... I opened my eyes, again. This time I saw not the endless darkness, but a huge chain of high mountains stretching across the horizon. However, I myself am in a not very dense forest which is dilating towards the mountains and thickening away from them. I'm not too high so I can't see more than that. All in all, I think I am in the foothills.

The problem is that I can see in 360 degrees. I'm dizzy by this, but nothing else, it's both nice and a bit disturbing. A normal person wouldn't just have ordinary headaches, but he would probably puke for a kilometer now. Well, a man would have done it. Apparently I'm no such person and you don't need a genius to deduce that. So what am I now? Good question because I don't know. I can't move. I can't talk. Nothing natural. After all, nothing natural sees that way. I would understand the echolocation, but I can see in colors.

*Poop*

Suddenly I see a box. Or rather a cardboard box. Did the cardboard just come out of the nothing with the Poop sound effect? Are you kidding me?

*Poop*

 *Poop

 *Poop*

The next few boxes jumped into existence. Now that I think about it, it's probably the books I asked for. Couldn't they have found a better way to move it? After that early mirror, it's just... ... how to say this... disappointing, and that' s it. Anyway, it doesn't matter now because a window popped up in front of me.

 

System message!

This is your favorite goddess, Tenebra Piacoe Dobili.

Since we haven't explained much about this world to you, you're now getting a one-time survival course. Terra Eternam is a world that has a system that helps beings use magic, aura or as a basis shows your statistics in numerical form. It has many more functions but you have to learn about them yourself. After all, no one is born with knowledge, right? The race we have chosen for you has initially several useful skills, one of which is the ability to check your status. To do this, just focus on your status. It's all from me, bye.

PS

I made up a new name for you. A mix of words from your old world. I hope you like it.

=====

Now I understand why she didn't say anything at first. When she opens her mouth and starts playing games, you know she's a big bitch. But let's not get upset. She's right. Nobody is born with knowledge... it's usually passed on from parents... Not that I have one in this world! ...SO SHE COULD EXPLAIN SOMETHING MORE!!!!!

On the other hand, maybe it's better that she doesn't "help" me, I'll survive longer. But the fact that she chose my name is depressing.

There's no need to think about things you don't have control over, so let's start with what I am. She said to focus on her status, but of course no clue what that might mean. Let's start with a word? Okay, status... The status... StatUS!!!... STATUS!

Nothing. So it's not a word. Maybe skills in itself. The skills of the bodies I mean. Focus... Focus! Focus...

Well, I got a weird name, and that's the best thing I can see. I'm a Dungeon. Yeah? Heeh... Let her be. I'm too tired to worry about it. At least most skills are self-explanatory. But really, what about that system pulled out of an RPG. Tenebra said what about status checking skills, it's probably about [Dungeon Appraisal]. Let's focus on that. Maybe it can do something else.

[Dungeon Appraisal] - The ability of a dungeon to check its own status. It allows you to check the status of the Dungeon, its resources, its abilityes, and explain them by accessing information from the Akasha Records.

It provides an skill [Appraisal].

Good is more useful than this (mumbling) goddess... It'll will keep me alive somehow. So let's start by evaluating all my statistics and skills.

... ... ...

So the report is this. In a nutshell, of course, because it's way too much. If you put it in the details, it is.

+ Name / Race / LV - Obvious. Next;

+ Alignment - Briefly, what deity or a godlike being do you worship. For slaves and their like, their master.

+ Hp/Mp - For those who have never played any game Life/Mana.

+ Dp - Dungeon points, a form of experience for a dungeon, used in a shop and some dungeon functions.

+ Supplies - Related to the [Internal Dungeon Warehouse] item box for raw materials in short.

+ Statistics - You can say that it's the physical abilities of my main body and that's why a lot is missing compared to a human being, for example.  After all, I am a piece of crystal, I have...limited physical abilities not to "brag" or anything.

+ Skills - Talents, innate or acquired abilities that are described and enhanced by the system.

+ Titles - No need to add anything, sometimes they can bring a free skill. Acquired automatically.

+ Servants - What can be added here?

