<<Hello, I'm Gloria, I'm responsible for retrieving and explaining information from the system.>>
As all that information flowed into my head and manifested into a floating GUI in the air the reality finally clicked, I was already in another world. The voice I heard sounded very familiar, it resembled a lot the voice of the cute and hot goddess I met just before. I have the blessing of both gods... I will never show this to anyone... Having the blessing of the god of virginity makes me sound like a weeb... Anyhow, what the heck have I become?
I just realized; my eyesight is completely different... the angle is the same but the height is way lower... What if I look down...? Wa~
You joking? Oh, the wandering gaze thing... This is weird as fuck... It’s like I'm a floating pair of eyes... Uh, found myself, I'm this box in the middle of the room.
Now that's underwhelming... It just looks like a blackish cube... Hey Gloria, is there anything else to that underwhelming box?
<< There is some lighting to the dungeon core, although you can't control the Pattern of the lights themselves since that is an identifier of the individual core, you can control the colors, intensity and speed in which the lights change using the Chroma subtab in the Menu. Keep in mind the Menu is both word and thought controlled.>>
Yay, I became a Razer Chroma RGB Cube... Everything I ever wanted to be in my entire life...
Open Chroma
< CHROMA >
< >
< G = 0 >
< B = 0 >
< Gamma = -0 >
< Brightness = OFF >
< >
< Primary Color: OFF >
< Secondary Color: OFF >
< Light Effect: OFF >
< Effect Speed: OFF >
Are you fucking serious? I really have RGB? That sounds fun.
Set Primary Color to Indigo and Secondary Color to Very Dark Purple. Set Brightness to 255, Effect to Breathing and Speed to Slow.
Nice.
The box started to slowly change colors; the main body was still a very deep black but the lights lit up the entire room. It had a very beautiful fractal being lit up and slowly changing from bright dark blue to a dim almost black, purple.
I played around with the setting for a few hours but ended up deciding this one was the best for me. I then realized there was a single goblin in the room. It was sitting up in a lotus, like a person, staring at me, that is, the cube. Since I had nothing better to do now, I tried using body manifestation and finally became the human I always had been.
The goblin immediately became confused at the sight of a human being but soon calmed down, sitting back down where he was.
After some time I realized the consumption from manifesting my body was pretty low, only 1 mana every 2 hours. I figured it was because I was doing nothing. And as such we stood there, sat on the humid rock, staring at each other for fricking hours while nothing ever happened.
After a lot of time I realized I felt no urge to sleep, only some fatigue.
Hey Gloria.
<< Yes Core. >>
Is there anything to do down here?
<< Your purpose as a dungeon core is to maintain and evolve the dungeon. >>
Yeah, I got that part from the name C.O.R.E. I mean, is there anything I can do?
<< You can use your EP to improve the dungeon in many ways. There are specific menus for building floors and rooms, increasing their number and size, relocating them, invoking items, treasures and hiring monsters. >>
What about setting up traps and stuff?
<< That menu is only available to the Dungeon Master >>
And since I don't have one?
<< You do not have access to the menu. You need to find a Dungeon Master. >>
And what if I don't want to have one?
<< There is no report of a Dungeon Core without a master for long throughout history. >>
Are there any rules about it?
<< There is no report of a Dungeon Core without a master for long throughout history. >>
I got it the first time what I'm asking is if it is possible to not have one.
<< There is no report of a Dungeon Core without a master for long throughout history. >>
Oh, for fucks sake. Just shut up I'll figure it on my own.
Select Dungeon Master.
< Dungeon Master Selection >

Interesting, how do I solve this...
A handful of hours passed as I tried to break through the system. Nothing worked though. I ordered the goblin to move around the room, to the corners, to push against a wall, to move him all the way out of the dungeon, which turned out to be impossible. Everything. I tried everything to unlock that option.
Why the fuck did I even have to get to know that fucking god of who-knows-what... Who the fuck even is he... "Hey look at me I'm god, you isekai, hur dur~." Asshole... Couldn't he just let me fucking die?
And what the actual fuck is this shit in front of me? A fucking gerblin? Why the fuck does this shithole only have a single fucking goblin... What the fuck am I supposed to do with it.
<< Goblin A is a monster belonging to this dungeon, its purpose is to defend the dungeon-core and deter intruders from gaining access to the core room. >>
OH?! REALLY?! THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME THAT YOU FUCKING CUNT!
<< You are welcome Core >>
God... Not even the fucking system is useful... Next time tell me something I don't know, idiot.
<< System directive updated, will no longer notify about previously acknowledged intel. >>
Thank you!
Holy shit... I can't even think to myself without this fricking system interfering... Do you even know what privacy is?
<< Yes Core, I do know what the noun Privacy stands for. >>
IT WAS A RETHORICAL QUESTION! For fucks sake can this shit even get any worse.
< *PEEEEEEEM* *PEEEEEEM* *PEEEEEEM* >
Now what the fucking heck is that alarm for?
<< Intruders have been spotted around the entrance of the Dungeon, Core. >>
Fuck me, and for fucks sake stop calling me "Core", It's freaking me out.
<< How would you like to prefer being called? >
Oh hell, here we go again, call me Master or something.
<< Core is not Master, permission denied. >>
And who the fuck is the master?
<< Currently Dungeon Phi has no master, do you accept Gerlingdor as the Dungeon Master? >>
Who the fuck even is Gerlingdor?
<< Gerlingdor is the sole monster in this dungeon. >>
LIKE HELL I'LL HAVE A GOBLIN BE MY MASTER YOU PIECE OF TRASH!
And how the fuck does the goblin have a name?
<< Gerlingdor is a rare kind of monster, a Named one. Named monsters have better stats then their unnamed counterparts and more potential for improvement. >>
"That useless piece of crap is special? what the fuck?"
For the first time I got nervous enough to speak out loud since I came to this idiotic dungeon. And much to my dismay the goblin seemed to have understood my words.
It started rising from the floor and grabbed his rudimentary dagger.
"What the fuck is up with you now?"
The Goblin continued coming with the blade towards my manifested body.
"I am still the core of this dungeon, don't dare make a move against me!"
