《The Undead Dungeon》Chapter 8 - Goals And Future Plans
Advertisement
Where should I start? Since I have a lot to do today let's start with the banshee since it will be the fastest thing to do. "Hey Banshee can I talk to you for a minute?" She seemed to nod then float towards me. She looks relatively the same as when she was alive. With the differences being that she has a hole in her chest, is transparent, and can float.
"So do you remember when you were alive?" I asked.
"I remember bits and pieces of when I was alive. Like how I was a princess and how the church killed my parents, but everything else seems fuzzy. I don't even remember my name," she said without any emotion.
"That life is behind you now, you aren't a princess anymore, you are a monster in my dungeon. So you need a new name, I was thinking Lucia what do you think?"
"Lucia, it sounds nice I am now Lucia," she said looking happy.
Now let's take a look at her status.
Monster Status Name: Lucia Race: Undead (Banshee) Information A fallen princess betrayed by her people that died and turn into a spirit belonging to Adam Undead Dungeon. Skills [Sonic Scream][Fearful Scream] Sonic Scream Active Skill Level: 1 A scream that emits a sonic shockwave that can push targets in range with enough force to incapacitate or kill attackers. Fearful Scream Active Skill Level: 3 A scream that causes enemies in range to flee in terror or fill them with fear. That's interesting. Usually banshees only have the [Sonic Scream] skill. It looks like when you revived her she kept that [Fearful Scream] skill.
"Does that happened often?"
It happens 20% of the time and the skills levels that they kept when revived are usually halved.

"What about skills that I absorbed how often does that happen?"
it happens 10% of the time and when you summon the skill as a skill book the level that it starts as is one.
"So I need to be lucky enough to get the skill, I need to spend mana to buy, and I also have to let my undead level it. That's a lot of effort for one skill."
"What about the Church of the Sun God? Any plan on how to defeat them or at least survive their attack?"
If we reach level five, we might survive their attack.
"Now we have a plan. Step one, reach level five. Step two, survive the church's attack. Step three, world domination."
Really? World domination are you a kid?
"What, go big or go home right?" I said while smiling like a little kid.
Ok, now that we have a long-term plan let's start expanding the dungeon so those church bastards can't kill us. Since I have 100 mana to work with, I've decided to buy all the construction upgrades. I decided to purchase some fishes, a beehive, drone bees, and worker bees all for 15 mana.
Infection Forest
The room looks exactly like a regular forest. But everything that lives here whether it is the plants or animals all possess the zombie virus. The zombie virus can be spread by air or water transmission. This room has an ecosystem.
Infection of the zombie virus through airborne transmission. (Small Chance)
Infection of the zombie virus through ingestion. (Medium Chance)
Pond: Infection of the zombie virus through a waterborne transmission. (Small Chance)
Death Hound Den: Spawn Death Hound once a week.
Mushroom Grove: Spawn mushroom around the grove and forest.
Ecosystem: The monsters inside the infection forest will kill one another to survive. Add one to mana regeneration.

Graveyard
A graveyard is a resting place for undead monsters. It provides undead monsters with comfort and relaxation.
Provides healing to undead monsters.
Regenerates broken or missing body parts.
Creates a calm environment for undead monsters.
Instills fear in living beings. (Small Chance)
Morgue: Spawn zombie once a week.
Morgue: Increase [Zombie Virus I] to [Zombie Virus II].
Wow, with that 75 mana is gone like the wind. I haven't put any traps in yet. At least now that I have a zombie and death hound spawner I can start a horde. It looks like if I had an ecosystem I could increase my mana regeneration, require more experiments. Later, now it's time to build traps.
"Mike, show me the Trap category."
Trap
Spike Trap Hole: 5 Mana
Falling Stalagmites Trap: 5 Mana
Poison Arrows: 5 Mana
I decided to put falling stalagmite trap on all the corridors. So that when they triggered the trap, undead can ambush them and with that I only 5 mana left. Now there is only one thing left to do.
"Mike, gather the undead, we are going exploring."

A Demon's Tail
He was born in a dark place, in a world where souls were traded like coins and a person's life wouldn't amount to much. A world where a single misspoken promise could rip you to shreds. On top of everything, his only soul was acting up and mocking him! It couldn't get much worse in his opinion... ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!
