Hi, to everyone who is listening to my monologues out there, I am deeply sorry. Right now, I am reflecting silently in a quite corner of my cave. I, the wondero-I mean humble dungeon, has commited a grave sin. I acted out of my boundaries, was egoistic, selfish and complacent. Please, good lord, forgive my sins. I have repented and deeply regret my actions, forgiveness from you is the only one I seek. So please...
JUST HATCH THE EGGS ALREADY!
I wanna cry.... 2 weeks. 2 ENTIRE WEEKS I had to sit here in this god forsaken empty cave literally doing nothing. I can't even watch paint dry! I mean, yeah at least the seeds have germinated but STILL.....please. I don't think I can live long enough, I'm dying, save me. Someone save m-

?? Did my ears decieve me? Is that the sound that I yearn to hear? The tell tale crack of... of the stone? Or something far, far mor-
*crack*
Ha! You cannot trick me, dear wall. I, wonderous and glorious dungeon itself, shall not be decieved by the evidently obvious sound of the crack that signals something that I so very much desire but NO I will not be decieved.
*crack*crack*
Oh you poor poor wall. How ever lonely you are? You just wish for attention, I respect that, but you cannot use such foolish trickery my friend, for a simple stone cannot make such a noise.
*crack*snap*crunch*
Would you shut it! I'm trying t-

What are these, these imaginary fluids on my imaginary face. Oh, they are tears, tears of unspeakable joy born throught the experience of such hardship and suffering. Rejoice, me, for I have conquered the greates enemy of all. Today shall be a day that will always be remembered in this dungeon, a day where the creeping dread of boredom is vanquished. The first eggs that cracked under the watchful eye of the dungeon itself, its care and concern that has finally bore fruit. The blood, sweat and lots of tears bringing joy and happiness to all in the dungeon. The first hatching of the larva. Let us sing and remember this day, for it shall always be something to learn from.
I wonder if I could check the status of these newborn larvae. "Menu, Status, Larva"
Name - Status Effects hatchling(all stats -60%), hungry(leads to starving) HP 10/10 MP - EXP Lvl 0 [0/10] Abilities - Further details [Further details]
A freshly hatched larva is highly vunerable and poses little to no threat. This is, however, their most adaptive state and they are able to meld themselves into the environment and gain special abilities. These monsters may be weak, but their jaws are well developed even just hatched.
I see, so they are pretty much fodder at this point. *Sigh*, why did I pick these guys, I should have just picked insect race instead. No use crying over spilt animus I guess, time to get to business. Today, we begin our dungeon experience. Go war cry! Oooouuuuuu! Let's see, I have nothing in this desolate cave minus my 25 plants. Come to think of it, how did they grow even with no light?

Plant status
Abilities Vakiosynthesis(Instead of photosynthesising, these plants utilise the ambient mana in the atmosphere of the dungeon to create food instead) Species Name Vakiolum
Interesting..... That was rather unexpected... Okay, let's put 5 of you larva here, 5 of you on the plants. Let's just see how this turns out. Hmmm, nah scratch that let's just put all of them on the plants. Eat up my hearties, for we have a long road ahead.

This is... surprisingly boring....

2 more weeks.... my heart, it can't take so much boredom. I mean, it's fun and all watching the little larva eat up and stuff but if you watch them do it ALL DAY for 2 WEEKS, you are bound to go a little bonkers. Not that I'm saying I'm not, I mean I am not okay.. I'm not.
Either way, I had purchased 5 more vakiolum (priced at [50 DP]), allowed them to breed and now I have nearly and endless supply of them. Muahahahaha, behold the might and cunning of the Dungeon Lord, tremble in fear! Gahahahaaa! Aaanyways, the larva has now grown into somewhat of a juvenile. Their food requirement has also increased but thanks to yours truly's amazing planning I will be fine for food for now. The larva are truly adaptable, I mean, look at what some of them even developed.
Larva Status(x5)
Name - Status Effects - HP 20/20 MP - EXP Lvl 1 [1/15] Abilites Vakiosis(incorprating the compoents required for vakiosynthesis, these larva generally do not require food as they simply feed off the mana in the atmosphere. While perfectly capable of movement, they generally do not move unless there is a threat or the mana in the area is depleted)
Just look at that, efficiency in all its glory. Feel the power, kneel in my presence, muahahahaa. *Ahem*, next up, we have.
Larva Status(x5)
Name: - Status Effects - HP 25/25 MP - EXP Lvl 2 [5/20] Abilities -
They are all herbivoures though. *Sigh*, my old habits are taking over, I really need to name their species. It's just a small habit that eventually snowballed into compulsion, I couldn't help it you know. You need to name your creations. Well, here goes.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Anthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Dipetra
Species: Largotta
Done, my newly named species, combining the words larva and maggot to give largot. Perfect, my obssesion is now satisfied, now we can just go back to our daily business.
Achievement Get!
What now?....
