Chapter 1
[Congratulations Mystic! You have discovered an unknown tablet.]
[Would you like to take a closer look? At your own risk of course..]
As a pursuer of truth, my zeal for greater knowledge overtakes my usual cautious nature.
I focus my mind.. as I seem to grasp a profound law... runes and strange symbols start to align... "Wisdom stat insufficient" jolts me awake from the profound state. I stare blankly for a moment before then of course start cursing and grumbling at the stupid tablet.
Then with a flash of lightning and the pitter patter of rain, a black-hooded robed figure appears seemingly out of nowhere... Out of the corner of my eye, the intimidating figure stands silently behind me.. the rain continues to increase.. I start to sweat... neither of us move.. I bolster up my courage as I prepare to face this enemy. I slowly reach for a scroll from under my robe but alas I am too late.. the figure moves with lightning speed, realising any hope of defeating this enemy must have been a joke. Maybe I just wasn't cut out for this line of work I muse to myself. The figure is already upon me as I sense death approaching.. "Mast..er this is for.. you, I bel..ieve you dro..pped it" I blink, as I take a moment to recall that this is in fact my most trusted and only apprentice Jack.
Jack while a quick-witted fellow, the cunning look in his eyes is quite disturbing at times. As I am of course an upright and honest individual, having such company reflects poorly on me, but alas this world is too frightening to be by myself. The black figure takes a knee trembling before me. I find that quite odd but don't press the issue... just attributing it as one of his many odd quirks. Taking a look at the runic tablet in his out-stretched hands.. the glowing symbols seem to mock me.. a cold look emnates. Jack seems to tremble with greater intensity.. "The tablet is yours Jack, I have no use for such elementary knowledge" "Yes yes of..course ma..ster.. forgive me.." "...." Looking at him for a moment dumbfounded. I start to question if it is healthy for me to keep such a disciple around.

Shaking my head to clear my thoughts. "Ahh my boy Jack, let's us depart" The two figures slowly disappear into the forest. A while later, the sound of birds chirping could be heard once more as the forest returns to its peaceful state.
To be Continued.

The Dungeon Child
Argus was a dungeon, sprawling for miles under the cities of man above all the way until a human, angry at the death of one of his companions, murdered him. When he discovered where he was, he found that he had come back to life as nothing more or less than a human being, complete with its own nervous system, organs, and brain. Worst of all, his precious System is gone, and he has to actually grow up. How disgusting.

"I'm Screwed" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story uses the system derived by Puddles4263 in Randidly Ghosthound. I've incorporates the Path's system into the leveling of this story. Some of the beginning paths will be similar or the same as I thought that the starting paths were very logical on how a system should start. The stories will be completely different as the characters and story arcs will be completely different. Again, thank you Puddles for allowing me to use your system, really appreciate it! I also wanted to thank ProFound Magician. Has a lot of insight into a story development and as his system is based on Ghosthound, I saw a some beginning stage skills that should be thought of in a character just starting out. If you haven't yet read Ghosthound or Genesis System you're in for a real treat when you do! Thank you both I hope my use is seen as an homage in the beginning. Hopefully my story can live up to the system.

All World Online
Damien Close, age 19, becomes a quadriplegic after an unfortunate car accident, losing all function of his body from the neck down. With his parents in shock and his best friend suffering from unbearable guilt, Damien finds himself without much support. Being unable to even take his own life, Damien struggles to get past each day, looking for something to live for. With every passing day, Damien becomes more solemn and impassive. Three months later, Damien has almost given up, but to his surprise something unexpected happens. He is given the chance of a lifetime; to take part in a study focused on researching the effects of VR games on quadriplegic patients. Authors Note: If you find that the dialogue from the prologue to chapter 5 seem to be not that smooth, I apologize for that, it was my first time writing a fanfic so the dialogue was not in a format that is ideal. However, due to reader comments and some research I will try to attempt to improve the dialogue from chapter 6 and onwards. I may or may not come back to edit the first few chapters since I would have to rewrite most of it and I would rather spend that time writing out more of the story.
