[ The dungeon core has obtained the passive skill dungeon space]
Oh, a new passive skill that's nice considering how useful the other passive skill has been but still system I don't quite this new quest you gave me so can you elaborate?
[This quest is asking the host to activate the passive skill dungeon space and then remove the dungeon floor together with the dungeon core to an independent space which is created through the passive skill dungeon space and since dungeon space is a passive skill it cannot be deactivated once activated it will make sure that the dungeon doesn't end up affecting the real world]
Hmm does this mean that I will not be able to go to the real world once I activate the skill dungeon space I don't want that, hey system can I like not use the skill, please?
[No becau¢¥€Error¢¥^¢ππ phew finally reached you man it was tough anyways hello nice to meet you again Mr.anomaly I would have liked to chat with you more but I don't have much time as the administrator might find me anytime now so I will instead give you a gift and I know you have many questions but for now, just focus on growing the dungeon and becoming stronger be€¥€πError°dft¥¥¢¢÷]

Umm, what the hell just happened, did the system just crash or something, and just who was that other person from the way he spoke it's clear he has met me before is he the one who brought me to this world and what is this gift he gave me?
Fucking hell man I have so many questions but no one to answer them and the system which was the only thing that answered at least some of my questions also crashed. After this, I continued swearing in my mind to release some frustration before I finally calmed down a little.
Ok get it together Lucas just swearing and getting angry isn't gonna help me in this situation so first let's see if the status tab still works or not Status.

Huh, is this the gift that person was talking about? Did he change my status because previously there was no human beside the dungeon core in the race section of the status. Now there is a human written beside the dungeon core in the race section of the status tab and it also says that I can become a human by reaching level 50. Oh my god, I can't believe that there's still hope for me to be a human again.
Also, many other things have also changed such as the exp needed to reach the next level has halved and my skill now has levels and also the dungeon space skill became an active skill instead of a passive skill meaning I can turn it off in the future if I want to which means I won't' be trapped in the dungeon forever in the future.
There are new titles as well, so many things have changed. Let's first open the expanded form of the status to learn more about these new titles and changes.
[Status (restructured)
Name: N/A (lucas)
Race: dungeon core/human ( reach lvl 50 to unlock this form)
Level: 1(21/50)
HP: 100
MP: 50
Skills
Active:
Floor designation lvl max:
This skill allows the host to designate an area as the dungeon floor but because of the host being in possession of ######## system, the skill has now an additional effect of allowing the host to manifest part of a dungeon floor in the real world.
Monster creation lvl 1:
This skill allows the host to create monsters for their dungeon floors but due to the host being in possession of ######## system, the skill now has an additional effect of allowing the host to manifest some of their dungeon monsters in the real world. (current number limit: 10)
Terrain manipulation lvl 1:
This skill allows the host to manipulate the terrain of their dungeon floor to make their dungeon floor but due to being in possession of ######## system the skill now has an additional effect of allowing the host to manipulate the terrain around the host body and it also works in the real world. (current area limit: 5-meter radius from the host)
Plant creation lvl 1:
This skill allows the host to create plants for their dungeon floor to act as traps but due to the host being in possession of ######## system, the skill now has an additional effect of allowing the host to manifest some of their dungeon plants in the real world. (current number limit: 5)
Dungeon space lvl max:
This skill allows the host to create and maintain a separate space from reality where the dungeon can exist without affecting the real world but due to the host being in possession of ########system, the skill now has an additional effect of allowing the host to be able to create their own absolute laws in the dungeon space.
Passive :
Fire affinity lvl 1:
This skill allows the host to be able to use 1 mana as 3 fire mana but due to the host being in possession of ######## system the skill now has an additional effect of increasing the fire magic level of the host's human form.]
Hmm now, let's see it looks like all of my skills now have additional effects so let's see what they are one by one.
First the floor designation now actually allows me to bring a part of the dungeon floor to the real world even when the dungeon is in the dungeon space which I think I am gonna just try to always have the dungeon in the dungeon space because a part of me tells me something bad will happen otherwise.
So this skill is gonna be really useful when I have a human body again and go to the real world to protect myself if any danger befalls me in the real world.
Now let's see the other one's hmmm, I must say this gift which that mystery helper gave is very generous indeed because almost all my active skills are now able to be used in the real world if necessary even my passive can now help in the real world but the biggest one among them is no doubt the dungeon space skill to think it allows me to make my own absolute laws in the dungeon space isn't this basically making me a god.
Though it probably has its limits or it would really be too overpowered now let's see the titles.
[Titles:
The otherworlder:
This title is given to one who has traveled from another world to this world. It allows the holder to be able to understand, speak and write any language, even otherworldly languages.
The system outsider:
This title is given to one who has escaped the system and is no longer bound to it. It makes the holder immune to all forces and effects trying to control the host.
########'s apostle:
This title is given to one who has been chosen and blessed by ######## to be his apostle. It halves the exp needed to level up for the host.]
The otherworlder title is still the same but this new the ########'s apostle title must be what made the exp needed for the level up to be halved though I do wonder who this ######## is supposed to be as I can't see their name for some reason and I don't remember ever becoming an apostle for someone and in the first place what even is an apostle. After thinking about that question I waited a bit but no answer came.
Well, I guess this new system does not answer my questions but it was worth a try anyway this system outsider title really has a very ominous feeling to it, and looking at its benefits, was the system actually controlling me just thinking about it is super creepy.
Also now that I am noticing it, how is it that I am not panicking right now because the previous me would surely be going crazy at this point is it also something that the previous system did to me or is it something else.…ahh fucking hell man it's so annoying not getting any answers you know what let's forget about these questions and just activate the dungeon space skill already.
Dungeon space activate, as soon as I finished activating the skill a system message came from the new system.
[The host will now temporarily be in sleep mode to gain maximum efficiency in dungeon space creation so please do not resist the sleep mode.]
Seriously again, just why does everything I do require me to sleep? I am very tired mentally from so many new discoveries that I really need a break so might as well sleep. Then as I fell asleep the dungeon core situated in the new dungeon core room which was emitting faint white and red light also stopped glowing.
