Dungeon Core Cultivator

Desire Cicada! These are the three conditions for my next life!

One! Like the path of the lone cultivator, I wish to remain detached and peaceful, with a chance to progress in a way that is both riveting and self-oriented!

Two! If I must associate with others, it will be in a way that is similar to... a sect. Yes, a sect! But, a rather... unorthodox, independent sect that still, at its core, follows my own ideals, my own nature, and my own whims!

Three! My progressions will each bring about a compelling reward; a glimpse into a higher state of enlightenment and being, for that, is the very nature of cultivation itself!

[Cultivator, your desire has been judged.]......

[Core-human integration has been initiated. Congratulations, you are now a Dungeon Core.]

[Your mana is currently expended. Mana must be obtained by natural inspiration or progress.]

H-huh? Mana? Dungeon Core?

Zhu Quan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

What in the nine heavens is a Dungeon Core!?
