Syrath Slashed down with a spear-like leg meeting the steel shield of the human male knight.

Go! Go! Syrath, go! Go! my greatest creation!

I had found out the ability to rename monsters and since my floor master is my greatest creation yet it, of course, has to be named.

The spider hatchlings dropped down adding to the swarm. The heinous Lion kin male and villainous dwarf male fought the growing swarm. The evil elf female was trying to get the baby spiders off the unconscious wicked sorceress. The blue group is rapidly making their way toward the floor master's room, being unable to command the normal monsters all I can do is watch. Perhaps I can trap the entrances to the Floor Master's room. With that realization, I access the Trap options.

I create a pitfall trap at the entrances and upgrade them to be spiked, then I create and upgrade to poisoned arrow trap, and create and upgrade to a razor tripwire so that if they fall from the wire they'd fall into the pitfall, if they climb out of the pitfall then they'd fall for the arrow trap. I must be the smartest dungeon to think of something like that, truly a masterful plan!

The battle raged on, the intruders killing more of the swarm but they are also tiring out, the spiderlings growing larger as time passes. Although the swarm is weak compared to the intruders, the number of them is a problem. Syrath drew back from attack the Human Male recovering from his provoking skill and laid more egg sack and hindered the intruders was webbing, truly a creation worthy of the position 'Floor Guardian'.

[Commanding Presense] Syrath started attacking again in a frenzy, seems like the wicked knight limits my monsters attacks but they attack relentlessly. "We need to use a burn tactic, the queen will continue to create more adds"

"Alright, let's unleash our most powerful attacks" The villainous dwarf male replied.

As that was happening the blue group reach the traps.

"Hold!" The Wood elf male said. "This hall feels dangerous" He looked around carefully wondering dangerously close to the trip wire.

"Traps?" the orc female asked.

"I'm no thief or rouge but it certainly feels that way"

[Revelation of Danger] the male mage chanted. The traps from my masterfully laid out plan started glowing red color.

That's Cheating! Cheater! I need an anti-magic trap or something.

"Wow, there's three of them" The wood elf male said as they carefully walked around the traps.

GRRR, couldn't outwit my perfect plan so you had to cheat...

"I hear fighting" The male wood elf warned.

"Are they really trying to kill it before we got here?" The blondie said drawing out her rapier from her parasol.

The orc female swung her axe down on the webbing blocking the entrance.

"Damn Tough! It must be harder than steel!"

"Looks like they are trapped in there" The cheater said.

Hmph, i'd like to see you cheat your way through that!

[Breaker]! The orc female shouted swinging her axe down with all her might cleaving half webbing through

Wh-what kind of brute are you?!

"And again!" [Breaker]! The brute cleaved through the rest webs with that next slash.

"Alright now we can go through!" The male samurai cheered and rushed in.

[Iai] the male samurai shouted slashing through a wave of spiderlings.

[Frost Nova] the bald male mage chanted and a burst of ice rippled through my poor monsters they must be frightened by these scary intruders, the way they charged in with an intimidating roar.

[Rapid Fire] with a stream of magical shots the male gunslinger mowed down the innocent spiderlings they never had a chance to grow up.

[Critical Strike] [Thrust] Blondie shot forward using the back of the male samurai to jump over the enemies and stab poor Syrath in one of her eyes.

Ahh! Syrath, hold strong against these cheaters and villains.

[Mass Heal] the villainous group had a white and pure light envelop them and their wounds closed and the bleeding stopped. [Cure] [Protection against poison].

"Thanks, Thera" The wicked knight said, recovering from the venom that the spiders injected into him.

[Mass Blessing of Strength] the angel kin continued to buff the intruders.

Hacks! That group is made of hackers and cheaters!

[Rapid Thrust!] with a blur Blondie's arm stabbed the eyes of Syrath one by one. My poor Syrath screeched in pain, being slaughtered like an animal.

[Adrenalin Rush] [Intoxicating Thrill] buffing herself the brute gave a war cry and savagely attacked the shrinking group of spiderlings.

