"So Mike, he'll be back right?" I asked concerned.
Of course, he'll be back in 1 hour.
"That explosion was terrifying."

"Mike, what am I looking at here?"
Sorry, I forgot to mention about dungeon theme because of the explosion. Dungeon theme basically scanned your floor to determine the theme of your floor and then added animals, plants, traps, loot, and monsters that can help improve your dungeon like building an ecosystem.
"So that means I can increase my mana regeneration from two to seven?"
Not exactly. Did you remember when you expanded your forest room? Your mana regeneration didn't increase from two to three. That's because instead of your rooms, the system looks at your layout. You currently have 3 different types of layout for your rooms excluding the core room layout. They are cave layout, forest layout, and desert layout.
"I can probably guess how I got cave layout and forest layout, but when did I get the desert layout?"
You got the desert layout after you absorbed the fire crystal, ice crystal, and sand from the pond. Since you never used a premade layout for your room, I didn't show that you've acquired the desert room. I am sorry.
"You don't have to apologize, Mike, I like creating the dungeon myself rather than using a premade layout. Now that I saw the desert layout combine with the new information about dungeon theme, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to make the second floor. Let's take a look at the stuff we're getting from the dungeon theme."

"I guess it's time to make an ecosystem for the cave layout."
That would be great but you don't have enough mana for it. You currently have 2 mana and you need around 20 mana to create a cave layout. So you need more mana.
"That seems easy enough. Just kill a wolf pack, that should be enough to cover the mana cost. Wow, I just said killing a wolf pack like it's nothing am I turning into a psychopath?"
No, you're not a psychopath.
"Thanks, Mike."
You didn't let me finish, you're not a psychopath, you're a sociopath.
"Gee thanks, Mike."
You're welcome.
"I was being sarcastic."
So was I. But on a serious note Adam, you're a dungeon now so your values and beliefs might be different than when you were a human.
"I guess you're right, but that's easier said than done. Let's not think about it too much. It's time to kill a wolf pack."
I sent a zombie squad to search for a wolf pack, it took an hour before they able to find and kill one. After the hunt, I had 26 mana to spend, enough to make an ecosystem for the cave layout. I used the mana to make plants because other than dead trees there wasn't any vegetation in my cave layout. I placed moss and mushrooms inside the graveyard and mine room. I also added copper and zinc to the mine room. I didn't forget to add insects and reptiles inside every room. Dozens of reptiles and insects began appearing inside every room, they began to walk, crawl, fly, hop, and slither away. Last but not least I purchased the raccoons and the blue jays because they seem like a good pair.

8 201What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.
8 204The World of Arcadius
In the 57th year of King Kayan the Hunter’s reign, a heavy soul comes awake to a new world. Without memories or a name, the conscience of a young man is thrust into a conscious body of foreign origin with no sense for danger. Danger that can come from tiny talking balls of pink fluff, the hands of old men, and from within the ground as spears molded from earth. It is a dangerous world and our young soul has no idea as to what it is he must do to survive. Nor does he know his purpose. He must confront the world with the aid of those who summoned him. Those who wish upon him, a stranger, the goal of saving the world. A world coming undone by the powers that are beyond those of mortals; our young soul will be thrust amidst the conflict of it all. The balance of the world weighs on his shoulders.
