Hi guys warlox here, I got some help from VRDraco and I am very thankful for that also please read the chapter before I made some changes and the first boss changed because it was to OP
Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--[Wisp] POV--
Me and my family and a few othe wisps have been wandering for over 2 months now without rest…. All because of that one very hateful day!!!!!
--Flash Back--
I had been a mayor from a little wisp village with only 8 families in the whole village until one day a very loud roar was heard it was more frightening than any sound i've ever heard in whole life (even though I have had a very short and peaceful life) when I and my soldiers (wisps who only know the most basic of spells actually just 1 based on their affinity) went looking we suddenly saw a VERY big ‘wolf’ I have only ever heard of a wolf and that was from my great-great-great-grandpa who only saw one but never in my whole life would I dare to FIGHT IT! So I gave the order to run towards the ape territory and when we came there we already lost 4 of the 8 families and just before entering the territory of the ape I gave the order to run to the left, luckily my plan worked and a [Great Ape] had sniffed the scent of a [Dire Wolf] and thought it was intruding and killed it.
--Flash Back End--
So now we are still on the run waiting for anything where we can have a safe place…
-10 minutes later-
Suddenly there is a outburst of mana! Could it be a new dungeon like in the stories my Great-great-great Grandpa used to tell us about?! That's it manaeuka( a word that my dad always used to say) if we can just be fast enough to let the dungeon accept us we can trade ourselves for protection!
-11 hours later-
We are almost there. Btw if I didn't tell you yet we wisp can only fly a little bit above the ground if we want to go higher we have to concentrate very much and we go VERY slow.
-Magnus POV]-
I was just feeding Pochi some mana when I see 17 spheres of different colours with a trail behind them, those are [Wisps]!
One of the Wisps flew slowly in front of the group and bobs up and down as I feel small magical waves from the wisps. With each wave I could hear a young voice.
“Great dungeon! We have been attacked and only these few [Wisps] survived! We all offer ourselves to your greatness in exchange for protection!”
The [Wisp] Zoro has offered his and his tribe to your dungeon in exchange for protection. Do you accept?

YesNo
I look at the message and grin as I press Yes. Wisps are considered one of the weakest creatures in the world alongside Common slime. They are simply slow and to weak, have no fire power and small life spans but they have one unique feature that makes them sought after. Their unique ability to refine mana in the air into higher quality and release it is extremely unique. To a dungeon this is really useful because this improved mana will reduce mana cost while making it easier to evolve monsters. Not to mention better quality mana will make it easier to feed a certain mana addict.
Another good feature of [Wisp] is that they are the most basic form of spirits. Raised properly they can merge together or with plants to make sprites, Pixies and Fairies. Looking at the 17 floating on my small island I could tell they were really weak and only had mana affinity of 1 at a glance. That said I am happy to see that the four colors represented their elements and coincidently the wisps were of the four most basic elements, Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. This will reduce the hassle of having to make or evolve a wisp into a different element.
After I accepted they all cheered and began to float around. The wind wasn’t strong over my island because the magic of dungeons was to make it easy for the monsters to survive so if the wind in my dungeon was extremely strong there would be nothing on it.
“You can all live as you like but in exchange you have to refine my dungeons mana, it will aid my growth and your chances of surviving.” I say.
The leader bobs up and down excited, “Of course great dungeon!”
“Call me Magnus ” I replied and let him be.
As I dismiss him he bobs up and down followed by the trembling of all the wisps who begin to disperse into their family groups and starts to gather in different spots.
I notice the brown wisps start to use their weak magic and very slowly the ground starts to sing but also gather and slowly a small earth dome is formed after a while. They move inside and in pairs they start to expand and make small chambers.
The green ones that had air affinity did a similar thing but they used their magic to reduce the earth to dust and formed their chambers like that.
The fire ones used small fires to burn the earth to ash and make their den like that and finally the blue wisps spit out water and carefully eroded the ground removing the dirt but also began to form a small pond as they made their den.
After making their den they all left and just float around randomly absorbing and releasing mana in a balanced fashion. They each had different effects that said. The light green air wisps seem to absorb and release my mana much better probably due to the affinity I possess as a sky dungeon and they also seem to be cleaning the air slowly making it fresher. The brown wisps that have earth affinity float low to the ground and absorb and release mana into the ground and is both making it more fertile as well as slowly raising the ground a tad bit clumping dust into rocks. Blue wisps seem to be similar to earth wisps but where they pass it leaves the earth slightly more humid and the red wisps stay float around in a circular motion like rising and falling air as they release warm mana that is ever so slowly warming up the space in my dungeon.

After watching them build their houses I started to do some more experiments the first one I did was was feeding a common weed a LOT of mana all at once and what did you think came out of it…. [Mana Weed].... The monster shop is a SCAM, I managed to unlock a [Mana Weed] for only 30 mana while in the shop… it costs… 1200!!!
Well I guess it's a good thing. and [Mana Weed] does not only increase the density of the mana in the surrounding(even though it's very little compared to a [Wisp]) they also fuel the [Wisps] a bit while the [Wisps] fuel the [Mana Weed] through them cultivating the land.
With [Mana Weed] appearing I start to feed it mana and notice how it grows a bit but besides it they start to sprout new mana weed from the roots below. I switch to feeding the sprouts and they also quickly make sprouts. I do this and use 50 mana to make a small patch of [Mana Weed] before stopping to allow it to do this alone.
Still as I stop I notice the wisps gather around the patch all the while they don’t stop absorbing and releasing mana and coming close to the weeds they start to absorb the mana being given off and return it to the ground and like a vicious cycle the weeds begin to grow and spread around the small rock except for the area near the core and dungeon boss that was blocked off by the earth domes I created.
As more weeds spread the density of the mana kept rising and after a while a pair of wisps rose to the air and they begin to hit each other and back off and after a moment they touch and push together as if trying to merge but suddenly they pull back but a small bit didn’t let go and a very small bit broke off and became a circle and finally formed a tiny new wisp birthing a new wisp.
As I was admiring the newborn wisp they all suddenly became agitated and they moved and entered their den.
I was confused and was about to call out to one when I suddenly heard the screech of a bird of prey.
Because my vision ended at the edge of my island and I couldn’t see beyond that I didn’t notice until it had swooped down and clawed at the dome where my dungeon core was.
“Fuck! A dangerous monster came!” I curse but couldn’t catch a good glimpse of it.
The speed was also nothing to sniff at. The weak thorns couldn’t even react to the attack and attack.
