Chapter 34 - Aftermath of the goblin army (2)

After the ghost purchase the land outside of the dungeon, he took a look at the current dungeon layout since Auriel had gotten a few dungeon expansion tickets from the gacha.

The ghost started on the first floor by adding in a 50 meter x 100 meter of swamp at the entrance further extending the entire first floor. At the end location of the new extension that was linked to the current swamp, he switch about 30 meter x 30 meter into a water body, part of the new terrain turned into a marsh like area before sloping down into a pond.

Next, he worked on the fort, after selecting repair the iron gates of the portcullis, he expanded the fort main hall until it reached about 30 meter by 30 meter large which became similar to a courtyard, he then expanded the inner hallway to 30 meter by 30 meter as well. He also increase the ledges of the courtyard to about 5 meters high, on the outside of the ledges facing the courtyard he added small overhangs every 5 meters and place a weird statue on each of the overhang.

Once the ghost was done with the courtyard, he made an inner entrance hall of 10 meter by 10 meter and enlarge the previous wooden door to about 3 meters tall. Within the inner entrance hall he added 4 rooms which are 5 meters by 10 meters, two rooms on each side of the inner hall. The first 2 rooms on either side had a flight of stairs that goes upwards onto the ledges that surrounds the courtyard. While the other 2 rooms are just empty rooms.

Once he was done with the inner main hall, he created a new door that leads to the main hallway and removed all the previous rooms in the main hallway while extending the main hallway all the way to the end which leads to the second floor of the dungeon. After that he added another 2 meter wide side hallway in the middle making it a cross junction and he added another side hallway that is parallel to the middle one right at the entrance door that leads in from the inner main hall. Next, he added 4 doors, 2 on each side of the (7m x 14m) room that is in the middle of the 2 side hallways this allows access from both side hallways, he then repeated the same design for the room on the opposite side. Finally, he divide the remaining area to 4 (7m x 9m) rooms with their door facing the side hallway.

Once he was done with the rough layout, he begin decorating some of the rooms, In the main inner hall, he added in two torn tapestry at the side of the doors leading to the main hallway. On the ceiling of the inner entrance hall he added a chandelier which had blue flames when it is lit up. He added 2 chandeliers with the same color flames in each of the (7m x 14m) room and made one of room into a dinning hall by add a few wooden benches along side the long wooden tables and a broken fire place on the middle of a wall. He added ghost torches all along the side hallways and the extended main hallway.

(Total cost so far : 10500 DP (50 x 70) swamp + 9000 (30x30) water body + 1800 (20 x 30) swamp + 200 ~ Iron gates repairs + 704* ~ fort main hall expansion + 774** ~ inner halls + 25 ~ Chandelier)

* New fort main hall, 30 meters on each side = 30m by 30m - 14m by 14m = 900 sqm - 196 sqm = 704 sqm

** New inner hall, 30 meters on each side = 30m by 30m - 14m by 9m = 900 sqm - 126 sqm = 774 sqm

Immediately after he selected yes, a countdown timer appears.

Once the ghost was done with the first floor, he took a look at the second floor dungeon layout.

The ghost expanded the graveyard to a size of 50 meters by 50 meters, he then added a 30 meters by 30 meters cliff terrain next to the old 30 meters by 20 meters forest. The cliff starts from the edge of the old forest and is about 10 meters wide and it extends all the way until the dungeon wall, both side of the cliffs were set to forest. After that he connected these two area to a new 50 meters by 50 meters forest which connects to the stairs from the first floor.

After he was done with the layout, he begin the decorations by adding in weird statues all over the new forest and the graveyard. He added a stone bridge which was half broken in the middle of the cliff terrain with two weird statues guarding on the both end of the stone bridge. Along the stone bridge he added in some ghost torches that glow green in the hands of the weird statues. He added new mausoleums all around the graveyard which is just a small room with a coffin inside.

(Total cost so far : 25,000 DP (50 x 50) ~ forest + 9000 (30x30) ~ Cliff + 4200* ~ graveyard)

*Graveyard expansion, 50 meters on each side = 50m by 50m - 20m by 20m = 2500 sqm - 400 sqm = 2100 sqm

After he selected yes, a countdown timer appears.

Once he was done with the second floor, a suddenly idea strike him as the drop off from the cliff currently did not lead to anywhere. So he decided to create a fourth floor where he could add a boss mob which would attack and eat anything that survives or died from dropping off the cliff on the second floor. He added in a 50 meter by 50 meter of bog where half of the swamp is partially extended out to where the cliff drop off is located, while the other half have a flight of stairs that is linked downwards from the crypts. From the top of the cliff to the bottom where the bog lies the drop is about a 40 meters. Next he purchase a fog option for the 4th floor below.

For the decorations, he added in pillars of stones under the crypt area, with terrace steps of puddles of water near the flight of stairs that lead down from the crypts.

The ghost selected yes and a countdown timer appears.

"Yawn, boss whatcha doing?" Tempest came over after waking up, she asked the ghost after she saw that he was currently looking at the dungeon menu.

Hearing her words, the ghost looked over towards her and said, "Catch!" As he threw the mana ring that Auriel had gotten from the gacha at her.

After catching the ring, Tempest looks at it and asked him, "What's this?"

"It's a mana ring, just take it and use it." the ghost replied.

"Oh nice, thanks! By the way, what are you going to do with that floating girl over there?" Tempest pointed to a transparent floating girl who had her hair dangling in front of her face, while her hands were at her sides not moving.

"Hmm, I have no clue, I might let her roam the inner halls of the fort once that floor is ready." The ghost replied unenthusiastically.

"Are we going to name her?" Tempest asked.

"Not yet, let's see how she fares before we decide on whether to name her, could you bring her to the training ground and train her on how to use her skills." The ghost stopped Tempest before she could name the new spirit.

"Okay boss." After replying to the ghost, Tempest brought the vengeful spirit along with her to the training grounds.

At the corner of the ghost's eyes, he could see Auriel was hiding behind Fenrir looking at his direction, after the vengeful spirit left with Tempest, Auriel came over to the ghost.

"What's wrong?" The ghost rubbed Auriel's head while asking her.

"That scary lady." Auriel replied timidly.

"What wrong with the scary lady?" Seeing Auriel feeling scared, the ghost asked.

"She just float there, when I tried talking to her, she didn't reply, she just stared at me." Auriel started to tremble a little as she replied.

"I see, we might need to work on her communication, but she's a vengeful spirit though." Said the ghost, as he put his fingers on his chin and begin to think.

"Anyways, I'll assign her to the first floor's fort inner hall as a boss, once the dungeon layout have complete." The ghost explain what he was going to do to Auriel.

"Okay." As Auriel looks down and fidget.

"By the way, how's the new harness?" The ghost change the topic divert her attention.

"It's good, I don't feel like I would fall off anymore, and Fenrir can do the entire training course with me on it's back, it's so fun." Auriel smiles as she explained while waving her hands around.

"Great, if there is any problems with it tell me, okay?"The ghost smiled and patted Auriel.

"Okay." As Auriel smile in reply.
