Chapter 347 – Khav-Srokzas

For the eighteenth floor, I created a huge, city-sized cavern. Well, not quite city-sized. It certainly looked that large, from the landing where the portal set you, but part of that was just magic making things look bigger than they were. I mean, the space was about a kilometer high and four across, so it was a bit smaller than Manhattan, and Manhattan was a mere fraction of New York City, especially when you added the metropolitan area and urban sprawl in.

However, for a space built underground? It was fucking huge. The centerpiece of the cavern was a giant floor-to-ceiling column of stone. For those who could see in the infrared spectrum, a band of heat could be seen slowly rising and falling along the column. This served the same role as clock-tower like Big Ben, showing off the time to anyone who could see it. The band of heat reached the roof at noon, and returned to the ground at midnight, enchantments ensuring that it kept a normal pace.

From the ledge the ‘entrance’ portal was on, it was easy to see that there was little, if any, free space on the ground in the city, as one might expect. The part that would have many people questioning things was how there were many buildings descending from the cavern ceiling, as well. At some points, the buildings almost touched those below. In others, it looked like the two buildings had almost grown into each other, like a stalagmite and stalactite becoming a solid piece of stone. Everything was done in the same style of architecture as Khav-Szarol, obviously.

This was the underground city of Khav-Srokzas, inhabited by the Dogik and their slaves. I decided to set up a series of noble houses that controlled the city. Most of it was just set dressing for different groups, but it would help continue the faction war from before, and lay the groundwork for what I had planned next.

The main goal of this floor was to work your way from this portal to the one that would let you advance further into the dungeon. However, this was a city, and you couldn’t just go murdering your way through it, or you’d get overwhelmed. No, to get through the city, you had to at least try to be stealthy, or you needed connections.

This floor wasn’t one that you could just complete in a few hours of work. I fully intended this floor to be an experience that would have teams actually staying on this floor for a while, as they worked their way through the Lower City, the part on the ground. Of course, with an entire city to work through, there would be opportunities beyond simple combat, which could give people all kinds of options.

Hmm. Another potential problem. Just getting through the first fifteen floors was already the work of two to three days, even for the groups that were experienced, and knew what they were doing. If they had to
