When I woke up, the ant larvae were already full grown. I then task them to go out and accumulate things instead of the male ant. Not long after they start to drop things onto the floor. I skipped time again and a row of notifications is in front of me.
<Due to enough absorption of sand, the dungeon can now create sand>
<Sand: 1 P per square meter>
<A new creature was absorbed, Earthworm. The dungeon can now create an earthworm.>
<Earth worm: 5 P>
Since I now have 5 P to use and will receive another 2 P in a few hours. I considered creating an earthworm. Same as an ant, no need to summon in a pair. It can both reproduce by itself or sexually with another one. So I create one in another corner of the room, preventing it from being killed by the ant army.
My point goes down to 0 as a figure emerge from the ground, an earthworm. I assign it to live and reproduce in a dungeon while protecting itself from the ants. Then I again time-skipping directly to another day.
Since I didn’t abort the task I give to the ants and ant queen, as soon as I stopped, the notifications appear.
<Due to a diversity of grass absorbed, grass option now create various species of grass>
<The pre-existing grass will start to apply a change immediately>
<Ants population reaches a certain point, unlock an upgrade options!>
Finally, things to make this look like a dungeon. I open an upgrade option and it was a list of all the ''create'' options in my dungeon, including non-living things.
<Dungeon Floor> <Floor Surface>
<Ants> <Earthworm> <Grass> <Sand>
Though an ant is an important one, because it is, I decide to choose another. I choose a grass option.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
A 3D model of various grasses appeared to me. From the leaf-only one, the one with a fluffy thing on its stalk, even one with a flower on it.
I spent quite some time on a list, ending up choosing the one with a flower on it. When I pick it, another message appears.
<Decide an upgrade, the price will be determined up to the decision.>
It means it is up to my imagination.
I only want this type of grass to have nectar in it, attracting ants to come and help it pollinate while also having a good meal. This way I supposed it would help the ants and itself grow across the dungeon.
<Require 2 P, Do you want to proceed?>
Since the appearance itself doesn’t really change, the price wasn’t high. I select a ‘Yes’ and goes time-skipped until noon.
When I again, conscious, I saw a horrifying scene. My dungeon just turns into a swamp. It must be raining heavily while I was asleep. The water was about one or two centimeters high, doesn’t sound scary but I was worried about my ants.
Looking around for a while, I spotted it, I see a bunch of ants creating a lifeboat for their queen. I don’t need to be worried about the earthworms, it can survive in this environment easily. Up to this point, a row of notifications appear.
<A new creature was absorbed, Millipede. The dungeon can now create a millipede.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Centipede. The dungeon can now create a centipede.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Beetle. The dungeon can now create a beetle.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Bee. The dungeon can now create a bee.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Ladybug. The dungeon can now create a lady bug.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Spider. The dungeon can now create a spider.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Mayfly. The dungeon can now create a mayfly.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Fly. The dungeon can now create a fly.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Moss. The dungeon can now create a moss.>
<A new creature was absorbed, Fern. The dungeon can now create a fern.>
<A lot of element ‘water’ was inside the dungeon now. Do you want to absorb it?>
After a row of notifications I got, a question also appears. I wonder, what’s the difference between absorbing this and the other things?
<Absorbing an element may result in a permanent change to the dungeon.>
<A change can be controlled by a dungeon to some degree.>
After I got my answer, I didn’t think too much and select ‘Yes’. The water level rapidly dropped and a notification appears.
<Due to Water element absorption, The dungeon will now have higher humidity.>
<Due to higher humidity, moss and fern option will spread through the dungeon faster than normal.>
Needless to say, since it will only cost me a P each, I will definitely buy it tomorrow.
Before I time-skipped to tomorrow, I give a check on my dungeon. The ants did dying some but most of it survives. The earthworms that now have two of them survive easily. The dungeon wall and tunnel misshaped a bit due to the flood but the structure is still strong enough to support the whole tunnel.
Now sure that everything was fine, I go for another sleep again.
