The journey through the dungeon proved to be shorter than I had hoped. The floor was filled with nothing but Wyverns, their sharp claws and piercing eyes a constant threat. We navigated through several pitfall traps, careful not to fall into the deadly depths below. Poor Dan wasn't so lucky, succumbing to some of the acid traps that littered our path. But it was for everyone's safety - I could always bring him back if he died.
Despite these obstacles, we pressed on and came across numerous chests filled with treasures: books, weapons, armor, and piles of gleaming coins. Our golems back at home continued to evolve and improve, but even with their advancements they were no match for my trusty trio of subordinates. The abundance of food, water, and resources from the dungeon sustained us on our journey.
And then, on this day, we finally reached the boss room. As we entered, our hearts raced with anticipation and trepidation. And there it stood before us - a massive Elder Ice Dragon, its icy blue scales reflecting the light in a dazzling display.
Elder Ice Dragon
Level: 75
Behind it was a large crystal which I assume is the dungeon core. When the dragon looked at us it was startled and began to speak.
"What are you?" The dragon questioned me.
"If I could answer that I would, but sadly not even I know."
"I see, I have been in this dungeon for thousands of years but have never seen a being such as yourself. Now that you have entered however even if I know I will be defeated I will fight you all regardless to defend the dungeon." It tried to sound menacing, but failed to do so.
"I was going to fight you regardless of what you said, but I have no plans of destroying the dungeon. I just want to 'move' the dungeon somewhere else." As I said this the dragon looked puzzled before speaking up again.
"What do you mean by moving it? That isn't possible."
"You will find out after we defeat you." Before the dragon could speak again we charged the ice dragon at full force.
The mighty dragon didn't stand a chance as we all struck it simultaneously - me, Elaine, Dan, and Lydia. Our weapons glinted in the sunlight as we rained blows upon its scaly hide. The beast let out a deafening roar before succumbing to our assault, defeated without even putting up a fight.
But instead of simply storing its corpse, I had a different plan in mind. With my powerful skill, Revitalize The Dead, I could bring this creature back to life - but not as a fearsome dragon. No, I had found the perfect vessel for my magic. As I yelled out the name of the skill, my three subordinates instinctively backed away as a bright blue light enveloped the dragon's body.
The room was filled with an otherworldly glow as the light swirled and pulsed around us. And when it finally dissipated, what stood before us was not a dragon, but a well developed woman. Her hair, eyes, and skin were all a beautiful shade of blue, with small dragon wings protruding from her back before retracting back into her skin. I couldn't help but be amazed by this transformation. Quickly, I used my appraisal skill to learn more about this mysterious woman before me.

[Clan Member] [Apostle Of Nemesis] [Subordinate Of Nemesis] [Elder Dragon]
"My name that has been bestowed on to me is now Mary Nightmare. This Elder Ice Dragon has been reborn into a Nightmare Ice Dragon by the Great Being Nemesis, and I hereby swear loyalty to you who have graced such a lowly dragon with a second life." Before anyone could react she asked a question.
"Master Nemesis I would like to ask a question as to what you plan on doing with this dungeon?" When she asked that I just said something simple and everyone almost fainted in surprise.
"I'm just going to move it into another dimension and develop it myself for training." When I said that all four of them ran in front of me and stood with eyes shining with expectations. After they did that I waved them to move out of the way and moved in front of the dungeon core.
"Hey P.D., is it possible to move the entire dungeon inside the dimension if I take the dungeon core?" When I said this I received a quick response.
[Yes that would be possible. When you touch the crystal imagine moving it inside the dimension and it will be placed in an area near the mansion. Also when you do this the next time you exit the portal outside the dimension you will go to the original entrance of the dungeon inside the forest. Also one more thing I should mention, Pocket Dimension has leveled up to level 3 and a new species has been added to the available races to choose from called Nightmare. You can also create more advanced golems.]
As I was processing what my pocket dimension told me, I touched the dungeon crystal, moved the dungeon, then another screen came up.
[ You have gained control of ancient dungeon core No.132 and can give it simple guidance as to how it should build its dungeon.]
A smile floated across my face as I read the screen before taking everyone to the gate of the mansion. When we arrived in front of it I received a similar reaction to one I got a while ago.
"God, no I mean Master Nemesis, is this the home I will be residing in from now on?" When Mary asked that question I nodded and she fell down into a dogeza position repeatedly bowing her head up and down to me. I stopped her before it became excessive. Now that was a reaction I didn't expect, but then again at the time, Dan didn't have much intelligence before, so I guess he didn't truly understand the worth of the mansion, otherwise he might have done the same thing.
"Master Nemesis I have a small request if possible. Is there a way you could make a shrine near here?" When she asked that I pondered and found out that I could.
"Why do you wish for a shrine to be made?"
"To worship you." (Mary)
"I'm sorry?" I asked, stupefied.
"To worship you." When she said it a second time I was about to say no because of how painstakingly embarrassing that would be but then Elaine, Dan, and Lydia started to join in. I guess I had to take my role even more seriously since I didn't realize just how much of an impact it would have on my companions/subordinates.
