Chapter 28 by WhiteFeathers WhiteFeathers

Do you finally find company that will battle you, or shall you simply work the day away once more.

Return of the two of pity.

Waking up and getting a notice of someone(s) being in the dungeon was a different feeling. Checking quickly your work you noticed that it was sadly at 6, reminding you that you had a long way to go before you actually had back that 100 you started with.

Heading over to the work desk, you quickly checked for any changes anywhere and noted that you could see two icons moving along the second floor, One of a shield and a helmet while the other was a staff and outline of a nun. It seemed to be a tank and a healer of some sorts, you wondered what you would do differently.

Those thoughts stay around for only a second as you remember that you barely had anything more to do against your opponents, so let's hope that your trap sends them on a loop. Taking another moment to center yourself, you walk to besides the entrance and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Footsteps, two sets of them finally sounded out from beyond the door. You quickly toggled off your aura and waited just as they opened the doors to cast an illusion to set yourself invisible and watched as they silently crept into the room. Said they were the two heroes from before, A knight that you might have mistaken for male or were right about that or it be female from the higher pitch grunts, sadly the armor really hid the gender of the warrior who wielded a sword and shield and a female priestess that was easy to identify due to her covering robes, habit on her head and the basic staff in hand while a prayer book and idol was around her waist.

Watching them take in the room, they notice the treasure chest and sigh.
"I guess that the boss was removed and instead we get a empty dungeon with no monsters, meaning no loot and then a treasure chest that probably has nothing" complained the warrior as she(?) and her silent companion walked up to the chest and opened it, "Huh... a basic sword wha-"

Then everything went to hell for those two as a crossbow bolt fired into the warrior and the floor under them collapsed and they fell into the spikes, killing the priestess almost instantly while the warrior was heavily injured. I ended her(?) misery with a quick Dark Orb to the face or atleast it seemed that way as the warrior fell down once more before dying.

No level up though. Guess the difference wasn't enough.

[You gain no experience for Kills that are done via traps or monsters in your control. You do gain resources from those kills. Be careful as Traps might become sentient after a high number of kills. Monsters that are above your strength can attempt to take over your dungeon if they are stronger then you by a certain amount.]

Or maybe I didn't know enough and I should really just get stronger, if a mere level 3 could take out the last boss then there was a problem. By the dark gods there was a problem and I really didn't need it now, where is a crypt where I can hide in fear of all things that might kill me.

[Room Plan "Dark Altar Room" Unlocked. Underground Floor Plan "Crypt" Unlocked.]

Oh oh, how about some nice gardens and outside places! Those would be nice as well!

[Outside Plans Unlocked. Balcony Plans Unlocked]

You smile before wondering how to get the resources, so you close the double doors that lead to your room before heading to the desk and sitting down and noticing a exclamation point by Castle Management tab, switching to it you quickly see that you have to rearm the trap and that you had two corpses to loot.

Activating the rearm before looking back at the trap made you see that everything was back to the original appearance, a treasure chest just sitting there. Though looking back at it did note that it actually ate up 2 stone and that the crossbow trap in the trap had only 9 bolts left before it needed to be refitted.

Seeing that either you needed to find a way to get reliable source of resources or needed to find a way to change something in the design so that it didn't require as much material to keep up constantly.

Retrieving the two corpses got you actually two corpses which was surprising, before getting a small amount of items per corpse. The Warrior dropped something called a Warrior Token, Iron, Iron Scraps and 60 Work while the Priestess dropped a Priest Token, Silk, Silk Scraps, Crystals and 102 Work.

Seeing as you had above 100 work now, you need to work on something and fast or else all this extra would go to waste.

Now what should you do with this 168 Work you have accumulated?

New Resources:
Warrior Token: 1. A token to show that your castle or minions have taken out a Warrior.
Priest Token: 1. A token to show that your castle or minions have taken out a Priest or Clerk.
Silk Scraps: 12. Scraps of silk that need to be put together to become useful.
Corpses: 2. The bodies of the fallen which are needed for many things that the darkness need for strength.
Resource Change:
Iron: 1+3= 4. Iron Fragments: 0+14=14. Silk: 0+2=2. Crystal: 0+12=12.

No, really what should you do?
