《Taken : New Beginnings》Chapter 7 - Exit
Advertisement
I blink my eyes open slowly once more, shocked to even open them once again. As I blink the bleariness out of my eyes, and try to take stock of the situation, I can't help but notice a number of things. For example, the crushing pressure over most of my body, as well as the painful throbbing from all of those areas. 'Didn't clear the wall then...' I realise, as, obviously the only thing that could cause this and leave me still alive would be the wall. If the roof had collapsed, I'd be dead, and there was not really anything else to fall on me. Of course, as soon as I fully recognise myself as being conscious, a wave of tables once more arrives;

'Phew, now that was an ordeal. At least the dungeon is over and done with, I was afraid I'd have to go crawling through those rat tunnels next!' Although still pinned under rock, I can't help but be overjoyed that I've managed to clear the dungeon both within the required timeframe, and rightly at all. The stat bonuses don't hurt either. Nor does the loot. Or the exit portal that merely requires that I be in this atea for use. Still, I'd best make sure that I was not unconscious for too long;
'Dungeon Timer'
Dungeon Timer 1h 14m 54sec remaining before dungeon collapse
'Well, that's less than I hoped...' I had hoped to be able to look around the area a bit, and perhaps kill some standard rats, just for the XP and loot. Sadly, with that timer, I won't have time for anything like that. Still, it's worth trying to get out from under here, so that I can see what was behind the collapsed wall. As my head is free, and I can see the area around me, strewn with clumps of old bricks that did not fall apart, I start trying to move myself that way. My arms are still free, as my back is holding up most of the piece of wall above me, and so I use those to try and move myself forwards. Unfortunately, I am on my front; so I can't even attempt to lift the wall slightly, so that I can get out. However, I can slowly wriggle forwards, causing scrapes, which I repair with mana regrowth (as my mana has regenned), making some progress. After about 10 mins of slowly and painfully getting out from under the wall, My back is freed and just my legs are still under. As I once more try to continue moving forwards, the chunk of wall breaks in two without the support of my back, allowing me to slide easily underneath.

Once more getting to my feet, and looking around the room, I can see debris strewn around the service coridoor. Turning around and lookin around me, I see a cave like room, with a more etherial light to the electrical ones currently above me. Clambering over the rubbish and entering the room, I can see a chest on ground level. I recklessly approach the chest, despite the dungeon scene, and open the lid. After fighting for many hours, and undergoing heavy trauma for the rest of the last 23 hours has taken it's toll on me, and I didn't even cinsider that it might be trapped. I still open the lid fully though, as a stalagtite shatters to the floor beside me. Within, is a small pile of gold, a book, and some other miscellaneous stuff. Swiping it all into my inventory, I run through the cave entrance again, mentally screaming 'EXIT PORTAL' As I pass the boundry into the service tunnel, with more stalagtites and now some rocks and bricks falling around me, a bright flash encompasses my vision. I made it to the portal!

Pocket Dungeon Lite
Based on the Pocket Dungeon original novel made by Stuckin (I asked for his permission beforehand). I do not know if this could count as a fanfiction as I made up many elements on the go so, for now, I will list this as an original but if Stuckin-sama would like me to change it I will be fine with doing so. This is somewhat of a self-insert but I made sure not to make the MC to OP. Also, the creator of the cover is Vurguy I tried to contact him to ask for permission but couldn't due to technical issues please go support him on Deviant Art and I don't own the picture so if he wants me to take it down than I am completely okay with doing so. As I am an improving author, I am glad to receive any constructive criticism or critical review I just hope that everyone will give me a chance before they yell at me for something or at least tell me what made them angry so I know what the issue is and can figure out how to deal with it. For now, my schedule is 1-2 chapters a week and if I am busy with either work or school 1-3 chapters every 2 weeks. I expect a bunch of chapters at the beginning around 5 or so and for me to continue from there. I will try my best to keep some chapters in storage for any time where I can't write for whatever reason. I will continue to change this part of the synopsis if anything changes in my update schedule. - From a thoughtful Author Pocket Dungeon is a widespread interstellar game that has captivated the attention of many races and civilizations. Nowadays in the 2300s anyone not living under a rock would grow up with a dungeon and learn to manage it over time as they make mistakes along the way. But as all things go there is always an exception and this exception can be found in Nadezhda Ledopad who had an overprotective family that didn't let him interact with anything but those they deemed worthy and safe. This overprotectiveness caused them to forbid him from gaining a pocket dungeon as they knew with his intelligence and specialties in certain fields he would become a strong dungeon master, quickly. This was something his family was very much against as they knew that his competitiveness and duty to maintain the Ledopad family's reputation would push him to win in the competitions that he would inevitably get invited too. This all changed when Nadezh graduated high school and moved to the Celestial Plane capital star as a Prodigal student in planetary conservation (major) and revival of species through DNA transferal (minor). His brother in all but blood Tet schemed to get him into Pocket Dungeons when they got there as no one would keep Nadezh from playing. Nadezh excited to join his peers in this famous game looked forward to doing so. But with this one decision, many futures changed and the Fates laughed as people of strong destinies meet together on this plane. Warning - This will probably contain LGBT+ relationships. You have been warned, I will not tolerate stupidity to the ninth degree in the comment section and I hope that people can be logical enough to GO AWAY if they don't like this kind of thing. If you don't feel comfortable with mature or explicit scenes I will put a warning in the chapters or parts with such and I just wanted all of you to know that this will be a long novel as with most novel I will write in the future so don't expect a deep romantic relationship anytime soon.

Chronicles of the Realms
Four Realms\One World These are the stories of the Realms, four entire universes seperated only by the thinnest of dimensional boundaries. Some of the Chronicles take place in only the home Realm of the characters in it, others span them all but what they all share is they change the narrative for the people who live through them. Just like life itself everyone is the lead in their own story and they affect those they meet, sometimes hugely and without knowing they have. In any case I hope you try out my story and stick around because it has only just begun.
