《Can a holy hero be born from such a person?》Chapter 15: Alfin dungeon
Advertisement
Dungeon, theorised to be a living monster in a variety of shape such as cave, lake, pyramid etc that have it magical core at it lowest part, with the strongest being in the dungeon usually guarding it. Dungeon is said to spawn treasure to lure man kind there as their mana is said to be a dungeon most favourite food, of course over a period of time some monster and demon also gather there, some of them was born from the dungeon itself while other live there due to the protection factor. While the theory of dungeon as a living organism is common, Alfin doesn't believe in it that much due to simple reason, when a dungeon core is destroy, there are still functioning albeit to a much lesser degree
So she theorised it as a system by nature with a magical core at its centre and a boss beside him gathering mass of energy to further their growth and it just so happen that human is their favourite source of mana, so by using this theory she created the first artificial dungeon, which was named after her, when suggested by a "traitor" disguise as her best friend
As for the core, she uses an enchanted lich lion raja magic core and as for the boss, let just say she is lucky to have an earth dragon itself, as both she and Azumi found the earth dragon heavily injured when Searching for a suitable place for the dungeon, and in attempt to heal the dragon, she merge the dragon as part of the dungeon system healing the earth dragon in the process and making the dragon the dungeon boss. Thus, the dragon swore to serve Alfin dungeon and was given a name, Bumi.
A dungeon is like a golden mine, in fact it can be said even more valuable, as not only treasure, some spot from the dungeon can be used to mine precious ore, not only that, the monster loot and the rare treasure stimulate the economy of the city managing it, as adventure will dive in to get some loot or from a request and send it to merchant guild which in turn sell to other merchant, it is also use as training ground by both adventure and soldier

A unique feature of Alfin dungeon is that the boss is docile, and because she make a rule stating anybody that try to hurt the dungeon boss or the dungeon magical core will be sentenced to death, no one dare to do so. In response, if they managed to make it to the lowest ground, there are small room with simple transportation spell that bring them back to the surface. Because of such rule the dungeon is thriving. Of course, over expansion of dungeon is another issue, so she herself, Azumi and Bumi will regulate the size by manipulating the dungeon core from time to time. Currently, there are 65 floor on these dungeon. Alfin aim to make it hundred floor, in comparison, the lowest floor dungeon ever recorded was the purple sea dungeon at 195th floor
The dungeon being made from lich lion raja core has a large population of canine beast and also undead, some other species is also thriving there but the two mentioned before make up 70% of the monster found in the dungeon, so fauna element and darkness element was the predominant element surrounding the dungeon. The beast will usually roam in the morning while the undead at night, there have been a report of lich being born but a group of A rank adventure have taken care of it, so a warning have been issued to other adventure to be extra careful on the lower floor as lich is really a dangerous demon
Having reach the dungeon, the three of them "bypass" a short line of adventure, they actually line up like the other, but those adventure refuse to make the princess of the country, which is also the owner of the dungeon to wait
"well, that was fast" [Kucin]
"Of course, the princess with a similar name to the dungeon arrive, it will be weird if she have to line up" [Azumi]
"Let not forget who is responsible for the name!" [Alfin]
"Kahkahkah, i love democracy" [Azumi]
having said that, the three enter the dungeon

The Loyal Ones [Dark Biopunk Fantasy]
TLDR; A slave monster survives horror, war and servitude, while trying to live with himself. Thralls are a race of monstrous slave soldiers, in a universe where biological magic takes the place of technology. Centuries ago, their ancestors were desperate humans, who volunteered to be transformed for the Poison War. Today their unfortunate descendants are still soldiers and laborers. In contract law they are 'corporate wards'; slaves owned largely by arms dealers. Dally Harper starts this story as a champion cage fighter. He is one of the 'lucky' ones. It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault. None of these are framed as positive or glorified, however they do have a strong impact on the plot and main characters.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
