Dungeon Novel 2: Chapter Four

“She sacrificed her levels,” Elvinia said dully in the silence after the explosion. “She quite literally burnt away all she had gained across the course of her life in one explosive conflagration.” The sadness in her tone was unmistakable.

“It is bad then?” Unbound asked his Dungeon fairy, hearing the sadness t...

Dungeon Novel 2: Chapter Three

The Undead marched into his Dungeon without hesitation. It was strange to see no Necromancers when the Undead were acting that intelligently and Unbound could see several Draugr and Bone abomination, Undead that would take the power of defenders equal to the third-floor boss to kill.

It was strange and dangerous, the lack of Necromancers a...

Dungeon Novel 2: Chapter Two

The Adventurers were few and had started mapping the Dungeon, the fact that they were raiding full time forced Unbound to finally link up loot drops to the defenders. It was one of the oldest methods available to Dungeon’s to entice Adventurers to venture further into the Dungeon where danger was more common.

The Purge Undead sigil that ...

Dungeon Novel 2: Chapter One

The lich stared out across his forces passively, the arrayed Undead a marvel to behold. It had not been out of it’s chambers for many years now since the heroes fought against it, testing and experimenting and researching.

It had come so close to finishing the kingdoms last time it had fought them, their armies vanquished, and their land...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Thirty-Five

The Warrior Deer were some of the strongest anti-Undead defenders within his Dungeon. If Unbound could set up rooms and tunnels designed to assist the deer with their charges, then the Undead would be mowed down by their assault.

The ability to charge in a straight line is extremely common, what the deer had as an advantage was the fact th...

Chapter Thirty-Four

It was just one thing after another without any break. The necromancers attacking immediately without giving Unbound time to work out the mysteries around the strange noble and the mindless slaves. With his irritation, he suddenly had a thought to kill all the necromancers.

As they funnelled into his Dungeon, he trapped them. Unbound did n...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Thirty-Three

In the small tunnels, the earth elemental wreaked havoc upon the invaders. It took one of the knights dying before one of the defenders before the fire mage could get a clear shot on the elemental and melt the stone body.

There were only six intruders remaining now and Unbound was relaxed in the fact that he was unlikely to be harmed at th...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Thirty-Two

It ruined one of the boss’s greatest weapons. The ability to strike without warning in the underground space combined with it’s immense physical might meant at least one member of the invading party tended to die upon their meeting with the Elemental Boss.

With fire revealing the cavern the boss’s position was going to be swiftly rev...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Thirty-One

Unbound was nervous. The forest theme, despite the river, would maximise the Fire mages effectiveness and he was hurriedly taking one of the explosive Undead to make a Boss of the fourth floor.

It was a large room with many, many small tunnels and side rooms threading through the Boss room. The explosive Undead was a large humanoid skeleto...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Thirty

It was very possible that nobody would die on the floor with the Ant’s nest either, that kind of firepower could just incinerate any ant that tried to attack from a tunnel. The close quarters, usually to the ant’s advantage, would be their own downfall.

Then Unbound had a thought, he subtly shifted the layout of the floor so that the i...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-Nine

However, even as the necromancers descended to the fourth floor another group entered Unbound’s Dungeon. It was a group of knights, not from the church nor Undead, but normal human knights that surrounded three people.

Two of the three people had robes and a pointed hat, one was bright red and the other featured black and white swirls in...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty Eight

Unbound didn’t know what to do with that knowledge, it would be unlikely for Beda to care with her own personality but the other three, who were currently in their own rooms, would likely wish to warn the kingdoms.

Unbound would probably try to warn them as well if he were still a lumberjack, but now as a Dungeon core, he did not care as...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-Seven

The Ant’s nest was a nightmare for Undead, with heavy mandibles and powerful jaws the ants were able to easily rip skeletons into their separate pieces. The tight corners didn’t allow Undead to press their own advantageous numbers as it forced them to go in two at a time. The skill, Material reinforcement, meant that they could not even brea...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-Six

Unbound purchased several different things with his shop points. He bought the patterns for wolves and boars for more diversity in any natural-based floors and two water-based predatory animals to strengthen any aquatic defenses.

He also bought another trap, a set of barbed fishhooks handing from near-invisible wires from the ceiling. It w...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-Five

Both Unbound and Elvinia were overjoyed, the only sigil he currently had, Purge Undead was extremely powerful. The more mana he had to push into the sigil the stronger it got and as a Dungeon Unbound had vast amounts of mana, far more than any sentient race could hope to wield.

