"It has to be a dinosaur! Tyrannosaurus Rex or Megalodon" [Dana]

"Be serious" [Sas]

"I am!" [Dana]

"The only skeleton frame available to us is this one given by the giant, we are not even sure what kind of monster it is, so how will the doll turn it into what you want?" [Sas]

"Surely you can, right?" [Dana]

"I'm sorry... I can't" [Doll Diana]

"Wait, wait, wait! Don't cry! Don't cry!" [Dana]

"I'm sorry if I disappoint you" [Doll Diana]

"No, of course not" [Dana]

"Boo!" [Sas]

"Boo Boo!" [Diana]

"I can't believe I raised Dana to be a bully. What did I do wrong?" [Nar]

"You never raise me!" [Dana]

After the doll made another layer of the dungeon specifically for this fake boss, it's time to decide what the boss will be. Since this is a dungeon that is rich in mirage mana and has a theme like that of a house or castle, several criteria needed to be met, but the most important thing is that the fake boss must be able to adapt to this crushing intensity of mirage mana. 

According to the doll, the dungeon can make one out, but, it requires high amount of energy, so, the dungeon and especially the doll will be left vulnerable afterwards, so after deciding the fake boss, Sister Khamisah and I will be here, protecting the dungeon or more specifically the doll from any harm.

"We have a lot of utensils, so it will be nice to have a boss use them as well" [Khamisah].

"It's better to use it as a raw material for the reward as well as a minion monster" [Merlin]

"How about fairies?" [Calypso]

"That is only what you want" [Dana]

"Meow" [Fie]

"Not you too, Fie!" [Calypso]

We really do have different items available. Name it. A table. Chair. A spoon. Organ pipe. Sword. Shield. Spear. Bone of a monster given by the giants. Nun and priest clothes given by the church. The crafting club gives us various dolls. Almost all of them are common household items that can be found in a house. 

"First, how about we decide on the theme for this dungeon. You know, back in Emas, the most famous dungeon is the mineral dungeon. In Artic, it's the Ice Dungeon, so surely this dungeon could use a theme" [Nar].

"Mirage, and with what we have here... Castle? [Diana]

"Close, but I was thinking more of an opera" [Nar]

"You're not making sense" "Ohh I get it!" [Dana] [Diana]

"That's my little sister for you!" [Nar]

"Should I ask the manager or Miss Vita's opinion as well... but no, that will make everyone know about it... Hmmm..." [Diana]

"I see. So the first floor is like a village, and as you go deeper and deeper, you will encounter the fake boss in a castle" [Sas].

"Wonderful! It's like an orchestra, only the actor is adventure" [Merlin].

The doll got a little confused, so I explained it to her. From what we gather, the dungeon can process it and turn it into a decent reward for the adventurers or mercenaries that come to challenge the dungeon. At the first level we can make a village like theme where the reward or monsters available will be something like a doll wearing a kettle as armor, fighting against them. The reward will be the same, but with more variation. 

As you go deeper, the theme changes from a village to a commoner's house to a noble's house to a duke's house to a castle! This way, we can make the most of every item we are given.

"I get it now! That way, the organ pipe can be used in a noble house. Maybe even the nun and the church clothes can be used" [Dana].

"True. Some puppets or puppet monsters can use the clothes, or as we mentioned before, they can be processed by the dungeon as a reward" [Nar].

"You're so smart, Nar!" [Diana]

"Smartest brother!" [Doll Diana]

"Damn right I am!" [Nar]

"Tchh..." (Then I'll think of a suitable fake boss to claim the title of Smartest Brother) [Sas]

With everything planned and laid out, it's time again to think about the fake boss. Since each of us gives a different answer, we decided to just inspect the bone and skeletal frame that the giant gave us. It's big and heavy, almost as big as the giant itself. I'm not sure why the giant kept it in his cave back then, but since they're willing to leave with it, I see no reason not to take it. 

"This is... Strange... As if this bone is trying to hypnotize me" [Sas].

"You're not wrong, even I can feel it. Maybe the giants think that Diana can baptize it for them, so they gave it to her" [Merlin].

"Hmm... Maybe the Hanging Treant knows something. Let's ask him" [Diana].

"I see no reason why not" [Khamisah].

And we ask the Hanging Treant, and to our surprise, this bone isn't one of a monster.

"It is actually several bones fused together. At its core is a powerful curse that attracts those around it. Those who are hypnotized by it will worship it, spend their day cleaning, worshiping, and doing nothing but praise after praise. They forget to sleep, eat, and defecate until they die, and when several creatures die, their bones fuse together, hence the bone in front of you. I'm sure the Wise Witch knows what I'm talking about" [Hanging Treant].

"Ohh. So it's a Bone Saint. Been a while since I found one" [Merlin].

"What is that?" [Diana]

"And is it safe for us to use?" [Khamisah]

"Hmm... I think I have a good idea for the false boss. A fool or a jester with that bone saint" [Merlin].
