Dungeon Time!!!

Bruce is looking at the night sky, observing the stars and their movements. Trying to come up with some sort of idea on how this world works...

(Bruce) 'This isn't normal system...'

(System) 'I don't understand what your saying?'

(Bruce) 'The stars, their not normal. Well this world isn't normal to begin but still'

(System) 'This world is very much different from your old world, so it might take some time for you to get used to this one'

(Bruce) 'Well that's for sure! Seriously, its going to take me a lifetime to figure things out... And since this is a fantasy world... God knows what the periodic table looks like...'

(System) 'Do you want to know what it looks like?'

(Bruce) 'Not now... I don't think I'm mentally prepared to handle all of the BS I may find inside of it just yet...'

(System) 'As you wish'

(Bruce) 'Anyways, like I was saying, the stars are messed up...'

(System) 'How so?'

(Bruce) 'Well for starters I can see them ACTUALLY MOVING across the sky!!!'

(System) 'Is it that strange?'

(Bruce) 'YES, how is it not strange, stars aren't suppose to move around like that, its not normal. Some of them are moving fast, while others haven't even moved an inch, they're moving in a way similar to the moon. And speaking of moons, THERE'S THREE OF THEM... Wait, never mind, make it four, I can see another one rising up in the distance...'

(System) 'Well, technically there's a lot more, those 4 are in the sky right now are just the tip of the iceberg, and in this world its not strange for the stars to orbit around the planet either'

(Bruce) 'How does that even work...'

(System) 'Probably due to the planet being star sized itself'

(Bruce) '...'

(Bruce) 'You know I'm just going to stop questioning the physics of this world for now and focus on literally anything else. I know, lets start counting the stars in the sky, lets see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 20, 68, 173~eeee OK, System, elaborate'

(System) 'Well seeing as you are no longer limited to the squishy useless blob known as a brain anymore, your mental strength has increased immensely, and as your dungeon rank goes up it will continue to increase'

(Bruce) 'Well that's neat... And as a former human I take slight offense to you calling our brains a useless blob...'

(System) 'Am I wrong?'

(Bruce) 'Its a madder of comparison really! As Einstein once said... Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. End quote... Wait, I wonder if Einstein reincarnated when he died, meh, questions for later...'

(God) '...'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in another fantasy world...

(Random Servant) "Lord Einstein!!! The Demon Lord has broken through the front lines!!! What will we do"

(Lord Einstein) "Have no fear, my science magic of relativity will defeat him. Demons may look down on humanity as lesser beings, but as I once said... Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid... SO HAVE AT THEE DEMON LORD"

(Random Servant) "You are so wise my lord!!!"

Einstein then proceeds to take off in the demon lords direction at a ridiculous speed, he then proceeds to engage the demon lord in the most epic battle ever seen....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Bruce) 'Meh, questions for later...'

The sun can be seen rising in the distance

(Bruce) 'Oh, morning already. System, whats my divine protection at?'

(System) 'Still at seven days, however in an hour or two it will be down to six'

(Bruce) 'Alrighty then, its time to get down to business, also system, notify me every time I lose a day on my divine protection'

(System) 'Acknowledged'

(Bruce) 'Thank you... Now...'

Bruce looks down at the black ocean void below him

(Bruce) '...'

(Bruce) 'I know what my dungeon should look like, but I have no idea how I'll get started on it'

While Bruce thinks about how he'll make his dungeon, a little speck can be seen in the distance, it proceeds to get larger until a tiny island is revealed. Well, actually, its not much of an island, and more of a big lump of sand and rock...

(Bruce) 'YES! cmon! lemme have it please!!! It may be small, but that's FINE with me... I just want all the floating and bobbing to stop...'

Bruce is almost there when the ocean current changes and he drifts past the small piece of land

(Bruce) 'NUUU!!! please take me back ocean... Its not like I dislike you or anything, but all I want to do is settle down somewhere where I won't be bobbing, floating, and flung around like your plaything...'

All of a sudden a giant wave can be seen approaching from the distance

(Bruce) 'I... please be gentle'

Bruce is picked up by the wave and tossed around at its mercy, and by the time it stops, Bruce's head is spinning... Or orb I guess...

(Bruce) 'Whyyyyy... Why must I suffer more ocean, why are you so mean... Wait, I'm not bobbing around anymore, I'M ON DRY LAND, I'm sorry ocean, I owe you an apology..... Even though you could have been a little more gentle about it...'

(Bruce) 'Anyways its DUNGEON time'

(Bruce) 'System, bring up my DP and what I can spend it on at the moment?'

DP: 110/infinite

Dungeon Editor - Expand dungeon based on what material you want to make it out of, what you want to make in it, and how large or compact it will be

(Bruce) 'Oh, my DP went up, well, ten points isn't all that good... By the time my divine protection wears off I'll only have about 170 DP... Hey system, can I increase how much will it cost to increase my DP production right now?'

(System) 'Right now your personal DP production is 10 DP per day, you can spend 100 DP to make it 20'

(Bruce) 'Oh, that's cool, so I'm also going to guess that after I upgrade the production to 20, it will cost even more DP to increase it any further...'

