《Curiosity Didn't Killed the Dungeon》Chapter 3: First Visitor
Advertisement
For weeks, I keep observing my creatures. My creatures reproduced themselves. The goblins and fish breeds, while the slime split itself after eating. The goblins mainly eat the plants that was growing in my dungeon and it's fruit. Yep, some of the plants produced berry like fruit. They eat the fish sometimes to balance their nutrition, and eating slimes for jelly like snack. Also, my goblins don't have any shelter to be called home, they sleep in the open while some is guarding from slimes. They changed the guards every hours. The defense they have is only clothes made of dried plants. I'm holding my urge to edit them and save my essence for better edits later.
Right now, in my dungeon, I have 23 goblins, 43 slimes, and 74 fish. The slimes are reproducing fast. They eat plants and absorb waters. While the fish eat the plants that grow in the big puddle that turned into a deep pond now. My fish is becoming bigger the more they eat. They are not the normal fish with 30cm length anymore. Some even reached over 1 meter length. More puddles of waters appeard in the cave, and I placed 3 of my Cannon there, while the other two is placed on the wall and ceiling. My core is located at the deepest part of the pond. And I have 4 spells in my arsenal that I got by ranking up.
Spells [Purify Water] [Drain Water] [Water Barrier] [Make It Rain]
Today, I feel something opened with a crumbling sound, and an unknown presence entering my dungeon. I feel that a hole in one of the walls is made, and some creature, which I suspected was kobolds, entered. I just realized that I don't have any holes for entrances.
"Boss, looks like we've found a dungeon here." One of the kobolds inside said while turned his head to look behind.
Understanding a monster's language isn't a new fact to me. I know it after creating the goblins, my goblins talked into each others and I noticed that I understand what they are talking about. However, I can't communicate with my creatures.

A kobold, bigger than the others, walked in, "This can be useful, we can build our house here and start our own tribe. Send in the scouts to explore!" He commanded the other kobolds. After commanding the scouts, he walked near a kobold and whisper to him.
7 agile kobolds with the whispered one in the lead begin to explore the dungeon. One of them is killed by a slime, another is killed by my Boiling Water Cannon, and three of them are killed in a clash with the goblins. What a sad team, only 2 remains by exploring a F- Rank dungeon. The survivors run in a hurry to their boss.
"Hah.. Hah... Boss, there, is a goblin tribe in here, there are 15 of them, at the minimum" Said one of the survivor which I guess is the one in the lead before while he is catching for breath.
"Where are the others? Where are my son?" Their boss said with an angry look on his face.
"Forgive us, boss. Your son he.. He is dea-
Not even finishing his words the kobold have its head flying.
"You, why did he die?" He ask to the last survivor.
"H-he is ki-killed by a s-stream of hot w-water that burn his skin. P-please don't kill me, I'm the last scout. If w-we make a tribe, w-we need a s-scout. A-and I can t-teach the new g-generation how to b-be a scout." The scout said while stuttering.
"Alright, you've proven your point to be true. I spare you!" The leader said.
"Now, march to the goblins! Eliminate them! Let them taste our revenge!" The leader commanded the others.
After that, all of them enter and begin to march to the goblins. There are 42 of them with all of them armed. If they clashed with my goblins, my goblins would surely be annihilated, as there is only 10 adults in my goblin's tribe. Let's just hope the traps and slime could reduce their numbers.
And my hope come true, but not as expected. 2 of them was killed by the Boiling Water Cannons, while 4 are killed by the slimes, reducing their numbers to 36. However, even with 7% of their number reduced, my goblins would still be annihilated.

When the goblins and kobolds meet each others, they begin their clash. And as I have guessed, the goblins lose and some of them escape by swimming in the pond and reached the other end of the wide cave, separated by the pond. You don't need to swim to go there, you could go to the edge of the pond, where the waters only reached the kobolds knee and some area doesn't have any water.
There are 33 kobolds remaining and 5 goblins left. The kobolds begin making shelter by cutting the woods outside the dungeon and bringing it here. Making a wooden shelters near the pond to rest. I have a plan on how to eliminate the kobolds, but I need them to bring the wood inside first so that I can use it for another of my creature.
After weeks of hard works the kobolds finished making the buildings for their base and even a wooden walls to guard their little home. I feel bad, but I need to kill them. If I can communicate with them, maybe I can make them to submit under my control and I could let them live freely in my dungeon. But that is not the case here. I MUST eliminate them. They are intruders and this is my dungeon, my body itself. Their existence endangers mine.
I keep observing them. They take the waters from the pond for their daily necessities. After observing them, I begin my plan. First, I blocked their water resource using [Water Barrier] to block it from the rest of the pond. Second, I drained all of the water inside the blockade using [Drain Water] and exchanging it into Poison Waters.
The next day, all of them are dead. Corspes lying on the grounds of their base. Even their leader. Using another of my ability, I cast [Purify Water] into the Poisoned water and then removed the blockade. Also, I got a few notifications.
You've killed 10 kobolds, unlocking Water Kobolds on the Creation Menu Congratulations! You've become a Tier 1 Dungeon! Essence Regen increased by 0.5/hour and Mana Regen increased by 2.5/hour. Please select the bonus! For being a sentient dungeon and killing an entire village mercilessly, you've earned a Title 'Heartless' You've obtained a new title, would you like to set a main title?
After the congratulation message disappeared, a new window appeared in front of me.
Select your bonus Increase Mana Regen (+ 10%/hour) Increase Essence Regen (+ 10%/hour) Increase Creature's Reproduction (+ 10%) Increase Traps Efficiency (+ 10% Damage)
After thinking for a few minutes, I decided to chose the 'Essence Regen' upgrade. Seeing the last notification about the title, I immediately look for the title selection menu.
Title Equipped: None Editor Heartless
Focusing my mind to know the details, it showed me the details.
Title Titles are used to show your achievement and gaining a bonus effect. The bonus for each title varies. Passive bonus is a rare bonus you get even when you are not equipping the title. Active bonus is gained only when you equipped the title. Editor - Unique Active Bonus: None Passive Bonus: Unlock the ability to 'Edit' your creatures Heartless Active Bonus: Intimidate the creatures near you. For dungeon, it intimidates the creatures inside the dungeon, except the ones created by the dungeon Passive Bonus: None
I selected the Heartless title, as the Editor title doesn't have any active bonus. After recharging the Cannons, I checked my status.
Status Title: The Heartless Sentient Dungeon Type: Dungeon Affinity: Water Rank: F- Tier: 1 Resources Essence: 110,8 Mana: 3300 Essence Regeneration: 0.165/hour Mana Regeneration: 7.5/hour
Confirming my essence, I bought 11 Water Kobolds for 6 Essence each, reducing my essence into 44,8. Calculating my mana usage, it seems like using my mana for the 100 litres of Poison Water, charging my Cannons and using spells, made my mana dropped into 3300. And I decided not to use it yet. Then I continue to observe my creatures. Still holding off using my 'Editing' power.
