I watch my manufacturers tinkering with the stone, wood, and plants that were gathered outside. And, whilst doing so, they have learned how to make planks from the wood and are now experimenting with making handles with the planks, I assume, for better grip or something of the like. They have also made weapon parts out of planks, but they would not be fatal in battle, and so they instead make handles. They have made tools using the planks; as they will not be for fighting, it does not matter as long as the tool works and is durable. It is fine for now, and they have even begun building structures with the planks. So far, they have made floors, walls, pillars, and are in the process of constructing a door, or at least it looks like a door.
I have named them Larsik (the Woodworker), Dubilus (the Builder), and Ristur (the Stone-Smith). Anyways, now that that has been cleared up, I decide that I need to get rid of the Lizard-Kin Failures. As I have just left them alone to wander the dungeon, but they are rather unappealing to look at, even for me, and besides, they do not contribute much to the dungeon. So, I decide to order them, "Go outside the cave and go straight until you see a wall, and attack anything past that," I order. It will be useful to see what they will kill, if anything, and that wall is bothering me. Even now, not knowing what is hiding behind it. Hopefully, these failures can give me some insight into it by killing, and then I may see what it is via the system notifications.
The failures all go outside one after the other as they were not close together but spread out through the dungeon. They leave my vision, and I direct my attention back to the Lizard-Kin. As I do also need a Boss for this floor, but I don't want it to be a mage. Just a more powerful and skilled Lizard-Kin, so I can keep it to look relatively the same but with red scales instead of green this time. And unlike the first floor boss, I will not give him a core, but just intellect and let him grow his skills using it. So I begin. I make this one the same as the other Lizard-Kin but just change the colour of its skin to red, which was difficult at first, but it was like paint. I just had to mix the right colours, and it has red skin now. And now I need to give it a brain, and since the Lizard-Kin were made from Gobwolves as a reference, the brain so I just put a brain that is similar to Vexa's in there. As I did not change their skeletal structure too much, all I did was make it taller and have a tail, so it should not interfere too much. I put the brain there, and it worked first time. I breathe a sigh of relief, or at least I breathe a sigh of relief mentally, as I cannot breathe anymore nor do I need to do so anyways.

Looks like my Failures have killed a few Humans, and now I know what that wall is; it is a wall of a village, judging by how it says "Village" on the title of the Humans that were killed, as the system is telling me. At least, I will have a constant flow of EXP because if there is a village, there may be a Guild. Though I am still curious why the first human that entered my Dungeon was wearing modern clothes, and nobody else has since worn any. But I still don't know why, and it is bothering me. But I can assume that there are kingdoms considering "Village" is a title that was commonly referred to a smaller version of a city, I think, but "village" was used more commonly in medieval times, so "kingdom"...
Anyways, I need to do something. I wish I had a physical body that could move and see without mana that I can use to explore. But it is not like I would even know where to begin with that, or if it is even possible in the first place. Or my second option is to grow so much that I can see the entire world. But nonetheless, both are impossible currently or would take an extremely long time. At the very least, I would say a minimum of 100,000 years, not to mention all the killing I would have to do for that, considering I get EXP from killing.
I decide to stop looking too far into the future and just focus on the present, as I have been too distracted and not even noticed that humans have entered my cave again. And they are most likely from a guild or something. But when I see them, they are exactly like the first adventurer; they are wearing modern clothes, for goodness sake. One of them is even wearing sunglasses. I don't even know how he will be able to see as my cave has no source of light except from the entrance where they have come from. The guy is also wearing a black suit along with black trousers with a white shirt with a dark red tie. The rest are wearing the same; well, at least the rest appear to not have glasses on and instead have black ties. There's 1 blond female and 3 males with dark hair, and the one with glasses has a scar across one eye covered by the sunglasses and has red hair. A total of 5 people. The one with glasses seems to be superior to the rest of the party as he is at the front, and the girl is behind him, and another man with the other 2 on each side, like they are protecting her.
They continue getting past my traps like they don't even exist. And when I see this, I quickly realize they are powerful, very powerful. So much so that I am confident that a single one of them could defeat all the minions on the first floor with ease. But I am unsure about the second as they have not been in battle before. And as I suspected, they wipe the floor with all the Gobwolves quite literally, well, except for Vexa, who did stand her ground and stopped them for quite a while. Summoning earth spikes from the ground, she even made what looked like a stone Golem but not a real one as it cannot move at all. It is just earth being controlled by mana. And when I read about golems, they are creatures created by magic or mana using various materials and don't need a constant supply of mana and have intellect, but very basic. So all Vexa did was control earth to look like a golem and moved it around like one, or at least what I think they would move and fight like.
Anyways, back to the fight, Vexa had continued to fight constantly, and it appeared as if they were at a standstill until Vexa ran out of mana, at which point, they had lost. And they had stabbed her directly through the stomach and left, probably to let her die slowly. But I did not let that happen. As when the group of people reached the second floor, I healed her, and in an instant, she was back to normal but unconscious. She had lost consciousness shortly after being stabbed, so she was there on the ground, and I had to quickly direct my attention back at the Adventurers? No, they feel different, and it does not suit them. Maybe "Businessmen" would suit them more appropriately, considering how they are acting and dressed. Anyways, they have encountered the first Group of Lizard-Kin.
This causes the small group of 3 Lizard-Kin to get into formation, which I did not expect. But 2 of the Lizard-Kin have a spear and shield, and 1 with a bow. The melee wielders stand in front, shielding the archer who shoots off 1 arrow, landing in the knee of the person standing to the left of the Blond female, who then falls over, gripping his leg out in pain. I can assume that he is out of the fight, considering he fell over and is just rolling around. And before the archer can shoot off another arrow, the rest charge in and attack the melee wielders who lift up their shields. One thing I forgot to mention, they have tall shields, which are just shields but heavier and can usually take a much more brutal beating. But the 1 drawback is that it is heavy, thus slow to move. The Lizard-Kin stab their spears directly at 2 of the Humans' faces, which were dodged fairly easily and quickly. And after they missed, the humans took their chance and killed them quickly before they can hide behind their shields. The archer fell shortly after that.
