Chapter 191 Tool For a Quest
A princess?
Isnas was a city of princesses . It was normal that a princess lived here .
However, he and the princess differed too greatly from each other . Why would she ask for him?
Was this butler-like middle-aged man a phony?
However, Roland found it unlikely after thinking for a moment .
He was a Mage, and few people dared to deceive Mages .
Besides, he was a player that could be resurrected . Even if he was killed, he would lose nothing more than some EXP points and equipment .
However, since he was in a hurry to meet with his partners, he was going to turn the butler down, when he was stunned .
It was because he saw a quest notification: “Listen to the princess’s worries . ”
That was a blue quest .
Roland was rather excited… Finally! He had finally triggered an important quest for the first time . Luck was on his side this day .
Before, Betta had always been the one who triggered quests, and he could only look on enviously .
His friends would certainly forgive him for being late if he were occupied with a quest .
“Okay, lead the way . ” The butler was obviously relieved when Roland accepted his request .
The butler invited Roland to a carriage nearby . Then, he got into the carriage himself and escorted Roland into a heavily-guarded castle .
Then, in a study that was decorated fully in a girl’s style, Roland met Princess Evelyn .
The princess was very pretty, even prettier than Vivian .
But of course, she was not as beautiful as Margret, or the female angel that Roland met at Falken’s funeral .
Evelyn had blond hair and blue eyes, a typical look for nobles .
She seemed to be only around fifteen, but she was very calm and patient . Her body figure was quite attractive too .

However, Roland felt that the princess was incomparable to Vivian in terms of body figure .
A beautiful porcelain cup was delivered to Roland, half-full of golden fruit wine .
The maid bent before Roland softly and left .
Princess Evelyn sipped the fruit wine and smiled . “Mr . Roland, thank you for accepting my invitation . ”
“Princess, you’re too kind . ” Roland sat confidently and stared the girl in the eyes . “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Such a straightforward way of conversation was considered rude in the social occasions of the nobles .
However, Roland was a Mage, and the proud Mages were well-acknowledged to be queer and unapproachable .
So, Evelyn was not surprised at Roland’s bluntness at all .
“Was the big fireball that made everybody in the city feel that hell was arriving last night your masterpiece?” .
Was she going to hold him accountable?
But Roland still nodded . He didn’t think that Princess Evelyn would give him a hard time . After all, the name of the quest was “Listen to Princess Evelyn’s worries,” not “Survive Princess Evelyn’s hunt order” or any other battle-type quest .
“It was truly a horrifying view . My fingers are still shaking even now . ” Evelyn put on a weird smile .
Roland was curious . “Did you see it too?”
Evelyn slowly nodded .
Last night, she couldn’t fall asleep, so she had some snacks on the balcony outside of her bedroom .
She was enjoying fruit wine and some delicious cake when she sensed the frightening congregation of magic elements in the distance .
She turned around only to see an enormous blue fireball falling somewhere from the city wall .
The deafening explosion almost made her choke on the cake . She patted her chest a long time before she finally managed to swallow the cake .
Even so, her face was still red due to shortness of breath .

After that, she saw the tsunami of fire . Her nightdress was fluttering in the hot wind even though she was three kilometers away .
It was not hard to imagine how powerful the attack was .
“I don’t know who your enemy was, Mr . Roland, but I’m sure that they must be very regretful right now . ” Roland smiled . “I think so too . So, what exactly are you trying to say, Princess?” He found the princess too talkative .
The princess glared at Roland and said helplessly, “Actually, I heard about you before, Mr . Roland!”
Roland was rather puzzled .
“Young Bard is my cousin!” Evelyn smiled . “He talked to me about you a while back when he visited me . ”
Oh, that explains a lot . My identity has been dug out after only one out . The royal family is truly good at intelligence gathering . “Speaking of Bard, I’m planning to visit him in the capital,” said Roland with a smile .
It was truly his plan to ask Bard in the capital about long-distance teleportation spells .
However, it never occurred to him that Bard was related to the royal family . But it did make sense on second thought . Bard was from a grand noble family in the capital . It was not unusual that his family was related to the royal family by marriage .
“He told me that you’re capable of Language Proficiency,” Evelyn said in admiration . “He said that you picked up the spell by yourself!”
Roland nodded . “But it’s not perfect yet . ”
“You’re too modest, sir . ” Evelyn stood up and fetched a book from the shelf behind her . “I was wondering if you could translate something for me . ”
She opened the book and turned to a page that had a golden leaf as a bookmark .
Among the page of Hollevin words were a few sentences written in Elvish .
“This has been bothering me,” Evelyn said sincerely . “They’re ancient elvish scriptures copied from elsewhere . Only three people in Hollevin understand them, but I’m too insignificant to ask for their help . However, if I can’t understand these sentences, I can’t understand the following content . Who does ‘she’ refer to in the book?”
Just that? Roland cast Free Communication on himself and the princess .
“You can cast your spell on other people?” The princess’s beautiful eyes stopped briefly on Roland’s face, before she lowered her head and read the elvish scriptures . “She was the queen of a dynasty, the first demigod of the elves . She had been a rogue, a general, and the strongest summoner . Her name was Cocoyala, the most beloved daughter of the world tree!”
The sentences were short, but Roland sensed a long history behind the words .
The princess closed her eyes and then slowly opened them . “So, she was the queen of the elves . No wonder she did so many awesome things as a woman . Is it true that the elves once governed the world? Does her tomb exist too? Ah, how I wish I could see it . ”
However, Roland’s attention had been distracted by the system notifications .
Quest: ‘Listen to the princess’s worries’ completed .
“You’ve received 244 EXP points . ”
Evelyn’s fondness has been increased by ten points .
Huh? It was the first time that an NPC’s fondness was mentioned in the quest notifications . Was this NPC very important?
While he was still surprised, a new notification popped up .
New quest detected: Origin of the Elven Queen (Main Quest) . Roland’s eyes bulged . This quest was a gold one, and it was suffixed with “Main Quest . ”
He had never known how to pick up the main quest after it was interrupted . Little did he expect that he would resume it here .

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Changement : Version Face [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Face. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Ange, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got heads. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28317/changement-version-pile-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
