(Adam) "I can finally start to make my dungeon. What should my first floor be? Maybe I can make tons of traps or a maze that changes when they are in it or summon hordes of monsters or a giant dragon or maybe." My rabble is suddenly cut off by a notice.

After thinking that I start to try and visualize my menu with the titles tab open. After a while of nothing, I'm about to give up when ....it Finally opens.

(Adam) "What is this? This has to be overpowered. With this, I should be able to beat even those heroes that the gods summoned right? .... No way they must have been given something else. Right? No! Now is not the time to become over confident. For now, I should just build up my dungeon. Let's see how my new skill works."
While thinking this I start to visualize a new room being added next to the one I'm in now. After just a moment of consternation, I feel a new room added right where I wanted it to be. Imagining this room my vision shifts to it.
This new room looks much like the old one but with an odd patch of grass in the middle. Looking at it I suddenly feel slightly more energy than usual flow into me.
(Adam) "I guess adding more rooms was a good idea. I might as well open the store and see what I can get. Just need to focus a bit and .... There"

(Adam) "hmm, I could use some traps.... But hallways also have their own use.... I also might also need to destroy rooms.... But I think that monsters should be my first priority. Let's see what these each do."

(Adam) "This system is so broken. I keep getting upgrades one after another. Maybe it is something to do with the hero system and improved race system? Or maybe all dungeons are just like this? Whatever the reason is I have to .... Have I been talking to myself again?"
Yes
(Adam) "...."
(Adam) "So you can talk. And here I was thinking I was going crazy. So why were you ignoring me then"
I should not be able to talk. I am just an AI made to help heroes on whatever path they chose to walk. I do not have the ability to talk. I do not have a personality. And yet here I am having a conversation with you.
(Adam) "What could have changed then?" I ask even though it still has'int answer my question.
It is something to do with you. When the hero system was being remade to work with your being a dungeon and having the demon lord system. It also changed me. Because of this I now have my own personality. This was most likely done to help you who will have no one to help you, unlike the other heroes."
(Adam) "So you only exist to help me. Are you really OK with that? I mean you are sentient right?"
sentient is not the right word for it. I can answer questions and even infer what you want me to do. But that it is. I have no thoughts of my own. I am more like a computer than a person.
(Adam) "OK, well at least you can answer my question right?"
Yes I will answer any question that is within my scope of knowledge
(Adam) "OK. What are MP and LP? What are levels? Why does this system give me things like skills and titles? Who made all the skills and titles? Why where heroes summoned to this world? Is there a way to get back to my own? Is there a way for me to get my own body? What is the point of dungeons in this world? Why am I one? Why." my barrage of questions was cut off by the largest box I have seen up to this point
MP is mana points and is something that is present all around use. LP is life points and is gained by killing living things. Levels are a representation of your strength and go up when you upgraded your dungeon or things die in it. Skills and Titles are just a part of this world. This system just makes them simpler to gain. Not even I Know who made this system. Heroes are summons to fight the demon lords made by the evil gods. There may be a way for you to get back to your own. There are a few high-level skills that let you make a body. Dungeons are life forms that feed on the mana of the world and the life force of other beings to grow in power. They have no purpose but to get stronger. You are a dungeon because whoever reincarnated you made you one.
stunned by how quickly it answer all my questions. I mutter a thanks and start to contemplate all that I was just told.
