《Dungeon Tale》Failure

"Enemy attack....
Marko shouted in bewilderment as he heard countless footsteps approaching them from the back. This noise pierced deep on Markos soul as he never had experienced something like this before in his five years of dungeon diving.
'What is going on, why are there enemies coming from the back? Did we miss them....
His brain was trying to make sense of what was happening, but as much as he tried, he couldn't. He felt a rising anger like never before taking over him as he headed to the back.
"FUCK, FUCK, FUCK...
Glam, immediately cast 'Featherweight' on me. Myaa and the archer take care of anyone that goes past me. The others can take the bac....
"Kayak...
"Kieeek...kekkk....
The rumbling footsteps had finally arrived and they were able to see what it was. Goblin after goblin came into their view , like water gushing out of a broken dam. Their big eyes reflected the light like mirrors , the shrill screams scratched their ears, and their footsteps shook the floor slightly.
"This...
The scene in front of him was something he would never have thought before. Goblin after goblin was rushing at him and they had no escape, or so almost everyone thought. The spearman that had managed to get the slime of his body with a lot of difficulty saw what was coming towards them and freaked out.
"No no no....I want to live, I want to live. Aaargg....I want to live...
He abandoned his position and immediately fled , running as fast as he could to escape the goblins.
"Wait, don't go that way! The are tra....
The mage who had just finished his spell tried to stop him, but he was shoved away . The spearman just wanted to get away, but death was waiting him on each side.

*tak tak tak tak*
"Ga...
He managed to run just a few meters away before several short arrows came from the side of the wall and he was hit repeatedly. Some hit his body wounding him slightly , but the arrow that hit him right in the ear was what killed him. He hit the ground like a sack of potatoes twitching slightly .
"Fuck...
The mage cursed at the corpse of the spearman. He was angry not that he died, but that he died without doing anything to help.
"Aaa....dieee...
On the other hand Marko rushed towards the horde of goblins, but not before using 'Physical Boost' on himself. Now he was faster and stronger than ever before, but that still didn't calm his nerves.
"Hahht...
"Kiaakkk...
He arrived at the goblin leading the charge and did and upwards cut, chopping his arm off and then immediately followed with a diagonal cut downward , almost cutting the next goblin in half.
"Fireball!"
"Kaaaaaa...
As that happened a fireball about 30 cm in diameter flew past him and into a goblin, setting him ablaze. The unfortunate goblin withered in pain on the ground, but all he was useful right now was as a campfire.
*Tak*
An arrow also flew , hitting a goblin on the shoulder managing to wound it , but a thrown knife hitting on its head was what killed it.
"Thanks...
The elf thanked Myaa who was right beside him, his calm demeanor gone with the wind. He was now breathing hard and his hands were shaking, something Myaa clearly noticed.
"No problem, just don't stop firing arrows. Don't think about anything, just you hitting the goblins."
"Kiaakkk...
"Kiaaaaaak...
Suddenly hair raising noise was also heard from the back. It was another group of goblins who was attacking them.
"What! A pincer attack?How is this possible?"

"Haas dieee...
By now Marko had managed to kill two more goblins, but now he was stuck. He heard the mage's shout and knew that if he moved forward he would be on the enemies side without any kind of support and his allies would be without a decent fighter, but there was also another option.
'I need to escape.
The goblins on the front are only six more, I can do it. I can escape if I just get past them, but they will surely...
"Haahht...
He killed another goblin with a slash of his sword and just rushed forward. He pushed his way through the five remaining goblins without trying to fight back and he managed to somehow get through. The goblins tried to claw at him , but it was futile as he was wearing full plate armour, but even that wouldn't save him from a group of goblins.
"Marko you bastard! You'll burn in hell for this, you hear me!?
Marko...
......
On the core room Kyle was watching what was happening on the minimap with great interest. It was just like playing a computer game, but better as it was real.
'Yes yes, kill those fuckers! They dare come to my dungeon and try to steal my CP....the try to steal...
What the hell am I thinking!? Why should I kill them? They stole my CP yes, but do they deserve to die for that?'
Kyle asked himself, but he didn't have an answer. Since he became a core he had begun to lose touch with his human side and everytime he saw someone coming to his dungeon he wanted to kill them without understanding why. It seemed as if killing was something engraved on his soul.
'No, no killing for now. I'll just have to capture them first, and we'll see what wil happen next.
But this guy...
Kyle worriedly stared at a single red dot on the minimap that was fleeing from the battle .
'This guy can't be allowed to live. He killed a lot of my goblins and he thinks he can escape from me? He will only feel the wrath of my elemental.'
His vision changed from the room the core was in to a multicolored view of the elemental.
.....
"Hah hah hah... shit, shit...
Marko ran as fast as he could in the dark tunnel, sometimes falling down , sometimes glancing of the wall, but he didn't stop. He was spent from fighting the goblins , and he was growing even more tired as he was fleeing for his life.
'Shit, why is this happening? Did I offend some god to have such unluckiness befall upon me? Now everything is over, but how am I going to explain this to the guild...
*Bam*
Something hit Marko's chest hard and slammed him to the ground. The air was forcibly exhaled from his lungs , immobilizing him immediately. He couldn't see it but his breastplate had caved in a little.
"Guh.. what...
*Bam*

Exhuman
If superpowers appeared today, what might the future look like? In a future which has endured nuclear wars, people rarely wake up one day with supernatural powers, transforming an innocent life into a walking apocalypse. Shunned and feared, these Exhumans are often violent, ever misunderstood, and always dangerous. In this world unfolds the dark story of Athan Ashton, an 18-year old with a football scholarship who wakes up to find himself a lightning-powered Exhuman. Following a failed imprisonment and execution, he is exiled to the wilds, ostracized from all he’s even known. Like most, Athan never questioned society's view of Exhumans, buying the public line that they are selfish and a danger, fit only to be reported and dispatched. But living on the other side, Athan begins to discover why Exhumans go bad, and begins the impossible task of becoming more than just his powers. Athan is dedicated to use his Exhumanity only for good, but is that enough to survive in a world where his very existence is a crime?

The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.

What?! The world outside the village is full of villains.
Saulo Delanova is a young Amish. He doesn't use electricity, travels by horse and carriage, and eats what he sows in a community with a traditional lifestyle, rural and voluntarily separated from modern society. A community that for foreign eyes is frozen in time. When he decides to experience the modernity that he heard so much about the cities outside of his region, a theft forces him to stop on his way to the capital city. The situation would be manageable if it weren't for a detail. In his community they live under the principles of nonviolence! In a world where each being is born with an identifying color, can summon a weapon and fight with the power of the elements -or what is known as trinity or three characteristics of a user-, villains abound because of this power that each person can easily use. Ignorant of the life in the country's most important city, Saul will have to face culture shock to adapt to this outside world unknown to him, and to the people and events that will make him fall into the bowels of the world of temptations.
