Chapter 4: The absolute law for the first floor. (Edited)

Chapter 4: The grand opening of the dungeon.

In an unknown dungeon the dungeon core which was sleeping started waking up after an unknown period of time.

***

Lucas pov.

Man, I would never be able to get used to this because it's so fucking weird it's like sleeping but not sleeping at the same time it's so difficult to even explain it in words.

Anyway, let's look at the system messages and see what changed after coming to the dungeon space.

[The dungeon space has now been successfully created and is completely stable]

[Ding, it has been detected that the host has an additional effect on the dungeon space. Would you like to use the additional effect of the dungeon space?

Yes or no]

Oh hell yeah that's exactly what I want to try out first and foremost.

[Please choose any one of the absolute laws to apply to the 1st dungeon floor]

[Absolute laws allowed for the first dungeon floor:

Restricted area specification

All-seeing eyes bestowal

Increase the number limitation of the gateway passage

Challenge creation]

Hmm, System can you show me the details of these absolute laws?

[Query received expanding absolute laws list]

[Absolute laws allowed for the first dungeon floor (expanded).

Restricted area specification:

This absolute law allows the user to be able to specify an area as a restricted zone which will make it inaccessible to everyone.

All-seeing eyes bestowal:

This absolute law allows the user to be able to bestow the all-seeing eyes to all living beings on the dungeon floor allowing them to be able to see the level of each other living beings.

Increase the number limitation of the gateway passage:

This absolute law allows the user to increase the number limitation of the gateway passage which allows the living beings of the real world to challenge the dungeon and should they win they receive rewards by the ####### system essentially lowering the number of people who enter the dungeon at a time.

challenge creation:

This absolute law allows the user to create a unique challenge of their own to add to the dungeon floor and unless the challenge is completed one cannot pass the floor. Choice is only available on a few floors.]

Stolen story; please report.

Hmm, they are all quite good, especially the third absolute law which would be really helpful but I think I am gonna choose the fourth absolute law because it will be able to increase the time needed to clear the dungeon floor but also because only a few floors have this option and I don't know which floors have them so let's just turn the first floor into a challenge floor to be safe.

System I choose the challenge creation absolute law.

[Ding, the fourth absolute law has now been set as the first floors absolute law]

[Please start setting the challenge of the first floor by choosing a challenge type]

[Challenge type options:

Fetch type

Riddle type

hunt type]

Mmm, let's see I think I'm gonna go with the fetch type.

[The fetch type has been chosen as the challenge type please specify what to fetch and where to fetch it from also the challenge needs to be doable for it to count]

Now let's start first the fetch will be a very slippery stone orb which will be on a small stone pillar in the middle of the lava river where the challengers will have to go by jumping from one stepping stone to the other while dodging the attacks of the lava eels.

Oh yeah, also the stone orb must not be damaged to pass the challenge.

[The fetch challenge has been successfully designated as the first-floor challenge]

[Ding, it has been detected that the dungeon has now successfully created the first floor so the passage collapsing has been initiated. Time till opening: 1 day]

[Please be prepared to welcome the challengers to the dungeon.]

Wait system what is this passage collapsing thing which this message is talking about can you elaborate?

[Query received answering]

[Passage collapsing is the process of connecting a dungeon to the real world by the use of gateways which are made by puncturing a hole through the dimensions and then stabilising the hole with the natural mana and spacial energy of the part of the real world where the hole connects to from the dungeon when this happens a huge vortex will be formed above the gateway serving as the herald of the creation of a new dungeon.]

So everyone in the real world will know where I am from the beginning. I thought that I would be able to relax for a while until someone found me but it looks like that's not gonna happen.

Man, tomorrow is gonna be a big day. I can't wait for my first encounter with other people even if they don't know I am actually a human. It doesn't matter because I will at least not be alone anymore.

About the part of the real world where the dungeon gateway will connect to.

It is in the world of Arcania where magic is the essence of everything there. Even the normal citizens know the most basic magic and the strongest class there is [Arcane sword saint] which only the hero has.

This world of Arcania is split between six realms which are:

The elven realm known as Elfenhain is also known as The Forest of beginning.

The human realm known as Magitopia is also known as the holy land of magic development.

The beastmen realm known as Asteria is also known as the holy land of warriors.

The dragon realm known as Dragonia is also known as the holy land of ancient and primordial magic.

The elemental realm known as Crystalia is also known as the holy land of summoners.

The undead realm known as Necrotica is also known as the holy land of necromancers.

And outside of these six realms lies the chaotic lands of Destria the ruler of chaos.

As for the place lucas's dungeon will connect to is the elemental realm of Crystalia specifically the southern earth elemental domain which is one of the five elemental domains which make up Crystalia which are the northern wind domain, the eastern water domain, the western fire domain and at last but not the least the central balance domain.

And our Lucas's dungeon will be opening in the southern earth domain ruled by the spirit king of earth Ragnarock.

And even more specifically a newly built town named Ashfall near the volcanic area of the western region

Ok, that's it for the info dump you needed to understand more about the background of the story.
