Reginald calculated that it would take him about three minutes to fully refill his Mana and it would take less than eight full expenditures of his mana to max out the overlevel for this level.  He proceeded to make a bunch of large empty rooms, in which he would later spend time to design them.  During this expenditure, Construct leveled up twice, giving him another fifty mana.  Less than an hour after he had increased from Level One to Level Two, he was ready to Level Up again.

The fanfare rang out again.

Reginald hummed softly as he examined his notifications.  *Dungeons really do have the easiest time building up to maximum Overlevels...*

He started placing Mana Lights, and experimenting by making a grotto with a waterfall and a treasure chest behind it.  In the treasure chest, he made figurine sized marble statues of Borick and Malon, then filled it with a bunch of silver and copper coins with a sprinkling of gold for whomever came this deep and managed to find it.  The pool from the waterfall eventually was dug to meet the initial moat with the herbs around it.  Then he built a staircase up towards where his next level would be.

After spending less than an hour he hit the sixty thousand experience cap, and leveled up again.

*Smart ass AI...  How deep did you bury us?  I still can't sense the surface!*

>Approximately 1 of your kilometers.

*So, you're saying that I need to continue leveling up?*

He made a staircase up, and started working on another floor.
