[Dungeon] Chapter 48 – Avatar
🕑 Added 2025-04-12 12:35:25 +0000 UTCAfter Cain set the assistant system, the new RNG goddess of his dungeon, and added extra rules, he launched the Dungeon Chat Room. Not only that, he decided to delete the Fun Fun Dungeon! and Elemental Tower's old entrance.
The one connected to the hub should be enough for now.
He reasoned it this way, the management would be easier. He didn't have to set a time limit or be afraid that his target audience wouldn't find anything.
Thus, he only prepared one dungeon entrance in Kuoh Town, one in Konoha, and one in Suna. He still had one unused dungeon entrance slot left.
Also, just a few minutes after he launched his Dungeon Chat Room, his fame unexpectedly increased.
[Various people from different factions have found and recognized your dungeon!]
[Your fame has increased by 1.]
[Due to the increase of your fame, a new authority is unlocked!]
Authority Level: 4
─ Avatar Creation
An authority with a name that Cain could recognize easily. He didn't need to read the description to know what it was capable of.
But, he did anyway.
─ Avatar Creation: Allow you to use 5,000 Coins to create 1 avatar that you can control directly. Your main consciousness will reside inside the avatar while DSA-1 will ensure the dungeon system operates smoothly.
There was nothing much written aside from this line. But Cain felt a bit cheated when he found out that he had to use 5,000 Coins to create an avatar.
But on the bright side, he had no limits to choose any race, appearance, and even gender. He could create the avatar anything he wanted, but the stats he could distribute were limited.
'I can increase the avatar's status by gathering EXP. And I can get EXP by killing my own dungeon monsters.'
With his authority increased, the menu that was previously unlocked and hidden could now be accessed. Plenty of new things to learn and experiment with.
One thing that he found useful was the 'Multiple Instance' menu, which allowed him to duplicate any dungeon by using Coins. The cost? Only 1/5 of the dungeon value.
Which meant if he wanted to create Elemental Tower's second instance, he had to pay 1/5 of the cost of creating Elemental Tower, which was around 10,000 Coins after he added more monsters.
Anyway, that wasn't important. Not even the new dungeon slot was important right now.
The most important part right now was 'Avatar Creation', something that Cain had longed for the longest time ever since he was transferred into this place.
'I can go outside!' He pumped his fist as joy filled his body, 'Now, let's see what kind of avatar I can create...'
Cain scrolled through his list of available species. There were numerous choices for him, ranging from various human subspecies to dragons, demons, spirits, angels, gods, you named it. He could even become a slime or insect if he wanted to, and they had lots of subspecies.
"Wow! What should I make? I still have more than 10,000 Coins, so should I make two characters? Or maybe I should use the Coins to modify my avatar's trait. Now that will be interesting."
Thinking about what he should do, he started playing around with the system.
First of all appearance, then ability.
For a man who joined a new species research club in his highschool, Cain knew a whole lot about races and stuff that existed in real life or imagination.
Then, he tried to do something unbelievable.
"Mermaid's gill, dragon wings, demon eyes, cheetah beastman legs, rhino horn, turtle's back, and then body of a minotaur." He tried to put all random parts in his character creation and pressed 'preview'.
"Oh god."
The result appeared, and he could only describe it as horrifying monstrosity.
Not only that, the Coins needed to create this avatar increased due to various races he chose at once.
"So it will become more expensive if I choose more races. What about half?"
This time, he tried to create a half-elf half-human avatar. The Coins needed to create this avatar stayed the same. However, the drawback came in the stats.
"Hmm, I have 300 Stat points that I can distribute. If I share it to everything evenly, that would give me D- stats and 400 HP. So 60 stat makes me reach D- and each stat point increase my HP by 5, seeing that I have 100 base HP if I start as a humanoid race."
Having D- meaning he was stronger than Orc but weaker than Snow Yeti and Wendigo.
"Hmm... Playing min-max stats in this case would be better than spreading everything evenly. Although there might be a hidden requirement if I reached a certain amount in my stats. But, hmm.."
There were four main attributes; Strength, Agility, Vitality, and MP.
Seeing that his stat started as F+ and increased to D- with 60 stat points, that meant each increment in alphabet required 15 points. He could simply spread the points between AGI, VIT, and MP if he wanted to play safe, leaving STR to E rank.
A mage build was possible.
"But wait..." He realized one problem. "Magic spell."
Right, to use magic, he had to learn spells. Spells, a mechanic he didn't even touch at all until now because he had no MP at all. He tried replicating Akeno's magic, but to no use. Then, he tried to use ninjutsu, but it also wasn't possible.
Learning magic spells would be hard unless he could add it into his skill when he created the avatar. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible yet.
"I need a higher authority, huh?"
Which meant he could forget about MP, leaving it to minimum or E rank, so he would have 45 free stat points to play around with his build.
Going physical might be worth it...
"If it's a dungeon, then I need to go with that build, right?"
One that assured him a place in a party. Something that never changed across the fandom of light novels and such. The strongest unit on the battlefield, the undead who never die.
"Alright. For the race, let's select some random humans for now. Appearance, handsome. W-Well, why not. Ability? High regeneration to survive damage, STR for carrying big weapons, VIT for taking hits, AGI for moving, and MP? Eh, just a bit is alright. Yeah..."
With a laugh, he made fun of his weakness to his favorite settings. Cain finished assigning his stat points, and he used his remaining Coins, leaving 2,000 for emergency, to modify his avatar's trait and resistances.
