《The Life of a Dungeon》Chapter 38
Advertisement
When Teaghan pulled up the blue screens from the pile of materials that Orius gave her, a wall of blue screens popped up. She quickly got overwhelmed and pushed the blue screens back into her mind and dismissed them so that she could read and go through them later.
With the potential gold mine of materials from Orius, Teaghan decided that she wanted to start on her sixth floor before she looked at the pile’s blue screens.
When Teaghan went to start her sixth floor, three blue screens popped up.
Congratulations! You have unlocked the “Safe Area” option.
The safe area option is an area that dungeons can create that are used as rest zones for adventurers. These areas are used to allow adventurers to rest without the worry of getting attacked by creatures and objects within the dungeon.
Choose your second biome type for floors six to ten.
Be aware that you will be restricted by this choice until you create your eleventh floor.
Biome Types
Basic Lake
Basic lake environment, but due to the dungeon core having a mana leyline, this biome gains the effects of mana concentration on the environment (dungeon core creations can circumvent this). Comes with a set of basic lake and water fauna and flora included. Monster species included with the biome. Due to one of the dungeons titles, an extinct species related to this biome will be included with the biome.
Basic Desert
Basic desert environment, but due to the dungeon core having a mana leyline, this biome gains the effects of mana concentration on the environment (dungeon core creations can circumvent this). Comes with a set of basic desert and heat-related fauna and flora included. Monster species included with the biome. Due to one of the dungeons titles, an extinct species related to this biome will be included with the biome.

Basic Tundra
Basic tundra environment, but due to the dungeon core having a mana leyline, this biome gains the effects of mana concentration on the environment (dungeon core creations can circumvent this). Comes with a set of basic tundra and arctic fauna and flora included. Monster species included with the biome. Due to one of the dungeons titles, an extinct species related to this biome will be included with the biome.
Basic Taiga
Basic taiga (snow forest) environment, but due to the dungeon core having a mana leyline, this biome gains the effects of mana concentration on the environment (dungeon core creations can circumvent this). Comes with a set of basic taiga and cold-related fauna and flora included. Monster species included with the biome. Due to one of the dungeons titles, an extinct species related to this biome will be included with the biome.
Teaghan read through the blue screens, and the safe room option caught her attention, but she put that at the back of her mind and focused on the biomes. Teaghan carefully read through the types of biome options that she had. She instantly dismissed the desert and tundra because they are more barren. With what happened with Orius, Teaghan wanted something that had more natural barriers. With that idea, it left Teaghan with the basic lake and basic taiga biomes.
She read through both descriptions and carefully, and they were mostly the same. The taiga biome had cold-related fauna and flora, while the lake biome had water-related fauna and flora. After an hour of going through pro’s and con’s, Teaghan decided that she would choose the basic taiga environment.
You have chosen the Basic Taiga Biome.
The following flora and fauna are now available:
Scotch Pine

Teaghan read through all of her new creatures, plants, and fossils, and she was quite pleased with how her choice turned out. She couldn’t wait until she started creating her sixth floor.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
