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!!!*

Of Frost and Steel
After being kicked out of home by her own parents, Emily found herself living in the house of an old woman while working as a plumber to help pay the bills. Her slightly unusual but still very normal life came to an abrupt end one day when an incoming car crashed into hers. When she next opened her eyes, she found no ambulance or hospital room waiting for her. What she found were instead the faces of beings much larger than her who were not entirely human, and the opportunity to live a new life, free of her old one. WARNING: This fiction is dedicated to a friend of mine who spent twelve years of her life hiding who she was because she feared the reaction of her family. For this reason it contains LGBT themes, although they won't be the sole or main focus of the story. The story contains sexual themes, but I will try to keep them to a minimum or make them "fade to black". Chapters will be around 1000 words long and without a fixed release schedule, for the moment.
