[Element Unlocked: Psychic Energy]
[Your MP had decreased by 50]
The power surging out of Cyrus spread towards the walls and floor of the dark cobblestone hallway. The room then started to shake violently, as a result, the cobblestone walls collapsed opening up to a new room. Becoming a space much bigger than the hallway they were in before.
The first floor now consisted of small pink orbs floating among the room while the walls were made up of black and pink crystals. Oddly in the walls, there were medium-sized holes unclear to what purpose they serve.
5 huge black pillars in the room emerged out of the ground surrounding a large square in the center assumed to be an arena. Two pillars were on the left and right of the square while one is in the back.
Once again, Cyrus repeated the 8 words:
'Arise
And Leave No-one Alive
My Psychic Allies'
Suddenly, the pink energy from Cyrus's outburst started to form 5 human-shaped monsters. The mobs are a mix of a cyclops and a human. They're 8 feet, skin black as ink, and very lean. The most notable features were their one unopened eye in the middle of their face and the different combinations of horns on each separate monster. There are 3 males and 2 females.
Cyrus' eyes closed as soon as the monsters finished forming which made the pink energy finally subside. The monsters left to their positions on the pillars.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked your first element!]

***************
Due to the large consumption of mp in a single moment, It took a couple of minutes for him to respond and open his eyes. 'That drained a lot out of me, but I managed to unlock one of my elements and get an achievement’
{Congratulations on unlocking your first element and achievement. Also, That's normal, your core is only level 1 at the moment. When you summoned your monsters your energy was drained. Say Open Core status to check it}
'What?... How many statuses are there?'
{Only 4. If you look back in your self status, it says core status at the bottom}
'Nah that's okay, I believe you'
{There are also more details on your floors, dungeon, and elements. Just say open and then what information you want to see. For example, “Open Experience” or “Open dungeon status”}
'Got it, that helps. Open Core status'
**********
Core Level 1 Color: Pink HP: 100/100 MP: 30/80 Skills: Arise

**************
'Should I use a MP potion?'
{I wouldn't advise that because mp and hp potions are very rare, so use them wisely. Also, every 2 minute your mp rises by 5, so you shouldn't have to worry about that}
'Alright...' He closes the screen while his core glows a from excitement, “Now, the part I’ve been waiting for... Where are my monsters?”
{Don't you want to see your element first?}
'I can do that later back in the core room. Right now I’m on the first floor, so I might as well see them first'
{I don’t understand what you’ll get from doing that, but alright}
Cyrus's levitation device starts moving towards the arena where the black pillars are. To the average eye, the monsters can't be seen due to the very dim lighting, but Cyrus sees them clearly. Each monster is on a separate pillar posing in different positions.

As soon as he reached the center of the arena, all 5 monsters appeared surrounding him. They're extremely tall, so they're all looking down on him. However, he wasn't intimidated in the slightest, hence why he's calm.
Cyrus has always been a lone wolf. Don't get him wrong, he's not trying to bond with anyone, he just respects strong people. Furthermore, he gets a nice aura from all 5 monsters. He starts to project his thoughts, "Hello Monsters! I am the owner and core of this dungeon, you may call me what you wish! You have been summoned to defend our home for the 7 years we'll be here. If there's anything that you want feel free to ask as long as it's in my power."
{Why are you talking to the monsters?}
'For fun. I wanted to look like an important figure' He smiles with his eyes.
{The monsters are only programmed to defends not talk. You shouldn't waste your time}
'Yeah, yeah I hear you ' Cyrus was about to leave until all 5 monsters suddenly bowed towards him.
The no horned monster was silent when he bowed.
The monster with 2 horns facing up bowed yelling, "Thanks Boss!" grinning.
The monster with 1 horn facing up and the other facing down bowed calmly, "Yes, my lord"
The female monster with 1 horn bowed firmly and shouted, "Yes sir!"
The other female monster with a horned crown lightly bowed and smiled, "As you wish, my king"
Cyrus was taken aback because he thought they would just nod and retreat to their positions. Pics as well is at a loss for words because she's never seen that happen before. She may be a computer system, but she can be surprised too.
"Um... You may go back to your positions"
All of the monsters disappeared in an instant and when onto their separate pillars.
{You're the first person to ever talk to the monsters and get them to respond}
'Really? They don't usually talk?' Cyrus is a bit surprised, but at the same time, he doesn't care so he shrugs it off. 'Let's go back to the core room and look at my element'
{Teleporting now}
They arrive back in the pink room that continues to make Cyrus's eyes bleed. He wasn’t expecting anything to change, but he hoped he got accustomed to it by now. 'I don't think I’ll ever get used to this room. Anyways, Open Element 1'
************
Element 1: Psychic Energy Level 1 Skills: (Locked) (Requirements: Must unlock fake body)
*************
Cyrus groans 'I can't use my skills until I unlock my fake body skill? How do I unlock it?'
{You need to get your core to level 2. That's when it will be strong to split your soul into two.}
'Then what's the point of my element being unlocked?'
{So your monsters can use its power and your official floor could open}
'Oh, that’s right… then how will I level up my core?'
{You need to start killing intruders and get the experience up. 75% of a kill goes to the dungeon and the rest goes to your core. Your core starts dependent on your dungeon and then you can level up it yourself once it gets to level 2. Would you like me to open the dungeon?}
'Yeah, let’s get grinding' he shines brightly.
