"Congratulations," I hear echoing all around this vast room. My focus immediately shifts to the seven-headed hydra, but I don't believe it was the one speaking. My gaze travels upwards to the massive dungeon core, which is as large as my sauna.
"You're a quick one. Some who have made it this far never even consider that...
2023-08-21 17:13:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe battle was as brutal as ever, with constant close calls that would have been nerve-wracking even to seasoned veterans. But they all had an iron column to support themselves in the form of Rich, who never once gave an indication that they might lose this fight.
In Rich’s mind, however, things were different. He kne...
2023-08-17 12:12:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe room shook from the roars of the five-headed hydra as they welcomed back their last head. The battle resumed immediately, but the red head was now a lot more caution with its attacks, especially when confronting the pesky insect-like adversary it was up against.
The five party members grew concerned; their initial s...
2023-08-16 15:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe plan was devised, and we executed it swiftly. As soon as I gave the signal, Adam activated one of the scrolls we had acquired. He managed to cover the top half of the monster in the burning acid, but the substance wasn't potent enough to break down the tough skin of the cyclops. However, it did induce panic in them, causi...
2023-08-15 17:59:42 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as I opened my eyes on the 98th floor, I sensed that this floor might be our last floor of the dungeon. Moments later, I heard curses around me. "At least it isn't a water floor," Adam remarked, only to receive a punch on the shoulder from Horus. "Don't even joke about that," Horus retorted.
The size of the ruin...
2023-08-15 17:58:55 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Vespinax launched his attack after finishing his speech, he unleashed a lightning attack that spread throughout the entire room. It would have required a significant amount of my energy to defend against, but there was a simpler solution. The attack only electrified things on the ground, so I jumped up, making myself as ...

I was growing weary of this research path. Perhaps I should set it aside and revisit some other research I haven't touched in a while. How long have I been trapped here? My usual method of telling time doesn't work. My connection to the outside world is severed; all I have left is my research. Even this has...
2023-08-10 12:03:20 +0000 UTC View PostI began by claiming my territory. The expansion to define the area for my new floor was straightforward, but I felt compelled to make myself whole, so I filled all the gaps in my territory between the floors I had.
I pushed myself to the very edge of the mountain, but I didn’t extend my territory beyond it. The primar...
2023-08-10 12:01:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been 20 minutes since we arrived at floor 96, and we were already feeling the pressure. At first, we thought we might have stumbled upon an easy fight, as we were seemingly battling goblins. They were ranked two, but they didn't feel too strong. However, as soon as we attacked them, things took a weird turn, then becam...
2023-08-09 10:07:49 +0000 UTC View PostWe continued to descend, but progress became increasingly challenging. We were getting lucky in finding boss rooms. However, it wasn't just the bosses that posed a significant threat; even the regular monsters began to deplete a significant portion of our resources.
The more worrying part was that my taunt ability was b...
2023-08-08 08:45:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe world plunged into darkness. I heard Adam cast a light spell, and Horus tried to light a torch, but none of these seemed to help us see. Even with my eyes, nothing seemed to appear before me. As I continued to switch around my vision and try different combinations, hoping to find something that worked, Horus was trying to...
2023-08-07 08:20:54 +0000 UTC View PostWe began moving slowly at first, trying to stay as hidden as possible and avoid making any noise. We needed to reach the entrance of the building before anyone noticed us, as fighting our way in would make everything much more difficult, especially if more monsters came from behind us.
Fortunately, staying quiet wasn't ...
2023-08-04 08:40:56 +0000 UTC View PostAs I was walking back after having cleaned myself with energy, my mind was on the loot I got. From the different bag designs, I figured that they had also killed another group before they came after us. Perhaps their plan was to roam the 74th floor, collect loot, hopefully find some other parties to kill, and loot them as wel...
2023-08-03 15:46:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe enemy party consisted of five members: one scout, most likely with a rogue-type build, a tank, two mages (one of whom was the leader), and one healer. I commended their discipline. No one seemed to be speaking out loud, but I had no idea if they had some sort of communication ability like we did that allowed us to talk wi...

