《Rise of a Rogue Dungeon》Core Chapter 9: The Expansion of a Dungeon Pt.1
Advertisement
Entering the Titan core's cave, its thoughts were interrupted as it noticed a bright red glow coming from the entrance to its Core room making it intrigued as to what was causing such a thing, entering it saw its Core which had undergone a considerable change since the last time it came here. Instead of its old black stone which was dull, lightless, and simply just black with a few diagrams and runes covering its surface. It was now shining brightly like the sky it had seen earlier; its black stone was wrapped in a thin bubble of blood which it assumed belonged to the Beast-kin the Abomination had drained. The most substantial change, however, were the Diagrams and Runic circles which had turned from their previous grey color to shinning an ominous black light and those Diagrams and Runic circles now revolved around the bubble of blood covering its surface, instead of its old inertness. The red light it had seen outside was the light from its Core shinning through the blood bubbled around it, and it assumed these changes had occurred due to leveling up and unlocking the Floor Creation ability which denoted a change in its capabilities as it could now expand to be far more extensive than before.
Finishing the inspection of its Core, it was now extremely excited to create a floor increasing its safety so it could focus on repairing the Titan core and using the Floor creation it caused a black box to appear before it, awaiting its answer which would open new possibilities for it.
Floor Creation Themes will now be unlocked! Yes/No?

Theme Virtuoso!
Unlock Condition(s): Acquire five themes or more, and all require to be unlocked for the first time in the world.
Effect(s): Makes it easier to combine themes and themes grant increased bonuses to their respective benefits.
The black boxes came with a bombardment of information into the Core's mind as objects, materials, and various other things too numerous to fit in black boxes engulfed the Core's mind painfully causing it to lose control of its sight and bounce back into its Core, further increasing its pain. Hours later as the pain faded, it swore to open the Floor Creation ability any time it earns an Achievement to avoid something like this ever happening again. But it was mostly satisfied with all the things it acquired only being disappointed it didn't gain more monsters which would fit these floors, but that could be resolved in the future when it evolves more of its monsters.
Using Mana Sight once again it moved back to the Titan core pondering which theme to use, or whether it should attempt at merging them already considering it earned an achievement which would help with that; however, it settled on creating one of the themes it has now and to leave combining for later.
It moved towards the exit cave and placed the floor's entrance at the start of the cave, burying the arch it created using a surprisingly small amount of Mana on, which would be the entrance to its first floor. Moving back it focused as the noise of something ripping reverberated around the cave, this noise was signifying the creation of a pocket dimension which seems like something Dungeon cores can do easily, or maybe the world was helping it. Whatever the case it was relatively easy for it to create the dimension and moved into it ready to make its first floor, which it selected the Parasitic Swamp for its first floor.

A Will Eternal
A Will Eternal is the fourth major xianxia novel by the renowned Er Gen. It tells the tale of Bai Xiaochun, an endearing but exasperating young man who is driven primarily by his fear of death and desire to live forever, but who deeply values friendship and family. The story takes place in the same Universe as Er Gen's other novels, but is a separate story and can be read alone. That said, it does have connections to the other novels, especially I Shall Seal the Heavens. Those connections only pertain to a handful of chapters, so you can read the novel as a whole and enjoy it without first reading ISSTH. However, the best reading experience would begin with the later portions of ISSTH. This novel is much more comedic and light-hearted than Er Gen's previous works, although it has its fair share of action and drama. For a more detailed introduction, check out this video by the translator himself!
