After a day of immersing himself in madly researching everything, Aki had found the 'name', more like a physical representation of instance left in three dimensional space, of several things.

It was a torturing process that had made his nose bleed at the begining, but there was a reason he began with abstract and complex concepts such as space and time.

Granted it was one of the coolest options available, but it was also because it was one of the most prevalent fenomena he could study as a simbionte of the great tree thanks to it's size, history and future being so immeasurably big even when put in comparison to all the simpler phenomena.

Turns out he made the correct choice since literally everything exists inside of those two, giving him a base from which to start on whatever he wanted to try it on.

Apparently people had figured out the same through pure experimentation, because all the more advanced enchantments suggested in the books had partial descriptions of them.

It was quite unlikely that he learned everything there was to learn about several concepts so quickly, but his best bet was experimenting till he got the answers to complement his knowledge.

For every level of enchanting, his dungeon menu got new options for mana usage, but it was when he figured new runes that he really got useful things.

As his first five levels were caverns and filled with pits, he was able to add a generation of carbon dioxide to the traps.

Aki had been thinking of adding some metal golems around to attract adventurers and defend the dungeon at the same time, but this gave him a better idea.

It was as easy as trying to feed a hive of stone spiders with tons of coal, because apparently this generated coal spiders.

He shoved two hundred of those on an iron box and it took about twelve hours for five spiders to evolve after eating the coal out of their brothers and sisters. This made carbon spiders, which he'd be using later thanks to some funny properties they had.

He took the time to nap and care for himself, noting down possible enchantements on a small notebook as he waited for the spiders to stop.

Doing the same thing to the evolved variants was somewhat faster since their evolution requirements was apparently mass and density instead of XP. It somewhat made sense with all the energy he was shoving into the project too, but the two spiders actually grew from the size of his palm to the size of small dogs instead of becoming diamonds, so he released the bigger ones on the fifth floor and refilled the box with twice the previous amount of spiders before telling the them to hold off their evolution and aim for something even more powerful.

This, in turn, would likely add a lot more hours to the project, so instead Aki went back to designing the sixth floor.

His consciousness practically left his body, though he still had some notion what was happening around, though he needed to ask Victoria to warn him when the spiders were finished.

The proto sun he'd made with light source adjustments shined brightly over the lush green jungle of the sixth floor, making for a beautiful sight he really wished to never phisically experience.

Just looking at the monkeys eating mangos and the prowling feline monsters supposed to be jaguars he could imagine both the heat, humidity and the aborigines making their presence there.

Really, he'd have put more variety on the fauna, but four eyed and six legged cat was the least changed animal from the tropical climate he could summon with the exception of monkeys, lizards and birds, the later of which weren't even aggressive.

Tapirs were very spiky and shot those on their backs like turrets, turtles stood at least two meters tall and very broad, even some hummingbirds were ridiculously aggressive, forming flights and trying to drink blood from everything.

The plants and trees were luckily completely fine, so he didn't doubt the sixth to tenth floor would become highly populated as sources of exotic wood, specialties and some other things he would introduce in the ninth and tenth level.

He knew people would like them because apparently he was considered the creator of bananas, cacau, sugar cane and weed!

All that was really left for this floor was maybe to add fish to the river leading to the small hill with the stairs to the next level and maybe add more fruits around so the monkeys wouldn't eat everything.

The seventh floor was already almost completely claimed, no random cave system appearing on his digging, so he really just needed to keep going down. This ment that he could either train, and his mental attributes were already reaching the maximum he could have at the moment, or help Atlas with the expansion effort. The spiders were not going to be ready so soon and he didn't actually have any other feasible monster ideas.

Just as he was wondering what he could draw as practice for his runes, two things caught his attention, one of which was highly annoying for personal reasons.

He really wanted a sandwich right now, but using money for something like that really wasn't something he wanted to or really knew how to do.

The other news was that his alpha wolf came back, two hundred something wolves following her.

There hadn't actually been any problem with a female alpha, she herself explaining that her mate would fill in while she was pregnant while she stayed with the elders and coordinated hunts from a distance. It'd be even less a problem if she learned magic.

Apparently, she had.

She came back because she was going to evolve, meaning she'd be weak for a while. This had made Aki very happy since evolution was the monster equivalent of classing up, meaning he now had someone at the third tier!

He teleported to the entrance of the dungeon, a smile with no teeth in his face.

