《My not so Peaceful Dungeon Life》Chapter 13: The Quest
Advertisement
Right now I am being dragged to an inn by Morrigan while wearing a cute dress. Thinking back on how this happened it started about 7 hours ago when I registered as an adventurer and was then promptly dragged to a clothing store. Morrigan and Gab have bought all the clothing that i have been trying on for me which is a great deal for me since I didn’t have any clothing. To my surprise though after the third store we went to when they ran out of money they started buying more clothes with my money too! I mean they are for me so I feel bad not paying for them but I wanted to save some money. After spending all of my money on clothing Morrigan pointed out I didn’t have enough money for an inn anymore. I wonder why. She then offered to let me share her room in the inn since she could just say I was a kid I could get a free meal too. The free meal sounds very appealing when you have no money so I decide to go with Morrigan.
We soon came to the entrance of the Wizard’s Tavern which Morrigan tells me won’t allow adventurers in if they are to gruff or dirty so she is the only one who stays there in her group. Silvia stays at a fancy inn and the men stay at an inn called the Bear’s Claw. Most people stay at the Wizard’s Tavern because it is clean and people there don’t get very rowdy.
As we enter the tavern the lady working greets us with a smile and asks,
“Welcome back, would you like dinner tonight?”
“Yes, one child and one adult please.” Says Morrigan.
I am still not happy about being treated as a child but there is no helping it since we spent all the money.
The clothing that we bought took up a lot of the room in my space magic but it can’t be helped since there was nowhere else to put it.

The lady quickly seats us and then promptly bring out soup, bread, beer for Morrigan, and tea for me. I like tea so I am not going to complain. Besides I don’t like beer anyways. I have only had it once and it tasted terrible.
I tear off a piece of the bread and dip it in the soup. I take a bite of the now soup covered bread.
“Delicious!”
“Yes it is I will have seconds please.” Says Morrigan.
Morrigan you finished before the waitress even finished leaving our table! Morrigan might be the type that eats more than it looks like they do.
After dinner Morrigan and I went to sleep.
When I woke up Morrigan had her arm around me and had started using me as a hug pillow in her sleep. She was gripping me to tightly to get struggle free so I decided I had to wake her up. I though I slept in late in my old world but Morrigan is something else. It must already be 2:00.
“Wake up Morrigan it is late.” I loudly said into her ear.
Morrigan luckily woke up without any further action.
After stretching her arms above her head Morrigan looked back down at me.
“You look sad Shiro what is wrong? If you want to do something to take your mind off your parents just let me know.” Says Morrigan.
“Eh?”
“You must be scared being all on your own after your parents died. Let me know if I can do anything to help.”
Oh right there was a setting like that. I suppose Morrigan decided that my parents must have been killed and not that I am a non human race that doesn’t have parents. It would be the logic assumption. I suppose Morrigan has been being so nice to me because she was worried about me. Although I still think she got carried away with buying clothing. I may have misjudged Morrigan’s character.

“No I am fine Morrigan. Thank you for taking care of me.” I reply.
“Ok, do you want to go to the adventurers guild to look for a quest today or do you want to explore the town?” Asks Morrigan.
I suppose we don’t have any money now so there is really only one choice.
“Let’s go to the guild.”
After eating a delicious free breakfast we head out to the adventurers On my way to the adventurers guild I decide to take a look at my adventurer card.
Shiro | Temporary Rank C Adventurer | 19 Years Old
“Hey Morrigan why does it say temporary rank c?”
“That is because I gave my recommendation as a c rank adventurer so as long as you prove that you can complete c rank requests you can start out as a c rank adventurer.”
“Cool! Let’s take a c rank request then!”
Once we got to the guild everyone was crowded around an employee who was standing on a table.
“Alright everyone. Recently a new dungeon has been discovered. So far there has been one adventurer death in the dungeon. Because of the adventurers rank the minimum rank needed to enter the dungeon will be C rank. Tomorrow morning there will be a party heading out to destroy the dungeon before it can become a threat to the area around it. Please sign up at the tables behind me if you are will be going.”
The whole room suddenly gets very loud from the various reaction people have to the quest. One adventurer team heads over to the tables and begins to sign up. I hear murmurs around me,
“If they are going the dungeon will be gone before we even show up.”
“No point in signing up now.”
“I almost feel sorry for the dungeon.”
They must be pretty good. If this where a RPG they either have the end game gear or the expensive cosmetics. That lady has two jagged swords that are both deep red and quite litter lay are glowing. Don’t tell me that is normal.
“Hey Morrigan let’s go to the new dungeon!”
I need to see what other dungeons use in this modern age so I can get ideas from them.
“Ok but let’s check with the rest of the party.”
“Hey we wanna do the quest what about you guys?” I ask them once we find them.
“What is the point those guys are going.” Says Jacob.
“Agreed.” Says Ross.
“We will be better off doing a quest where we contribute if we want any rewards.” States Silvia.
“Well then I guess it is time to separate our party then. It was nice working with you all.” Says Morrigan.
I guess they where a temporary party. They worked so well together when they where fighting the wyvern I forgot.
Wait up Morrigan you already are walking away?
“Wait up!”
Morrigan signed us both up to go on the quest (since I couldn’t reach the table) which was a surprise to the people around us who didn’t expect anyone else to sign up.
After that we left the guild and decided on what to do until tomorrow. Our schedule looks like this. First we will go to a weapon shop so I can see the cool fantasy weapons. Second we will go to the library so I can learn what happened in the black areas of the fairies memory. Third we are going to eat dinner. And fourth we are going to get supplies for the trip.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
