《Tails of life》POV Iris Morrow Part 2
Advertisement
"It starts four hours ago the day started like any other when an explosion happened in the lobby. As the managers went to investigate with security there was already some church member moving through the lobby and heading towards the records department." As we talked three staff members came up to us "sir the church is in the medical wing and the supply department."
"What about the records department and the research department?" "We don't know sir the last we heard from the research department there was an angel there and then they went silent." "That's not good I want you two to get to record department" "yes sir" as they ran off. Oh, director, I called my coven to come help they should be here soon.
"That's good to hear we'll need the help if there's an angel here as for you get to the lobby help the wounded and direct the witches to the research department." "Yes sir" as he runs off too "so anyway where was I Oh yes after the fight in the lobby was under control the angel came in breaking through our lines and vanished."
"This is when you came in how many did you encounter?" I took out six of them but there was a creature here it killed four of them. "Creature what do you mean." I don't know I did not get a good look but I killed them in a very beastly way almost like it had no humanity in it.
"That interesting I don't think we have something like that here." Then could it be part of the church and maybe they can't control it. "It's possible" as we make it to the medical wing. As we entered we see two werewolves fighting off the church well protecting some doctors treating the wounded.

As we ran in we attacked from behind I stabbed one in the back as he turns in to pine needles. The director runs his claws through one of their chests as he lets out a roar of a dragon everyone just froze. The wolves take advantage of the moment and killed the last four of them.
As we went towards the wolves "thank you director and you miss witch I don't know how much longer we could if lasted." You are welcome as they shift back to normal aren't you Jade Parker? "Yes, how do you know me" I'm Esmond's mother "oh well let me introduce you to my father George Parker."
Hello, Mr.Park "hello" as the director came over "is everything alright here" "yes we held them off I think that's the last of them here." "Good Iris we need to get to the records department." Ok "I'm leaving you two wolves here protect this place I'll be back "yes sir it's the least I can do for the help you have done for my daughter."
As we leave to the records department over the intercom "good afternoon all you unholy beast it's me your guardian angel it seems there are some stupid beasts out there that want to stop my fun if you want to play with me come to the arena." After that, it went silent we turn to the wolves "can one of you head to the records department please."
"I can go" "no I will not let my daughter do this I'll go" "but dad I can do it" "I know you can but you need to stay here a protect this place." "But" "no buts just do this for me please" "fine but next time I want to help more" "ok next time I love you" and with that, we left." As we part ways with Mr.Park we head to the arena.

Before we entered the director pick up the phone no the wall "all departments call in." Then of the intercom "med wing secure" "lobby secure" "research department all most secure" "this records department we need backup."
As he picks the phone back up "any available personal please go to the records department."
"I'm head to the arena now so I leave with these words." "I know thinks have been dark lately we are here for those who are scared, weak, and shunned by the world of man for if we fail to protect them here then they will die out there stay strong." With that, he hangs up the phone.
As he turns around I see tears in his eyes "let's get this fucking angel out of my building." As we entered the arena monsters are being suspended in the air by a yellow cross in front of the angel. "Welcome Mr.Director and well if it isn't Mrs.Morrow" "Erin Cross you need to stop this please."
"Hahaha, you think I'm going to stop you're just as weak as my human host and you both will be gone soon enough hahaha." "What do you mean by that angel?" "Oh, my dear director there is no point in telling an unholy beast such as yourself." "Release these creatures right now."
"With the blessing of my God, I will do as you commanded." As a smile crosses his face the light crosses vanish as they drop to the ground. "Please with God's blessing enjoy the entertainment hahaha." As he flies away as I run-up to one of them a white scaly tail hits me.
As I fly back to where I was I look a the director what the hell "look at them they are not themselves." What now "we have to fight" as fight it was becoming more difficult to stay standing may of the monsters have fallen as I kill another one I look over I horrified as I see the director fall to the ground. I ran as fast as I could towards him.
As I get closer I see he is covered in wounds oh my are you ok? " this is nothing" as I see a pool of blood around him. There at least ten more monsters left in the area as the director got up he fell over-breathing slowly "I....guess...I'm in ....pretty...bad shape" As he passes out. As the monster starts to close in I'm forced to use the last of my magic.
As I chant the spell the ground starts to shake then everyone one of the monsters gets sucked into the earth. As I start to pass out a shadow was over me I looked up to see a spotter leopard creature then it was lifted off the ground "my God truly has blessed me this day for the one seek Is the one I found." A bright light flashes in my eyes I all goes dark.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

STEM: The Topical Dungeon
Inspired by CORE: The Volcanic Dungeon by Ace Arriande and a spiritual successor to my writing prompt series Evolution Barricade, STEM is a series following the reincarnation of Kaden into the fantasy world of Brogdar. Reborn as a "DM" and a plant, Kaden tackles the challenges of being the agent of the chaotic god: trying to be his very own dungeon master. However, unlike other stories, Kaden is often making fun of and dealing with disadvantages that the normal reincarnated hero would never have to worry about. A parody of the normal tropes of isekai, STEM is a periodic series that is intended to release a minimum of once per week. There may be times where there is more than one drop, but those would be special occasions. Additionally, the content tags are simply to try and ensure my readers know these stories can encompass a large variety of things. They may not immediately be in focus, but they will all end up appearing!
