《The Undead Dungeon》Chapter 2 - Obligatory Tutorial
Advertisement
When I woke up again, I found myself looking at a wall again.
Starting to get bored of looking at walls why can't that God of Truck Driver drop me off at someplace nice like a graveyard or something.
So this is Mondo this world seems really cramped. After looking around the room that I presume to be my dungeon I found that this place is fucking small. This dungeon is a 10x10ft room with nothing in here but me and that orb in the middle of the room.
Rather than a room, I should call this place a cave with stalagmite on the ceiling and rocky uneven ground filling up the place. Looking closely at the orb since it's the only thing here other than rocks, it looks like a shiny black pearl with blood red lights inside of if that seems to pulsate like a heart. It is beautiful.
What is it anyway, when I try to touch it my hand pass through it. Now that I look at my hand and body it looks blue and transparent does that mean I'm a ghost? Neat. Ok, enough fooling around Dominus said that I have an assistant that'll explain to me the basic about the dungeon.
"Mr assistant where are you?" I yelled.
Hello, I am Menu 3.0 how can I be of service to you, Dungeon Master?
"You are a talking blue box, I was expecting a fairy."
That was Menu 2.0, they were replaced because of the annoying and happy go lucky attitude did not fit too much with dungeon which resulted in them getting eaten, killed and overall ignored by their dungeon master.
"Wow, that's dark. Anyway, I want to ask you some things about dungeons, What is a dungeon in this world?"

Dungeons are places that have accumulated mana for a long time, the mana in the area then condenses into a crystal, gem or orb. This crystal then will be able to control the mana in its area of influence to change the area terrain, create monsters and traps also treasure. Examples of places where dungeons might spawn: Monster Nest, High Mana Density Places, Where Dominus Find Interesting.
When I looked at the last sentence I don't know if I should laugh or cry that God is really irresponsible. Well not that it concerns me anyway. I just got make the best out of what I have. "What is the purpose of a dungeon?"
I don't know
"What do you mean you don't know? I thought you were supposed to know the basic about dungeons."
Can you tell me the purpose of a human? The Dungeon God said that as long as you create an interesting dungeon I won't bother you. Do as you like. It is your dungeon create things that I can never imagine.
That guy can say good things when it counts maybe I should change my opinion of him from a giant asshole to a small asshole. "Ok then, so how do you build monsters, traps, and treasures?" I said getting motivated to make this dungeon.
Before you start making your dungeon you must first choose the starting monster for your dungeon. Here is the list of starting monster and their information.
Goblin
Goblin is small humanoid monsters with the strength and intelligence of a child. They are very adaptive to their environment and reproduce like rabbits. Their downside is that they are treated as pests so when goblin dungeons are found they'll be subjugated regularly.
"Goblins are too mainstream and boring. Next"
Kobold
Kobold is a bipedal monster with a lizard-like feature with the strength of an adult male. They have very sharp teeth and claw that can bite and tear through flesh. Their downside is that like goblins they are treated as pests so when kobold dungeons are found they'll be subjugated regularly, they also lack the adaptability and reproductive strength of goblins.

"They are also plain and boring. Next"
Slime
Slime is a slimy blob of goo that binds together by a core. They are acidic, can survive in any environment and have high resistant to physical attack. Their downside is that they have low resistant to magical attack, easily killed in their early stages and needs a lot of mana and time before they are useful.
"Nope, this isn't a novel I'll die in 5 minutes when people discover me if I choose slime as my starting monster. Next."
Mushroom
Mushroom is a monster and fungus at the same time it is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus. They are very diverse with many different species to choose from, small cost to create and maintain. Their downside is that they are fixed in their position, easily killed in their early stages and need time before they are useful.
"Don't pick this one"
"Menu did you hear a girl whisper don't pick this one?"
No.
"Ok then, since I believe in ghost and there are probably real ghosts in this world and she has warned not to picked this so I won't pick this one. Next"
Undead
Undead is a monster created by former beings who have died and become trapped between life and death. They are very diverse with many different species to choose from, can spread their virus to other beings. Their downside is that they have low intelligence, they are treated as evil by most intelligent species and they are hated by the Church of the Sun God and will be exterminated when an undead dungeon is found.
I suggest you don't pick Undead because when we get discovered we will definitely get exterminated. Dungeon already has ...
Before Menu can even finish his sentence I already press Undead as my starting monster.
Congratulations you have chosen Undead as your starting monster. Shit. We're screwed.

Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!

Legend of the Guild: Point Blank
Status: On hiatus indefinitely, because I'm going to be busy and the story is now at a place where it needs major reconstruction. Curt is a young gunslinger from a small town called Ore Town, situated in a barren wasteland known as the Dusts. While sabotaging the gang threatening his town, Curt is forced to take a leap of faith, literally. He plunges into the sea of clouds expecting death, only to arrive in an entirely new world beneath his own. Saved by a young girl using magic, Curt isn't too sure what to make of his second chance of life. When he meets a fellow Duster who had fallen years ago, he's roped into becoming second-in-command of a brand new guild. Guild duties aren't easy, especially as Curt is tasked to recruit fighters to take on the Grand Guild Tournament, where the winning guild takes home an enormous prize pool -- and most importantly, a mysterious ticket to the fabled "Star City" that exists above the clouds. Going with the flow only takes him so far, and Curt soon finds himself burdened with more responsibility than he bargained for, including the fate of the two worlds. ==============================Wordpress This webnovel is written for fun, and everything posted is essentially a first draft. Beware of typos and lack of creative descriptions — my main priority is to get the story out over writing quality. Still, I hope you enjoy the story. Updates are sporadic, but I aim to release a chapter (~2000-3000 words) at least once a week. Average release time is 1 chapter/3 days. I took inspiration from the lore of the MMO, Dungeon Fighter Online (Dungeon & Fighter), and there may be easter eggs or references to the game, but the story and characters have become wholly original and standalone. [Note: Profanity tag is up because profanity is present, but infrequent]
