With new fish, crabs, shrimps, squids, and all other types of animals and monsters swimming everywhere, the seas became a much more beautiful and diverse world. We were missing the sea turtles but we couldn't find any.
The Dungeon EXP was getting closer to the max value already, even though I've had to waste a lot of my own EXP, it was getting results! Next, we have to quickly introduce the rest of the materials we brought!
Ding!
[The Dungeon has assimilated [Different Kinds of Sea Algae (E Rank)] x35]
[The Dungeon has assimilated [Different Kinds of Corals (E Rank)] x47]
[The Dungeon has assimilated [Mushroom Jellyfish Polyp (C Rank)] x31]
[The Dungeon has assimilated [Poisonous Purple Mushroom Jellyfish Polyp (C Rank)] x21]
[The Dungeon has assimilated [Earthy Spiky Mushroom Jellyfish Polyp (C Rank)] x22]

[The Dungeon has assimilated [Green Coral Tree Fruit (D Rank)] x12]
[The Dungeon has assimilated [Blue Coral Tree Fruit (D Rank)] x10]
[The Dungeon has assimilated [Yellow Coral Tree Fruit (D Rank)] x12]
[You have spent 5.270 Dungeon Energy to assimilate the materials completely!]
[New Corals, and other kinds of materials have begun growing in the Dungeon's Third Floor!]
[Your Dungeon has gained 10.000 EXP for growing over 100 different corals and other materials.]
[The First and Second Dungeon Floor have reached their maximum capacity of new species. To introduce more, please wait until all new species settle down and reproduce to a certain amount.]
As we spread all the materials we found inside my Dungeon's third floor depths and also on the islands, the notification popped up as I spent the last bits of Dungeon Energy into placing everything together for the dungeon to properly assimilate.
And the EXP was just as generous as before… Whew, our efforts were not wasted, that's for sure!
Suddenly, the Dungeon System manifestation, resembling a floating cube, flew towards us and seemed to celebrate, conjuring all sorts of bright lights, and firing them into the sky.
Ding!
[The [Dungeon System] celebrates the Dungeon reaching Level 4!]
"Congratulations, Sylphy, the Dungeon has reached Level 4 thanks to everyone's efforts!" Alice celebrated.
"Oh yeah, how can I forget that?"
I checked the Dungeon Master Skill, and scrolled down where it showed the entire Dungeon's "Status", from its current EXP, Dungeon Energy, Facilities, and everything else.

"Oh? Was it rearranged?" I wondered.
Ding!
[The [Dungeon System] says that they have rearranged the Dungeon Status so it could look more presentable, by separating facilities and available monsters of each floor, things can become much clearer.]
"Indeed, you can also just toggle off the monsters and facilities if they become too large. It is mostly just to keep them all in check. New monsters might be added if a considerable mutation can be recognized as a brand-new species too." Said Alice.
[The [Dungeon System] says that even if monsters are of higher and higher tiers, if they're still the same species anyways, they won't be registered.]
"I guess that's the higher Tiered Rabbits or the Spiders haven't been registered, they're still the same species, they just got a bit stronger." I nodded. "Anyways- Ah, this power I feel… My Stats all increased by another two thousand!"
"Indeed! The bonus stats have increased a lot! The higher your dungeon level, the stronger you can become."
"Sounds amazing! But the EXP required has once more increased to a ridiculous level…" I sighed. "T-Two hundred thousand… This might take me years… I can't easily cheat it either, because I've reached the maximum quantity."
"You could always just make a fourth floor now!" Said Alice.
"Hmmm, I guess I could do it now, but I'll leave it for later." I sighed. "It is too much thinking and consideration, while I'm here enjoying the day with my friends. Sorry…"
"It's fine, we can leave it for later anyways." Alice said happily.
Ding!
[The [Dungeon System] says that there's no hurry! The Dungeon Master must sometimes just relax and enjoy the Dungeon they're building. It is a testament to their growth, effort, and strength.]
"I wonder what this Dungeon will become in the future... It feels like I am really just building my own little world." I sat over the sand in front of the tropical paradise island, watching my friends swim and play by the beach.
"Come on Sylphy, come play with us!" Aquarina called.
"Ah, comin'!" I laughed, running into the water.
SPLASH!
