Chapter 3 – Fighting lizardmen
There was something like a weird platform in the shape of a circle in the 0 floor, Black told me that it was something called a 'transportation circle' that can transport me into the next floor, it also had the same weird dragon mark that was in the door to the 0 floor.
I stood in the teleportation circle and suddenly I felt a strange wave that gave me a warm feeling, as I wanted to concentrate before the next fight I didn't give it much thought, I hadn't any thing for a whole day and a night so I was wishing that the monster's meat would be delicious, as for water there was a small lake inside the rest room so the problem of getting thirsty was solved.
Soon, I appeared in the first floor, I saw some strange looking monsters, they looked like crocodiles but they were in a humanoid shape, they had a variety of weapons and a strange panel appeared above their heads indicating their levels.
{ lizardman soldier lv 3 }
{ lizardman commander lv 4 }
As I could see their levels, I realized that their levels were higher than mine, but as I received some extra stats point from absorbing the core and from the title's effect I was confident I could deal with them, most of them were just soldiers but there were a few commanders between them, thinking that I wanted to finish the fight soon so that I can eat, I charged at them.
" #*^y#jn* ", one of the commanders said something in an unknown language, after which the lizardmen swarmed at me and the fight started.
"This is getting hard"
I could easily kill the first soldier but after that it started getting harder as their numbers were big, thinking that I was quite foolish for charging without thinking, I had to find a way to get out of the swarm to think of a way to counter attack this group.
I had to make a gamble with my life at stake; I could see the rest area of this floor near me and there was a lizardman commander in front of me so as I could see that the soldiers were moving by the commander's orders, I thought that if I killed the commander, it would cause confusion between the soldiers which would give me a chance to escape.

"Undying will", I shouted
[You have activated the innate skill 'Undying will', for 30 minutes all of your stats will receive a 15% boost, in addition you will have the special effect of pain resistance for this duration]
I picked up a spear that was used by a dead lizardman and I charged toward the commander with all my might.
" *^j#k**# "
After killing the commander, the soldiers were a bit confused, so I took the chance to dash towards the rest area while holding the corpse of the lizard man commander.
When I managed to get there, I entered the area but before the room closed, two lizard men soldiers entered so I fought them and barely managed to kill them just before the duration of the skill ended.
I lied at the ground while feeling exhausted as I started to think about what to do, I had to think about some kind of a strategy to pull this off as I couldn't just cower in here for the rest of my life.
While thinking about this, I started dismantling the corpse of the lizardmen using a way that Black taught me, after I finished I took a peace of meat and put it in my mouth, the taste was quite horrible as I had to eat raw meat without cooking it because there was no fire that I could.
But then I felt the same sensation I felt while being teleported to the second floor, after giving it some thought I asked Black about it.
[What you felt is something called 'Mana', it is a power that can help you performing magical spells or it can enhance your physical attack, eating the meat of monsters could help replenish your mana but as you don't have any skill that uses mana you felt that sensation because of the excess mana that your body couldn't take]
Wait..., let's leave the strange magical spells for now but what if I used mana to enhance my physical attack, it maybe the way to get out of this situation.
I tried testing this somehow by gathering my mana around my spear and then I attacked a rock that was in the rest area.
What?!, the rock was shattered to small pieces, I could tell that my attack power was amplified at least twice but I felt the mana consumption in my body.

After I tested the attack, I found a way to solve the problem of mana consumption by placing the blood of the lizardmen in a container that I made from their tough skin, although I didn't like drinking blood but it was the only efficient way for now.
I also found a core in the lizardman commander's heart but there weren't any inside the regular soldiers, I realized that not all the monsters had cores, although I thought about absorbing it but I gave up the idea for now, I wanted to gather all the cores from them before absorbing them later while using 'Undying will' to limit the pain for now.
When I walked out of the rest area, the lizardmen were quite surprised but they charged at me following their commanders orders.
I used 'Shadow steps' to avoid them, then I dashed towards the commanders, dealing with an unorganized army was much better.
[You used the skill 'Shadow steps', your speed becomes accelerated by 30% and your reflexes will get faster]
I started to kill the commanders with my spear which was strengthened by mana, as they fell one after one the lizardmen became more unorganized by the second.
Then after killing the last commander, I heard the sweet vice of leveling up
[You have leveled up]
[You received 5 stats points for leveling up]
I quickly put 3 points in strength and 2 in agility, then I started killing the soldiers, it was still a put harder to fight them even while using mana, then a good idea came to my mind, I drank some blood and I started spinning my spear while gathering most of my mana to create a mini sized mana spiral and directed it towards the lizard men.
Most of them died by that move and I drank more blood to replenish my mana.
[You created the skill 'Whirlwind spear' lv 1 ]
['Whirlwind spear' lv 1 (Spear skill)
Skill description: by gathering mana around your spear you can create a small sized mana storm.
Mana consumption: uses 40% of the mana the amount can decrease as the level of the skill goes up]
After killing all the lizard men, a huge sized one appeared.
{ lizardman general lv 5 }
He swung his huge longsword at me but I avoided it using 'Shadow steps' and we started attacking each others but suddenly I realized that there was another lizardman who tried to do sneak attack.
So in order to end it faster, I used 'Whirlwind spear' which killed the soldier while the general was able to avoid a part of it but he was gravely wounded as such the battle didn't take much before it ended.
[You have leveled up]
[You received 5 stats points for leveling up]
[You received 1 skill point for clearing the floor]
This time I put 2 points in strength, 1 in endurance, 1 in constitution and I put the last point in agility.
This time I decided to put the skill point to level up spear mastery as I wanted to know what would happen if it reached lv 10.
['Spear mastery (beginner)' have become lv 10]
[As 'Spear mastery (beginner)' became lv 10 it was upgraded and became 'Spear mastery (intermediate)' lv 1}
['Spear mastery (intermediate)' lv 1
Skill description: you can use infuse your spear with mana more efficiently, in addition the strength of your spear attacks increases greatly]
[As 'Spear mastery' reached (intermediate), the consumption of the spear skill 'Whirlwind spear' decreases to 30% of the mana]
After resting and having a quick meal, I checked my stats once more before heading towards the pile of corpses.

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks
