《Dungeon AI》Chapter 10 - King of Vanaheimr part 1/3
Advertisement
The city of Vanaheimr. Inside of the king's main library. Six hours after Carol healed the female adventurer's hand.
From the perspective of King Tyson.
"Today. Today will be the day I find a way to heal her." It's been seven years since I last seen my daughter smile. Seven years since my daughter could last walk or even see. Today three scholars came back from the god's library of knowledge, bringing with them dozens of notes. Abilities and classes long since lost. I sat down and began to read.
The year is 262 of the gods awakening. We only started cataloging the classes and abilities from the past 250 years. Before that, the magic was too weak, and the gods were asleep. The Metal artifacts that fell from the sky brought magic back into the world. The skills and abilities We thought long-lost came back. But all the previous records of magic had been lost to time and war.
The god of knowledge The one who gave us our HUD offered a reward. To all those who came up with something new, a new invention, a form of math, a science discovery. Any would be given a single day in his library, so long as they brought something new to the world.
The three scholars had found a form of math and equation for faster than light travel from one of the artifacts they offered it to the god of knowledge, and all three of them were given a single day in his library. I asked them to bring back knowledge of old classes, and they readily agreed.
There were specific ways for a person to get a class, but it had to be done before the age of six. Once somebody turned six, they got their class, and there was no way to change it. Except if you became a priest then you would lose your class forever. The God you chose to follow would give you a class based off of their ideals. The goddess of growth and protection gives her priest the ability to heal most light injuries or re-attach limbs.
There were two classes I was focused on, one of them is called (paladin class). It focused on physical immunities and healing. The notes said the only way a paladin is made, is when a God chose them at birth.

The second class is called the (healer class). They focused on healing injuries, curing diseases and even reversing age. The healer class was passed down through bloodlines, but They were wiped out. Kings and nobles would kidnap them to have their youth back. They were treated worse than slaves, using their abilities to the point of exhaustion every day. Eventually, their mana pulls would give out and they would die from mana starvation.
There has to be a way to bring back the healer class. They couldn't have just shown up one day somebody had to have done something to start the bloodline. "All I have to do is find out how. And then I'll be able to bring the healers back."
Korbin, my Butler, walked into the room and started to talk with a serious and excited expression "Tyson, we found one, We found a healer in Irontown. She's level 8, and we have reports of her re-growing limbs. The mayor Hank went and checked for himself. He watched her regrow an entire arm on one of the adventurers. If we leave now, we can be there in two days."
Standing up, I began making plans and giving orders "Korbin get the warlords and the Royal guard ready to leave in the morning. Make sure the enchanted carriage is ready for my daughter. I need to get my advisors prepared to take over while I'm gone."
Korbin flinched at this "my King, The peace talks with the mountain tribes are happening in two days, you have to be here."
Gritting my teeth with my eyes closed "Korbin if you're right, my daughter might be able to see in two days." Opening my eyes, I look at Korbin "I don't want the first thing she sees to be a stranger," but I knew he was right. The Mountain tribes only respected me. If I'm not there, the war will start up again.
Korbin with pain on his face said "I know, and I'm sorry. I can send Millie with her. They were best friends all the way up until the accident, when Nole, stopped talking."
The King with sorrow in his voice spoke "you're forgiven. We can't send the full Royal guard now, but I can send one of the warlords and a few of the elite nights. I'll talk to her tonight and explain things. Maybe, she will finally speak to me."

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
