《dungeon alive》


 (prologue)

    Walking into the store a solemn Matthew hands the clerk his lottery ticket to be scanned.


    Looking up the lady says that he won and goes on the computer to check how much.


    Matt isn''t impressed he wins a lot, usually about 20 bucks.


    Hearing shoes walking toward him Matt looks up from his lap and forces a smile.


    clerk>"Sir what is your name"


    Matt> Matthew


    Clerk> well Matthew it seems that you have won $18.6 million"


    Looking up straight faced he only nods.


    Walking up to the till he gets the card for the lottery office and smiles politely before walking out. Once around a corner he flips out. Completely. Jumping up and down like a child Matthew takes off running in the general direction of the Lottery office

    Opening the door he walked in smiling and walking up to the the old secretary.


    Matt> hi who do I speak to if I won?"


    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.Looking up the lady just smiled and said that she would call up someone to take care of him.


    Several hours later he walked out with a smile on his face. First day in three years he had smiled. Simply put because he was depressed since his family died in about the oddest way ever.


    Family reunion was his with a falling plain everyone died he was all the was left of his family.

    It took three weeks of searching the web with odd searches  before he found something worth spending money on. a new life in a different world. One filled with magic and monsters and and warriors. He was getting transported into complete tomorrow. It was a virtual world where depending on what you choose you can keep or lose your memories or retain certain ones or vice versa.


    Tomorrow he was being reborn inside of Valensia.

 chapter 02

    Laying down Matthew felt the straps get tighter and felt the poke of the needle as it broke his skin and put him under. Before the needles drove into his brain transferring his mind and most of his memories into the new world.


    ?

    Looking around Matt noticed a totally white room made out of clouds and when he looked down there was nothing there. Throwing his hands in the air (A/N or at least trying) and yelling for help. After a moment a voice appeared and gently explained that it was there to help him pick a race and a start point. The normal races each cost 1m, he had 19m. They were as follows


    Human


    Elf


    Dwarf


    Then the specialty races were slightly stronger and 3m


    Beast man


    Giant (just slightly bigger human)


    Half breed (half human half monster)


    Then there was the other category that no one seemed to even look at as the button to look at them was small


    They went as followed


    Tiger 0.4m


    Horse 0.42m


    Wolf 0.4m


    Sword 0.25 m


    Ship 1.2m


    They were all weird and under powered in some attributes. But the one that caught his attention was the very bottom one


    Dungeon 10m


    They were out of this world expensive. The extra millions could be used to gain money for all of the other races but when looking at the race description he noticed that extra money left over after got changed to mp at a exchange rate similar to the money.


    It also said that there was three variations of dungeons


    Stationary(leeching) they supplemented the mp they gained from killing humans with some from the area around them. Cannot move.


    Teleporting dungeon


    They can move all over the place and Are smarter than stationary dungeons. They also start off with the ability to attack other dungeons and take them over and steal the dungeon heart, absorb the floors and basically gain everything the other dungeon had so long as the monsters the at taker sent in could defeat the dungeon if not then thus would likely be attacked back and In turn taken over. The third and final one was the one Matt picked.


    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.Self sufficient dungeon


    These dungeons absorb anything that dies inside of it including the monsters meaning even if they closed the entrance forever they could still slowly grow. They also can learn the skills of the other dungeons if they can take them over when they are attacked.


    The S.S. Dungeon was the most adaptable but would start out with out either of the abilities the others had.


    Finally he told the voice what he would like and the voice offered to start him off with some moss, worms, and flies for 1/2 the price he would have to pay in order to make them on his own with out the system. Agreeing immediately he watched the agreed upon amount plus the cost to choose this race drain away as well as the rest being converted to mp.


    Next he had to pick his start point. The system started his out with a map of one of the continents that had sentient life on it but it didn''t fit his ideas. Neither did the rest.


    Matt> "is there any continents with out sentient life that won''t have any for at least a decade?"


    Help> "there is three but two are ice Capps would you like to see the third?"


    Matt>" yes please"


    After looking at he continent he realized that it was perfect. He could grow for several years before any sentient beings came to destroy him and in turn kill him completely. As an after thought he asked what there was for dungeons on the continent. There was no other people running any dungeons on this continent but there was several ran by AI. Most of them were pest dungeons that had none of the skills and couldn''t gain them. There was also going to be two of each kind of player dungeon run by AI released four months after him to give his some competition since people hardly ever choose to go as dungeons in their second life. There was three with him included ,both of the others were stationary and set up on the other continents. Finally deciding on a place that had a low amount of pest dungeons he pointed at the spot and all he heard was see you soon before it all went black.


    <hr />


    sorry its short they get longer i promise

 chapter 03

    Blackness just blackness.


    For so long it could have been minutes or days he couldn''t tell.


    Then suddenly there was light.


    It started from a hole in what he could feel was a wall.


    Looking around he noticed some moss, worms, and flys buzzing around and realized that this cave was his body and he was in what was called over view. He knew something''s from the sidenotes of the description but help would still come in handy. He wanted to close the door to the outside world. So he simply thought close.


    It did just that at just a small drain to his mp which was now at 70000 it was a very large number but the exchange rate was ridiculous none the less. Looking around he noticed that the roof kind of glowed. It showed him that there was moss covering the walls and part of the floor with flys and worms eating their own area of moss. Opening up the menu he turned on breeding frenzy for tremendous results. Around half of both species left the moss and went back to some cracks in the walls. Looking at the cracks nothing happened. And then


    Nothing happened.


    Around half an hour later several hundred flys took off from the crack. A few minutes later dozens of worms crawled out of their crack. They all went straight for the moss. They were defiantly going to need more moss. Opening the menu he turned the frenzy off and looking all over it he found what he was looking for and bought some more moss right beside the other moss. With so many bugs and moss there was sure to be some evolution but Matt didn''t want to wait for it.


    So he went to sleep and told help to wake him in a month. On that note it all faded out.


    ?

    ?


    Slowly Matt woke up and colour returned to him slowly. Looking at the room he noticed some changes. First off being the worms and flys. The worms seemed to have split into two different types with the first group had gotten larger to the point they were as big around as a mans thumb, as long as his forearm and had small horns and a pointed bottom. Thinking for a while the dungeon decided to call them devil worms. After going through the menu he found what he wanted, the ability to have creatures born with cores and therefore  he would have control of them. Quickly applying cores to the nest he looked at the other worms. They were still skinny without any extra appendages and were simply longer, as long as a person is tall to be exact. They reminded him of a small snake and that led to big snakes and long story short he named them constrictor worms. After giving them cores he turned his attention to the flys. It seems they had split in three. One was normal while another was around the size to a mans fist while the final one seemed the most interesting seeing as this one had purple dots all over it. After using the identify skill all dungeons had for their monsters he found that they were poisonous and secreted a gas that caused slow damage. After thinking on it he decided to only put cores in the evolved two and left the normal one as a food source because all the others eat them anyway and he didn''t want his animals to rely on fighting for survival. Thinking about it this room was kinda small and the entrance was right there so if anything came in it could easily kill him by taking his dungeon heart. Finally deciding on it he used some of his ample amount of mp to make two new rooms and curved passageways between them and also moved his dungeon heart to the third room while he finished the first room by completely covering All the walls, except where the entrance was when open, with moss. Moving the two evolved fly species into the second room on opposite sides as well as the constrictor worms into the roof. At that the trap was laid. Time to get a new race. Then the gate opened.

 chapter 04

    Opening the gate just enough for it to be a small hole Matt started to play the waiting game.


    ?


    ?


    ?


    after around two hours of waiting a small group of rats walked in the hole, as soon as the fourth rat was in he shut the entrance. The rats didn''t care and went straight for the devil worms. To their surprise they could only catch some because the others were fighting back. In the end they just went to the second room. Matt had a few constrictor worms drop from the ceiling for food. Once the rats were full it was easy to take over their minds. He made them move into a crack in the first corridor and made the nest give the future ones cores. He also sent his big flys out side of him and had them pick up a decent sized beetle for the other animals to feed on for now. He placed them in the first corridor and made it wider with a small amount of moss because it seems all the bugs love it. On that note he turned breeding frenzy on for the beetles followed by the rats before he just sat back (metaphorically) and waited.


    ?


    ?


    ?


    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.It had been one week since he brought the rats in and boy had they changed. He had to split up the nests because the larger ones which ate devil worms through pack hunting had grown to much larger than the others that ate bugs. After thinking for a long while he decided where he was going to spend a large amount of his mp. First he mad a fourth room and then a fifth with the corridors connecting them being larger and covered in moss. He then moved the larger rats into the third room and the smaller ones Into the first. He also spent out a swarm of large flys by air and constrictor worms by land considering that they were actually starting to wrap things up with their body. They were sent to find a small bird or bat and bring it back by any means necessary except killing it. After a day and a night passed he could tell that they had found something in a tree about a km away and were bringing it back. When he felt it he just smiled and had many beetles and regular flys come to the forth room to be food for this bird. As they got closer to the dungeon Matt could tell more about the bird. It wasn''t until he opened up the entrance that he realized the size of the bird though. It was at least as big as a raven and was by no means what he intended to get but he would have to make it work. Once it was drug to the fourth room they released it and more flys came they basicly formed a wall that the bird couldn''t get through in front of the entrance. Once Matt realized the sheer size of the bird he doubled the size of the room and nearly tripled the height before adding a large crack near the top for the nest. When it hit him that it couldn''t reproduce alone he made another in its image ,but of the opposite gender, with mp and turned on the breeding frenzy.

 chapter 05

    It had been two weeks since he had gotten his birds and boy did they have an effect. They killed the slow and weak rats, any worms or flys that couldn''t fight them off alone or as a group died. All of this supported evolution through natural selection as well as giving the birds ample magic power inside of them causing mutations. They went from a light blue raven sized bird to a pitch black, hawk sized bird with a long sharp beak. The first real dangers that his dungeon had. Before them it had bugs that could slow you down and poison you and rats that could injure you but these birds could now impale a man if they were diving. It was a weapon he could use against people when the time came. During this time he had built a second floor and drug the birds nest down to it and filled it with bug eating rats and large flys for food. The entire floor was two room one was very small with his dungeon heart in it and the other was quiet large and about 100w x 300l x 90h (feet) making a large rectangle that was nearly as tall as it is wide. He also made small cracks for bugs to crawl down through for food for the food (if you understand what I''m saying).


    One night things started to get boring so he left the door opened well also sending three birds out to scout the area because with their higher Int. they could acctully tell what things were and there for so could he. After a while of flying circles around the dungeon slowly getting farther away they found something.


    It was a pest dungeon.


    It had a sentient in it.


    In reality it was a elf, sword, and horse all of whom he could tell were real people who had taken those forms when they joined. Freaking out Matt sent his birds in the dungeon it was time to get some muscle so that they could defend if the elf found his way to his body/dungeon . Matt wanted to kill them because they would drop crazy mp as well as the jewel in the sword could be used as a monster core but it would be way stronger and evolve quicker because it is as smart as a human.


    The birds flew right past them on the second floor and went straight for the bottom fourth floor. On the floor they seen a skeleton dungeon lord as well as several goblins. Thinking fast Matt had them kill goblins and take their cores by swallowing them after they had eaten four of them they rushed home and blew past the players who had reached the third floor.


    As soon as the birds made it back he closed the entrance and started renovations. He made a third room on the second floor and made the passage way to it long and filled with the poisonous bugs. He put his dungeon heart in the third room and made it about 20 x 20. He also made the size of the second room about the same as the first but shorter seeing as it didn''t need the height. Once the birds had reached the third room he had another one come in and kill them as he controlled them and made them stay still. Seeing the cores on the ground he knew he can revive them for himself but didn''t know how.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.For this he called on help.


    Matt> "help how do I reincarnate these cores?"


    Help>" simply pour mp into them and they should start to re grow once they are re-born stop the mana flow."


    Matt>"thank you."


    Doing as help said he slowly poured mana into them and slowly a body because to grow around the core. Once the goblins were fully grown he sent them into the second room where he had made a small area containing hay and a small brook running across it. Once they were in the room he turned on breeding frenzy.


    Opening his entrance just a bit he sent a single bird out before closing it. Through his link with the bird he found the elf and his companions about 1km to the north east of him. Through the birds eyes he got a good look at them the elf was average in every way though he had a keen look about him. The horse was a tall broad palomino. The sword really caught his attention though it was a two handed orange sword that looked as if it had flames dancing in it. The gem in the pommel of the sword was a bright orange with little flicks of yellow that were the swords consciousness. That sword would level up with use and become stronger and eventually be able to cast minor magic on it self. That jewel could make Matt so much stronger if he absorbed it and basicly killed the man(or woman) for its power and knowledge of monsters it has fought or he could turn it into a monster which would become an elite most likely. Bringing the bird back in he turned his attention to the goblins.


    They had started hunting in groups and taking down birds while a single one could catch the rats. The slow and weak goblins were killed by the birds though so it kind of evened out. He didn''t turn the frenzy off quiet yet because he wanted more goblins to take on the elf. Picking out the largest goblin he had it come to the dungeon heart room. Opening the menu he selected the dungeon lord option using this goblin as its base. looking at the options he settled on an Orc. It was a few monster tiers away from the goblin and slightly larger than a man. Normally they would be dumber than a sentient being by quiet a lot but still smart. Because it is a dungeon lord though that didn''t apply here and it''s int. was the same as the dungeons because it was linked to the dungeon heart directly. Finally satisfied with his work Matt spent a lot of mp to equip his Orc with a regular iron long sword. By the end of this he was down to 10 k magic power but it was okay that was plenty. After turning the breeding frenzy off Matt had his dungeon lord sit down on the throne he had created and he waited while wondering how the players had got here and were obviously working together...

 chapter 06

    Jo''s pov


    As I bounced along I looked around using my skill, escaped vision. It basically let me see the area around me in a 3rd person view. Damn, sight was sure one of the hardest parts of being a sword but with some skills he could see, hear, and smell like like any person but it just wasn''t the same. He was currently strapped to his dad''s waist as he rode atop his mother who was a horse. They were all alone in this continent. That was on purpose they wanted to be a family with out the distractions of others. With his being a sword it drastically raised his fathers physical attack and his magic attack was already high because he was an elf. They were clearing dungeons  easily to gather strength before they settled down.


    You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.Earlier they had seen some weird birds dart past them in a dungeon but never fought before they flew past back up and out again it was so confusing. None the less they conquered the dungeon and stole the dungeon heart. It was the eighth that they had captured and the 11th dungeon they had cleared. They suspected that there was a stronger dungeon around here seeing as all that they had destroyed weak.


    Jo was a loner on earth but here he was just with his family so he couldn''t really be alone. Not that he could hide much he was a sword..


    Looking up he seen a bird like the one from earlier. Almost as soon as he seen it it darted in a different direction and flew pell mell south west until he was nothing more than a dot before it took a dive at the ground and he lost sight of it behind the trees.


    After telling his parents about it they decided to check it out tomorrow.

 chapter 07

    Matt pov


    Looking around the room Matt made note of the goblins using death crow beaks as daggers.


    Smiling to himself a message popped up.


    Evolutions available


    Aggressive rats may evolve to noble rats or feral rats for free.


    For a fee of 1000 mana you may split the aggressive rats and evolve them into both


    Bewildered Matt realized this was the first evolution he had to choose on. With out thinking he paid the fee and got both species. The ferals were about the size of A cat with big claws, teeth, and a thick tail. The noble rat stood on its hind legs and had the build of a mini warrior it was about the same size as the ferals.


    Help> you have levelled up to level one and are now considered a real dungeon. Animals will now start to attack if they feel they can win. Boss monsters can now be created. Mini bosses are now available. Dungeon cores may now be resurrected and used. You may now check your level and exp bar.


    Stolen novel; please report.All Matt could do was stare. He hadn''t realized that he couldn''t get boss monsters or that dungeons had a level but it made sense. He was currently a level 1 dungeon barely any exp towards the next level. With the the 12000 mana he had he decided to try something soon. He turned on breeding frenzy for the new rats.


    After one new generation was born he turned it off. Thinking Matt brought the biggest feral and Noble rat to his room. Once they were inside he started to change them making the feral larger with denser muscles for more power and a slight dip in his back. With the noble he started to improve the brain making it larger and more Intelligent as well as giving it longer fingers. Once complete he used mana to create two long daggers for the noble to use as swords. Once that was done he had the noble clime atop the feral and sit in the dip. Looking at the description he found it was an elite and therefore much stronger than a regular. Using the menu he made them a mini boss. This was possible because they were partners.


    Looking at the exp bar it had risen to almost full just because of the changes and making a mini boss. Hmm, useful Matt thought. On that note he opened the entrance.

 chapter 08

    Opening the door Matt invited all challengers to him.


    He had 13000 mp and was confident he could use it to stop anything that the animals couldn''t with traps.


    Using his dungeon over view he looked out the entrance and seen some dogs walking past. Taking control of a aggressive rat he had it run outside right in front of the dogs before running back inside. Once the dogs were inside he had the rat run down stairs. As the dogs chased the bugs and worms slowly chipped away at their health. Once they reached the second floor Matt had the goblins herd them into the new room off to the side with a den for them before he closed the door and had some rats get in through cracks for food and set the den to birth all new pups with cores and turned on the breeding frenzy. With each litter of puppy''s being between 6-8 the numbers grew fast soon he opened the door and let them ever the rest of the dungeon.


