The view was gorgeous. The flora was huge and colorful, plus they were almost too green.

  "Amazing, there must be a landline near us," Roxy said.

  She explained that leylines were the mana passages of the world. If a dungeon was placed Roxy looked around in awe. Her slime took the core and placed it on the ground. It slowly sunk deeper, like the ground was swallowing it.

  "I will be fine for now, I will start the base of my dungeon domain. Please come back later though, I enjoy your company" said Roxy.

  She sunk into the ground after her slime and core. I snuck into the underbrush, looking for some levels. I saw a burrow, about my size. If I went in there, I would probably be dragged deeper in. I headed away from the danger hole.

  I kept walking, and suddenly a flash of movement caught my eye.

  A small, black, crystalline spider about 6 inches wide, counting the legs, suddenly attached to my chest.

  Most creatures would probably just kill her for the experience. Only sentient or creatures with high intelligence would accept her request. It sounded good, another creature on my side. I accept your offer.

  She slowly molded into my skin, not unlike how Roxy molded into the ground. If I could have seen my core, It would now have a raised black mark in the shape of the spider.

  I instinctively pulled up the number of nanobeasts in my bloodstream, and there were already 2 spawned. I could lightly sense them moving around my bloodstream. I could feel them slowly rebuilding my cells, and making them stronger and closer-knit together.

  I came upon a few creatures, but they were just small rabbit-like creatures with a wickedly sharp horn on their head. When I killed one, the prompt called it a Basher. I met one called a Mana-Saturated Basher. It shot a blue bolt at me from its horn, and I learned a spell called Mana Bolt.

  I shot right back at it, and I crippled the poor beast. Then I bit it right in half. A small core with spiraling rines etched on the surface came into my view.

  The Spirit core seemed to be a diluted version of a Beast Core. The Basher was only level 20, so it must have gotten it's sore from the Mana-Saturation.

  I bet Roxy would like to have some of those cores, I should probably get back to her.
