《Nomad Dungeon》Chapter 16 - Spider & Dungeon modification.
Advertisement
For the new monster, I choose a spider monster, I need it to just be a spider that is specialized in thread usage.
Regardless if it's for offensive, defensive, or special usages, just being specialized in using threads is enough for me.
And Soon enough I found the monster, the Weaver Spider.
It can use its threads for almost any number of things, traps, sensor, cutting, blocking and hiding, it is capable of all of these and more, the downside is, the thread themselves aren't very strong, enough forces can snap them.
Since I need this spider solely for surveillance, it's fine enough for me at the moment, also I should give it some evolutionary properties since this one may be staying with me for a long time.
Ah, the price for opening a path for it to one day become an Arachne is surprisingly cheap, in that case, I should make a good investment into this monster.
Get this evolutionary path to Arachne.
oh, add in this Jack of all trades potential for the versatile thread usage.
Have its growth be focused on threads-based skills.
Give it Stealth, Concealment, Presence Cloak, Blend, Disguise, Detection and All-Rounded Resistance for survivability.
Ok so the final cost's will be
[Total Cost: 7,594 DP]
[Accept?]
A little over budget but this monster should work wonders.
Accept.
[Remaining: 18,074 DP]
A small dark blue spider appeared.
Despite its small appearance it even seems a little sinister.
[Weaver Spider] Newborn

Even its status is nothing to laugh at.
I immediately ordered it to build a sort of surveillance network with web outside of this dungeon, seemingly having understood me, it begins spinning a web and moves towards the outside, ah one more thing I ordered it to make a home and base in here, but after I'm done editing this dungeon to my tastes.

I spot Oozer and eye-bat, they are waiting, maybe to execute my new orders?
Well, for now, I have Oozer continue eating rocks and get Eye-bat to keep surveillance not outside but in here.
Never know when I'm unlucky and I don't want to waste more precious DP in its resurrection.
I start work on my dungeon, I begin creating paths throughout the dungeon and creating lower floors, and higher floors.
One for a place to rest and the other for a place to escape, I'll need to keep the other one as hidden as possible.
I can't make too many things, as it would cost too much DP, so I need a lot of effective and cost-efficient traps.
A lot of the lethal traps a cost-heavy but harassment traps are much cheaper, no matter where I look, the one difference in lethality makes a huge difference in cost, I'm both surprised and glad for this,
A huge future awaits me down this path.
huhuhu.
I begin constructing a variety of new non-lethal harassments like endless corridors, hehe, a helium room, extreme heat sauna room, extreme cold freezer room, it's easy to escape but these rooms are big and people need to pass them to proceed.
Gate's of wisdom, where you can assign any question, but needs to have an appropriate answer, and will act like tightly sealed doors which is possible to breathe mana through.
For the traps viscous liquid trap, viscous liquid projectiles, helium trapdoor room, a trick step trap, that alters the direction of anyone who steps onto it without even them knowing.
Next up, puzzle room's let's make them as frustrating as possible.
A lot of idea's pop up into my head, like tricky riddles, questions that only idiots can figure out.
I'm having a lot of fun just making these
Time continues to pass as I'm indulged in this process.

Single Player
There are many games played on the world of Earth- some virtual, some board-bound, others much more real. For Grey Shor, the Apocalypse brings a game unlike any he’s seen before- one that pits him against all manner of monsters, both human and otherwise. In this new reality, he has but a single goal: win. With the Apocalypse comes Evolutions- abilities that combine and level to transcend humanity. For Grey, this means Single Player, a power that allows him to play this new game by his own rules. After fighting through the hell known as the Apocalypse's Tutorial, Grey returns to Earth, finding it poorly prepared for the hell ahead. Armed with information regarding the future and powers ripped straight from myth, he begins a game that will not only find its way to the annals of history, but change them forever. The only way to save the world is to destroy it. — This is a story inspired by Death Note, the System Apocalypse sub genre, and stories like Solo Leveling and The Gamer. Will it appeal to fans of those stories? I can only hope.

Paradigm Shift - New Beginnings
The known universe is facing an invasion from a foe that can rewrite the natural laws and that will destroy everyting we know. Derrick is ripped from his world and sent to the newest incursion point of an enemy he doesn't even know exists. He is the hail mary or kitchen sink of the universe and it will be up to him to adapt to his new world and become strong enough to survive and to save the universe. ********* Author's Note ********* This is my first published book so feedback would be appreciated. A couple of caveats. First this story is about the details, if you don't enjoy reading and finding the easter eggs or just like to speed read through the chapters you will probably not enjoy it. Second for those that do not like the Harem tag I just want to state that this is going to be a matriarchal society and the women will outnumber the men 5-1. That being the case and because of the culture that I imagine would arise from this I felt it fair to put that tag out there. However, the main character isn't going to be picking up women left and right. This is not a typical harem story. Image was googled so I have no rights to it

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
