《The Floating Dungeon》Chapter 32
Advertisement
Amy took a step back and observed the second floor with the plant environments filling it up, and she was very happy with it. It was different enough than the first floor, and in places where the heat brain coral was slightly warmer temperatures. The way that she designed it is that since adventurers must defeat the floor boss before going onto the next level area, then they could enter the second floor and any spot. So she made it that in places where it seemed that it might be a more accessible area would have more hidden dangers than the rest, especially with the harmful plants.
But those were not the only hidden dangers that Amy wanted to incorporate, and those were her creatures that she has yet to allow into the second floor.
So Amy started with the creatures that are not set in a certain environment that she wanted to be able to swim and move between the two-floor areas. She worked out how to do this by taking one of the silver anchovies from the first floor, moving it past the barrier into the second floor, then moving it back into the first floor. After she did this, Amy encouraged that same silver anchovy to try to move through the barrier both ways, and it did.
So she set about taking half the population of silver anchovies from the first floor and did the same method she did with the first anchovy to the half of the anchovy population. Amy was able to get this done with the anchovies relatively quickly as she could create multiple mana strings. The only thing was that she hoped the ability to move between the first and second floor into their offspring. To test this and bring up the anchovies' populations, she added the idea to increase the population through the mana strings.

With this way of allowing the creatures she wanted to be able to traverse both floors working, Amy started doing it with the other creatures that she wanted to traverse both floors. The creatures that she did this with were the northern pike, trench giant grouper, boar sharks, ice barracuda, and the armoured sea bass. There were not a lot of creatures she wanted to do this with because she also wanted to have differences between both floors.
With that done, Amy started on adding the rest of the creatures to the second floor. Since she had a couple of different environments, she decided to focus on each environment separately.
The first environment that she focused on was the coral reefs. Of the coral reefs she placed or transplanted from the first floor: spider crabs, glass jellyfish, redfish, long-feathered pens, rok octopus, crystal stingrays, blue-lipped clams, amware albacore tang, coral sea dragon, bony arowana, grey cardinalfish, and long spined sea urchin.
The creatures that lived on, above, or under the mangrove island were the ocean swallow, redfish, rain drop dragonfly, amware albacore tang, and coral sea dragon. In the kelp forests, she placed spider crabs, long-feathered pens, striped wolfish, rok octopus, blue-lipped clam, and bony arowana. With the shoals, she placed glass jellyfish, rok octopus, crystal stingrays, blue-lipped clams, grey cardinalfish, long spined sea urchins, and sand dollars.
Throughout the floor, Amy added new creatures that she had collected or those that were from the first floor. These were the menhaden, air hoppers, long whiskers jellyfish, mantis shrimp, piper fish, banded trench sea kraits, and needlefish.
As the creatures settled into their new home and environment, Amy watched them do that and realized that she was missing something, the monsters.
Unlike the first floor, Amy did not want the penguins' monsters to be on the second floor in the way they currently are. She wanted to see if she could change them or make them stronger, but she decided to first get the other monsters down.

When Fisher defeated the invading honru shark, she gained the monster and could summon the monster just like she could do with her penguin monsters. So Amy tried to summon them just like she did with her penguin monsters.
She summoned one to begin with, and it looked somewhat the same as the one that was invading. Then, just to be sure, she pulled up the description of the honru shark to check if there was anything different about it.
Honru Shark
A type of aquatic monster commonly found in cold-water oceans and near large food sources.
Rank Level: E
After reading the description, nothing changed. So Amy summoned an additional 26 honru sharks as one of the monsters of the second floor.
As she watched them swim off, Amy summoned an archer penguin to try to evolve it or increase its rank level. Then she had an idea to enhance the penguin in a way that could possibly make it more dangerous and or increase its rank level.
Her idea was to somehow take the verglas that was growing on her iceberg and within the ice in her dungeon and try to add it to the penguin in some way.
Amy tried to figure out how to do this, resulting in a couple of disastrous results. The first experiment that she did was taking a small piece of verglas and directly inserting it into the archer penguin and pushing her mana into it. It ended with the penguin being encased with the metal, creating a metal statue of the penguin monster.
The second experiment that Amy tried was summoning another archer penguin, then combining the penguin and the metal by trying to mash and knot the two things together with her mana. The result was the penguin exploding all over the place.
With a sigh, she summoned another archer penguin and tried again. This time she did a variation of the second experiment. She attempted to mash and know the penguin and metal together. In doing a variation of this, Amy took two separate mana strings and started circulating each one around a small piece of vergals and the penguin, creating spheres of mana around the two. After five minutes of doing this, Amy kept spinning the mana threads around the two, creating something like a transparent barrier. Once the mana thread barriers appeared, she took the end of the mana thread surrounding the verglass and placed it on the barrier of the archer penguin and pushed the mana from the verglas thread to the penguin thread.
When she did this, the penguin started to slightly change. The penguin started to gain a metallic sheen, and it somehow appeared sharper. After a minute of watching this happen, Amy stopped the process and pulled the mana strings away. Nothing happened to the verglas, but the archer penguin maintained its differences after this experiment.
To confirm if she was successful, Amy tried pulling up a description of the penguin and a blue screen popped up.
Dart Penguin
A monster that has been infused with the attributes of the metal, verglas.
Rank Level: E

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
