The storyline of 'A Dungeon in My Basement' manga involves a protagonist's unexpected encounter with a hidden dungeon beneath their home. This leads to a series of challenges, discoveries, and encounters with various creatures and magic.
When I saw your question, I immediately thought of the novel,"Special Armor Traps Master." Although it doesn't completely match the side quest you mentioned, the protagonist in the story is also searching for ancient treasures and unlocking the mechanism. With the mysterious ancient secretary, mechanical beasts with all kinds of functions, and the Power Emperor Martial Strategy that no one had ever successfully cultivated, he crossed the void and set foot on a foreign continent. He took the risk to track down, explore treasures, cross the Demon Realm, and successfully decipher all kinds of secret codes and mechanisms. This was a true adventurer! I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
The morgue was usually located in the basement of the hospital or in the area adjacent to the operating room and emergency room. In addition to the mortuary, the basement of the hospital might also include a parking lot, equipment room, medical record room, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine department, canteen, and library. Therefore, not all basements in hospitals were morgues. They had other functions and uses.
She might have survived by finding sources of water. There could have been a leaky pipe or some stored water containers in the basement. For food, perhaps she was given small amounts sporadically by her captor, or she found some old stored food items that were still edible.
It depends. A basement may count as a story in specific situations. If it has a significant amount of living or usable space, is fully finished, and is an integral part of the overall building structure in terms of design and function, it could be regarded as a story. But if it's just a small, unfinished storage area or crawl space, it usually wouldn't be counted as a story.
