I sit on a table eating dinner with the girls while tossing up three small crystal marbles.

On the far table was a bleach pale man who looked our way.

In front of me is once more a similar screen that could change how I do things.

You are about to use a Dungeon Maker Low Grade Exp Crystal. For what do you wish to use the Exp for?

“Ace, what are you doing? Also put those things away.” Charlotte said a bit worried.

“Charlotte, what do you know about the leading wolf of the grey wolf pack?” I asked.

She sat down eating while humming while gathering her thoughts.

“If I am not wrong, it's considered a type of spirit. It is said to be several hundred years old but it requires one of the most mysterious flowers in the world to keep his strength. It’s called the Moonlight Azure Bloom. It's a very unique flower that grows solely off of mana but it only blooms under direct moonlight from a full moon. It releases a unique type of mana when it blooms and it aids in grey wolves in evolving but they don’t become silver wolves. I don’t exactly know what they become but soon after about 30% of the wolf pack would vanish.” Charlotte explained.

“So it follows the logic we know…” I said.

“Mn, silver wolves always seem to accompany a rare flower. How do you plan on actually getting it or attracting the boss?” Misaki asked.

“Oh that isn’t a problem, Ace just needs to make an appropriate boss room that can feed moonlight into the room. As long as the room or dungeon is filled with moonlight then it will soon be drawn in.” Charlotte said.

“That's a tall order, well let's get the room done with, let's see dirt floor, grass along the sides, big stone center back for a bed for the wolf, room should be 24 x 24 x 10 and plant some random trees on the edges. Ground should be fertile and the room filled with a bit extra mana then the rest. Does that seem about right?” I say.

"How big is 24x24 meters?" Charlotte asked.

"If you put three of the current rooms I have next to each other in three rows that would be the size more or less." I said.

"That is a large room, you can even make a small trade plaza in such a place. Anyway, that is an appropriate size for a boss room. As for the details, it seems fine." Charlotte said.

“Don’t forget the moonlight.” Misaki says.

“How do we get that effect?” I asked.

“Well runes I guess... maybe? I did hear once that during the night of a full moon, moonstone gemstones glow as bright even if they are stored away without contact to the moonlight." Charlotte said.

"Are they expensive?" I asked.

"Not overly so, 25 silver for a palm sized gemstone. 5 silver coins for an unrefined gemstone." Charlotte said.

"Wow, did expect for it to be cheap to such a degree." Misaki said.

"It’s not cheap, 25 silver is 2,500 copper coins. In our worlds international currency that makes it 2,500 dollars for one gemstone." I said.

"Oh I see, I'm also sure this doesn't take into account the various varieties." Misaki said.

"Moonstones aren't that rare, when polished it does make a beautiful gem but in truth only the category of rainbow moonstone is considered valuable with unrefined gemstones costing 50 gold coins and refined ones varying by craftsmanship." Charlotte said and looked around before moving her shirt aside for a moment and pulling out a gem that was very beautiful with a blue color and wispy cloud like rock formation as well as some green and orange mixed in. The gem looked like glass that had captured pure moonlight inside and split its colors a bit to show them off.

She quickly hid the stone and looked around carefully.

"The reason gems aren't rare is because of the earth mana veins. These are locations where earth mana is abundant is where minerals are gathered. The mana naturally regenerates the earth with minerals so when metals are exhausted we just need to collapse the tunnels and let the land rest. Earth mana veins are one type of vein, they are all part of what is called the great Dragons Veins that exist below the ground." Charlotte said.

"I'm sure I will need these stones to finish the room. I will also need to get trees and shrubs from the forest and gather dirt. How long until the full moon?" I asked.

"Maybe 4 days, I have not looked but the mana gathering around the moonstone usually warns me." She says.

"Then let's do this, you girls return to the adventurers branch and report the goblin mission as complete and get the reward. I will remain and gather the materials needed for all the rest while you girls get a few moonstones." I said.

"That is fine with me." Misaki says.

