System Notice
Due to meeting special conditions, your zombie can evolve into:
Dullahan
Dullahans are undead horsemen with dark magic capabilities. They must carry their heads around. Dullahans have a skill that enchants their fighting capability when they are on their steed.
Unlocked Conditions: Have a bond with their steed and dark magic potentials.
"Do you want to evolve, Helen?"
She nodded.
I pressed the evolve button, Helen began her transformation. I always liked seeing this. The cosmetic change to their clothes is interesting. The transformation changes their clothes and armor to better suited their new form. Even though there aren't any upgrades to their armor or weapons, it is still fun to watch.
"Did I get shorter after my evolution?" said Helen.
Wow, she looked awesome. Helen wore leather armor with a skirt and knee socks all with the color black. She also has two daggers strapped to her legs and long black cloak. All the black color make a good contrast for her white skin. The most amusing thing was that she had a blue fire in burning in her eyes the same with her unicorn. Also, she was carrying her head.
"I'm laughing my head off right now, Helen," said Butch.
"Butch, that physically hurts and that shouldn't be possible because I'm an undead," said Frank.
"Congratulations on your evolution Helen and it's nice now that I can talk to you."
"I'm grateful my lord. It's going to take some time to get used to carrying my head and talking."
"Boss?"
"Yes, Butch?"
"That unicorn was another guardian right?" asked Butch.
"Yes, he was. It said, Guardian of the Animals after I absorbed it."
"So where is the chest that we get after defeating a guardian."
"Shit I forgot about it. Look for it near the place you found the unicorn."

The chest was inside a hollow part of a tree near where they defeated the unicorn. Inside the chest, there were leather armor set, a whip, two daggers, a skill book, and a normal book. The skill book contains the [Free Running] skill, a skill that allows its user to run freely without being impeded by their environment, so it's a parkour running skill.
The book was a leather book with a unicorn of the cover. Every guardian we defeated always have a book on their chest. There wasn't any explanation for the book when I absorbed them. I wondered how many guardians are there left and what will I find after defeating them and collecting all their books?
"Mike, how much mana do I have right now?"
You currently have 57 mana.
"Hmmm, not enough for expansion but enough to upgrade my buildings."
I realized that I haven't been upgrading my building since I made them and only been expanding my dungeon. I needed to balance my dungeon size with my facilities usefulness. Let's take a look at my facility and what I need to upgrade. I should probably start from all my monster spawner.
"Mike, can you show me the available upgrades for my morgue, death hound den, and the mastaba?"
Buildings Upgrades
Morgue
Spawn one zombie per day. (10 mana)
Increase the likelihood that zombie will evolve. (20 mana)
Death Hound Den
Spawn one death hound per day. (10 mana)
Increase the likelihood that death hound will evolve. (20 mana)
Mastaba
Spawn one mummy per day. (10 mana)
Increase the likelihood that mummy will evolve. (20 mana)
I decided to upgrade all of the spawn rates since it is really useful. I decided to not buy the evolution chance just yet. Now it's time for my favorite building upgrade.

"Mike, can you show me the upgrade for the bar?"
Buildings Upgrades
Bar (Lifeless)
Unlocked undead specialty drinks (5 mana)
Unlocked new types of drinks. (5 mana)
Upgrade bar equipment. (5 mana)
I decided to buy all of the upgrades for the bar. When I did that the bar began to change. New bottles lining the shelf, new equipment like a cocktail shaker, jigger cups, and those twisty spoons. I saw different types of drinks and liquor like blackberry juice, apple cider, and drinks I've never seen before. The coolest thing about the upgrade was there are now what seemed to be blood on a bottle, a brain inside a jar, and gunpowder barrels. Now it feels like a bar for the undead. The zombie that I made to act as the bartender looked very happy after I upgraded the bar.
I should probably look at what happened to the other buildings now that I upgraded them. The morgue now has new freezers lining the walls and one more autopsy table. The Den now has animal skins for where they sleep and a fireplace in the middle of the room. The mastaba has the least amount of changes only the number of coffins increased inside of it. It's a shame that the spawn changes would happen tomorrow it would be cool if I can see a mummy right now. I should spawn a mummy because I have mana to spare. I chose the monster option and picked mummy. Light began to shine inside the core room.
"Mike, you're looking at this right?" I asked confused.
Yes, I'm looking at it.
"So did the system broke or I didn't put enough mana?"
No, the system is working. The mana you used to create it is also the right amount.
"So can you tell me why am I looking at a 5-year-old girl that wore a bad toilet paper costume instead of a mummy?"
I don't know.
"I want a refund!"
I can't do that.
"Good morning, father," she said with a smile.
"Father, do you not like me?" she said with tears in her eyes.
Oh no, she must have heard what I said about her. Dammit, I can't let a 5-year-old girl cry. What kind of person would I be then?
"No sweetheart, I like you just the way you are. Forget what I said earlier I was dumb. Why don't you play with your big sister Helen?"
"Ok, bye bye father." she waved while walking with Helen.
Dominus, what are you doing? I'm not equipped in handling kids. That bastard is probably laughing right now in his office. I swear I'll kick his ass when I see him again. In all of the commotion today I forgot to look at Helen's and the mummy's status. Let's look at it now.
Monster Status Name: Helen Race: Undead (Dullahan) Information A dungeon undead created with mana from Adam Undead Dungeon. After bonding with her steed she is now a Dullahan. Skill [Zombie Virus II] [Limit Break] [Riding] [Dagger Mastery] [Shadow Weapon] Monster Status Name: No Name Race: Undead (Mummy) Information A dungeon undead created with mana from Adam Undead Dungeon. Skill [Zombie Virus II] [Limit Break]
[Riding] Skill and [Shadow Weapon] Skills seems self-explanatory, one helped with the user riding skill and the other allows the user to create a weapon out of shadow using mana. Looks like a mummy is just like a zombie but with an increase in zombie virus. Now, how do I take care of a child?

After he thought everything was over he heard a voice asking him for a wish and for one wish only.. He knew his answer as soon as the question was asked because he fought for his whole life despite being only 19 years old.. He always has had a rough time because his family was poor and they needed to fight for every bit of money they could get.. he got in fights a lot.. so his wish was a simple one that would change everything.. " I wish to have the potentiell to become the strongest being in all existence so that i dont have to fight anymore !
