18. Giving rise to my creation!

"The Void Crystal gathers mana from the river flowing through here," said the Soul. "Can you feel it?"

"Yeah," I said as I gripped the Crystal.

The Vein of Magic flowed through this room. I could sense it in both directions, flowing upstream and down. It was raw power. I was tapping into it, diverting some of it into the crystal. It was recharging from the mana I had expended. It took more energy to create than to sustain. I felt the magic flowing out of the Crystal into Lana, the dungeon, and even into myself. It went right into that Glyph on my chest.

"The more Veins that flow through your dungeon, the more rivers of magic you tap into, the more power you'll have. Once your dungeon intersects one, it will form a channel to draw the magic right to the Void Crystal."

"Got it," I said, gripping it. Lana was back in the bedroom, dripping with my cum. "And how do I find them?"

"It's a matter of luck," she said, shrugging. "They flow through this world everywhere. They are its lifeblood. The bigger your dungeon is, the more likely it is you'll find it."

"Expand. Progress. Makes sense."

"The more Glyphs you have, the more capacity you have, too," continued the Soul. "But the more Veins you have, the greater your power. The stronger the monsters you can build. The more levels of spells you'll have access to."

"Spells?"

"Right now, you know lightning magic. You draw upon the power of Lord Enlil and Lady Uttu."

"Who?" I asked, my brow furrowing.

"The Lord and Lady of Lightning. They are two of the Twenty-Four, the gods of this world."

I nodded. "Right, of course, there would be gods. Not a fantasy world without those."

"Now, we need to expand your dungeon," said the Soul. "You have to have an exit so you can get out to the village and buy food. As you grow more powerful, you can create farms as part of your domain. Underground, of course, but harvesting food and sustaining livestock, that your servants will attend to. Until then, you'll have to buy it from local villages. But that's dangerous."

"Because they think I'm evil."

The Soul looked down. "Most Dungeon Builders are not... good people. Power corrupts, Leo."

"Not me," I said. I wasn't a bad guy.

"We'll see." She fluttered. "For now, let's build a simple dungeon to get you out and a few guardians to defend it. You can make Will O' Wisps since you have the Lightning Glyph. They're basic lightning elemental monster girls. If you think about creating defenders, they should be the only ones you have access to."

I closed my eyes and entered the Crystal's menu. I opened it up and it had a lot of grayed out options. No Fire or Water. No Life or Death. Just Lightning was allowed. I selected it and saw the image of the monster girl forming in my mind.

She looked hot.

A sexy creature made of blue plasma. Almost like flame, but it had an incandescence that was different. She had curves. Large breasts and shapely hips, her legs long. Her hair was white and crackling with electricity. She stood in a pose, looking at once dangerous and sexy. Her eyes fixed on me, glowing like a lightning bolt captured in a sphere, forever arcing.

"Now bring her to life," said the Soul in my mind. "Give her existence. Name her."

A name arose in my mind. It seemed to come from the monster girl I stared at. Like she always had a name but just needed someone to realize it and speak it to bring her into existence.

"Sviesos," I said, speaking her name with perfect intonation.

Power rushed across me. I opened my eyes to see the darkness swirling on the other side of the Void Crystal. Then Sviesos appeared, her body shedding blue light. Her flesh rippled like dancing plasma in the shape of a gorgeous woman. She stretched her arms above her head, her fingers flexing. Her large breasts swayed.

"Lord Leo," she moaned and moved around the crystal. She ducked beneath my extended arms, my hands still gripping the gem. Then she fell to her knees. "It's so wonderful to exist. I'm going to serve you and protect you with everything I got!"

"Peppy," I said then gasped as she sucked my dick into her warm mouth.

It was different from Lana Fulmine's. This mouth rippled about my cock. She felt ephemeral and solid all at the same time. I groaned as the Soul fluttered around me. She had a big grin on her face, her eyes bright.

"Make another one," she commanded.

I focused on the Will O' Wisp and another name drifted up out of my soul. A potential being who waited for my Imagination and my Word to give her shape and life. "Zaibas."

Darkness swirled her into existence on the other side of the gem. Her large breasts heaved. They rippled with her blue plasma. Her eyes glowed. She shuddered and wiggled her hips. Then she sauntered around.

"Thank you, Lord Leo," she purred, her voice throaty.
