* The summoner has placed a restriction: Dungeon Cultivator must be able to lift all items stored in the dungeon space with one arm
Matias absorbed the core and felt as all the essence was directed into the dungeon. He will not be able to increase his cultivation outside the dungeon until he can get the Essence Absorption upgrade. First 100 and then 200 essence he directed into ranking up the dungeon.
* Congratulations! Your dungeon is now Rank F-2
* 2 free level upgrades available - cannot be used to unlock new features
The other 400 essence he directed towards 2 new upgrades.
* New Upgrades Selected: Bedroom, Bathroom
* Level Upgrades: Essence Density -> Level 2, Rate of Healing -> level 2
He then unloaded all the rock in what he hoped would form a barrier to keep away predators when he returned, he stored the corpse of the bunny and then sat down and focused on entering the dungeon within his soul.
After making the decisions on which upgrades he wanted, he was shocked by the changes wrought within his dungeon. For starters he did not appear within a dreary room, but instead stood on a patch of grass under a grey starry sky. There was no discernible light source and yet everything was well lit. In front of him stood a one story home made of high quality lumber. It was not glamorous but it is a significant upgrade from the grey room.
The essence was also noticeably more prevalent with a density that could support cultivation to the F-4 level. Matias happily walked along the short dirt path to the front door of the house. Upon entering there was a simple hallway with three doors. The rightmost door led to the same grey room he originally entered which is used as the storage room. The second door led to a medium sized bathroom of about 40 square feet that had a toilet, sink, and shower as well as hot and cold running water. The final door led to a bedroom with a simple four post bed frame made of a dark wood topped with a thick mattress. While not the most luxurious, these amenities were far better than those provided by the Holcrom family.
Matias immediately hopped in the hot shower and scrubbed off of the blood and dirt from climbing around the forest naked, and then hopped into the bed after he was done showering. Sighing in contentment he passed out for some of the best sleep he can recall having. Knowing that he was safe from monsters, both the human and the beast variants, he could sleep without worrying about what he will wake up to.
Upon waking he decided to make a list of everything he needs to do before the next time he will leave the dungeon:
- Cultivate to F-4
- Open Second Meridian
- Make some sort of clothes
- Create a makeshift weapon
