"System! Please tell me more about Territorial Imperative." said Gus."h.e.l.lo, Dear User! The skill Territorial Imperative, turns you into the dungeon"s dungeon master by obtaining an expired user"s system." said the System.
"Wait, you mean to tell me that dungeons are made from where previous system owners have died?" asked Gus.
"Affirmative! But, not exactly. Not all system-users have the same skills. This expired system-user skill is a Dungeon Master! By taking over the previous system user"s core, you inherit the previous system skill "Dungeon Master."This action, rewarded you a unique new t.i.tle!" answered the system.
"Unique new t.i.tle?!" said Gus. He opened his System Function.

"Gluttonous? Hey?! Why didn"t you tell me I had a new t.i.tle?" asked Gus.
"User, it is your responsibility to check on your interface, once in a while! Notifications for new acquisitions of t.i.tles are muted by default." said the System.
"What does the Gluttonous t.i.tle do?" asked Gus.
"It means you can take over an expired user"s core and take its skill for yourself!" answered the system.
"Hmm.... System please open the Yellowleaf Dungeon Tab please"
As soon as Gus saw the options, he was amazed at the things he could do! Gus closed his interface and took out the peanut b.u.t.ter from his spatial inventory.
He dug three similar pitfall traps as he made before with peanut b.u.t.ter as the bait.
Gus wanted to conclude something that was bothering him before. He waited for 30 minutes at a safe distance to see if the pitfalls had worked.
Lo and behold, All three pitfalls something that fell in!
"I knew it! Is there something with Earth"s ingredients that has an effect on the Living Creatures in this world?" asked Gus.
"Yes, there is, Dear User! Ingredients from Earth contains Mana in its purest form. The creatures of Circa can"t help themselves, but be attracted to the Mana, the ingredient emits." said the system.
"Why is it that Earth"s Mana is different from Circa?" Asked Gus.
"Earth"s use for Mana has always been used purely for natural phenomenons, since (Magic) is not used in Earth at all. The Mana acc.u.mulated by Earth, way before humans have existed, has been acc.u.mulated and overflowed for millennia. The Mana that didn"t overflow from Earth, retained its purest form." explained the system.
"So is it possible to deplete Earth"s Mana?" asked Gus.
"It is, but it is comparable to a human attempting to breathe all the air on earth, or drink all the waters of the oceans, multiplied by a thousand!" said the system.
Gus really tried to understand what the system says, but he eventually gave up. However, he did understand that Earth"s Pure Mana pool, is insanely large for him to deplete alone.
Gus really is thankful he still obtained a system that is very informative. Only if the System wasn"t too greedy then he would be the perfect companion.
Meanwhile inside the pitfalls, aside from the Wild Boar that was scurrying inside, there are two other creatures he has seen for the first time. The creatures look familiar, as Gus also has spent time playing video games or reading folklore, but he wanted to ask the system just to make sure.
-------------------------
False c.o.c.katrice LVL 01
HP: 20/20
Supposedly hatched by a serpent from the egg of a c.o.c.k, and commonly represented with the head, legs, and wings of a c.o.c.k and the body and tail of a serpent. Came from a lineage of a legendary monster that has a glance that can petrify its victims. Since it"s extinction, the genes have deteriorated over time from having a loss of pure genes by cross-breeding. Now, It"s mostly seen as a commodity.
------------------------
Jackalope "Horned Rabbit" LVL 01
HP: 25/25
A jackalope is fast and agile, but with tactics and weapons, it can be hunted. the Horn Rabbit makes efficient use of its two legs to execute overhead attacks to kill weaker prey. It takes skilled Hunters and Adventurers catch this creature, hence the reason why it is rarely consumed by humans
------------------------
With Gus" ability, IMPART and MORPH, he made steel cages with wheels and placed his captured creatures inside. He went straight away to YellowLeaf Dungeon, to study his newly acquired skill.
He placed his newly acquired creatures in the dungeon interface.

-----------------
Soon, He heard noises on the second level of his dungeon. Gus came down to the second lower level and was surprised to find Wild boars, false c.o.c.katrices and jackalopes moving around.
Although Gus was on high alert at first, the creatures inside seem to be neutral around Gus.
"System, are they aggressive?" asked Gus.
"Yes, they are, but not to the User. Even if the User kills one of them, it"s companions won"t bother."
Gus realized, he had just made his own personal Slaughterhouse! No matter how much he takes, as long as the dungeon core is alive and well, Gus will continue to consume Earth"s pure Mana for the Dungeon to sp.a.w.n creatures.
"System, How Can I put more levels and creatures in the dungeon? It seems I can only put three at most." Said Gus.
"Obviously, User needs to spend a skill point, and level up the specific dungeon!" said the System.
"I guess there has to be someone or something that guards the Dungeon, which explains the Dungeon Boss, but what is the treasure chest for?" asked Gus.
"Seeing as the User cannot think for himself, then I will kindly explain. Since the Dungeon Core has no longer a source where it can draw Mana from. The Dungeon is aware that a human is greedy by nature. The Dungeon core uses this ideology to attempt and draw in wayward adventurers by creating a treasure, hidden underneath. Humans have always emanated Mana, which can sustain the dungeon lifespan. Once humans are in the dungeon, it would do its very best to steal the human"s Mana for its own survival." said the System.
"So, Last night, the dungeon must have gotten desperate to try and take humans, since no one ventured inside it anymore," said Gus.
"Precisely. Dungeon Creatures cannot live outside the dungeon walls for too long. That is the reason they cannot go out of their own territory unless they are forced to." said the System.
Gus guessed that he should probably head back to Forest Kitchen Number One, before lunchtime.
He killed Three of each animal and placed them in his spatial storage. As he was about to exit the Dungeon, Gus can"t help but ask the system.
"System, Did the last User turned into a Goblin Lord?" Asked Gus.
"No Dear User, It seems our dearly departed ex-system-user has been eaten by the Goblin Lord."
