Warning

You require a corpse to create a Zombie.

Dang it again. Well that makes sense, to create a zombie you need a body to raise but how am I suppose to be a Undead [Dungeon] if I can't even make one zombie. Whatever, lets make a Myconid instead, hope they are the large variant not one of those small ones that can't do anything.

Warning

You require a corpse to create a Myconid.

The same message, heh [System] I think you mistaken a zombie for a myconid.

Dungeon Tooltips - A Myconid is a type of false undead where a fungus animate the corpse of a recently deceased beast or person either produced through dying in the Spore Wastes or when one infects the living. A corpse is required for you to create one.

Oh, so it is one of those zombies from a scientifically acuate movies. Probably looks like the ones from that one game. Kinda horrifying if you think about, all you need to be bitten to turn which means they could take over the world or would magic limit the spread. There is goblins in this bog so they did not went extinct. Anyways, I should assume there are no mushroom people in this world like other fantasy worlds if this is what the [System] consider myconids.

If I can't make these two can I make a Goblin?

Warning

You lack the required [Crimson Lifeforce] and the right [Stamina] to create a Goblin.

Seriously, I it so hard to just create a monster. At least I can make a goblin. Wait is a goblin a monster? Isn't it like a type of humanoid, what define a monster?

Dungeon Tooltips -

1. No, it is a semi-sapient humanoid

2. The word monster is complex, usually used by civilized races to categorize dangerous entities.

If it is not a monster, how can I spawn a semi-sapient race. Is there like a limit between semi-sapient and sapient races I can spawn.

Dungeon Tooltips - There is not limits besides the requirements to spawn a specific entity or item as long you unlock the template or modify a current template. You unlocked Goblins due to their abundance in your area like the other templates. If you spawned near a Human settlement or nomadic group, their template would have unlocked.

Oh, so there is really no difference between the two. So how do I gain the resources to make one then. Hmm.. Wait don't I have mosquitos. Can I use them to gather blood from the surrounding animals?

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

No response huh, I think I finally found the limit to functions, can assist me understanding myself and the [system] but not problem solving. Seems like I have to figure it out. So planning time. I have mosquitos which can drink the blood but how do I make them give me the blood. O, don't I have the [Command Creature] from my [Dungeon Master] [class] and since I am the [dungeon] they would barely resist. So all I have is to spawn them but I don't think I have enough resources to create enough of them to make a significant amount of them. Also stirges sound like a superior option but the back of my mind is telling me I can only create one of them without any mosquitos. Which one to pick, quantity or quality.

Dungeon Tooltips - You can choose the age of the creature you spawn, some like Mosquitos cost significantly less if you spawn them in the gestation phase and forced changes including [metamorphoses] are easier. Creature maturity rate can be sped up also.

That is so much more convenient especially since I have a huge body of stagnant water surrounding, the perfect breeding place for mosquitos. The total cost may be slightly higher for [Stamina] but the cost of one adult mosquito in [Crimson Lifeforce] equals three eggs. So I decided to make a couple dozen eggs along the edge of my little island while designating three to change into stirges. Some changes I made beside the metamorphosis was two simple ones, the first making them all female so they can actually have the ability to drink blood, I have no need for tree sap from the males. The second which was much more difficult was modifying them to be able to throw up the blood the drink and injecting it into something else since it turns out my core would need to be able to absorb the blood directly to add it to my stores and it was this or killing them every time they return. This modification gave them a new [trait], [Living Syringe] which made them able to carry and transmit resources, specifically blood but this has the potential to be able to apply to other liquids.

It took them a few minutes I believe to hatch and mature into larva. It was not kidding when they said their growth would be faster. As the swim in they water eating algae and other debris I spend my time assimilating the plants and fungus surround my core. All of them were just weeds and nothing significant so I decided to look through my template list to if there was anything interesting to spawn. There was one that caught my interest. I was called the Black Ichor Cap. The name itself sounds something a edgy teenager would would make up. At least it is not that edgy. So I decided to spawn it near me. As it grew I felt it absorbing more [necrotic energy] than it should have and I instantly knew why, Black Ichor Cap grows on decomposing matter and absorb the necrotic energy and the dying materials turning it into a substance which drip from its cap. You can even call this ichor concentrated death and you would not be wrong. I have a feeling this herb can be processed for use in necromancy. When it finish growing, it was small and weak while all the other flora around it started to wither. It barely produced any of the ichor.

After growing the literal death cap I continued to spread my essence evenly through out the dirt, water, flora, practically everything that was stuck in place within my domain. From what felt like an hour or so the fog or should it be called the [spore cloud], whatever its name is, it started to clear up and recede. Once it finished a blue sky appeared above with the sun already half way through its journey. There was also distant mountains covering the entire horizon in every direction. I could now more easily see the fuzzy view outside my domain. I was able to guess the mountains and the sky because their outlines were quite simple and what I assume to be more of the bog continued for quite a distance. I can also see the outlines of more Grey Pillars everywhere. They actually seem to grow in groups of two to three while the one in my domain must be a loner.

While admiring the scenery the mosquitos finally matured and started to go to my shores awaiting my orders. The stirges would need more time to grow. Once I noticed this I commanded them to gather blood and return it to me by injecting it into my core. When I finish their orders, they took flight and a swarm of mosquitos went in all directions into the bog and left my border. The first part of my plan to make goblins had been a success with minimal hiccups, some larva was eaten by predators but that was a small amount. Begin phase two.
