《RE: Wisp of the Elves》Chapter 4.2 - Don't Make Me Watch Horrors
Advertisement
I am like a flare, speeding out of the shaft in the fastest manner possible.
Never underestimate a scared wisp.
My light was illuminating the walls of the mine as I ran for my life.
“...”
Did I forget to say I managed to only make few steps like that?
You see, I got no plot armor here.
The apparition simply needed 2 seconds to win over the fastest-wisp-I-ever-saw me.
And it bound me by using some crude ethereal chains.
I got no idea if magical wisps can accumulate forest humidity, but I swear I feel like I am sweating rivers now.
My teacher of math in groundschool let our class that one time watch a horror movie and I was scared for one week.
Thinking about strange bathrooms and small girls with long, black hair over their faces everywhere.
And that was knowing that nothing like that can happen to me.
I am not some green, shiny spirit of Christmas to expect peaceful ending here.
I know this can’t be good, when I am being dragged by a glowing monster to the deeper parts of an abandoned mine.
Let’s not speak about the fact that it seemingly got the same constitution, the rare, one-of-a-kind magical origin.
“Will it harvest me for my organs?”
I once saw, when I worked as an assistant, a movie called Bleeding Edge, starring a certain Miss Canada 2015, where they did those things.
I bet 2015 is the number of mystical body parts that can be harvested from me.
Sure, I am no prisoner of conscience, someone from Tibet, doing Falun Gong exercises, or a House Christian, but my new glowing brother is not asking me here for my hobbies or a religion.
“Can we communicate by glowing?”
Frightened more than I ever was, I started to think that by shimmering in a certain pattern I could try to say that I mean no harm.
Then, a sudden sound scared the living daylights out of me.
*ping*
You are being affected by ‘Aura of Dread’ The effect of your magical abilities and stats is reduced by 20%, and further to 30% due to the level difference between you and attacker.
Oh.
Magical skills.
I forgot I can detonate myself.
Oh god.
I got such a bright future ahead of me now.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
