In order to gain more hydrius salamanders, Amy paired together the two. She used mana to push the idea to breed and increase growth speed into the two salamanders. These hydrius salamanders would be her main explorers and potential combatants outside of her dungeon and sub-dimension.

As Amy waited for there to be an increase in the hydrius salamander's population, she decided to create the tunnel that she had been considering that opened up near the middle of the iceberg that was underwater to the room with the portal to her dungeon. The tunnel was two metres by two metres that curved a lot to avoid some of the rooms already within the iceberg. Amy also pulled water into the room so that it filled the room so that it covered 50% of the portal width, allowing any fully aquatic creatures to gain access to her dungeon.

When she finished creating the tunnel and was waiting for the salamander population to grow, she got to thinking. As a dungeon core, she had a name, but her dungeon and territory did not. All the dungeons that she has read back on Earth either created their own name or were named by someone else. If it was possible, she wanted to name herself, in all honesty. She wanted that control, the ability to be happy with a name that was not insulting to her. And Amy had the perfect name for her dungeon, "The Floating Dungeon."

When she decided on the name, The Floating Dungeon, a blue screen popped up in front of her.

Congratulations! You have chosen the name "The Floating Dungeon" for your dungeon. This name will now show up when information obtaining objects, scanning spells, scrying, or when sentients enter your dungeon within the world, Terra. Other names may be applied if access to other worlds or dimensions occurs.

'Huh,' thought Amy, 'well, at least the System allowed me to choose my own name.' Amy was glad that she could choose the name for her dungeon. Still, the most interesting thing is that in the future, way in the future, she may be able to gain access to dimensions or worlds other than Terra. But, that thinking was for another time, as the second generation of hydrius salamanders has hatched and started to grow.

With the second generation, which included five new hydrius salamanders, growing faster than normal growth, and were reaching the age where they could breed, Amy decided that the original two hydrius could now be used to explore the Amware trench reef and bring back objects, or pieces of plants or small animals back to the iceberg.

This would be the first time Amy has sent creatures into a potentially dangerous area. So, Amy started with the very edge of the reef, where her territory did not reach.

So she sent them off with the direction of bringing things back, exploring, and staying safe. Amy also placed with the salamanders the direction to return quickly into her territory if they experience any problems.

With that, Amy sent off the hydrius salamanders into the beginning of the reef. She then turned her attention to the bait she had set to draw creatures from the reef into her territory.

While nothing has crossed over into her territory, Amy could see a couple of small fish at the very edge of her territory that bordered on the reef. It appeared that the bait worked, and now all she had to do was wait until the creatures started crossing over.

After waiting an hour or two, the first fish crossed the boundaries into her territory. Amy let it approach the cylinder of ice roots and let it get comfortable. She did this to let the other fish that may be hesitant in coming into her territory think that there was nothing dangerous in or around the ice cylinder.

Once the fish from the amware reef was situated in the bait ice cylinder and was eating the algae on the ice, Amy carefully inserted a mana thread into the fish. Then, she started pushing her mana into the fish. The fish spasmed for a second before it stopped and continued eating like it did before.

Like a switch was flipped, the fish that were hesitant to enter, and new creatures that were drawn in equally by the reef fish and her bait environment, started appearing and crossing into her territory.

Soon enough, Amy gained seven new species and pulled up the descriptions of these creatures.

Amware Albacore Tang

A small fish of the tang species that has been enhanced by trench mana. This species can use water mana to make a flexible bubble-like shield around it to protect it from predators.

Banded Trench Sea Krait

A species of sea snake that has evolved within the trench. This snake species will inject venom saturated in trench mana, producing a decaying effect.

Coral Sea Dragon

This species of sea dragon, a marine fish, has a light blue hue to camouflage within the coral and the open ocean.

Bony Arowana

A species of air-breathing predatory marine fish commonly found in reefs. This species has used mana pulled from its environment to expand its capacity to hold air.

Grey Cardinalfish

A species of small schooling fish that are most commonly found in cold-water reefs.

Trench Giant Grouper

A species of giant grouper that has evolved through trench mana. This species will continue to grow larger and larger and will only stop when their environment demands it.

Needlefish

A very thin but long fish with a long needle-like beak that can be used to pierce flesh in defence.

Amy was quite happy with what she was able to lure out of the reef with the bait ice cylinder habitat. Some of the fish species that she gained, she gained a couple. So what she did was take one or two of each of the species of both genders and take them into her sub-dimension. That way, some of the species would be left in the bait area to hopefully lure out other creatures, but she would have a fail-safe within her dungeon in case the ones in the bait environment die.

With the species like needlefish and grey cardinalfish where she had both a male and female within the sub-dimension, Amy inserted another mana string into the fish. With the mana string, she pushed the idea of increased growth and breeding, both with conditions that when the species' population reached 200 specimens each.

As Amy was doing this, something large crossed into her territory. But, unlike where she expected something large to cross into her territory, this creature came from the opposite side of the reef. When she went to take a look to see what it was, what she saw looked like a combination of an eel and a shark. It was around 2 metres in length, 50 centimetres wide, and it was swimming to her iceberg and the tunnel to the portal, fast.
