Dungeon Mechanics
Dungeons gain mana from a number of different sources.
the Core room give 5 mana per floor.
Each Boss rooms give 3 mana. (maximum 1 per floor)
Entances give a variable amount of mana depending on the environment outside of the dungeon, because the outside of RJs dungeon is a ruin, it is only 2 mana, the more 'life' that exists outside the dungeon the more mana seeps in through the doorway.
Absorbing sentient being and magical beasts gives mana dependent ont their tier(F=1,D=10,C=25,B=50, A=100, S=200 +100 per additional S). Animals of significant size and strength give a small amount of mana ( at most 10, as no non-magical animal is considered higher then a D tier challenge). vermin and small animals only provide enough mana for their master copy. (with the exception of extremely rare or deadly vermin/animals who give mana like larger animals)
Absorbing magical items provides mana dependant on the rarity of the item.

Dungeon monsters
Dungeon monsters can be gained by absorbing a new species, evolving a current species, binding a monster to the dungeon, or occasionally they can be spawned randomly from a saturation of dungeon mana.
Each time a new species is absorbed, the first one evolves, or the first one spawns, It spawns/becomes a master copy. All other dungeon monsters of its type mirror its intelligence, form, and base abilities. They also share achievements, though only the master copy gets the effects of its titles. Boss monsters cannot have copys of themselves on the same floor as their boss room, but later floors can use them as base monsters.
their are common, uncommon, and rare forms of each kind of dungeon monster, and the kind attained is random. (depending on story needs i pick, or i roll a percentage) Dungeon cores are not aware of the exact chances of getting a particular type of monster, and RJ wouldn't know if his monsters are rare because he has never been or spoken to a necrotic dungeon before. (they are often destroyed quickly when found)

Dungeon monsters can evolve from a number of different conditions. Kill count, killing a vastly stronger opponent, certain achievements, certain titles, being exposed to certain mana types, or even just force of will. All of these things can contribute to an evolution.
Becoming a Boss monster also causes an evolution, it adds an extra factor on top of all of the previously mentioned contributions. Dungeon cores tend to make their most veteran creatures Boss monsters in the hope of getting a particularly strong one
Master copys and boss monsters are immortal, they revive from the ambient dungeon mana after a set time based on their strength. copys must be resummoned every time they are slain.
---
Dungeon loot is determined by creature type, mana type, and random chance. All creatures have at least an uncommon drop. Though rarer monster types have rarer drops. (this is another way dungeons can learn of their creatures rarity). Dungeon can create loot in chests based off the things they absorb, but have no control over the items their monsters drop.

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
