The former leader gave up on that spot last times sins he lost a rough every time they wend into the Dungeon he did not find himself worthy anymore and sins the others never wanted to be the leader it came to the Sleepy Fool Jenkins to be the one.
Anyway there doomed so its fine lol.
Jenkins is a paladin in game, so i think they will live. It is just how ridiculous it gets to live.

So a new idea is something that would give +mana regen in exchange for some status effect like -dulled hearing / Delayed reaction times...that way people will go deeper...well players that is as the npcs seem much less reckless than players.

There is a plot twist for this but as of the story right now, it is all about poking fun at each other. I do not really have a target audience, i am just having fun cooking up the story as it goes. From the looks of it, it really does seem like it targets young teen males. I guess i will tone down the treatment Alex gets but is it all for the Plot twist
*anyone that is reading this, how do i make this story target teen Females?*

Oh, and LEEEEEROOOY!!!!
*Goal achieved* where are the errors? I do not really notice them and it would be good if i get some grammar nazis to help XD
Your Chomper has Hybridize with Flower of Fragrance due to . You now have a Chomper Variant- Naphthenes.
NameNaphthenesTypePlantHP600MP200Attack100Defence300Abilities - Swallows a prey whole, digesting it after after some time. (50-250 Hp/sec)
- whips out a vine striking its prey. if it successfully wraps around it's prey, it will reel it's prey and and it.
- a sweet aroma permeates the air, luring prey closer in search of its origin.
Sweet, that ought to fill the gap for the 2nd floor. By pulling any of its prey in, they will be in the range of the Singing Tree and once they are Captured by the Singing Tree i will get new free thralls. Thralls are useful. They help protect my plants. Plant are weak. They need their guardians.

Planting one, i saw how it looks. A translucent green jug with some form of liquid in it that buries itself partially into the ground. A vine rest above the opening as if it were fishing and every once in awhile it would dip into the opening. After the vine comes out, a Jewel like object would be seen at the tip of it only to slowly dissipate into the air releasing what i believe to be a sweet aroma. It was captivating to watch the aurora like effect that it generates. Sometimes the Jewel does not fully dissipate and would fall back into the jug. As i looked in deeper, i realized that there are multiple of these Jewels inside. I wonder, do they have any other uses. However, that is for me to wonder as it is my mob and there is nothing i do about harvesting it. Maybe it is some special quest item or maybe it needs some special skill to harvest it but who knows, it does not show up in the Loot Drop List of Naphthenes.
Looking at my mana pool, i realized that i have amasses over 20,000 mana already. All that mana absorbed is already my regeneration limit of 300. Naphthene surprisingly took 50 mana to be given a spawn point. If 1 spawn at monster tier 2 already cost me 50 mana, i can’t imagine the amount i would need at tier 5 and above.
Better amass more mana. Later tier mobs require more mana to summon spawn point.
*ring- ring*
“Yes Alex?”
“Did you put Hemlock at the floor 1 of your Dungeon?”
“I did. Why?”
“Get rid of it. Do not spawn it there anymore. Do not let it even spawn at the 2nd floor or third floor either. It is coming out to early in the game. Not if you want to let rank A and B NPC start storming through your dungeon.”
“Wait what? Why would they start storming into my Dungeon over it. I did nothing wrong.”
“You are the only plant dungeon that i know of so i dropped the warning to you. Apparently i am right that it is you who spawned it. Hemlock can pass through armor. I am sure you know that. It works on anything. Imagine applying to dragons and those Epic bosses. They work on them too.”
“I knew is too good to be true. Looks like i may be in some trouble. It gives me such good stuff but if i can’t protect it it is useless to have it.”
“Yea, it is just like giving a poor man a Pot of gold. Before he get to spend much of it he gets killed for it.”
“But how did you know about it? I just had it up at my Dungeon.”
“Mercenaries Guild Request board. It post item request and extermination request for Players to do. It is usually request for items and stuff from the Dungeons nearby. I am 2 towns away from Ragna but i saw the request. It is a rank A request. Meaning that Rank A NPC and Rank B NPC would appear for that request. Since the item is a plant, it is high chance that it your Dungeon. Your Dungeon is too weak to handle a rank E even.”

