Chapter 3 - Discussion

"Now you have all heard that you are going to be Dungeon Masters from my Father already so now I'm going to explaing about what that job entails."(Selena)

"Wait wait wait wait, YOU'RE THE ALL FATHER'S DAUGHTER?"(Hodvir)

"Yea, I get that a lot. Actually every planet has one of his children running it as the God of Birth, Evolution and Death. Then he goes around and tries to find a few souls that would work for Dungeon Masters and puts them in the Child's world. Moving on. We are currently in what is called God's Chapel which is located in God's Domain, think of it as a higher plane of existence that mortals will rarely be able to reach. From this higher plane of existence we will be able to interact with the denizens in the world below us. Our current plan is to choose locations of where each of you will start your dungeons. We will start with the first arrival Sebastian and end with our final arrival Azazel. Please look around for the location that you will find most suitable for your dungeon."(Selena)

At this time something a screen rises out of the table in front of use along with a keyboard and mouse.

Man that's some high tech stuff right there

As i was ruminating about how the screen popped out of the table, Sebastian looked quite peeved.

"I don't care where it is as long as it has the highest mana concentration on the planet!"(Sebastian)

Mana? Hah what a noob. Everyone knows that mana and magic doesn't exist.

"Well that's easy enough, the location with the highest mana concentration is right on this land mass."(Selena)

Selena then point out a spur of land towards the south of the map.

"Well then that's where I'm going to start."(Sebastian)

"*Sigh* That's what I was hoping for."(Hodvir)

....What

"Well Hodvir if that's what you are looking for, the second highest location with mana concentration is located in this small mountain range."(Selena)

"Thanks Selena, that's where I'll start then."(Hodvir)

....wait....is this really happening

"Okay since I'm up next, I found this area with a decent concentration of mana and hills, i want to start here."(Alex)

"Alright Alexander that seems to be a good place, plenty of expansion available. Next up is Sabrina."(Selena)

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

"Well I uh, I would like to start here."(Sabrina)

Sabrina then indicates a location on the map with relatively flat land.

"Excellent choice Sabrina, that area has the third highest mana concentration of the continent."(Selena)

"Tha-Thank you"(Sabrina)

Are these people all serious? Everyone is looking at me. Magic can't exist. Better ask.

"Why does there exist a mana concentration option when mana doesn't exist?"(Azazel)

And then the room erupts into laughter. 

"As expected of the DM that took so long to get here. He doesn't even understand the basics of magic. Allow the gracious I to explain to you plebeian. Magic is the building blocks of life. Everything that exists has magic in it. Somethings have more, some has less, but its all there. Mana concentration is how much and how fast magic is able to be collected in the area.  "(Sebastian)

At this revelation, everyone around the table begins to nod their head in agreement.

"Further more, mana is what is used to improve and grow the dungeon. As such dungeons with higher a concentration of mana will have a much greater chance of succeeding."

More nods around the table.

"This is all the free information that I will be giving you. However if you swear allegiance to me, I will take you under my wing."(Sebastian)

Wow this changes everything. I guess this isn't a pleasure dungeon after all. It seems like a fantasy dungeon. I wonder what the purpose is.

"Selena, what exactly is the purpose of a Dungeon?"(Azazel)

"Well, Azazel, generally the purpose of Dungeons is to hold artifacts of great power from the gods, however you five are unique. You will be creation dungeons. Your duty will be to introduce monsters and races to live in your dungeon and conquer other dungeons. As well as to explore the world."(Selena)

I see. In that case its time to go big or go home. With a few billion years, i can choose someplace interesting, and with evolution i can make sure it gets there.

I grab the computer and start looking for the perfect location.

Thanks to Geology and Biology i know how the planet evolves and how life evolves. All the other dungeons may have mana concentration, but I have science.