    That was when the message appeared.


    Update 1.2


    As a dungeon the only changes now are that you can make sentient beings your minions even if they don''t have a core as long as they agree to it. Magic skills can now be given to monsters of at least tier 1, depends on the monster for different skills and power.


    General notice humans have landed on a new continent.


    Side note


    Humans have landed on your continent and are settling exactly 4036.3 km away .


    Specific notice


    New AI. Dungeons have been released early so they have growth time before humans attack them. Closest player level dungeon (leaching) 0.01km away.


    Upon reading this Matt did something he had never done before.


    He sent his dungeon lord out side.


    With him were some goblins as well as the mini boss leading other rats and some birds.


    The birds were scouting for the dungeon as the rest waited for the signal. After ten minutes the birds had found it. The dungeon lord took off at a light jog which had everything else running all out except the feral rats. As soon as they seen the dungeon Matt had the ferals go first. They in-countered little resistance except a few slimes. The dungeon lord simply ran past the weak monsters as they were taken care of by matts forces. Reaching the final room the dungeon lord ripped the dungeon heart off the wall and started to run back to Matt. It all went well.


    That was when the monsters retreating from the collapsing dungeon saw the elf. With a quick order all the birds in the sky dive bombed at it as the rest of the monsters sprinted home.


    It just wasn''t that simple though. The elf had thrown up a magic shield at the last second killing the birds on impact before he started charging on his horse. Mat had half the ferals run at him and start to attack the elf. The Orc ran with out stopping until he was inside the dungeon closely followed by the rest of the group that haven''t died. Matt slammed the entrance shut right in front of the elf. The Orc jogged all the way to matts dungeon heart where it pressed the baseball sized heart into the walls beside matts volleyball sized heart.


    Immediately Matt received the message


    A unstable dungeon heart is inside you


    1500 mp to stabilize


    Y/N


    Matt> yes


    Mana transferring...


    Transfer complete, dungeon heart now can be made into monster or absorbed.


    Matt> absorb


    As soon as he said it Matt felt a surge of power and a wealth of knowledge flooded over him. Different monster types and floor layouts. His mp nearly doubled and started it rise slowly at about 2.5 per second.


    Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.Ability gained; leaching


    You now leaching ambient mana from the area surrounding your dungeon.


    With his new power Matt made a fourth floor with ten rooms and brought down feral and noble rats as well as goblins. He also brought some food animals down.


    Finally Matt looked outside himself and saw the elf camped near the entrance.


    Opening the entrance so very small, Matt had several bugs that slowly paralyze fly out and spray the elf and the horse for good measure.


    It was to easy.


    Like taking candy from a baby.


    At around two Matt called the flys back in, the damage had been done. He very quietly opened the entrance and slid outside as his dungeon lord. He picked up the elf and put a hand over his mouth while goblins grabbed all his bags and the sword. They left the horse.


    They brought them all to Matts room where they left the sword and items while they tied him to a chair Matt created. When a pop up happened.


    8 unstable dungeon hearts detected


    Do you wish to stabilize for 1000mp each.


    Y/N


    Matt>yes!


    Quickly Matt had dumped out all the elfs bags before he found them. He dug eight holes in the wall around Matt and put them in. Matt immediately absorbed the four largest dungeon hearts giving him close to 100k Magic points. Drawing from the other dungeons memory he created four more floors and filled them with monsters that were all stronger than he had. And then decided to turn the other four into boss monsters. Using their memory he made them Into a stone golem. A skeleton knight outfitted with full plate armour and great sword, a giant slime which absorbed other monsters to grow, and for the bottom floor he made a lich before putting himself in the final room. He gained slimes, skeletons, Tigers, gremlins, and trolls. With all these new monsters, floors , and bosses his dungeon level went up twice but he currently had 37mp. After the lich had cast a spell of binding on the elf he went to sleep.


    ?


    ?


    ?


    Looking around he smiled, this was his huge monster filled body. First things first he looked through all the new levels and make sure it was progressing okay. To his surprise the races all had a leader that was already an elite. It brought a smile to his face to know that he would continue to grow.


    Now it was time for less pleasant things.


    Taking control of his dungeon lord he got up and walked to the room where the elf was held.


    Matt> speak so I may know your story.


    Elf>why should I tell a petty dungeon anything


    Matt> because I am a player just like you, only difference is I''m a lot stronger and will kill you if you don''t tell me.


    Elf> my name is Greg, my wife is a horse and my son a sword. We came to this continent to be alone as a family but recently humans have landed on this continent, we are now looking for a home away from people and gathering strength as to survive in such a remote place.


    Matt>I have an idea...


    You and your family may live in me so long as you are my servants running errands and such.


    Elf> no


    Everyday Matt would offer the elf that and the elf would refuse but after a week the elf said yes.


    That was when Matt forced a core into his chest. The man screamed.


    And he screamed.


    And then he stopped because it was over he had a core and Matt was his master.


    Matt> go and clear dungeons and take their hearts, I need more strength and so do you you may take your son but send your wife down for a core before she goes...


    That was how Matt won. For a Short while at least..

 chapter 10

    Luke pov


    Pulling his sword out of the goblin he stepped forward and punched the dungeon heart with all his strength shattering it. Another one down he thought.


    Luke had been traveling the new continent solo destroying dungeons for exp but at level 210 a whole dungeon wasn''t even a quarter of a level. But the level cap didn''t exist so he had to stay at the top.


    He was sure missing his house though, two story stone and granite with running water. Houses didn''t get much better than that but it was all the way back near the first town of the continent. Damn he missed it.


    ?


    ?


    ?


    Walking through the forest he came upon a clearing with a small hole in the ground.


    "Another weak dungeon lets go clear it" he thought aloud to himself.


    He was a high Mage defender. Basically he was a high Mage by with ridiculous defence, three months of searching and a lot of gold it took to become such a class but it was worth it he could do anything by himself seeing as he was a Mage and also had a few attributes of warriors.


    Walking in there wasn''t much on the first floor he passed the second floor easy to. Third and fourth weren''t to challenging.


    The fifth floor was simple but the boss was cunning and to hard for any magic to work on seeing as he was a golem. In the end Luke ended up using a war mace to crush it''s body and kill it.


    Things were getting interesting.


    The next floor was actually a little harder but still didn''t challenge him. The boss was super easy to beat he simply crushed it . The seventh floor was kinda fun and he simply roasted the boss. The eighth floor was a good time with him having to actually fight a little. But In the final boss room something wasn''t quite right.


    There was a lich standing in the middle of the floor chanting but standing at the back wall an Orc eyed him with caution.


    Muttering quickly he used some dark magic and sucked the lich into a portal and dropped it in the middle of the starting town. He needed to slow down the competition if he wanted to become king.


    Turning to the Orc he watched as the Orc un-sheathed a iron long sword. Orcs were dumb and easy to fight but this one seemed intelligent.


    I''m retarded it''s a dungeon lord! He thought. Quickly he pulled out his special weapon.


    The evolutionary shields. They were class specific items that only one person could possess. They levelled up on their own so that a player would never out grow Them. They were level 182 currently with a points coming to sharp tips and a gun inside that fired bolts of magic. It was truly his dream weapon. Charging the Orc he shot magic out of his shields and rolled to the left as the iron sword crashed through were he had been but a second ago.


    Finally after weeks of searching dungeons, a challenge.


    They traded blows back and for a few minutes before Luke got board and pulled a trump card.


    " amethyst monkey!"


    After screaming the words they both stood still as a crystal monkey walked out of a portal. It didn''t look like much but it was special. The monkey ran over and started throwing punches at the Orc which were easily blocked. Then the monkey stepped back and started eating the floor. Seeing his chance the dungeon lord jumped forward and swung down at the monkey with all his strength.


    The iron sword shattered. Immediately the Orc held his hand out and a spiked mace appeared in it. Again the Orc swung and against shattered. A third time he held his hand out a hammer appeared but the head was the size of a mans body. Swinging down Orc went about crushing the monkey.


    The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.As he swung down a giant hand grabbed the hammer and pulled it from his grasp. Standing there was a amethyst gorilla. The real monster. It crushed the hammer and punched the Orc literally causing him to burst before the gorilla walked back through a portal.


    That gorilla had saved him more time than he could count.


    Waking to the wall he drew his arm back a prepared to shatter the heart.


    "Wait!"


    Looking around he was confused there was no one else in the room.


    " I am Matt, the dungeon heart. I am a player just like you and wish to live, bring me to your home or let me be your home or just leave me alone but don''t just fucking kill me!" He yelled the last part.


    " And why should I do that? Hmm you''ll provide a lot of exp. to kill."


    " because if I absorb a teleporting dungeon heart than I can transport myself, my body aka my dungeon or maybe buildings could be considered a dungeon if they are stone?, and anything inside of me. I can be a mobile fortress as well as traveling companion and army. I''m literally the best thing someone can have in their team." Finishing his rant the dungeon went quiet...


    He could be of help if he can be controlled... Luke thought to himself.


    Thinking Luke pulled out a magic scroll and quill and went about writing. Five minutes later he was finished.


    Matt pov


    " create a dungeon lord that can write." Luke spoke.


    Using the mp he had gained from all the dead monsters he created a goblin with longer fingers seeing as it could do the job Matt walked over to the stranger Matt grabbed the quill and asked where he had to sign. All the while reading it.


    I (sign name here) swear to always listen to Luke Clarke so long as I live. ( sign name here) shall not bring any harm to Luke on any circumstances unless he says to do so.


    Reading it over Matt signed where directed and sealed his fate.


    " now Matt is it? Ah yes it is. We are going to put me on the throne of this continent. But first it seems we need to find you a teleporting dungeon heart to absorb and for you to turn my home into a castle." Luke said.


    " uh Luke minor problem."


    " what would that be?"


    " I don''t have enough mp to make a strong enough army or to make a castle. I need more mp and knowledge. I need more dungeon hearts to absorb, it''s the fastest way."Matt replied.


    " well I''ll take you home and then go hunting."


    What had Matt gotten himself into?

 chapter 11

    They traveled for weeks before they found a town. As they walked through the gates Luke received some angry glares but overall nothings special. That night they stayed in the local inn with Matt just being stuck in a bag the whole time.


    Late in the night while Matt looked around the room because he didn''t have anything else to do.


    BA-BOOM


    Then he saw nothing.


    Game over haul alert; due to unfairness of the game it has been over hauled. Everyone has been reverted to level 1. All items have been lost. Classes have been reset. All players returned to a starting village in their continent. All animal players are now in the wild. All sword players are now on a shelf in a starting town. All ships are now small fishing boats again. All dungeons have been class combined to garn dungeons. Have fun players. If you die you will lose half your levels.


    - game masters


    When the light subsided and the strange voice stopped Matt was once again at the game screen


    " hello I am the will of Valensia. I am here to help your transition. Garn dungeons gain mp from anything that dies inside of them. As well as equipment that adventures drop. They can close their doors upon will. They can teleport to a Different location every three floors added. Biomes can now be created if floors are expanded big enough. Water is now available for you to use in your floors. you cannot absorb dungeon hearts anymore they may only be used in monsters. Every player can pick one skill tomb and one prime.


    Tombs 1-10 are floor building, 11-25 are monsters, and 26-30 are random abilities. Races available as a prime; mole,imp, koblob, gnome. Prime''s and their underlings are helpers throughout the dungeon both digging new rooms and floors as it isn''t a dungeon option Anymore as well as using their knowledge they have gathered to help you in all your ordeals, they can also alter monsters."


    ''Jeez that''s a lot for me to pick from.''


    " umm I think skill tomb twelve and an Imp for a prime."


    This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.Skill tomb 12; you may take adventures souls and make them a dungeon monster so long as they want it. Adventures must bring a gem, dungeon heart, or elemental stone for their monster core to be built around in order to retain their memories.


    Imp prime: your prime is your second in command as well as your friend and personal help button. They can help out around the dungeon and summon others of their species to add to your work force. They feed directly off your mp, the rest of the work force eats animals that they can catch to survive. Your prime as well as your work force cannot attack things unless they are registered by the system as food for them.


    ''Holy shit man that''s a lot to process''


    "Please pick a starting point."


    For the second time ever the world map showed up in front of him. After what was probably hours he came to a decision.


    " right here" he said pointing to a beach about three km from a the starting village on the biggest continent. A flash of white and he was yet again inside a small one room dungeon, only difference was the imp standing in front of his dungeon heart and the fact that there was no bugs or moss.


    " are you awake master?"


    Quickly observing the imp Matt decided what he wanted to ask.


    " I take it you are my prime?"


    " ahh yes master I am calt your faithful prime." The green imp said while nodding his head.


    " where is the rest of my work force then calt, I was told you were the commander of my work force?"


    " I am the entire work force until you save up enough mp to summon more."


    ''Hmm nice to know...''


    Opening the dungeon menu he quickly bought some dungeon moss and set it to grow.


    " so when I''m trying to attract monsters in wont you scare them off?"


    "No master I have a lair to go into that only workers and the prime can go. It''s rather small and has nothing in it as of yet except for the TV. You can expand it using the auto lair upgrade option when you get more mp."


    "Wait there''s TV?!"


    "Yes there''s a total viewer, it either shows what your doing or sometimes world events and the like."


    '' damn haha looks like I will be relying on calt to help me with current events.''


    "Okay go to the lair I need to get some bugs."


    Calt was there and then he just... Wasn''t. It kind of threw Matt off a little but after a moment he opened the doors to his dungeon and waited...


    <hr />


    weekly updates now if anyone has any good ideas for the story drop them in the comments if i like them ill pm you to talk a little more.

 chapter 12

    MATT POV


    ''I have been waiting for three hours and all I got is some fruit flys. On the upside it didn''t take much to over power them.''


    Hmm what should I do in the future... Ocean floor, forest floor and total biome would be cool...


    Turning his attention back to the opening he got ready for some more bugs.


    "FUCK FUCK FRIG FUCK FROG"


    All of that he screamed in his mind as a group of 3 adventures walked into his small one room dungeon carrying some blood spattered rocks and sticks.


    The one, who appeared to be the leader judging by his leading the group, dropped his rock and cupped his hands around his mouth before yelling. "Dungeon lord hello are you there?".


    ''I don''t have much time, guess I''ll wing it''


    Preparing my self I said. " what is it you seek human..."


    '' damn I sounded powerful''


    Looking confused the adventurer began to speak "we are but players who wish to become monsters and the bulletin board in town said you were the only way for us to do that so change away, oh great dungeon lord."


    " yeah about that.... I can''t."


    The leader made a weird face while asking " why can''t you?"


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more." well you see I lack both the mana and the crystals needed to make cores capable of holding your conciseness."


    Smiling the leader simply said "Gerard do it, Lana give it to me." All the while holding out his hand Lana handed him something and the other man, probably Gerard, walked up to my dungeon heart ''aw fuck''. That''s when I felt it, he wasn''t destroying me but feeding me, it was mana and a decent amount of it from what I can see I just gained 56 mp.


    " thanks but I still can''t do it I don''t have any good species to change you to yet and I lack the crystal."


    "Hears what we''ll have to do if you want to become monters. Bring several of the species you wish to be and find some crystals to act as your hearts."I said after some thought.


    "I can''t capture several dragons though can you help me?" The leader of the group said.


    "... Bring some lizards then and you will just have to evolve over time."


    "Is everyone ready?" They all nodded "okay then head out!"

 chapter 13

    Hunter POV


    As we walked out of the cave I directed Lana to stay and guard the entrance while Gerald and I go level.


    Walking over to the sea which was maybe 500m away at most I looked into the water looking for some fish to kill with my stick while Gerard tried to get some with his lighting magic. He was one of the few people who had gone down the route of lighting Mage despite its crazy destructive ability, the mana cost for the spells was outrageous, making it a rare starter class. For me my class was tsunami warrior, I could use some water and ice magic but it was very little and very weak at my level even with the bonus from choosing my class. In my inventory there was my growth weapon, armour, and a skill book, familiar summon, it allowed me to summon a monster who could be upgraded to different monster with more points added, the monsters you got from upgrading the skill with skill points were based off of your personality. These were what I had spend over 15 million dollars on. Bad ass starting weapons and skills.


    What I didn''t know was that they had requirements. The mace could only be used by dwarfs or fused with the body permanently, the armour while being powerful and black as night had to be fused with the body and could not be taken off. Could not be used by the humanoid races apparently. The skill book had no twists luckily but I wasn''t high enough level to be worth even using it.


    So I was using a stick.


    Gerald on the other hand could only afford 2 starting items. A skill book that taught him how to cast spells with out saying the words and a lightning elemental core that could be inserted in a monster or familiar to make them stronger. The only reason he hadn''t used it to get changed to a monster was the lack of good species to choose from in the dungeon so far.


    Speaking of which we need to make him stronger because so far he is weak as fuck and it is pitiful all he can do is stun and buff.


    Spoting a fish I bent my knees and jumped while swinging the stick down hitting the fish. ''Yes I got one!'' But as soon as I hit the fish it seemed to swim away like it wasn''t hurt as I lifted the stick up again swam away. Looking beside me i spotted Gerald scooping up minnows and puting them in his shirt. I didn''t under stand why until he began to walk back to the dungeon. ''Ah he must be helping him grow''. Once he got inside the entrance I seen him drop the fish before he picked up a rock and started smashing it down It killing the little fish once and for all.


