《New Earth- The Dungeon of Madness》Chapter 62: New monsters
Advertisement
Having already discussed with Dreidus before, Five already knew what monsters to unlock. He quickly browsed through to the first one: Zombies.
Zombies were undead monsters who just like skeletons, had varying levels. It's level also ranged from 14 to 20. Zombies were stronger than skeletons. They had their flesh to absorb more damage, resulting in higher HP and Strength. Their only downside was their speed.
Five quickly unlocked them for 5000 DP and spawned zombies all over the third floor at the cost of 300 per zombie. They were thrice as expensive as skeletons since they could not use weapons, but zombies had another thing going for them. They had variants; it was possible to evolve them into stronger zombies.
He quickly spent another 5000 DP, evolving 5 of the zombies in level 20 Plagued Zombies. Compared to the normal ones, Plagued Zombies were slightly larger and had a green glow surrounding their body; their attacks would now poison their target. According to Five's plan, these 5 zombies would act as mini-bosses for this floor.
With about 150 zombies grunting all over the place, the graveyard already became quite lively but Five moved on to the next monster he wanted to summon: level 16 Spectral Hounds
Spectral Hounds were not undead monsters but rather, ghost monsters. However, Five felt that they fit in well with the theme and could compensate for the zombie's sluggishness. Spectral hounds were ghosts in the form of dogs. They had two forms; their casual form and their aggroed one.
In their casual form, spectral hounds looked like cute puppies. They were completely transparent and emitted a faint blue light. They would usually be playfully biting bones in the graveyard and would look completely harmless but that was until enemies would get into their aggro range.
As soon as someone it did not recognize would get near it, the spectral hound would change form and would look like an adult wolfdog. In this form, it would lose any traces of its previous cuteness and instead, ruthlessly attack the invader.
They were perfectly adapted to an environment like a graveyard and were very fast. They could easily help the zombies take care of the players that might enter this floor. Additionally, since they were ghost-type monsters, they took reduced damage from physical attacks!
Five quickly summoned 20 Spectral hounds and spread them in the graveyard. He did not want to put too much of them since the main theme of this place should be the zombies.
Finally, Five moved to the last monster he wanted to summon on this floor. He felt that 3 species of monsters on one floor was appropriate. Even though right now the monsters were not feeding on each other to survive, there was some sort of symbiosis where each species could help each other.

The last monster he wanted to summon was the level 18 Wraith.
Wraiths were monsters that felt both in the category of an undead and a ghost. But the reason Five wanted to summon them was that they dealt magic damage! So far, all his monsters currently only dealt physical damage which was good in the early game but later, when everyone would be able to afford heavy armors, he would definitely suffer.
Wraiths were the perfect candidate since they blended well with the theme of the graveyard. Five quickly summoned 30 wraiths and let them roam through the floor. With that, the 3rd floor was complete!
It looked just like a real graveyard coming out of a horror movie. It was slightly toned down such that it was not too scary it looked extremely realist, especially the dark starry sky which was adding to the atmosphere.
"Good! Since the 3rd floor is done, let's move on to the 4th one!" said Five.
At that moment, Dreidus spoke, "Master, I think we should go slowly! I know that you still have about 120000 DP but I think you should build your living quarters first! This is your dungeon and you should at least feel comfortable to live there! At least build one floor where there will be no undead!"
Hearing that, Five lightly coughed, 'Dreidus is very keen...’
"Fine, I'll build a good place to live first," answered Five.
"Also... I took the liberty to check the monsters you could summon! I would suggest summoning a few harpies! If you summon them now, they can already start absorbing energy from the dungeon and level up. This way, when it would be time for them to fight, they would be stronger than level 20!" said Dreidus.
Five widened his eyes, it seemed like Dreidus already thought about everything. "Alright, I'll do that!"
‘I focused on quantity rather than on quality this time. I hope that by using their numerical advantage, the monsters will be able to deal with the barbarians if they suddenly decide to attack.'
