"Oooo, nice, the summoned zombie had leveled up even though they didn't manage kill anything."
After seeing the summon zombie had leveled up, he decided to knock out to increase the proficiency of his max mana again, thus he summoned another zombie. However, before he totally knocked out, he heard a 'ding' sound.
~~~A few hours later~~~
As he slowly awaken, chibi came over and reported to him, "Mr ghost, the bandits have all left the dungeon."
"I see, by the way, chibi did anything else happened while I was knocked out?" the ghost asked.
"Not really, Kuro just grew a small horn." as she picks up kuro to show it to the ghost.
The ghost immediately reach out to touch the horn, the yawning kuro suddenly started flailing around when it's horn was being touch, surprised by the sudden flailing, chibi couldn't hold onto kuro, she fell down on her butt as kuro jumped away and hide.
The fallen chibi had watery eyes, almost on the verge of crying.
The ghost patted her back while saying, "Pain pain fly away."
After hearing his words, chibi seems to cheer up a little. Seeing that she was alright, he immediately check kuro's status and his own. But it seems like kuro didn't have any change in his level or stats. However, to his surprise, his Max mp skill had level up.

"Cheers! However, the feeling of get knocked out every time is arghh!" after celebrating he decide to check on the skeletons who had been in the training grounds all this while except for the time they came to shift the monster food.
As he walk into the training ground, he could see that 2 of the skeletons were still striking the training dummies with the training sword, while the other two were walking towards the archery board to collect the arrows back.
He opened the dungeon menu to check the skeletons stats.

"Hmm, I wonder if I can equipped my skeletons with my bone spears."
Thinking about it, the ghost cast his bone spear skill, a white long spear appeared from the ground. The shaft of the spear looks like it was made from a few leg bones that were fused together into one long shaft, the head of the spear that is stab into the ground looks like a shark teeth from some huge monster.
______________
Item : : Atk +10, summoned item, durability 5/5
"O.o, wow, this bone spear have a higher atk power compared to the iron sword, though it's durability is weaker, but who cares it will be lost after the skeletons get destroyed anyways, I'll just equipped it on my skeletons from now on."
After considering his options, he ordered the skeletons to train with the training spears.
Once that's done, he went back to the main area and looked in the dungeon layout menu, since the bandits were not around he wanted to take this opportunity to expand the 2nd level of the dungeon, increasing the distance from the stairs to the mausoleum that currently houses the dummy core. His reasoning behind it, is so that the heavy skeleton cavalry can maximize it's charge range.
He created a draft that increase the entire front part of the graveyard by 10m x 20m. He added new mausoleums into the extended area, next he added a few dead trees around, then he extended the cobblestone road and making it branch out to the other mausoleums.

Happy with the layout, he clicked on update dungeon layout.
Seeing the price he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he selected yes.
"Phew, for a second there I thought I would be totally broke. Oh yeah, that reminds me of the other gacha coupon I haven't use when the training ground unlock." seeing that reward pop up the ghost heave a sigh of relief, he then looks towards chibi, noticing that she wasn't do anything he called out to her, "Chibi, there are 2 gacha coupon for you to use."
Hearing what the ghost said, chibi eyes glitter as she hops towards the altar. A blue light appeared followed by a yellow light.
___________
Item : (Rare) ~ Blue in color : Increase all water type spell efficiency by 20%, additional effect depends on what it is use for.
(Basic descriptions : Drops from a Rank F monster, it's said to contain the magic essence of the monster. Can be use to craft item, or socket as an alternative for mana gems.)
___________
Decoration
(Unique) - Creates a 20m x 50m training course, able to adjust difficulty. Chance to learn evasion, speed increase type skills. Proficiency training increase by 20% when using training course.
After checking the items, chibi gotten from the gacha, since the ghost couldn't do anything with the monster core he left it near the pile of monster food and then he headed into the training grounds to see what the training course looks like.
Once he walked into the training ground he headed towards the empty space on the right side and place the training course into the training ground layout and updated it immediately.
After a few minutes, 2 obstacle courses as if being 3D printed appeared in front of him. One is filled with menacing traps, with the other seems like a few wooden poles and raise platforms of wooden planks.
On the start point near the doorway, a console type block appeared, there are a few sliders on the console with numbers on it, a few tabs which includes the type of settings which allows the changing of the course. There is the swaying bridge course, swinging ropes course, cliff climbing course, etc.
Before the ghost could do anything else, Kuro was prancing around on the start platform of the wooden pole course.
"When did you came here?" the ghost looks towards Kuro.
Immediately after the 'GO' green lights came on, Kuro jumped onto one of the pole and like a fairy, it breeze through the entire course. After it finish the course, Kuro dash back to the start, however Kuro didn't jumped onto the platform, but looks at the ghost with it's googly kitty eyes. Looking over at Kuro, the ghost realized that Kuro wanted him to increase the difficulty settings, since Kuro had completed the run so fast.
The ghost changed the trapped like course to a cliff like course and increase the difficulty of the wooden pole course by 2 levels. After the settings have been changed, Kuro 'meow' at the ghost and immediately jumped onto the start platform.
Feeling as if someone was staring at him, the ghost turned over to look, only to see that chibi is peeking her head through the doorway with her fingers gripping the doorway while looking over.
A laugh almost came out, the ghost then looked at her and ask, "Is there a problem?"
Chibi nodded her head and wave her hands to the ghost to come over.
The ghost flew to her asking, "What's wrong?"
"The bandits have came back."chibi was quivering replied, "lots of blood everywhere."
Hearing what she said, the ghost flew over to the dungeon live broadcast screen.
~~~~~~
As the bandits begin pouring in, some had blood dripping from their lost limb, some of them had arrows pierce in their body while some had cuts through their leather armor as blood could be seen smearing through.
"Arghh, those reinforcement were relentless."Carver said out in spite.
"Yeah!"after replying carver, Johnny looks over at Bredan as asked,"Bredan, how many men did we lost and how many is injured? Oh and did we manage to grabbed that kid as a hostage?"
Bredan begin counting the bandits, some of the bandits had bandages while a few lost a limb and was being supported by their other colleagues. The ones that weren't injured carried a crate each, while the one of them was fireman carrying a kid on his shoulder.
"Boss, we lost 2 men in total, there are 7 with serious injuries, 3 of them lost a limb, the rest are minor injuries. Tank is currently carrying the hostage." Bredan reported to Johnny.
"Okay, get Tank to locked him up in one of the mausoleum in basement level."Johnny looked at Bredan and ordered him. "Oh and once you are done telling him, go check what are loots in the crates that we had managed to steal."
"Yes boss."Bredan replied to Johnny.
After a while of checking, Bredan came back to Johnny and report, "Boss, we gotten 2 crates of potions, 3 crates of herbs, 1 crate of booze and 1 crate of food."
"Alright get the boys to store those and get them to rest." Johnny replied, "After that, you go take a rest as well, Me and Carver will do the guarding for the time being."
"Okay boss."
