《The Life of a Dungeon》Chapter 10
Advertisement
As Teaghan was pondering the possibilities of the cave system, something big entered her dungeon. Something big and human-like came crawling through her entrance at a quick pace.
Seeing this, Teaghan put her whole dungeon on high alert and watched this new being like a hawk. Looking closely at it, she saw that the person was a human male and had either tattoos or markings around his eyes and wrists. This guy looked like he was running from something or someone.
Teaghan watched as the man quickly huddled to the side of the entrance as if waiting for whatever was chasing him to come through the tunnel. After a couple of minutes, the person relaxed and started speaking.
“Sle thempron hyùthü” muttered the man. The person looked around and opened his backpack, taking out a small lantern. The man touched what looked like a rune on the lantern, and it turned on. The man looked around and seemed surprised.
“Brashæj klûth ór shmüǎ” spoke the man after he looked around. He then grabbed his backpack, pulled out a knife and started walking deeper into the dungeon. Along the way, the man stopped once in a while and took bits and pieces of the plants and put the scrapings in what looked to be vials. He then stored these vials in his backpack.
When he got to the first room, the man encountered the first trap, the footfall trap. He stepped on the trap, and his foot fell through, onto the spikes, impaling his leg. The man screamed in a way that Teaghan had never heard before. She knew that she would probably have to kill in the future, but she didn’t expect herself to not feel bad for this man. In truth, Teaghan was sympathetic to this man, but she did not feel bad about hurting him and maybe killing him.

“Bně!” shouted the man as he pulled his leg out of the trap, shredding his leg even more. Slowly he crawled over to one of the trees and rested against it. Slowly one of the white grapplers moved towards the man and quickly wrapped around his throat, crushing his windpipe. The man struggled against the grappler, trying to grab his knife nearby to cut the vine. But, with the bloodloss and his crushed windpipe, the man quickly died.
When the man died, his body was absorbed automatically by her core, leaving behind clothes, jewelry, a knife and a backpack.
Teaghan absorbed the belongings, and a couple of blue screens appeared.

Curious to what adding loot met, Teaghan pulled up the kobolds description. And what do you know? She was able to assign loot that would appear when adventurers killed the monsters. Teaghan assigned copper and iron bits, with iron only showing up a small percentage of the time.
Pulling up all of her monsters, Teaghan added loot to them. Once she finished distributing the loot among her monsters, Teaghan focused on the journal.
She created the journal again and then got a kobold to turn the pages for her to study the book and potentially learn the language. After a while of trying to read the journal, Teaghan got a notification.
Congratulations! You now have the ability to understand and read basic Gráthlo.
Next, Teaghan decided to see if she could pull up a map from the ring of remembrance.
She was able to pull up the map, and she found that there was a village about two kilometres South West of her dungeon.
Teaghan realized that there was a great potential of her location being known soon and that she could have adventurers and people invading her dungeon.
Realizing this, Teaghan saw that she was not ready for a large group of people in her dungeon. So she decided it was time to make her dungeon more lethal and dangerous.