...
For 6000 DP, Five unlocked the 4th floor and stared at the empty room. "Sigh... My new home..."
Using the 4th floor as his living quarters did not mean that the dungeon would only consist of 3 floors. This was only temporary; he could still unlock the next floor and simply swap it with this one for some DP. It was inefficient but if he did not do so, then he would need to wait until all his floors were completed before building his home which could take ages to happen.

After clearing his thoughts, Five decided to spend about 10000 DP on his living quarters. He started by spending 2000 DP to remove the dirt and make the rooms and the corridor connecting them. With that amount, he was able to make 15 rooms, but these were quite large, about 8m x 8m x 4m.
Since this was where he was going to live for an indefinite amount of time, Five was not shy at spending for the comfort. The rest of the 10000 DP all went to furnishing the different rooms. He was not great for this and made all the rooms the same.
Unfortunately, while doing so, Five ended up spending another 10000 DP just on the decoration. The furnitures were abnormally expensive; all the rooms including his own only contained a bed, a wardrobe, a bookshelf, a table, a pair of chairs and a sofa! Apart from that, there were a few items like a painting to brighten the atmosphere of the room since there were no windows.
But as soon as Five sat and lay down on the bed, he felt that it was all worth it! The bed was so soft and smooth, it was like he was being gently caressed by an angel. Even though the room was not even painted and there was no connection to the outside, he felt like it was an excellent home for him.
"Dreidus! The rooms are done. Pick one you like!" said Five as he was lying on the bed.
On the side, Dreidus was awkwardly looking at his master, "Okay, I will take the one at the end of the corridor! As an undead, I know it would be better this way," and without waiting, he quickly left the room.
Now left alone, Five took some time to relax before sitting back up on his bed and opening his interface. He started by making the secret tunnel he was thinking about. He spent 10000 DP just to make a long tunnel and stairs, connecting all the 4 floors together, with a secret exit on each floor. The tunnels and the stairs were of decent size, but they were nowhere near the secret tunnels of Kroff's Dungeon.
Also, Five could not yet afford teleportation platforms, he would need to take the stairs for now. Each one of those platforms would cost 100000 DP and he would need two of them to use. For now, his secret tunnels were good enough.
There were still 90000 DP in his balance which was more than enough to summon a few harpies. However, Five decided to only summon 3 of them for now. With his dungeon growing, 10000 DP as an emergency reserve was no longer enough. He wanted to summon harpies to see if they could adapt to this environment. At the same time, he wanted to summon them at level 20 and give them time to level up.
Having made his decision, Five pressed the confirm button and instantly, 3 summoning circles appeared in front of his bed. One second later, 3 winged silhouettes appeared as the circles were glowing.
The circles completely vanished, revealing 3 beautiful young girls standing in the middle of the room with confused expressions.
The 3 harpies all had black wings and were wearing a long white dress. Compared to the harpies he saw at Kroff's dungeon, these ones looked much younger like 15 years-old girls. They were brimming with youth and although they were all extremely beautiful, they were still showing signs of carefreeness.
The one on the left was the tallest of the three, she had red hair and piercing eyes. From one look, Five could tell that she most probably had a fiery temper. She looked like someone eager to discover new things, unafraid of the unknown.
The harpy on the right was the exact opposite. She had pale silver hair and looked calm and gentle. Adding to her cuteness, around her, was a soothing aura acting like a protecting barrier. Once she grew up, she would definitely look like one of those gentle beauties.
As for the last one, Five was completely stunned when he saw her. She had a frail slender figure, long purple hair, and a flawless white face. She was definitely a beauty of her own but what struck Five was that she looked exactly like Harriet, a younger immature version of Harriet to be precise! If he did not know that it was the harpy he had just summoned, Five might actually believe that it was Harriet.
When his eyes fell on her, Five fell into deep thoughts, pondering about what could have happened to the harpy queen.
