"Time to wake up"
"Ok, good morning Kara"
"Good morning John, what's on the agenda today"
"Just buying the third floor that's all I have the mana for"
"Kinda boring huh?"
"A little but it gives me time to think of what I want to do with it."
"Well have fun with that then"
"I'll try"
(Floor)
-3rd Floor
Cost- 2000 Mana
He purchased the floor and waited.
He was waiting to see if he would get another reward but no dice.
Then he spent a while thinking about the third floor before an idea came to mind.
"That will work" he muddled aloud
After that, he slept until the next day.
He started by making another spiral staircase off the boss room and he carved a large opening and added a marble arch In the opening then after that, he made a circular room that was as large as possible before he hit the floor limit which was about double the space of the second floor and three times that of the first floor.
Right in the center of the circle, he made the boss room.
After sleeping till the next day he got back to work.
Inside the boss room, he put down a level 4 alpha ash wolf and just as he was about to start modifying a pulse of mana shot through the dungeon.

(Elites)
Specially named monsters that are stronger than their kin and with faster growth.
Number of elites= Number of floors
"Kara What happened"
Kara quickly floated over with a smile, "Congratulations"
"Congratulations?"
"It's your first monster evolution"
"That's Great!"
After that, he looked for the newly evolved creature and found it In the second-floor barracks.
It looked like a bipedal alligator but hunched over with fiery red scales and dark orange eyes, some of its skin looked loose along with pieces of exposed bone specifically on its hands and it's completely exposed jaws.
It has a necklace of gourds around its neck.
(Blightjaw)
Job- Blighter
Tier- 2
Level- 1
As he thought about how it evolved so quickly more info popped up.
(Blighter)
This lizardman was a shaman before ambition for power caused it to consume the sprites it made pacts with bringing out more dark and bestial aspects of its species.
"Wow, that's fun"
Kara seemed excited, "This is great we're already ahead of the curve"
"What do you mean"
"It should still be a few days before your first evolution, this is super lucky"
"That's great!"
"Indeed"
"So how do I make an elite monster"
"Just name the creature out loud while focusing on it and the system should do the rest"
"Ok"
After thinking hard he couldn't think of a good name so he asked Kara, "Any name ideas?"
She thought for a second and said, "spots, red, jaws-"
"Really?"
"What?"
"No offense but those names suck"
"I take offense to that"
"Hmm"
She seemed to get an idea, "She ate these sprites she made a pact with right?"
"Yes"
"So she's pretty crazy?"
"I would think so"
"So how about Psyche"
"Hmm, actually I like it"
"Of course I thought of it"
He ignored before saying "Psyche"
A burst of mana went through the dungeon and drained almost all of his mana before stopping.
The blightjaw grew bigger and at full length would be about 20 feet long from tail tip to the end of her jaw.
"Hello all-mighty creator"
"Hello Psyche"
"Thank you, creator, for the gift of intelligence"
"Intelligence?"
"Yes by giving me a name you made be able to truly think so thank you"
"Well, you're welcome then, continue on about your day"
"Of course creator"
With that, she walked away back into the barracks.
As she walked away he pulled up her information.
(Psyche The Collector)
Species- Elite Blightjaw
Tier- 2
Level- 1
Psyche collects fire sprites in her gourds to be used in her dark rituals.
Well that's ominous he thought to himself
"Well I guess there go today's plans of working on the third floor"
"I guess so"
"Well back to sleep then"
"Indeed"
Sleep~~~
After waking up he went back to the boss room.
"I guess it's time to try what I planned on doing yesterday"
"What's the plan?"
"You'll see"
He used his mana and molded the ash wolf slowly.
He started to mold it into a bipedal form and over the course of hours he molded most of its body into a humanoid shape except for the head which he left as a wolf head, he shaped the hands into more human-like hands but left the feet as paws and he was able to add more mass to the creature and just as he was going to start the process of making the creature into a boss a notification from the system popped up.

(Ash Wolftaur)
Job- Guardian
Level- 2
He could now spawn more of them.
He took his original one and made it bigger, double the size of a regular Wolftaur then he molded the second set of arms. To finish it off he looked through the shop for the finishing touch.
(Other)
-Weapon Making
Create weapons out of mana for your monsters to wield.
Cost- 300 DP
He purchased weapon-making and his head was filled with knowledge about weapons and their make up.
He then crafted two battle axes out of mana for the boss. (He uses both right arms for one ax and both left for one).
He gave the two axes to the newly minted boss.
(Asterion guardian of the labyrinth)
Job- Floor Boss
Tier- 2
Level- 1
(Asterion is the name of the minotaur from Greek myth)
Tier 2? He thought surprised
"Hey Kara how can this boss be tier 2"
"Well boss monsters are stagnant so they can't evolve or advance so instead they can be molded to a higher tier than the species they were molded from, how strong they are, depends on the floor they are on"
"Why does the floor matter"
"Well the deeper into the planet the floor, the denser the ambient mana on that floor is"
"Why?"
"Well the core Is the source of the planet's mana"
"Well good to know"
Then he made the entrance to the boss room a set of large metal doors with the engraving of the boss on them and the two axes are the door handles.
Next, he started to fill in the rest of the floor with a Labrinth. He filled the floor with various traps including the special boulder trap from the last floor and the lava pit from the secret tunnel.
He also added small tunnels just large enough for ash wolves and let some loose on the floor.
He made in a part of the labyrinth another lizardman barracks and connected it to the second-floor barracks. He went back to the first floor adding a few more high-level lizardmen along with many steel swords for the warriors to use.
He finally filled the halls of the labyrinth with basic ash wolftaurs. He added small watering holes for intruders to drink from. The whole process took 3 days worth of mana and in the process, the lizard man chief evolved.
(Alligator man)
Job- Chief
Tier- 2
Level- 1
"Hmm, hey Kara"
"Yes"
"If two tier 2 alligator people have babies will it be tier 2?"
"Good question, but no the baby will be a tier 1 alligator man, this means it will have more potential but won't evolve at tier 2 just get a bit stronger"
Kara let it set in for a second before continuing, "This makes getting to tier 2 easier for the later generations but as the evolution gets higher, fertility will drop and the time for the babies to be born or hatched will be longer.
"Oh ok"
After the explanation, he went back and spawned a couple more alligator men and blightjaws in the labyrinth barracks.
This was the last of the day's mana but it also seemed to be the end of the third floor.
He went to sleep and when he woke he knew what he wanted to use the day's mana.
He went to the second floor and made a hidden tunnel hidden by the lava at the end of the hallway off to the side and at the end of the tunnel a small room with the floor covered in lava.
Inside of this floor, he summoned a lava golem.
He focused on the golem and said, "Prometheus"
(Prometheus Guardian of the flows)
Species- Lava Golem
Job- Guardian
Tier- 1
Level- 2
Prometheus lurks beneath the surface of the lava ready to ambush foolish adventurers.
"Hello great creator"
"Hello Prometheus"
He bowed before saying, "May I take my leave creator"
"Of course"
With that, Prometheus went underneath the lava.
He went back to Kara before saying, "Now we wait"
"See you tomorrow"
"Actually could you wake me up two days from now"
"Sure"
"Thanks, your the best"
"I know"
With that, he went into a deep sleep.
