Eddie 'Bones' Malone awoke (or did the equivalent for a skeleton) to the familiar, eerie silence of his dungeon. Today, he decided, was the day to get serious about dungeon management. As if on cue, the dungeon core's screen flickered to life, displaying a message:

[System Notification: Tutorial Series Available - 'Dungeon Management 101']

"Guess it's time to hit the books," Eddie muttered, although the idea of a tutorial series in this fantasy world seemed absurdly modern.

He navigated through the prompts, and a series of holographic screens appeared, each detailing different aspects of dungeon management – from monster recruitment to trap placement. Eddie, however, found his attention wavering.

"Come on, Eddie, focus," he scolded himself. "You're a dungeon master now, not some two-bit thug."

After a crash course in the basics, Eddie felt somewhat more confident. "Alright, let's beef up this place. First thing's first, more monsters!"

He went back to the shop section of the dungeon core, his bony fingers hovering over the 'Monster Capacity' upgrade. "This will make the dungeon more formidable," he thought.

But as he attempted to select the upgrade, his skeletal hand slipped, accidentally hitting another option. Before he could correct it, the purchase was confirmed.

[Purchase Confirmed: 'Enchanted Weather System - Rainforest Edition']

Eddie stared in disbelief as his dungeon began to transform. Rain started pouring from seemingly nowhere, and lush, tropical foliage sprang from the stone floors and walls. The sound of distant thunder and chirping tropical birds filled the air.

"What the... a rainforest? In my dungeon?" Eddie exclaimed, his jaw literally dropping. "Who in their right mind wants a weather system in a dungeon?"

The skeletons, now standing amidst the burgeoning greenery and puddles, seemed as confused as Eddie felt. One was trying to shield itself from the rain with its shield, while another slipped on a newly formed muddy patch.

Eddie trudged through his newly-formed jungle, his bones getting wet – an odd sensation given he didn't actually have any skin. "Great, just great. Now I'm running a tropical resort for the undead."

As he navigated through the overgrowth, he had to admit, begrudgingly, that it did add a certain uniqueness to his dungeon.

"Maybe it's not all bad," he pondered. "Could be a nice surprise for those pesky adventurers. 'Welcome to Eddie's Rainforest of Doom' or something like that."

No sooner had the words left his bony mouth than a system notification popped up:

[System Update: Dungeon Name Change Detected. 'The Forsaken Crypt' has been renamed to 'Eddie's Rainforest of Doom'.]

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Eddie's eye sockets widened. "Wait, no, that was just a joke! I didn't mean to actually rename the place!"

He scrambled back to the dungeon core, frantically navigating through the menus to find the option to change the name back. The screen seemed to mock him with its new, absurdly cheerful title flashing in bold letters.

"C'mon, c'mon, where is it?" Eddie muttered, his finger bones clacking against the screen. After a few moments of panicked searching, he found the name settings and hastily typed in the original name.

[System Update: Dungeon Name Reverted to 'The Forsaken Crypt'.]

Eddie let out a sigh of relief, which, in his current skeletal form, sounded more like a gust of wind through a hollow cave. "Note to self: the system takes everything literally."

With the name crisis averted, Eddie looked around at his unexpected rainforest surroundings. Despite the initial shock and the unintended name change, the lush greenery and the sound of rain were starting to grow on him.

He chuckled to himself, shaking his head. "Eddie's Rainforest of Doom... not my worst idea." He imagined the surprised faces of adventurers expecting a dark, dreary crypt, only to find themselves in a tropical jungle complete with chirping birds and the occasional monkey skeleton swinging from the vines.

"Alright, let's roll with this," Eddie decided, embracing the chaos. "Time to make 'The Forsaken Crypt' - or should I say, the jungle - a real challenge for anyone who dares to enter."

After the name debacle, Eddie regained his focus. He headed back to the dungeon core, determined to make the intended upgrade this time. "Alright, let's get some more monsters in here," he muttered, his bony fingers carefully selecting the correct option.

[Purchase Confirmed: Additional Monster Capacity - Adds 5 Slots]

"There we go," Eddie said with satisfaction. "Now, let's see about filling those slots."

He browsed through the monster catalog, considering his options. The rainforest environment gave him some creative ideas. "Maybe something that blends in with the jungle theme," he thought.

He settled on a few creatures that seemed like they would thrive in the new, lush environment of his dungeon:

Eddie, feeling increasingly comfortable in his role as a dungeon master, browsed through the monster catalog with enthusiasm. He wanted to add a variety of creatures to his dungeon, especially ones that would suit the new rainforest theme. However, his options were more limited than he expected.

[Available for Purchase: Skeleton Soldier - 10 Credits, Skeleton Archer - 15 Credits]

"Alright, a few more boneheads to join the crew," Eddie said, selecting a couple of each.

As he tried to venture beyond these basic options, hoping to add some more exotic creatures, a system prompt halted his plans.

[System Notification: Upgrade Dungeon Core to Unlock Additional Monsters. Cost: 5000 Credits]

Eddie stared at the screen, his jawbone hanging open. "Five thousand credits? Do I look like I'm made of money? Nah, man! All bones, you get me!"

He let out a sigh that sounded like a draft through a keyhole. "Guess it's just me and the basic bone brigade for now," he mumbled, slightly deflated.

Eddie decided to make the best of his situation. He spent his remaining credits on a couple more Skeleton Soldiers and Archers, strategically placing them around the dungeon.

As he watched his skeletal minions take their positions among the lush foliage, Eddie couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. "Here I am, Eddie Malone, former small-time thug, now commanding an army of archers and soldiers who can't shoot or hold a sword properly. What a wild ride."

He took a moment to appreciate the irony. His life had taken the most unexpected turn, and yet, he was starting to enjoy it. The challenges of managing a dungeon, even on a budget, were strangely fulfilling.

"Alright, team," Eddie announced to his skeletal crew, "we might not have the fanciest monsters or the fanciest traps, but we've got heart. Well, metaphorically speaking. Let's show those adventurers what we're made of!"

With his army assembled and his spirits high, Eddie set out to continue exploring and mastering his dungeon.