    Watching him smile I can tell that even those minnows were enough to push him to the next level.


    Turning back to my task I continued to smash at the fish, and of course they continued to defy my will and live on.


    Sighing I walked back on shore and decided to look for crabs.


    Spotting one I smashed the end of the stick down on it.


    While I did injure it it wasn''t enough to kill the crab so I lifted the stick up for a second swing when the crab rushed snapping at me I took a few steps back before I was ready to kill it, swinging down I ended the little crabs life.


    Looking up at my experience bar I noticed it had increased to almost half. Looking around for more crabs yielded nothing. Alas after a few more minutes of diligent searching I spotted a blue crab about twice the size of the last crab, besides being massive it had two sets of pincers and above its head floated it''s name. I was fighting the mutant crab apparently a mini boss of the beach. Thinking quickly I ran away. (What were you expecting something else?)


    I ran right to Gerald." I need your help Gerald, have you figured out that stun spell that you were working on earlier?". Turning to me from his hunt for minnows he replied "yeah why" turning away I started to walk back to the crab all the while saying " I need you to use it on this mini boss so that I can get it inside the dungeon".


    Once we arrived back near the crab I prepared myself, by dropping the stick, for when Gerald stunned the creature, I would need to be fast to get it to the dungeon before the stun wore off. "CRACKLING STUN!", a bolt shot past me and hit the mini boss, stunning it. Leaping forward I grabbed the crab and started running pell-mell towards the entrance. Once I was about ten feet away I felt the crab start to move so I threw it the rest of the way into the dungeon. Grabbing a random rock from the grounding jumped over the massive crab in slammed the rock down on the middle of the shell, cracking it, to my dismay the crack was tiny and almost non existent. Looking at the exit I saw Gerald running after me, Lana had moved in from the entrance with her stick, and was across the room from me on the other side of the crab. Thinking quickly I yelled "Throw me your stick!".


    She made a rather funny face but did as I asked. Leaping to the right I caught the stick and ended it with a roll across the ground. Shifting the rock to my right hand I threw it as hard as I could at the crab hitting it in the same place. While it was recovering I hefted the heavy branch in both hands and brought it down on on of the crabs legs, breaking it off. While the crab was in shock I was able to bring off another two legs on the opposite side. The crab scurried away still dragging the one leg that hadn''t fully came off yet, he scurried around for a few more minutes with me landing a few glancing blows but nothing able to really hurt it to badly. Suddenly the little crab kept forward and snapped into my left leg with all four of his pincers taking away more than half of my pitifully low health. Swinging the branch down I smashed the crab off taking a further 1/8 of my health off before dancing around the crab. It felt like a contest of wills. I had my lavender eyes locked with its Beady black eyes. In this moment the crab rushed towards me with its pincers extended intending to end my life. Purple on instinct I jumped over the crab and ran to the far wall.


    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.It was at this moment Gerald decided to show up."Electrical slash" he said at pointed at the branch I was holding, making it light up with a yellow glow.


    Without thinking I smashed the branch down on the crab where it was cracked, delivering the electricity into the shell of the crab,killing it instantly.


    Smiling I walked over to my friends, gave them all a high five and watched as the experience bar filled up flashed blue and proceeded to do so again before filling up about 1/3 of the bar again and stopping. Smiling I watched as two notifications popped up saying I had levelled up and had ten points to spend in both skills and attributes. With out thinking umuch about it I put 3 points in strength bringing it up to 13, 2 into agility bring it it up to twelve, and dumped the last five into vitality, knowing just how weak this body really is, bringing the total Up to 15. Satisfied with my stats I decided it was time to find out what I had for a familiar.


    So I opened my inventory and took out the skill book, familiar summon. Chanting out the words needed to learn the skill book," est uh vas famil tou thy gad jo!" I felt a weird tingle throughout my entire body before a notification window popped up showing that I had indeed learned it.


    "Familiar summon" I said as I got some weird looks from my friends, and then a flash with tiny turtle appearing next to me. Reading it''s name plate it read, baby turtle, while it was rather cute it didn''t have much offensive power being the size of my thumb. Checking its status, something I noticed I could do when it appeared, it didn''t say a whole lot except "5 skill points to maturity" with out thinking I made it so and it grew to the size of my hand but when I checked how much the next upgrade was I was sad to find out that it took ten points,which I don''t have. "Hey guys what are yo going for with your monster body''s, you never told me?". Lana perked her head up " I''m thinking something like a really fast monkey."


    Gerald took a minute to decide but finally he said " water leviathan, a huge snake like monster that lives mainly under water but can also fly when needed."


    "Ooh I like it, we could have one floor that is massive like a biome size or something and we could all be the final bosses before the dungeon core!"


    Smirking turned towards the exit.


    We had our goals.


    Matt POV


    After the adventurers walked out I smiled I had some allies, not slaves, but genuine allies.


    After the Mage, Gerald I think it was, brought some fish into the dungeon and killed them I got 17 mp which was good because I was to low to do much and I wasn''t get ready to send out calt and I couldn''t close the door when they brought in new monsters for me to eat.


    I was just Chillin when hunter, the leader, threw a massive mutant crab in my dungeon. I wasn''t at all okay with this, monsters can eat dungeon cores to grow stronger, I was a dungeon core. In my crazed reasoning I saw that this monster was going to eat me.


    That was when the super man jump smash with a rock by hunter made me feel better.


    Then I saw how much damage it did...


    Needless to say it left something to be desired.


    I watched the battle apprehensively waiting to either be eaten or to gain mp.


    As the fight went on I watched the crab, got inside its head just enough to feel some of what was going on in it but not enough to take it over, I wasn''t strong enough for that yet. I watched how it moved, reacted, and overall everything about that crab.


    Near the end of the battle I got a notification but swiped it aside without even looking at it, I was so focused both on the crab and how the humans moved. They may be my allies but I would need to know how humans fight for the future.


    It ended. In one move. ''Damn that''s one good buff to use against water element monsters.''


    I got the mp from the crab, a whopping 114 mp bringing my total up to 287 mp.


    Looking at the notification that I dismissed earlier. It said that I had enough knowledge to add a new starter race to my dungeon, hermit crabs.


    On my opinion they are incredibly weak but had potential for a strong monster in later years so I accepted the notification and made 6 appear for a total of 17 mp they were a little bit bigger than your average hermit crabs in my opinion. But I wasn''t complaining. Once that was complete I spent the rest of the day just watching them. At one point I made some sand appear in one corner, they didn''t need water to live, so that they could burrow as they typically like to.


    That night after gaining another 100 mp bringing me up to 380 Gerald dumped 70 mp into me before the adventures headed off to bed just outside of the entrance to me. Once they were out side I set calt to work. Oh boy does he work fast...

 chapter 13

    ''I am a tamer.


    Tamers in this new world could have any amount of monsters and animals.


    But they had to be able to get the monsters to bow down to them be it through a fight or kindness after using the taming spell on them for the monster to be fully tamed.


    Otherwise, there''s a good chance your dying in your sleep.


    It isn''t a safe life.


    At the start it is deadly.


    As time goes on it gets a little easier.


    At least I have my custom monster milk.


    A blend of herds, minerals, real milk, and blood.


    It is all that I will speed up my monsters growth beyond that of other trainers.


    It''s all I have to gain strength above others.''


    '' hahaha damn I sounded so serious''


    Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.I''m a pretty normal guy actually not so serious but it''s fun to act around some times.


    Currently my only animal is a crab, a regular crab, which is great considering it evolved from a hermit crab.


    Tamed him the first day.


    I''m pretty proud of him.


    I''m not big into naming monsters.


    Also I''m one of the weakest people in town.


    There is two other tamers on the town. One of them snagged a kitten which has grown some and the other has a small bird, well not small because it''s grown a fair bit but still...


    Today I want to bolster my crab numbers so that I can start breeding them to create stronger crabs which would be worthy of actually giving my monster milk.


    I''ve given some to my first crab because I needed a good base to build off of. I heard there was a beach a few km away from the town, but there''s supposed to be a dungeon there also.


    The dungeons the real score.


    I could use it to breed my monsters with some dungeon creatures for stronger breeds because dungeon monsters and naturally stronger.


    If the dungeon is a mindless one then I can destroy it and take the heart, they fetch a good price I''m told, the dungeons aren''t very strong yet so it should be easy

 chapter 14

    heres another chapter enjoy! :)


    Matt pov


    Boy does calt work fast, he dug the first room in the dungeon to almost twice the size before makes a path to where the next room will be in about two hours. It took 50 mp though for him to do it. I moved my dungeon heart down the hallway to the end, the hall is only three feet tall and two feet wide but it puts my dungeon heart out of harms way some more.


    My six crabs are dead, but it''s okay they laid eggs before dying. Between 4-6 eggs per pair of adults. After three generations with the fourth about to be born I was expecting 720 hermit crabs. I had turned the breeding frenzy off after these eggs were born. I''d also had cult dig then a nest inside the wall,don''t ask me how he did it, all I know is that the entrance is a small crack.


    It was morning now and I had opened my doors a few hours ago.


    I had it set so all animals or monsters born in my dungeon had a core. Hunter,Gerald, and Lana had brought me some moss and a few mushrooms they had been able to find both of these out side around the dungeon. I had them leave it in the dungeon.


    Both fungi were currently growing in the dungeon and being eaten by both the hermit crabs and about 100 flys. The other thing I''ve gained so far is a centipede, I already made it my animal, it liked to eat the flys when it could catch them but it used its larger size and movement speed to kill and eat the hermit crabs. The centipede was growing to, my guess is all the magic power from so many crabs in such a small body it forcing it to mutate in order to accommodate. Currently my strongest monster the centipede was about as long as a mans forearm and about 1/4 as thick. It''s a good thing it will live for another few months at least unless it gets killed because I have nothing to breed it with yet, though I sent Lana away from the door into the forest to go look for some more.


    ''Ooh look some visitors'' I thought as some scarab like beetles flew through through the cave mouth I had open to about 8'' by 8'' there was four of them and they were about the size of a mans Palm and black as night with a small horn sticking out of their head that looked it had two letter B''s on either side of the top.


    They look like a good base for some bug monsters so I order the centipede to stay away from them for now, for the safety of both of them.


    I just watched them eat the flys and they worked together to kill some hermit crabs, by the time they finished eating three crabs their minds were easily over powered once they were mine I induced breeding frenzy  once they laid about 40 eggs I ended it and they died soon after. Most of the hermit crab eggs had hatched by now, some were even eaten already as previously mentioned.


    The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.It was at this moment that Lana decided to show up with my most anticipated guest. It was another centipede and when I used identify I found it was indeed a female.


    After thanking Lana I said I would be closing the doors for a little bit. Once Lana was out and the door was closed I turned my attention to the new centipede while calt started building the centipede nest.


    The female centipede was about half the size of the male, in part because of the magic power difference because the male has been eating crabs,I think at least. It took calt but minutes and 10 mp to finish the centipede nest.


    They immediately went inside and I turned on breeding frenzy, though only until the first clutch of eggs started to hatch. With four new centipedes, all about 3/4 the size of the first male.


    Smiling to myself (obviously who else could see it) I realized that it was time for a bug eating animal.


    Apex pov


    I''ve been walking now for about 30 min I would have been at the beach already but I found a wolf about to eat a lizardling (smaller than a gecko) and I used the chance to tame the wolf because I was able to sneak up behind it because it was so focused, I got a few good hits in before I ended up fighting a drawn out fight with a stick against it. The wolf eventually succumbed to the taming spell, one that was done the lizard walk up to me and just stared at me until I used the spell on it to. So now I have a tiny lizard and a bruised up wolf. After taming them I have them both as much of my monster milk as they could drink. I see a bright future for both of them, a dragon and a othorus   (Two headed Demon wolf). The crab I don''t have much hope for seeing as there isn''t really a strong crab monster rank up. Maybe I Could sell him or trade him or something, a lot of takers do that with unwanted monsters. Hmm food for thought. ''I can see the beach through the trees now''.

 chapter 15

    Matt pov


    You have been invited to dungeon council meeting.


    Do you wish to join dungeon council?


    "Uh sure"


    Please choose incorporeal form


    As Matt finished reading the last message he was transported to a character creation screen like what he assumed regular players would see. It was all very bland honestly. I ended up making a human about 6''6" tall with an athlete''s build and close cropped brown hair. As he finished making the body he was suddenly thrown into it and shoved through a door that had appeared.


    After I landed on the other side of the door he was greater by hard black granite. Looking up I spotted a few other assorted starter races and in the middle of the room floated a human shaped crystal.


    "Hello everyone. I am Dave, the dungeon God. I have asked you all hear today because dungeons,as a species are doomed to die as it seems, and if you get destroyed your revert back to a 1 room cave at a random location. None of you have enough strength or political power to survive as you are and I don''t want all of the creatures I oversee to die. Through this I have talked to the God of life and he had agreed to allow me to gift you all three presents that should help you if you don''t have them already. You will all gain the mouse starter race, house cat starter race, and the fluffy bunny starter race. All super low tier animals but they have decent monster forms. You will all recive two pairings of each animal to introduce to your dungeon when your ready. That is the first present, the second present is the ability to make gold coins, at 100 mp per coin. I believe this will help with bribes. The final gift is possibly the greatest, your dungeon now counts as a starter village, you can have the races appear inside of you and live inside of you. If you die all players regardless of race will be transported to your new body with you, however it is the same as if they died.they will be reset to level one and if ,in matts case." He said gesturing at me making me slightly uncomfortable" they are monsters, then they will be reset as their starter race. Anyone who sets your body as their home will be teleported with you. Tamers may keep five of their monsters when they are teleported. Also all starter races you possess will be kept in your inventory and preserved so they do not age and die. This is all I can offer you."


    "Ohh wait also you can add army ranks to your dungeons to help with order, okay that is all have fun in your dungeon." Before anyone could even say anything we were teleported back into our dungeon.


    Looking around I noticed that nothing had changed. So I opened the entrance because I needed to talk to my "group".


    When I opened the entrance all I saw was hunter talking to some dude. The second thing I saw was the wolf , not the long legged wolves you think of in games, but a short legged barrel body wolf, like those found in real life. The wolf looked pretty beat up. The third thing I saw was a small fishing boat appear behind them in the water as they were talking.


    ''Well I don''t know what the fuck is going on.''


    After that I sent my team(gonna call them that)


    " come closer to the dungeon so I can hear and offer my opinion please."


    After hunter explained it to the tamer they walked to just outside the entrance, once there they continued their conversation. It surprised me but their topic of conversation was me.


    Hunter was explaining I was actually a sentient dungeon and not a bad dude. After a lengthy conversation I asked hunter to go check out the fishing boat. Once they were gone I started talking directly to the tamer " as you already know I''m Matt, I was wondering if you wanted to join my team?".


    I just sorta came out with it, I don''t always like idle chatter when I have things to do. He hesitated and while he tried to get his words together I send calt a message to begin the excavation of four more room and the passages between them. Though I mentioned they were to be full size while the first passage would remain as it is to make it harder for adventurers to attack my dungeon I gave him 500 mp to work with, half of my total at the moment. Just as I finished that the tamer regained his composure. He said " I''m honoured but in reality I don''t want to be tied down like that sorry, though if you need some help I can do it for a price."  Hmm that sounds like a fair deal. What could I have him do... Oh I know! " so apex I would be willing to pay one gold in exchange for four lizardling and two garter snakes if pay another gold on top of that if you would get me a pack of wolves. Does that sound good to you?"


    If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.After I gave him the offer I felt was more than generous all he did was say he''d be back in three days while looking at the ground and shaking his head ever so slightly while walking away.


    I was a little bit confused but that was okay as long as he did what I asked. Looking inside the dungeon I noticed calt had finished the second room in my dungeon and was working in the hallway to the next room. I also noticed he had created one nest in the room right near the floor in the corner, there was only three hermit crabs in here so far so I spawned in the mouse race I was given. They immediately ran in the nest seeing this I spawned a larger nest in there and upgraded it once. Which was interesting seeing as I didn''t have to make calt do it, hmm question for another time.


    The mice instantly started to procreate so I turned on breeding frenzy, after the pair was done the male went outside and started to fight a hermit crab. It was an intense little fight with the mouse winning but he was missing his front left leg and was bleeding out. The last thing he did before he died was drag the crab body inside the nest. I allowed it so that monsters didn''t disappear when they were dead in a nest. The father and the crab would provide food for the next generation in about five minutes. I was so busy watching this i swiped a notification to the side of my screen during the fight. Looking away from the nest I opened it up it said that a fishing boat wanted to make a spirit contract with me. I didn''t accept but I assumed this boat was a player or else it wouldn''t be a sentient ship. First things first I sent it a message " who are you? Why do you want a contract? And how would it benefit either of us?". I felt like they were valid questions to ask. It didn''t take more than a minute for a response to arrive.


    " I am Floatingdeath, I want a contract to be able to connect to your dungeon and use it as my home base because I saw in the character creation screen that I could use a dungeon as my home village. I would benefit by having a place to dock with monsters to protect me once I get larger and you benefit by having a boat that can grow and transport people and monsters for both peaceful and and non peaceful reasons."


    That. Is. Actually.  Not a bad idea. I like it.


    "Okay I''m down." I said hitting the accept button in the blue screen. "Okay I want you to take Lana into town with the three gold coins I just sent to her to buy some gems and try to recruit a summoner or a similar class."


