The Dungeon started to vibrate a little as a reaction.
This vibration got stronger as the process progressed.

[Successfully created, would you like to edit it?]
The vibration stopped.
"Yes!"
Suddenly, I found myself in a huge empty room, and a status screen appeared infringe of my eyes.
"It feels like the first time!" I smiled.

[Floor 2]
Name: //not given//
Size: 4000km x 4000km x 4000km --> multiplied by 40 due to [CS] --> 160,000km x 160,000km x 160,000km
Time: 2 times faster ---> multiplied by 40 due to [CS] ---> 80 times faster
Settings: none yet

"What the!"
"Is this normal? Double the time on the second floor."
"I need some information!"
"Speaking of which, I haven't received any information yet."
...
Since no information had come so far, I suspected that there were none for this level up. It was indeed strange since it was an evolution!
"Nevermind!"
I glanced at the information again.
"Incredible!" I exclaimed once more.
The size was unimaginable.
The volume of this space I was currently in was, let me think... 4,096,000,000,000,000 cubic kilometers.
„Incredible!"
"And what is this?"
[Gravity], that was a new icon. I clicked on it, and a new interface popped up.
—————
Gravity:
[Gravity Point]:
---> sets a point where gravity pulls everything towards
---> 9.81 m/s²1 [300 EC] (normal Earth gravity)
---> double gravity [600 EC]
---> triple gravity [900 EC]
…
[////locked////]

I ignored the locked Icon and focused on the other thing.
I could apparently set a point to create a planet-like floor.
I could deduce that, along with the initial size of the floor, which was already enormous, theoretically, I didn't need the gravity point because I could create a planet as large as Jupiter.
This should already have its own gravity.
However, since I didn't know how the rules of physics worked in the Dungeon, I decided it was safer to set a gravity point.
"Now I understand why the species is called 'World Dungeon!'"
I created a point with four times Earth's gravity for 1200 [EC].
After creating the gravity point, I felt the energy of the Dungeon changing around me.
It was as if the very space itself were pulsating, and I could almost feel the force of gravity around me.
For a change, I decided not to fly and noticed how I was slowly drawn towards the gravity point.
It was easily visible, a luminous sphere in the center of the room with a diameter of ten meters.
As I approached the gravity point, I felt the increasing intensity of gravitational attraction. It was as if invisible hands were gently pulling me towards the center.
When I reached the edge of the luminous sphere, I suddenly felt gravity four times stronger than what I was used to on Earth.
My body became heavier, and I could only move laboriously.
With adjusted gravity, I moved slowly towards the gravity point.
Reality seemed distorted around me.
I could see how spacetime was curved around the point, as if it were generating a miniature singularity.
Once I reached the point, I felt like I was standing on a tiny world. Gravity pulled me down, but I could still look up and examine the white ceiling.
I could envision creating mountains, seas, forests, and entire ecosystems on this mini-planet.
The possibilities seemed endless, I thought.
"Yippie!"
I exclaimed with genuine excitement, I have the rare feeling when a rush of dopamine floods your system.
"This is like that time when I found out I was going to the moon!" I said with joy in my voice.
"Oh man! Thinking about that night makes me think of the same night happenings. Not good!"
Since I had wandered into unpleasant thoughts, I refocused on the current situation.
Since I wanted to plan the planet, I decided to sketch it out first.
So, I went to the [Creation] icon first because I also wanted to see the properties of my third [CS].
"Speaking of which, isn't there a brief explanation in the status screen?"
I immediately accessed the status screen.
____________
Characteristics:
• Space (unique)
--> The first Floor is 20 times larger. With each Floor, the multiplication doubles. (Control Room is not affected)
--> Unique living beings, inanimate objects, etc.
—> the material you created is also multiplied
• Time (unique)
--> Time on the first Floor passes 20 times faster. With each Floor, the multiplication doubles. (Control Room is not affected)
--> Unique living beings, inanimate objects, etc.
—> [EC] earnings from the floor is also accelerated
• Consciousness
---> You can more easily create your own living beings. Cost is reduced greatly.
---> For these created beings, you can provide a soul/consciousness/status.
__________
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
"Well, well, well."
I hadn't expected this. I thought I could create conscious beings right away.
"I would have searched for quite a while if I had started looking for conscious beings now!" I chuckled awkwardly.
Well, I thought, I have more creative freedom now and can create whatever I want
I thought about the [Living Beings] icon, and as always, it presented me with the choice between "Ready-Made Beings" and "Create Your Own" icons.
For the first time, I opened the latter, and a new interface appeared before me.
_________
[*Image of the being*]
[Mana Veins]
[Materials]
[Soulstone]
[Structure]
[Skills]
[Knowledge]
[Attributes]
...
____________
Since I didn't know what it looked like before, I was surprised by its simplicity.
„Is it because of the [CS]?"
There were many options to choose from, and I had to make a decision, and the new being would be displayed to me.
I opened one option and decided to postpone it since the whole thing wasn't exactly cheap.
The cheapest Mana Vein system, for example, cost 100 [EC].
So, I teleported back to the Control Room to plan.
