The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068: Dungeon Level 4

Now, if someone ever needed to learn how to make a notification actually feel threatening, then witnessing the dungeon prompts firsthand would have been an excellent educational experience.

Befitting the sheer amount of CP sacrificed for the upgrade, the notice appeared in front of every single person in massive glowing text so enormous that the younger children could probably stand beside the letters without looking out of place.

Accordingly, even those who had still been distracted earlier finally became fully captivated as more and more prompts continued appearing one after another.

Only this time, there were significantly more words.

And stranger symbols.

Some of them even resembled incomprehensible glyphs.

[TROVE ADVANCED UPGRADE GRANTED]

[PURIFICATION CHAMBER UPGRADES AVAILABLE]

[DUNGEON-LINKED SPACE UPGRADES AVAILABLE]

[SETTLEMENT EXPANSION GRANTED]

[ARCHIVE RECONSTRUCTION STARTED]

[BASIC TERRAFORMER ACCESS GRANTED]

The list admittedly looked intimidating, but also beautiful.

In fact, many of the prompts flowing through Luca’s vision were already familiar to him. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

By now, he had learned the painful distinction between upgrades that were "granted" and those that were merely "available."

The latter almost always meant more CP.

A lot more CP.

Naturally, that realization hurt the money-grubber’s heart a little.

Still, considering the last time the dungeon introduced something "available," they ended up obtaining the dungeon-linked space itself.

So perhaps this would not be so terrible.

There would probably be tears involved, but they’d likely end up as tears of joy.

Eventually.

However, just as Luca mentally prepared himself for the rest of the process—including the tremors, the dramatic environmental changes, and most importantly, the mandatory add-ons they had been bracing themselves for—something unexpected suddenly appeared.

The earlier prompts had all been bold and confident.

These new ones, however, weren’t quite like that, and Luca was certain he saw the massive projection flicker into unfamiliar symbols before returning to its usual look.

Then—

[-------- INITIATION AVAILABLE]

[-------- REPAIR STARTED]

[-------- ACCESS AVAILABLE]

"!"

Huh?

Most people probably would not have found anything odd about that.

But the dungeon owner immediately realized something was wrong.

This was the first time he had encountered dungeon prompts he could not properly read.

No.

Not exactly that.

It was more like...

The words themselves had somehow been redacted?

The golden-eyed Host stared at the strange notifications while trying to process what he had just seen. He even wanted to ask D-29 about it, but before he could do so—

The tremors began.

Then one massive prompt appeared before everyone.

[DUNGEON UPGRADE COMPLETE]

Like an extremely telling finality—or perhaps the signal for a brand-new beginning—the ground shuddered once more as if on cue.

And despite all the warnings the excited first-timers had received beforehand, despite being told to expect tremors and believing they understood what that meant, they were still startled by the sheer intensity of the rumbling beneath them.

Because this was not some mild shaking.

It was the kind that instinctively made people look around for cover.

In particular, the younger girls ended up clinging tightly to their older brothers’ legs for dear life.

Thankfully, Princess Marin had Prince Elior nearby, while Princess Nina had the Imperial Crown Prince, who had already instructed her to stay close because Luca would apparently be "a bit busy" for a while.

Still, now that she’d successfully awakened her bloodline ability, the little Imperial Princess tried her absolute best not to show fear.

As a big girl now, she proudly decided she could at least survive this much.

So while she absolutely clung to her brother tightly, she still managed not to cry or scream.

Though honestly, perhaps part of the reason she didn’t panic was because of the breathtaking scene unfolding before them.

"Woaah..."

It truly looked like a flower blooming before their very eyes.

They watched as the land continuously unfurled outward in smooth, systematic motions, almost as though they were standing inside the center of a giant bud while the world around them slowly blossomed open.

The new terrain spread outward seamlessly until it settled into place, looking as if it had always existed there.

Or perhaps as if it had always been meant to exist there.

Honestly, if not for the constant tremors beneath their feet reminding them this was real, it would’ve been difficult to reconcile the projections with reality.

Especially because the bodies of water shifting across the map were behaving in ways science probably could not explain.

The familiar farmlands they saw nearly every day also seemed to stretch outward alongside the expansion.

Yet strangely enough, nothing looked strained.

If anything, the newly formed land almost looked vibrant.

Alive.

As though it were basking in spiritual energy.

Princess Nina stared with complete fascination.

She honestly didn’t know how to describe what she was seeing, but the sight of vegetation rapidly spreading across the new terrain was so beautiful that she momentarily forgot everything around them was still shaking violently.

However, her attention was suddenly diverted by an excited squeal.

"?"

It was her Brother Chipmunk.

And he was currently staring toward the edge of what appeared to be a massive barrier with intense anticipation.

Then Nina watched as Luca’s entire face lit up the moment the barrier receded outward to encompass a much larger area.

"Yes!" Luca exclaimed happily.

But amusingly enough, the little Princess also witnessed just how quickly her pretty brother’s expression changed when a metallic humming sound suddenly reverberated throughout the area.

At this, she heard her big brother’s calm voice beside her.

"It’s the energy stabilizers."

Oh!

Nina remembered hearing about those earlier.

Apparently, unlike the manually installed pylons they had for the Aquaponic Complex, the original Energy Stabilizers were much more incomprehensible by nature.

So cool!

[ACTIVATE ENERGY STABILIZER?]

[REQUIREMENT: ENERGY CRYSTAL x 1]

[YES] [NO]
