It has been 5 days since muscle man left and I now have a full 25 mana at my disposal. My main goal right now is to create a floor boss. What if some wizard nerd comes along and solves my Rubik’s Cube? It is not as if another Rubik’s Cube will be a formidable threat to them. So with the current goal in mind of getting something worthy of being a floor boss in mind,
‘Dungeon Menu!’
Add Room Evolve Creatures Expand Room Purchase Item Research Summon Creatures Trap Menu
When I level up there has been new things to research so maybe I can research a floor boss? I focus in on ‘Research’ and the screen pops up. Normal routine stuff.
6th Room 25 Mp 2nd floor 25 Mp Learn Skill New weapons New creatures New evolutions Repair Core 1 Mp
And then it hits me. To have a floor boss I need to have multiple floors don’t I? Otherwise I may as well just call it a final boss.
It doesn’t matter what you call it you say?
Of course it does! I need to make my dungeon in the proper order or I may as well not do it at all. To making the second floor!
The ground begins to shake rapidly. The poor goblins both fall on their buts. I think if I still had my emotions I would be laughing at them right now. I wasn’t a great person in my last life, trust me I know.
Now to explore the new floor! If it made the ground shake it must be quite something. None of my other room additions did that they just kind of magicked into place. Heading down the nice rocky stairs(I bet they are sturdy) that are now in my core room, I notice my new floor is huge!
I mean look at it!
It is like a great hall or something. If I could be so honest. I see no point in adding rooms to this place. What point would there be in a tiny side room in the massive place. If it works the way I think it does I need to build 5 more rooms to get a third floor so hopefully I can build them on my first floor though. Now let’s see if my mana pool has increased with this new floor!

Dungeon Core lvl 5

Is this because this new floor is as big as my first floor is? I don’t know how it works but I like it! 10 Mp a day is like a dream. That is 5 goblins a day! Zerg rush!UwU! It doubled!
Ok, I’m not at that level yet but I think I am at the level where I could make Aka into a floor boss soon through his evolutions. Now that I think of it, I don’t have any mana to make a floor boss now do I?
Haha very funny it is not as if this wasn’t my plan all along. I knew nobody would solve my Rubik’s Cube today so I chose to upgrade my Mp/day first. Actually it took me 3 months to solve a Rubik’s Cube with the internet, can these people really ever solve it?
Maybe I should advertise my dungeon so that way I get more Dp. Right now my whole advertising thing is just a caravan that Mr. Merchant (you were not forgotten yet) left behind. I guess once somebody comes here and gives me some dp I can use it to my the holy artifact ‘Eerie Torch’ so that way people might stay the night. And I can always research new items in the research menu. Maybe someday I can buy a sign. Now then, it is time to rest my weary head. Not that I have a head. Or that I can feel weary. Guess I’ll just watch the goblins to pass the time
----------------------------------------
I see. I see. Goblins are so boring to watch! I need to buy these guys a deck of cards so they are more entertaining all they do right now is grunt! I wish I saved some Dp to buy items! I wonder if a deck of cards and a sign can even pop up in the ‘New Weapons’ menu anyways. I beat my friends a lot with my deck of cards so I think I would call it a weapon. By the way, we weren't friends anymore after about the 10th time in a row they lost all the money they bet. Maybe I should have been a pro gambler in my past life? Although I was bad at gachas so I don’t know.
Ah! I got side tracked. Back to making a floor boss. Aka your time has come my minion. You are no longer a minion, you are now a servant of this great me. Rejoice in your promotion.
Aka, you could at least play along instead of just giving me the cold shoulder.
I might even give you shoulders in your next evolution if you become a dragon!
Eh? The cost to evolve Aka went up? What is with that? Least time he costed 10 Mp now he costs 25? I could get the ‘Expand Domain’ skill with that much Mp! I must not though. Every proper dungeon has to have a dragon and a floor boss. As of now I have neither. ‘Expand Domain’ you seem like a wonderful skill but you can wait. Now back to listening to goblins grunt at each other.

