Chapter 10
Core: DAMMIT! WHY HAVEN'T WE LEVELED UP?!
*He's agitated because it been 2 weeks but now they aren't leveling up*
*Oh right. After, what they (the humans) now call, "The Heart's Rage", the dungeon has been constantly attacking everything within its range. A dungeon only has so much territory to use on the surface, but thanks to the new expansion, this dungeon has now become the world's biggest dungeon. It spans over the entire continent now, allowing the dungeon's residents to attack the land. The trades routes have been disrupted, monster hunting has stopped, due to every animal within 4 miles either died, or ran, VERY FAR. So of course, it's disrupted the diets of the entire continent, as the farms near the foot of the mountain were very fertile, and so most of the continent's food came from there. Not to mention, because of the huge eruption, a thick cloud of ash and dust has enveloped the continent, affecting the population's breathing of the flora and fauna. This single dungeon has single handedly affected the entire continent...so naturally its levels have gone up, as even weaker things died just because they couldn't breathe, namely plants. After a month, all the plants have died, and nothing can be shipped in, as everything takes time, and the time it takes is enough to affect EVERYTHING that tries to come through. Every continent has declared this a national problem, despite not being able to stop said problem. Oh yeah, it's the same both ways, as the dust and flying ashes are THICK near the ocean, so anyone who tries to leave, suffocates, and if they jump off the boat...they drown. Either way, no one makes it.*
Core: Seriously, after level 10, there's been no changes, why?
Lavan: Because you only have two monster types, you need more...and by the way, the troops are getting antsy again
*After the raining doom, the aftermath has allowed the wolves regularly hunt on the surface, in fact, a lot of the forces are on the surface, as the volcano has mostly been hollowed out for monster spawning. Every inch of the volcano now serves as a breeding den, for wasps and wolves alike. Speaking of which, two more queens have been summoned as well, so the wasps have tripled, and the wolves have only grown since then*
Flamey: (Sir reporting, the troops have been getting antsy; there's not enough food to feed our population)
Magni: (Not to mention, the humans have been nothing but BORING, trying to run every time we ambush them, and sometimes they escape! I suggest we up the number in the hunting parties, that way they can't escape)
Core: Permission granted, now Lavan, what do you mean by more?
Lavan: Well sir, the dungeon now needs to evolve, which honestly has never happened before. And our gods have granted you freedom to have whatever type of monster you wish; it will be adapted to your needs. You need two-
Core: I want worms and fish; I want underground superiority and a new hunting ground. Thanks to this new skill I got at level 7, if one eats, we all eat
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hive
Allows the Core to share stomach with its residents, allowing hunger to be no existent, unless there's no prey.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Lavan: This worm is fine, but the fish...
Core: We got a one-time skill remember? It allows the dungeon to move, Relocate? We'll just move somewhere with water, there's an island at the center, right? Let's move there
Core: (OUTSIDE VOICE): RECALLING ALL TROOPS, DOUBLE BACK, WE'RE MOVING
*(In French accent) Meanwhile*
Male Adventurer: They won't stop! Our exit has been barred! Merchants, its seems we've failed you
Old Merchant: It's fine, this is the risk we took coming out here
Young Merchant: Death is still scary though
Female Adventurer: It was nice traveling with you while it lasted
Hardy Adventurer: Man, I'll miss yall. Maybe we'll meet again in another afterlife
Male Adventurer: Maybe
???: RECALLING ALL TROOPS, DOUBLE BACK, WE'RE MOVING
*The hunting party stopped and raised it's ears. After listening, they started booking it, back, dazing the group...one comes back, a younger wolf, jumps towards the nearest person and rips off a section of their arm, and bounds away*
Male Adventurer: OW, FUCKING ASSHOLE
Female Adventurer: It's fine, it's the least tribute we can pay to leave
Old Merchant: We must hurry back! That must've been the dungeon, if it can move, this is bad. We must warn the Empire immediately
Niima: Uuuugh, its been FOREVER, when are we going to attack again?
Hero 1: Soon, soon. Actually, later this week. Uuuuuuuuuuuugh, call me when you don't want to keep sitting on your ass *she trots away*
Hero 1: *You think I wanna sit here? If it wasn't for this useless king, we've moved already* Okay, you rest up
Hero 3: She has a point-
Hero 1: *pissed* I KNOW, I KNOW SHE HAS A FUCKING POINT! CAN EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT?! THIS IS HARD ENOUGH TO ARRANGE, I DON'T NEED A BUNCH OF CHILDREN GOING "ARE WE THERE YET?" EVERY SINGLE TIME-WHAT!?
*He bends over, listening as the soldier whispers in his ear*
Hero 1:...Call Niima back here, and gather everone together
Hero 2: Why? We movin yet? *Snickers*
Hero 1: Yes
Everyone:… WHAT?!
