Ch 5 Reverse Conception
A few hours into my conquest to defend myself, my 1st room was born. Separated into three parts one being the entrance, two doors to give the would-be invaders a hint that only two are allowed inside, the hallway of the first room Is Wide and spacious to allow many to come, this however is a trap! Underneath the flooring made out of gravel and sand surrounded by a pocket of air, is a large pool of water ready to sink on the invader's weight.
Part of this contraction activates by pushing water through a funnel creating a whirlpool. This forces the air trapped between the gravels in the water to be pushed out of a pipe going to the third contraction forcing the water pressure to follow the escaping air in fall from the sky. This forces the water to fall at high speeds due to the pressure as more water is funnel back up creating a loop. The last part is a walkway in the shape of a flat blenders blade that reaches the exit safely, even if they felt on the water nothing would happen to them as long as there are only two people in the room, for the people that don't follow my rules I made thousands of small gifts for them if they don't get cut in half first from the water pressure slamming them into the blender bridge made out of stainless steel, thousands of small chips or flat diamonds about the sizes of a thumb from the same material littered the bottom of the pool of death, to prevent them blocking the water pressure a safety net made out of stainless steel prevent the sharp ships resting on the bottom of the pool to run up the pipe falling from the sky and plugging the pressure pipe, this allows water to move unimpeded maintaining the speed of the funnel. Taking a look at my handiwork I was happy with how it turned out, I couldn't wait to see them crying and bloody roses of all those lowlife beastmen.. huh?.. no human? huh?? what's happening to me my mind was getting overwhelmed by the urge to kill the Trespassers of my territory, the System made itself known at this moment.
[Host mental defenses have been breech. Beginning restoration of host mental strength]
*what?*
A smooth and icy feeling ran through my head cooling my broiling bloodlust like a cold shower on a summer day. My mind quickly recovered from this episode as I realized I almost got devour by the Sapient's lingering wills. I hurried to check my mission completion and was shocked.
[Mission: Increased Host Synchronisation rate 1.
Description: The host Synchronisation rate is too low for the System to fully fuse. While inside the host MindScape please create a Dungeon labyrinth, the system will recover the mental strength of the host for this mission only, the more complex the host creations the more mental strength it will need, the host goal is to use at least 100% total of his current mental strength.

Mission failure: The host will have an incomplete fusion, preventing the system from protecting the host mind from the (721,974) undigested will fragments the host body is currently made out of.]
120/100? How did I went over a hundred, did the system supported me while I wasn't paying attention? The System picking up on my confusion responded.
[Host current mental strength is being used fully. Due to the host's hunger for more energy, a connection to the pieces of the host body you are not in control of was established. The lingering wills started the fusion process. The System Synchronisation rate was too low to properly protect the host. The lingering wills are currently attempting to reach the host. Host please hurry to receive your mission rewards.]
Hearing this I took a look at my surroundings, the pitch-black plane now had small red dots in the distance. Focusing my eyes on them I saw many blobs with glowing red eyes walking slowly to me, some of them were blocked by a thin film of energy others however crashed thru it like glass. The few who walked the fastest looked like humans, elves, goblins, tree people, and giants with beast ears. All of these creatures were black with mist coming out of their melting bodies. Seeing that I would get overrun by this angry mob I quickly yelled to the system.
* Receive mission reward!!*
[ Host has completed the mission (Increased Host Synchronisation rate 1) Host permission receive, beginning Synchronisation adjustment.]
I started to feel like something was trying to invade my body, after a bit, my body seems to accept this intrusion as if it was always there.
[Synchronisation adjustments complete. Due to Host going beyond expectations, additional rewards have been sent. Host Total Fusion with System is now increased from 60% to 74%.]
Upon receiving the rewards, a new film spread from my entire body quickly expanding to the shadow creatures. The film of light was slightly more robust pushing the creatures away from me, however upon reaching the largest giant with wolf ears.
CRACK!!
The barrier's strength was sufficient against the other lingering wills but the giant wolf-man, pushed back by only a small amount continued walking. The beast in human form was making almost no progress slowly trying to reach me. The barrier was now sporting a wolf-man size hole as it reached the previous film's location, slowly patching itself up, the other shadow creatures now funneling thru the open space. As the hole was being filled by the shadow creatures they started to reach the giant, upon doing so they tried to walk around the extremely slow beast, only to find them selfs pushed all the way back to the beginning. The smarter creatures begin using the giant as a shield slowly filling any safe space the creature's wide and towering frame cast.
I was able to see the effect increasing Synchronisation would have, any doubts left gone, at this time the system spoke again.
[Mission completed. Dispensing next task. Pleases standby. ]

Knowing that this was a race against time I quickly pulled up the Labyrinth creation & management, quickly getting to work on my next project.
