Chapter 4 - Undead Dungeon

Having planned his type of dungeon, Little White started to work on bringing it to life. His first action was to create an undead type room, a graveyard. Little White entered the [Rooms] function of the dungeon menu and then went into the undead category, where he only found one unlocked room type.

[Tiny Unholy Cave]

Size: Tiny

Effect: +2%

Discount: -0.5

Mana production: 2/hour

Cost: 1000

This was a lot more expensive that what Little White had expected and more than that, the discount on related units was quite tiny. Little White however found himself in a tough spot since having just one room between the outside and his core, was extremely frightening. If someone sprinted through the first room Little White would have no defences at all.

Thinking this, Little White decided to be brave and wait until he could buy a room, his avatar moved to the middle of the cave room next to the entrance and then he sat down with his skeleton commoner next to him.

"Crunch" Suddenly hearing a sound from outside Little White yelped and summoned ten skeleton commoners. Ordering the skeletons to surround his avatar, Little White slowly backed away from the entrance. After waiting around fifteen minutes… nothing happened and Little White calmed down.

The skeleton commoners each cost 15 mana each and Little White could now despair at the sight of his mana level falling to 241. Little White had acted to impulsively again, he had even prioritized protecting his avatar above his core. After calming down he spread the skeletons out in the cave room and sat down with his avatar at the pathway between the core and cave room. Sitting protected by a small army of skeletons, Little White decided to inspect one of them and a menu popped up.

[Skeleton Commoner]

Race: Skeleton

Class: Commoner

Affiliation: Undead

Level: 1

Undead mana: [002/500]

Skills: none

Rank: H

Equipment: rake (No bonus)

Now that he thought about it, Little White could see that the Skeleton Commoners had different weapons that they had been summoned with. He decided to move the ones with longer weapons like rakes backwards, and the ones with shorter weapons like hammers forward. After doing this Little White's avatar slowly fell asleep while leaning against the wall of his dungeon. After falling asleep his dungeon went dormant.

-- -- -- -- --

[GROOOWWWLLL] Hearing a scary beastly roar Little White instantly woke up from his sleep. Looking around he found that he was in the same room where he had fallen asleep and everything was just as they had been before. Suddenly he felt a weird sensation as something entered his dungeon body. An alert passed through his mind as he moved his senses towards the entrances, where the ferocious animal which had woken him stood.

[Dungeon Invasion Alert]

Your dungeon has been invaded by an enemy, while it is inside of the dungeon, mana will be absorbed from the enemy depending on how strong it is and if it is killed, much more mana will be gained. This will be omitted in the future.

Name: [Unknown]

Enemy race: Horned Rabbit

Enemy class: Nobel Rabbit

Enemy skills: Stunning roar, [Unknown]

Level: 12

Mana absorption: 200/hour

Mana absorption on death: 4000

Enemy description: A rabbit from the Horned Rabbit race, bearing two horns as a symbol of its nobility.

At the entrance of the dungeon, Little White found a rabbit with two horns, standing with a gaze full of hostility. Considering it was a Nobel Rabbit, Little White was about to try to convince the rabbit to leave, when it attacked the closest skeleton.

The rabbit jumped straight into the skeleton, sending it flying. Little White tried to surround the rabbit, but it was level 12 so none of the skeletons stood a chance, one of them hit the rabbit with his rake, but the rabbit didn't even react. Some of the skeletons got up again, but by the end all of them were either crippled or dead.

In the end the only hindrance in front of the rabbit was Little White's avatar. Then the [Dungeon Invasion Alert] went off again.

[Dungeon Invasion Alert]

Name: [Unknown]

Enemy race: Human

Enemy class: knight

Enemy skills: [Unknown]

Level: 35

Mana absorption: 600/hr

Mana absorption on death: 12000

Enemy description: A human knight, the most common experts of the human forces.

Although humans scared Little White, this horned rabbit was much scarier than almost any human he had ever met, so Little White did the only rational action. He jumped through the air towards the newly emerged character and landed on his knees and immediately begged for help.

"Please save me brave knight. This rude invader suddenly attacked me, I'm innocent‼ I'm rich I will make it worth your time" With closed eyes overflowing with tears, Little White yelled out for help, while lying through his teeth. When he heard no response Little White slowly looked up and saw a female knight basked in the golden light from the sun outside, on her face was a cold smile.

"I will safe you, you just have to sign this paper" A pen and a contract fell onto the ground right before Little White and without considering it, he grabbed them and signed at full speed. "I signed it now safe me!" Little White exclaimed while crawling behind the knight. Suddenly Little White felt like something was wrong, first a noble monster had appeared and just when he was in despair this hero arrived and made him sign a contract. "Wait can I…" before being able to say more Little White was cut off by the knight. "Thanks for the help Pete, you can leave now." The rabbit nodded and left the dungeon. Feeling a chill down his back Little White backed away from the knight.

"Ahahahaha, now that you have signed this master slave contract I am officially this dungeons master, now get down on your knees and pay respect to your new master… Wait isn't he paying respect?" Little White was afraid but being cautious he always signed with a fake name, so the contract was not actually binding, even if it was a magical contract. Quickly realising that the knight couldn't tell that the contract did not work, Little White pretended he was brought to his knees not wanting to alarm the knight. "Little White pays respect to dungeon master."

"Haha good, to think I, Alessey would become a dungeon master at the age of 19. I really am a genius hahaha" Bragging the knight revealed her name. Little White started talking with his new dungeon master and found that that she knew profoundly little about dungeons. Slowly Little White started deceiving her and changing her image of what a dungeon is.

"I'm an undead dungeon and can only summon undead monsters… Actually, this human body isn't an avatar but my true body, if it dies I die… Actually, the fact that dungeons can give others access to their dungeon menu is a myth… I have no mana left at all, so I can't create a treasure for you." (lies)

Alessey bought everything Little White said, since she assumed he was under the contract and couldn't lie. Little White also got a lot of information from her about the country outside of the dungeon. It was a small kingdom called Rarus Kingdom, it was a vassal to the huge Incrementum Empire, one of the two greatest human empires. Alessey was from the royal family of Rarus, and the kingdom had a magical treasure which can detect nearby dungeons, that was why Alessey knew where to find the dungeon.

"Well we will be cooperating together from now on my dungeon, so let us work together towards to goal of overthrowing Incrementum Empire!" Sounding extremely motivated Alessey yelled out her goal, while Little White became extremely worried.