Why? Why are they torturing my innocent monsters? What did they ever do to you, Syrath is even crying, the poor thing. Blood dripped down from the stabbed eyes of the Floor Guardian as it thrashed about, blinded; It looked anything but sad, more furious than anything.

[Arrow rain]

[multi shot]

the two rangers hailed down arrows to finish off the spiderlings leaving only Syrath, after that the intruders focused their attacks on her using their strongest attacks. It didn't take long for Syrath to fall.

The Intruders cheered and whooped in celebration, it had been a tough fight even though they are of similar level, a boss is still a boss, something that would normally take a raid.

My-my greatest creation... killed by these cheaters... It was even a spider, their greatest weakness. Clearly if even exploiting their weakness doesn't work then I must create a stronger monster, an unbeatable monster, my Magnum Opus. What's the strongest monster I have the capability of making?

Accessing my databanks and looking at the types of monsters I find that there are very few types monsters that have a power rank of 10, Angels/demons, magical beasts, and slimes. The angels have the Seven Virtues, The demons have the Seven Sins, Magical beasts have the Dragons and Phoenix and the slimes can become the Assimilator. These monsters, if made into a floor guardian or sector Lord, has an additional buff they enhance monsters with unique to the specific monster.

Alright! now I just need to create one of these guys... wait I don't meet the requirement.

This monster cannot be created on this floor

Dammit! alright, I'll just create it on the second floor.

This monster cannot be created on this floor

WHY?!

With a sigh of frustration, I turn my focus to the evil intruders and cheaters they are desecrating the corpse of Syrath.

"Not bad materials, rare tier quality" the wicked knight said inspecting the fangs "It'll add a poisoning effect to attacks"

"That's a very rare attribute one that would fetch a high price even for a "Rare" rarity material" (Evil female elf)

"This carapace isn't bad either it's Rare rarity and has the ability to completely negate physical attacks for 10 seconds once per day" (Bald Cheater)

"My current armor already has that effect," (wicked knight)

"Got Some magical spider silk, it only enhances defense, good for armor though" (blondie)

After Brutally murdering my Syrath they rip apart her corpse, these guys are pure evil.

"So what should we do? go to the second floor or leave and take a break?" (wicked knight)

"You may leave if you want but we are going to check out the second floor, we won't do much but we'll at least see what's ahead" (blondie)

"We'll go with you, the monsters shouldn't be much trouble anyway" (Villainous Dwarf)

"Alright, at least you'll can soak up some more damage if we ever get in a pinch" Blondie haughtily said.

"You don't have to be so Tsundere" wicked knight mutter under his breath.

The evil sorceress woke up and her group checked to see if she was alright, after that they made their way down to the second-floor entrance, the ornate door was now open.

"Onward!" The Brute Whooped, braving the stairs.

"Time to see what's ahead" (Vile Lion kin)

"Please no more spiders!" (evil sorceress cried)

Sorry to tell you but there are more spiders on that floor hehehe.

The large group descended and entering the next Sector they saw plant monsters. They were just outside the room as to not attract the attention of the monsters.

"Well, how strong are they?" blondie said impatiently "You guys have higher inspection skill"

"Hold on! Hmmm, average level is 21, I see the sector lord buff and a room master buff but not a floor guardian buff. Looks like the treant standing there is the room boss level 33" (wicked knight)

"That's quite the level jump!" The wood elf male was shocked.

"Indeed if this keeps up per floor we'd have trouble getting to lower floors" (Bald Cheater)

"Let's go back, for now, we should report this to the guild hall" (blondie)

Hmmm, they were determined by power level 2 monsters? perhaps these monsters are actually awesome?! Then, if these guys are this awesome how awesome will power level 3 be?

I can't wait to create my third floor which will have access to those levels of power with excitement of my success at scaring away these evil intruders the recent events of the floor guardian battle left my mind, now focused on trying to obtain these awesome monsters I look for other adventurers to try and scare away.

without much to do all I could do is watch and my monsters are defeated by the intruders.

The evil and cheater group left the dungeon prompting a surprising reward.

Intruders chased out 2592 Exp rewarded

So much! How are they worth so much?