Yay! I have 30 Mp now(finally these goblins are boring even for a dungeon cores standards). Time to give Aka his random evolution! What!? Aka is evolving! No he is just shedding.
'Serpent of Flames' 'Aka' has begun evolution
'Serpent of Flames' has evolved into 'Solar Elapid'
Oh look his head is much bigger now, I wonder if he got smarter?
‘Appraisal!’
Skill 'Appraisal' has leveled up. Gained Appraisal lvl 3.
Nice, good timing!
Solar Elapid lvl 4 Name: Aka Hp: 17/16(+1) Mp: 26/25(+1) Stats: Str: 5(+3) Int: 17(+1) Dex: 7(+1) Spd: 11(+1) Vit: 3(+1) Wis: 6(+1) Luk: 3(+1) End: 6(+1) Skills: Fire Fang lvl 2 Bite lvl 2 Solar Light lvl 1
Ooh, I can see his skill now, maybe I can see his titles if I level up my skill again? But that is not what is important! Look at his stats he has grown out of his chuunibyou stage and is now a full blown wizard. He still has a kind of chunni name though. Did my naming influence his evolution last time? Nai wa.
Anyway how are his skills now that I can see them?
'Appraisal!'
Fire Fang
5 Mp. Sets fangs on fire dealing 2xInt dmg.
Bite
Deals damage equal to str.
Solar Light
5Mp causes a blinding light centered on the user.
Oh, ‘Fire Fang’ must be that skill he used on Mr. Merchant (damn you are hard to forget). And then I assume ‘Solar Light’ is the new skill you gained with this evolution? This would be pretty gould in combat since you can close your eyes before it happens and it doesn’t cost that much Mp. once you are higher level couldn’t you perma-blind with this skill? Your potential is already very large Aka (just like appraisal said). Maybe one day you can be one of my 4 demon generals. Now that I think of it I only have 2 minions and 1 servant. Congrats on your promotion, Aka. I should probably summon more minions soon if I ever want to have 4 demon generals.
Aka keep carrying me!
----------------------------------------
It has been 3 days since Aka’s evolution and I have came to realization that Aka is more fun to watch than the goblins. But I have saved up 35 mana so my first purchase will be ‘Expand Domain’ for 25 Mp!
New skill 'Expand Domain' learned
Yay let’s check it out.

Expand Domain
Expand the range of the dungeons influence into preexisting land. Mp cost may vary.
Mp cost varies? It is like the fine print on the “perfect product”. Well I have 10 Mp so I will t least see how close I can get to the town. For now we will start with 50 square meters right in front of my dungeon. Huh? I only felt 5 Mp drain out of me I was kind of expecting more. This was easily the size of one of my floors. It only costs 5 Mp?
Nai wa.
I must just be bad at feeling my mana.

Fungus Dungeon
Ohhh I guessed it right aren’t I so cool. Wait that means it only cost me 5 mana and the town isn’t even a kilometer out so this will be in my domain in no time.
‘Expand Domain’
Eh? But I only wanted another 50 square meters? How come it costs me 15 Mp now? I waited a long time to get this mana so I am going to spend it don’t get in the way of my fun!
I guess I will use ‘Gain Random New Creature’ with my last 5 Mp. Last time I almost got a hydra!
'Griffon'
Oh oh yes stop right there!
'Triton'
No no no please I don’t need a triton! They can’t breathe!
'Mushroom'
No I already have mushrooms how can you give them to me again! It really is a gacha!
'Arachnid'
Yes stop right here! That sounds good enough!
New creature 'Fairy' added to the 'Summon Creature' option of the 'Dungeon Menu'
I guess fairy isn’t that bad.
‘Appraisal!’
Fairy
An extinct humanoid known for its magic aura. Likes nature and can influence the growth of nature around them.
Huh? Fairies are extinct in this world? Well, I guess they are in my world too but… This is a fantasy world fairies shouldn’t be extinct. Maybe I should stick fairies in my treasure chests for adventurers. They are pretty rare after all if they are extinct!
