《The New World Rising : How to Build a Dungeon Kingdom》Chapter 16 - Level 1
Advertisement
It was difficult to take everything we got from that trade back to the dungeon. Luckily, the goblins I summoned helped us carry the goats and the goblins in the village provided crates for us to carry the rabbits in exchange of couple more shiny stones. Regardless, it took longer to go back to the dungeon than to come to the village from the dungeon due to the things we had to carry with us. I do not mind though. This is the first time I'm seeing the outside world in long while. It is relaxing.
We were not able to put the hares into the dimensional storage. It was in my hopes that we would at least be able to carry living beings with the dimensional storage to the extent that it was able to fit them. However, according to what Lilith told me, the reason we cannot put any living being into the dimensional storage is because it will automatically kill them. So, by the time you would try to get the hares out in the dungeon, they would effectively be corpses. With this new information, of course, my plans to defend ourselves or attack the enemy in case of a battle using dimensional storage goes down the rabbit hole. I really hoped such a Trojan Horse strategy to be workable.
Another good thing was that the information did not need to be carried and we took the map back in our hands. It did not occupy much space anyway.
The map was not very detailed, but I guess this is what a primitive village of goblins can do. Well, maybe primitive is a bit of an undermining term for them. But to be frank, they are not even in the agricultural era.
Because I did not use up my spirit points today and I only used couple to summon the goblins, I still had many more to make use of. Once we arrived at the dungeon, I quickly made up couple teams to be responsible for the goats and the hares. Husbandry should be an important part of our community.

I initially intended to buy livestock, but to make full use of the animals we got from the trade, I decided to not slaughter them for food any time soon. I wanted both the hares and the goats to breed. Both these animals will be able to provide us with clothing. Which I am convinced that we need a bit more every single day as I keep seeing monsters with inappropriate clothing.
For the food that what we really needed was agriculture. I called the goblin village primitive because they did not have any plantations. I should at least protect my pride.
Now that I have expanded the dungeon to the outer world, I would be able to build plantations outside of the cave. According to the information we received from the chief of the goblin village, we are located in a very isolated place. So, I do not think it would be very dangerous to build some farms outside the cave. Most probably, even if we end up building a plantation for the entirety of the forest outside the cave, it would still be okay. I do not want to take even the smallest off the risk for now though.
I wonder if I will be able to use my spirit points to build a farm. I think of the menu that appears before it's me.
-Spatial Magic Menu- / Spirit Points 486253
Upgrade main dungeon (10)
What about the other upgrades? What happened to the kitchen? The arsenal? I try to think of them only for the same menu to reappear.
-Spatial Magic Menu- / Spirit Points 486253
Upgrade main dungeon (10)
What's the temperature steak that I upgraded the main dungeon to level 10? Is this some sort of a milestone that I need to pass?
It is weird that there is no other option besides upgrading the main dungeon. But it is problematic that I do not see how many spirit points I need for that. Normally, beside the option, I would be able to see how many spirit points I need to spend to upgrade or built something? But now there is nothing.

I tried to think of the summoning menu. And as usual, it works well. Well, I guess this would be the case because I summoned goblins couple hours ago. With the special magic menu, the things I do are building and upgrading the already parts of the dungeon. It might be because I upgraded the main dungeon, or it might also be because I extended the dungeon to the outer world. Is it possible that this is a consequence of my expansion? I do not know.
“Lilith, there is a problem with the menu.”
“What is the problem, master?”
“It seems that I am unable to upgrade the dungeon like I used to. The only thing I can upgrade is the main dungeon from level 10 to probably 11. But even for that I do not know how many spirit points I need.”
“Well, can you build something?” Lilith seems to be flabbergasted. Her intonation suggests that she does not know what is going on with the menu.
“No, there's only one thing I can do and that is to upgrade the main dungeon. I think it is either because I reached level 10, or because I expanded the dungeon to the outer world.”
Lilith is silent. She might be trying to think of an answer, but it seems there is only one thing to be done. Either way, this is the only thing I can do with my spirit points.
“I will upgrade to main dungeon.” I declared. Lilith’s eyes met mine as if she wanted to support my decision. Yet in her eyes I saw a glimpse of uneasiness. Was she worried?
I did not have much time to think about it, as I suddenly felt a wave exhaustion washing away my body. I felt like my body could collapse any given second. My skin was irritated by the clothing covering it. This was a sensation I have never felt before. My head was empty. My thoughts faded away. No. It was more so that they vanished.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Shadow Emperor
In a world of magic where those who can wield the elements reign supreme our hero Savani finds himself reborn with a strange Assistance chip. Watch as he climbs higher and higher in a world far different than the one he knew and develop strength enough to stand at the top. ** Warning this story has a very slow boil as the MC begins to grow in power from scratch. Starts picking up around chapter 25. As story progresses themes of slavery, human experimentation, and some sexual content will be added. ** This is a story inspired by novels like Warlock of a Magus World and Age of Adept. I will be taking some ideas from each but trying to make my own story using the world ideas i love from these novels. I am also a first time writer mainly doing this while trapped inside due to the events going on in the world. So feedback is appreciated.
