The broken dungeon core

Luna headed to my core for another mana transfer and by now it has become almost ritualistic to the point where I have gotten to where I can tell when her mana was full or not.

I partly discovered this after I realized that ever since the teleportation incident she has been transferring all her mana every time, so I have found that although it’s usually full when she wakes up it’s not always full when she does a transfer when they take their midday meal break as sometimes it is too early for it to have finished refilling.

Another thing that I noticed is that she seems to be slowly getting a larger mana capacity as well!

I don’t have enough information on the matter but could she be getting an improved mana storage over time or is it possible that it is improving because she is using it?

I don’t have any way to ask and somehow I don’t think Luna really realizes it herself, even though she has gained at least a couple of points to her mana capacity it’s definitely beneficial as it’s also adding to my rates of recovery.

With the combination of my improved mana absorption efficiency and her increased mana capacity I am about to finish crystallizing the mana in the cracks for the first time since I was damaged.

Once I finished the first crystallization process I should be able to start another section of liquified mana and try to smooth out some of the rough edges in my dungeon core.

I already know that this is going to be a long process but I feel like there is a lot more in play than System is letting me know, in fact I feel like I just don’t get all the information as I should.

I also seem to have features that I haven’t been informed about yet partly because they are damaged or because I haven’t gotten close enough to unlock them and some that require particular materials or resources in general, as has been hinted at with the breeder requirements.

Although I don’t think I have been informed of just what the required amounts are precisely I at least I know what resources are needed for creating it.

I have done some exploring through my dungeon database on the things I have uncovered from things that I have discovered through absorbing the seeds of plants to the data that has been repaired for my dungeon plants because of it.

To things that I have uncovered due to repairing my dungeon core, like the fact that I have a level 0 core, as well as a level 1 dungeon!?

Somehow I feel like my core and dungeon are out of sync and I can only guess as to it being related to my core being busted but I don’t think it’s the only thing that it is.

I think there are some things that I have to do or unlock in order to level up and although I have been trying to ask System about many things I would like to know it has gotten to where it rarely gives me any information at all!

If that wasn’t bad enough it’s not notifying me about all the updates when I get mana transfers now, as sometimes it only gives me an update on my improved mana absorption efficiency or my new mana storage capacity, I don’t even get any updates on my energy at all!!!

I want to complain about it but who can I even complain about it to when I can’t even talk to others other than yes or no responses I have to improvise!

I have been mainly focusing on repairing my core and only spontaneity doing more around my dungeon while only allotting a few mana to use each night to add more plants.

Speaking of plants the sleeping remedies are about ready to harvest and the glowing moss has just begun to make a little glowing light in the center of the second room, granted it isn’t even close to bright enough but since it’s still growing I hope that it’s level of brightness will increase over time.

I now have a new plant called moist moss which requires a full unit of water for me to get it started as well as the normal plant requirements for mana, biomass and energy, but on the upside it is apparently able to produce more water which will drip from the moss, so I have currently placed one in the second small room that is now considered the washing room.

Another plant that I have newly obtained, after Luna brought me some new plants to absorb, is a fire fern which requires me to absorb some hot coals and cost a whopping 15 mana and 30 energy just to plant!

But since it is supposed to produce a little bit of light and heat I think it will be getting planted once it starts getting cold inside as so far the fireplace seems to be doing well to fend off the chill that is starting to be felt outside.

Luna and the others seem to be trying to hurry up with their winter preparations as Luna went right back out once the rain had passed having only changed her clothes and drying her fur while warming herself by the fire long enough to avoid her getting sick.

I don’t know exactly what it means to be sick but from what it sounds like I am guessing that it would be like getting poisoned which from what my dungeon database says it can be really bad if they got sick.

I don’t know what it is that she went out to do but I would have to guess that she went to check on her traps out in the woods and maybe seeing what was effected by the rain.

She returned a little muddy and had to get herself cleaned up again but she was ready for dinner by dusk and she sat down at the table with her siblings for a hearty meal.

During the dinner Luna made sure to speak with Rocky about his trip tomorrow and her advice about it was continued from earlier.

Luna, “I went down by the river and looked at the path that we took to get here and I think you might want to stick closer to the woods because I noticed that not only did the river rise but it looks like a mud slide must have occurred further up stream as the water has more sediment stirred up than it should, and think there is a few spots along the river towards the village that might be at risk of wearing down.

Just keep to the tree line and you should be fine just be careful about slipping and falling onto something that might hurt you, I plan on heading out to meet you on your way back but if I don't see you before dusk I will assume the worst and try to find you, so don’t make me worry and come back as soon as you can.

If there’s too much stuff for you to carry then it is fine for you to take whatever you can and do another trip tomorrow if you must.”

They prepare a canteen for him and add a little salveaid to it, because although it may make the water taste bitter it will help with his recovery and therefore it’s better for helping him get back sooner since he will not be needing as much time for breaks.

They simply just chat before bed tonight from what they hope is in the supplies to who Rocky hopes to run into at the Barkley’s barn.

Luna does the usual nightly mana transfer and we are rewarded with completing the first crystallization process!

[Congratulations! You have completed a mana crystallization process! You will be able to continue the core repair process through the dungeon database and are no longer qualified for Emergency System Support!…..You have met the requirements for core level increase but due to the core being damaged all level up rewards, unlocks, and upgrades will be on hold until completion of core repair….. The System is now deactivating in favor of the dungeon database………the system has deactivated.]

WHAT THE HECK! WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON’T QUALIFY FOR THE SYSTEM ANYMORE!!!! COME BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN!!! HELLO!!! HELLO!!! HEY SYSTEM CAN YOU HEAR ME!!!…..

Well shit…. I guess I should have seen this coming from earlier but this really bites.

I guess I am on my own now…well not really, I still have Luna and her siblings but I feel a little bit lost now that System is gone, after all they were the only one there when I first woke up, even if they weren’t the best conversation partner they were the only ones I could ask things and be heard by.

Luna has gone to bed and I feel lonely…
