__________________________________________________________________________________
Marluxia was rather proud of himself. He managed to let his first Minion evolve. It was not just a normal evolution, no he managed to evolve a rather normal animal into a real Monster. A smile adorned his handsome looking face.
That was just one tiny steep
Marluxia sighted loudly
There is still a lot to do until I can officially open my Dungeon to the public
Marluxia sat down in the pond cross-legged. Oscar was laying beside him, faintly you could hear him peacefully hissing. He slowly closed his eyes and concentrated on the dungeon. Marluxias view changed from the first-person-view to the third-person-view. He could see himself sitting in the pond.
First of all I should start and build my second floor
Marluxia could feel that every part of the dungeon is a part of him. He could use his Mana to extend his dungeon. He doesn´t even need to be physical where he wants to extend his dungeon. To a Dungeon Core the Dungeon is not only a security system to protect him it is also the Dungeon Cores cage. So you could also say that a Dungeon core is the prison warden of the cage, in which he the core is locked. The natural instinct of the dungeon core to strengthen his dungeon strengthens his cage. So a Dungeon is a curse hidden as a blessing for a Dungeon Core. Only if a Core is able to free himself from his prison is it possible to ascend to Godhood.
For a Dungeon God the Dungeon has an entire other meaning than for a Dungeon Core. The Core may not be able to leave his Dungeon, but a God is able to do it without any problems. It would theoretical a Dungeon God can just live in a human town if he wanted to. The humans would never be able to see any difference between a human and a Dungeon God. The meaning of a Dungeon to a Dungeon God is that of a paradise. The Dungeon God does not only rule over his Dungeon, no he can control everything about his Dungeon. He could even change and enforce new natural laws on his dungeon. That’s why the Dungeon of a Dungeon Core looks like a plaything if you compare it to the Dungeon of a Dungeon God.

Marluxia used his Mana to start working on his second floor. Slowly he started to work the floor design out. Marluxia created one room after the other, all rooms on the second floor had the same size they were only 10x10x3 meter large. He worked slow, because he wanted to look perfectly like he wants it to. As a light source he used a Fire Mana infused Stone, which he placed into stone lamps. This stone lamps were attached to the ceiling and every one of this stone lamps had snakes engraved on it. Marluxia used almost the same thing on the first floor, only that they were there attached to the walls and not the ceiling. He wanted that only the lower part of the rooms was illuminated. That gave the first floor a darker touch as the people had still to be afraid of the dark places above them. Who knows maybe he will hide some flying Monsters there in the future if the towns people dare to anger him.
As he was only at the beginning stage of his dungeon he didn´t need especially high rooms as he didn´t have large Monsters at all. That’s why the rooms on the second floor were not as high as the rooms on the first floor. As material for the floor and the walls he used white marble. From time to time he used ivy to decorate the walls or let them just hang down from the ceiling.
The rooms on the second floor were arranged in an inner and an outer square. Placed in the middle of this inner square was the boss room. The outer square consisted of twenty rooms. These twenty rooms were connected to each other through a hallway. To have a bit of contrast to all the white marble in his floor design he created the hallways out of black marble. The middle room on each side of the outer square was connected to the inner square. The inner square consisted of eight rooms. All this eight rooms were connected to the boss room. This was a security precaution. Then out of this eight hallways that connect to the boss room seven where hidden behind secret doors. If there should be a group of people how made it to the boss room Marluxia could still send all his Monsters through this secret passages to assist his boss in killing the intruders.

Because Marluxia wanted to prevent the intruders from creating short cuts, he laid a Mana Formation on every wall, the ceiling, the floor and even on the statues and altars on the first floor. The effect of the Formation he laid down was to reinforce materials. He also laid down a few other Formations.
Onto the altars he laid three additional Formations. The first additional Formation he laid had the task to prevent dust to cumulate on the altars. The task of the second Formation was to absorb possible offerings and teleport them to Marluxias own room, which was just behind the Boss Room. The last Formation he laid down was used only for entertainment as the only thing that Formation was to produce black smoke if the Formation gets infused with Mana.
Another Formation he laid down for show was placed in every statues eyes on the first floor. If the Formations get infused with Mana, they will a small flame. Marluxia could even affect which color this flame would have. The last and most important Formation he laid down was placed onto the staircase down to the second floor. It was a rather strong Barrier Formation, which should keep everybody out when it is activated. Marluxia thought it would be a great idea to be able to seal his dungeon off during dungeon construction.
Slowly I should start to summon inhabitants for my dungeon.