    With a summoner I could have them summon monsters which I could add to my dungeon. It would be advantageous to me. While I was at it I gave FD the rank private, Lana and Gerald the rank Sergeant and gave hunter the rank of captain. After that I went to the newly finished third room and put the fluffy bunnies there. Calt would soon finish the fourth room and I could add the house cats there. I currently had 100mp.


    "Help how do I attain more dungeon skill tombs?"


    Dungeon skill tombs can be earned when you defeat a sentient dungeon, they are also earned when your sentient army reaches a certain size for A price.


    "Thanks help".


    After that I turned on breeding frenzy for the fluffy bunnies and just enjoyed my dungeon.

    I was hoping for some reviews and ratings for the story. This is my last saved chapter but I think I know how the story will proceed with only some minor changes, depending on which type of god he will be. I also want you guys to realize that Mathew will never be OP but he will be surrounded by people and things he makes OP.


    I''d also like to thank everyone who does comment seeing as the comments are super heart warming and give me good ideas for the future.


    Also shout out to Blazingfrost as my most frequent commenter.

 not a chapter but you should read

    Hey guys, just wanted to clarify things after the last few polls.


    Matt will never ever be op.


    That being said he will make people and things op. I''ve decided he will become the god of chaos. This is mostly because it will allow me a lot of creative freedom because anything he does that is chaotic will make him stronger. I saw a few decent comments in the last chapter that pointed out things i had already thought about doing.


    That being said seeing that many comments  was a lot of fun for me because it actually lets me know that you guys do care about the story.


    People gave me suggestions for monsters which is a major thing to me because while i know a fair number of monsters there is so many i don''t know about it hurts as a writer.


    Never be afraid to comment or pm me because seeing that stuff makes my day and is about all that motivates me to write anything now a days.


    on another note i will be holding a contest, a contest to see what i''m missing and what you want to see in the story. comment below any monsters you haven''t heard of in the story yet in case i forgot about them or didn''t know in the first place. but the big part about this is that you can make up monsters as well so long as you offer some info about them and such. anyone who can come up with a good monster AND inform me of one i didn''t know about will have their monster play a bigger role than others and possibly even become a big side character.Also if you wonderful humans could come up with some chaos classes for people who will end up serving under him it would be great and almost definitely used in the story, it can also replace one of the requirements for being one of the contest winners. If you make it i will PM you for a few other details as well as shout you out quickly in the story.


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    I also noticed some of you were wondering about why Matt lost so much money and is so weak. well i couldn''t handle an OP character so i had to take drastic measures.


    well thank you for reading all of that and i hope for more reader interaction soon. :)

 chapter 16

    MATT POV


    It''s been two days so far, Lana and Floatingdeath haven''t come back yet and neither had apex.


    On a different note some monsters evolved, the hermit crabs finally achieved the rank up to normal crabs. Some of The beetles evolved into scarab beetles. The mouse race can now rank up into rats, the last thing is that the first centipede died and was eaten by one of his children giving her a large amount of mana for a centipede making her a elite and just a little bit bigger than him, her off spring have been slightly bigger than the other centipedes and they eventually went to a new nest in the second room. I also added a bunny nest in the fourth room and had calt dig a fifth and sixth room.in the fifth room all I have is a house cat cove. I also now have 600 mp.


    Hunter reached level 13 with gerald reaching level 11, they brought in most of the mp by dumping dead fish and animals inside of me.


    I also told everyone about calt so he now works almost constantly making dead end tunnels and new nests in the corridors for the animals, I haven''t put cores in any of the animals yet so they are all still outside of my control but it''s okay there is a food chain now which is good and they are getting stronger by fighting each other. Though hunter and Gerald have to kill some of them sometimes when they are attacked near the entrance by animals who wander outside of me.


    Also leader boards are now available to look at which is fun the highest leveled person is level 27 but they are closely followed by others. But the one thing I really like to see is the dungeon rankings I am currently in third behind one girl who set up her dungeon under a castle. And a guy who who made a contract with the God of light to not house dark creatures, the creations of darkos. In exchange he gained harpies and fairies two of the races that can evolve into different types of angels.


    I''ve been hoping to make a contract with a god but I haven''t got anything to draw their attention to me so I''m out of luck thus far.


    I have plans for another twenty rooms before I start making another floor.


    MAXIN POV


    As I walked out of the mage''s guild i received a notification.


    Class change complete. summoner moved to sub class, necromancer now main class. make contract with spirit to decide which type of unique undead you summon.


    Finally I had completed my quests to reach the final class I wanted. I was still a necromancer but now if I made a contract with a spirit I could summon a special undead based off the spirit that would be a unique type of undead that only I could summon. Though until that point i could only summon level 1 undead which are incredibly weak. It could be worse though because I can summon a swarm of them with my current mp level.


    At level 20 all my stats are 10 the lowest of the low except my wisdom and intelligence which are at 20 and 100 respectively. giving me a mana pool of 1000 and mana regen at 10 per minute. All and all this would allow me to summon 100 level 1 undead, I need some thing fast for my coming trip around the surrounding country side so I walked across town to the flour mill and cast the raise undead skill. it didn''t take more than a minute for 86 zombie mice to walk out of the mill. shortly after than i made my way to the edge of the forest and cast the raise undead skill again gaining me another four mice and ten small birds, a little smaller than my palm.


    With the addition to my small, weak army I made my way towards the forest. Near the edge of the trees I spotted a tall lanky man using a bow and wearing a all green cloak and stalking a fox that had wandered out side of the tree line. This man was fallenol, a elf and currently the highest leveled person around this village at level 25. He wasn''t some one you want to mess with, he would have been higher level but he also spent time hunting with his wife who''s name I never bothered to learn. She was a healer and was probably at the towns church of light studying more healing spells.


    On that note I quickly walked into the forest to level and maybe find a spirit I liked, doubt it though while its not rare to find spirits it is rare to find powerful spirits.

    I was sleeping when I recived the notice.


    Monster waves are now surging forward from the "monster mountain" on each continent. They will start weak but grow in strength until some one defeats the boss at the top of the Mountain.


    ''I guess I''ll need a good party''.

    After the weird message last night I knew we had to hurry back to Matt. I had already picked up 3 rubys about the size of my finger nail. I had also found out the town had no summoners any more and now just had a necromancer, none the less I left him a message to come to the beach.


    That was yesterday, we should be back to Matt by late tonight. Floating death had also levelled up thrice and chosen what class of ship she would grow into. It was a colonist ship. It could hold a near unlimited amount of things because once you were inside the hold you shrunk to 1/1000 your actual size. It would allow her to transport monsters around the globe. At level 75 she could also become a flying ship but that was still a very long ways away. She''s currently only about 15 feet long with next to no storage, three sets of oars, and mad that she can''t get her ship class until level 15.


    Apex pov


    It''s been three days now. I managed to get four lizardling''s and four garter snake''s but when I tried to go for the wolf pack I only managed to get the alpha, a timber wolf, tamed before the rest of the pack was there. As I ran away only the timber wolf and my lizard, which was on my shoulder survived. The timber wolf was long legged and slightly red tinged in its grey fur. After deciding to say I couldn''t get the wolf pack and that I lost my crab trying and my wolf evolved. I started to head back to the small camp site I had built.


    Once there I retrieved the snakes and lizards from the little holes I had made to keep them safe. The holes were about three feet deep and shaped like a rain drop so that they couldn''t climb or slither out. Both races were in their respective hole just as I left them. I immediately started to walk to the dungeon, still a little mad I couldn''t get the other gold I was offered.


    It took me about an hour to make it back to the beach where I was greeted by hunter and Gerald I think it was. They walked with me to Matt who told us to drop them in the eighth room in opposite corners so that they could go in the nests he built for them. On the walk hunter and Gerald killed many of the bugs and animals. We even saw a horned rabbit In the one room but it didn''t attack and seemed to tell the other rabbits to stay back to, at least in that room. In the final room I got to see his dungeon heart, it was about the size of a child''s fist and a deep blue. After we dumped the lizards and snakes they went into the nests. I chatted with them for a few more minutes before Gerald Walked out saying he had to go make sure no dungeon animals had left to far away. I finished my conversation with hunter and turned to walk away. Before turning around again to ask for my gold.


    That was when I felt some thing sharp slide between my ribs and into my heart. I turned around to run but all that did was make a big cut . I didn''t make it more than ten steps before I fell and the world went dark.


    Matt pov


    I didn''t like this guy, he seemed a little bit to.... Fake. So I sent hunter a message to kill him and Gerald a message to kill his tamed animals and drag them inside to the cat room. As soon as it was all over the guys left and I chose to not absorb the body''s Except the lizard it wasn''t worth much. But my lizards and snakes started to eat him while the cats ate his timber wolf. I didn''t leave anything for my now omnivore bunnies. The one was really strong it evolved into a Hare and started hunting cats before evolving yet again into a horned rabbit. When I checked its status it said it was a variant. The reason was it had close to four times the intelligence of other rabbits.


    It took less than an hour for both bodies to be stripped clean of edible things before I absorbed the bones. Bringing my total up to 1000 mp. Three hours later I saw the benefits. With breeding frenzy on for both lizard and snake I had about forty of each. The lizardling''s had split into two different groups when they evolved so i moved the half that had evolved into geckos into the passage ways and first 4 rooms while I kept the meat eating iguanas in the eighth room. The snakes had only one rank up and that was to what the system called cave snakes, they were just bigger stronger faster versions of the garter snakes and were about three feet long. The house cats also achieved a rank up to wild cats. They were about as tall as a mans knee and had very large incisors sticking out of their mouth.


    Realizing I was running out of room I had calt increase all the rooms to 30x40 and create two more rooms with nests in them for any animal that wanted it.


    Currently out of 1000 levels of strength a dungeon can have I was at about level 3 which is depressing. Even with all these new evolutions I was still in third place in the dungeon rankings. Whatever I was a lot stronger now, though I still needed to be stronger so I used 300 mana to fill the air in the bunny den to hopefully speed up their evolutions. I also set for cores to be created in the two new nests which it seems the tree wild cats took the one nearest my dungeon heart and the iguanas took the other one. I also had cores be created in a nest in one of the dead end passage ways. Most of the cave snakes had gone there for some reason.


    After all that was done I received a message a message from Gerald asking to be changed to a snake once Lana was back. I of course said yes because it will be awesome to have a monster that smart in the dungeon, who knows maybe he will even be able to hunt wild cats.

 chapter 17

    GOD OF LIFE POV


    '' I should help some people out cause this is boring to watch. I wonder if I should release information about the underworld to mortals or if I should open up the barriers protecting this part of the world from the rest? Now that would really shake things up. With all the new "chosen" that will be arriving soon more space will be needed.


    I wonder how earth is doing? I''ve been inside of this game since the beginning of everything, I was the first person transported in just shortly before they started dumping in the A.I.''s to fill the jobs and build society to make it enjoyable for people who want to upload. Lately though things took a turn for the worse on earth. They needed to buy larger data storage components and facilities in order to store and protect the mind of everyone already uploaded. This all caused the company to go heavily into debt and in order to get out they came up with the plan to allow people to play the game as a vr game, not many people would be able to play though seeing as the pods were tens of thousands of dollars to make plus there is mark up for sales and monthly user fees making it a very expensive adventure, though many would pay because with the recent development of pods many vr games are in production but nothing has been completed as of yet making this world the only completed vr worthy game. The "chosen" should begin arriving in a few days but they will be crippled compared to others who are fully up loaded. Their learning speed will only be 3/4 as fast and they can''t become Titans or gods. Their amount of available races will be much larger though seeing as around the world there are more races than I care to count that will be playable. I should probably create a few more gods and maybe a Demi God or two with a few world bosses. Maybe a plague... Nah to much chaos with a plague. I wonder how I should choose who and who gets what? Hmm maybe the fortune wheel? Nah over used, oooh I know how, number 1 and number 3 on each leader board should get something. Yeah that''s how I''ll do it. Okay let''s get to this...

    ''Okay so I should compose a message to tell those people who have been chosen that they were selected to be a part of something greater.''


    '' I think that I will roll the dice of fate to decide what they will be, of what, and of which level''


    I''ve already decided that I will open up the barrier. ''Huhuhu they will never expect that they have simply been living in islands on a LAKE with only a spell that teleports you to the other side when you reach near the edge. there is so many races lacking in the lake that it hurts me as the rank SSS God that created the entire world, the only SSS at that.


    Aaaaaand done! The message is finally done.


    It reads like this


    Hello


    You have been chosen to have the dice of fate rolled for you should you chose it. The dice will either make you a god or Demi-God of differing ranks. Though even the lowest rank is higher than a mortals base power so you have nothing to lose except a few hours of your time. I, as in the God of life have decided to offer you and a few select others the chance of  a life time. Should you choose to accept your name and power level shall change, as well as possibly your affinity will change. After the ceremony you shall re-appear  back where you leave from after pressing yes.


    Do you choose to accept. Y/N


    Sounds pretty good in my opinion. I had best get those dice on some fancy looking table in the middle of a endless meadow or something equally impressive.


    There we go all done.


    Now to send the message


    Matt pov


    Things are crazy right now because even more rank ups happened in the last few hours alone resulting in more hare''s as well as a whole new species last night. The bats are super low level but it''s awesome because I now have some stronger airborne combatants. I built them a small cave in the roof where they can sleep and have their young without worrying about stronger ground based animals eating them. They are all still the weakest rank of bats but there is one that is a rank above the rest, though still a animal. This male has many more mates than the rest of the males and because  of the rank up became a 7 colour bat, around three times the size of the other bats it is strong enough to hunt mice with ease, allowing for more food for its offspring which should be born soon because of breeding frenzy.


    I currently have almost 1500 points, I would have more but calt is back at it again working on the dungeon structure.


    We currently have 15 rooms with a few passages in between them but have yet to add the winding corridors that the rest of the dungeon has.


    It feels like the centipedes are close to a rank up as well as the geckos.


    Later today we plan to change Gerald to a snake.


    Oh I should tell Luke to go hu--


    What''s this?


    Looks like I got another message. Well let''s check it out.

    I''ll just send my crew a message about what''s going on.


    Do you choose to accept. Y/N


    I hit yes and a bright light flashed before my eyes.


    When I could see again I looked around and there was a few others with the same look on their face as what I''m assuming I look like also.


    Wonder.


    We are in the middle of an endless meadow with flowers and butterfly''s everywhere and the smell! It smelt like walking into a flower shop with a little bit of morning after a rain storm smell, it was such a peaceful smell I wanted to just lay down in the grass and take a nap.


    But alas I suppose I should go to the grand table a few hundred meters to my left which has several people sitting at it.


    It''s one man(?) Sitting at the head of the table that really catches my attention. They do not appear to be a human nor elf but something else it, whatever it was, I couldn''t tell the gender, was beautiful in the most divine way, surrounded with a faint aura of light and a look in its eyes of untold wisdom and age beyond anything I''ve ever seen in my life. With long silver hair down to its waist and skin like porcelain. Slightly angled eyes and ears with barely a point to them.


    At once I realized that I had been staring for far to long without saying or doing anything so I took my place among the rest of the people at the table.


    Shortly after sitting down the God of life stood up and began talking quietly and calmly, despite this (s)he? Was still Very easy to hear even sitting at the far end of the table. (S)he? Talked for several minutes about what was going on and about the dice of fate.


    I didn''t listen to it all as I was to busy trying to figure out the God of life''s gender but I caught enough to understand it all.


    Though I must admit I nearly shit my pants when it talked about the barrier around the lake we had been living on and about how there was another whole world out there. Like seriously, everyone had thought that was it but to find out the size of the world was bigger than Jupiter really freaked me out as well as excited me, I mean like think of all of the possibility in such a large and possibly diverse world, it was insane!


    It was after all this the God of life started rolling the dice and finding out what people would be. It was very interesting and I made sure to memorize each face and what their level and and role is as a god/Demi God. There was a few ridiculous one such as a b level God of furniture, which I''m not going to lie was absolutely pissed off until they got their God menu and started to read around. Apparently she can summon living furniture and kitchen wear. There was also a God of peace which was C ranked, he seemed pretty happy about that and even became the patron God of harpies. I was sitting at the very end of the table and was therefore the last to have the dice rolled for me.


    First die: God


    Second die:chaos


    Third die: SS


    Holy fuck


    That''s the highest ranking seen yet besides the God of life.


    I''m getting states of jealously from some, hatred from others, and a few who could care less.


    But the one thing they all had in common was that they were looking at me.


    Even the God of life was looking at me slack jawed, and may I add with perfectly straight white teeth.


    After a minute everyone seemed to recover from the shock and some even went back to their little conversations between each other.


    The God of life walked over and simply reached out and touched my head, bestowing me my own God menu, up to my level with my attribute.


    Chaos.


    Not going to lie to you I like it.

Like seriously, everyone had thought that was it but to find out the size of the world was bigger than Jupiter really freaked me out as well as excited me, I mean like think of all of the possibility in such a large and possibly diverse world, it was insane!


    It was after all this the God of life started rolling the dice and finding out what people would be. It was very interesting and I made sure to memorize each face and what their level and and role is as a god/Demi God. There was a few ridiculous one such as a b level God of furniture, which I''m not going to lie was absolutely pissed off until they got their God menu and started to read around. Apparently she can summon living furniture and kitchen wear. There was also a God of peace which was C ranked, he seemed pretty happy about that and even became the patron God of harpies. I was sitting at the very end of the table and was therefore the last to have the dice rolled for me.


