gathered small sticks and grass or leaves. It seems like the order given was too generic or vague so Lucas needs to tell them the specifics.
Now the automatons gather sticks which length is 1 meter or above and its diameter is 2 inches or more and not beyond 5. The idea of gathering plants was canceled for the main reason that sticks/wood is also a biological matter, for now, there is no need to gather other types.
The gathering took a few hours, overall they gathered 737kg of wood or sticks.
'Let's divide it unto two, we then absorb the other and we shall use the other.'
The automatons started to divide the pile of wood into two, after a while, they were now finished. The once large pile of wood has become into two smaller parts.
"Absorb this pile of wood." [Absorbing Material.]
..........
[Converting material to mana]
..........
[Conversion Done. Current mana: 184]
'So half the weight of the material being converted is the amount of mana being made. Or it varies depending on the material? We need more experiments but we also need materials which is a bummer.'
"Summon automaton." [Summoning Automaton]
An automaton can be seen appearing in the chamber room. 'Now we are full, how about starting with some crafting.'
After a while of thinking, Lucas realizes that he knew nothing about crafting. "What the hell should I make with just wood! We could only sharpen some of these by grinding it to the floor to make some spears."
'What am gonna do? This is so shit.' Lucas was now in a situation where he don't what he gonna do or what he needs to do. But if doesn't do something then his life will be at stake.
Making the matters worse a sudden turn of events was to happen.
[One of your summonses have been destroyed]
"What the hell! Someone just attacked us, you four grind 9 spears and give them to everyone including yourself. Can this day get any worse?"
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
After a while of quick grinding by the 4 automatons, everyone now is armed if you could call those wooden stakes weapons.
After a moment passes, nothing has happened. A few minutes then have passed nothing.
After a whole while some sounds could heard. "Gigigiigigiigi" "Gigigi" "Gi-gigi-gi"
Lucas was confused but one thing was certain, it must have intelligence for it was capable of speech. As the sounds get louder and the thundering sounds of metal stroke a bit of fear to the heart of Lucas.
Lucas has never seen nor experience violence so the thought of it gives fright to Lucas. But never the less he needs to face what is to come.
After a while, a source of light could be seen, with bright orange with a silhouette of a monster. Lucas orders his summons to be ready to thrust their make-shift spears.
A Goblin emerges from the doorway of the chamber, with a torch on his left hand and a short sword appropriate to its body. The sight alone was not that scary but one after another came pouring in.
They spouted sounds that were not comprehensible to Lucas but he knows something for certain, they here not for good reasons. They were 15 goblins in total who have entered the chamber and all of them are staring at the bright glowing stone, the dungeon core.
Lucas knew he was in a dangerous situation and waiting for any second longer will jeopardize his survival. He ordered his summons to charge.
It was so sudden that the goblins were caught unprepared, as the automatons charges few goblins were killed on the onslaught. Now the goblins were pushed back to the doorway leaving the room, only a few could be fit to go through it.
Not missing the chance Lucas ordered some of his automatons on the back to equip the weapons that were equipped by the goblins who were killed, four of them in total. Notifications of experience gain lit up the HUD of Lucas but he dismissed it all, Lucas, at this time in a state of panic for his life.
"Charge! Kill them all, don't let anyone escape!" Shouted Lucas. The sense of morality of Lucas was absent, mad that those Goblins dared to intrude on his home and tried to kill him.
The Automatons rushed outside to pursue the running Goblins, but it was all a trap. The Goblins knew that when a new dungeon was born and it was the first attack, the system will make the core uneasy making them behave irrationally.
As Automatons exited the passageway, dozens of Goblins could be seen waiting outside. The First two automatons who exited were hit by an arrow to their chest, destroying the core inside and making them dysfunctional.
But with the sheer will of Lucas, he was able to order his summons to go back before they will be overrun. Out of 10 automatons that Lucas has at the start of the day, only 7 are left.
He ordered his men to stand in front of the doorway and if anyone dared enter will be killed. Now with the time available to him, he tried to calm himself first.
After a few minutes, Lucas felt fine and started assessing his situation.
'There are dozens of Goblins out there, approximately 34 including the 8 who have escaped while 3 died trying. We can't go out, but there is no need. It's not like we need to or something, unlike them but there is a lot of food outside so they could stay and wait for a very long time.'
'Wait let me check the notifications'
[Experience gained in total 700]
[Leveled up to 4]
[You could now summon up to 18 automatons]
'Nice! wait I only have 84 mana left, 100 were taken from the summoning earlier. Then let's absorb those dead goblins then.
"Absorb"
[Gained 1,400 mana]
"Holy shit that is a lot, so I could now max out the number of summons I could have then. Summon 11 automatons."
[Summoning 11 Automatons]
