*So how much time do you think we have?*

After flying in circles for over half n hour Cera stopped and started panting on the floor.

“I...huf…....don't know...huf…...maybe a month or so.” Floating an inch off the ground after catching her breath. “Maybe more like two months we are really far north.

*Okay then we have time to get ready is there any…….* freezing in the middle of my question my vision cuts in and out.

“Any? You can't just start talking and then cut off whas up is something happening?”

*Somethings cutting my connection to a golem I had running.*

“Where is it?”

*There is a tunnel in the room above me that i had it digging.*

Flying through the vent shafts above me Cera zipped down tunnel the golem had dug. “How long has this thing been digging?”

*I don't know. Mabey about a month, 3 month before you arrived, I summoned it the day i came to this world.*

Coming to the end of the tunnel Cera saw that the golem had dug through the mountain and out the other side. Standing less than ten feet from the exit it had made the golem had fallen face first into the ground unmoving.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

“Huh looks like it left your influence and stopped working.” Landing on the back of the golem she lightly kick the back of the head. “Yep no mana left.”

*I thought I could use my mana at least one hundred feet from any exit why did it stop here?*

“That's only for exits that you have designated, I'm assuming because i showed up and the building of the dungeon that this thing was running on autopilot.”

Looking around her mouth dropped open. “This place is huge, I never knew a place like this was hidden inside the mountain range!”

Designating the tunnel as an exit the darkness surrounding the tunnel shrank back. When the darkness stopped my eyes bulged.

What it’s….. it’s all in the open.

On both sides of the tunnel snaking up to the sides of the mountain were vanes of minerals of black stone leading about forty feet up.

What is it?

If I had a guess it’s coal

Looking at it with a bored expression “oh well that cool”

*Do you even know what coal is?*

Nodding her head “it’s the stuff amateur blacksmiths uses because they cant find any magic ore deposits.”

*So there are better things to smelt with?*

“Yep. Coal is about the lowest of the low only new or poor blacksmiths use it.”

Concentrating on the coal I memorized the patter with that done a blue box appeared in my vision.

Congratulations you have found the base power source for multiple structures in you dungeon. Once they are powered you may use them,the amount of coal required to start up is 100 tons. Amount collected or produced 0%

Making the golem scale the hill it scraped off a sizable amount of the coal and dropped it into the cave. The counter in the blue box went up by 1.

*Well looks like it’s time to get to work*

“Damit! Not more digging” sighed Cera
