In fact he loved it, he Loved crafted complex stories with secrets And backstories that his players didn''t find all the time. It was a bit upsetting that they didn''t find the secrets, but his players loved the stories and the games he ran. Always put a smile on their faces .And that''s what kept him going that''s what made him get up every day. That''s what gave him the strength to fight for every little bit of money he could scrounge up. to get that next book or new fangled D&D thing came out .

You are far less Limited than all of the other dungeons. The way they granted you the ability to circumvent the dungeons system Yet let you still use it is by partially turning you into a god. What you need to know is you can just create You will have all the mana and dp you will need. You will have instinctual knowledge on how to create anything and everything. You will be limited in the first few floors to what you can create as there needs to be a slow progression of power that is all¡± ¡°Ahhhhh that hurts like a motherfucker God damn it¡±. ¡°You may experience some pain¡±. ¡°Yeah I figured that out. That would have been good to know a minute ago. That it hurts like a bitch still I hope it goes away .Ooo that''s a lot of things I know how to do. Can I take a nap till this goes away.¡± ¡°Do you wish to hibernate until this pain goes away?¡± ¡°Yes. obviously¡± ¡°As you wish.¡± Thellmanina Thell: ¡°I have to do what.¡± Rowan: ¡°You have to go to shuko one of the undeveloped Islands and check in on it. It''s your first mission. What were you expecting from Your first mission, a Grand Adventure? No it''s a simple reconnaissance mission now please go do your job. I have more people to deal with¡± Thell: ¡°okay okay go.¡± one hour later Thell: ¡°alrighty then crew we''re doing a simple reconnaissance mission to an island called shuko nothing big y''all got it.¡± Crew: ¡°yes captain.¡± Thell: ¡°alrighty then Navigator Mason chart us a course to shuko.¡± Mason: ¡°aye captain.¡± One month later Thell: ¡°how far away is this island we''ve been traveling for a month.¡± Mason: ¡°Well it''s on the edge of our territory it should take another 2 weeks.¡± Thell: ¡°Goddammit ok this is exhausting.¡± If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Oliver ¡°Well that was weird. I guess I should get on with building the dungeon. What to do I''m thinking the first floor will be a maze of rooms. That''ll be fun. Oh, I can go with a hidden world aesthetic that would be nice. So I probably want a lush cave system with a lot of stalactites and stalagmites. I should probably add an ecosystem. Oh what about creating a giant room where I can have an ecosystem where the monsters will breed that could be really fun. Let''s start with the big room¡± I use my mana to carve out a big room. I then create a complex Maze of rooms inside the room. I fill the rooms with stalactites and stalagmites along with vegetation and a basic ecosystem. I then fill the outside room with a bunch of the same. I add rats, bats and spiders at the top of the food chain in this room. And create a dungeon rule that lets a certain number of monsters pass into each room. Filling up the monster capacity. I make the monsters inside of the rooms drop meat and bones with spiders having the occasional Silk and Venom sack. ¡°That looks nice now on to the story of this place.¡± I place a human skeleton impaled on a stalagmite in the first room. his clothes worn and tattered making it look old in his pack there were 20 old copper coins and a journal page. pageOne We have found a Cave opening in the side of the mountain it is overflowing with mana we believe that it is a dungeon pretending to be a cave system we first encountered some rats then some bats in the passage ahead we decided to double back and set up camp we are planning to explore the Dungeon and claim it ¡°I feel like that sets up some intrigue now let''s create a few Secret rooms.¡± in one room there is a massive bush under the bush there''s a stone next to the base of it. if you push the stone a hole will open up and you drop down into a room full of vines. with a singular giant bat that can control the vines .when it''s killed it will drop a cloak of gliding and a life steal dagger it has page two of the journal in another room there''s a pond and if you swim down to the bottom of the pond and through a bed of seagrass you will find a Tunnel. The tunnel leads into a room that has a snake in it the snake drops a dagger of poison you will find page 3 of the journal there Once those mini bosses are defeated pages four through nine will appear in a random room. in one room completely normal there is a stalactite when shifted. It opens up a room. This room is an old campsite. Page 10 is found hidden. In the campsite if certain circumstances are met those circumstances being the Bodies that are found around the dungeon being buried there they will gain a prize . page 11 is found in the lowest part of the dungeon where a trapdoor spider makes its nest there. When they defeat the trapdoor spider they will gain gloves that let them climb on the walls along with a pair of boots that lets them walk silently. the 12th and final page is found at the highest point of the Dungeon. where a rat makes its nest the broodmother, Who commands all rats defeating her and getting the final page. you will gain from the rat Queen a rat company of Shadow. once all pages are collected and the team that finds all the pages defeat the first floor boss the next floor shall have its story unlock. ¡°Well that will be a mystery for them.Let''s create a I don''t know outline of the story anyway let''s make this creep¡± 12 pages 12 lost souls find them all to unlock the truth One is given freely while plants Hoard the second water obscures the Third numbers 4 through 9 are lost while the 10th is kept by old memoirs and below the dungeon the spider lies Hiding the 11 in the 12th seeks to be free of this place place find all 12 set all of the souls free and you may discover the secret that this place hides this message is hidden within a stalactite in the first room of the dungeon. chapter 3 Thell Thell : ¡°We''re finally here God damn it this was exhausting.