    First die: God


    Second die:chaos


    Third die: SS


    Holy fuck


    That''s the highest ranking seen yet besides the God of life.


    I''m getting states of jealously from some, hatred from others, and a few who could care less.


    But the one thing they all had in common was that they were looking at me.


    Even the God of life was looking at me slack jawed, and may I add with perfectly straight white teeth.


    After a minute everyone seemed to recover from the shock and some even went back to their little conversations between each other.


    The God of life walked over and simply reached out and touched my head, bestowing me my own God menu, up to my level with my attribute.


    Chaos.


    Not going to lie to you I like it.

 chapter 19

    Matt pov


    Shortly after the being bestowed with my god system the God of life began talking about our duties as gods to our attribute. Then he talked for about what it means to be a god and how we gain power as well as our initiation process and a few other odds and ends. He also pulled me aside and mentioned my god menu was different than the others due both to my rank and attribute. I could do whatever I wanted but the points would reflect it, both a good and bad thing.


    The just of it is that we gain power through our followers, the more followers we have the more points we get daily to use in our godly actions with the base amount of points being 10 per day with no max amount. The stronger the followers the more we get from them daily, the more faith our followers have the more power we get from them. We could have our followers set up church''s for various bonuses. He also agreed that everyone would be able to create our own classes for our followers as well as class rank ups and monster rank ups, though no entirely new starter races. The strength of said things would be based on the amount of points we spent on them as well as our rank and they needed to be of our attribute but there wasn''t many restrictions on it all surprisingly, for which I was grateful. My mind was buzzing with ideas as soon as it all was explained it had me basically shaking while sitting in my chair.


    As soon as he released us to go he said we could always access this space but the other gods couldn''t come into our version without permission and only very faithful followers could follow us here. I took a quick trip to my version and just laid in the grass for a moment preparing for what I was about to do and getting my ideas sorted out before I stood up and willed a obsidian throne covered in pillows,obviously as black as possible ,into existence. It towered 8 feet into the air and had gleaming lines of platinum running through it and above my head rested a sun bleached dragon skull with pitch black horns sticking out of the skull.


    With this I had my throne from which I would plan my rise to power, power to rival the God of life if all goes well.


    I started with a few million points as a starter bonus. The first thing I did was create my own monster rank ups, though only for one race because I was on a budget. The starter race was goblin and for first rank up I made chaos goblins, they were about a foot taller on average, up to four feet. They were a darker green like pine needles with small 3 inch horns sticking out of their head. The part that really made it worth it was the Intelligence that was on par with hob goblins. It wasn''t much but it set up the base for the next rank up and was easier for the goblins to rank up into than a hobgoblin.


    The second rank up I made was the elder hobgoblin, standing 5''10" tall and with broader shoulders than a regular hobgoblin. The added height as well as Intelligence just below that of a human coupled with a instinctual loyalty to me. They were grey with 9" long horns that jutted out of their forehead before curling back above their head. They were a force to be reckoned with and could kill most adventurers c rank and below easily.


    I was very satisfied with the monsters I had created but I felt there was still more I could do so I created a third rank.


    For the third rank up I made a harbinger Orc. Standing seven feet tall with a muscular built and dark grey skin and no horns except a whole bunch of little ones inside the eye brows that gave it a almost haunted feeling. These were very smart and could easily beat b ranks and below. They had the same level of intelligence as human and the same undying loyalty to me. To rank up to this monster the elder hobgoblins had to have been approved by myself or one of my chosen.


    For the fourth time rank up I made a chaor. Standing 12 feet tall and built like a certain green muscle hero they were as black as possible with a crown of horns around their head and two massive horns upfront set on either side of deep red crystal that allows them their command abilities. On command they could summon black wings allowing them extra movement and the ability to fly, though not for more than a few hours due to their great weight. They were smarter than your average human and eternally loyal to me. They had the natural ability to command any goblin from chaos goblin up until the harbinger. They could fight on par with an s rank and even cast some buff and debuff Magic. A king among the possible goblin rank ups it rules with an iron fist. Though they are very strong I think it will be at least a year even if we get some sort of genius goblin before we even see anything of this rank.


    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.I even made a fifth rank up but I doubt it will be done in less than a decade because it is technically a world class boss monster. The kaosorus stands 120 foot tall and is of average build. A dark grey monster with intelligence beyond humans and a life span of a few hundred years there can only ever be one of these in the world. A entire party of s rank adventurers would be a cake walk for this monster to destroy. It is also limited to a certain area of the world so no I can''t just use this monster to conquer the world.


    I also wanted to create companions for each rank of minions. The regular goblins would receive iguanas like what was in my dungeon.


    Once the goblins ranked up so could their iguana to a dungeon lizard. A dungeon lizard is a rank up of iguanas and looks like a smaller crocodile at about 6 feet long. They would be fairly strong and good for ambushes which would make the chaos goblins use their new intelligence more in hunting plans. Once the chaos goblins ranked up it once again unlocked the ability for their mini crocodile to rank up to the akubra. They were slightly bigger than a regular crocodile but their head was closer to a dragons and their legs were twice as long allowing them to run at speed up to 50 km per hour. They didn''t lose their ability to swim though and the elder hobgoblins could even ride them like surf boards across water. For the harbinger orcs their akubra would rank up into a drake at about 20 feet long plus another ten feet for the tail they were very strong. They would also get a man-eater bat which was a rank up from the seven colour bats. When the harbinger evolved his drake could then evolve into a chaos dragon. Chaos dragons have two heads and four wings and were massive. The chaor could ride it and not burden it in the slightest. They were black and had three tails all of which had very big spikes of


    Bone sticking out creating natural maces. If the drake is 20 feet long the chaos dragon was 80 feet with 35 foot tails. Both heads had big horn sticking out above their eyes. They couldn''t breath fire but they could spit acid and could breath under water to make up for it. The man eater would have to rank up twice during before reaching its stoping point as a purent bat, which had a five foot wing spa and could camouflage. For the kaosorus the chaos dragon would rank up to a hydra but it would no longer be ride able. It was at least at the raid boss level and about three hundred feet long. The purent bat would rank up to the death bat with a wing span of 10 feet and still their camo abilities they were perfect for attacking from behind while he attacker was focused on the two massive monsters.


    With the monsters done I took a break and again laid in the grass and planned out the classes I wanted to make. There would only be four classes I would make because they are very expensive to make.


    The first class would be chaos knight. Chaos knight would be able to command a small squad of chaos shields, the massive floating tower shields, and weird a sword. This class would have a class rank up available though and could rank up into a chaos paladin. Chaos Paladins were the same as chaos knights except that each paladin could summon their own set of custom armour that would double all of their stats Except intelligence and wisdom at the price of half their mana pool. They would all weird a mace in their right hand and a long sword in their left. Both would be soul bound and turned into growth weapons by me when they reached that stage.


    The second class would be chaos necromancer. They each got two types of unique minions that they could summon without needing bones. They each got a chaos staff that doubles their mana and offers increased control over minions.


    The third class would be chaos summoner. They start with one unique minion type and have a small chance at earning the right to summon other types of creatures after beating them in battle. Though they lose the right to just make random contracts with animals to summon them. Each chaos summoner also receives a chaos staff as well.


    The fourth  class was chaos commander. This class would command chaos monsters and minions in battle and was an excellent subclass. Each commander would be assigned monsters based on performance. They would all start with just them and if they have any then their summoned minions. Every mission added to how many monsters they receive for their personal chaos army.


    I also made a job, which is different than a class because you wouldn''t have the class artist you would have the job. THe job was called chaos monk, chaos monks were tasked with spreading chaos and building church''s and shrines dedicated to me.


    After finishing the classes and the job I decided it was time for me to go back to check out my crew.


    Wait.. How Can i be a god and a dungeon at the same time?


    <hr />


    Please send me monsters origonal or not because i can only come up with so many and i havent gotten a single comment or pm about it.

 chapter 20

    Matt pov


    Wait... How can I be a dungeon and a god at the same time?


    Maybe I retain control of the dungeon? Or do I have to make someone else the dungeon heart?


    Well whatever I guess we will see soon.


    And on that thought I left the space.


    After a brief flash of light I was right back to where I was before I got teleported to the space. In front of me was a message stating that I had to relinquish control of the dungeon to some one else, well of course I went ahead and asked Lana to do it,she was a fairly organized person and listened to orders well. She was hesitant but agreed after only a minute ,saying she could always make a dungeon lord if she wanted a body, though she did ask how it would be possible and what would happen to me. I simply told her to bring hunter and Gerald into the core room, choosing to add a little confusion for the fun of it. There was a timer in the top left or my vision counting down to what I assumed to be the time I would be kicked out as he dungeons conciseness and it would cease to exist. I set calt to be ready to dig and I summoned another worker. I also told calt that there would be someone else coming to run the dungeon and that it could no longer be me. He seemed distraught and confused until I mentioned it was Lana, he was still confused how it could happen but he wasn''t sad as he had talked to her before and liked her.


    While I was waiting for them to show up I looked at the monsters and imagine my surprise when I could see what the system dubbed growth potential. After asking help to explain I got this.


    Growth potential is the monsters growth rate, if the growth rate is 100 then the monster could crawl up the evolutionary latter very fast with minimal effort. As the numbers go down it gets harder and harder for the monster. If a monster has 1 growth potential then it will likely never evolve.


    After hearing this I immediately checked on the horned rabbit and found that his growth potential was a 76. A very high number by all regards. So I immediately took him into my god inventory, a near limitless space in which time is frozen. I plan to save him for a while until the dungeon gets bigger so he is less Likely to be killed. It sounds like an op ability but in reality it has so many restrictions on it it would never be useful for anything but holding something for a while seeing as it can''t be dropped down outside of 10 meters away from where I picked it up and I can be in battle and so many other restrictions it hurts.


    Shortly after all that Luke, Gerald, and Lana arrived in the core room. "Lana if you would please place your hands on the dungeon heart I can begin the transfer of your conciseness. After I''m done with Lana I can make Gerald a garter snake. I''d have Lana do it but It seems to be tied to my soul not the dungeon." After my little rant Lana placed her hands of the dungeon heart and I transferred her mind into while pulling out the part of my mind that had been running it. After that I must confess it did take me a few minutes for change Gerald to a snake and let me tell you it was super cool to watch his body dissolved and flowed into the gem he had as light particles before muscle and bone started erupting out with out sense for a few seconds before slowly condensing and growing the scales and eyes. He was big for a garter snake, nearly the same size as a cave snake. When I checked his status it said that he was a lightning variant garter snake. He had high lightning affinity and very high intelligence. It seemed that because he was a person before he was able to keep the system that allowed him to check his own status and have classes and jobs. It did clear his jobs and classes though so I offered him the chaos monk job and the chaos commander sub class which he readily accepted. After thinking it through for a moment I decided to offer him the chaos summoner class. He debated on it for almost half an hour, during which time I gave hunter the chaos monk job, the chaos commander sub class and the chaos knight class to over ride his own tsunami knight class. He was very happy and decided to go try his new classes in the forest. He made it all the way to the forest before he realized he didn''t have a weapon and came back. I used my god menu to summon him a regular iron long sword. I found it odd that he wielded it with his left hand despite him being right handed. " Hunter why in the hell are you using your left hand, it will only slow down your progress in hunting."


    The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.He responded immediately with " because like this I can get used to sword fighting with my left hand, this way my left hand for when I rank up my class and start using a mace. It impressed me that he thought so far ahead. I wanted all my top supporters to be a monster race but I couldn''t think of one for Hunter so I left it alone for now.


    By the time Gerald decided to say yes I was getting board out of my mind and had already talked to floating death about the situation. She said she was happy for me but decided to not follow me and to go live her own life. I gave her a siren as a parting gift which she seemed very excited about. After bidding her farewell I had returned to waiting for Gerald. I made sure to check on Lana but it seemed she was having calt and his new worker dig a whole new floor and add more corridors and rooms to the first floor.


    Finally Gerald was ready for the class and random selection of his unique summon. He accepted the class and immediately a wheel started spinning in front of him before stopping on a creature. Gerald summoned it soon after the selection and to my surprise it was humanoid. It stood about 5 feet tall and had blades sticking out from its knuckles,toes,elbows, and knees. It was a fast summon but a strong one. It could deal out massive damage but would die easily. Gerald essentially got a glass cannon summon.


    I was super happy with what had happened today, but it truth I wanted to make more chaos monsters!

 chapter 21

    Maxin pov


    I''ve been out to the forest a few times and gained a few levels but it''s really slow because I can only hunt low level animals with my tiny summons. Today I had left and decided to camp out in a cove not to far from the town. Not many people went this was because there was good hunting in the other direction where the boars were plentiful. It was dangerous though because we weren''t the only predators, the wolves had eaten many people and the alpha was a mini boss and an elite,effectively making him equal in strength to a boss level monster, with out actually having that title and the restrictions that came with it.


    I was nearing the cove when I ran into a guy with a sword fighting off a wild dog, half wolf-half dog(looks kinda like a shaggy German Shepard). He seemed to handle it okay but was riddled with scratches and cuts. It looked a little bit like he might lose so I sent in half of my force''s to help out. With the dogs attention on him it was quickly widdled down to low health so I pulled my minions back and let him finish the dog. Afterward he walked up shook my hand and said "hi I''m Hunter, thanks for the assist, and you are?" I replied with a smile on my face " pleased to make your acquaintance I''m Maxin".


    We talked for a few minutes, some of them about why I had such weak minions and not stronger ones seeing. As I was a fairly high level. I was a little embarrassed at first but I sort of owned up about my class restriction and he thought for a moment before sending a message and telling me to follow him because he might have just the thing I need.


    Matt pov


    It''s been fun exploring the God menu, I even found out how to give a minor blessing. I could give major blessings but they cost as much as summoning 10 dragons! It was insane, thank god(literally thanking myself) that minor blessings are cheap. I have already bestowed Gerald and Lana minor blessings. It made Gerald a little bit stronger but the crazy thing was when I blessed Lana the floor became smoother and the first floor nearly doubled in size! It was a huge power boost instantly and she even got the second floor as big as the first in terms of size but with less rooms because everything was bigger. I was flabbergasted at how fast it happened to it was... Godly. It took less than ten seconds for it all to happen. She moved her dungeon heart down to the last room. She said it even gave her double the mana. Some of the animals moved down but it was less than five percent because the first floor was now so big they didn''t need any more room. About a minute ago I got a message from Hunter saying he had Someone to take my chaos necromancer spot, I was happy for my first chaos necromancer but also a little worried that they wouldn''t be good for my expectations as the strongest necromancer, and also one of the strongest people who worked under me. I look forward to having one person work under me for each occupation and I hope that they lead those under them. Though it shall always be me who chooses what kind of monsters they get to work under them, seeing as I am well you know, a God.


    I had a talk with him and he decided to take the job to over lay his current necromancer job. For his unique undead he ended up getting a undead rhino, a regular zombie and a lich. I wasn''t very excited about the rhino or the zombie even go they had their uses, the thing I was really excited he got was the lich. The reason behind my excitement was that they generated their own mana and raised their own undead, even though they were an undead themselves. With them Maxin could make them and release them, we could corrupt them with dungeon mana and use them for bosses and such. The lich started out at level one and could only summon level one summons until they levelled up, so basically we could power level lichs and have a massive fighting force.


    I had Maxin summon a lich and release it inside of Lana so she could corrupt it with dungeon mana and take it over. It took nearly an hour for her to corrupt it despite it being a level one, I can''t imagine how hard it will be to corrupt a level 50 or higher. It killed most of the dumber animals on the first floor and managed to level up to level two, at that point Lana made a boss room at the end of the first floor and had the boss and his new 100 level 2 minions reside there. Another good thing that happened was when the lich levelled up it learned a spell, A very weak one but still it had a spell. Dark pellet shot a small dark ball at enemies, very weak but they could be fired very fast for next to no mana making it a great cover fire for the minions.


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.I was planing on blessing the lich but Lana told me not to waste my points on the first floor boss. All the while Maxin had been in the forest grinding levels using his new summons. And even a lich he summoned by didn''t release saying that the pro''s out weighed the con''s. The lich was level two already. During the time I blessed Maxin and gave him his chaos staff. For him he blessing doubled his mana and made it so that after he summoned his minions without bones half the cost would be able to regenerate instead of it all being reserved for the monster. After the blessing he summoned three more lichs and had two rhinos for them to ride on, after that he was spent if mana and told them to go level and kill things while he laid on the beach by the dungeon. It was very lazy of him and I loved it, after all my father used to say "work smarter not harder".


    After all the excitement was over Hunter went back to hunting, though I did summon 10 goblins to be in his squad so that he could get used to commanding, on the upside he got 5 percent of the exp they earned so when he took them hunting, between himself killing most of them plus the goblins killing quite a few animals he levelled up twice and finally broke level twenty which earned him a skill from the chaos knight class which doubled his defence for one minute, it was very good but the cool down was ten minutes so it wasn''t that op.