'Young master!' Exclaimed the pack he'd tamed, overgrown wolves jumping and licking him while their tails waged around.

It was only after fifteen minutes that the big murder floffs calmed down, the dense pack behind them patiently waiting.

"It is good to see you all are well and have grown in power and experience. I have prepared some caves in the valley to the west, some clearings of grass and roads to good hunting places, all of which are awaiting you all." He said, directing himself to the big conglomeration of wolves, which barked and howled in happiness since they were able to understand him well enough through the dungeon link they shared as a pack. "And Aisha gets a special reward, ask for anything." He said, nuzzling her muzzle while scratching the base of her head.

She was so happy she licked him again.

"Then, I want to be the young master's mate!" She cheerfully declared, silence reigning around.

If translated for a human to understand, the black wolf with white streaks in her undersides and paws with cold blue eyes was quite the desirable partner even without her alpha status, so the pack were overall fangirling in the back stage, but Aki was shell shocked in a different way.

Through some magical effects, the wolves had become more intelligent and practical while under his influence, so he could not run away from something like that by pointing out that despite a human's normal virility, he'd still be unable to reproduce with a wolf, because Aisha had summoned the evolution prompt she was going to accept, and really, he was quite proud.

{White striped wolf were kin matriarch (U): At least one solo cross rank kill. At least ten group cross rank kills. High ice affinity. Inspired hundreds of followers. Guided others to a previously unique species...}

The description continued with some system inane banter, but he could guess what kind of abilities this would give her and how her desire to become more like him. He had no clue wether she'd gain access to a class, but he was pretty sure kin were perfectly able to mate with humans despite their supposed innexistence in yggdrasil's natural lifeforms.

This ment Aisha considered becoming closer to him something nescessarry on a fundamental level and met the horrible requirements to be the first demi-human of her species.

This made Aki very, very proud, but also terrified.

He had no intention to agree to her request, the situation was pure bullshit and made him want to laugh. It was, however, impossible to ignore the feelings through their bond, so he felt like shit for thinking of his doggo like that.

"That'd be a bit hard still. How about this, after you evolve, you stay around protecting the dungeon and becoming familiar with your new body while I finally take the time to reach the second tier. With you guarding I will have no reservations on my growth, so when I come back we can spar and if you win you can become my mate." He said, regretting every sentence because of how it hurt him. The turmoil was suddenly much worse than every time he went against what he considered right however, pain eradiating from his core like a stell spike ball had sprouted in his digestive track.

He still maintained a smile, though the wolves started looking worried, so he spat a glob of black blood that had been surfacing.

"Sorry about that, just an experiment not going so well. I will begin my preparations while i deal with this problem. Relax, hunt and protect the dungeon's sixth floor in case someone get's there, Atlas and Victoria will help with that." He said, kissing the closest wolves on the forehead and teleporting away.

"Big sister..."

"I also smelled it. There's nothing we can do. The young master clearly doesn't want us to worry, so we shouldn't. Maybe he just got too powerfull for his body." Replied Aisha as she walked foward, a shine in her ice blue eyes.

*****

Seeing the small creature he had no way of crushing shine in his palm and look at him with great pride, Aki found it strangely cute for a beast that had just killed and canibalized hundreds of it's siblings.

Out of all the spiders he put in the 'venon jar', only one became a diamond spider. It wasn't even a ferocious killer or the like, she actually said to preffer dancing and singing and claimed to have been looking for a prettier evolution so she'd not have to fight.

A normal dungeon master would likely be worried that he'd produced such an individual in any monster species even if on purpose, but not Aki, he was happy to tell special agent Serebriakov to start braiding her webs into works of art wherever she wanted, nominating her as the leader of all future diamond spiders, of which he actually summoned five more imediatly after declaring so.

The high pitched voice of a young woman resounded when Sere played with her strings for a bit, vibration and pressure manipulation aparently being part of her natural skillset, rapidly pushing around the other spiders so they could start bringing shine to the dungeon, making it both scarier and prettier at the same time.

The intusiastic little spider rapidly left a smiling Aki behind, the later of which could only shake his head and prepare to go towards the nearest town so he could register as a newby adventurer from a nameless farming village, which don't actually have guild halls because of several money related reasons.

Sara, who had recently upgraded her class to add lightning magic into her fighting stile, was going to be his reference as she accompanied him to the small town 'two days away' on foot.
