I'm still thinking about what I want to call it. However, I know what I want my MC to be like. Although, I'm still trying to decide on whether or not I'll be writing a western or eastern fantasy (Fantasy or Martial Arts).

Most likely a human MC.

That exists???

NGL, I'm sweating bullets right now. I hope you guys will read my new novel once it's complete. Anyhow, thank you all for reading.

By the way, "totally" not bashing a certain ants choice in carapace mutations here... Haha...

Me: (Remembers how much I stay up late at night to read webnovels/manga/etc...) "Hahaha... I'm in danger..."

There will be a mass release of chapters in about 2 weeks, since that'll be the end of the school year when I graduate from high school.

Haha, I got that reference... (I don't know if the author did it on purpose, but in Korea, inviting people over to your house to eat ramen is the same as inviting people to your house to Netflix and chill in the U.S.A.) (P.S., I wasn't here. So if anyone asks, tell them I'm currently doing homework, and absolutely, definitely, 100% surely not reading a highly cultured story right now *cough, cough*...)

Imagine some sort of cartoon like super villain in this world has the idea to take over the third strata, and destroy all the pillars at the same time just to make the surface of the world collapse. There doesn't even need to be a good reason for it, just have someone from Earth with a cartoon villain like personality reincarnate, and do all sorts of stupid shenanigans...

After learning how to read the, uh... Highly complex body language of slimes. Reading the body language of other species becomes easy.

It's mentioned in chapter 3.

I... I don't know that! *VOOOOOOOOOOM*

I will just put this paragraph comment here to say, make sure to read my other paragraph comments this chapter. Because there's a certain thing I don't like in a story that has a non human MC, and without context, this chapter might be that thing I don't like, which was never my intention. So I'll announce now that my MC is a dungeon core, and will always be a dungeon core. Any other type of body he may use or possess is simply just another part of the dungeon, meaning that they're puppets that he can control all at the same time, and are not his main body whatsoever (He also feels the most comfortable as a dungeon core, and would never actively try to do something stupid like become human again and stuff). With all this in mind, enjoy the chapter.

Maybe, kind of, sort of might be foreshadowing and stuff...

Now I can't get the image of an adventurer walking through the swamp just for Shrek to rise up from under the water behind them and attack out of my head...

I shall now explain some things to prevent any misunderstandings. Firstly, I'll start off by saying that I don't like it when MC's revert to human form. That's why I'd like to clarify that this humonculus body is like a puppet, and isn't his main body. His dungeon core body is, and always will be, my MC's main body. Everything else he controls is like a puppet (Think of it like someone playing a video game and controlling a character, or like someone with a remote controlled toy car.). So even though the MC is making a human body, he could make all sorts of other types of bodies as well, and would still be able to control them all while simultaneously experiencing and feeling all of the sensory information being provided to him at the same time. For another example, think of a computer set up with multiple computer monitors. With the main monitor being his primary dungeon core vision, and all the other monitors being secondary body visions. He is in no way completely turning into a humanoid, and lore wise, the MC for a fact, does not see the humonculus body as his main body in any way. I've also clarified in the mindscape chapter that the MC feels unnatural when using a humanoid body now that he's become a dungeon core. I hope this clears things up, because I had no intention of having my MC be a humanoid, and the humonculus body is in a way, just another part of the dungeon. A small part of the greater whole that is the MC... Now, I will now proceed to binge all the new comments before returning back to metaphorically getting strangled by my homework...

I'll be putting a paragraph comment explaining some stuff, as it seems that there's some misunderstandings. I don't like monster MC's reverting to humanoid form either, so I'll be making sure to clarify some things so that there's no misunderstandings.

I understand the feeling, and I can explain. He didn't necessarily become the homunculus, think of it more as a puppet that he's manipulating instead of a new body. He could create multiple other bodies, and simultaneously control them at the same time if he wished (I personally don't like when the MC becomes humanoid either). Another way of looking at it is like this. Imagine that he's got the brain power to simultaneously control separate bodies of different types, and process all of the sensory information their experiencing all at the same time. Now, think of these outputs as secondary, while the primary vision/senses are still the dungeon core. Kind of like having multiple computer monitors at the same time, with the big monitor in the center being the primary dungeon core, while all other monitors are secondary body monitors. I'll also leave a paragraph comment on the humonculus part now explaining some things, as I hate monster MC's completely transforming to humanoid forms as well, and I don't want people like me to misunderstand what I was going for (Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it.).
