Floating in the void of its pocket dimension, it felt like a choking pressure on its Mana had vanished, and with it's Mana free it began creating the Floor.

The black and empty void exploded into light as land materialized, fresh water surging over the newly created land, Lyn trees bursting out of the water standing on their five crooked 'legs' which converged into a wide central trunk less than a foot above the water line, the trunk's full length climbing to heights of 80-160 feet tall. The trunk and twisted branches of the Lyn trees were brownish-grey, while their leaves were verdant green, making for a strange sight when looking up at their canopies which blocked eighty-five percent of the light shining down upon the Swamp from the artificial sky. Four small islets only 42 meters in radius rose out of the water at the north, west, south, east. All of them each had a giant Lyn tree extending one kilometer high from them, towering over the Swamp and casting broad shadows across it depending on the time of day or night, further lowering the amount of light making it to the Swamp below. Pistle shrubs rose haphazardly with no pattern out of the water making it hard to navigate the Swamp properly, Pistle shrubs had the same verdant green leaves as the Lyn trees, but their stems were blood-red making them look like something had bled all over them. The murky green water at its deepest reached ten to twelve feet deep and at its shallowest reached only three and a half feet high.

It looked down upon the whole Swamp which was a circle five kilometers in radius which looped to the other side if you walked in only one direction, allowing for any invaders not taking note of landmarks to be lost eternally within the Swamp. The only way to exit the Floor was to find a key at one of the giant Lyn trees and locating the matching door on another giant Lyn tree. This, however, was not as easy as it may seem, the door and key moved randomly every three hours, even if potential intruders stood before the very key only seconds away from obtaining it. However, the door and key will never move to the locations with intruders camping nearby hoping to bypass the floor, and if all locations have invaders nearby, the key will appear within a randomly marked Lyn tree within the Swamp. There also can only be one key in existence at any time no matter how many invaders are present on the Floor.

Navigation by looking up will also have limited usability, for most of the Swamp Lyn tree canopies obstruct the sky making it difficult or outright impossible to spot the giant Lyn trees, and looking up in the Swamp where only small shafts of light can penetrate may be the difference between life and death.

FInishing its consideration of the Swamp, it finally determined a temporary use for the blood-roots when it can eventually make them. It wanted to place them underwater in the Swamp which would make invaders need to watch out for monsters prowling the Swamp and blood-roots concealed within the water. Pleased with the layout of the Floor, it wanted to add Leechlings to get new evolutions and Bats so they can finally evolve, but just like the blood-roots it was planning to conceal beneath the water, it was out of Mana currently, so all these plans would need to wait. Its need for Mana was steadily growing larger, and it hoped to figure something out with the Titan core which could solve this Mana dilemma. Exiting the Floor, it was set upon by black boxes.

Congratulations on completing your first Dungeon Floor! Floor Details Created Floor Theme: Parasitic Swamp. Created Floor Name: Lyn Shade Parasitic Swamp. Floor Size: 5 km in radius. Number of Monsters Present on Floor: 0 Mana Points Used for Creation: 166 Dungeon Size Used for Creation: 1.1 Monsters will now be created every two hours in batches of fifty until reaching a maximum of two thousand five hundred. Monsters Automatically Created: Lesser Swamp Gators (L-C), Giant Red-Spotted Infectious Mosquitos (L-C), Soothing Swamp Striders (L-C), Razor Beak Helions ©, Vigor Bane Toad (L-C), Signus Worms ©.

Looking over the Floor details, it decided to appraise the auto-generated monsters to see if they can even match anything it possesses except for the Black Cave Bears which were pathetically weak.

Lesser Swamp Gators Found in almost every swamp, these Gators are small at only one meter long, but ferocious and even willing to fight losing battles to their deaths. Rating: Lesser Common. Giant Red-Spotted Infectious Mosquitos Seen buzzing in swamps these disease-carrying nightmares are the terror of any sapient entering swamps for all the infections they carry which even with their low rating can be deadly if untreated magically. Rating: Lesser Common. Soothing Swamp Striders These creatures found in every swamp in the world are entirely harmless unless they evolve and are largely ignored by most swamp living creatures. Rating: Lesser Common. Razor Beak Helions Looking like common crows, Razor Beak Helions are often fatally overlooked by sapients traveling in swamps, and where there's one Helion, there are hundreds ready to swarm unassuming prey stripping their bones clean of any flesh. Razor Beak Helions are more active at night when they swarm into the skies like a living mass of darkness descending on any prey which catches their eyes. Rating: Common. Vigor Bane Toads Not deadly alone, Vigor Bane Toads can release poisonous spores when threatened, capable of significantly weakening anything that inhales the spores, usually leading to their deaths. Rating: Lesser Common. Signus Worms Tiny Worms found drifting in swamps; when they get into an open wound, they'll travel along the bloodstream until they reach the heart where they proceed in slowly consuming it causing an agonizingly slow death for their host. Rating: Common.

It thought of most of these as weak, with only the Razor Beak Helions and the Giant Red-Spotted Infectious Mosquitos receiving its recognition, and while the Signus Worm was interesting, it seemed to take an extremely long time for it to kill its host making it ignore them.

With its first Floor now created, it was time to figure something out for its increasingly growing Mana problem. Arriving before the Titan core, it reached out with Mana Shaping attempting to form a connection with the Titan core which would allow it to use the stored Mana within, but it felt something like a wall blocking its advance no matter how hard it tried to force it. After trying for hours to gain access or form a connection with the Titan core, it still hadn't succeeded, making a frustration it hasn't felt since awakening surge into its mind, and then an idea popped into its mind instantly brushing away its vexation and replacing it with excitement at its new plan.

It's frustration earlier was building towards itself for not being able to solve its Mana issue, when in that second it decided why couldn't it change itself? There wasn't anything blocking it; it just hadn't thought of it. For now, instead of fixing the Titan core which continued to be far greater than it, it would simply make itself larger to hold more Mana and went straight into its room determined to increase its Mana capacity whatever the cost!

Focusing Mana Shaping on itself it started expanding its Core causing an explosion of pain to blast through its mind, but it bore on finding the pain lesser compared to what it had felt when the information of what it could make with the Floor themes had flooded its mind. The shining black stone started swelling as it continued shining brighter, the Diagrams and Runic Circles were now revolving faster than its sight could follow, the pain constantly growing, soon overshadowing the pain it had felt from the information overload. Finally, the last thing it saw before its sight plunged into the abyss was it's Core bursting into millions of pieces.
