《Dungeon from the Void》B3 | Chapter 17 - Quick Work on the Floor
Advertisement
Fenrir
I finish the fourth through second tower floors within a few hours and move my attention towards the first floor of the tower.
What should I do for this floor of the tower...
I mentally sigh before glancing at the intruders, only to find them already starting the third floor.
"They sure moved quickly this time," I mutter to myself in surprise.
Dawn, without taking her focus off of the intruders, says, "Yeah, but that is to be expected. Their previous run was their first run after all."
Hmm, that makes sense.
"Tell me whenever they reach the fourth floor," I say before focusing on the first floor of the tower.
I have already decided on what mana-infused monster to use for the floor, but I haven't decided on anything else as of yet.
The floor has to be special, seeing as it is the final floor of the tower, so I will be using a mana-infused beowolf on the floor.
Unsurprisingly, the mana-infused beowolf looks almost exactly like Blade with the only differences being that it is smaller, less intelligent, and at a lower level.
Now what should I do for this floor...
Perhaps an arena?
The last time I did one of those was on the third floor of the dungeon.
A normal, boring arena won't work though, so I need to find something to change it up a bit...
"That could work..." I mutter before beginning my work on the floor.
I place several lava pools throughout the floor of the tower and put a rising and falling platform in the center of the room.
This is where the most important of the monsters will be entering the room from, with the rest of them entering from secret entrances spread throughout the walls of the room.

Aside from the lava, I place a few void bombs throughout the room to keep the intruders on their toes.
I spend the next twenty or so minutes working on the enchants for the floor.
There will be a total of ten waves, and instead of just entering through one entrance like the last arenas I have made, each wave will have several different entrances used at the same time. However, only the fifth, eighth, and tenth waves will use the entrance in the center of the room.
Meanwhile, the mana-infused monster will be in the final wave and will enter through the central platform along with a few other direwolves.
I give the room one last look over before fixing a couple of problems in my enchant scripts.
"And that should do it..." I mutter after finishing everything.
On to the cavern outside of the tower!
For this floor, I spread multiple pools of lava throughout the entire cavern instead of just a few in one corner.
I then start placing the swords around the floor.
"They just reached the fourth floor," Dawn suddenly says out of nowhere, "how close are you to finishing the fifth floor?"
I answer without pausing in my placement of swords, "I might be done before they reach the fifth floor. Assuming they actually do reach the fifth floor that is."
I feel Dawn's attention shift towards me as she says, "They are doing better than last time, and they know to avoid Blade, so I think they will reach the fifth floor this time."
"That's true," I mutter.
Assuming that they actually do avoid Blade.
Knowing what I have seen so far from these Humans and their pride, it's possible that they might want to fight Blade again.

Although, I get the feeling that the Hybrid might avoid Blade.
I am not really sure why I think that though.
Anyways, I soon finish placing all of the swords and begin enchanting ten of them to act as seals.
First, I write in a script on the boss room's door to open when a signal is no longer being received by any of the ten seals. After that, I set up the seals themselves by having them send a signal when they are touching the matching enchantments in the ground.
It takes me another fifteen or so minutes to finish this before I start spawning monsters throughout the cavern floor.
There will be individual monsters as well as groups of monsters roaming around the floor at random with no distinct pattern.
As I am doing this, I take a moment to glance at the Hybrid's party to check on their progress.
The first thing I see is Leon rushing in twirling his dual swords while fighting against the mana-infused hobgoblin within the fortress.
They are already at the fortress?
That was pretty fast.
It looks like they will be reaching the fifth floor after all.
I should hurry up and finish it before they get here.
I hasten my placing of monsters and finish it after another ten to fifteen minutes, using a void fen and void direwolf as the other two mana-infused monsters for the floor.
Now all that is left is to build the boss room!
But... what should I do for the boss room?
I glance at the intruders and find them slowly skirting around Blade's domain in an attempt to reach the totem without running into him.
Interesting, so they actually are avoiding Blade. Just as I had thought they would.
I turn to Dawn and ask, "Do you have any ideas for the boss room?"
Dawn answers me without taking her focus from the intruders, "Since you are using a bipedal monster for the boss, you could try to make the boss room use a smaller area for fighting."
A smaller area for fighting...
That does sound pretty interesting.
I search through my dungeon for ideas before focusing on the second room of the labyrinth.
Bridges...
That could actually work!
"Thanks Dawn!" I shout at her before rushing to start on the boss room.
This is going to be fun!

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
