Chapter 263 Creating the Outer Wall and Swapping the Floors
Moving on to the next perk to tackle, we had the 5th perk, which was something that allows the master to move the dungeon gate. I was curious about this one, so I immediately gave it a try.
Upon selecting the perk, a rounded figure with another smaller black circle and a yellow dot at the center was then displayed on the screen. The circle was actually the topographic illustration of the Surface Floor, the smaller circle was the Inner Wall, and the yellow dot was, of course, the dungeon gate.
I did not really have a reason to move the dungeon as of now since it was a few kilometers away from the settlements. Or maybe I did not really want to. That being said, I deliberately exited the page and moved on to the next perk.
The sixth perk was, just like the third one, a feature to upsize the dungeon, but with more floors. If the third perk added a floor, this one got two.
Since I had done this before, doing it again would not surprise my mothers and Big Sis anymore. After a very short, weak rumbling, another two floors had been added to the dungeon, making it one hundred four floors in total.
There were now four extra floors in the dungeon. For their purposes, I thought that it would be nice to put the mansion on the 60th floor and on the bottom floor. The surplus would be places for us to do whatever we wanted, such as a huge sandbox and a vast training ground.
Once the floors were added, it was time to check out the seventh perk. For this one, it was called [Mob Modification], a privilege that allows the master to implement changes upon the monsters in the dungeon. It would have been kind of long work if I did it right now, so let me do it later.
The eighth perk was called [Outer Wall]. Just like the fourth perk, it builds an invincible wall on the surface, but the wall would be skirting the circumference of the Surface Floor, hence covering the entire prairie.
Without a second thought, I clicked the perk before I shifted my attention to the screen on the right. The others followed my actions; they seemed to be intensively watching my work. Upon looking at the screen, the grassy flatland and the forest met.
But deep underground, stones then started to grow from the edge of the circular platform. It continued to rise up like a developing tooth until the slabs of black stones reached the surface.
The earth protruded, and the black wall began to surface right from the boundary of the forest and the prairie. It grew taller and taller until it stopped rising when it hit the maximum height of fifty meters.
The Outer Wall had a diameter of twenty kilometers, exactly as wide as the Surface Floor. However, there were only two entry points to the wall, the north and south entrances, which faced the forest.
But there was a feature in the [Modify] section of this dungeon that could move the entrances for one to the gate to face west, the direction to the Raevender territory, and the nearest civilization from this place. So at least people did not have to walk along the circumference to enter the dungeon.
With that, the Outer Wall had been established on the Surface Floor. Only a few dungeon cities, including the Imperial Capital, had Inner Walls around them, let alone outer ones. So we were lucky to have one here.
With the Outer Wall erected, a vast open space had been isolated from the forest. That space would probably be used as fields for crops and livestock if a city were to establish itself inside the Inner Wall.
Once I was done with the Outer Wall, I exited the perk and clicked the ninth perk. Apparently, this perk was named [Floor Terrain Modification]. As its name implies, this allows the Dungeon Master to change the biome of the floors. But since I did not want to change it the way it was, I just left it unattended and moved to the next perk.
The last perk of this dungeon was the one I was most excited about, the [Floor Swapping]. Without further ado, I immediately gave it a try, and an illustration of an erected long rectangular bar was then popped up on the screen.
The illustration was divided into strips; there were a hundred and four of them. Obviously, each strip represented the floors of this dungeon.
To make the swapping happen, I just had to select the floor and then click the floor that I wanted it to switch with. Once the floors had been selected, a confirmation panel popped up in the middle of the screen.
Since it would be a huge pain to put an entire mansion into my subspace, I tried to swap the 60th Floor with the 104th Floor as an experiment. After clicking the [Yes] button, a loading bar then overlapped the confirmation panel, and the swapping had been processed.
I already informed my female clones, who were currently on the 60th Floor, about the switching of floors beforehand. So the girls in the mansion were able to anticipate the minor earthquake of the process.
In just a matter of seconds, the 60th and 104th floors had successfully switched positions without any problem. The labels of the floors in the illustration even swapped; the 60th was now the 104th, and vice versa.
There were actually floors on which I wanted to swap positions, but I wanted others to hear me out about this one.
"Hey, mothers," I said, turning my head. "There is actually a floor that I wanted to keep to myself, which is the 40th Floor. Would you mind if I switched it with the 103rd Floor?"
"The 40th?" Mom put a finger on her mouth. "Isn't it the floor where you keep..."
"Yeah, Mom."
"Well, I think we won't mind." Right, Mylene?"
"Oh, yes. I don't mind either."
"You are hiding something on that floor, aren't you, Raphael?"
Suddenly, Big Sis pointed out my intention. That floor was where Rubina was detained, so I had to keep her existence secret. Though Mom and Mother had been there one time and even met the resurrected Nightmare.
"So what?" I haughtily responded. "There is something there that I wanted to keep hidden. So could you please not go there?"
"Hmph. Not that I want to waste my time crawling the dungeon to get there, anyway. You are not even bringing me every time you go there, so you can do as you please."
"Thanks for the response, everyone."
With that said, I began moving my index finger on the panel and successfully switched the 40th and 103rd floors. A few seconds later, the swapping was done, and the labels had been switched. With that, my personal floor had been isolated from the publicly accessible floors above.
The 30th Floor, which was the residence of Azrael, remained untouched. I had no plans to move it since there were not that many important things there—just a simple house for a simple man.