    Once my "people", and I use the term loosely because well they aren''t all people anymore, were settled I searched around the whole world, including the vast majority of it we didn''t know existed before the God of life told us. He would be opening the barriers next week, right before players started to be aloud in. After a few hours I found what I wanted, a mountain range in the shape of a circle, all over the mountains I put dungeons, all of them pest dungeons but still dungeon and made sure they all had one ogre as a boss to make sure they wouldn''t or easy and then gave them all some mana so that they would grow and attract more monsters. Inside the mountain range which was about 800km wide and 1700km long i found various monsters ranging from wolves to elephants and minotaurs and even weak things such as doves. I immediately took all the animals above level 20 and put them in the God storage. I left one village of koblobs at one end of the valley and another of goblins at the opposite side alone. In the middle I created a wall around a small pond and some trees, the walls was ten feet tall and had two gates at opposite sides. Inside the village I spawned in 20 goblins and 1 chaos goblin to act as a leader because it had higher intelligence. I created a shrine on the banks of the pond and gave the chaos goblin a low quality spear. Inside the wall there was many rabbits and a some hares and even a few horned rabbits. I left the goblins alone with info about how to open and close the gates and how to sharpen sticks into spears. It should be enough for them to start a successful village and they shouldn''t run into the other villages of monsters I didn''t destroy for a while allowing them to grow for a while in both numbers and fighting abilities. With this the village was done . When I was about to go back to my people I sensed something strange going on so I had to check it out.  It took me less than a minute to find the disturbance because it was so close, all the dungeon I made around the mountains to stop people from sneaking in had actually joined together creating one super dungeon, it wasn''t very deep yet but with all of them combined it was massive. So many dungeon hearts merged that the intelligence was already starting to form and it was having the ogres mate! I didn''t even check the genders but it appears I summoned way more females than males so soon there will be an ogre army to protect the village! This turned out so much better than I thought it would. I injected a little bit of demonic energy into the dungeon heart to stimulate variants in the future and the dungeon used its new rudimentary  to  to request that I leave it with some demons to work with. I was almost out of god points so I left it with 50 imps before i returned to my people.

 chapter 22

    Hunter pov


    In the past 6 days since I met Maxin we''ve become fast friends and even often go grinding together. I''ve reached level 30 with the help of Maxin and my goblin squad, of which none have died yet so I''m super happy about that. The one goblin even evolved into a chaos goblin which is awesome because now I can use him at a commander. Also they have all been givin their pets so the hunting speed has gone up and they can now hunt by them selves  as a party because they have a wide variety of skills, hell one of them even learned the skill hemotosis which heals minor wounds so they can basically go hunt by themselves. Matt also gave me quest two days ago with the reward being a skill book. It took almost twelve hours to complete the quest but the skill was awesome. It was an advancement in my chaos commander skills. It was the skill I got at level 25 I got the skill (tame) the same one tamers got as soon as they picked the class, making it so I could add to my own army. I spent almost a day adding monsters and animals to the army, half of them died already but those that haven''t are all way stronger now. I have 5 boars 7 deer 2 black bears and one grizzly bear. With the ranking system I was able to make them all listen to the chaos goblin and go hunt as a massive group. It was awesome cause they slaughtered the forest and even killed a few people. I wanted level up fast so while they hunted as a group I hunted alone.


    Currently the highest level in the game was 42! Which was a god like levelling speed because levelling was actually really hard. The highest in the town near us was 39 Maxin was level 37 thanks to the massive army of undead he commanded. Gerald even evolved into a cave snake(lightning variant) and was almost 6 feet long. He had already moved down to the second floor of the dungeon, which wasn''t so empty anymore because those Monsters and animals sure procreate fast. Lana has yet to have a single adventurer attack her because mine and Maxins groups keep killing them. Currently she said she had a present for me if I could get her a few presents. I was spending the day taming monsters for her, so Far I''ve got 11 wild dogs, 3 black bears, 4 owls, and 6 black widow spiders. I was taking them all back to give to her at the moment.

    I''m super happy because I''m ranked 12th on the leaderboard for the town nearest us. With my levels I currently have 7 lichs and 4 rhinos out levelling. One lich is level 7 three are level 6 and three are level four. The level seven is starting to get smarter and is using some basic tactics to organize the skeletons when attacking. Until they reach level ten they can only summons skeletons, at level ten they unlock zombies. I''ve just been letting them do the fighting while I work on spells. I''ve managed to learn two spells during the six days. One of them is the same dark pellet all the lichs have, and the other one is like a portal. It''s still weak so I can only teleport things 15 feet but still I can move troops around super fast in battle now.

    Tomorrow the players arrive... I can''t wait! With the influx of people I can do something about my low points. I''ve set up my own shrine in the town and few people have said a prayer to it. What I set up though is that they get a buff for an hour when they pray to me, +1% in attack damage, it doesn''t sound like much but people will still pray like crazy. I also set it up so that people who meet the requirements can get quests there, it''s all automatic but it should help me a lot.


    Hunter just dropped off a bunch of animals for Lana, in return she gave him 5 iron swords for his goblins. A okay trade but I feel like in the long term Lana will benefit more even tho the swords did take a big chunk of her mana.


    Also floating death came back! She didn''t stay long but she did trade me an awesome enchanted sword for another siren. She said she enjoyed teaching the first siren and wanted another one so it could have a friend. It was a great trade for me and I was planning on giving Hunter the sword soon I just want to give him a quest to get it so I don''t feel like I''m just giving things away anymore.


    Also I went to go check on my little village and I was very suprised to see that the numbers had grown already. The children were still to little to hunt but an extra 12 goblins will increase their abilities to hunt larger animals. Also the super dungeon had grown a lot and had goblins already and the imps had exploded population wise with the number reaching at least two thousand. They bred fast and  they were about as strong as goblins but they had a shorter life span unless they evolved. The ogres were already high in number reaching almost 400. There was were other groups of animals and monsters but none in large enough numbers to be worth mentioning.


    The next day...


    Matt pov


    Hah this is fun to watch. The new players are getting slaughtered because they keep trying to fight higher level animals. They don''t even know about the penalty they face. I''ve got a lot of points so far which is good. I even had 11 people taking the job quest to be a chaos monk which would only increase my power. So far I''ve been able to recoup the God points from building the shrine and giving out blessings. At this pace I''ll soon be back up to my original amount of points. I also am going to put shrines in a few other towns and cities across the world in order to get more points.

 chapter 23

    Matt pov


    It''s been two weeks since players started coming to our world. It''s been going pretty well honestly the highest level for people who live in the game currently is 65, in the village nearest us the top level was 63. For the players though the highest level was 22 and the highest level in the village is 21. It just goes to show the difference in levelling speed between people who live here and people who live on earth.


    I currently have 16 chaos monk players and a few people who live in the game, the players received rewards based on their actions while the, I''m going to call them the "lifers", all got passive abilities based on their actions. They didn''t do to much but it did increase my point intake by a fair amount, I''m almost back to a quarter of my original points.


    The super dungeon is huge and covered in so many types of monsters it''s insane, I''ve had it create entrances all over around the mountain and the surrounding plain, I was even able to rename it to be known as the chaos field, it didn''t do any thing but it should help keep people away from my village. The village currently has 40 adult goblins and 2 chaos goblins, the original and another that evolved into it, the original was still stronger but the upstart was smarter and had a higher growth potential, with it at a staggering 97. I was rooting for him as the new leader of the village because he would lead them smart, he even convinced them that they needed spears to hunt and that they should stockpile fire wood. It wasn''t a huge show of leadership but it was a start and a good one. I was planing on giving them their pets soon seeing as the pets could really help the hunting parties. Despite my attempt to keep them apart for now my village had met the kelioblob village at one end of the valley already. Kelioblobs are like smaller koblobs who are weaker.The kelioblob village didn''t have walls or weapons but they were as strong as a goblin and has superior senses allowing them to fight almost on par with the goblins as it is, the chaos goblins are able to kill them relatively easy. Well except the leader of the village, he was a koblob and was stronger than the chaos goblins, his strength just exceeding a regular hob goblin, that coupled with the better senses meant that it would take at least 4 chaos goblins to kill him or one elder hobgoblin. At the far end of the valley there was a village of lesser imps. I didn''t under stand how imps could get much "lesser" but it was a thing. They would be very easy for a goblin to kill but they bred at such a rate that it didn''t matter because they could just swarm. I was very worried for my village so I was going to do something I didn''t think I would so early. I was giving out blessings. Just minor blessings but I gave both chaos goblins a minor blessing as well as a skill each. The current leader got the skill trolls skin, which increased his regeneration by 300% and the hardness of his skin doubled, it should make him a decent tank for fighting against the koblob. As for the blessing it just made him a little stronger but a fair bit faster as well as making him three inches taller and growing spikes out his knuckles. I liked the spikes because typically those only start forming at the harbinger Orc stage and even then they don''t break the skin, his spikes already stuck out a half inch past the skin. As for my favourite the blessing made him a lot faster and a fair bit smarter, because of what his stats were I gave him magic skills because even when his becomes a close quarters fighter he will still be able to cast magic, I gave him both shock and also hemotosis because I saw how well it helped out hunters goblin.


    After these blessing I felt the current leader and my favourite could fight the koblob alone if it came to it. I didn''t want it to come to it yet tho I was hoping they had some back up so I dropped off their pets and went on my way back to Lana because I kind of find that area to be a sort of home for now.


    When I was lazily flying back instead of teleporting I got a message saying that a party of players had finally come to test out lana''s dungeon. In all honesty I''m not sure what took so long. They claimed to be there on orders of their God to destroy this dungeon. It was obvious based on their clothing and armour that their God was a light God or something similar. After asking the system as well as running through my memory I found out that their God was a c rank god of light who had the backing of two d rank gods one of tattoos, basically gives permanent buffs, and one of horses, it''s legit just horses and I guess what they evolve into but still just horses. I guess it was okay cause his servants got mounts and a few buffs. They were all considered average level at best but the tattoos gave them various affects, though most of them were just defence against mind attacks.


    I was super happy because currently Lana just didn''t have the mana to do to much any more with her monsters. But with the deaths of these 6 people she should have enough to complete some things she''s been wanting to do, like make a rank up for her bears into hind bears. The things that have evolved since I became a god was the centipedes because king centipedes which made them about 3 feet long and creepy as all hell. The crabs have a rank up to become emperor crabs, they are two feet tall and their shell is very hard. The horned rabbits have only one who has ranked up so far but there is a rank up to bicorn rabbits, they had double the horns and double the size with muscles twice as dense, they were awesome. The deer can rank up into holy deer which just makes them bigger and gives them a bonus damage against basically everything that wasn''t a light based monster. The iguanas have ranked up into dungeon lizards or even Komodo dragons in a few cases seeing as her lizards didn''t always have to follow the same evolution path as mine. The geckos also found a rank up, they can rank up into a iguana or they can become a giant salamander, which is still a animal, it can grow up to six feet long and was a omnivore, they were typically amphibious but they can live out of the water. The wild cats have yet to rank up but they are very close and the Owls already had a rank up but it just gave them abilities to sometimes see the future. The wolves evolved into timber wolves. Most of the bats are seven colour bats but not all. Every monster that was strong enough lived almost solely on the second floor.


    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.The party swept through the first floor with only minor injuries, but when they got to the second floor they got also lucky wrecked by all the stronger animals as well as Lana using the dungeon strategy "monster house" which means using different types of monsters all in one room. She said she got a nice boost in power and shortly after I saw both hind bears, one of the strongest first rank ups a animals can achieve and sabre tooth tigers. It was a massive power boost and I felt she could hold her own fairly well now.


    If this god, Elique, goes all out I fear that my people will not survive and will lose major levels, I needed to be able to defend my people.


    Hmmm it appears I will need some allies let''s check out the system.


    After searching for almost half an hour I finally decided on a god to


    Be friends with so I sent her a message asking if she wanted to be allies. God it went bad she flipped out and kept saying " I have a boyfriend " like chill I was trying to get some help not get in your pants. Any ways after that I searched through the male gods and found a dungeon God who was a b rank. He wasn''t the same dungeon God as before, that guy is s ranked. On the other hand this guy was very nice and willing if a little bit to uncreative. His name was was Len. He gets power when dungeon hearts he creates don''t die but he can''t spawn in good monsters to protect them so that''s where I come in I provide monsters and he gives any dungeons I create a boost as well as giving all my people a space. The space is basically a giant building so large you can''t see the walls when your in the middle and the roof is high enough that you can''t breath at the top, he said they could use it to store monsters, materials, and basically anything else. It was a good trade so I took it. I also ended up spending half my points just to equip a few of his dungeons. After that was done I spent a whole bunch of point summoning goblins for Hunter and Maxin as well as a bunch of iron so that they could set up workshops in their space and start creating equipment for their monsters. I also gave Hunter another 20 goblins, he had managed to grind all of his old goblins into chaos goblins and so now they needed subordinates so they got two goblins each as well as whatever animals he gave them.


    I wish I could just cast spells and blow things up in the world but alas I can only create, and destroy things I create. It''s rather unfortunate.


    On the upside I was talking to Gerald during the raid and he says he can now also summon bears and 7 colour bats. They weren''t very strong but they were cheap so it was okay.


    I also gave the special sword to Hunter, the enchantment was 5 percent life steal which isn''t awesome, but he also get 4 percent life steal from pets, which his army counted as so basically as long as he maintains a large force and they are fighting he''s invincible unless he gets insta killed. I didn''t make it a growth weapon yet because that''s for when he gets his class upgrade.


    Maxin also got one of his lichs up to level 12 and three of them up to level 10 which added some good Shields for him to work with,he zombies, by now he had 13 lichs working under him, the army total was something like 390 skeletons and 40 zombies.


    After the long day I decided to summon some monsters for a special project... I hid them away as good as possible. I also put shrines in many towns.


    I also made some monster evolutions but that''s a story for next time...

 chapter 24

    Elique pov


    That damn chaos God Matt killed my followers. It''s a good thing those were some of my weaker followers but regardless it can''t go unpunished. I think next time i''m going to send three giant berserkers  two Elven archers and a human Mage, they should have enough power but just to be sure I''m sending a owl bear with them.


    I can''t wait to see what he does when I kill his little dungeon.


    2 weeks later...


    Matt pov


    It''s getting kind of boring being a god. I want to spice it up so I''m going to do something big.


    I''m going to build a city.


    Of course it will be a holy city and I have to do something super racist because of it but I want to be fair so I''m making it that humans who aren''t my followers can not enter.


    Pretty cool right? Yeah I thought it was a good idea because humans are super racist and speciesist. Of course tho I want it to be mostly monsters and magical people''s. For the city I plan on using a mountain about 100 kilometres away from there my goblin village is set up. That way I can have the village supply the city with warriors when needed.


    It had to be massive to accommodate monsters of all sizes. With streets of smooth cobble stone for both strength and ease for the carts that would probably be rolling on it. It needed flying mount stables as well as accommodation for monsters that can fly but are intelligent, such as dragons. A huge crafting sector for monsters and people to get equipment.


    It was surrounded by good hunting grounds and various other mountains. The dredge race had a large population in the area and I intended for them to build the city. Well I guess I''ll pay them but I don''t really know what they like...


    The only problem was the tribe of arrogant grawl. The ape like people were high in number and had many warriors. It was going to take... More power than I currently had to dispose of them.


    So I''m going to take up some forbidden magic in order to do it.


    No nothing that destroys unfortunately, I tried that, I can not learn destruction magic. But I can learn mutation magic and it does kill. But it''s technically not a battle magic so I can learn it.


    It''s called the vell, it steals life force from one creature and transfers it to another, which results in mutations. Like if someone was wearing armour against their bare skin it would fuse the armour to them and it would be apart of their body, making them a monster. It''s highly dangerous but I think it''s bad ass. It will make my followers who are human not human if I use it on them though. It will draw a lot of hate to me from other gods tho, mostly weak gods trying to make a name for them selves. No one over c rank would trouble themselves with a small bit of forbidden magic. Now if I was to release a horde of people who could use it I would attract attention of people much stronger than I. Hell really old b ranks can destroy everything I have right now easily, just because I''m a young god. Most other gods have a whole country for themselves. I want a country. I''m taking the mountain range. It doesn''t have great farm land but with most everyone being monsters and magical we can do with less vegetables and what we do need can be grown using magic.


    So on a different note that God, Elique sent more followers again. They even brought an owl bear, sad tho that its strength is only on par with hind bears. Otherwise it may have caused some problems for Lana. Her second floor currently has almost 100 rooms, it''s massive and I''m not sure why she hasn''t made a third floor yet.


    The super dungeon is so big that I haven''t even seen it all. Having a core crystal that large Makes it work very fast.


    Also my village has a third chaos goblin now with many close to ranking up. The lesser imps seem calm when they meet the goblins but the Kelioblobs are downright hostile. Their numbers are only slightly larger now and I think my village would win in a fight but the losses would be heavy so I''m not starting anything just yet.


    I also created a few fleshreavers. They use corpses to create their own body as well as create off spring. They grow by eating other creatures. The strongest is currently level 120 with the weakest being level 4 the height difference is over 12 feet. The wingspan on the strongest is almost as big as a jet plane. There is currently only three fleshreavers. They are camping out side Lana because they ate the entire cemetery. I plan on using them to help fight the grawl, whose average level is 50. The chieftain is level 150 which would normally be a problem but by the time we get there all the fleshreavers will be around that or higher because of animal and monster corpses that attack us. I was preparing a small surprise of murlocs and skales to attack them. The skales had a frog like body with a massive sharp spine and a flat face filled with ferocious teeth. It cost me a lot of points but 100 of each were hiding in the forest below the mountain ready to strike. It was a suicide mission but they could hopefully take out some infrastructure and spread chaos, as well as kill a few grawl if possible.


