Chapter 2
So, I’m now able to produce treasures, without using materials? I have to investigate on that matter later on…
At least I have to know if I am allowed to stay here
“So, dear guard, might there be any problems with me being at the royal tomb?”
The guard thinks a bit about that, and says ”the city is controlled by an governor from the empire, other possible threats are the adventurer from the guild and the thieves and thugs from the slums, who might want to raid your dungeon and get your treasures.”
Shit, looks like I have to build up some defensive mechanism or I will be destroyed when they discover me…
“might there be any allies who will help me in this town ?” cause I really need them, at least at the beginning…
“if you work for an noble than you get the patronage of him an his family, or you try and get the adventures or thieves on your side” the guard says with a worried look on his face.
“for which organization are you working dear guard?” It’s best if I don’t lose his protection, because he looks rather strong and seems to know a lot about this kind of political power play.
“I am from no family, you might count me to the servants of the family of the previously rulers but their family is like I said destroyed.” he says with sad look in his eyes.
“I see, well at first I have to get stronger or else I won’t be able to get into any kind of group.” So first task will be expanding my territory, I at least want to know how it looks on the outside of this little room.
[expand territory]
Do you want to expand your territory ?
Yes No
Obviously I choose yes and concentrate 10 of my remaining 13 mana into it, well I just think use 10 mana to expand territory, because I don’t know how to regulate it, might as well just try…
And with that suddenly my field perception nearly doubles, the room was about seven meter long and four meter width, so about 28 m², now I have about 50m² and can see from the outside of my little room, which seem to be in the back of the churchyard in form of an little chapel.

The chapel is isolated from the rest of the churchyard by some small damaged walls that are built around it. Ican see that there is no one here, who cares about the dead, because thorns and bushes grow everywhere on the ground. When I look further outside of my dungeon territory, I can see a little town, which is build around a castle that seems to be one of the only buildings which is cared for, the others are some manors near the castle, which seem to be from the noble families…
All in all the city looks rather dirty, not like an “capital to be” should look like.
In my Dungeon territory I see a dead rabbit, that probably died because of an disease, why do I know that? well it looks rather bad with half its fur black and peeling off …
I have to put it somewhere, not that something infects itself with this disease, so I concentrate on it and
Do you want to absorb ‘Dead Rabbit’ ?
Yes No
I really seem to be able to absorb dead things, so I think [Yes] and the rabbit begins to glow and starts to disappear. What do I even get for absorbing things ?
You have gained 7 mana through absorbing a deceased
Holy shit, that’s awesome, that’s the cost of the sword and the windows together.
I look more around and see a that the chapel isn’t the newest anymore, so might try and begin repairing it.
Do you want to repair the walls of the chapel of the Royal family ?
Yes No
Thinking [Yes] I see that the chapels walls are getting made anew, and now the walls look like they were just built a second ago, which in a certain sense would be true.
With a quick check I see that the complete repair did cost a total 8 mana, so I have only two mana left.
I wanna have more mana so I start looking around the area and find some dead plants and bushes, but they totally only give me 4 mana, so I have now 6 mana. maybe the soldier can bring me some dead bodies and I’m able to build some new things. I have to do something or else it would be boring, right?

“Dear Soldier, is it possible for you to bring me a few dead bodies?” Hopefully he doesn't say just “no”.
“What do you need the bodies for, Dungeon Core?” the soldier ask me while inspecting the newly repaired walls of the chapel with glittering eyes.
“I want to bring the city back to it’s old might and glory, for this I need more ressources” I answer him with absolutely no ulterior motives like for example revive a dead sorceress, or rule this city.
Life comes in the soldier's eyes and he says with new found power “of course sir, I bring you back as many dead bodies as I can, because of an illness there are enough at the moment.”
Maybe the rabbit had this illness? yeah, probably…
“that would be great dear soldier, if I can help with some other things please tell me” If I have the possibility to expand his need of me, then maybe he will become my loyal follower…
----
After about 2 hours the guard came back with a group of 6 man, pulling an cart with dead bodies on it, and began to unload them at the side of my chapell.
After the other man left with the affirmation that they can bring more bodies here, the soldier began to speak “Dear Dungeon Core, please take these bodies and restore our lands, the people who were with me have lost their families and friends to this illness, please help us” he began to kneel in front of my Dungeon Core.
“fear not, I plan to restore these lands, you only have to swear loyalty to me, then I will help you and your people.”
“thank you my lord, I swear to follow you till my death” the knight said while kneeling like an western knight would do in front of his king.
“I will take you up on that later on”
I have my first knight now, but his armor is really poorly made…
What kind of armor do you want to make ?
light leather armor
chain mail armor
heavy iron armor
[chain mail armor] I think, after which it drops on the ground in front of my newly acquired knight, who is totally speechless.
“wear this armor, I don’t want you to die because of an arrow or sneak attack” I told him. Who knows how dangerous it is in this city.
“thank you my lord, I will wear it and I will do as you say” the guard says while equipping the new armor.
So let’s absorb the dead bodys...
