I connected the various paths to the new dance room, the kitchen to the second floor of the dance room and then the greenhouse and medicinal garden to the base floor of the dance room.

I also connected the path towards the river on the opposite side of the dance room which will help me expand that way later.

Now since that’s done people can find the room when they wake up so I can focus on adding more touches to the room.

I have flowering plants added all over the place, from flowery vines trailing up the pillars or wrapping around railings.

Flowering bushes in planters along the walls and bordering the stage for the musicians as well as the performers for the talent show, and also to ether side of the benches for the women when they are waiting to receive their dance invitations.

I make carved paths for water that run along the the walls in a water slough that would create the babbling brook sound that Luna said was relaxing one time when she had returned from the river before it had started snowing.

I find the water sounds needed more texture added to the paths to create the sound she most likely meant so I added curves and little drops here and there until I had the whole room echoing with the sound of the water flowing through the carved walls.

Some spots had a little splash zone so I added small ledges with plants that have higher water requirements to decorate them, which then lead me to plant mana grass all along the edges to create a green trail alongside the walls.

The water sounds softened just slightly as some of the sound was muffled by the greenery and I planted new mana grass in my core room where I had transplanted the mana grass from.

I also thought more lighting would be necessary so I moved patches of glowing moss to trail along the path above the water slough where the light will leak through the greenery and reflect off the water.

This effect was quite appealing and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, the light looked like it was also dancing to the sound of the babbling river in the walls.

I had to create a water catch at the top and bottom to hold the water as a reservoir to keep the water flowing as I had to put a constant absorbing spot on the bottom.

I would occasionally add water to the tank at the top which I also added moist mosses all along the tanks roof just to keep making more water and slightly reduce how frequently I would have to refill the tank.

I have fire ferns and frost ferns to add more colored light as the red, yellow and orange of the fire ferns looks warmer and cheery with the heat they also produce, and the white and light blue light the frost ferns produce is more calming and chilly with the coldness that they emit.

I decided to have them alternate around the room to create some spots that are warmer and other areas that are cooler without allowing ether locations from being too hot or cold for my inhabitants.

I felt inspired and I wanted to keep going but I wasn’t sure what else I could do currently as it is fairly well lit up now with all the glowing plants, and I have already made the furnishings, I even put the smaller flowering plants on tables and everything else I could think of.

But I desired to keep constructing more!

I expanded the path towards the river a few sleeping room lengths and I added a new washroom and improved toilets between the Hunter’s family and the CorviDae’s family area’s right where the hallway forks to their two different living quarters.

The bachelor hall already has their own washroom and improved toilets, making there be four locations so far.

I add a few more empty rooms to the bachelors hallway for future inhabitants to move into right away.

Then I decided to make another level where I made two different rooms one filled with all the fire type plants and the other filled with all the ice type plants, as once they grow and fill the room I could possibly make vents that connect them to other key locations to act as heating and cooling whenever it’s needed.

I also extended the hallway to the prison room and pushed the prison in the direction of the Barkley’s camp, even having the hallway slope downwards until it is technically on the level that would be the third floor region of the dungeon.

I partly did so because I really don’t like the prison or Rita who is the only prisoner for now, and I would like to keep prisoners as far away from my core as possible.

I still feel like I’m not done yet and I make another family hallway like the two before but I only make three bedrooms at the end of each since I don’t know who will end up living there.

I feel like I am in a frenzy of improving things as I split plants that can be split and I move things around, I even made the pools of water in my medicinal garden more secluded.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

I have the itch that I am on the verge of breaking through some sort of barrier and I want to breakthrough it!

So I continue on to make another room, off of the private kitchen, this time it’s a private garden that I planted all the plants that are used for teas, snacks and desserts and I applied the greenhouse effect to it as I dubbed it the treat garden.

[Congratulations on leveling up your dungeon to level 3! You have some special rewards for completing special tasks before you leveled up!]

[You have unlocked the level 2 mana grass early for using mana grass to speed up the process of mutating your mundane animals into common dungeon monsters.

[You have acquired the number of monsters required of a level 1 dungeon, this will alleviate some of the penalties for not having dungeon monsters, but you have not met the monster quotas for the level 2 or 3 dungeon.

Please aim to meet your dungeon monster quotas as you level up as failing to do so can impact your survival chances negatively!]

[Expanding your dungeon can allow you to support your population of dungeon monsters and inhabitants, but it also increases your survival rate, please continue expanding and exploring your region as many new things can only become available to you as you find new resources.]

[Warning you are missing 2 required facilities, the breeder and monster spawner have not been placed yet! Enough resources are available for the breeder, please place it soon!

[You have obtained a special variety of ballroom, the creativity displayed has granted you additional traits in tandem with its creation! The ballroom effects have been expanded!

The Ballroom will provide inspiration and energy to your inhabitants! Fatigue will be reduced and skills related to the venue will be improved at a increased rate.

[The medicinal garden has been established!

The secluded sections that have been made to allow privacy can also be used to improve intimacy between inhabitants as well as fertility repair to those whose natural fertility is impaired.]

I am quite happy with the results as it seems that the penalty was lessened to an extent but it is still present to ensure that I will continue leveling up and encouraging me to obtain whatever I require to be successful as a dungeon.

I share the news with Luna as she wakes up from the bright lights that came from my core.

Luna, “You leveled up again! Oh wow, there’s quite a few useful things here! I’m sure everyone will be happy with the improvements that’s for sure!”

Luna gets dressed and she looks around before pointing out a corner of her room that’s not as occupied and she looks at my core as she speaks shyly.

Luna, “I think right over here will be a good place to setup your breeder, but if it’s not too much trouble I would like it if you made it so I can see your core because I want to see you when we really do it for the first time!”

I get excited about it but I remember that we have to let others know before placing it and I still feel like having it done after the coming dance will have the biggest impact on us both.

So unfortunately I resigned myself to opening up the space so that it will have a second doorway access to my core room in that space and I cleared the things that could be in the way, but rather than placing my breeder there I left it empty.

As Luna was about to ask me about it I put a stalagmite under her foot to tell her no I am not placing it yet.

Luna, “…….Oh! How could I have forgotten! We have to let everyone know about it first and come up with a plan just in case things get out of hand.”

Luna remembers our obligations and she runs off to gather everyone for the announcement’s. which as she gathered everyone I directed them to the entrances of the new ballroom, but preventing entry until Luna finishes gathering everyone.

I let her be the first person to enter as I secretly think of this as one of my gifts to her.

The reactions are priceless as there are many ooh’s and aah’s from everyone as they spread out in the spacious room looking at everything and listening to the water flows, even trying out the benches and tables was part of the examinations.

I think I can call it a success as some people start singing and dancing to music as they test out how the sound will travel through the room.

They are absolutely jubilant and it takes some time to calm them down for Luna to give them the rest of the announcements.

Luna, “Alright that was definitely a grand surprise for everyone, but there’s more news as the dungeon has recovered enough that it can now get its breeder so we need to decide what we plan on doing in regards to that.

That’s especially important since it has also just leveled up to a level three dungeon and it’s received another warning about it missing required facilities.

The dungeon still has some more repair needed to be done on its core to meet the requirements for the dungeons monster spawner but we already planned to get that last.

So what’s everyone’s thoughts on the matter and how should we proceed?”