    I currently was having Hunter lay down in the ground and there was a dragon core laying on his naked chest above his heart. I was planning on doing his mutation first because he has taken on a leader position among my people. In order to do the mutation I had Lana send out 3 hind bears and they are just laying down sleeping. The process was hard but after a quick yes from Hunter I began. Light of all colours, but mostly brown and red flowed into Hunter and as it did he started to glow, to the point I couldn''t even see him anymore. I couldn''t stop the magic now though because it would almost surely kill him. I could feel the life drain of of two of the Bears completely but the last bear was still putting out fire mana.


    And with a final surge the bear died.


    By this point I couldn''t see anything but hunters shape.


    And it was not the same as before.


    With a final blinding( not to me of course) flash the, now red, light was gone. In place of Hunter there laid a monster. It was about 6 inches shorter than him and looked to be made out of dark grey stone with veins of lava running through out its body. It had small wings on its back that, presumably, would not allow for flight. When I checked hunters level it had jumped by ten, putting him as the highest levelled person in game. His race also also changed to become a draconoid (lava variant). He didn''t get to choose where the stat point went though it seems that they all went straight to endurance. Surprisingly enough he didn''t lose any agility. I had Maxin move his limp passed out body to the side. Or well I guess he tried and ended up having some skeletons do it because Hunter was to heavy.


    If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.Maxin was up next to be mutated and when he laid down he placed a iron golem core above his heart and a mana crystal on the other side of his chest. He placed minotaur horns on either side of his head and two more eye balls on his forehead. He also strapped a shield to each arm.


    Because we now know what would happen better he was adding more things to make him stronger. It would also take more power tho so we had a hind bear, the level 70 flesh reaver, a level 10 lich of his, and I was even able to summon a lesser infernal, tho it took about as many points as a dragon. The lesser infernal was 40 feet tall and made of countless bones twisted together. It had a fire ball floating in its chest and was a level 300 monster. Maxin was going to be bad ass.


    The magic started and the amount of energy going to Maxin was a lot more than than what had gone to Hunter. Majority of the energy was dark energy and Maxin was covered in a dark light. Weirdest thing I''d ever seen and I currently am a God in a fantasy world, so that''s saying something. It took twice as long to complete this mutation but when it stopped Maxin was 20 feet tall and made of a huge number of bones. He no longer had flesh but he had a massive head and four eye sockets with black flames in them. He was covered in a armour of what appeared to be shoulder blades. On top of his head rested massive horns tipped with crystals. When I checked his race it was the greater noble lich and his level was almost 200! He was a power house. His physical stats were were almost twice that of Hunter and he no longer had mana. Wait no mana. Oh it got replaced with essence. It''s like 1000 times stronger than mana but it does all the same things. He had exactly 1000 essence.


    Monsters really do do it better. He also gained a few skills including but not limited to mass create undead and unholy blessing. He could create massive amounts of undead and they would all be elites. I was going to mutate Gerald to but he wanted to wait until he was larger and could do a better mutation.


    I didn''t really know how to do Lana so I just left her. I also let the level 4 flesh reaver eat all the corpses. Boosting him up to level 110.


    I was finally a force to be reckoned with. At the cost of almost all of my points...


    Regardless I was. I left the passed out monsters in the care of Maxins head lich who surrounded them with some archers and swordsman.


    Maxin had spent all the money he gained from loot to equip his ever growing army.


    With the head lich nearing level twenty he was almost sentient and was a good leader for the other lichs.


    I teleported to the dredge capital and flew around looking for the leader. It only took about five minutes to find him and two to argue with him about the price. He was an ass hole. I think I know a better way to mine out the mountain at a much cheaper price...


    By the time I made it back, after checking my village, I found that Hunter and Maxin were both awake and getting used to their bodies. I told Maxin to load his entire army into his space as well as the fleshreavers and I told Hunter to hop in as well. Then I used all but three of my points to teleport Maxin to the only entrance to the dredge capital.


    Then the army attacked. The flesh reavers ate many but it was so insignificant in the grand scheme of thing that it didn''t matter. Maxin did something that I''m not sure is genius or stupid... He used 500 essence to bless his lead lich. The lich instantly evolved into a greater lich and is level 65. He could now kill almost any player because monsters are just stronger than people. The only reason people have a have a chance is equipment. Well when you give monsters equipment they become deadly, or uh deadlier.


    With the new strength all we had to do was wait for it to be over. The dredge managed to kill a few level ten lichs that were wandering around but that was it. They got swarmed so badly by all manner of creatures that they died quickly. It wasn''t a great fight though because by the time they killed all the dredge up to the castle almost all the undead we brought were dead. I may have gone over board and killed every single living being in the city. The flesh reavers were both over level 220 now and they flew effortlessly on their big rotten wings.


    It was time to take the castle. All the dredge soldiers in the castle were level 70.


    It was Time for the big boys to fight. Maxin and Hunter strolled towards the castle along with the level 65 lich.


    It was like a force of nature hit the soldiers. Maxin sent dredge flying and shot spells out and Hunter was very accurately sending heads rolling with his sword. The lich reanimated all the dead to fight.


    It took them about three hours to clear the castle. With that all the dredge in their main city died.


    But then Maxin reanimated them all and set them to work on the mountain. Of course he did send protection for them. He created a lich and then blessed it with his last 200 essence bringing it up to level 25 instantly.


    With the issue about about the city mining sorted I simply claimed this is a holy city so that only people and monsters affiliated with me can enter unless they kill the guardian. Which currently is going to be all of Maxins lichs and their left over troop except for the level 65. With that the boys started their walk to the mountain and I signalled for the murlocs and skales to attack. It will take Hunter and Maxin about 4 days to reach the mountain because they are building the army on the way there. I''m about to receive a lot of points...

 a new chapter

    Four days later....


    Matt pov


    The army of dredge was currently sitting below the mountain. They wouldn''t be fighting though because when they were reanimated they all dropped about 15 levels and they didn''t stand a chance against the grawl. In order to combat the grawl Maxin and his head lich currently had over 700 undead of various races including zombie, skeleton, wraith, and mummy.


    The fight will most likely kill most of the undead because the grawl had a groups of spell casters that specialized in large number attack and defence. They each had a class that allowed them to control minions, of the five classes I only knew of one of them. They were as follows, necromancer, golemmancer, plantmancer, puppeteer, and brood master. The golem mancer could turn dead things into golems and then command them. The plant mancer could grow minions or turn regular plants into monsters and control them. The puppeteer was the weakest because the grawls tribal like culture did not afford him what he needed to build the automations that he controls, meaning he only had a few small minions to control. The brood master could turn living things into mindless beasts of ice which he could then control.


    The grawl had only recently acquired these classes after the attack I launched a few days ago and only had weak minions so far but it would still take a hefty chunk out of my forces. I regret sending the attack group 4 days ago because they prepared for more attacks and gained some classes. The grawl were not stupid, simply primitive.


    With a thought my army attacked. Maxin grabbed one of each flesh reavers legs and they flew him in. Maxins mission was to take out the chieftain. For this task I had given him the flesh reavers and they were fully his minions now. The scary part was that there were both level 250 and maxin was 195. The level average for the strike groups was 232. It was insanely over powered for the task I had given them but it was necessary because the flesh reavers had a trait called mating pair. They received a 40% buff to all of their stats while they were within 10 km of each other. The insane buff was offset by a 50% reduction when they were farther than that apart. They had started to make their horde or family if they were living. They were raising 2 reavers. Both were already level 80 thanks to Maxin blessing them. They had the same trait but I couldn''t risk them fighting because if they died the original pair would no longer "have"(build with corpses) baby reavers do to a trait they have. Flesh reavers are odd because of the large amount of traits they have surrounding family. Very few other monsters had such things and it lead to large groups of them if given time. It was also kind of weird because they are genderless.


    In the middle of the fight I all of a sudden got a notice about a situation I had set up. My village was under attack.


    I rushed there and I saw something I didn''t expect. My village had 7 chaos goblins. 4 more than there was a few hours ago. They were also fighting against 2 koblobs. The fucking lizards just couldn''t wait. I was fine with it because they were getting absolutely destroyed. Both the koblobs and the Kelioblobs were being destroyed by groups of Wooden spear wielding goblins. The chaos goblins were using some basic strategy and had the koblobs cornered against the inside of the wall I built around the city. Which i could tell had been scaled by climbing up trees leaned against them. They were just keeping them in the corner while my favourite shocked them repeatedly. The battle was very fast resulting in a large defeat of the koblob and Kelioblob forces with only a few escaping. After the fighting the chaos goblins started knocking down the trees while another three goblins started to evolve. Seeing it was handled I went back to the future site of my city and wasn''t surprised to see all the grawl had been killed. I was surprised to see that Maxin had chosen to reanimate less than half the population, what I had to admit was still 1000. The other dead went to the young flesh reavers bringing them both up to level 175.


    I think the thing that surprised me the most though was the class stones. I didn''t even know that they existed but apparently they became a drop when the 5 grawl died. I could use them to give someone the respective classes even though I wasn''t the god that made the class. The god this tribe of grawl worshiped was weak, a mere d rank. I wasn''t that worried about her being mad.


    On a different note the defending grawl gave me a idea. I have Hunter and Maxin a blue print of what I wanted the city to look like before I turned my focus to watching people. It was very stalkerish but I needed certain things.


    1 month later...


    Matt pov


    It''s taken me a month but I have found who I need through stalking er... I mean watching people. 3 girls and one guy caught my attention for who to give the class stones to. They all agreed and has managed to meet up and start camping near lana. They were all levelling their class skills and gathering a army. They were all over level 80 and had excellent tactical minds. Loyal too.


    Plantmancer:Sarah


    Golemmancer: terra


    Puppeteer: Grace


    Brood master: Hugh


    They all had their space loaded with monsters. So far.


    They were currently inside of Lana because she was doing something big. She was moving to the mountain and I was using her for cheap transportation for my new defenders, or at least most of them. The fifth defender was A level 100 lich I had Maxin create and bless. He currently controlled the grawl army as well as some other monsters that had been killed.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    There was currently 6 flesh reavers and they had been hunting fast. The first pairs were level 340, 310, and 250 respectively. They were op. But to get this far they had to kill two towns. I am kinda worried that about the retaliation that is going to come soon from the hylek. The frog people worshipped a sun god and had numbers in the thousands for their army. The average level was 40 but they had some hylek champions. They were all level 150 and there was 50 of them. The army is moving towards my city already. We don''t currently have many things living here but we do have a population of just over 3 thousand kodan and 2 thousand charr. Standing at ten feet tall the polar bear people were good warriors with most choosing plate armour, they were also very religious meaning lots of points for me. The 9 foot tall felines known as the charr were a warlike species where everything is about victory and everyone has a part in the war. The kodan average level is 100 and the charr''s is 120.


    So currently I have just over 5000 residents in a city that can currently support 300000 and it''s still just in the mountain not even below it yet or building on the surface.by the time the city is finished it should support a population of around 6 million. I could make it bigger but then the environment wouldn''t be able to provide enough meat for people( I use the term people loosely) to eat and for people to train. At that point I will have to expand my country. I also have a tribe of ogres that wanted to live in the old dredge city. I was letting them because whenever one of them dies the lichs get a strong minion. It was one of the largest ogre tribes for over 3000 km around so they had numbers in the 10000''s they didn''t want to live with other races tho so the own that city now. I''m also happy because they pray often.


    I have enough points to summon 10 infernals or 25 lesser infernals. I was planning on doing something my points for a new string of evolutions after I gave my 5 defenders a present. So I went ahead and did just that. I gave the level 100 lich ten ancient yellow bone skeletons. They grew as they ate bones. He had them eat every single minion he had... They all ranked up and now he has ten destroyer skeletons. They all stood 15 feet tall and are black. They are very strong but it''ll be hard to rank them up again because what he just did allowed them to skip from a rank 2 monster straight to a rank 6 monster. For hugh I gave him a drake. It was pretty cool looking when it was made out of just ice. It also brought up his chances for stronger minions. He can turn anything below his level to an ice brood. It doesn''t work if they are stronger than him even if he could kill them with his other minions. The drake was level 150 tho so it was weak for a drake but not that weak over all so it should speed up his levelling. Another interesting fact is that he wears heavy armour despite being a non physical class. For Sarah I gave her three packs of sylvan hounds. The wolf like plants could help her keep her growing plants safe. For Grace I gave her 10 basic humanoid automations, they could have parts added and then their race would change. She could use them for anything she wanted right now. But it seems she made them all something I wasn''t expecting. Builders. They are equipped to build more automations. Slower than a person would but still she now can grow her forces fast. As for terra I gave her 3 copper golems that were all 13 feet tall.


    With the rest of my points I decided that I wanted to make a evolution that could fight in the sky''s so I made a Griffen monster family.


    For the basic it would be a gryfowl which would be house cat and owl and after that would be a hawk and saver tooth wild cat so it would be about 3 feet tall. After that would be a Griffen. After the griffin came the hail storm Griffen which was twice the size and could control wind and some water magic. The final evolution would be the falling star griffon. It stood 15 feet tall and could use wind water and fire magic. The falling star griffin was sentient and should reach this evolution around level 350.


    Just as I finished the evolution I received a message from Hunter.


    " hey Matt we might have a small problem..."


    I rushed over to where I could detect he was and what I saw surprised me.


    A group of draconoid stood out side the entrance to the mountain. They were asking for the "stone skin warrior" which I assumed to be Hunter. I didn''t really trust it but he had his troops here and with over 50 chaos goblins and their pets backing him up I didn''t think they could do anything. Either way I was ready to summon some back up should he need it. The draconoids got on their knees and started pleading with him.


    After a few minutes of listening I basically learned that they wanted Hunter to be their leader. Draconoids usually Aren''t sentient but they are smart monsters on par with trolls for smarts. From what I could pick out of the conversation a lich had killed the rest of their village and they wanted revenge. They had seen Hunter hunting and wanted him to lead them against the lich because he was strong. Hunter was level 115 while the average level for the other draconoids was 80. In all honesty Hunter needs to be stronger.


    After the draconoids got situated in the mountain I had Hunter lay down and I gave him a lava golem core to hold and I summoned 2 Falling star Griffins. One went up to the look out and the other one was asleep when it was summoned. I used the vell and it did wonders for Hunter. He evolved twice and became a level 210 greater draconian of the apocalypse. He was 12 feet tall and was a fucking tank, high health, strength, accuracy, and decent speed made him deadly. His wings made him mobile. And he was in his last evolution until he get reborn at level 1000 and becomes a roaming mini boss monster with a level cap of 5000 at which point he can be reborn again and become a roaming boss monster. That is very far away tho because the strongest monsters on our mountain range at the moment was a level 700 elder dragon. Thankfully it was at the far end so we won''t have to fight it for a long time.


    Speaking of levels Maxin is level 220. After looking around I found the lich that wiped out most of the draconoids. He is actually an elder lich so on par with my one defender and also on par with Maxins head lich. Difference is his level is higher, sitting at a crisp 165. I just had Maxin send the flesh reavers in because even the weakest is way stronger than the lich and all the bones will help them grow.


    I gave Maxin a very large under ground cavern for him to... Experiment... With the vell. Yeah I kinda did that...


    I still had a large amount of points leftover. So I did something I''d been wanting to do for quite a while. I started hitting on goddesses.


    Three goddesses to be exact. One s rank, and two c rank. Goddess of monsters is s rank, the other two and goddesses of demons and ritual summoning.


    Maybe having some lady friends would help me get what I really wanted. More power.

    The hylek are camped below the mountain now. Wouldn''t be a big deal if not for the fact that they got reinforcements. 100000 ant men are also camped out with the 40000 hylek. Their average level was 40 but with so many of them the low level may not matter. On the upside I gained 10000 gnomes as residents of my city. They weren''t very good at fighting but they were excellent crafters on par with the dwarves which might not be a bad thing because they can outfit my people with good gear and weapons.


    I''ve made it a rule that everyone who can fight is expected to fight in the cities defence and everyone else is expected to contribute. My city won''t be about coming to live here and make lots of money. It will be about gaining strength and living without worrying about surviving the winter or other such problems.


    I''m also starting a project to build more strong generals. I''m going to take a level 1 skeleton, dog, cat, dirt golem, armadillo, garter snake, and lesser imp. They will all be put in their own dungeon that is 100 floors deep and all the dungeons are identical. They start off super weak and get stronger each floor. The thing is that I gave them a trait called stacking growth rate. Let me explain, each monster doesn''t get to pick where their stats go it just happens are usually in greater numbers that a human, elf, dwarf, or anything else players usually play as. So for monsters each time they evolve their growth rate gets better. But with these monsters their growth rates stack. So if their first evolution gets +2 in strength normally and their second evolution gets +3 then at their second evolution hey will gain +5 strength. It will make them incredibly strong but it will still take time because I can''t use the vell because it will turn their growth rates to 0 for everything. The first floor of the dungeon is only level 1 mice and the boss is a level 3 elite mouse. They should be fine. I''ve also toggled it to make them take the most possible evolutions before their final form.