He said to Elvinia to speak to the guests to see how much the ...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-Four

The several necromancers were milling around the entrance for several moments, loitering around the entrance as three amongst their number analyzed the structure around the entrance and the glowing portal.

However, despite seeing the army of Undead and their necromantic controllers, Unbound was confident there was none of the higher tier U...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-Three

Eventually Unbound finished the floor, he changed his wants to form different, unique, and self-sustaining floors and had instead built a death trap for Undead. Long, twisting tunnels barely wide enough for two skeletons to walk side by side.

It featured several traps filled to the teeth with Purge Undead enchantment sigils. The rooms had ...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-Two

The information played havoc with Unbound’s own mind for a moment despite o longer being human and losing any emotional attachment to his human memories he did remember bleeding out across the floor of the forest as his soul was torn from his body.

He also remembered being barely conscious within the gem as he was carried about here and ...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty-One

“Unbound are you okay?” He heard Elvinia asking. “It is a tier two pattern, I should have warned you I am sorry.” Unbound’s mind throbbed with pain the spikey Undead had taken up large amounts of room within his knowledge banks.

“Tier two?” He managed to ask, even as the battle between the Undead, Necromancer, and Boss raged....

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twenty

With nine of twelve skeletons and the two other Undead still with her, the necromancer walked deeper into the dungeon. Now upon the final floor and walking into the forest floor Unbound wished to strip her of her remaining defenders before hearing out any requests. Plus, this way he could see how the third-floor boss performs.

The third-fl...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Nineteen

The necromancer had a small party of Undead with them, several of the Weakest Heroic Skeleton, two Bone Plated Undead: Bear variant, and two new humanoid undead covered in massive bone spikes.

They didn’t enter the Dungeon for a moment and the necromancer simply stood outside and stared at the entrance. The person seemed to be examining ...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Eighteen

Unbound was shocked for a moment, whilst he understood that the Churches party would have spoken about him and they had found out about his existence else wise, he didn’t believe so many people would know.

And the bandits finding out clearly said that the Church was not discreet about who they told but Unbound did not like people knowing...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Seventeen

“Yes, what is it for, you suggested it?” Unbound asked suspiciously.

“It is to make a contract between you and someone else,” Elvinia said.

“Why?”

“BecauseDungeonsareknowntogoinsaneanddestroyeverythingwithoutenoughcompany.” She spat out in a blur.

“Are you able to repeat that and slower?” Unbound queri...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Sixteen

A lot of bandits died within the ant’s tunnels, unable to go back they had to continue as more and more of them died. The larger ants blocked them and allowed the other smaller ants to sneak past and kill the trapped individuals. Their numbers, having been advantage in the first level, worked against them with the tight quarters and noise that...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Fifteen

The bandits walked through the dungeon first rooms laughing raucously together. They killed any of the spiders and wildcats they came across and Unbound focused to hear their conversation.

“Apparently Gerry heard that the church detected a new dungeon here and after checking it determined its very weak and not an undead type.” One of t...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Fourteen

“I can create another floor now.” Unbound said simply to his void fairy.

“You can.” She replied, with an eerie calmness.

“Lat time I scared you, how would I stop that?” Unbound asked plaintively. He did not enjoy scaring her, he could feel the bond between the two. The bond was strong enough that death might not sever it ...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Thirteen

Ignoring general floor layout at the moment, Unbound pulled all possible defenders capable of hurting the undead into the second floor. He lined the traps with Purge Undead enchantments before they reached the third room.

He placed the large armada of beings the other side of the river in the second floor, Large Hunting spiders and all the...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Twelve

The cloaked figure with magic walked into the open forest floor, its two guards following on by its sides. The newest undead invasion slowly moved into the floor killing every small creature that ventured into their path, the void elemental remained unnoticed behind them.

Unbound was curious, the undead here was very different to the invas...

Dungeon Novel: Chapter Ten

He could feel his mana pulse in anticipation as he waited for Elvinia to explain the next floor making progress.

“Now you know that you had to fill this space with your own creations, yes?” She asked and Unbound pulsed out acknowledgement. “Well, it is similar to how you made the portal to the outside but for you, as the Void Dungeon...
