Chereads / Genetic Dungeon (HIATUS) / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3- Baby Steps

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3- Baby Steps

After Pandemonium said goodbye I was shrouded in a white light and when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a map on a screen.

It said, "Choose your starting location: Ushana, Oplesh, or Ocrus."

After I saw the screen, a plethora of knowledge appeared in my head.

Ushana is a nation which was founded by Nernero Yigoba the dark elf queen and it was recently created, it is only a few hundred years old. This nation is only open to purebred elves and is very solitary.

Oplesh is a nation made by the Azensant, humanoid-like creatures and has been around for 10,000 years. They are a neutral nation and the only nation with an open policy of race. They are also where people register as adventures.

Orcus is a nation made by Tianlong, the current emperor, and it is the oldest nation, it has been around since the beginning of the world, but it is only open to dragons, dragonkin, and creatures with dragon blood in their body. However, the dragon blood must be natural as in from your birth and not from killing and drinking dragon blood.

"I choose Oplesh."

"Choose your dungeon location: Yin-Yang Mountain, Beast Forest, or Tlahtoacoatl Cave"

I looked at the three options and thought about which one to pick. After thinking for about 2 minutes I am still stuck between the Beast Forest and the Tlahtoacoatl Cave.

I look through the knowledge I obtained, and I ask the interface "Can I capture beasts from outside my dungeon"

"Yes, the dungeon master may capture beast outside the dungeon and the system strongly recommends the dungeon master does this."

"Then, I choose the Beast Forest"

"Location accepted, teleportation sequence started. 3...2...1"

-------------------------

The forest was limitless. Its plethora of flowers and fruit trees were so beautiful that many people wondered if they were in an illusion, but something so beautiful usually hides danger. This forest was ever-growing and the creatures that prowl the night and day are very introverted that it is considered a rank E area. Its canopy was reigned by magnolia, crab apple, and oudlazen, and twinkling lights bursting through their crowns allowed for a flood of bushes to rule the moon colored grounds below. Nine-colored vines dangled from many a tree, and a hodgepodge of flowers, which desperately tried to evade the shadows, added colorful, scented elements to the otherwise void forest grounds. A clamor of noises, most belonged to the insects or fighting creature, resonated through the air, and were out of sync with the barrage of noise coming from the waterfall in the distance.

After another white light shrouded my vision I was in front of a purple waterfall. I felt something in my hand and when I looked down, I could see a type of liquid cube. I looked closer at it and some information pops up.

[Dungeon Name:

Dungeon Master: Percival Graves

Floors: 0

Status: Not Built]

After viewing the information, I realize that this is my dungeon core and I need to say "construct" for the dungeon to be built. When I look around to find a suitable location, I see a flat surface on top of the purple waterfall. I decided that I will build my dungeon there.

[Do you want to build the entrance here? Y or N]

I choose the "Y" option and instantly there was a hole in front of me. Then three screens popped up in front of my vision.

[Entrance of dungeon built]

[Select name for your dungeon]

[Select your two starting races]

After these screens popped up, I was surprised that the entrance to my dungeon was a hole. Then I realized that it had a ladder going down the hole. I thought of a name for my dungeon and it finally came to me.

[Would master like to set "The Catacombs of Zithari" as the dungeons name]

"Yes, I would like to set the dungeon's name like this."

[Name accepted]

After I named my dungeon a new screen came up with a lot of different tabs. However, there was one screen that interested me and that was the "Monster" tab. I clicked it open and this appeared.

[Dungeon master's two starting creatures have been pre-selected]

[Summoning one angelus bellum and one bellum daemonium. Commencing summon]

I swear these white light are really getting on my nerves. After the white lights vanished two males were in front of me.

-----------------------------

Appearing out of the light, a hallowed being with galaxy filled eyes stood in front of me. The absence of sound and a change of focus from all life around marked the descent of the War Angel. He looks at me, and my entire being feels warm and drowsy.

Four slim, golden feathery wings hang like a mantle around the angel. His slender and muscular six-foot body, only two inches taller than me, sets up in a fighting position and his rainbow armor shines so strongly that it feels as if I'm looking at the sun. He unsheathes two falchions of pure light as he unsheathes them, they visibly shake as if they have their own conscious. As he does this I predict this is to fight the demon across from him.

He looks at me in the eyes once more; I see a gentle smile without any emotion. He stretches his wings, ready to launch at the demon.

A clamor in the desolation, a shriek of the wind, and when you look at what made it, you are stared at by a moderate creature of thunder and ash. Two cold eyes stare at you with a harrowing excitement, and a clamor bursts from its jagged mouth, which causes thunder to sound within the clear sky. Flickering, flowing fire adorns its gaunt head, which itself is as dark as the abyss. A plume of shadow escapes the creature's crooked nostrils set within its roman nose.

Its gaunt head sits atop its ghostly and vantablack-colored body. Dark, smoking symbols cover its chest, perhaps a remnant of even stranger times. These events signaled the rise of a War Demon.

A scorpion-like tail twirls behind it, its movements reminiscent of that of a cat. Two silky bat wings extend fully from behind him. While the angel ready's itself so does the demon, it pulls the long halberd from its back and when I look at it I see the same symbols on its chest as I do on the weapon. The halberd is the color of ash and the symbols glow scarlet as if it has its own consciousness. The creature ready's itself against the angel, its two legs planted in the ground, ready to jump.

-----------------------------

"Stop!" Percival shouted.

Both creatures immediately undid their battle stance and slowly walked in front of Percival.

"War Demon Alpha greets master." said the demon.

"War Angel 1 greets master." said the angel.

So, my Latin was correct. Good to know, that means I can use it later for specific creatures.

"I will forget that you both wanted to fight when you were summoned considering your race. I have a question for you both."

"Yes, my lord" they both responded in unison.

"Do either of you have names"

"No, we do not have names my lord"

"Then I name you Zephon the War Angel and Azgauth the War Demon."

"We thank the lord," said both at the same time, in a very excited tone.

"Now then let's start making our dungeon, shall we," thought Percival, while a grin started to form on his face.
