Gaia was ecstatic.The essence and experience she had been accumulating ever since some of her humans had left the dungeon had allowed her to level up.
[Your dungeon core has levelled up]
[Your dungeon will increase in size]
[Your dungeon has gained more resource nodes]
[All your humans have gained a level up]
[From this point on all your humans will spawn in at level 1 at the bare minimum]
[You may pick 1 out of three trait options]
[Option 1:All your humans will gain more advanced attribute equipment and skill based war gear.When unlocking new areas within the dungeon you will have more of a chance of finding more advanced humans.]
[Option 2:You will be able to spawn in more humans with life profession based classes such as blacksmith's,weavers,cooks,architects,alchemist etc.]
[Option 3:You will be able to spawn in canine companions for your humans.These canine companions will bond with a chosen human and match their level.You will also gain a special boss human known as Nakari the hound master.]
All three traits were pretty good in their own way.Now Gaia didn't know what canines were or whether or not they were capable in battle.It was intriguing that she would get a unique boss human with this trait but she had to leave this trait on the shelf for today.
The second trait was something she felt she needed but she wanted to feel safe before having the luxury to pick a trait like this.Gaia also noted how neither of these traits were present the last time she levelled up.Did the trait selection for each level up select traits at random or did it cycle them out.
She decided to go with option 1 in order to increase the battle capability of her humans.All around the dungeon the humans gained more complex and sophisticated clothing such as cloth,wool,leather.Their existing weapons and armour turned into more advanced craftsmanship and materials.
Speaking of level up she had gained a lot of essence to spend.The amount kept on rising.Her humans were putting in the work now it was her turn.
[14860/14860 essence]
[12570/12570 mana]
She checked what she could purchase.Needless to say she could get a lot and with all the new space in the dungeon.She got extremely excited.Due to her level up and the fact that all her humans could now be spawned in at level 1 at minimum every level human was now cheaper.
[2400 essence has been used.12460/14860 essence remaining]
[1 level 1 boss human with a powerful bloodline has been spawned]
Gaia decided to put in a lot of extra essence into spawning this boss human.She wanted to try an experiment to see how powerful the human bloodlines could become.Seeing how effective Derek was in sparring with boss humans without a bloodline had made Gaia eager to try this.
When the boss human Derek spawned in he had been labelled as having a good bloodline not a powerful bloodline so that was a good sign for this human.Gaia was pleased but she didn't get too excited.She did after all spend 4 times the amount of essence as a regular level 1 boss human would have cost.
The level 1 boss human with a powerful bloodline spawned in and looked to the sky.His hair and eyes were black.He was five foot nine and slim built.He may have been slim but he had decent musculature.His nails were also black.His clothing was dark leather.
Gaia surmised that his unusual appearance was a result of his powerful bloodline.Needless to say he had yet to prove himself as a successful experiment.
...
The boss human came into being.He remembered nothing before he came here.He knew that he possessed the powerful bloodline of the morrigan corvidae.
He decided that his name should be Corvo in honour of his named bloodline.He wanted to find his people.Not because he was lonely but because he wanted to see how he compared to his fellow humans.
He recieved a notification that he was now a free roaming boss.He decided to check his traits first and then his skills.He chose to look through the traits first because in regards to skills he had loads.
[Traits]
[Corvidae nails:your fingernails and toenails are extremely durable,sharp and capable of shaving off most materials.]
[Air walk:your feet are capable of walking in the air.]
[Occult sensory organs:you are capable of perceiving and interacting with vestiges and remnants of the dead.]
[Corvidae pestilence body:your body is capable of incorporating any poison,venom,disease,virus,ailment,curse and anything that can make a person sick in order to permanently boost its physicality and functionality and gain extra traits.]

[Corvidae lungs:you can hold your breath a lot longer then the average person.]

"I hope I'll be accepted."
