Chapter 437: Abyssal Dungeon
The void around him pulsed faintly, waiting to be molded.
Kaiden folded his arms and thought aloud.
"Before I start designing kill corridors and lava rivers, I need to know where the entrance is. That’s where all the invaders come from."
He turned his gaze around, scanning the blank horizon. Nothing but darkness welcomed his sight. Then, after a minute of searching, something flickered at the very edge of his vision.
Kaiden floated toward it, gliding through the black expanse. The deeper he moved toward that glow, the more the shimmer sharpened. Soon it was clear: a door-like outline suspended in the void, a gate-shaped distortion of reality.
"Found it."
He could now finally see the light where the outside world would connect to his domain.
Hovering close to it in the air, Kaiden could feel it. That force of dimensional energy, the threshold where invaders would one day set foot.
He grinned in excitement before even getting started; he was already having great fun. "Alright, let’s see what I can do to make their welcome memorable."
A simple thought summoned the interface again. Layers of text and icons spun around him like a digital storm until one menu caught his attention:
[AUTOMATIC DEFENSES]
Turrets, glyphs, traps, barriers. These were defenses meant to protect key choke points.
