Chapter 68 - 68- Bug (2)

Name:Dungeon Of Pride, Laplace Author:
Simon chose to plant all the seeds of the Trees of Manas on the floor where the dungeon core was located and decided to call the place the main floor. Since it was the place of most importance and also the place where he stayed and operated from.

He started by greatly expanding the area of the main floor and increased the height of the ceiling by a few hundred meters. Now the main floor was three kilometres wide and the ceiling was more than three hundred meters tall while big phosphorescence crystals dotted the ceiling, illuminating the whole floor.

Simon wondered if there would be any options unlocking in the future that allowed him to simulate the vast sky in place of this dark ceiling. Snapping out of his thoughts, he continued upgrading the main floor of his dungeon.

All these changes cost Simon a little more than 2,000,000 DP. Though the main floor looked empty, he could renovate it in his leisure time.

Next, he decided to buy the palace listed for around 35,000,000 DP in the shop. The reason for the palace being so pricey was because it nourishes the dungeon core and works as its final defence line. You can call it a fortification of some sort.

Although there were various other options available in the shop that fortified and guarded the dungeon core, Simon decided to buy the palace as it had few other practical uses other than what was mentioned.

[Ding]

A white light so bright that it illuminated the entire place came from the centre of the floor, a silhouette of a beautiful palace came into view after the light settled down.

The palace was more than seven hundred meters wide and sat at the centre of the room. Its exterior and walls were completely white and were made of a rare stone. The grandeur of the palace was something to marvel at. Maybe it was his imagination but the palace he bought from the dungeon menu's [Shop] was exactly what he had in mind.

Before purchasing the palace, Simon had a faint outline, shape, and colour in his mind. Perhaps the palace was influenced by his vision and imagination and appeared exactly as he wanted it to be.

The main floor which was previously empty and only had the dungeon core and some of the collectables he got from the [Gacha], now had an impressive white palace sitting at the centre of the floor.

Similar to the floors of the dungeon, since the white palace was also part of the dungeon, it could be modified and expanded whenever Simon wanted.

That is to say that if Simon wanted to add more rooms or change the position of the palace somewhere else, he could do it through the dungeon menu. Once the palace was installed, it was now time to check it out.

Yes, other than acting as the fortification for the dungeon core, the palace also worked as a housing system. Now that the main floor was expanded by quite a bit, it would be weird if he slept and ate out.

Entering the palace, Simon was greeted by a wide hall. Paintings and plants decorated the place. Sofa sets, glass tables, and a grand chandelier were placed at the centre of the hall bringing a unique kind of magnificence to the room.

Looking around, Simon soon found out that the palace had more than three halls, thirty rooms and two floors. All the decoration and interior designs that were on the palace were all influenced by things that Simon had seen in his previous life and which could only be found on earth.

For example one of the three halls had a big aquarium inspired by the memories from his time on earth. A huge kitchen with all the latest instruments, a big dining hall adjacent to it.

The library had bookshelves filled with books that he had read on earth and books that he had not even heard of. A wine cellar filled with liquors that could only be found on earth, a wide game room with billiard tables, and a bowling alley.

An indoor pool and huge bathtub that could easily accommodate few dozen people at once were some of the things that were influenced by what Simon experienced in his previous life.

It would be too much to say coincidence. However, it seemed that the palace purchased from the shop would borrow the ideal shape and memories from the buyer to create the palace of their desire.

Simon placed the Dungeon Core inside the facility of the palace that was specially built for fortifying and nourishing the dungeon. The area where the dungeon core was placed was wide and a multi-layered intrinsic array that spun in an anticlockwise manner surrounded it.

It seemed that as soon as he placed the dungeon core, the mechanism was activated. Another thing of note was that the mechanism consumed DP to operate. Simon knew it because as soon as he placed the core, 100,000 DP was deducted from the total amount of DP he had.

"It seems that everything inside the palace can be replenished with the help of DP" Simon observed.

He placed all of the collectables also known as joke items that he got from the [Gacha] in one of the rooms before finding a wide bed to laze on.

Now that he had started focusing on developing his dungeon, Simon had few other things he wanted to sort out before that. First was the insane jump of level. He was only level 212 when he fought with Gelgar, but after he lost his consciousness and woke up to check his status, he found out that his level had gone up from level 212 -> 262 in one go.

Even if he defeated Gelgar and his two subordinates, the level jump shouldn't be this insane. This is to say that there was another reason behind his level jump.

Looking at all the notifications, none of them detailed anything about his increase in level. Thinking about it carefully, Simon arrived at the answer that he thought was the most probable and that was the increase in his dungeon rank.

The dungeon core was once a part of him, then wouldn't it mean an increase in the rank of the dungeon would mean an increase in his level too, and vice-versa.
