"So Mike, he'll be back right?" I asked concerned.
Of course, he'll be back in 1 hour.
"That explosion was terrifying."

"Mike, what am I looking at here?"
Sorry, I forgot to mention about dungeon theme because of the explosion. Dungeon theme basically scanned your floor to determine the theme of your floor and then added animals, plants, traps, loot, and monsters that can help improve your dungeon like building an ecosystem.
"So that means I can increase my mana regeneration from two to seven?"
Not exactly. Did you remember when you expanded your forest room? Your mana regeneration didn't increase from two to three. That's because instead of your rooms, the system looks at your layout. You currently have 3 different types of layout for your rooms excluding the core room layout. They are cave layout, forest layout, and desert layout.
"I can probably guess how I got cave layout and forest layout, but when did I get the desert layout?"
You got the desert layout after you absorbed the fire crystal, ice crystal, and sand from the pond. Since you never used a premade layout for your room, I didn't show that you've acquired the desert room. I am sorry.
"You don't have to apologize, Mike, I like creating the dungeon myself rather than using a premade layout. Now that I saw the desert layout combine with the new information about dungeon theme, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to make the second floor. Let's take a look at the stuff we're getting from the dungeon theme."

"I guess it's time to make an ecosystem for the cave layout."
That would be great but you don't have enough mana for it. You currently have 2 mana and you need around 20 mana to create a cave layout. So you need more mana.
"That seems easy enough. Just kill a wolf pack, that should be enough to cover the mana cost. Wow, I just said killing a wolf pack like it's nothing am I turning into a psychopath?"
No, you're not a psychopath.
"Thanks, Mike."
You didn't let me finish, you're not a psychopath, you're a sociopath.
"Gee thanks, Mike."
You're welcome.
"I was being sarcastic."
So was I. But on a serious note Adam, you're a dungeon now so your values and beliefs might be different than when you were a human.
"I guess you're right, but that's easier said than done. Let's not think about it too much. It's time to kill a wolf pack."
I sent a zombie squad to search for a wolf pack, it took an hour before they able to find and kill one. After the hunt, I had 26 mana to spend, enough to make an ecosystem for the cave layout. I used the mana to make plants because other than dead trees there wasn't any vegetation in my cave layout. I placed moss and mushrooms inside the graveyard and mine room. I also added copper and zinc to the mine room. I didn't forget to add insects and reptiles inside every room. Dozens of reptiles and insects began appearing inside every room, they began to walk, crawl, fly, hop, and slither away. Last but not least I purchased the raccoons and the blue jays because they seem like a good pair.
After finishing my work I looked at my status.

I finally have three mana regeneration, only one mana left I really am cutting it close. Tomorrow I should start making my second floor, I have a crazy idea for it. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
