3 Water... Water Everywhere...

There's a flash of light, and from the light comes a basketball sized, crystalline orb. After the orb appears it begins to fall... and fall... and fall... and then it hits the ocea-

*BBBOOSSSSSHHHHH*

(Bruce) 'w-WHAT THE HELL!!!'

Bruce snaps awake from his unconscious state as he hits the ocean waters, the best way to describe what Bruce is feeling now would be like if someone decided to take you to the pool, and so you decide to relax a bit and you fall asleep, but then that someone carries you to the highest diving board, and then proceeds to fling you into the water. Imagine that, except instead of a diving board its an airplane, and the pool is the ocean, and that your body is strong enough to endure the impact...

(Bruce) 'SERIOUSLY, WHAT HAPPENED!'

After venting his rage for a few minutes Bruce finally managed to collect himself. Though, he still is mad about being dropped smack dab in the middle of the ocean. Eventually, he realizes that he doesn't have any limbs. He also can't turn his head for some reason, and in order to look around he has to will it with his mind

(Bruce) 'Well this is definitely going to take some time to get used to... Anyways, what in the world am I anyway

Bruce tried to see his reflection in the ocean water, but sadly his vision is angled so he can't see it...

(Bruce) 'Just great, my vision is half under the water, half over the surface, ARGH, this is so stupid... Also, apparently I'm buoyant, it also seems that I don't need oxygen either based on the fact that I haven't drowned by now...?'

Just realizing he's been bobbing up and down on the water like a piece of driftwood. All of this is just making him more and more curious about what in the world he is... He can't drown, walk, talk, sink, and it seems that the only thing he can do is think...

(Bruce) 'Am I able to do anything... *sigh*... Well, I can try this maybe... For the record this doesn't make me a chuunibyou... IT DOESN'T!!!'

(Bruce) '*cough cough*... SYSTEM...'

(Bruce) '...'

(Bruce) 'Nothing huh...'

(Bruce) 'How about... Status?'

As soon as the word comes out of Bruce's mouth a status page appears in his mind

(Bruce) '...'

(Bruce) 'What is all of this!!!'

(System) 'Its your stat page'

(Bruce) 'oh, ok- WAIT A SECOND'

Bruce almost didn't question the strange, almost robotic sounding voice that answered him

(Bruce) 'Who are you!'

(System) 'I'm a personal system created by god, I will answer any questions you may have about your status page'

(Bruce) 'Oh... well at least I can get all my questions answered now *sigh*, this is just becoming more and more like an isekai... No, I take it back, this IS isekai at this point'

(Bruce) 'hmm... Anyways what to ask, what to ask...'

Bruce ended up deciding to ask the system about everything on his stat page from top to bottom, and here's the information he got from it

(System)

Name = A name... 'Dungeon cores don't usually have one'

Race = The type of creature you are 'Your race is dungeon core, you are the heart of your dungeon, you gain more stats and skills through the use of DP, you can also expand your dungeon through the use of DP. You also do not gain experience, nor do you level up, as a dungeon core the only way to improve yourself is through expanding your dungeon'

Rank = A way classifying creatures, skills, equipment, and organizations/groups based on their status 'As a dungeon core your rank is determined by the size and difficulty of your dungeon, and not your individual stats. Rank Scale = F, E, D, C, B, A, U, UU, UUU, S, SS, SSS, X'

Status Effects = Only appears in your status if you are under the influence of some sort of status effect, some status effects can mask themselves so they don't appear 'As a dungeon core, you are immune to every type of negative status effect, you are also unable to be sealed away'

Divine Protection = A Divine Tier status effect, Divine Tier spells and magic are only able to be used by the gods, Divine Protection is a status effect that protects whoever it is casted on, from whatever the caster chooses 'God cast this spell on you when you where reincarnated, the effect will end after 7 days, the effect will make you immune to all forms of damage, as well as subconsciously redirect any living being within a 2 mile radius away from your location'

Durability = When somethings durability reaches 0, it is destroyed 'As a dungeon core, you have durability instead of HP. Dungeon cores don't have all that much durability, so watch out, core races like humans, elves, and dwarves will jump at the chance to destroy you, because if someone destroys a dungeon core, their level cap will be boosted according to the rank of dungeon core destroyed'

MP = The magical energy used to cast spells 'As a dungeon core, you have a large amount of MP. Your MP can be used to summon creatures inside of the dungeon'

SP = Stamina 'Since your a dungeon core, you have no need for stamina"

DP = Dungeon Points, exclusive to dungeon cores, used to create and edit dungeons 'You can use dungeon points in order to control the features of your dungeon, edit your dungeon, set up spawn points, edit the monsters in it. You gain DP over time. You gain a small amount of DP over time for all things living in your dungeon. You gain DP from things that die in the dungeon. You can turn items, materials, and currency into DP. You can also turn DP into items, materials, and currency

ATK = Attack 'As a dungeon core, you have no need for ATK'

DEF = Defense, reduces damage taken from attacks

AGI = Agility 'As a dungeon core, you have no need for AGI'

Skills = Skills are powerful ability's capable of many things, whether its healing, slashing, or burning your enemy's into ash 'Most of your dungeon related skills run on DP'

Intelligence = A skill that appears within sentient beings, it does nothing. However, it can be used to indicate whether monster is intelligent or not

Dungeon Control = Allows for a dungeon core to control every aspect of their dungeon, that includes the monsters spawned by it

Dungeon Editor = Allows for a dungeon core to edit every aspect of their dungeon using DP, the amount of DP used depends on what a core wants to edit

Dungeon Clairvoyance = Allows for a dungeon core to view anywhere in the dungeon, it even allows for the dungeon core to see through the eyes of the dungeons monsters

Personal System = 'Hi'

MP Regeneration = Regenerates MP over time

(System) 'Do you have any other questions?'

(Bruce) 'I think I'm good for now... I still have a lot to think about...'

(Bruce) '...'

(Bruce) 'You know, I think I'll just take it easy for the rest of the day. Starting tomorrow however, I'll see if I can learn how to use my ability's, the faster I make my dungeon the better... And I have just the right idea for how my dungeon should work, hehe.....'

(Bruce) 'I miss my bed...'
