Ch.10 Mana ain't cheap you know
I was ready to make myself the best labyrinth I could, bringing up the creation skill i began with my core room. Sense Q'ill was going to be here with me I thought about making it as grand as possible so she could enjoy it, especially sense I didn't know how far my forcefield could spread, however I quickly hit a wall.
[Not enough resources to begin crafting. Please add adjustments were necessary]
My core room full of comfort items like a giant bed on top large piles of gold and gems and other nick nacks has red all-over, hovering my hand over the closest bed a window full of a bunch of materials pop up.
[(Large Deluxe Bed XXL)
Material's Required.
Silk (any) 0/20
Wood (any) 530/10
Bird down (any) 0/50
Springs (any) 0/5
Elemental mana (Wind) 48/50]
Looking at the list of ingredients I immediately could tell that I can't make something out of nothing. I also need things like silk wich can't be made without Silk worms, however sense I can make a bed then I can definitely craft springs. After some experiments I understood what (any) meant, clicking it shows materials of all types to choose from I can literally make springs out of rock or wood even if they don't work well or at all in the stone case.
However that was not the troublesome part,(Elemental mana (Wind) 48/50) I need more mana looking at my Statistics icon i noticed something I overlooked.
Prismatic Dungeon Core: Malpetios
Mana: 39/500
Elemental mana: 48/421,474
Pure mana: 4
My mana is red while Elemental mana is blue and Pure mana is white.. I suddenly got a bad feeling about this and asked the system for clarification.
[Beginning Mana System Explanation.

Mana: The Life Source of the Core, functions like energy for the managing of skills like host levitation and Dungeon specialize skills. Current Output: 2(+2) mana per day. (Q'illtress Birch Blossom is sustained by host mana)
Elemental Mana: Use to cast spells or the creation of materials and equipment, fifty points can be converted to one Mana or reverse.(Q'illtress Birch Blossom shares Host resources)
Pure Mana: Useless mana for Dungeon Core, can be used to power up the cores creature's or allies. One hundred Mana can be Converted to one Pure Mana, can't be converted to mana.(Can be traded to the world for necessities and manpower)]
I knew it! In all games I've ever played red was reserved for health or life of the player or creature, this meant that I was currently almost dead!
*Miss Qill! I'm almost dead my mana is only thirty-nine what can I do!!*
~Sweetie calm down, you still have enough mana nearby to keep yourself save, see.~
she pointed at the nearly glass like gems in my geode, I remembered that they were mostly all full of color before my hibernation.
*They are mana? Wait no I have the same mana and Elemental mana I did when I was sleeping and now, how is that possible?*
Miss Q'ill looked a bit ashamed and hopeless.
~That's probably my fault dear.. You see when I saw that you were disappearing I used a forbidden skill that gives my remaining life and mana to you, in exchange I can no longer live outside the cores forcefield and can no longer absorb Elemental mana by myself.
A normal magical creature produces three mana per day out of the Elemental mana they have compatibility with and consumes too, this of course doesn't take into account any Magic rich food they intake. You being a Dungeon Core can produce mana at a 100% efficiency meaning that you can easily absorb mana one to one and Elemental mana can be rapidly converted with no wastage.~

I understood in that moment, I can absorb the mana straight out of the gems in my geode to sustain my consumption for both me and miss Q'ills daily output that explains the too plus too in the mana description that means that in in ten hours my body will spent four mana to keep both of us alive and well, Miss Q'ill can probably maintain herself if I had food with mana to give her but without it I'm her life support. With that in mind I try to think of eating the mana inside the gemstone, to my surprise it works easily, the System remarks on my efforts.
[Absorbing mana. Mix elements detected, do to host Prismatic Dungeon Core all mana can be absorbed no matter the element.]
[Host has received 4 mana]
I was happy to see that I got my mana problem resolved this also explain why my instincts would forcefully open the way outside my safe heaven, with no more mana nearby, the body would reject the idea of eating itself for a few more day's of safety knowing that theres a buffet, just out of reach.
Now the problem i have is how am I gona make my Labyrinth? If I had spent the mana in my geode to craft my Labyrinth I would have made myself a strong defense, however I would probably be dead to the lingering wills so I can't complain. With only nine hours left I remember that the System said that all materials for the rooms I crafted in my mind scape would be supplied to me for free that should also include Elemental mana no? The System however thought otherwise.
[Host; Mana or Elemental mana will not be provided for the reward of (Adoption Cave) attempting to solve Host mana problem. Please Standby.]
I swear the System is stingy with anything with mana but has no problems asking for me to spent it.
[ Solution found. The will, Code name Muscles by host can be drained of a total of 350,000 Elemental mana in exchange for 1 Pure mana. Would Host accept this Exchange.]
I widen my eyes, Muscles has so much mana? Wait did the System just tried to entice me? This reminds me of the one time offer for new players in games pay one dollar get a huge bargain, I am starting to think the System just slapped my face for the stingy insult. I however don't mind getting slap right now and quickly agreed.
My Core body started to shine in rainbow light a feeling of ecstasy going through out my body after looking at my Statistics my mana quickly rous to full.
Prismatic Dungeon Core: Malpetios
Mana: 500/500
Elemental mana: 327198/421,474
Pure mana: 3
I felt like each corner of my mind was dancing, I was truly ready for anything now.
* He-he invaders? let's see who breaks first my Core or you're will to live, welcome to hell bitches Ha-ha-ha!!!*

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
8 72The Adventures of Rat Damon
12/20/2021: we're back to work! Rat Damon reflects on his life of adventuring, both before and after meeting Jack Jensen of earth. He recounts many of his experiences, both happy and sad. He regales you with the tales of power found and love lost. This is a side-adventure based on our The Other Guys series. Rat Damon makes an appearance in Heroes of Last Resort but is much more than a simple rat. What I will post here is going to be a lot rougher than Heroes as I am writing and posting as I go along, so my apologies go out to you in advance! However, I will revise as needed as we go along. As writing isn't my full-time gig, the posting of new material here will likely be a bit irregular and as far as what length this book will be, it remains to be seen. This was originally envisioned to be a 30-40k word novella but one never knows where the story will take me. Do not fret, book 2 in the series is well on its way, in fact much farther along than this novel(la?). We will see where Rat Damon takes, I guess! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I had writing it.
