These three...

On the bright side, they are going back into that first bifurcation they avoided earlier.
>
Isn't that even better? Two birds with one stone.
>
And what do we do about her?
>
We don't have nearly enough EP for that! You know it!
>
Oh... Those...
>
I... did. Sorry bout that. We still need to get a room for them to stay right?
>
Can I make it like, so nobody can go in or out? Closing it off?
>
YOU EXPLAINED ME SHIT! But hey! Does that mean I can make the passages towards here so small they can only get here crawling like the extra corridors?
>
Large sized monster? What does that even mean?
>
Oh... Crap... But I still can make other paths smaller. Hehe...
>
So... I could make a windy path almost impossible for an adult human to go through without literally crawling? So long as it's not the path from the entrance to here?
>
Gloria, oh Gloria... So Naive...
System, make me a large room to the side of here. Make it like this:
...
The whole cave trembled for a second as minor yet important changes took place. Gloria watched in Awe as more than 50 goblins slowly showed up, pulling unconscious humans. Some of them were simply paralized, moving their eyes desperately trying to understand what was happening around them. Others were so disfigured they barely reminded her of humans anymore. Their whole bodies had been consumed by acid, some, all the way to the bone. Yet, they were still alive, their blood and gore painting the floor red as the goblins pulled them along into the newly created room, better yet, Dungeon.
As soon as most of the goblins came out of the long corridor, the room shook as it contracted. Only a small opening remained, barely large enough for a human to get in.

Yet, Gunther knew leaving was almost impossible... Even air would have difficulty getting out of there.
On this side, the hole was near the bottom, but on the other, it was almost 15 feet up, near the ceiling, and the corridor that was only 10 meters long before, now was a complicated maze in the shape of a three dimensional Tesla Valve. The shortest path still would take several hours for a human to go through, as it snaked into the wall.
It was almost impossible to hear what was taking place in there.
A group of 10 goblins suddenly appeared from the shadows behind the dungeon core, and slowly made their way into the newly made small tunnel.
>
Of course not... I researched it while you slept! You idiot!
>
Yeah right. Fuck you. but there you go.
System! Show me the status of one of them.
>
Oh... But it was dirty cheap...
>
Yeah... Apparently the Sadistic and Insanity traits are a bad thing so their cost started to lower... It's mostly because it says if they get bored they'll turn onto other monsters and murder them...
>
Oh... But I have the Goblin Commander Title... It should be fine... I won't let them get bored, see... I spent over 1000EP on Lower Healing potions so they can have their fun and all...
>
Why wouldn't I be?
You are a confusing person you know. Why would I not be a human? Just because I'm torturing them for points and don't care? I'm not even from this world for fucks sake.
>
>
... Fuck you System!
I'm a normal person. N O R M A L!
Screw both of you
Oh fuck this shit! I'm out!
---------------------------------------------------
*Rumble*
"The fuck was this?!"
"I have no idea... But it's not a good sign... We better find that bitch quick!"

"You still on about this? Why don't we just go back and get reinforcements? This is a dungeon Gahan! A dungeon!"
"I'm not leaving this hellhole without her! I've paid a huge price already Garth! We lost him! I'm not going out of here empty handed!"
"Okay, okay. I get it. But let's leave as soon as possible. This place is getting more ominous by the minute! We haven't found a single enemy all this time."
"I know that... still..."
The pair of mercenaries walked up, advancing once more after the false alarm.
Beneath them, three more mercenaries made their way back towards the Rally point.
*CRACK* *BRACK*
"GAHAN!"
"GARTH! JUMP!"
As the two jumped up. The whole flooring of the cave they were in collapsed. Into the cave system below.
"RUN BACK! THE CEILING'S COLLAPSING!"
"FUUUUUUUCK!"
"HELP!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
A scream of pain resounded elsewhere in the dungeon, in a closed room where nobody but two people could hear.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
