MATT POV
It's been two days so far, Lana and Floatingdeath haven't come back yet and neither had apex.
On a different note some monsters evolved, the hermit crabs finally achieved the rank up to normal crabs. Some of The beetles evolved into scarab beetles. The mouse race can now rank up into rats, the last thing is that the first centipede died and was eaten by one of his children giving her a large amount of mana for a centipede making her a elite and just a little bit bigger than him, her off spring have been slightly bigger than the other centipedes and they eventually went to a new nest in the second room. I also added a bunny nest in the fourth room and had calt dig a fifth and sixth room.in the fifth room all I have is a house cat cove. I also now have 600 mp.
Hunter reached level 13 with gerald reaching level 11, they brought in most of the mp by dumping dead fish and animals inside of me.
I also told everyone about calt so he now works almost constantly making dead end tunnels and new nests in the corridors for the animals, I haven't put cores in any of the animals yet so they are all still outside of my control but it's okay there is a food chain now which is good and they are getting stronger by fighting each other. Though hunter and Gerald have to kill some of them sometimes when they are attacked near the entrance by animals who wander outside of me.
Also leader boards are now available to look at which is fun the highest leveled person is level 27 but they are closely followed by others. But the one thing I really like to see is the dungeon rankings I am currently in third behind one girl who set up her dungeon under a castle. And a guy who who made a contract with the God of light to not house dark creatures, the creations of darkos. In exchange he gained harpies and fairies two of the races that can evolve into different types of angels.
I've been hoping to make a contract with a god but I haven't got anything to draw their attention to me so I'm out of luck thus far.
I have plans for another twenty rooms before I start making another floor.
MAXIN POV
As I walked out of the mage's guild i received a notification.
Class change complete. summoner moved to sub class, necromancer now main class. make contract with spirit to decide which type of unique undead you summon.
Finally I had completed my quests to reach the final class I wanted. I was still a necromancer but now if I made a contract with a spirit I could summon a special undead based off the spirit that would be a unique type of undead that only I could summon. Though until that point i could only summon level 1 undead which are incredibly weak. It could be worse though because I can summon a swarm of them with my current mp level.
At level 20 all my stats are 10 the lowest of the low except my wisdom and intelligence which are at 20 and 100 respectively. giving me a mana pool of 1000 and mana regen at 10 per minute. All and all this would allow me to summon 100 level 1 undead, I need some thing fast for my coming trip around the surrounding country side so I walked across town to the flour mill and cast the raise undead skill. it didn't take more than a minute for 86 zombie mice to walk out of the mill. shortly after than i made my way to the edge of the forest and cast the raise undead skill again gaining me another four mice and ten small birds, a little smaller than my palm.
With the addition to my small, weak army I made my way towards the forest. Near the edge of the trees I spotted a tall lanky man using a bow and wearing a all green cloak and stalking a fox that had wandered out side of the tree line. This man was fallenol, a elf and currently the highest leveled person around this village at level 25. He wasn't some one you want to mess with, he would have been higher level but he also spent time hunting with his wife who's name I never bothered to learn. She was a healer and was probably at the towns church of light studying more healing spells.
On that note I quickly walked into the forest to level and maybe find a spirit I liked, doubt it though while its not rare to find spirits it is rare to find powerful spirits.
'Oh a squirrel, ATTACK'

I was sleeping when I recived the notice.
Monster waves are now surging forward from the "monster mountain" on each continent. They will start weak but grow in strength until some one defeats the boss at the top of the Mountain.
'I guess I'll need a good party'.

