Wait! I have a lot of questions!... hello?Dammit!
so... "summon dungeon assistant?" when I finished those words a flash of light and a magic pentagram appered in front of my and disspeared the next second, andin it′s place a fairy was, she was dressed in a black one piece dress that went to her knees, she stood a 1 foot 4 inches, pink hair and golden eyes decorated a fair face, along with a pair of fluttering rainbow colored butterfly wings on her back. She opened her eyes. floated in front of my and bowed softly.
"I′m your Dungeon assistant, use me as you seeappropriate"
"What can you do?" I asked, unsure on how to proceed.
"I have the "Knowledge" skill that grants me all the non-secret knowledge of this world along with basic functions of dungeon" her answer was short and simple, I like her already.
"right, so, what′s your name?" I′m still unsure of what to do
"I don′t have a name" her eyes were somewhat sullen with that statement
"Would... Would you like a Name?" I mean, Why not?
"Really" her eyes started sparkling and were full of hope? excitement?
"Okay... let′s see..."I have noting.
"..."
"..."
"how about... El?"
"El" she tasted the name a few times before, "I like it"
"El" I said getting back her attetion "what does your skill do"
"what would you like to know?"
"tell me about this world"
Whith a storyteller-like voice she began.
"This world is called Eulizie and it land mass consist of five continents. The larger one is called the "Holy Continent" and it′s inhabitants are only humans, every non-human in the continent is a slave or will be. The Churc of Humanity control all the continent and Eliora the Godess of humanity control the church" I think I understant what this church of humanity is all about, "The second continent is called "the catastrophe continent" because of the many powerful monster and dangerous enviroments along with a dense and toxic miasma of mana that is the reason most monster can′t leave the continent. The third continet was called "the Great Continent" because of the powerful Empire that was there. now, with the murder of the emperor, the continent is fractured in dozens of warring kingdoms. The continent we are in is the Continent Of Ecilia which was baptized by the elves who reside in the northen part of the continent, in thesoutheast part of the continent is the Nitreon empire and in the southwest part of the continent lies the Baros Kingdom. the smaller continent is surrounded by a thick fog and is called "The monster Continent" because 600 years ago several sentient monster species, under the guidance of legios God of monster, migrated to the continent and they have been sealed from the outside world ever since"
I see... What I′m suppose to do with this?! *sigh* calm down. deep breath, deep breath. let''s keep going. "what can you tell me about the continent of Ecillia?"
"The elves inhabit the Great Ecillian Forest which cover all the northen part of the continent with giant trees, the Baros Kingdom is an oligarchy were the king and his council care only about money; The Nitreon empire is a prosperous land with a strong military ruled by a 22 years old emperor who faces almost no oppositon to his rule." that strange.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
"Why is that"
"The Emperor Eldoran Nitroen Eldisius Russ in is youthfinally unified all the southeast territories, and his egalitarian policies enraged the chuch of humanity. manipulating the queen, who was an avid, follower they increased their influence, through the years, in the empire until they tried to make emperor a puppet as well. when that fail they kill him and tried again with the, then 14 years old, prince and future emperor Demian. That was a mistake, With the help of the 3 most trusted generals of his father, he burned all chuches of humanity, killed is own mother and did the heads of all the useless nobles roll, even those who supported him. he strengthened the military of the empire, declare the church of humanity as an enemy of the state and gave titles of nobillity to those with skill. and he posess a firm grip on his empire ever since."
"What about the gods of this world?" I Know what this Eliora is about, she''s a human supremacist that obtain her power through worship only and since she has a whole Continent that shorship her she''s pretty strong and probably is the "She" that my own godess mention, but there are other gods that should be more friendly.
My thoughts about Eliora aside "The two more powerful gods are Eliora through quantity and Ezreal Through power." that''s unexpected but perphaps... "as the godess in charge of creating dungeons and by extension dealing with the rampant mana over the world, she posses a lot of power , both personally and over other gods."
"The other gods woul simply be: Artinia godess of nature. Medoli godess of love, Atlas god of order, Karatos god of blood, war and vengeance and Maleth god of dead."
"would you like to know something more?" She seems eager to be of assistance but perphaps that is because she was created that way
I need those gifts that Ezreal mention and start to make my dungeon soon or else I won''t finish anything.
"Let''s see... status"

I checked all options and let me tell you that they are garbage, as simply as that. well perhaps the confusion trap is useful but other than that there isn''t much noteworthy.
The gifts on the other hand:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Loyalty: All your monster will be blindly loyal to you making them impossible to tame and immune to certain status effects.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Monster encyclopedia: a list of all the monster of this world so you can make them as long as you have enough mana.</td>

''Hello me'' ''hello other me, what what do you think of our godess gifts?'' ''they are magnificent! I tell you'' ''indeed!''
<div>
but I''m afraid there is no time to lose talking to myself. I need to focus and using both my minds those make it easier to feel the mana. it''s like moving through water or perhaps mud and triyng to change the dungeon it''s like molding clay, if you ignore the fact that it dissapears when you want it to and leave an aftertaste of rock and dirt on your non-existence mouth.
The "lobby" was a 20x20 meter square with three corridors on the far wall, 2 on the corners and 1 in the Middle, this corridors led to another 20x20 meters room that are connected to other corridors that are once again conected to 20x20 meters rooms. there are 9 rooms in total formed in rows of 3 and to get to the second floor trough the corridor on farthest wall of the any of the farthest rooms. now, this wouldn''t be confusing if not for the confusion trap, it powerful enough to make people lost their way and some other minor nuisances. the monsters I choose are undead skeletons, I just felt compelled to choose them for some reason. not really something to worry about.
A extrange jolt stop me summoning them though. I soon discovered that my mana per minute has all most triplicate.
