《Nomad Dungeon》Chapter 16 - Spider & Dungeon modification.
Advertisement
For the new monster, I choose a spider monster, I need it to just be a spider that is specialized in thread usage.
Regardless if it's for offensive, defensive, or special usages, just being specialized in using threads is enough for me.
And Soon enough I found the monster, the Weaver Spider.
It can use its threads for almost any number of things, traps, sensor, cutting, blocking and hiding, it is capable of all of these and more, the downside is, the thread themselves aren't very strong, enough forces can snap them.
Since I need this spider solely for surveillance, it's fine enough for me at the moment, also I should give it some evolutionary properties since this one may be staying with me for a long time.
Ah, the price for opening a path for it to one day become an Arachne is surprisingly cheap, in that case, I should make a good investment into this monster.
Get this evolutionary path to Arachne.
oh, add in this Jack of all trades potential for the versatile thread usage.
Have its growth be focused on threads-based skills.
Give it Stealth, Concealment, Presence Cloak, Blend, Disguise, Detection and All-Rounded Resistance for survivability.
Ok so the final cost's will be
[Total Cost: 7,594 DP]
[Accept?]
A little over budget but this monster should work wonders.
Accept.
[Remaining: 18,074 DP]
A small dark blue spider appeared.
Despite its small appearance it even seems a little sinister.

Even its status is nothing to laugh at.
I immediately ordered it to build a sort of surveillance network with web outside of this dungeon, seemingly having understood me, it begins spinning a web and moves towards the outside, ah one more thing I ordered it to make a home and base in here, but after I'm done editing this dungeon to my tastes.

I spot Oozer and eye-bat, they are waiting, maybe to execute my new orders?
Well, for now, I have Oozer continue eating rocks and get Eye-bat to keep surveillance not outside but in here.
Never know when I'm unlucky and I don't want to waste more precious DP in its resurrection.
I start work on my dungeon, I begin creating paths throughout the dungeon and creating lower floors, and higher floors.
One for a place to rest and the other for a place to escape, I'll need to keep the other one as hidden as possible.
I can't make too many things, as it would cost too much DP, so I need a lot of effective and cost-efficient traps.
A lot of the lethal traps a cost-heavy but harassment traps are much cheaper, no matter where I look, the one difference in lethality makes a huge difference in cost, I'm both surprised and glad for this,
A huge future awaits me down this path.
huhuhu.
I begin constructing a variety of new non-lethal harassments like endless corridors, hehe, a helium room, extreme heat sauna room, extreme cold freezer room, it's easy to escape but these rooms are big and people need to pass them to proceed.
Gate's of wisdom, where you can assign any question, but needs to have an appropriate answer, and will act like tightly sealed doors which is possible to breathe mana through.
For the traps viscous liquid trap, viscous liquid projectiles, helium trapdoor room, a trick step trap, that alters the direction of anyone who steps onto it without even them knowing.
Next up, puzzle room's let's make them as frustrating as possible.
A lot of idea's pop up into my head, like tricky riddles, questions that only idiots can figure out.
I'm having a lot of fun just making these
Time continues to pass as I'm indulged in this process.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
