Matt pov
You have been invited to dungeon council meeting.
Do you wish to join dungeon council?
"Uh sure"
Please choose incorporeal form
As Matt finished reading the last message he was transported to a character creation screen like what he assumed regular players would see. It was all very bland honestly. I ended up making a human about 6'6" tall with an athlete's build and close cropped brown hair. As he finished making the body he was suddenly thrown into it and shoved through a door that had appeared.
After I landed on the other side of the door he was greater by hard black granite. Looking up I spotted a few other assorted starter races and in the middle of the room floated a human shaped crystal.
"Hello everyone. I am Dave, the dungeon God. I have asked you all hear today because dungeons,as a species are doomed to die as it seems, and if you get destroyed your revert back to a 1 room cave at a random location. None of you have enough strength or political power to survive as you are and I don't want all of the creatures I oversee to die. Through this I have talked to the God of life and he had agreed to allow me to gift you all three presents that should help you if you don't have them already. You will all gain the mouse starter race, house cat starter race, and the fluffy bunny starter race. All super low tier animals but they have decent monster forms. You will all recive two pairings of each animal to introduce to your dungeon when your ready. That is the first present, the second present is the ability to make gold coins, at 100 mp per coin. I believe this will help with bribes. The final gift is possibly the greatest, your dungeon now counts as a starter village, you can have the races appear inside of you and live inside of you. If you die all players regardless of race will be transported to your new body with you, however it is the same as if they died.they will be reset to level one and if ,in matts case." He said gesturing at me making me slightly uncomfortable" they are monsters, then they will be reset as their starter race. Anyone who sets your body as their home will be teleported with you. Tamers may keep five of their monsters when they are teleported. Also all starter races you possess will be kept in your inventory and preserved so they do not age and die. This is all I can offer you."
"Ohh wait also you can add army ranks to your dungeons to help with order, okay that is all have fun in your dungeon." Before anyone could even say anything we were teleported back into our dungeon.
Looking around I noticed that nothing had changed. So I opened the entrance because I needed to talk to my "group".
When I opened the entrance all I saw was hunter talking to some dude. The second thing I saw was the wolf , not the long legged wolves you think of in games, but a short legged barrel body wolf, like those found in real life. The wolf looked pretty beat up. The third thing I saw was a small fishing boat appear behind them in the water as they were talking.
'Well I don't know what the fuck is going on.'
After that I sent my team(gonna call them that)
" come closer to the dungeon so I can hear and offer my opinion please."
After hunter explained it to the tamer they walked to just outside the entrance, once there they continued their conversation. It surprised me but their topic of conversation was me.
Hunter was explaining I was actually a sentient dungeon and not a bad dude. After a lengthy conversation I asked hunter to go check out the fishing boat. Once they were gone I started talking directly to the tamer " as you already know I'm Matt, I was wondering if you wanted to join my team?".
I just sorta came out with it, I don't always like idle chatter when I have things to do. He hesitated and while he tried to get his words together I send calt a message to begin the excavation of four more room and the passages between them. Though I mentioned they were to be full size while the first passage would remain as it is to make it harder for adventurers to attack my dungeon I gave him 500 mp to work with, half of my total at the moment. Just as I finished that the tamer regained his composure. He said " I'm honoured but in reality I don't want to be tied down like that sorry, though if you need some help I can do it for a price." Hmm that sounds like a fair deal. What could I have him do... Oh I know! " so apex I would be willing to pay one gold in exchange for four lizardling and two garter snakes if pay another gold on top of that if you would get me a pack of wolves. Does that sound good to you?"
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
After I gave him the offer I felt was more than generous all he did was say he'd be back in three days while looking at the ground and shaking his head ever so slightly while walking away.
I was a little bit confused but that was okay as long as he did what I asked. Looking inside the dungeon I noticed calt had finished the second room in my dungeon and was working in the hallway to the next room. I also noticed he had created one nest in the room right near the floor in the corner, there was only three hermit crabs in here so far so I spawned in the mouse race I was given. They immediately ran in the nest seeing this I spawned a larger nest in there and upgraded it once. Which was interesting seeing as I didn't have to make calt do it, hmm question for another time.
The mice instantly started to procreate so I turned on breeding frenzy, after the pair was done the male went outside and started to fight a hermit crab. It was an intense little fight with the mouse winning but he was missing his front left leg and was bleeding out. The last thing he did before he died was drag the crab body inside the nest. I allowed it so that monsters didn't disappear when they were dead in a nest. The father and the crab would provide food for the next generation in about five minutes. I was so busy watching this i swiped a notification to the side of my screen during the fight. Looking away from the nest I opened it up it said that a fishing boat wanted to make a spirit contract with me. I didn't accept but I assumed this boat was a player or else it wouldn't be a sentient ship. First things first I sent it a message " who are you? Why do you want a contract? And how would it benefit either of us?". I felt like they were valid questions to ask. It didn't take more than a minute for a response to arrive.
" I am Floatingdeath, I want a contract to be able to connect to your dungeon and use it as my home base because I saw in the character creation screen that I could use a dungeon as my home village. I would benefit by having a place to dock with monsters to protect me once I get larger and you benefit by having a boat that can grow and transport people and monsters for both peaceful and and non peaceful reasons."
That. Is. Actually. Not a bad idea. I like it.
"Okay I'm down." I said hitting the accept button in the blue screen. "Okay I want you to take Lana into town with the three gold coins I just sent to her to buy some gems and try to recruit a summoner or a similar class."
With a summoner I could have them summon monsters which I could add to my dungeon. It would be advantageous to me. While I was at it I gave FD the rank private, Lana and Gerald the rank Sergeant and gave hunter the rank of captain. After that I went to the newly finished third room and put the fluffy bunnies there. Calt would soon finish the fourth room and I could add the house cats there. I currently had 100mp.
"Help how do I attain more dungeon skill tombs?"
Dungeon skill tombs can be earned when you defeat a sentient dungeon, they are also earned when your sentient army reaches a certain size for A price.
"Thanks help".
After that I turned on breeding frenzy for the fluffy bunnies and just enjoyed my dungeon.
----------------------------------------
I was hoping for some reviews and ratings for the story. This is my last saved chapter but I think I know how the story will proceed with only some minor changes, depending on which type of god he will be. I also want you guys to realize that Mathew will never be OP but he will be surrounded by people and things he makes OP.
I'd also like to thank everyone who does comment seeing as the comments are super heart warming and give me good ideas for the future.
Also shout out to Blazingfrost as my most frequent commenter.
