Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

Feeling that he had completely gained their loyalty, along with showing them that he was to be feared, Geth felt more assured with their deal. Geth gestured to Hulk to follow him.

He then picked up the Dungeon Crystal and walked to the center of the formation to begin the process.

While walking over, Geth socketed the new Boss Core into his Robe of Magnus. Particles of light poured out of the core, quickly filling one of the two available socket locations that lined his collar.

The process didn't take very long. The once empty socket now contained a neon green gem. Inside of the gem was a green mist that was constantly circling it. Geth checked the additional Attributes given by the robe.

:Gem of Bane +250 HP, +150 MP, +25 Defense, +10 Agility:

'Another nice increase.' He thought about the Attributes of the Chief and wondered how they were distributed into its core. Surprisingly, Albus didn't answer. 'Maybe it isn't information we have access to right now.'

Geth and Hulk made it to the center of the formation before he had time to ask Albus about it directly. From Geth's Inventory Satchel, he poured out a hundred pounds worth of Goblin Cores.

He'd already lent his 1000 pound bag to Harris and Farris to start bringing in all of the gear and cores they'd stored in Gourmand's room. There were hundreds of thousands of experience worth of cores for upgrading the Dungeon.

When the bag had been emptied, Geth pulled out the Dungeon Crystal.

:Dungeon Crystal (Level 0) Experience 0/10,000

Can be upgraded using Monster Cores.

Owner- Geth

Owner is already in possession of a higher Level Dungeon Crystal. Would you like to subordinate the current Dungeon to Level 2 Dungeon, Valhalla? Yes / No:

"Yes."

:Congratulations on obtaining subordinate Dungeon. Subordinate Dungeons are directly leveled in conjunction with the primary Dungeon, Valhalla. As this is a larger Dungeon, the number of resource locations is greater.

Five Options can be chosen for the current expansion. The expansion will commence once decisions have been made.

Option 1: Simple Iron Mine

Option 2: Simple Gem Mine

Option 3: Simple Hunting Grounds

Option 4: Simple Training Grounds

Option 5: Basic Smithy

Option 6: Basic Enchanter

Option 7: Basic Tailor

Option 8: Basic Tavern:

After thinking over it for a few moments, Geth made up his mind. 'This place should have the necessities, those can then be purchased from Valhalla with Contribution Points.' He thought.

'Albus, let's leave them with the Simple Iron Mine, Simple Hunting Grounds, Simple Training Grounds, the Basic Tailor, and the Basic Tavern.' He listed his choices off. If his Subordinate Dungeons could take care of the basics, he could focus on Upgrading Valhalla for the rarer materials.

He had thought about it for a while during his travels. If he were to upgrade the Iron Mine, would that mean they couldn't get basic metals anymore? He couldn't imagine Bruce using some type of Mythril or high-grade steel for making a simple cup or utensils.

:Current inhabitants will be teleported outside as arrangements are made:

Geth barely had time to read the words before he and everyone else were standing on the ground outside. They all looked around before focusing on the massive tree in front of them.

The Dungeon entrance had changed quite a bit from its original hole in the ground. In front of them, it seemed as if the tree had grown twice its original size.

A pair of beautiful wooden doors were embedded into the trunk of the tree. Roots came up from the ground in an arch, acting as a frame for the doorway. Vines now wrapped in a spiral around the tree, making it look as if it had been designed.

A green gem was embedded in the center of the two doors. Before opening, Geth walked over to the trio and had them join the residency through the Dungeon Crystal.

They entered the Dungeon through the trunk of the large tree, walking down the comfortably shaped steps the roots provided. The light was much cozier than before, Geth looked at the familiar crystals embedded in the walls. There was no longer a need for torches.

The spiraling steps carried them downward for a much further distance than before. Once they reached the bottom, they crossed a small threshold that led them to an opening. After passing through the opening, even Geth and Filthy couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The chamber they were standing in was enormous, forget acres, this thing was a couple of miles in diameter!

Geth looked back behind him to see the massive trunk of the tree extending all the way to the ceiling. The stairs they'd climbed down were part of this tree!

The tree was in the dead center of the land they were standing in. He looked around for a moment and found another set of stairs going upward to a balcony of branches high above them. These stairs were made from vines and wrapped upward around the trunk.

He didn't waste any time taking the lead and advancing towards the balcony. When they made it to the top of the stairway they were surprised once again.

The balcony was made from hundreds of closely-knit branches extending in a circle around the trunk. More branches and vines did the same about 10 feet above them creating a roof-type structure, the thing reminded Geth of a treehouse.

Hammocks of Vines hung all throughout the area from the ceiling and a short wall of branches lined the platform to keep people from falling off of the edge. Geth found what he was looking for on this wall, there was a small set of stairs leading to a smaller platform.

On that platform was a familiar 5 sided crystal hovering just over a podium of branches. He quickly made his way over with the others following behind him.

Once he made it to the platform, he activated the crystal and watched as a holographic display appeared in front of him.. Hulk and the brothers gasped, but the rest were used to the sight by now.
