Opening the door Matt invited all challengers to him.
He had 13000 mp and was confident he could use it to stop anything that the animals couldn't with traps.
Using his dungeon over view he looked out the entrance and seen some dogs walking past. Taking control of a aggressive rat he had it run outside right in front of the dogs before running back inside. Once the dogs were inside he had the rat run down stairs. As the dogs chased the bugs and worms slowly chipped away at their health. Once they reached the second floor Matt had the goblins herd them into the new room off to the side with a den for them before he closed the door and had some rats get in through cracks for food and set the den to birth all new pups with cores and turned on the breeding frenzy. With each litter of puppy's being between 6-8 the numbers grew fast soon he opened the door and let them ever the rest of the dungeon.
That was when the message appeared.
Update 1.2
As a dungeon the only changes now are that you can make sentient beings your minions even if they don't have a core as long as they agree to it. Magic skills can now be given to monsters of at least tier 1, depends on the monster for different skills and power.
General notice humans have landed on a new continent.
Side note
Humans have landed on your continent and are settling exactly 4036.3 km away .
Specific notice
New AI. Dungeons have been released early so they have growth time before humans attack them. Closest player level dungeon (leaching) 0.01km away.
Upon reading this Matt did something he had never done before.
He sent his dungeon lord out side.
With him were some goblins as well as the mini boss leading other rats and some birds.
The birds were scouting for the dungeon as the rest waited for the signal. After ten minutes the birds had found it. The dungeon lord took off at a light jog which had everything else running all out except the feral rats. As soon as they seen the dungeon Matt had the ferals go first. They in-countered little resistance except a few slimes. The dungeon lord simply ran past the weak monsters as they were taken care of by matts forces. Reaching the final room the dungeon lord ripped the dungeon heart off the wall and started to run back to Matt. It all went well.
That was when the monsters retreating from the collapsing dungeon saw the elf. With a quick order all the birds in the sky dive bombed at it as the rest of the monsters sprinted home.
It just wasn't that simple though. The elf had thrown up a magic shield at the last second killing the birds on impact before he started charging on his horse. Mat had half the ferals run at him and start to attack the elf. The Orc ran with out stopping until he was inside the dungeon closely followed by the rest of the group that haven't died. Matt slammed the entrance shut right in front of the elf. The Orc jogged all the way to matts dungeon heart where it pressed the baseball sized heart into the walls beside matts volleyball sized heart.
Immediately Matt received the message
A unstable dungeon heart is inside you
1500 mp to stabilize
Y/N
Matt> yes
Mana transferring...
Transfer complete, dungeon heart now can be made into monster or absorbed.
Matt> absorb
As soon as he said it Matt felt a surge of power and a wealth of knowledge flooded over him. Different monster types and floor layouts. His mp nearly doubled and started it rise slowly at about 2.5 per second.

Ability gained; leaching
You now leaching ambient mana from the area surrounding your dungeon.
With his new power Matt made a fourth floor with ten rooms and brought down feral and noble rats as well as goblins. He also brought some food animals down.
Finally Matt looked outside himself and saw the elf camped near the entrance.
Opening the entrance so very small, Matt had several bugs that slowly paralyze fly out and spray the elf and the horse for good measure.
It was to easy.
Like taking candy from a baby.
At around two Matt called the flys back in, the damage had been done. He very quietly opened the entrance and slid outside as his dungeon lord. He picked up the elf and put a hand over his mouth while goblins grabbed all his bags and the sword. They left the horse.
They brought them all to Matts room where they left the sword and items while they tied him to a chair Matt created. When a pop up happened.
8 unstable dungeon hearts detected
Do you wish to stabilize for 1000mp each.
Y/N
Matt>yes!
Quickly Matt had dumped out all the elfs bags before he found them. He dug eight holes in the wall around Matt and put them in. Matt immediately absorbed the four largest dungeon hearts giving him close to 100k Magic points. Drawing from the other dungeons memory he created four more floors and filled them with monsters that were all stronger than he had. And then decided to turn the other four into boss monsters. Using their memory he made them Into a stone golem. A skeleton knight outfitted with full plate armour and great sword, a giant slime which absorbed other monsters to grow, and for the bottom floor he made a lich before putting himself in the final room. He gained slimes, skeletons, Tigers, gremlins, and trolls. With all these new monsters, floors , and bosses his dungeon level went up twice but he currently had 37mp. After the lich had cast a spell of binding on the elf he went to sleep.

Looking around he smiled, this was his huge monster filled body. First things first he looked through all the new levels and make sure it was progressing okay. To his surprise the races all had a leader that was already an elite. It brought a smile to his face to know that he would continue to grow.
Now it was time for less pleasant things.
Taking control of his dungeon lord he got up and walked to the room where the elf was held.
Matt> speak so I may know your story.
Elf>why should I tell a petty dungeon anything
Matt> because I am a player just like you, only difference is I'm a lot stronger and will kill you if you don't tell me.
Elf> my name is Greg, my wife is a horse and my son a sword. We came to this continent to be alone as a family but recently humans have landed on this continent, we are now looking for a home away from people and gathering strength as to survive in such a remote place.
Matt>I have an idea...
You and your family may live in me so long as you are my servants running errands and such.
Elf> no
Everyday Matt would offer the elf that and the elf would refuse but after a week the elf said yes.
That was when Matt forced a core into his chest. The man screamed.
And he screamed.
And then he stopped because it was over he had a core and Matt was his master.
Matt> go and clear dungeons and take their hearts, I need more strength and so do you you may take your son but send your wife down for a core before she goes...
That was how Matt won. For a Short while at least..
