8 0008 - Finishing my first floor
[A/N: Chapter 5 was fixed if you want to go re-read it]
After making sure there was a total of 30 Ants and Rats, all of the Monster factions were split up into the three zones, each taking a third of the floor with the only empty space being my core room at the center and the small entrance into it.
And since I would prefer not to have any chance of dying again, I sealed off the entrance into my dungeon with a small wall of Stone Slimes that appeared to be a part of the walls of my core room.
Luckily Slimes don't have to eat any material placed within their bodies, so filling up their bodies entirely with stone and rock makes them a perfect hidden door that I could move at any time.
Other than that, I let the three monster factions begin fighting, and I made sure that their number was always above their minimum.
I was happy that they could level from killing each other, but it appeared that killing another of their own species gave not as much experience and gave them the title, [Kin Slayer].
Before long, the Rat Swarm and Ant Hive reached the Second Tier, then the Third.
I noticed infighting in both the Ant Hive and Rat Swarm due to the lack of solid leadership.
The Giant Rats had infighting with the weaker rats being bullied by the strong and the strong fighting for leadership.
The Ants, however, were without a Queen as of now, so they were kind of mindlessly acting right now.
However, I have the highest leveled Ant on the path to becoming an Ant Queen.
So far, the Ant's evolution line has been Ant Pup ---> Ant Worker ---> Ant Queen Pup.
Before I tell the System that the floor is finished, I want to get the Ant Hive up and running.
Out of all three monster factions, the Ant Hive was the weakest due to their lack of social structure until a Queen arose.
So I spent quite a few hours leveling the Ant Queen Pup to be the first Tier 4 Monster in my dungeon.
And from this time, I learned that the higher level a Monster gets, the less EXP the lower leveled enemies give.
Before long, however, I did get the Queen Ant Pup and evolved it into an Ant Queen.

\=====================/
Quite the fearsome monster.
And now that every monster faction had some social structure, besides the Slimes, I felt like my first floor was finally finished.
[Confirm that the First Floor is complete?]
"Confirm?"
[Congratulations on completing the tutorial!]
[You have gained complete access to the System, System Store, and can now level]
[Generating System Obelisk within floor]
[Error]
[System reviewing...]
[Generating three separate System Obelisks within the floor for each Monster 'Faction']
"What is a system Obelisk?" I asked, hoping for an answer.
[Reviewing Inquiry]
[Accepted]
[Answer: A System Obelisk's purpose is to allow Dungeon Monsters and Delvers to see their statuses, select jobs, change jobs, or select their evolutions, easing Dungeon Management]
[Note that the System can still directly interfere with the statuses of dungeon monsters and evolutions]
"That's...interesting. So if I allow the monsters to use the Obelisks, they would manage themselves? And I wouldn't have to micro-manage as much?"
[Reviewing Inquiry]
[Accepted]
[Answer: Correct, do note, however, that this can lead to unforeseen evolutions or unwanted situations]
"Great! Next question then, how do I increase my Mana Capacity and level up?"
[Reveiwing both questions]
[Accepted]
[Answer: The Host can increase their mana capacity either by experimentation or leveling up]
[Answer: To level up, foreign entities need to perish within the dungeon]
"And that's the only way I can level up?" I asked.
[Reviewing question]
[Accepted]
[Answer: The only way to level up is collecting the essence of foreign entities]
"Well, that's a bummer. But, at least I won't have my humanity or lack thereof holding me down."
[Generating Gateway]
[Generating World Wheel]
[Please mentally spin the wheel]
"The...hell?" I cursed upon finding a strangely large wheel filled with so many slots that I could hardly see the text written on them.
There had to be tens of thousands of options on this wheel!
My Hero Academia?
One Piece?
Marvel Comics?
Marvel Cinematic Universe?
DC Comics?
DC Cinematic Universe?
The AVP Universe?
I know most of the options I see!
These were worlds of fiction!
Your telling me my gateway could open to the DC or Marvel universe?!
Just those two universes have countless beings that could wipe out my dungeon with but a thought!
Seriously! Even though my Dungeon Monsters are high-level right now, they are still relatively weak!
For example, the Ant Queen, who is the only Tier 4 monster in my dungeon, has the strength of three men!
That's it!
The only things my factions have over ordinary men are their abilities and numbers!
Sighing, I spun the wheel.
I watched as the wheel passed over countless worlds.
[Star Wars, the Old Republic Era]
[The Harry Poter Universe]
[Warhammer 40k]
[Overwatch]
[The SCP Universe]
[Fallout]
[Dying Light]
To name a few that I passed over.
Seeing the wheel begin to slow down, I prayed for a somewhat weak world.
Then it stopped.
[The Walking Dead Universe]
