Chapter 4 by Dareni Dareni

What's the Dungeon Like?

Not that impressive, honestly

The dungeon was...interesting, to say the least.

The Minotaur had woken up in its "boss room" which looked vaguely like a greek temple, open on all fronts with the iconic pillars holding up the roof, a pool of water in the middle, and at the very back sat a vast amount of pillows which worked as a comfy bed, in fact, the Minotaur had woken up on these pillows. His bed he realized.

'Makes sense, I'm the master of this dungeon of course I'd be the final boss...'

He walked around the temple-like room and saw ever-burning braziers that glowed in incandescent orange like the sun. Tables made of wood with ornamental bull horns, voluptuous women carved across them, more pillow beds, and fruits on bowls...this place was well taken care of, he was well taken care of.

Reaching the side of the temple he saw how it worked as a boss room, as an arena, even though it was such an open space. A giant cliff fell into a roiling ocean on all but one side, which instead had a staircase descending into a dark forest, the only entrance and exit. It all worked marvelously as an environmental hazard. He felt the sudden warmth of the sunlight on his body, it was delightful.

Looking over the side of the temple he saw the ocean and the horizon, it brought him joy to see dangerous beasts cresting over the waves, sharks, and other such carnivorous animals, at least he knew the fall was surely deadly now! On the opposite side, he saw a tropical forest the canopy hiding most of the ground with trees so large and tall they looked like spears piercing the heaven, all of them taller than almost all the trees in his previous world.

However one thing stood out to him, it was a path, a hiker's path looking as if people had trudged it for years...which was unlikely. On the very end of the path, he saw a truly GIGANTIC tree fallen and dead, with no leaves, and a hole in the trunk...probably the entrance. He walked across the path seeing beasts and beastmen alike as they bowed their heads to him, but soon grew bored and decided to walk across the forest proper. He soon realized that even though the forest was definitely explorable, the "Dungeon" was the path and his temple while the "Scenery" was the forest.

“So much wasted space though! Why only have the path be the dungeon? it is linear and has few monsters as it is! The forest itself could easily be made into a multi-path labyrinth! I could even set up sub-bosses to hamper adventuring parties! What the hell, do those goddess bitches not put in any fucking effort!? No wonder they lost!”

[Nobody said you can't change the dungeon yourself, Moron.]

“Yeah, I suppose I'll take a few months setting this shit up, definitely could use more goddamn traps! WHAT SORT OF DUNGEON DOESN'T HAVE TRAPS!? WHAT IS THIS, AN MMO!? I'm gonna turn this dungeon into a Dnd nightmare.”

[It's gonna take months y'know?]

“Yeah, Yeah, Whate-”

"LV2 Venom Snakewoman, Class: Poisoner, Race: Beastmen"

“Huh?”

The fuck?
