"So I guess that's what a Boss Monster looks like," Mari mused and spun the hologram of the Forest Advocate version 2 around.

Mari moved to place the Boss back onto the table map when a new screen appeared.

Boss Encounter + 100c

Similar to a game, the Boss can't leave a certain area. Instead, they live in unique territories special for them. Due to the Guardians Space Affinity, this territory has been moved into a pocket dimension a Domain, each Boss will get their own. As more bosses are created a central hub will be crafted so that the bosses of different floors can interact and learn from each other.

* Craft the Domain

* Assign the Boss

* Place the Entrance to the Boss Encounter

"Interesting, Let's see," Mari selected Craft the Domain first and was welcomed with what appeared to be a map that functioned similarly to the table version. There was a section with all the items that could be added such as Trees, Bushes, Grass, and Flowers. As well as a screen for creatures, though this time it was limited to small birds, animals, and the usual assorted critters.

"I guess I'm really making my boss's new home," Mari was about to get started when it occurred to her that she didn't really know what the ideal habitat was for a Forest Advocate, on top of that she had to keep in mind that this was also going to be a battlefield. The final confrontation for the Warriors on floor 1 before they could move onto floor 2, so it had to be impressive.

"That's helpful," Mari voiced after noticing the new additions at the bottom, "The new Skill is interesting too... Well, let's get to work."

A lot of work went into making the perfect domain, she wanted to make sure her new boss would have enough space to relax and develop, but she also wanted to make a truly impressive arena for the Warriors.

In the end, Mari created a large field, the majority of it was made up of forested areas for the boss to live in and use to hide if needed. That meant the trees needed to be truly massive as the Forest Advoacte was rather large.

In the center Mari grew a tree taller than all the others, in the space covered by its shadow she made the arena. Mostly grass with several flowers it appeared to be rather simple but in truth the roots of several trees were hidden underground.

Finally, she added several birds, critters, and a few bunnies so as to make the place seem more alive.

"And, done," Mari announced and took a step back to look at the finished product. "I like it, let's add the Boss then choose the entrance."

Once the hologram of the Forest Advocate Boss was added to the new domain she moved the screen aside so she could better see the table map.

"Hmm, where to put it..." Mari walked around the table several times yet still couldn't decide where she wanted to place it.

"Actually, where's the Warriors spawning point?" It suddenly occurred to her that while the second floor had one this floor didn't.

Floor 1

Spawnpoint: Random

* Switch to Targeted? Yes/No

"Ah," Mari quickly selected Yes, then chose a spot close to the edge of the floor. She already had a plan in mind.

Once that was done she chose a tree directly opposite and slightly to the right to place the entrance. She Grew the tree so that while it wasn't taller it was wider than saved everything and took a step back to watch the changes.

As the tree changed a green light shot from the middle of the forest and embedded itself into the tree smack dam in the middle at about eye level for the average human.

"Huh, wasn't expecting that." Mari leaned closer to better examine the green light.

Fragment of the Forest Heart

When touched by Warriors it will teleport them into the Boss encounter, after defeat, they will receive the Fragment

"Nice, it follows the Lore and looks good." Mari stepped back and nodded to herself.

"Next up is to make the Safe Zone, I already know where to put it." When the screen asked her to highlight the area she wanted to make into the Safe Zone apperad Mari went right to the center of the Map where she cleared a small area of trees and selected a small circle.

Once she saved her choice, the small clearing glowed and several flowers grew along the edge of the Safe Zone. "Beautiful," Mari awed.

The floors were distinctly otherworldly, instead of green the stalks sprouting from the earth were gold. The petals were a unique shade of purple that shimmered in the breeze.

"Hmm, I wish I had the time to go and relax there, but I don't know when the Warriors are going to be back so I have to keep working." Mari shook her head and focused

"Right, that's the Boss and Safe Zone for Floor 1 done. Time to move onto Floor 2." With that said she changed the table map to the Second Floor and groaned at the thought of having to choose a boss monster.

While at first, she had considered the Serene Leviathon, she really liked the idea of Warriors exploring and then stumbling across the massive monster and that wouldn't happen if it was a Boss and couldn't leave its domain.

For a while, Mari was stumped as she stared at her limited options. "I guess I should first complete the Each Island has a unique monster quest." Mari considered.

Pulling up the Quests she had Mari decided she would first create the Safe Zone, so she could get the reward credits. Then she would make Unique Monsters for the Islands, and finally, she would choose a Boss.

"Back to work then," Mari sighed with a slight smile, even though it was at time tiering she was still enjoying the creativity and imagination she got to bring to life.
