《The Dungeon System》Chapter 12 - The Dungeon Crusade
Advertisement
Core Reboot initialized ….
The Dungeon slowly woke, senses turning on one by one. It could feel the entirety of its dungeon, feeling its damage and wounds. Then it could hear the thoughts of its minions, and the whistle of wind through its open gateway. Then the Dungeon paused, “Open Gateway?” and snapped its eyes open and pushed itself up to a sitting position. The Dungeon looked around the empty entry hall of its dungeon, noting the open doors letting in drifts of snow and blasts of air that sent goosebumps over its skin.
“Wait what happened??”
The Dungeon examined itself, no longer a fragile crystal in the center of the dungeon but instead having a body similar but different to the avatar it had created earlier. This new body was different from the old, weaker yes, but having more room to grow and improve if it survived.
“How long was I asleep?”
Approximately 9 months and two days
The Dungeon jumped, startled at the sudden voice in its head.
“Who’s there?? Where are you?!”
Hahahahahaha, oh you mortals are just hilarious when I talk to them this way. As to your questions, I will answer one of them for you, your choice
The Dungeon frowned and thought for a moment, “Who are you?”
Me, I'm your boss now, before you just dealt with a computer program, now I control it.
“Control what? Computer program? You’re supposedly my boss now?”
Instead of asking questions, how about reading your screens, I’m sure they will be very enlightening.
With that the Dungeons view was blocked by a layer of screens each jogging with another for prominice.

The Dungeon just laid down and stopped moving, to stunned to do anything and ignoring everything around it while it tried to compute all that had happened.
GET UP!!!
The Dungeon jumped up, startled by the voice in its head that it had forgotten in the short span of time it read the windows.
YOU ARE MORTAL NOW! AND YOU ARE LYING NAKED IN THE SNOW! GO GET SOME CLOTHES ON FOR MY SAKE!
The Dungeon examined itself, the voice reminding it that it was indeed naked and saw that it was turning blue on its extremities from the cold.
“But I don’t feel the cold, why should I cover my glory from the eyes of prey?”

The Dungeon jerked as it suddenly felt the cold and the pain and all the other feelings that it couldn’t feel before. Screaming in pain it ran deeper inside the Dungeon, somehow knowing that it would be warm inside and ran past the Kobolds guarding the room who jerked in surprise but then bowed as they recognized the presence, if not the form of the Dungeons Core.
The Dungeon ran to a nearby room finding a storeroom heated and lit by a cheery brazier in the corner and began rummaging through the various barrels and boxes that contained goods.
Soon the Dungeon felt warmer as it drew thick leather pants and a large cotton tunic over its pale skin. Finally finishing dressing it stepped out, wearing a functional jacket over its white cotton tunic and study boots over its leather pants. Then the Dungeon noticed that it had an audience for its change, the rooms garrison of worker Kobolds gaping at it until they noticed it looking at them and swiftly bowing towards the Dungeon.
One of them began speaking, a lithe looking female kobold who seemed to be in charge of the group. “My Lord, we are sssorry for dissturbing your change. We are honored for your patronage of our humble ssstorage room. May thisss lowly one asssk a quessstion of my lord? How hasss he come by the true form of one of thossse mortal humansss?”
The Dungeon responded to the Kobolds questions by simply ignoring it. Then it told the Kobold who lead the rest to follow as he left the Storage Room and went deeper into his dungeon. After getting tired of walking through its own hallways the Dungeon used some of its Mana and made a private passageway between floors and exited the passages at its fortress. Their it made a large castle behind the walls and decorated the throne room with pictures of its victories and defeats, the first invasion of the Humans while the Dungeon was away, the pack of wolves it killed in the fields, and the most recent invasions of the Mulocs and Humans. These pictures would grow and expand as the Dungeon grew, and would serve as a history of the world for future scholars, if any remained when the Dungeon Crusade had finished.
