《My not so Peaceful Dungeon Life》Chapter 4: A Fungus Among us
Advertisement
2 days after my encounter with the nice merchant (you will be forgotten) another caravan pulled up behind the one that I couldn’t move. This one seemed to have one driver and two guards. One of the guard is wearing robes and carries a staff while the other has a large sword on their back and is 100% muscle. Upon peering into my dungeon I hear the the robed one who I assume is a wizard exclaim,
“It’s a dungeon!”
To which the large man replies,
“Has it been discovered yet?”
“I don’t think so.”
Replies the wizard.
After talking about the money they will get for discovering a new dungeon they decided to just up and leave! Are you kidding me I can’t even kill them unless they go in. Now a bunch of adventurers are going to start coming to my home! No way! Mr. Merchant make them come in my dungeon please! No, way what do you think you are doing!
Ugh…
They left.
I was hoping to get my fifth room soon too. Now I have to make my defences better. I doubt that an adventurer will be an easy kill even after the sleeping merchant gave me his free exp. There is no way I can win without a new powerup.
‘Dungeon Menu’
Add Room Evolve Creatures Expand Room Purchase Item Research Summon Creatures Trap Menu
I focus on the ‘Research’ option and now I have a big decision on how I am going to power up!
5th Room 20 Mp Learn Skill New weapons New creatures New evolutions Repair Core 1 Mp
At least I know how to heal but that is not the priority right now. Right now, I need to stop any more damage from being dealt to me. The ‘Learn Skill’ option is new I must have gotten it from leveling up.

I focus on the ‘Learn Skill’ option and I use the one and only,
‘Appraisal!’
Learn Skill 'Mind Magic' 50 Mp
Mind Magic
A spell that allows one to communicate telepathically and at higher levels influence one's thoughts.
Learn Skill 'Body Manipulation' 200 Mp
Body Manipulation
Allows one to freely move their body and at higher levels can even change their appearance and body structure.
Expand Domain 25 Mp
Expand Domain
Allows for one to claim pre existing land and structures as part of their domain. At higher levels allows one to claim above and below ground.
What is with these skills!? I want these! Why do they have to cost so much? Let me start from the top. Mind magic will let me talk to the humans and tell them that I am not a bad core and that it wasn’t me. Wait, that ain’t going to work. Maybe it would be cool at a high level but for now I don’t have the time to raise my skill levels. I mean ‘Appraisal’ is at level two and I appraised my wall for a whole day! But with body manipulation it sounds like at a high level I will be able to make a human form. A human form! I miss my human form there were so many pleasures to partake in. I miss my potato chips. Wait does this world even have potato chips? NOOOOOOO, my greatest joy in life might be gone. I’ll have to make my own potato chips. That sounds like so much work maybe I can get them out of the purchase item menu later. But ‘Expand Domain’. That is a whole nother story. It is like the capable man who brings home enough money every day for food. With a skill like ‘Expand Domain’ I could get lots of Dp every day. If I could expand my dungeon just 1 km I will have that village as part of my dungeon. But these are soooooo expensive. 200 Mp is way beyond the limit of my Mp.

Let me try out the ‘New Creatures’ option of the menu.
Gain Random New Creature 5 Mp Bat 5 Mp Spider 10 Mp Orc 25 Mp Troll 50 Mp Dark Wolf 50 Mp
Right now the only options I can afford are a random monster or a bat and let me be real here. Who ever heard of death by bats. Although my bats would be pretty ripped with the +1 to every stat and +2 to strength but still. I need cooler fantasy monsters than bats. Like Aka. One day Aka will be the mighty dragon boss of my dungeon. That is the plan at least. So there is an obvious choice. I focus in on the words. Then suddenly the blue screen pops up and rapidly switches between a bunch of different species names. It’s slowing down now and I can start to read them. OMG! A dragon! Oh it went away no luck. It’s not moving and it says ‘Hydra’. This will be amazing! A hydra is just what I needed (assuming I can even afford it).
New creature 'Mushroom' added to the 'Summon Creature' option of the 'Dungeon Menu'
Eh?
I wish I had a table right now so I could flip it. Not that I have ever experienced flipping a table I was too short to raise it high enough to actually tip. This mushroom had better be just as amazing as ‘Dragon’ or ‘Hydra’ would have been. I go to the ‘Summon Creature’ menu.
Fire Serpent 10Mp(-5Mp) R Goblin 2Mp C Mushroom 0Mp C
Well, I do believe 0 Mp is not a very costly summon. Maybe I actually got the best creature of the summon? Haha, after that long streak of failures on the gacha in my game, my gacha luck must be top notch! ‘Appraisal’ time to do your job.
‘Appraisal!’
Mushroom
A fungus that is sometimes edible.
Well yes, that sounds like a mushroom. Not to sure what I was expecting. A walking mushroom that is breathing poison or something. Maybe I got ahead of myself when I said my gacha luck was getting better. This is definitely a turn for the worse. I guess I will summon a few and maybe once I have that ‘Body Manipulation’ skill I can eat them. It’s a good thing I am a Dungeon Core now or I might be drooling. Yes, this is definitely the plan let me add some in.
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
This is kinda fun! It’s like a clicker game! I haven’t played one of these since I died!
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
Oh, no! There is no room left in this room to summon mushroom!
OMG! What have I done? I totally wasted an entire room!
New title 'Fungus Dungeon' gained
'Appraisal!'
Fungus Dungeon
Increased chance for funguses in your dungeon to naturally mutate and evolve.
Wait? Maybe a giant walking mushroom that breathes poison is in my future.
Mushrooms rule!

Data Dragon Danika
After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there's never been a game like it, and they're right but… they're also wrong. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, fantasies, and maybe just a bit of stardust. But in the end, will the game be able to figure out what Danika wants most? Will the desires of other players take priority? Or, will playing it change her, until she desires what it can give her? A journey is always made up of many small steps, and this game has still only just begun.

Thalia Prince
For as long as Thalia can remember she's always felt alone and isolated. Her parents always kept her hidden from the outside world and would never let her do anything on her own. Now she's finally grown and has gotten a small taste of freedom. But when Thalia's Parents aren't who they said they were Thalia will have to forget about the world she's always known and learn how to live in a new one. Not only will she have to discover new creatures and beings, but she will also have to learn to live life like royalty. But what does her Mystery girl have to do with this?! ******** "Trust me, I understand the emotional dilemma you're going through. For the longest time, I wondered why all these people had to die and why I had to be a part of this battle. But now I realize that the best thing I can do for these people is help lay their souls to rest by ending this battle. So that their families and future generations won't have to go through this too." I look at her, noticing the downtrodden expression on her face before she looks up at me and smiles, trying to mask her pain. But she couldn't mask it. Because I had already seen it. And for the first time, I recognize how alike we truly are. Of course, I've noticed how guarded she was with her emotions but that could've been for a multitude of reasons. But now that I've seen this side of her I can't help but think that maybe she's just as lonely as I am. I reach out and silently link my pinky finger with hers trying to show comfort in a subtle way. I want her to know that if no one else will be, I'll always stand by her side. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