¡± Mason : ¡° Could have been worse.¡± Thell: ¡° How could it have been worse. We did nothing, not a single thing. there was nothing to do, it drove me absolutely insane.¡± Mason : ¡° who could have been set on by Pirates or sea monsters or any number of things. Will probably need to stock up on games. Cuz I''d hate to see what a 6-month Journey does to you were literally banging your head against a wall at one point.¡± Thell : ¡° That''s fair though I''m glad it''s finally done. Now let''s get this over with. We need to Fan out and search the island for anything.¡± Anna: ¡°Wait hu ho hu There''s abnormally High Mana readings hu ho hu ho I ran all the way up here everyone be careful and you have to be in groups of five that''s the rules for if an island has abnormally High Mana¡± Thell: ¡°Shit okay you heard Anna everybody groups of five no less make sure you stay safe.¡± Crew: ¡°yes captain¡± Three hours later Thell: nothing we''ve found, absolutely nothing. God damn it we will have to search ourselves. Anna get ready Mason go grab Arthur and sailor.¡± Mason: ¡° Call the captain, I''ll go grab them.¡± Anna:¡±Do we really have to go looking ourselves.¡± Thell :¡± yes we do you''re the only one that can sense mana at a capacity to search for something radiating mana. ¡± Anna :¡±ok¡± Ten minutes later Thell: ¡° all right guys we have to track down the source of the Mana. The crew couldn''t find it so it must be somewhere hidden. So Anna is going to track it down and we are going to protect her, do you all understand?¡± Crew: ¡°yes captain.¡± Thell:¡±Good anna Track down that magic.¡± 20 minutes laterThe author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Anna:¡± this is it it''s all come from here that is weird and worrying should we go back. ¡± Thell:¡±no and I can see how people missed it it''s all coming from that small crack in the mountain¡± Anna:¡± yep¡± Thell :¡± well let''s head in¡± Arthur :¡± are you sure that''s a good idea All of you could get hurt. ¡± Thell: ¡°well we have to find out what''s causing the mana so we have to do it¡± Arthur :¡±Ok stay behind me I''ll protect you.¡± They walk into the cave to see opens up into a lush room. Filled with bushes, Vines ferns and all manner of plant life. Stalactites and stalagmites litter the ceiling and floor; the mana is dense. There''s a path leading out of the room glowing Moss litters the ceiling creating light. On the biggest stalagmite a body is impaled skeletal no flesh remains on its bones. As its raggedy clothes cling to its frame a satchel closed but not destroyed is the most notable part of the body. Thell:¡±well fuck Everybody in formation. Arthur tanking Duty I''ll be on damage, sailor cover our rear and provide range support. Anna, you stay in the center and do Mage things.¡± Arthur,Anna, Sailor :¡± yes captain¡± A rat suddenly jumps out at Anna Thell Then skewers the rat with her Rapier. Thell :¡± remember be careful let''s move forward.¡± they all work for it towards the skeleton but no rats jump out at them. they get to the bag on the skeleton and inside they find 20 old copper coins and a ripped note from a journal. the note reads. We have found a Cave opening in the side of the mountain it is overflowing with mana we believe that it is a dungeon pretending to be a cave system we first encountered some rats then some bats in the passage ahead we decided to double back and set up camp we are planning to explore the Dungeon and claim it Thell:¡±Well fuck it''s a story dungeon the most annoying but Very lucrative.¡± Sailor: ¡° What''s a story dungeon?¡± Thell :¡± they are dungeons that have stories Incorporated into their floors.they often come with good loot if you solve things a certain way or even if you create interesting stories that no one has done before. and then their are the Lore dungeons they have an ongoing story through all the floors ¡± sailor:¡± I see that makes sense. ¡± Thell:¡± they also often create secret places where the story is told so keep an eye out for hidden rooms.¡± Anna sailor Arthur:¡±got it. ¡± Oliver ¡°wellI got some pretty interesting delvers. Plus I got some good information. I think I''m going to be a mix of story and the lore dungeon. At the end of the starting story I''m going to have it open up into a town. With a bunch of floors jutting out of it and you have to complete all of them to get down to the next town. That''ll be fun,now let''s watch them.¡± Oliver continues to watch them as they go through the dungeon. Taking on the Monsters with relative ease. They are disappointed that they don''t drop coins but Oliver is saving that for the later floors. And doesn''t want to break the economy. They finally turn around and head back once they exit the dungeon it immediately resets. ¡° You know what, I''m going to add something to tell them when the dungeon floor resets.¡± On the ground in front of the dungeon is a simple green go and a red stop. With the one that is active slightly glowing to indicate it. ¡°Let''s get to work on the next floor.¡±
