《The Floating Dungeon》Chapter 53
Advertisement
As the storm on the horizon started to hit her iceberg, Amy was not all that worried. While the wind and rain were getting stronger, it did not move her iceberg around or shift the two anchors holding the iceberg in place.
It was also clear to her that nothing would probably be entering her dungeon until the storm stopped, so it also gave her time to go fix and look over things that she had been brushing over.
One of the significant things that Amy had not really paid attention to was the second-floor boss monster. Her choice of the second-floor boss was hasty, and she was made to do it quickly without the proper consideration like she did with picking Fisher. She hasn't even named the floor boss yet, and Amy figured that the time to do this was now while waiting for the storm to pass.
The honru boss monster was chosen from the smaller but more vicious of the two survivors from the first round of the cuttlefish monster invasion. As such, its growth into the boss monster focused a lot more on speed and agility.
Her honru sharks averaged a length of three to four metres. When she chose the small honru shark, which was around three metres, and the boss monster transition happened, the shark grew to five metres. While not a big visible change like with Fisher, some changes distinguished this honru shark as the boss monster.
The muscle structure of the shark changed from a slow hunter to one that can push large bursts of speed accurately and successfully change directions at their highest speed. The boss monster also had a change in their mouth and teeth. What it was once designed to rip apart and chew had shifted to one where the boss could take chunks of flesh off really quickly at high speeds. Another interesting change was that the boss's skin attained a thick, almost blow reflecting quality to it that may have mana repelling qualities to it. But Amy would have to see it in action to decide if the boss monster could lightly reflect magic attacks.

She was really happy with the changes that the honru shark had taken during the shift and growth into the second-floor boss monster. Now it was time for her to name the boss.
As Amy studied the shark, trying to figure out a name, a small sliver of information that she somehow knew from Earth popped up in her brain. There was a shark family classified as Carcharhinidae or something similar to the name that held over 60 species of sharks back on Earth. The classification name that popped into her head led her to decide the monster's name.
The first part of the classification, Carcha, just seemed to click as a name to suit and represent the second boss.
So, with a bit more thought, Amy officially decided on the name Carcha for the second-floor boss. A blue screen popped up to apply the System's acceptance of the name and make it official.
You have officially named the floor boss of floor two "Carcha".
After Amy had a detailed look at her boss monster, she needed to discuss with Calder about what she wanted from him, what he wanted to do, and how their relationship was going to be with adventurers continually coming into the dungeon.
Hey Calder, called out Amy to the busily working siren.
With a bit of a startle, like he was not expecting her to talk to him, he looked around and then seemed to remember that she was everywhere.
"Hello Amy, what do you need."
We need to talk about our future together. I know that we haven't really communicated about what we will do together, and I think it is key that we figure out what you are going to do and where you will live.
"I have actually been thinking about that. I know I haven't really done much for you, and I don't think I can when there are adventurers in the dungeon."

Do you have anything you would like to do that could help me?
"Well, after spending some time around adventurers and the people who are at the docks, which by the way is now newly named The Floating Docks. I think if I could make a living and or insert myself into the society surrounding the docks, I could probably collect new materials, creatures, information, and more that you may not have access to."
As Amy heard what Calder proposed to her, it made sense to her. If she could have an inside man who could pass different things like objects, materials, etcetera, he would be a lot more helpful than he was currently. The problem, though, was that he needed to have an identity and a job that was connected to her but did not make people suspicious about their connection.
Then it hit her, what if he became a sort of merchant that buys easy collectings from groups or a supplier to the groups going into the dungeon.
Hey Calder, how would you feel about becoming a merchant or trader?
"A merchant or trader? Well, I have some experience and am willing to do it, but that depends on what you have in mind."
Well, the idea I have in mind is that you trade in materials specifically from the dungeon, like rare plants and the like, that you can use to make connections with the people living on the floating docks.
"Hmmm, that will work, but why don't we do this..."
After a bit of discussing and changing plans, both Amy and Calder finalized what he was going to do.
Calder would become an adventurer like he was thinking of doing but would be more focused on gathering and collecting valuable plants and creatures, then sell or trade them at the town that popped up next to her. He would then use what he gained to bring around 30%-40% of his earning and buy, collect, or bring new things back to the dungeon or bring her what she wanted to get.
This way, Calder could earn money and make a living, but Amy was able to gain a good amount from this deal as money does not mean a lot to her. She is interested in new things, anything really, especially information and materials she may never have a chance to get her hands on.
Just as Calder and Amy agreed to change to their relationship that would be implemented after the storm, Amy felt the iceberg start to move.
Realizing that she placed so much of her attention on her dungeon and the things inside it, she was not paying attention to the storm.
While she was distracted, the storm really started picking up. Enough so that her iceberg was being pushed really hard westwards with the wind and waves from the storm. Amy figured that she would need to add one or two more anchors to stay in place.
Suddenly, it seemed like the iceberg had had enough. Then, the wind and waves started really hitting her iceberg. Before Amy could get more anchors down, the force of the elements was too much, and the anchors ripped up out of the ground.
