《The Floating Dungeon》Chapter 8
Advertisement
When the mana thread that was watching the glacial salamander eggs started pulsing, Amy paused her experiments and pulled her attention to the room that contained the eggs.
The eggs had grown a lot bigger than when she had left them. They were once about 50 centimetres in width and height and now were about 100 centimetres in width and height. All of them within the cluster of seven eggs had little cracks in them, and she watched as the first parts of the salamanders started to appear to the world.
As the salamanders crawled out from their shells, Amy was finally able to see what they looked like. All of the salamanders had the basic shape of salamanders that you would see back on Earth. Five of the salamanders were light blue with transparent spots, smooth skin, a tail with some little spikes on it, no scales, and sticky padded toes that looked like they would help them stick to ice as well as walk on top of deep snow.
There were two salamanders from the grouping that looked different from their siblings. The third salamander that hatched seemed very different from the first two. It had a darker colour blue as its skin, no spots, and clear blue eyes. The last salamander was, from what Amy could tell, the most different.
Unlike the previous salamanders, this one looked more like it belonged in an aquatic environment. Its colour varied from dark to light grey, had webbed toes and a flat-looking tail that looked like it would help it swim.
With a smile, Amy decided to pull up the descriptions of the three different types of salamanders that hatched. The first description that she pulled up was the light blue salamander with transparent spots.
Glacial Salamander
A type of salamander that is only found within cold and icy environments. This species produces a kind of venom in its teeth that produces a dry ice effect on the flesh of its prey.

The second description that she pulled up was the dark blue salamander.
Deep Freeze Salamander
Once a glacial salamander, it was exposed to such a severe change in the coldness that it mutated into a deep freeze salamander. As such, this salamander is a lot more connected with ice mana and will naturally cool the area around it.
The last description that Amy pulled up was the grey salamander.
Sodden Salamander
A species of semi-aquatic salamander. This salamander can live and hunt above and in water, but it is more agile when hunting in water.
Amy was quite pleased with the two new mutations, as well as the glacial salamanders themselves. It shocked her that she would get mutations and have one type be venomous and another type to be aquatic in nature. The other to be more connected to ice mana, which is observed in her iceberg.
With the discovery of the mutations that some of the glacial salamanders have gone through, Amy decided to get their population to increase. Unlike with the snails, Amy wanted the salamanders to breed together. There were four females and three males, and one of the males was the deep freeze salamander.
She wanted to breed them together for a couple of things. The first one is to see whether they could interbreed. The second reason is to see if both species would be within the cluster of eggs. The third reason is to see if any traits, mutations, or new species could be produced this way.
She took the salamanders and placed them in one of the rooms with some water and some moss and stones in it. Afterwards, she used the same trick that increased growth, but instead, she pushed breed, breed, breed, through the mana thread. Amy watched as the males paired off with the females, and since all of the salamanders had the increased growth gene that seemed to appear after she used the mana thread to boost growth. But, it is slower than if she manually did it and a lot faster than their normal growth.

With the salamanders looked after, Amy decided to go back to the icey kelp. She took the first of the new sprouts and placed it on a middle level in height clumping of ice roots. She carefully laid out the roots so that they were anchored correctly and had enough room to continue to grow around the cylinders of ice. Amy then took a thread of mana and started sewing the roots onto the ice. The sewing action that she took was like sewing sequins to a shirt. She took the roots and ever so carefully started sewing parts directly into the ice. While she was doing this, Amy kept on pushing mana into the plant in hopes of it surviving.
Once she was done, Amy took a step back and admired her work. Unlike what she originally envisioned, the kelp had its roots growing throughout large knotting of ice roots, and it was surviving.
With a smile, Amy decided to take the second kelp sprout and instead of using her own mana, she decided to use ice mana. Unlike the first kelp sprout, where she attached the roots on top of the ice roots, she wanted to try to make the kelp grow out of the ice.
Amy chose a low-level knot of ice roots far away from her first experiment with icey kelp but still reasonably close to her iceberg. Using ice mana, she opened up a circular cylinder hole that was large enough to place the icey kelp in. Once the kelp was in the hole, she closed the ice around it. Amy quickly used the ice mana to penetrate the roots into the ice as far as she could. As this was being done, she was also injecting ice mana into the plant itself in hopes that it would be able to help the plant acclimate to be able to grow in ice.
When Amy was finished with her second experiment, she once again took a step back and watched to see if the icey kelp that was growing in the ice would survive.
With all the things that Amy wanted to get done finished, she decided to take a break and just watch her territory.

Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.

Thousands of years has passed since the end of the racial war between Mortals/humans, Demonaics, Elturs, and Luk'Ag-uerans which shifted the barbaric world to a "peaceful" world. An orphan of a small village wakes up from a nightmare that prophesied their village would be raided by a Mortal army from an enemy kingdom. The child and his caretaker barely flees from the village and a few days later stumbles upon a "bandit camp" as the leader took pity in them and takes them inside their camp. Five years has passed as the orphan child and his caretaker went through hardships as apprentices of the leader, and as the orphan child about to rest another revelation comes into his mind that the camp will be raided by the same Mortal army that wreaked havoc onto his old previous home. However, five years of training was not enough to fend off against them and forced the orphan and his caretaker to leave the camp by the leader while they stayed and fought against the army until his last breath. From then on more revelations entered the mind of the orphan causing his body to weaken as if the revelations continuously consume his insides. How will he continue to live while the visions/revelations consume his vitality? And how will he be able to control these visions along the road? The first purist in Kaul'n will have to face many challenges ahead.