    The second floor is level 3 rats with a level 5 elite rat boss. Third floor is level 5 rabbits. To make it faster just remember bosses were always 2 levels higher and a elite so I''m only going for to list the monster and level for the rest. Floor four was level 7 hares. Floor five was level 9 horned rabbits. Floor six was level 11 dogs. This floor was meant to make sure that they all reached their first evolution which should be at level ten. Floor seven was level 13 wild cats. Floor eight was level 15 warthogs. Floor nine was level 17 wild dogs. Floor ten was level 20 skritt (bipedal raccoons), the would travel alone at the start of the floor and progress into Larger groups of up to five by the end of the floor. This floor was almost three time the size of the other floors and the boss was a level 25 black bear. These are all the floors that are finished right now but I think it''s safe to let them go because that''s a lot of space to cover even if they just ran all the way to the end and didn''t have to fight monsters, it would take probably 2 days of constant sprinting for the dog which is the fastest right now to reach the end.


    After I let them go I watched for almost three hours switching back and forth between them watching. It didn''t surprise me that they all finished the first floor in between 1-2.5 hours and all gained at least 2 levels after they finished the boss, three in the case of the armadillo. They were surprisingly fast at clearing an entire floor(which you have to before the boss and pathway down will appear), then again I may have just over estimated the mice.


    I think I''ll make a few more floors now watching the speed they are going. Floor eleven had level 23 feral rats. Floor twelve had level 24 noble rats. Floor thirteen had level 26 lone goblins. Floor fourteen had level 28 green goblins. Floor 15 had level 30 gremlins. I was very happy with the floors so far because they would cause my future generals to grow in power or sit there and do nothing.


    After I checked on the future generals one more time I went to the top of the mountain. After I made sure everything was right and everyone was there I said the line I had worked on for an entire 3 minutes. Yeah I am horrible at speeches. " bring it down". Then Hugh had hundreds of ice brood birds swoop doe and start eating the ant men. Then the boulders started rolling down the hill. Almost 20 of them, each one a golem controlled by terra. Smashing though their encampment and destroying their tents and supplies while crushing any hylek who dare stand in the way. Some of the trees surrounding their encampments started walking in and smashing hylek and antmen to a pulp. Sarah''s doing. Then the totem pole the grawl had set up up here started to fly away. Before rocketing down and obliterating hylek champions.


    Well that was fun.


    I had been planning that for just over a week because it take a lot of time to get that many birds, make that many treants and golems, and learn how to fly a freakin totem pole with that much speed and accuracy. I was proud of my newest guardians.


    I was also happy with the way my new kinda girl friends had been assisting me, they made the stackable traits possible.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

    So in the past week Maxin has summoned some demons using a summoning circle that was a gift from two of my girlfriends. There''s 1000 of them, only male so far because they want to make sure the area is safe before bringing their wives and children through the portal. Their average level was 300! They looked like normal humans but they were covered in blood red tattoos and their eyes are entirely pupil. The only thing they were worried about was the elder dragon at the end of the mountain range so they were asking Maxin to summon a plated behemoth to fight it. Trouble was is that the amount of mana and other ingredients needed for the summoning is insane. The level 800 armoured giant bone demons were 80 feet tall and op as fuck and should be able to kill the dragon with very little trouble because they have similar growth rates. We still needed a few more days before that was possible.


    All of the new generals have evolved now into a wild dog, wild cat, gravel golem, giant armadillo(about three feet tall), greater imp ( he evolved twice already), monocled cobra, and a skeleton swordsman they all were at level 12 at various places along so far. The noble rats weren''t much of a challenge because they didn''t have any real weapons, their only advantage was that they were almost as smart as the new generals, smarter in the case of the gravel golem, and they traveled in groups. I needed to make more floors honestly because they are clearing the floors with deadly precision.


    Floor 16 will be level 32 brown goblins. Floor 17 will be level 35 red goblins. Floor 18 will be level 37 cave bears. Floor 19 will be level 39 scar bears. Floor 20 will be level 40 grawl, who will wield nothing but I can''t control their group size. So this floor will force the new generals to be smarter and not just fight hard. Or at least I hope so.


    With the amount of points I have right now I built a 300 foot tall wall around the entire mountain. It won''t keep out the flying races by it should keep out the annoying little monsters.


    I can also see a legion of human soldiers marching towards me but I think I''ll leave that to Hunter for some levelling. After all they are all level 115-130 with the general being a level 175. These shouldn''t bother him at all as long as he has some back up.


    Hmmm what to send....


    Oh I know I''ll send a greater infernal, at level 500 it can breath fire because of the fire in its chest so it should be able to deal great crowd control.

    The dragon went down easy and Maxin raised it as a Skeleton after the flesh reavers ate all the meat, it level dropped to 450 but it''s still a strong monster and it''s big enough that the plated behemoth asked if he could use it as a mount. Very powerful pair.


    All the new generals evolved again also which is awesome. They evolved into a wolf, Lynx, stone golem, lighting spike armadillo, fiend, giant cobra, and skeleton soldier. They were between levels 30-37 and were on the 14th-16th floors. They were all as strong as something above level 55 because of their trait but with this first contingent doing well I think I should start on the second contingent. It will be made up of level 1 lizardling,another lizardling, scarab beetle, crab, queen ant, and sparrow. I did give them all 1.5 time size for till their first evolution which cost a few points but it would allow them the survive and the floors will provide loads of experience for these weaker monsters. I don''t trust that they would be fine at their normal size because they have a high chance of getting killed in their first confrontation. Especially the queen any who Relies on her children to kill everything. She just to weak at the start because the ants she pushes out would be to small to hurt the mice without decent numbers. With the queen being bigger her children will be bigger allowing for them to deal damage better. All of the exp goes to the queen because these are just drones and not lone ants.


    I need a few more Floors so floor 21 will be level 41 radioactive warthogs. Floor 22 is level 42 snow apes. Floor 23 will be level 43 conga. Floor 24 will be level 45 aptonoth. Floor 25 I intended to freeze the first group and pair them up with a partner. I have yet to decide which with which. For floor 25 it will be level 55 hob goblins equipped with wooden spears. I also set it so that the tunnel size will change depending on the creature to make sure they can still fight after they get larger from evolution.


    Floor twenty five sets up my war pairs . Right now I have on war pair and that''s Maxin and Hunter, one large scale battler and one 1 on 1 fighter. I plan on giving all the new generals a trait. Unbreakable friendship will guarantee that they work well together with their partner. I they won''t have reached sentience yet so it shouldn''t be a problem.


    After the hob goblins they should be strong enough to handle some stronger monsters so floor 26 will have level 57 earth goats, they are three times the size and can raise play forms so that they can jump higher and faster. Floor 27 will have level 60 soldier skeletons equipped with a long stone sword, I want my skeleton general to have a weapon he won''t break while fighting the next floors monster. Floor 28 will have level 63 Rock Bulls, who have a very strong composition. Floor 29 will have level 66 lesser Devils. Floor 30 will have level 69 thunderous gorillas, who can slam the ground creating sound waves that will send the generals flying if they don''t dodge it, other than that they are a little stronger than a regular gorilla and that''s it but the strong pushback/ area damage skill is the first of its kind that they''ll see so I''m excited to see what happens.

 the last one. ever.

    With my new generals training I decided to play some of the mini games available to gods. The games are against other gods and give you skills that can give you the edge. I don''t know how to fight with a sword, and I was an average shot with a bow on earth so I won''t win anything in those games. The only thing I had any skill at would be the dungeon games but they were really hard. Like almost everything wanted to eat your core and you couldn''t corrupt animals as easy, like even a common brown spider would take a few days unless it was a baby. Basically it was a large waiting game with anyone getting anything bigger than a dog being a absolute power house. You get mana when things die like normal but you also get mana from things living in you. You have to defeat other dungeons to gain skills but everything had a "mini dungeon" which would only allow one species to live in it. Like say an ant hole would be a mini dungeon. Also everything was a gradual evolution with every enemy you kill, or your animals kill, the killer would gain strength and slowly Changes would occur instead of all at once. There also wasn''t levels for dungeons but a strength rating of 1-1000 every extra point was twice the strength of a dungeon one point below it. You didn''t get a prime and dungeons had to be dug out with mana at a outrageous mana price. It was basically stacked against you but the entrance fee was only 1000 points so it didn''t mean much to me and should be a fun way to get to build dungeons even tho I''m a god.


    So with the mental press of a button I was teleported to a alternate reality where strength was much harder to obtain. My starting point was thankfully in an ant hill, the ants were weak black ants and I only had ten but the queen was pumping the ants out at a decent pace and it should only be only a few days until they hatched so I made the room 6 inches tall and 10x10 inches, almost doubling the size before making three more rooms with the last one being three times that size so the queen would have plenty of room to grow. With the lone soldier ant killing the worms and the worker ants taking care of the queen and eggs they then had a stable supply of food for a few days. Because of the killing the lone soldier ant grew from 0.2 to 0.3 inches long, which might not sounds like much but with the first ants always being smaller it''s not a bad size, and all the worker ants are his old size now so the defence against worms is easier.


    With my start set up I checked the real world to make sure everything was okay, which it was. Before focusing on the dungeon again. I didn''t have much mana left after the room but I channeled it into the queen making her 0.5 inches long which should help with creating more, bigger eggs.


    The constant worms being killed after coming into my territory was giving me more and more mana but it was taking a long time and I had it be pretty focused to make sure they were takin down with out any of the ants being hurt so I sent a message to Hunter to make sure that the new generals training was going good and I was able to give him the power to choose the monsters that would come on the floors because I was busy and so was pretty much everyone else. So he was the best choice, because he''s been training a whole bunch and is probably the most skilled general, or even being, in my city despite him not having the highest level.


    After that I just waited and watched as the ants slowly grew with each kill. The tunnel system and room system was slowly expanded by the workers while I carved out a 10x10x6 foot room and connected it to the first ant room using a runner before closing off the original opening and opening up one of the same size into the massive room which I had the workers put half the worms in.


    One day later...


    The ants are all larger now with the soldier being 0.5 inches and the queen being 1 inch, the workers were only 0.3 but it was all that could be expected because they didn''t kill many things. The first eggs had hatched into larvae and we''re slowly growing but it''d be another day or so before they became ants fully and even then they still wouldn''t be fully grown. But I needed them to hurry because a colony of Pharaoh ants had been making raids on my large room food like which is supposed to attract bugs and make them stay not steal my freakin bait. I wanted to wage war against them but I dot. Have the numbers yet even if they are less than half the size of my ants.


    I also have some moss starting to grow in the corner of the big room but I didn''t have any herbivores it eat it so it was just slowly growing and waiting. I did however have some fire beetles eating some and hey slept there last night so I''m hoping that they slowly get corrupted and become mine because some of the big ones are an inch long. They would be a good addition to my forces because they have tough exoskeletons. They stayed away from the pharaoh ants because of their numbers but with time they may be forced to attack because the pharaoh ants were surprisingly aggressive, despite their soldiers being the size of my workers now. I can only guess the size of their colony is in the 1000''s because they haven''t sent more than a few hundred workers, and because the gestation period is longer out side of a dungeon by a very very long time the colony is probably only 5 months old. I did have only fly come in and lay eggs but most of them got eaten and she got killed by pharaoh ants so I don''t have much hope for that batch of flys.


    One day later...


    The ants are finally old enough to help the colony and with the 200 workers that are only 0.2 inches long and the 10 soldiers that are 0.4 inches long the ant colony tunnels expanded drastically and they got much more food but they still didn''t have to numbers to challenge the pharaoh ant colony, which was located so close to my dungeons big room that they built a entrance right beside mine. The first soldier ant was already 0.7 inches long and was defending the entrance to the ant colony single handed my from the pharaoh ant workers and soldiers that wondered in, providing me with a little extra mana for me, but nothing I could really do anything with because all of my starter mana was gone and I haven''t gained enough back yet to add more rooms.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    The queen was 1.1 inch long and and she was still pumping out eggs very fast. In another day or two I should have enough ants to take over the Pharaoh ant colony if nothing goes wrong.


    Two days later...


    Well something did go wrong but not super badly in the end. The original soldier got injured in battle against 8 pharaoh ant soldiers but he didn''t die until another soldier cut off his head, he didn''t seem sad though and it brought the new top soldier and up to 1.1 inches long. The queen was 1.5 inches long and didn''t really move very much any more because her size didn''t allow it so now she just pumped out eggs. The average soldier size now was 0.5 and the average worker size was 0.3 and with 600 workers and 40 soldiers.


    The 8 fire beetles have come under my control to but they aren''t worth risking in the fight so they won''t be helping. I was wrong to assume I''d be ready by now I need more ants to do it.


    Because I couldn''t take on the pharaoh ants I searched what was around my dungeon that I''d need to conquer before expanding and adding another real room. I found a nest of 3 moles and a colony of carpenter ants that was very young, they only had about 100 workers and 5 soldiers but the smallest of them was bigger than my largest soldier. I didn''t have the power right now but I should after I destroy the pharaoh ants. But that''s going to need another day.


    I also need to get this new room for more worms because it''s gettin tight food wise in my ant colony.


    One day later...


    To attack the pharaoh ants I created a tunnel right into the pharaoh ants first room and sent in 3 soldier ants and 40 workers to basically just kill as many as possible in the colony and leave.


    Only one soldier came back but it was 1.1 inches long just behind the biggest that was 1.2 inches. After that I sent in 100 workers to take all the eggs from the cleared rooms and bring them back to the main room where they were protected by 10 soldiers ants and 50 worker ants. After that I simply sent in the rest of the soldiers and 800 workers. They tore through the best killing any enemy hat started to gain more strength and then they captured the queen and it took 6 soldiers to drag her back to the main room before I could claim the mini dungeon that was her colony which gave me a good boost to mana and then I had them put her back in there and put the eggs back before they left again because we didn''t need to guard her because she can''t walk and anything that''s hatched now or pushed out would be easily corrupted by my influence and wouldn''t help her escape all they''d do was feed and protect her.


    After all the fighting there was a whole bunch of dead bodies for food and I now only have 30 soldier ants left but the smallest is 0.9 inches and the largest is 2.1 inches. Which is good but the biggest soldier carpenter ants are 1.7 and the smallest is 1.2 while the workers are about 0.7 inches. They were enormous for ants but with my stronger force they would be easily destroyed so after a few minutes to rest I sent in all my soldiers Except the smallest which is guarding the queen. I also send a worker ant that had killed a supposing amount and was 1.5 inches long.


    It didn''t take them long to do the same to this colony as the last one because of the smaller numbers, I didn''t loose any soldiers though because they were all used to fighting while these ants, though similarly sized, didn''t have the same fighting experience.


    After the fight my largest ant was 2.5 inches long and the smallest was 1.1. This was a serious power increase.


    I also used the mana I got to create the tunnel to the next room.


    2 days later...


    Today I got a few questions from Hunter but I ended up just having him skip a bunch of levels because the new generals weren''t having trouble in the training dungeon anymore. The next monster that was put in was a level 80 gryphon, which are pack animals but with the partners they should be fine. Each general is getting paired up with another general the pairs go as follows. Dog and cat, crab and ant queen, sparrow and scarab beetle, skeleton and golem, the lizardling''s got put together because they took different paths, one is on the wyvern path while the other looks like it will be massive but stuck on the ground. I was going to do teams of three but the snake died so I had to break it up differently.


    I also had Maxin send the flesh reavers out again because we needed to be stronger. They went after a city of humans which had a population of just over 5 million. I think it''ll turn out well.


    With the army doing good I went back into my dungeon.


    I was surprised to see that the fly eggs that didn''t get eaten from before had hatched and the larvae were eating in the middle of the giant pile of food. I instructed all my bugs to not eat them. I even gave each of them a little mana to help speed up their growth, they should be able to mate within another two days. I also closed off the entrance to the pharaoh colony from the out side. I was also surprised to see that the moles had raided my dead body stock pile. They were about 7 inches long though and were beyond my capabilities to take over and would result in heavy casualties if I tried to kill them head on. So two pharaoh ants per each mole went up and tried to climb in their ears, only one pair succeeded but that''s still a massive step for me. I did have to leave the body there because i could not pull it back without risking my soldiers. I didn''t have any carpenter Ants under my control because none of the eggs had hatched, so I couldn''t even use them to do it. There was some bullet ants past the moles but they were well out of my league in terms of power, seeing as there was over two thousand of them and they are the largest ants in the world.


    One week later...


    My dungeon is going good, the moles are currently being hunted by an army of pharaoh ants and the bullet ants will soon be taken over.


    I''ve had shit luck though because I made the entrance to my dungeon bigger and it''s attracted many more beetles and bugs but I get daily raids by a feral rat. It was way stronger than I could take on at a full 2.5 feet long. I tried setting a trap for it but I just crawled out with ease. It doesn''t hunt my bigs just takes the dead ones from the pile.


    I also got a small family of bumble bee bats that are living in my dungeon, tho they have yet to be corrupted. They''re all about an inch long because they are the smallest type of bat. They didn''t eat to much but they did cull the over flowing population of flys that had sprang up lately.

 the future...

    I have decided to stop writing this story seeing as how i had no plan for it and its very shitty. I will however treat it like a learning experience in order to improve my future writing. i have a lot of idea''s for both the virtual reality as well as the apocalypse story and i have a hint of an idea about cultivation but i felt i should throw it in there despite my lack of concrete idea''s.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    As for everyone who did actually like this story im sorry but thank you for sticking with me despite my over all behavior as an author.
