《Rise of a Rogue Dungeon》Core Chapter 9: The Expansion of a Dungeon Pt.1
Advertisement
Entering the Titan core's cave, its thoughts were interrupted as it noticed a bright red glow coming from the entrance to its Core room making it intrigued as to what was causing such a thing, entering it saw its Core which had undergone a considerable change since the last time it came here. Instead of its old black stone which was dull, lightless, and simply just black with a few diagrams and runes covering its surface. It was now shining brightly like the sky it had seen earlier; its black stone was wrapped in a thin bubble of blood which it assumed belonged to the Beast-kin the Abomination had drained. The most substantial change, however, were the Diagrams and Runic circles which had turned from their previous grey color to shinning an ominous black light and those Diagrams and Runic circles now revolved around the bubble of blood covering its surface, instead of its old inertness. The red light it had seen outside was the light from its Core shinning through the blood bubbled around it, and it assumed these changes had occurred due to leveling up and unlocking the Floor Creation ability which denoted a change in its capabilities as it could now expand to be far more extensive than before.
Finishing the inspection of its Core, it was now extremely excited to create a floor increasing its safety so it could focus on repairing the Titan core and using the Floor creation it caused a black box to appear before it, awaiting its answer which would open new possibilities for it.
Floor Creation Themes will now be unlocked! Yes/No?
"Yes."

No Monsters or Magic benefits present in this theme. Congratulations! You've acquired the Parasitic Swamp! Unlock Condition(s): Must've acquired the Leeching Core Achievement.

Withered husks of invaders haunt the Forest after their death, rated no higher than Moderate Common. Benefits Leech and Withered Monsters, Earth and Dark Magic moderately. Congratulations! You've acquired the Elemental Dunes! Unlock Condition(s): Must've acquired the Intellectual Core Achievement and the Mana Wielder Title. The Elemental Dunes consist of a vast desert filled with elemental hazards rarely found in the normal world with tornados made of fire and rock, volcanoes erupting water and ice, stinging electrified gales, tsunamis of blood, lights darkening releasing a chilling wind around them, shadows radiating scorching light and various more fantastical and murderous hazards. Elementals wander the dunes, rated no higher than Moderate Common. Benefits Elementals and all Magic minorly. Congratulations! You've acquired the Atrocious Heavenly Tower! Unlock Condition(s): Must've acquired the Abomination Core, and Divine Assimilator Achievements.

Theme Virtuoso!
Unlock Condition(s): Acquire five themes or more, and all require to be unlocked for the first time in the world.
Effect(s): Makes it easier to combine themes and themes grant increased bonuses to their respective benefits.
The black boxes came with a bombardment of information into the Core's mind as objects, materials, and various other things too numerous to fit in black boxes engulfed the Core's mind painfully causing it to lose control of its sight and bounce back into its Core, further increasing its pain. Hours later as the pain faded, it swore to open the Floor Creation ability any time it earns an Achievement to avoid something like this ever happening again. But it was mostly satisfied with all the things it acquired only being disappointed it didn't gain more monsters which would fit these floors, but that could be resolved in the future when it evolves more of its monsters.
Using Mana Sight once again it moved back to the Titan core pondering which theme to use, or whether it should attempt at merging them already considering it earned an achievement which would help with that; however, it settled on creating one of the themes it has now and to leave combining for later.
It moved towards the exit cave and placed the floor's entrance at the start of the cave, burying the arch it created using a surprisingly small amount of Mana on, which would be the entrance to its first floor. Moving back it focused as the noise of something ripping reverberated around the cave, this noise was signifying the creation of a pocket dimension which seems like something Dungeon cores can do easily, or maybe the world was helping it. Whatever the case it was relatively easy for it to create the dimension and moved into it ready to make its first floor, which it selected the Parasitic Swamp for its first floor.

Dreamer/Leveler
Zachary Trenner is a freshman at Burlington High School. Despite his mundane appearance and advanced course curriculum, something strange is happening to him. Every time he goes to sleep he switches worlds. Portals are popping up everywhere, allowing access between Earth and the world of Vera. Now he must spend every waking and sleeping moment getting stronger to fight off the [Instance Dungeons] opening on both Vera, and Earth. Prepare for an RPG fiction full of magic, action, a touch of romance, and the author's own dry humor. When the modern technology of Earth meets the medieval magic of Vera, which culture will invade the other world first? When the army rangers of the United States collide with the members of the Hunter's Guild, who will win? Updates on Wednesdays/Thursdays Cover is my own creation. Tips to reading: This is my first book, so cliches and tropes are used as the base and then expanded upon. My intention is to make it a casual read but deep if you decide to look closer. I'm not a people person, so my focus and purpose for writing this is to explore the world building and magic system, not necessarily the characters. There won't be a villian until the postgame ;) Author's philosophy: I took an professional personality inventory (through a community college back in 2018) and was categorized as a "double-checker." I'm never satisfied with the work that I complete, and never want to share it with anyone. But this book is a challenge to myself! As a rule of thumb, I will only add to the story. I can't remove elements I've already included (unless absolutely, absolutely necessary). PS, I'm a native English speaker.

Absolute Power
A story about a teenager named Aarav trying to find his place in the world, while trying to make it a better place to live. NOTE: Please remember the word 'TRYING'. Guys I have edited the prologue and uploaded it after I uploaded the fourth chapter. Although the story hasn't changed much, I have tried to make it flow smoother. Added a few more details to the life of Aarav and stuff like that. Might wanna take a look at it. P.S. - Guys this is my first story. I am trying to learn English better but since I don't have enough money for books, courses or tutors, so your criticism and support will have to do. This is my first time, so please be gentle. P.P.S. - I selected harem in tags because generally people who like it tend to be more chill. Right now I have a rough sketch till the second volume and there are only two female leads.
