Ugh

Just like last time I woke up with a massive headache not knowing where I am. Please don't tell me I would have to do this again for a third time. Well at least I'm not blind this time since I can see my environment around me. Wait... I can see the environment all around me literally, a full three hundred sixty degree view around me. What is happening, this is not suppose to be normal. Wait, lets calm done. To first to figure out what my situation is right now I must try to retrace my steps of what happened before.

Ok to recap I was originally on my bed with my phone and the next thing I knew I woke up feeling like I was hit by a bus in one could argue a low budget version of heaven. After seeing a disguised angel talking to a bunch of other people that I guess was the [heroes] the [System] was talking about. Wait there was the system that explained everything to me. It also reincarnated me into this world. As a [dungeon core]…

So that is it. I'm no longer human. Did the [System] made me into a giant sapient crystal like all those stories I read online. To make sure I need to assess the status of my body.

Status - General Information - Stats - Traits - Abilities - Skills - Techniques - Titles

Oh so that is the [Status Screen] of this world, it is quite complex than the simple ones in the stories. Well that does somewhat makes sense, if the [System] allows every to access the [Status Screen] it would have to accommodate probably thousands of millions in this world alone so the complexity of numbers and the complexity that comes with life itself not even considering how magic comes to play, the simplest status screen that have the basics of a person would be as large as this. Or that is just overthinking. Come on John you need to focus. Where was I oh yeah my body.

I try to bring up my arms to see them. Nothing happens, right I'm a [dungeon core] I probably have no arms or legs or even a real body. There is no need to worry about that, no siree. Lets move on to distract myself from that revelation. I try to look down, all I see is soggy dark dirt surrounding beneath me. Right three hundred sixty degree view, so I'm probably half way in the ground. I can also see a significant distance in the dirt like well I don't know how to describe it. It's like I can perceive my surroundings in depth not from a distance like normal eyes can but like a thousands eyes throughout the dirt, I can see the dirt a couple of feet away as if it was right in front but at the same time the same thing applies to every spot in what I can only describe as my domain which is only a couple dozen of feet in diameter. Inside of the dirt itself is mostly decomposed plant matter but some currently in the process with shallow roots of weeds near the surface but throughout the dirt is a strong encompassing network of mycelium. What type of environment is this?

I decided to move the focus of my view to the surface since another quirk of my new sight is that I can see everything like some kind of omniscient god that would send you too hell for shoplifting a pack of gum from the grocery store, but I only can focus on one area at a time while the others just fade into the background. When I looked up I see a what I think is a bog or something, I never saw one is real life so I'm not entirely sure but I saw photos online and I know what they are basically so one can deduce this is one. I'm low on a slightly tall mound but not that wide either with stagnant shallow water surrounding it with short weeds and grasses on the edges of the mound but lone strands and bushels in the water. There are a considerably large quantity of mushrooms of all kinds on the land sparsely dispersed also. It seems like it was day out but there was a thick fog covering surface and blocking the sky.

Now I know what my surroundings look like all that is left is too see what I look like. Lets hope for the best. First I need to figure out how to. If I can move my focus to see around me, I probably can try to turn it around. I begin to try to but it is more difficult that I thought. As I pulled more effort into this, it just clicked.

Urrrghhh, oh heh it worked... oh Oh Ugh

Once I was able to take a glimpse upon my new form I was soon disgusted by its appearance by my old human tastes. I was near spherical in shape around a size of a basketball but not made of the stereotypical crystal. Instead I was made of a chaotic jumble of peat, fungal and plant tissues, and decomposed flesh with roots or tentacles growing into the ground. I look like a giant alien tumor that would be found in a sci-fi horror movie. God, why do I look like that.

Dungeon Tooltips - As a type of [Land God] whose spirit permeates through its domain, its main body is usually made out of the key elements it governs.

Wait what was that. Is it the [System] again. Are you going to answer my questions again?

Dungeon Tooltips -

1. A [Dungeon Tooltips] notification

2. Yes but not in the context you think it is

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

3. The [System] will not but [Dungeon Tooltips] will since it is one of its main functions

Oh the previous explanation for my appearance makes sense but if you are not the [System] that what are you?