Charlotte nods as well.

With that set I press upgrade room.

Which Room would you like to Upgrade?

Wooden room

With only one option I press it.

How would you like to upgrade this room?

Change appearance

Change material

Branch to new type of room

I hit the third option.

What type of room do you wish to branch this room to?

Boss room

Large room

Similar sized room with different purpose

I hit boss room and it tells me to specify the details and the pages flip and a room drawing appeared on the new page.

The drawing was modifiable.

I change the size of the room first, change the materials of the floor, raise the ceiling add moonstones to the ceiling making it look like stars in the night sky. Then adding a large stone on the middle back area followed by adding trees, grass, weeds, fruit bushes and flowers, some herbs and so on.

It took roughly an hour of discussing with the others before we finally finished designing the room.

This room was signed as a boss room, as it was created by payment of exp stones the room construction shall be automatic. Only one wooden room can be converted to the boss room.

Time until room is built, please supply vegetation as there is a lack of several varieties.

Moonstones will expend more time and mana to complete the room.

Estimated time until room a complete. 7:00:00:00 if construction materials are supplied the time will decrease.

Would you like to begin?

"Yes." I say and one exp crystal glowed and entered the book.

"Good, seven days I can decrease this time by getting materials but to generate the moonstone will take the longest." I say.

"Then let’s get going Charlotte-sama." Misaki says and get us.

Charlotte follows while I get up.

We walk out while I take a look at the man that tried to attack.

He looks down frowning but I don't mind him and leave.

We leave the town and split up.

First I summon the three new puppets and order them to focus on crafting equipment and to start an experiment.

"I will designate a location where you must bury equipment. Once they are buried learn nature molding then mix that skill into the equipment. Also craft some tools, axes, shovels." I say and send back the three new puppets.

Craftsmen are important so I need to set up a base workforce. I also wonder what other crafts skills are.

Walking into the woods I walk deeper into the woods and soon reach the goblin camp.

The huts were made of timber like a log cabin.

Yeah I really was going to do this. Putting the pen on the log cabin "Archive material".

The runes spread around the walls and soon the burst into light and I obtained over 50 logs in one go.

The boss room walls were set to be dirt like the corridors that made wood a necessity to set up the inner portions. I archive another hut to have surplus.

"Now I need dirt." I say and exit the village and saw a small mound on the west side of the village.

Looking inside the village and how flatish the land was I figured they must have flattened the land.

I walk until the edge.

"Archive material"

Dirt is ever present around everything. Please designate where you want to take dirt.

"Archive the small dirt hill in front of me." I say.

The pen glows and two lines spreading opposite directions and circled the mound. When it connected the circle widened on its own until it reached the flattest land.

Next runes spread out and soon the hill burst into particles of light.

In one sitting I acquired around several tons of dirt.

"This is a really good method for flattening land for construction." I said to myself.

"Designate material to boss room construction." I say.

Dirt and wood materials present supplying construction materials to new room construction.

Wood and dirt demand satisfied. Time until construction completion 4:15:23:45

"Two and a half days speed up, not bad. I now need bushes and grass, trees as well." I mutter.

I walk around and archive still planted trees and after taking around 20 as well as 45 bushes, I meet the demand for vegetation dropping the time by 2 more days.

Going to the water's edge I find lots of rocks but after searching I found several decent rocks and archive them dealing with the wolfs stone bed problem. Now only a day and a half before the room is complete.

"Guess all that's left now is the moonstones. Oh right, with two crystals maybe I can upgrade mana drop flower into something similar to the Moonlight flower the wolves like." I mutter.

I return to the empty goblin village and sit in its center and open the upgrade for the vegetation.

I then press the mana drop flower.

Evolutionary options for the Mana Drop Flower

Mana Flow Blossom

Heavenly Light Mana Drop Flower

Mana Blossom

Self made flower

I was really surprised by the fact that last option.

I press it and say the main features.

"Flower that grows off mana in the air and earth and blossoms only under the light of the full moon."

