    Good!


    Now I canstart 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.

    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 abouta 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?

    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

    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 toa 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 soundshall 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.

 Chapter 2: Random! All Random!

    So... I think it would be boring to personally give a touch to every floor. I have like... Ok, don''t remind me of the long list of floors to be done and pick something to put in there. I will just use a randomizer on which floors I will personally edit and leave the rest to randomizer as always. I like its name.


    First floor huh? I feel like I heard that somewhere but with a different context. What am I even talking about? Anyway, let''s stay on the first floor. So visitors won''t say I''m lazy. Not that they are wrong but nobody likes being called lazy.


    FIRST FLOOR! FOCUS!


    Since it''s the first floor, or maybe the face of the dungeon itself not that it got the face with its bottomless pit style. First, the boss''s room! Always start with the boss''s room! That''s rule number 1! Shall we get a high potential boss with an average level or just take the highest level boss and smack everybody with my bragging rights? Tough choice...


    Hmmm...


    hmm...


    Okay, let''s place a unique Dragon.


    Nah! So cliche, so obvious! Let''s just place Gia for now. It would scare the crap out of somebody when they see an actual moving god. Or is she one? I''m not sure but let''s see. It would be hilarious to see somebody prostrating inside a dungeon when they see the boss looks like the one they revere.


    Wait... Let me just shape up the boss''s room first. I got excited over summoning a boss for the first time.


    Hmmm... Ok... A little flower there and lots of grass should do it. Then little critters? Are they free? Ok then. Should it have a lake? A huge figure of a woman would be matching with a lake. She would be made of soil right? Oh? She was born from earth and wood? That''s kinda cool. Let''s give her a fishing pole so she won''t get bored. Right. Let''s do that.


    Will fishing be fun? Spend long hours of sitting waiting for something to bite... Well... I''m curious about how Gia would spend her time in the boss room. Let''s give her a pole the size a human will use to troll her.


    Ok... First summoning! Shall I scream for it? Wait... How do I summon? Think about it? Press on the menu? Let''s try thinking about it first to see if it will work. It would be cool.


    HNNNNnngggggg......


    This is kinda hard... and possibly not working. Ok, I should just press the menu. And... Boop.

That helped a lot. Before that, what''s Gia''s stats? I hope she doesn''t suck too much with a potential of 2 points.

    Well, ain''t you scary...


    I feel like I''m cheating. Ok, maybe cheating a lot with a boss like this. I thought it would be fun but somehow this feels like an end game boss for an arc of a novel. Speaking of novels, I should make it a rare drop since it''s rare to find a good novel.


    Well, we can''t erase her anyhow... I should just deal with what''s gonna come later. I bet there won''t be many since she''s kind of turned into a statue near the lake for now.


    Wait! your fishing pole!


    Shoot! Talk about lack of respect! Hmph!


    I will make her fish, no, make her addicted to fishing soon! Give me time!


    Now, for the more important part, the creatures. Should I just buy dragons and fill in random areas or mix it up? Buying all dragons until max sounds lazy so let''s not do that. Just half of the size so we''re just half lazy.


    And... Poof!


    Two land dragons and one water and lava. Wait... why did I pick lava? Building volcanoes sounds a hassle... I wonder if I can just purchase a custom set up for a lava dragon. Let me check.


    hmmm... uh huh... Not here... Wait? I can build a fortress? That sounds freaking amazing! Let''s build four fortresses for each and fill it with lightning rabbits! It will be like G of thrones! Holy guacamole! So that''s our theme for the first floor! War! War! War!


    Ok, let''s get to it! The biggest of the fortress! Bought! The grandest of Gates! How about crests? Should I make one? Nah, let''s stop before we get sued.


    It''s rabbit time! 500 for you! 500! 500! 500!


    Gahahaha this is so much fun. Wait where are they? Oh... they are lightning.


    I didn''t see the rabbits much but I know they are in their respective castles. Now let''s suite the dragons their fortress before they start complaining. I hate complaints.


    A fortress in the middle of a huge lake, a fortress surrounded by gushing magma and two fortresses surrounded by sharp rocks along the edges. Right... let''s change it up so it won''t look that I bought it twice.


    Some decorations there, some greens here... Ahhh I have so much work to do just the first floor. I should just let randomizer do the work with floor 2. For now... Let''s make it a little more comfortable for the challengers.


    Just a little.


    Iseli Kingdom(Isera is a typo. Which I should probably correct after publishing this.)


    Minnie Iseli was the only daughter of the current king. With four brothers and no more sisters, Minnie loves to play like the boys. She likes horse riding, swordsmanship, and guitar. It seems weird for a girl but everyone else already accepted that the princess doesn''t like dancing and sewing which normally being taught by nobles to their daughters. Well... she also has a gift of acting like a stone.


    The king just left the throne room and the little girl finally pokes her head out of the curtains. Her smile would enchant any being with how pure it is and the glint of mischievous eyes would make anyone know she''s trouble.


    "The dungeon stopped?" the little princess said. "No wonder!"


    "I wonder if I can get epic swords there?" she mused. "How about some gold and silvers?"


    Minnie ran out of the room giggling while fantasizing the things the dungeon can offer. She learned about dungeons from her teachers and she always asks why their dungeon doesn''t give epic loots. She always wonders why those teachers always gave her a wry smile while saying she will know it when she grows older.


    "I should ask the second brother to go with me! He is powerful and can command the soldiers better than me so I think Daddy won''t nag about it too much."


    "Or maybe third brother? The last letter from him, he said he finally got S level from the adventurer''s guild. Maybe it will be more fun with fewer people around?"


    "I should ask Fourth brother! He cooks well and it will be more enjoyable if we can have amazing meals!"


    "But First brother will be gloomy if I don''t bring him with me... He knows politics and running the kingdom..." she paused as she seems thinking hard. "Yeah, he''s useless for adventures."


    "I can''t bring two of them since Daddy won''t allow it. First brother is a no go... Second is having his daily training with the soldiers and he won''t be back so soon. I don''t know where third brother is with his wanderlust. Fourth brother is with the royal chefs and buried with spices and cookbooks."


    "Why is everybody busy or not available?" Minnie''s face turned sour in annoyance and kicked the poor table along the halls.


    "I''ll get grounded if I leave alone and that would be dangerous too. Does Minnie behave for the time being?" the girl asked herself in wonder as if she can''t believe what she''s asking.


    "How about Daddy accompany you?"


    A voice sounded behind her.


    "MOMMY GHOST!!!!!" Minnie screamed.


    In a luxurious room, a stack of documents was piled neatly. A dashing young man in his mid 20''s is going through the papers for laws, some charity authorization, permits, and some more diplomatic trades.


    Out of nowhere, the young man sneezed.


    "I feel like somebody is belittling me." The man shrugged. "I should finish this off and play with Minnie."


    He sneezed again.


    "I swear I''m gonna send them to the dungeon!"