Dungeon Tooltips - [Dungeon Tooltips] is an [Ability] you gain from the fusion of [Dungeon Instinct] which comes from the [Dungeon Master] [Class] which allows them to understand and manage their [Dungeon] with [System Tooltips] which comes from the [Hero Summoning Extra] [Title] to help acclimate the otherworlder to [Teahgra].

Oh that's helpful. So [Abilities] and probably other things can fuse and I assume can evolve too. If I get [System Tooltips] do the [Heroes] get it too and when did I get a [Class].

Dungeon Tooltips -

1. Yes

2. No, they get [System Guide] which is much superior and actively assist the user

3. You get [Classes] when you are qualified for them. You currently have [Scholar] which unlocks with a certain amount of education (the equivalent of a high school education from your world) and [Dungeon Master] which unlocks when someone gains control over a [Dungeon] (Sapient [Dungeons] are rare but get the [class] automatically and the ownership cannot be transferred)

Oh that's a lot but aren't you technically assisting me now?

Dungeon Tooltips - [Dungeon Tooltips] is an upgraded version that have superior functions concerning the [Dungeon] only, the rest of the functions is the same as [System Tooltips]

Ok, if you're going to help me what should I do first?

Dungeon Tooltips - Going over your [Status Screen] to understand yourself better should be your first step

Hm, [Status Screen] please.

Status - General Information - Stats - Traits - Abilities - Skills - Techniques - Titles

Lets go in order, open [General Information]

General Information

Name: N/A (Past Name: John Moore)

Race: Dungeon (Bog/Fungal/Undead) Lv. 1

Class: Scholar Lv. 3, Dungeon Master Lv. 1

Affiliation: None (Land - Spore Wastes)

Energy:

Green Lifeforce: Very Low

Crimson Lifeforce: Slight

Necrotic Energy: Medium

Various Types of Mana: Large

Esper: Slight

Stamina: Low

Um, Heh [Dungeon Tooltips] can you explain what I am seeing?

Dungeon Tooltips -

Name - It's your identification, since you died an moved on, your old name does not apply to you anymore so a new one need to chosen

Race - It's what you are and the level can only increase with cultivation, you are a dungeon, a type of [Land God] and your alignments are Bog, Fungal, and Undead

Class - It's what you can do, a part of your identity. You unlock it with fulfilling the requirements and it can only level up through its use. It makes the acquirement of class skills easier

Affiliation - It's what faction you aligned to, you are technically aligned to none but as a [Land God] you are already aligned to your environment which is the Spore Wastes

Energy - It's the energy that is part of you (as a dungeon you are filled with the energy which permeates the land and is in charge of maintaining it, practically a guardian of magic)

  Lifeforce - The energy that comes from life and vitality, flavored to different types of life, green to plants and crimson to animals

  Necrotic Energy - The energy of death and decay that comes from the perversion of lifeforce

  Mana - Elemental energy that align to the environment and permeates all matter

  Esper - Mental Energy that can be produced by neural tissues, computers, and anything that can think

  Stamina - Organic energy that is used to fuel and make up life

Again, that's a lot to take in. Ok go by them one at the time. For my name it seems like I won't be able to use that anymore, I'm less upset about that than I thought I would be. I should note that down for later. For my race it seems like I would be an undead type dungeon, *sarcastic yeah*. Even if I was going to be a [Dungeon] I hoped that I would not be a murder pit. I don't really want to hurt people and having undead might mean the opposite. Heck, most fantasy stories would suggest that I would be hunted down and purged by a bunch of fanatical paladins. Calm down John, or at least John for now, deal with one problem at a time. It seems like I would need to cultivate to level up my race and I assume [Dungeons] cultivate differently to people. Whatever next we have class wait why is not in brackets like last time?

Dungeon Tooltips - The general sense of the word is usually not [ ] but in the context of the [System] or in the context usually used by the [System] it will be.

Oh ok, back to where I was. It said that [classes] would need to be used to level, practically like in real life, when you do something over and over again, you get better at it. For affiliation, that makes sense. Also it is neat that I already know where I am. So Spore Wastes, is that the reason why there so much mycelium in the soil. Now for Energy, the job and purpose of a [dungeon] seems like to regulate the energy levels of their environment, being given this significantly important job makes me feel a little unworthy for it but also a slight sense of purpose. Any way lets continue with the rest.
