Chapter 2 - Obligatory Tutorial

When I woke up again, I found myself looking at a wall again.

Starting to get bored of looking at walls why can't that God of Truck Driver drop me off at someplace nice like a graveyard or something.

So this is Mondo this world seems really cramped. After looking around the room that I presume to be my dungeon I found that this place is fucking small. This dungeon is a 10x10ft room with nothing in here but me and that orb in the middle of the room.

Rather than a room, I should call this place a cave with stalagmite on the ceiling and rocky uneven ground filling up the place. Looking closely at the orb since it's the only thing here other than rocks, it looks like a shiny black pearl with blood red lights inside of if that seems to pulsate like a heart. It is beautiful.

What is it anyway, when I try to touch it my hand pass through it. Now that I look at my hand and body it looks blue and transparent does that mean I'm a ghost? Neat. Ok, enough fooling around Dominus said that I have an assistant that'll explain to me the basic about the dungeon.

"Mr assistant where are you?" I yelled.

Hello, I am Menu 3.0 how can I be of service to you, Dungeon Master?

"You are a talking blue box, I was expecting a fairy."

That was Menu 2.0, they were replaced because of the annoying and happy go lucky attitude did not fit too much with dungeon which resulted in them getting eaten, killed and overall ignored by their dungeon master.

"Wow, that's dark. Anyway, I want to ask you some things about dungeons, What is a dungeon in this world?"

Dungeons are places that have accumulated mana for a long time, the mana in the area then condenses into a crystal, gem or orb. This crystal then will be able to control the mana in its area of influence to change the area terrain, create monsters and traps also treasure. Examples of places where dungeons might spawn: Monster Nest, High Mana Density Places, Where Dominus Find Interesting.

When I looked at the last sentence I don't know if I should laugh or cry that God is really irresponsible. Well not that it concerns me anyway. I just got make the best out of what I have. "What is the purpose of a dungeon?"

I don't know

"What do you mean you don't know? I thought you were supposed to know the basic about dungeons." 

Can you tell me the purpose of a human? The Dungeon God said that as long as you create an interesting dungeon I won't bother you. Do as you like. It is your dungeon create things that I can never imagine.

That guy can say good things when it counts maybe I should change my opinion of him from a giant asshole to a small asshole. "Ok then, so how do you build monsters, traps, and treasures?" I said getting motivated to make this dungeon.

Before you start making your dungeon you must first choose the starting monster for your dungeon. Here is the list of starting monster and their information.

Goblin

Goblin is small humanoid monsters with the strength and intelligence of a child.  They are very adaptive to their environment and reproduce like rabbits. Their downside is that they are treated as pests so when goblin dungeons are found they'll be subjugated regularly. 

"Goblins are too mainstream and boring. Next"

Kobold

Kobold is a bipedal monster with a lizard-like feature with the strength of an adult male. They have very sharp teeth and claw that can bite and tear through flesh. Their downside is that like goblins they are treated as pests so when kobold dungeons are found they'll be subjugated regularly, they also lack the adaptability and reproductive strength of goblins. 

"They are also plain and boring. Next"

Slime

Slime is a slimy blob of goo that binds together by a core. They are acidic, can survive in any environment and have high resistant to physical attack. Their downside is that they have low resistant to magical attack, easily killed in their early stages and needs a lot of mana and time before they are useful.

 "Nope, this isn't a novel I'll die in 5 minutes when people discover me if I choose slime as my starting monster. Next."

Mushroom

Mushroom is a monster and fungus at the same time it is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus. They are very diverse with many different species to choose from, small cost to create and maintain. Their downside is that they are fixed in their position, easily killed in their early stages and need time before they are useful.

"Don't pick this one"

"Menu did you hear a girl whisper don't pick this one?"

No.

"Ok then, since I believe in ghost and there are probably real ghosts in this world and she has warned not to picked this so I won't pick this one. Next"

Undead

Undead is a monster created by former beings who have died and become trapped between life and death. They are very diverse with many different species to choose from, can spread their virus to other beings. Their downside is that they have low intelligence, they are treated as evil by most intelligent species and they are hated by the Church of the Sun God and will be exterminated when an undead dungeon is found. 

I suggest you don't pick Undead because when we get discovered we will definitely get exterminated. Dungeon already has ...

Before Menu can even finish his sentence I already press Undead as my starting monster.

Congratulations you have chosen Undead as your starting monster.

Shit. We're screwed.