“It can’t be that bad right?”
“It can be. Stopping it from being spawned would take that request down automatically. And just to let you know, each stalk of hemlock is about 10 diamond. 1 diamond is 100,000 gold.”
“Wait what?” i was totally and utterly stupefied. My Dungeon is still in the state of dropping 1-50 silvers and i just gained an item that is 1,000,000,000 silvers. The worse part is that i am just dropping them. It does not belong to me. It is like having the Holy Grail that pours out water that grants eternal life but you the water is not yours to drink.
“Yes. that is the problem. It is game breaking. If i can guess, i think that the developers did not expect anyone to choose Plant as their First Dungeon type. Dungeons in the later half may have a chance to unlock a 2nd type and may choose Plants instead. They must have scaled it so that there are OP items all over the skill and ability trees. But that is just me speculating, i got no solid proof. ”
“... That may be true, but at least i can make it go POOF.”
With that i removed the Hemlock from my entire Dungeon. However, that did not stop the Dungeon Crawlers from stalking my Dungeon for it. Suddenly no one continued with their non stop fire attacks and were slowly clearing my 1st Floor carefully. It seem that this jackpot lure must have sent them over the top instead. It was funny listening to their conversation about where is the hemlock.
It took them about 2 hours before someone grumbled about the slow and careful hunting of hemlock. “ This is taking forever, what if the plant is in the boss area only instead of being on the first floor. The Dungeon Player might have heard about the repercussion of having it at the first floor. How i wish i can kill some plant and it will drop Hemlock.”
Everyone around him turned towards him at his stupid and yet possibly genius complaint. There is actually such a plant in the Dungeon, and its name is Common Weed. it was something that everyone overlooked as they forgot all about the Mana Potions and focused on the jackpot.
It is just the fallacy of Herd mentality. If everyone thinks of going one way they slowly end up getting blinded to everything else. By believing that the 1billion silver is out there somewhere on this Floor everyone will be keenly seeking that one plant. It must be hiding somewhere, someone must have killed the plant accidentally with firewall or fireball, the respawn timer is not up yet. It must be this, it must be that. Everyone kept thinking like that and forgot about everything else.
In no time, there was a renewed fervor of firewalls flying all over the place. Firewall ended up being the skill of choice as it covered the most area in 1 spell for a low level spell. It took them about half an hour before they reached the 2nd room on the 2nd floor.
Designated as room 8, it now contains, Common Weed, Healing Herbs, Sleep Herbs, Paralysis Herbs, Flower Of Fragrance, Hypnotic Herbs, Eternal Sleep, Pollen Dash, Carpet Thorns, Paralyzing Vine, Naphthenes, Singing Tree, Sapper and Sapling
The structure is actually very sturdy. It can’t really kill but you just wish that death would come faster.
The formation i have is annoy for 1 very big reason. Naphthene is able to lash and capture, Sapling can reach out and bind the target to the spot, Paralyzing Vine slows the target on touch, Sapper slows down the movement using ranged attack, Singing Tree for everything, these combined seems enough to capture me some Players.
Just imagine that you entered the room and Naphthene reaches out to pull you in. You manage to escape it only to be bound by Sapling. The Paralyzing Vine creeps up on you to slow you down while you are pelleted by Sapper that slows you down even more. After some time Naphthene reaches out again and pulls you in. all this time you are under the influence of the Singing tree and if you are unlucky you get hit by the Bewitcher’s ability and turns you into a thrall minion.
Also there is the Carpet Thorns that Plainly ANNOYS. I think i have seen at least 50 different players tripping already. Thankfully for them there is no such thing as dirt in the mouth in this game, or i will be hearing all those swearing much more frequently. One other humor i gained from all those tripping, i never knew there were so many ways to fall.
Not to mention i have Flower of Fragrance, Hypnotic Herb and Eternal Sleep for NPC lure. The abilities only affect the NPC mainly. No player is stupid enough to stay in the affected area for too long. Players well who get caught by its effect have a tolerance meter which tells them their time left before they are forced respawned. Players can leave the affected area before they hit their max tolerance will survive. The tolerance meter improves with each dispel and Clerics becomes a must to stay alive. Like how Alex almost made it to the Boss room that time, his tolerance meter maxed out. It granted him a little illusion before he was granted a respawn.
No one actually saw the Boss until now which was rather sad. Come on Players! You can do it!
Thought of any interesting Plant combination that i can use?

The Devil's Bride
"I am not sleepy so why don't we tell each other a story?" Her voice was low and raspy and fuck, I'd been lying if I say I wasn't turned the fuck on. "Like what?" I ask swallowing my pride and probably my sense of direction. Her skin was on top of mine, in contact, burning. "I don't know." She says taking her time to adjust herself on my lap. I had to grip the chair for support feeling all my breath vanish from my lungs. "Maybe a short bio about yourself." She advocates placing one of her hands on my chest. I feel the contact through my shirt, my eyes trained on every movement of hers. The worst of it all was that she is unaware of what she was doing to me. "Uh-" I feel my words shorten. On impulse, I grab her by her waist for support instead. Leaning back painfully on the single chair. "You're so cute when you're confused!" She giggles going ahead to move slightly on my lap. I blow out a groan feeling my erection harden.