I am now over half way to level 2 in one day I've doubled my exp. As the day passed more and more intruders left but some wanted to stay longer

"Maaan! if only there were rooms were we won't be attacked, this is the only time I can get away from my nagging wife" a middle-aged man with greying hair said.

"A retired adventurer dungeon diving just to get away from his wife..." a younger adult bearkin male muttered.

"Immagine my excitement when this dungeon appeared "Wife I've got a great new job, it'll pay way more" I told her"

What is a wife? I wondered while going through my databanks for any such information. I my databank incomplete? I have no information on such a race.

"What did she say" The bearkin male asked

"That's great news what is?" HAHA! I told her then immediately ran out the door! no way am I going to stay for that lecture" (Old Male)

Sounds like a terrible creature, is that why I am getting intruders? Are they running from something more terrifying? Let me see what a safe room does anyway... What?! I can get mana from the intruders from these things? It says it'll heal them for the cost of giving me mana. Why didn't I make these sooner!?

The safe rooms have 3 upgrade paths, they can turn into something that let the intruders make weapons and repair their weapons, another is a secret shop room that'll let them buy items with mana, only one of these per floor though. the last is a safe room that provides a place to rest. looks like these will be very useful to gaining more mana.

a safe room costs 3000 mana, more than what I have. Looks like I'll have to wait to create these.

The next day after letting my mana recharge I have enough mana to either create a safe room or make a Stalker boss, the choice was obvious, I create the Stalker and several Hunter squads of monsters to control. The Stalker is in the beast Sector a large white wolf it has a pack of wolfs for the 'wolf pack' bonus. Upon creation, the Stalker began patrolling the zone I access it's menu and change the name from {Sector Stalker: Dire Wolf} to {Sector Stalker: Loro}

Now time to test my cute Loro! Loro Go to the border close to the Insect Sector and wait in ambush for intruders.

I create and gave the same command to the three hunter squads of adorable wolves. A couple hours later an Intruder group made their way into the beast sector.

"Finally! I was getting tired of those bugs" a young dark elf male said. he was dressed in light armor and had too many daggers sheathed around his armor

"Yeah, i'm glad this is a multi-type dungeon you don't get sick of fighting the same type of monsters over and over again" A female dark elf agreed, she was in chitin armor with a shell shield and weilded a sword

"Score for the dark elves of Dungeon conquring!" another dark elf male cheered. He was dressed in spidersilk robes and carried a staff

"What's with that lame name?" an older dark elf male said, this one was dressed in wood armor and his staff had leaves growing on it.

"We need a name for our dark elf only party" the dark elf mage replied

"Don't make up some lame name!" The dark elf druid smacked the mage with his staff.

Pounce on them my adorable monsters!

The wolves started rushing toward the room just as the lame-named group engaged some elks.

"I'm getting a bad feeling" the dark elf rogue warned.

"Is it a trap?" The dark elf warrior asked

"I think it's more monsters, my Monster sense skill is lower than my trap sense skill, judging by the difference in the skills it's monsters"

"Shit are the ambushes happening again?!" The druid cursed

Loro and the hunters joined the fight. except only Loro's group did, the hunters stopped as if running into a wall.

Why?! is only one group allowed in a single room? damn I was banking on that.

"How strong are the adds?" the warrior asked, intercepting Loro's group

"Says it's a sector Stalker, whatever that is... be careful it's level 25!" The rogue reported

"Gah! why didn't you say that before?! It hits damn hard!" The warrior complained

"It's a boss! We can't handle it! we need to run!" The druid shouted.

[escape smoke] the Rogue used an escape skill to disorientate the wolves and they ran back toward the entrance.

Yes! All shall fear Loro!

Just then something interrupted my celebration

An unknown error occurred in monster group: Stalker 1

Running diagnostic...

...

...

Could not find a cause of the error Would you like to send a report? Yes No

Useless, as always I swear the diagnostic is broken, whenever there is a problem it can't find it. Anyway, who would I send a report to? The one who nerfed me? if I send them this report they'll take poor Loro away from me, no way am I letting that happen!

I select the option "no"

I will protect you Loro!
