Chapter 701: Alien (End)
[Could that be fake? Am I blind? What the hell is wrong with the player’s score who ranked first on the official website?!]
Posted by: Madrid Is Incredible
[1475 points??? Holy sh*t! A mistake made by the system? The one in second place has only 360 points . This is only the first day of Proxy War . The powerful players of the three major guilds may not have finished their games yet . But his score insane!]

[It is said that the Proxy War quest’s difficulty is much greater than that of the ordinary quest . Many people failed their first game, as far as I know . Of course, they are the kind of agents that are not that strong . Their score should be around 70 . But 1475… Who the hell is this player with the name, Simon?]

[Simon is a newcomer . We met at the auction at the end of last year . At that time, he didn’t even know that he could team up with others to complete the game . ]

[Is that supposed to be a joke? How can a newcomer become so strong in less than half a year? This can no longer be considered growth . This is mutation!]

[I want to know more about him too . ]
Posted by: Professor
[Maybe someone else has the same name as him . I have seen three players with the name Ash . Anyway, we can come up with all kinds of random names for ourselves . ]

…
After the start of the Proxy War, this had been the hottest topic of discussion on most player forums .
The player with the name Simon had become the most discussed topic . Having obtained an unbelievable score in his first game, some people even suspected that he must have completed three games in a day .

The mechanics of the Proxy War’s dungeon differed from that of an ordinary game . Players were required to clear three games within 45 days . In theory, as long as the players did not need rest or recuperation, they could complete all three in one go .
Even if the score that Simon acquired was divided among three games, the figures garnered were still ghastly . And if this score had been obtained from a single quest, it would be even more mind-blowing . Simply put, even if this player called Simon did not participate in the second and third games, and he would still qualify for the next round of Proxy War .
Less than a day later, another player who went by the handle of ‘β’ scored over 1,000 points . And this time, someone happened to have just refreshed the list, indicating that just a few minutes ago, β’s score was, in fact, zero . In other words, β’s score had been acquired from a single game . This individual now placed second with a score of 1007 .
The third player on the leaderboard was not as mysterious as the first two . Pegasus was the current president of Silver Wing guild and holder of 3 Grade-B game items . He scored 872 points in the first game, and if it were not for the mysterious Simon and β, he should have topped the leaderboard by now .
It could be seen from this list that the gap in strength between the agents might be larger than most of the people imagined . For a game of the same difficulty, the few people at the top of the leaderboard and the other ordinary players were not on the same level .
Zhang Heng did not care too much about his ranking . On the contrary, Rabbit sent a text to Zhang Heng through WeChat and asked if he was Simon . After Zhang Heng admitted that he was, she stopped asking anymore . Perhaps, it was because she witnessed how Zhang Heng fought with the Sphinx and saved her . To her, Zhang Heng was the best player, and she wouldn’t be surprised even if he scored more than 1,000 points . After she got the answer she wanted, she happily proceeded to her homework .

After that, Zhang Heng also ran into Shen Xixi at school . It seemed Rabbit had told her that Zhang Heng was Simon, and she congratulated him when they met . On the other hand, Shen Xixi did not have the time to do the quest yet .
When she saw Zhang Heng, she hesitated and asked, “Do you remember them in 1810?”
“Yes . ”
1810 was the flathead man’s code name . He and his team participated in the previous Sphinx hunt . As agreed, they took away the stunned Sphinx with them .
“Their team had an accident on their way back,” Shen Xixi sighed .
“What do you mean by accident?”
“Someone attacked them . ”
“Who?”
A strange look flashed across Shen Xixi’s face . “Dumbledore,” she said .
“Who?” Zhang Heng wondered if he had misheard .
“Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts’ principal in Harry Potter . ”
“I know who Dumbledore is,” said Zhang Heng . “The question is, why did Dumbledore attack them?”
“It must have something to do with that Sphinx . 1810 said that Dumbledore used a stun-spell on them when they crossed paths . ”
“That’s the spell from “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire . ” The movie was still clear in Zhang Heng’s mind . “Did they become unconscious or frozen after the spell was put on them?”
“1810 said that the feeling was more like the kind of coma that followed an electric shock . After getting stunned, those that didn’t fall into a coma would enter a state of trance . They would lose the ability to move around and could only watch Dumbledore rescue the Sphinx from the trunk . ”
“That shouldn’t be a big deal,” replied Zhang Heng . “At most, the Sphinx would only carry a Grade E or F game item . ”
“That should be the case . However, after Dumbledore saved the Sphinx, he walked a few steps but suddenly stopped and turned back . ”
“Did he forget his wallet?”
“Unfortunately, that wasn’t what happened . After Dumbledore walked towards them, he carried the unconscious Yogurt with him . Oh, Yogurt is one of the two girls in their team . She was the smaller girl . She named herself with such a cute name because she likes yogurt . ”
“Dumbledore kidnapped her?”
“Yes . This incident angered 1810 and his team . They could not do anything to stop him . For the past week, they have been looking for… Dumbledore’s and Sphinx’s whereabouts . However, they never showed up afterward . ”
“…this experience is really magical,” Zhang Heng shrugged after listening .
“I know you, and 1810 started off on the wrong foot,” Shen Xixi said . “1810 is willing to apologize for his impolite behavior, and they hope that you can help them . ”
“Why me?”
“They saw your abilities that night, and your score in this Proxy War is outrageous . They consider themselves as independent players, and they are quite skillful . However, they are still rather ordinary, building no rapport with any of the major guilds . As for me, I do know a couple of elite players, but they have been quite busy with the Proxy War . I think you are one of those rare ones who completed the first game so quickly . By the way, they are willing to pay you with game items and game points if you help to rescue Yogurt . ”

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!
