"Slimes, goblins—classic RPG monsters," Lilith muses, seeing such familiar options.

"A deceiving treasure ring... and a tentacle trap?! Wait what's with that 95% discount?! I cant let this pass by!"

"Well, my choice is evident now!" With her remaining Dungeon Points, Lilith acquires the tentacle trap.

As Lilith bought the tentacle trap, a mini holographic version of it appears infront of her.

"How do I..." Lilith extended her hand to the hologram to examine it, however as she do so the hologram moves away.

"Wha--" Shocked, Lilith retract her hands, only for the hologram to comes back.

"It follow my hand direction?" Lilith said to herself before swinging her arm back and forth.

As she had guess, the hologram followed her hand movements and also moves back and forth.

"Great!! but where should I place it?" Lilith wonders, she open the screen panel again and decided to look at the map.

The map of the entire dungeon show up on the panel, it was a relatively small dungeon divided into three section, The main room where the dungeon core was in, The middle room that was dark and narrow and finally the entrance.

"The tentacle trap was describe as a trap for immobilizing... which mean it couldn't actually kill any intruders..."

"does this mean I have to finish them myself?!" Lilith said, excitement was all over her face but she failed to notice it.

"If that is so then.... putting them near the entrance isn't good for me... maybe I should place it right at the main room door?"

There was a large door that seperated the main room from the middle room, if the intruders found the main room without encountering any traps and monster then they will surely let their guard down right?

Once their guard was down then bam! Tentacle trap! and then she will appear and finish them off using....

"....I dont have any weapons!!" Lilith's voice echoes on the dungeon as she come into a realization.

"Should I punch them to death then?"

"No, wait, There's no use wondering about that right now! I should place the trap first, intruders might come here any moment now" Lilith immediately ran towards the door and opens it, and just right infront of it, she put the trap down.

The mini hologram suddenly expanded and change the ground below Lilith, A hole suddenly appeared and then tentacles grow from it, they were all long and thick purplish tentacles.

The tentacles were all squirming around, Lilith who's nearby watched the scene with all of her focus not realizing that one of the tentacles were slowly extending towards her feet.

Within a few seconds the tentacle managed to wrapped itself around her left foot without being noticed.

"Ahh?" Lilith suddenly got goosebump as she felt sometying slimy on her leg, she look down but before she could even react, it immediately tries to pull her.

"Kyaa!!"