Features correspond with existing flower, Moonlight Azure Blossom. Would you like to evolve a pair of Mana Drop Flowers into Moonlight Azure Blossoms.

Warning, due to the very nature of this plant, the necessary mana needed for this evolution will use all exp crystals and all stored mana to produce and will incur a -500 to the mana regeneration of Book of the Dungeon maker so for each flower planted for 2 hours

"Holy shit! This is a fucking high demand flower. No wonder that damn mutt needs to keep moving around searching for good spots to plant this thing in, the fucking flower sucks the area dry." I curse.

Before accepting I summon the guardian out of precautions since I had no idea how this would affect my skills and summons. Finally I accept and the two exp crystals instantly vanished and the book visibly dulled from its normal white cover.

I open and find no dots in the still open dungeon and even the farm dungeon wasn't working. The mana regen was zeroed by the suction, no it was five hundred negative since it is two flowers.

This boss is seriously needy but at least I can harvest a rare plant due to it now

"Great, it seem I can't use my skills until the book finishes making the plants." I mutter.

I send the Guardian out to patrol the village just to keep animals out. With the freetime available until the girls return, since we promised to meet here, I pull out a wooden carving knife I got from the puppets and looking around I found some wood and took a stick back to where I was before and begin killing time trying to sculpt.

I did mention I was a NEET right, so obviously I know the benefits of being a sculptor. Hey if I figure out the moon rune I could play around as that class. The moonlight blade is OP like hell since it ignores defense.

For the next hour I spent making several parts and when I noticed I had a hand sized wooden puppet but the marionette kind found on earth.

"I really am fixed on puppets huh..." I mutter.

"Well, what do we have here?!" A loud voice called out.

I turned to look and find that adventurer guy and the four others from his party plus eight more grunts. If I remember correctly, they had around twenty grunts. I sure cleaned up.

"You guys need something?" I asked just before a prompt saying I gained the sculpting skill and it mixed with my crafter skill.

“Yeah, your head!” The leader shouted. “Once we kill you we will wait for those bitches and teach them a lesson. You were really lucky brat for surviving that dungeon but your luck's run out.” The leader shouts.

“Boss, let's not forget that rainbow moonstone one of the girls had, I bet she is loaded or from some rich ass family.” another man said.

“Heh, that little stone will let us all retire and this goblin village is a good place to make a base and hire some peasants to work the fishing business making us richer. But first, I want to torture this fucker until he cries for his mama!” The leader shouted with a vicious grin on his face.

They pull out their swords and all grin as well with the mage already chanting to catch me.

“Guardian, front and center!” I shout.

BOOM!

Hearing my shout the guardian jumps over several huts before landing five meters in front of me with a loud bang.

Obviously even with his bulky size you can’t underestimate him at full strength. After all he personally said his strength was on par with a boss monster from the 50th floor of a dungeon. It goes to show his own power and because he doesn’t need to think much he can use my rune knowledge in attacks more efficiently than I can.

All the men ready to run at me stopped and even stumbled. After all the power behind the jump and his weight, which couldn’t be any less than 2 or 3 tons, caused quite a strong tremor that even shook the nearby houses let alone the men standing some 15 meters away.

I, who was sitting down, only felt the powerful vibrations and had no worries though it was a shock how he decided to appear.

“Boss… that’s the thing that was guarding the gathering point in the dungeon!” One man shouted.

“What the fuck is that thing doing here?!” the boss replied.

“Oh, you guys know about him, heh, it seems I don’t need to introduce you then, I will make it short and simple. This is a Level 75 Dungeon Guardian Puppet that I have bound to myself through my class. Take care. Now guardian, besides the boss and those of the six upper ranked members of their group, kill the grunts.” I say simply.

“Yes master!” He said and gripped the sword on his back and pulled it out.

With the long sword in hand the already pale men lost all fighting spirit when they heard level 75.

“It’s a Middle B rank monster! RUN!” one man said.

