Tyler didn't have anything to compare his stats with so he didn't really know how strong he was. The only thing that he was sure about was his name, that he had 500 spirit points and gear that were given by the goddess. He also knew that Rank G was the lowest rank since the dungeon was recently created.
He found 4 tabs that were titled Dungeon Shop, Inventory, Expansion, and Map. He clicked on the shop that brought him to another screen. The shop screen had more tabs that were labeled Traps, Skills, Monsters, Equipment, and Utilities. After clicking on the Traps tab he a list traps appeared.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
NOTE : More traps will be unlocked after dungeon ranks up
Tyler looked at the rest of the list that had its data full of question marks "looks like I won't have much to choose from until I rank up, but that brings up the question. How the hell do I rank up?". He walked up to the mirror and looked into it "Hey goddess looks like you might have forgotten a few things, like how I'm supposed to rank up or begin the production of mana which at the moment is at 0. He waited for a response but none came, he tried it again yelling this time but the results were the same. He just shook his head and gave himself a slap in the face "focus Tyler don't lose it again, you have to make sure to know what you have to work with".
He sat down again and checked the skill tab. He was happy at what he saw but when he saw the warning and prices he couldn't help but get disappointed.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Warning!: Skills of current rank can be purchased but can't be used until the dungeon is ranked up in order to begin producing mana.
Lightning Arrows
Cost to learn: 300 SP (Spirit Points)
Mana consumption: 20 MP
Produces 20 arrows made out of lighting. If the arrows don't kill the intruder then he will be electrocuted and slowed down for 3 seconds. After becoming lord of a higher-ranked dungeon the number of arrows will be increased but the consumption of MP will too.
Fire Wall
Cost to learn: 200 SP (Spirit Points)
Mana consumption: 15 MP
Produces a wall of fire 5 ft long and 8 ft high. Effective against creatures that have fur or are plant-based. Wall will last for 10 seconds. After becoming lord of a higher-ranked dungeon the size of the all and duration time will be increased but consumption of MP will too.
After skimming through a list of about 15 available skills he moved into the Monsters tab and was surprised by the large number of monsters that he saw. At his current level, he could buy about 12 different types of monsters. Many seemed strong but they were also expensive, in the end, the ones that caught his eye the most were undead monsters since they didn't need to eat.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Skeleton Swordsman
Cost: 50 SP
Level: 1
A dead warrior that will be loyal too it's summoner. Can understand basic commands, it's one of the weaker species of Monsters but after leveling up to level 10 it can evolve into Zombie Swords Man.
Skeleton Wolf
Cost: 50
Level 1
An Undead Wolf that understands basic commands. Its true worth is demonstrated when it's part of a pack. After leveling up to level 10 it can evolve into a Zombie wolf. Its speed and power are increased and it will also be able to track down its prey using its sense of smell.
Wraith
Cost: 1000
Level 1
A ghost undead that understands complex commands. It's unaffected by physical commands and good at moving undetected. After leveling up to level 10 it can evolve into Reaper, allowing it to summon 5 spirits that died under him to help in battle.
Tyler looked at the wraiths definition and his with a greedy look "hahaha looks like once they level up they can produce free ghost". The bad thing about it is that they cost twice the amount that he currently had, he also didn't have any idea how long it would take for them to evolve he could only assume that evolving monsters wouldn't be that easy.
After looking at the rest of the tabs he found out that he could get basic armor, weapons, and some mining equipment that he would use to expand the dungeon since it was going to cost him if he wanted to use the expansion tab. He was also able to get dungeon walls and food from the utilities. The map tab also allowed him to map and detect any living thing that was 10 ft outside of the entrance and all of the interior of the dungeon.
Tyler purchased a wall from and placed it at the very end of the dungeon. The description of the wall stated that he would be able to modify it so he wanted to know-how. He touched it and began trying to mold it with his hands but it didn't work, he tried saying "Modify, Change, Mold" because he thought back at how the status board worked. In the end, he tried to focus and think about modifying the wall almost immediately.
After letting out a sigh, then he placed another wall at the entrance of the cave which had the soundproof and yelled at the top of his lungs "Goddess why the hell not just tell me that I can do things like opening status with just my thoughts" he was pissed because he was trying to mold it for what seemed like hours.
After messing around with the wall he found out that once he removed a wall it went to his inventory. He was also able to make a wall temporarily disappear and then appear using the map. He found this function helpful and placed the wall in the entrance again cutting any dangers from the outside. Now that he was done messing around with the functions he began inspecting the dungeon.
It was 50 feet long from the entrance to the dead-end, 7 feet wide and 9 feet high. After looking at it, Tyler noticed that he could actually see inside the cave, he had forgotten that he blocked off the entrance meaning that there was no light, and yet he could see the cave as if the sun was hitting it. "Do I have night vision because I'm a demon or because I'm the dungeon's lord".He moved the wall that he first modified at the end of the tunnel 10 feet forward. The room at the back was going to be his for the moment. Each wall was 50 SP so he had 400 left. He went into the store and purchased 3 skeleton swordsmen.
The skeletons had more use than the wolves since they could battle and do manual labor like say use a pickaxe and expand the dungeon. He bought some pork meat for 15 SP and went toward the room that he made in the back. After placing the meat in the corner of the exterior of his room he bought and paced another 2 walls making a room that was 6ft by 6ft. He made the walls disappear for the moment but they could appear again whenever he wanted to. Tyler removed the wall in the entrance and went towards his room at the back closing the entrance after he and the skeletons were inside. "Let's see if this works, we have bait 'check', a cage 'check', now all we need is a hungry carnivore," he said as he laid down looking at the map.
