You had been walking along when you heard screeching behind you. as you turn you see an out-of-control truck trying to stop before it plowed over you.

"what the fuck" is all I can get out before you feel it crash into me and fortunately I lose consciousness as i die.

As i come to again i feel no pain and feel like I am floating. All I can see a dimly lit cave area. You slowly remembering your last moments and realize that you should be in a hospital. you are far from calm and can't feel your body or limbs as you try to look at your self I see a light coming from a small red crystal in the center of the depression. I feel a deep connection to it and your perspective snaps inside of it.

DING: due to introspection level one as dungeon core gained. You now can claim territory. as you claim rock and material you can move and condense it.

DING: first mission gained is to find the surface.

DING: choose a starter monster. rock troll, feral goblin, or imps

Hmm i think the rock troll would be best in the caves. is there enough for them to survive down here even

DO YOU CHOOSE ROCK TROLL? well a description would be nice i thought

ROCK TROLL: these creatures love caves and can subsist on stone alone and with low oxygen environments without harm. they start small but as they gain levels can become large. They have a thick stone skin and great endurance for starter creatures but take more resources to creat

Damn it responds to my thoughts i guess. YES, i think and choose the rock troll.

Mana at 20/20

Passive regeneration: 1 per day gain more from strong emotion or life energy

Summons available: rock troll 20 mp reqired

Damn i won't have an army but he is a great tank for so early in my development i hope at least.. I have him start digging into where i can feel the walls are softer. as he breaks it down i can claim it easier. Losing track of time i suddenly hear his breakthrough into a open area at the base of a cliff

DING: success in mission rewarded 100xp

DING: level up to 2. you have gain a boon. choose from the following increased energy production, monstrous breeding, or increased chance for traps to remain unnoticed

Let's see monstrous breeding sounds interesting

DING: monstrous breeding will enable you to breed monsters in adventures caught within the dungeon. The monster born of adventurer will have increased stats.

sounds great i will take this one voice. this will work out great with my plans to capture some long-term power generators. what better than breeding them with monsters to gain energy and better creations.
