《Dungeon Code》Not a chapter
Advertisement
Hi Peoples whom it concerns:
I hate these 'not a chapter' chapters as much as you guys, but here's the spiel.
TLDR: I'm rebooting this.
Long Version:
Real life has been rather ... unhappy for me and my family in general recently. One of the many reasons is that my brother isn't getting married anymore - the bride / bride's meddlesome family called the wedding off, and the day they were going to be married is today. Real life issues and absences aside, there are other technical reasons for this story to need a reboot.
I am still out here. I am still considering myself to be in the process of writing this 'book' for want of a better word, but I will have to re-do this one from scratch, as there are a few basic things in the story which need to be changed.
Originally, I planned to have everything in this story, as that was my idea of a good story - magic, technology, and supernatural all in one place. Then I discovered that is not what makes a good story. I also discovered I'm not comfortable writing about supernatural things - it brings me too close to the bad other side, and I am not prepared to do that. It is dangerous and illogical to place myself in unnecessary risk, even if I have the protection of the Big Man Above. To be honest, the whole supernatural / magic affair is not something to be taken lightly either when writing or reading.
I am a logical person as much as any evolutionist scientist out there. The law of cause and effect holds true no matter where you go or what you do (so does the law of entropy - which is why I am not an evolutionist). Where most 'scientists' fall flat on their face: they refuse to recognise the spiritual world as being a possibility. In doing so, they cripple themselves.

I have learned quite a few lessons about what to do when writing a book from this hessian undies first attempt. I hope to take those lessons, and not repeat the same mistakes.
So while I envisaged where this 'book' will go when I started, it will not continue down the path it has taken.
As such; I will leave the chapters here on RRL, and give others freedom to contact me to take this story up with the ideas I have put down. I will make a second attempt to put a pen to paper (fingers to keyboard). It just won't be the continuation of this universe as it stands. The attempt will retain the same basic premise - a dungeon core which needs coding / 'bug fixes' to operate. The back story will change completely - no more re-incarnation. No magic. No supernatural dealings - except plot armour. Technology is staying.
So, I ask your patience and understanding while I redux / reboot / re-write / re-do / etc this 'book', and I would welcome you all back in the next attempt to come along for the ride. I will edit this post with a link to the reboot when I have anything meaningful to put up; which I hope will be soon.
Yours faithfully,
DraconisViridis
P.S. You will probably be able to find me on the RRL Discord server from time to time - just check the usernames of the various dragons that appear...

Crucible - A Lost Dungeons Tale
All stories must begin somewhere, this one starts with the creation of the universe. What follows is a tale of chaos and order, of gods and monsters, of creation and destruction. The birth of a universe is a tumultuous journey, different entities working with opposing ideals, cooperation giving way to frustration and jealousy. It is in that dangerous concoction of emotions that the god of monsters created the first dungeon core. Forged in a crucible of dedication and desire, the first core held potential, the likes of which could surpass even the civilised mortal races. Unfortunately it was not meant to be, the core was lost in a tragic accident and its creator thought it to have been destroyed. Over one-thousand years later, the core reformed inside an extinct volcano. In time it would grow enough to learn and learn enough to grow. This is the story of the first dungeon core. Crucible, the lost dungeon core. Note: Story updates every hiatus*. *I appologise for the delay.

Series – Dice rolls, quests, and intriguing characters are only the tip of the spear. The Adventurer series includes playable game mechanics, maps, and more! Thrust into a world governed by tabletop RPG rules, Cire must survive an onslaught of wondrous and horrific challenges. His peculiar race, charismatic personality, and talent for turning negative situations sideways might just be the tools he needs to achieve his goals, or they may lead to his ruin. Adventurer Book II - Dawn of an Empire Short story prequel- The Lurking Lair: An Adventuer Series Short Story Summary for the LitRPG savvy reader: Looking for a LitRPG that is more tabletop traditional role playing game and less MMORPG? This is probably your cup of tea. Long term progression with a heavy slice of life element. Strong mix and inclusion of ancient Greek life, values, and myths. Hence, the world can be a bit more harsh and brutish than modern sensibilities. The system is tangible and knowable beyond the MC's insights. The MC is more of an everyman than someone specifically chosen for the experience. Author's Note: This is my debut novel. Up until this point, the only thing I have written of comparable length has been non-fiction and related to history. I am immensely grateful to all the folks who have given me feedback and helped me improve my writing.

HEIMDALLR
After his first life, Heimdallr felt he had lived a decent way; he wrote stories and lived a simple life, avoiding publicity and focused on promoting growth to the few who cherished his works. But after being reborn as Heimdallr Dagrsson, one of the many sons of Daesal's greatest warrior Dagr, he was put into a world devoid of wide-spread access to reading and writing. Instead, he was dropped into a world where fighting and death commonly reared their heads. Now, faced between his unsupported passion and his new life's innate talent and upbringing, he will have to find his new path. He will forge a new story that would make even himself dubious of whether or not it's fact or fable. HEIMDALLR is a story taking place in the setting created for another previous work of mine called KOBOLD. It follows a reincarnated person trying to wrestle between their old life and new life's wants and needs, all the while adapting to the situations that arise out of his control. Heimdallr starts out trying to survive and live a new life, all the while facing challenges and growth both fantastical and painfully real. Loosely inspired by Norse mythology and histories (names and some themes), spun into a fantasy, grit-rooted world. Skål! All content warning tags are applied so as to allow freedom of writing but there is no intent of excess or even regular use of these themes. Regardless of this, any and all uses will have dedicated warnings presented in the chapter whenever they are present! Reader beware!