(System) 'That would be correct'

(Bruce) 'I knew it wouldn't be that easy... Anyways if I upgrade now I'll be left with 10 DP, and I'll be left with 130 DP by the time my divine protection ends. It won't be good early on, but in the long run it will be worth it...'

(Bruce) 'System! Upgrade my DP production!'

(System) 'Upgrading DP Production'

DP: 110/infinite ---> 10/infinite

A strange sensation fills Bruce's core, as he feels the energy drain away from him, but by the time it's finished he feels slightly better

(Bruce) 'Yesh, now my DP shall generate twice as fast, HAHA!!! I can't wait for the day where I'll be generating thousands of DP every day, controlling massive beasts and creatures in a epic battle against the foolish adventurers who would dare to challenge me. Yes, yes, I can see it now'

(Bruce) 'If I can manage to not get destroyed by then... Who knows how many ways I can screw up and die now. I mean seriously, the moment my divine protection ends what will happen'

(Bruce) 'No no Bruce, focus, I need to actually start the dungeon first before I can even think about fighting any epic battles'

(Bruce) 'System, can I expand this island as part of my dungeon?'

(System) 'Yes, while you'd have to claim the island as part of your dungeon first in order to expand it, you have more than enough DP to do it. Seeing as this is more of a large sand hill, not an island...'

(Bruce) 'How much DP will it cost to claim then?'

(System) 'It will cost 5 DP to claim'

(Bruce) 'Okay then, claim away system'

The small sand island flashes with greenish blueish light for a split second and then system speaks

(System) 'Island claim completed'

(Bruce) 'hmm...'

(Bruce) 'I feel strange'

(System) 'How so?'

(Bruce) 'I can feel and sense the island now as if it where part of me now, its weird'

(System) 'That would be your dungeon clairvoyance and dungeon control skills, this small sand island is part of you now, so it is only natural that you can sense and feel it'

(Bruce) 'I guess that makes some sense, now how about I expand the island now, its about 20 meters in size now, so I'd like to know if I can expand it with the 5 DP I have left?'

(System) 'Well the cost depends on many different factors, but if you just want to expand the island based on what it's made up of now, I'd say you could expand it with your 5 remaining DP'

(Bruce) 'Alright then system, lets do it'

(System) '...'

(System) 'Acknowledged'

There's another flash of light, but this time, there's now more sand where the flash happened

(Bruce) 'hmm...'

Bruce measures out how much the island has expanded

(Bruce) 'I'd say the island has expanded by another 5 or 10 meters, hey system, can you tell me how large the island is now?'

(System) 'The island is now 30 meters long, and as the island continues to increase in size, it will require more DP to expand upon it'

(Bruce) 'Well, that much makes sense. At least I know I'll be able to expand my island a bit more before my divine protection runs out'

(System) 'Affirmative'

(Sailor #1) "I can't believe we got away"

(Sailor #2) "I didn't think so either, its sad how we had lost some of our ships in the process however..."

(Sailor #1) "Yeah, it is sad... Damn, one of my best friends was on one of those ships. He's rather been killed or... Aaargh, I don't even want to think about it..."

(Captain Jem) "Don't worry about it, I know its sad, but its a miracle that most of us made it out of that Hellscape of a country in the first place. It may be sad now, but look at he bright side. Now that we've escaped, we can settle down on some random island or continent somewhere and start a new, and better future together"

(Sailor #2) "I guess your right, it is a blessing that we had only lost two of our ships, I still have to wonder though, why did they stop chasing us after we sailed far enough away from the mainland?"

(Captian Jem) "That's because they're a bunch of sissy's to scared to chase us out into the deep waters. If they're to scared to go out this far into the ocean, then they shouldn't even be out here in the first place if they can't even handle a little water. Maybe the reason that all those soldiers are so pissed off all the time is because they haven't taken a bath for years out of the fear they'd drown HaHaHaHaHa"

As Captain Jem laughs the other two sailors join him, but after a couple of seconds the sailors stop laughing, and instead silently stare outside the window in horror while Captain Jem continues laughing

(Captain Jem) "What is it, you two seem like you've seen a ghost, what're you even starrin a~..."

Captain Jem looks outside the window and see's one of the neighboring ships being slowly pulled under the water by a bunch of massive tentacles, while the smaller ship next to it is being assaulted by several smaller squid like creatures

(Captain Jem) "You know, I'm starting to see why they didn't follow us this far into the ocean"

He then proceeds to draw his sword and bellow out to the rest of the crew

(Captain Jem) "ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS, HURRY AND GET TO YOUR POSTS NOW, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME"

(Captain Jem) 'May the gods save us all...'

(Bruce) 'I wonder if I can eat and taste food as a dungeon core.....'

(1) Sorry for the late chapter, I'm most likely not going to be able to post 3 chapters a week until schools over, so I'm going to try and stick to 2 or 1 chapters a week (Preferably 2 if I can), but even with that I'm still just writing this story for fun, and there will never be any true deadlines

(2) Its schools fault I can't write as much as I want to ;-; (that and the fact I've been too busy reading other web novels or watching anime...)
