Dungeon update! Floor 352436523 has been completed!

Good!

Now I can start collecting something for all the hard work I put in. I wonder what I should ask for? Shiny things? That sounds so cliche. Maybe a tribute? Only the best of the best? Maybe a dance number of two hours length minimum? Wait... Maybe I should place some restrictions? I wouldn't want my place to be infested with too many locusts seeking riches and honor to always loiter around. I need some holidays too! Maybe around Sundays will be the best? Maybe too typical? Let's make it every four days of business days. I don't get what am saying but let's go with that. I think. 

Wait... I think I left the first hundred floors open... When did I leave it again? I can't remember. Oh... I got spooked by crawlies who stumbled upon when I woke up back then. I think I just started digging deeper and deeper and before I know it, I dug deep enough to bury a few mountains. Now that I think about it... Did I place anything between floors? 

I wouldn't be that of a ditz right? I think I left some critters here and there? Let me check. 

...

...

Searching... Complete!

I watched in horror as I read an army of zeroes on every floor. Did I dig that much without placing anything at all? I think somebody will call the dungeon police or maybe the world keepers if they knew I dug a giant pit of nothingness. 

They wouldn't right? 

In my defense, I got spooked by the crawlies back then. It's a natural action to hid... I mean to have a tactical retreat and comeback when stronger. Ahem... that's it. Now then, what should I do with the deep pit that I dug? 

It would be so much work if I do it alone so... help me out okay? The first floor should be easy right? Some kind of tutorial. Hah! that would be boring. How about a boss on a random floor and random inhabitants from a random floor? I think I have it here... Let me put this up. Oh, wait let me roll the dice first... can dice have that many sides as many as my floor? Ignore me. Let's just roll it. 

I saw two random spinners spinning so fast I can't even read numbers on them. I think it is for the boss and the creatures. I hope I won't get a giant fish and lions for a combo. That would not fit on a theme at all. Or maybe they will? Wait let's just focus on the randomizer first. I call it randomizer no poll for that ok?

Nopes... I ain't flexing at all. What in the world did I do to get that much? I didn't end the entire world right? Let me check on these notifications I kept on ignoring since I was preoccupied with digging.

Discovered...

Now that's a list. Who knew digging can give you so much. I bet those hardworking dungeons would be crying when they discover that discovering ancient things around them gives more dungeon points compared to luring adventurers and monsters inside them. Planning... Schemes... Digging beat them all! Hahaha

Now then... Since I put up the boss selections, let's see what creatures we can place from floor 271. 

Creatures

Name:  Unit size Potential (0-10) Cost Naga 0.85 1.4 3,457 Murderous RedCaps 0.42 0.9 1,874 Evil Foxes 1 1.4 4,000 Land Dragon 5 1.7 5,000 Water Dragon 5 1.7 5,000 Lava Dragon 5 1.7 5,000 Lightning Rabbits 0.2 .5 1,000

Note! Max 1 boss per floor, Max 30 unit size for the current floor. 

Ok. I think that explains something about floor 1 of the dungeon. There are no theme options so maybe it will come along when I try to shape things up? Now that I look at my masterpiece of a dungeon, it really is a literal endless pit. A big black hole without floor separations or ladder to the next floor. What in the world did I do? 

The world keepers won't come, right?

Iseli Kingdom

"My liege! The pit has stopped digging!"

"The small earthquakes have stopped!"

"The sales for migraine medicine has sharply declined!"

"It's the end of the world!"

"SHUT IT!" the king roared. 

Julius Iseli, the current king of Iseli Kingdom sat with a tired expression on his face. The dungeon or whatever that abnormality is called stopped digging and the small earthquakes due to it has also stopped. The kingdom is now facing a drastic change and citizens of this brave kingdom who dared to be so close to the dungeon. 

The dungeon itself is harmless in a way aside when thick-skulled adventurers or exploration teams dare to seek something from that endless pit. The dungeon just existing near the kingdom has given abundant mana for mages to improve fast and knights to be stronger compared to other knights in any kingdom. The dungeon itself gave off enticing mana which attracts anything near to come and try to challenge it. Countless fools have come but failed to return as no news was gathered through various exploration teams from various kingdoms, empires, countries sent for. The only thing everyone knows about the dungeon is that it's old and deep. 

The dungeon was discovered a few thousand years ago when small shaking of the ground started to become frequent. From the bizarre influx of mana started floating the air, some random villagers discovered a hole only the size of the dwarf entrance. Then inside were some fearsome ancient demons which feasted on the said village which fled after. Nobody actually paid attention to the dungeon since the horrifying massacre has started a huge witch hunt for those horrid demons. 

As time went by, the dungeon became deeper and deeper until some random animal fell to their deaths, some lost travelers fell, some monster thought of building a den for it. Until the dungeon started to be so deep it became not advisable to explore. People can be stubborn and went anyway and they were never seen again. Stories started to spread about a hungry dungeon which drops nothing but eats everything without giving back anything. It was hated as nothing can be harvested from it but takes anything its maw can chomp in. 

Julius sighed as he massaged his forehead due to a different kind migraine the kingdom has been accustomed to. 

"Calm the citizens! Recall the armies from the border and start fortifying our own walls." Julius said in a loud voice.

"We don't know what will happen with the dungeon now that it stop going deeper. We shall wait but we will be ready! The earthquake and the enticement have not beaten us for hundreds of years! This new phenomenon will not faze us!" Julius said in a way befitting of a king. 

"I never heard the king so passionate like this."

"Is he sick? I think I have some depressants hidden in my pocket."

"Why in the world would you carry that?"

"Advance thinking?"

The ministers were talking in a hushed tone but the king can still hear their murmurs. It made his eye twitch and somehow the word death sentence threatened to escape his lips. 

"Can you guys just relay my orders before heads start rolling?" Julius said in a cold tone. 

"Wow... now he's trying to act mean."

"Who gave the king the wrong medicine this morning?"

"I didn't put the stimulants in his medicine this morning..."

"Wait what did you say?"

"I told you... Advance thinking! We don't know what will happen. I have some for hangovers too. Some for insomnia... here for pain relieve."

"Are you some kind of medicine merchant or a minister?"

"Wait... I can't be both?"

What the F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Guards! Throw them all out! Tape their mouths shut! Anyone that utter a sound shall be beheaded!" Julius roared furiously as guards broke in and started the loudest one first then the rest of the ministers until no one was left in the throne room. 

"What in the world is everybody smoking?" Julius shakes his head. 

"Maids! My tea!" he shouted and a maid pushed through a cart with a teapot and a cup. 

"I need to calm down. Damn these ministers of mine," he said and shooed the maid away. 

"Ah shoot... I forgot to ask for the depressant from that weird lad. I'm way too excited about the dungeon." 

Nobody heard the murmur of an old king with a young heart. 

Maybe except the little girl hiding behind the curtains.