All the men ran and I wondered what they meant by B rank. I know the adventurer ranking goes from F to A then S to SSS. Could it be a level system for monster as well. If level 10 is E rank then 25 D, 40 C, 75 B. I need to check that, I remember there was quest requirement so I think the lower ranks of adventurers is just by contribution but other ranks probably require strength.

With the men running the guardian gave only a quick push off the ground, that left man cracks and lifted up dirt, and soon reached the first one.

“Make sure to bring back the upper ranked men.” I shout.

With one swing the man was split in half and the shock wave from the hit reaching the ground caused a quake and sent a shockwave at the other men.

My jaw dropped as I watched, I really didn’t expect him to be this powerful. Since I had him tank he didn’t attack much but could take several goblins each hit but he was held back. I never expected him to possess such a degree of power.

“I really need to test out his max strength, speed and other aspects or else I will blindly send him out against someone too strong and get him destroyed or against someone to weak and look like I am bullying them… everyone besides that retard hero though.” I mutter.

In a matter of minutes the grunts were killed and the rest were beaten into submission and brought back.

“Now then, I will warn you all only once, leave me and my party alone and I will leave you alone. Next time you come pursuing us I will throw you inside my death trap dungeon for you to die miserable deaths. Also don’t you dare speak a word of the fact that the dungeon you saw belongs to me because that will be your end as well. Am I understood?” I asked.

The all bowed with their heads to the floor.

“YES SIR!! PLEASE SPARE US!” they all shout in unison.

“Good now beat it and take those dead sacks of blood my minion killed and begone.” I tell them.

In an instant they were gone and reluctantly took the dead bodies as well.

“Sheesh, so much hassle, still didn’t expect it was so easy to order the death of another human. Guess I just didn’t care for people who were being a pain in the ass.” I mutter and sat down and begin to carve into a long branch which I wanted to make a sword. I wanted to see if I could have semi crafted wooden weapons made into the magically infused ones if so it would cut production time so much.

An hour later I had two swords and a wooden axe all poorly made but it was made. It was then that a group walked into the camp lead by the girls.

“This is a good camp, it can make a good fishing village and soon port town in the Devian River.” A tall man said.

“I am happy to see you like it, since we obtained it by killing the goblins we can sell it to the adventurers guild for a small sum of 1000 gold coins. With the fish available and the woods abundant in wood this village will turn into a port in little time and make up that sum very quickly.” Charlotte said in a business tone.

Two very full bags landed in her hand a moment later.

“You have accomplished the mission, good job girls, that young man is part of your party I presume so I will have someone check his adventurer card and register this mission as your accomplishment. Thank you for the hard work.” The man said.

“Thank you sir.” the girls say and bow.

“BOYS! Get working, the village is ours and we need renovations!” The leader says.

I get up and go to the girls and like I had heard from far away someone came and asked to examine the card we got and he did so before leaving.

“So got the gems?” I asked.

Misaki drops her bag and after searching a bit she pulls out a leather pouch about the size of a soft ball.

“We got several, not many.” She said.

I open it and see the gems all palm sized. I put the pen to them and say archive material but nothing happens.

“Damn, still can’t make use it. Seems making the flowers the wolves cherish so much takes a lot out of my book.” I said and explain what happened.

They were shocked when they heard it.

“It shouldn’t take that much more time, let’s go eat then wait for it to finish making the flowers so we can add the moonstones and fix up the dungeon. It may take a few days for the wolf to enter though but it shouldn’t take long if you add the mana flowers and one of the moonlight blossoms in the boss room. After that there may even lack space in the dungeon for so many wolves.” Misaki said.

“Yeah, let's go rest first then get this over with.” I said.

We leave the village and return to the town inn and pass the rest of the day doing nothing until I could use the book again and added the moonstones. With them put it would take until midnight for it to finish since there aren’t many gemstones I obtained. As for the dungeon itself, I added several more rooms in the first floor to become the wolves den and left it as so.