After the weird message last night I knew we had to hurry back to Matt. I had already picked up 3 rubys about the size of my finger nail. I had also found out the town had no summoners any more and now just had a necromancer, none the less I left him a message to come to the beach.
That was yesterday, we should be back to Matt by late tonight. Floating death had also levelled up thrice and chosen what class of ship she would grow into. It was a colonist ship. It could hold a near unlimited amount of things because once you were inside the hold you shrunk to 1/1000 your actual size. It would allow her to transport monsters around the globe. At level 75 she could also become a flying ship but that was still a very long ways away. She's currently only about 15 feet long with next to no storage, three sets of oars, and mad that she can't get her ship class until level 15.
Apex pov
It's been three days now. I managed to get four lizardling's and four garter snake's but when I tried to go for the wolf pack I only managed to get the alpha, a timber wolf, tamed before the rest of the pack was there. As I ran away only the timber wolf and my lizard, which was on my shoulder survived. The timber wolf was long legged and slightly red tinged in its grey fur. After deciding to say I couldn't get the wolf pack and that I lost my crab trying and my wolf evolved. I started to head back to the small camp site I had built.
Once there I retrieved the snakes and lizards from the little holes I had made to keep them safe. The holes were about three feet deep and shaped like a rain drop so that they couldn't climb or slither out. Both races were in their respective hole just as I left them. I immediately started to walk to the dungeon, still a little mad I couldn't get the other gold I was offered.
It took me about an hour to make it back to the beach where I was greeted by hunter and Gerald I think it was. They walked with me to Matt who told us to drop them in the eighth room in opposite corners so that they could go in the nests he built for them. On the walk hunter and Gerald killed many of the bugs and animals. We even saw a horned rabbit In the one room but it didn't attack and seemed to tell the other rabbits to stay back to, at least in that room. In the final room I got to see his dungeon heart, it was about the size of a child's fist and a deep blue. After we dumped the lizards and snakes they went into the nests. I chatted with them for a few more minutes before Gerald Walked out saying he had to go make sure no dungeon animals had left to far away. I finished my conversation with hunter and turned to walk away. Before turning around again to ask for my gold.
That was when I felt some thing sharp slide between my ribs and into my heart. I turned around to run but all that did was make a big cut . I didn't make it more than ten steps before I fell and the world went dark.

I didn't like this guy, he seemed a little bit to.... Fake. So I sent hunter a message to kill him and Gerald a message to kill his tamed animals and drag them inside to the cat room. As soon as it was all over the guys left and I chose to not absorb the body's Except the lizard it wasn't worth much. But my lizards and snakes started to eat him while the cats ate his timber wolf. I didn't leave anything for my now omnivore bunnies. The one was really strong it evolved into a Hare and started hunting cats before evolving yet again into a horned rabbit. When I checked its status it said it was a variant. The reason was it had close to four times the intelligence of other rabbits.
It took less than an hour for both bodies to be stripped clean of edible things before I absorbed the bones. Bringing my total up to 1000 mp. Three hours later I saw the benefits. With breeding frenzy on for both lizard and snake I had about forty of each. The lizardling's had split into two different groups when they evolved so i moved the half that had evolved into geckos into the passage ways and first 4 rooms while I kept the meat eating iguanas in the eighth room. The snakes had only one rank up and that was to what the system called cave snakes, they were just bigger stronger faster versions of the garter snakes and were about three feet long. The house cats also achieved a rank up to wild cats. They were about as tall as a mans knee and had very large incisors sticking out of their mouth.
Realizing I was running out of room I had calt increase all the rooms to 30x40 and create two more rooms with nests in them for any animal that wanted it.
Currently out of 1000 levels of strength a dungeon can have I was at about level 3 which is depressing. Even with all these new evolutions I was still in third place in the dungeon rankings. Whatever I was a lot stronger now, though I still needed to be stronger so I used 300 mana to fill the air in the bunny den to hopefully speed up their evolutions. I also set for cores to be created in the two new nests which it seems the tree wild cats took the one nearest my dungeon heart and the iguanas took the other one. I also had cores be created in a nest in one of the dead end passage ways. Most of the cave snakes had gone there for some reason.
After all that was done I received a message a message from Gerald asking to be changed to a snake once Lana was back. I of course said yes because it will be awesome to have a monster that smart in the dungeon, who knows maybe he will even be able to hunt wild cats.
