CHAPTER EIGHT
About Twenty Hours Later
JESSIE’S POV
Within the last twenty hours, ten more spiders have tried getting in. at least I know that my new trap works. James prettied up my corridor to the surface once I had finished my new trap, so I have that going for me. Seeing as my mana pool is full again I head over to the center room, no longer needing to watch the entrance, and wow, James has done well. The room has been dug out quite a bit more. At this point, he has done most of the room, with only about forty square meters of space left to go. I head over to the right side of the room and dig out a two-meter-long corridor, taking twenty mana. To make the room I want to make, I’m going to need seven-hundred and fifty mana for the room itself. That’s gonna take a while. I might as well get started. I only manage to clear one square meter before realizing, I should have a level up. Looking at my stat screen, I am level three. Did I miss the message?
Level Up
You reached level Three. Congratulations
Rewards:
* 5 Stat points

Oh… nope, there it is I guess it was delayed. I pop all five points into intelligence, bringing my mana regen up to seven per hour now. No new materials or anything this time. Kinda sad but it makes sense. I technically have access to get them myself, but I also don't due to lacking any form of creature. Hmm… That brings up a question. What types of creatures could I get to collect things and would they be able to leave. I guess I’ll find out some other time. I go back and dig my room back four more meters, and out to the sides by another meter. Of course, due to lack of mana, one side isn't as dug out as the other. Oh well.

A spider showed up, but this time it was running from something. It gets into the dungeon, and as it falls into the little water trap, a fox walks cautiously into the dungeon. IT'S SO CUTE!! I watch it as it slowly wanders through the entrance way. It reaches the water trap and looks at the drowning hole as if it could tell that the tarantula just died in there. It continues forward. I really hope it can trigger the pitfall at the very least. Not because I want it dead, but because I want to keep it away from the core. It slowly wanders onto the swinging blade trap… And triggers it! “Yes!” I exclaim as it jumps back in shock from the blade suddenly slicing right by its neck. Of course, jumping causes it to get nicked by the blade. It shakes away it’s shock and continues down the corridor. It comes across the first of the two pitfall traps, walks onto it, and subsequently falls to its death at the spikes I mentally gag as the message comes up for defeating my first fox.
Congratulations
You defeated a Rainy Fox You gain;
* 50xp
* 25MP

“Woot!” I exclaim as I go to spawn one. Only to find out that my fox friend is going to cost two times the mana than I got for defeating this one. That really ruins the mood. I mentally pout as I start waiting for more mana. To get the little guy, I would need to wait another couple of hours. Doesn't sound fun.
