《The Paradoxical Dungeon》Chapter 13: Finishing The First Floor
Advertisement
Waking up, I feel something that I haven't felt in a long time, pain. It was intense, yet I was unable to tell where it was coming from. I was like my whole body was hurting at the same time. Trying to ignore this pain, I start to look at my core. And doing so, I noticed blue boxes all over my vision.

Willing these boxes to disappear, I start to focus on my Core. And as I see it, my fears are confirmed. It is covered in cracks and seems to be barely holding together. Looking closer I even notice that there seems to be Mana leaking out of it and into the room around me. Just enough for me to feel it, but definitely not a good sign on the state of my Core. If all this wasn't enough, I had no idea on how to fix my core. And it was with this state of mind, that I started to try and fix my Core.
The first thing I did was try and send Mana to the cracks in my Core, but all this did was make my Core lose mana even faster. The next thing that I tried was to condense Mana at the cracks. It didn't work, but I did get the Mana Sheild skill. After this, I tried many other things, like using core modification to fix the cracks or using dungeon building on myself. But nothing I did showed any signs of working. I was about to give up when I got an idea and took a look at my skills. Finding the one I was looking for, I start to read the description.

Knowing that I need to get this skill, I use the Novice version. As I do, I feel my vision starting to fade as the pain starts to fade away and with it a bunch of things that I haven't felt in a long time start to come back to me. The first thing that I feel is the cold cave ground below me, followed by the smell of damp cave air. And it is as I'm taking this in that I feel something else, the need to breathe and it is with a sharp breath that I feel air enter my lungs for the first time in weeks. And this is how I spend the next couple of minutes, trying to get used to having a body again. And as I'm getting used to it again, I start to think of was to improve my dungeon. And the first thing that I decide to do is create a boss for the first floor.
And with this plan in mind, I decide to move my vision to the edge of my Core room, but nothing happened. Realizing why I start to walk over to where I wanted to be and start creating the floor boss. I use the same beetle design as the rest of the enemy on this floor but make this one much deferent. The first of which is that it is not small like the others. Instead, it is around a half the size of the room and a quarter of the height. It's also much slower and tougher than the rest of the beetles in the dungeon. I don't give it a name so that doesn't cost me Mana to respawn it but I do let it control all the other beetles on the floor, making them act as it's minions.

With the boss now done, I respawn Blaze, Aqua, Gust, and Bolt and start to work on their evolutions. Making them all tougher and letting them use their Mana to speed up their regeneration and strengthing their body further. I also give them further control over the respective elements. As I'm doing this I start to plan their next evolutions but keep getting the strange feeling that they are as strong as they are able to grow. And it is because of this that I give up on upgrading them and start to check out the queens.
And it is after a long walk that I see them and notice something strange, they have evolved on their own. Most likely having gotten Life energy from their offspring then evolving when I was recovering. They seem to be the same, except for the fact that they now create warrior beetles instead of worker beetles, skipping a whole step of evolution for the lesser beetles. Letting this floor recover even quicker from the last attack and giving me more protection from people who try to slowly take out all the monsters on a floor.
With everything looking good, I walk back to my Core room and start to make a new floor. When it is finished I notice that my Mana loss slowed down a bit. Next, I make a room on this floor and staircase leading from the Core room down to the new room. I then make the Core move into this new room with me and start to climb up the new set of stairs. As I enter what was once the Core room and will soon be the boss room, I start to summon the Beetle boss that I made. I watch as the familiar yet strange glow appears before me as the boss is summoned. When it is done, I start to walk back down the stairs planning the next floor.