+ Attributes - Thoughts, ideas we're related to.

+ Affinity - Elements with which we are related.

I've gone through everything in general, but now we're going to go deeper into this crystalline body that is me. Everything that can or cannot be explained. Ready?  Here we go!

[Living Artefact] - A title rewarding living artefacts, that's it.

[Dungeon Shop] - Connected to the Akasha Record allows for various interesting things, the main one is to buy new skills with DP.

[Dungeon Knowledge] - Remembers information about the Dungeon and its functions for you. Useful for giant dungeons.

[Territory of the Dungeon] - As the name says, the territory belonging to the Dungeon, the Dungeon itself and the surrounding area. Mainly to detect intruders before they enter the Dungeon. It consists of a unique, almost undetectable dungeon ether. Range increases with the level.

[Dungeon Body] Half material gathering of Ether held in check by vein-like streams of Mana. Ether and Mana belong to the dungeon and are part of it, through which the dungeon feels the outside world. The body of the dungeon is within its walls its lands, soaked in it, and connecting it to the dungeon core. It also in everything the dungeon has absorbed.

[Ether Absorption] It collects the natural ether from the territory of the dungeon. Effectiveness increases with level.

[Conversion of Ether] Converts Ether into Mana. Effectiveness increases with level.

[Dungeon Telekinesis] - Creates a tentacle from the Body of the Dungeon. Strength and dexterity increase with level.

[Dungeon Absorption/Removal] - It simply devours what's on the Body of the Dungeon and, to a lesser extent, the Area of the Dungeon into dungeon storage. It also can remove all things in the warehouse onto the body area and to a lesser extent the territory itself. You need to choose a target.

[Dungeon Body Expansion] - Creates a dungeon body in the ground, rocks, etc. or in the buildings. It devours Mp or Dp in return.

[Appraisal] - Target status check.

[Concentration] - Augments concentrations

[Heresy Resistance] - Increases resistance to Heresy

[Magic Vision] - It lets you see Mana

[Magic Detection] - It allows you to sense Mana

And talk about the exposition. Whatever you call it boring or not, you need to know what you capable of. After all, my life depends on it. Besides, it gives me some answers to questions I didn't think I wanted to ask.

As for those with hidden footnotes, it's probably about the goddess not wanting to let others know that we are reincarnations. This is obvious given that you can check someone's status. Well, that fits me. I don't want to stand out and live normal life... I'm a dungeon, so it's a little late for that. Isn't it?

[Concentration LV19] and [Heresia Resistance LV23] are probably from my time in the void. But then why didn't they give me skills from my old life? Maybe a reward for keeping my mind? Maybe it's the fault of the very shrapnel of the damn spell. That would also explain Heresy affinity, because I don't think the three of them have anything to do with it.

Let's take a look at the store and see if there's anything useful there.

Okay, that's a lot, but there will probably be more in the future. At least it's intuitive like buying in a grocery store. I have to buy something to have ability to make it later, yeah? Sounds like I have to buy a patent for them. Just like on earth. I can understand that. At least I won't have to use more DP than I have to. It's a shame that I can only buy items with DP. It' s better make them myself.

At least I'll start with some. Not that I can afford anything that makes a difference now. Looking at the prices, nothing I can buy now will help me too much. So until I figure out what to do next, I'll leave the points for later. Time to start expanding.

Now that I have not little understanding of my skills, I can plan something. Time will tell what will happen to me, but at least I'm not going to give up. I... I forgot my original name. Well Iriamet Suin Imisum, not good too long, Iriamet... then, let it be Iria, even cute, but it sounds kind of girly. That's probably why she chose it, that goddess.

Well, it doesn't matter. Me, Iri, I'm just starting my new life and I promise you, you nosy gods and goddesses, I won't give up. I will fight. I will find a way to get out of this forest and find civilization. I will have a peaceful life. I will not be your living entertainment. Especially you, Tenebra, I will find a god who is your antithesis and start praising him just to piss you off.

Okay, I'm done pumping up. Time to get to work.

"We'll see. I, on the other hand, can promise you an interesting and exciting life." - T
