What was that? Did a human, no did Jordan just glow? What does that mean? I hope I didn’t do anything to him, I kinda liked the guy. Well I guess the real issue here is what to do now? Ruby slowly crawled around the area where Sapphire dissolved at and seemed sad. Sorry girl, that’s gonna happen in dungeons. I look at my menus to see if I can afford another monster. ‘Goblin Sapphire respawn in five minutes’
Oh thank, well, whatever god there is. Someone had to have made me into this and I doubt it was a human. Im just glad I won’t have to pay that stupid price every time I need to replace a defeated monster.
Hey Ruby, don’t be so sad, Sapphire will be back in five minutes. I guess good news for you, if you die you aren’t really dead. So for now just do me a favor and grab whatever junk you can that they left and bring it to me. Maybe I’ll get enough mana to spawn another friend for you two.
Ruby seemed to perk up a bit and went about gathering the items they left behind, just a lot of bullets and casings, a few magazines, some fabric, and dog tags? Looking closely they were Jordan’s.
Ruby don’t give me the dog tags just set them in my room, I want to give them back to him, just break the chain and give me that.
As she returned to my core she gave me all the items sans the dog tags as instructed. She simply placed them on the ground in front of me and left to wait for her sister. With all the new items I have it gave me enough mana to create another room and tunnel, so I do just that moving my core into the new room, well now I have my first room, my core room, and now a random empty room. What to do with it? ‘Empty room, may be altered in four ways: Roman may be a monster house, a trial room, a storage room, or a rest area for adventurers. More options are available upon choosing type of room’
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Well that’s interesting, let’s go with a trial room first. As much as I’d like to give my goblins a monster house, I’d rather make it harder for people to get to my core. ‘Traps and trials are now available to purchase, you may purchase a pit fall trap, a swinging log trap, a hidden arrow trap, a constricting wall trap. You may add traps to the list after explaining what they are and how they work to the system.’ So I can custom make these things as I see fit? Cool. I want my goblins to get as much experience as possible so my traps will be non lethal, just hold them in place for now.
Let’s see, I need a pit fall trap that has no spikes just a sort of sticky mud, similar to quicksand but not very deep. I don’t want them to die to the trap, it’s my goblins jobs to finish anyone off that falls into it. Oh and I need a giant quicksand pit across the whole middle of the floor like a river with only a thin beam to walk across, on one side of it oh the arrow trap but instead of sharp arrows put something blunt for the tip, just to scare people off or knock them off. At the end of the beam I want the swinging log trap to push them back toward the beam and hopefully into the trap.
‘Trail room being created, one moment.’ I watch as my mana drains drastically and the room shimmers a bit as the walls change to become larger than it was before and adding all of the traps I requested. I somehow still have a decent chunk of mana, enough to spawn another monster. ‘Spawn random monster?’ Random? Ooh I like a good gamble, and it’s cheap, only one gold. Let’s do this, I buy the gold and slam the random option. While the purchase is taking a while to get my random monster Sapphire pops back into existence and begins to play with Ruby. It would be cute if they weren’t so scary being all black like that, wait they each are slightly not black now. Ruby is slightly redder than before and Sapphire more blue. Looking closer at them ‘goblin Ruby female twenty five percent’ goblin Sapphire female twenty five percent’. Interesting so the more they come into their own the more they change. Looking back I see my random monster is here!
Tall and bipedal, black fur similar to my goblins, bulky and somewhat hunched. It reads ‘greater goblin male’. I hit random and just get greater goblin? Well not bad I guess, fits my theme and all so far. ‘Greater goblin now available to summon’ oh cool how much is? Oh god it’s five gold for a greater goblin? Geez you’re expensive, hopefully you’re worth it. ‘Greater goblin male, as no alpha is present the greater takes the place of an alpha in any goblin pack present, a greater goblin can match a beginner adventurer one to one, when paired with other goblins a greater goblin is a real threat to any adventuring groups of the beginner level’. And at such a good time, seems like I have some more visitor.
