020. Discovered Again
"Sigh, why is everyone around me so incompetent? Yes, I may be perfect my self with no flaws, an existence that no one can compare to. Yet does that mean I have to lower the standards for those around me?" As he was speaking the mystery man looked down and sighed before kicking the severed head on the ground. Several beings of varying sizes and shapes saw this almost casual action and shuddered while thinking how glad that they were that they were not the ones that had messed up this time.
"It took her a full month to bring this to my attention, and yet the guild master in the area was informed of it within mear moments. How dare she claim to be my closest confidant and best spymaster. she was only number 17 at best. I don't even know why I ever bothered to spend any points on her. Oh well no point in crying over spilt various fluids, I might as well send my own "delegation" over to the new neighbour."
Kick, and a severed arm went flying.
"Yes, my Master, who do you want us to send? Only you in your all-knowing brilliance and handsome-ness have the wisdom and foresight to know whom should be sent." came a reply from a small being from the crowd, it was only 91cm tall, anorexically skinny with all its bones and veins showing with blue skin and red patches here and their, 5 horns of varying colours on its head, and a long spindly tail that ended in 5 spikes of the same colours.
After hearing the question the man glared at the creature for a moment causing it to squirm in fear, then answered "Hmm, the guild has a month head start, and they are a fair bit closer this time around, so I think we should send someone with a agl or spd build... Ah, how about Grockson?"

"F..f..f.. forgive me master, but you sent him to test the new traps last week..."
"Yes, that's right, how did he fair?"
"About 5% in before he was half frozen to death... and half electrocuted to death... so half and half makes him fully dead..."
"5%? he must have levelled recently, I didn't expect him to get past 4%. Then I suppose Farlonie will do."
".... Sorry oh lustrous and shiny one, she was behind the behemoth yesterday when you forgot to take it out for a walk, and well..."
"Oh, I hit darling little Snooky on the nose with some paper for that. I felt so bad that I forgot to take her out for walkies, but doing that on the carpet is a no-no. Oh well then whatever, just go to the barracks and pick out someone that has a spd or agl build, I don't really care who anymore."
Hearing this the small creature got down on its knees and bowed down, then while still on its knees crawled backwards out of the room.
~~~
"Damn bastard, If we weren't his creatures he would have been cracked centuries ago, either by his enemies or us. Whatever, I will just go get some random kid from the breeding chambers, give them the standard "invitation" package for a idiot newborn Dungeon, and send them on their way. If they faile so what, its there heads not mine."
~~~
"Wake up you buckets of swamp rat vomit, I said WAKE UP!"
Bang, thud, slash, BOOM, splash.
"Fine, just put away the pointy and sharp things, we're up, we're up. What's with all the excitement?"
"The Lords sent us a quest! Us, a quest! I can't believe they sent us a quest! We are still only rank 5, complete newbs. They must think we are the best newbs at the moment. And it's not just any old gathering or killing quest, it's an "invitation" to a newly exposed Dungeon!"

"What, don't joke with us Greta, they couldn't have given us such an important quest. It should have been given to someone like Grockson or Farlonie."
"Shut up Liff. I'm not kidding. They really gave the quest to us. Open your [Party] window and check the quest section."
Party Quests
Dungeon "Invitation"
A newly discovered Dungeon has appeared. No information is known about it other than the location and that it is a newborn. Go and give the "Invitation" package to it.
Report to the local contact after the mission has been compleated.
100% completion reward: 65 Large Silver coins and 1,000 party EXP.
"Damn it's really there. I don't know why they would give this quest to us but hot damn am I glad they did, look at those rewards."
"I know right, it's so awesome even the EXP isn't bad, we will be able to live like tier 1 Upper Fodder for a year if we finish with 100% completion."
"Alright, let's do this. We need to get our supplies ready. The Dungeon is not really that close to us, we are almost 20 thousand kilometres or so from it."
"Right, that's just like next door... if we lived in the countryside."

Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.