This was a terrible morning. I was woken up at 4:00 AM by one of my guards saying that the Dungeon Fairy Guild had arrived. This was a moment that I absolutely feared. From this point on, I was 99% sure that they would take control of the dungeon and start taxing everything to high heaven.
They would proba...
2023-08-02 16:24:19 +0000 UTC View PostI kept my senses constantly aware of our surroundings, even during the fighting. I managed to scare the other party away, but I was a bit disappointed they didn’t choose to fight. However, I was quite certain they wouldn’t give up on us so easily.
Everyone was still quite tense from the encounter with the other part...
2023-08-01 16:57:46 +0000 UTC View PostWaking up after exerting myself so much was painful, especially the headache, but weirdly, my chest hurt the most, which was strange. Even after hours of resting, after my headache was nearly gone, and everything else seemed in peak order, the left side of my chest still hurt. Did the monster do something to me?
That di...

Being completely connected to my shield, I felt the impact of those small rocks. Each one felt like a mountain and my shield started to crack, but I continued to weave the spell so I could repair and strengthen it continuously.
I collapsed from having spent nearly 30% of my total mana and pushing my mind...

We all rushed into what we presumed to be the boss room, but I couldn’t detect anything there. Soon, Arabella and Rich said at the same time, "Clear?" We were all still vigilant; we just never expected a boss room to possibly have an ambush. "Everyone, keep vigilant," I heard Horus say, but my attention was ...
2023-07-25 12:18:21 +0000 UTC View PostWe were still making good time descending, but the fighting started to get complicated as the monsters we encountered began to exhibit a multitude of different abilities. If the trend continued, we might finally get stuck if we ended up in a disadvantageous environment and opponent. But, like with every other combat, luck pla...
2023-07-24 14:30:48 +0000 UTC View Post"Well, to understand me, you'll need to know a bit more about my background. While everything I've told you about myself is true, there's a quite important fact that I haven't mentioned. A large portion of me isn't from this world." Upon hearing my words, Luana let out a sigh of relief. I guess she knew about it but kept it a...
2023-07-21 12:53:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe 10th floor playroom was technically complete, but it required some maintenance and a way to get ants down here. I created a myriad of different environments, including lakes, rivers, forests, mountainous areas, snowy regions, and even some deserts. Until now, the ants had lived in a perfect environment for them, so I want...

I felt that my mind has been too focused on fighting lately, which is making me make unwise...
2023-07-20 15:43:18 +0000 UTC View PostI now had a better understanding of what was supposed to happen after the breakthrough, but I still had no idea what it truly meant. A large portion of my mind was on refining something inside of me. I couldn’t stop this process, but I found that I could add a little bit of mental power to make it more efficient.

2023-07-20 15:42:43 +0000 UTC View PostMy eyes snapped open and my heart started beating as if it was trying to escape my chest, but I instantly calmed down when I figured out Arabella was approaching me. She had a water skin and a bowl of some sort of food which she offered me, and I gratefully accepted.
I downed the water in large gulps until everything wa...
2023-07-19 14:55:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe 9th floor turned out to be more interesting in every possible way. I never expected that with so much extra room in the playroom, regional specialties for evolution would start to develop. It was on a small scale, but I could see it easily. I couldn’t wait until I had access to even larger floors and where that could le...
2023-07-19 14:54:20 +0000 UTC View PostThe fighting continued to get tougher, with some spikes of truly hard fights, mostly because of the environment. We truly shined when we had enough room to fight, but not every ruin afforded us this.
The current one was especially brutal as we were fighting ghouls who came in packs of ten or more. My sword was still abl...
2023-07-18 12:51:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe next two floors were monotonous, but at least I got a bit more exercise with the hordes of first-rank monsters. Cutting them down was as easy as cutting wheat thanks to my greatsword, but we continued at a reasonably fast pace.
