“Hugh...” Matt mentally shied, content, happy as could be looking over the results of all of his hard-won labour as he awaited Bob’s arrival.

With its cave walls and egged rooms, each being at least 5 square feet long in size if not shape, and the small cavern tunnels that connected every one of them. His new home or dungeon, as Bob called it, was now as large as he could conceivably make it for the time being, without using up all of his energy in one go something he had promised himself he would never ever do.

‘Soon, soon, I’ll be able to finish it, and then I’ll finally get to see the sky again. Another planet's no less. How cool will that be? Seeing another planet's sky. God, I hope this works. I don't know what I'll do with myself if it doesn't……...’

“So you're excited,” Bob asked finally arriving, immediately pushing Matt out of his head and back to the world that was reality, immediately after being let through Matt’s mental shield, having mentally tapped across the bond several seconds prior, knocking on the door as it were, begging to be let through.

‘Ugh, Why does he have to keep asking me that, of course, I'm excited. Why wouldn't I be, who wouldn’t,' He thought, somewhat annoyed that Bob had to after all this time to even ask that question.

“Yep”, Matt said, drawing upon his excitement as he said the words, careful as to keep the slight amount of fear that he felt to himself. Hiding it behind the mental box that Bob, and the system, called a mental shield.

“You're sure?” Bob said, feelings of uncertainty rippling to Matt from throughout the Bond.

“Yep”. Matt carefully sent back, sure as he could be with such a monumental task ahead of him.

“Ok master, if you say so”. Bob said though Matt could still feel feelings of uncertainty flashing from across the bond.'Dam, I'm never going to get used to this am I'

“So shall we start, Master?” Bob asked a few seconds later.

“Yes, let’s do this”. Matt said and went to do something, something that he wanted to do ever since Bob had first taught him how to access his status, granting him the ability to see all the skills and abilities that the system granted to him as a dungeon core. Activating the skill that would change his world forever. ‘Create...,’

‘Yess, yes, I know,’ Matt thought, having already gone through this process 3 times before, his eyes moving downwards to the list of different monster types that now lay before him, his eyes eagerly looking at one monster in particular.

Undead

Undead are the worst things to happen since the dawn of creation itself. They are unnatural beings created through an unnatural process and as such are hated by all light-sided beings. Undead are considered a dark race and as such all dungeons who pick this option will immediately be hostile by all those that are of the light but those of the dark will have you in open arms brother.

‘Bug’s’ Matt thought/said, selecting Bugs as his creature of choice without an ounce of hesitation or regret, having made up his mind the very second he’d sighted them in the list so long ago.
