Quest update: License
??? (0/1) -> defeat R.I.V.A.L.
Terrance could not help but scratch his chin as he read the quest update. He wondered if the quest would have changed into something else if he did not go with a police theme or did a poor job or even skipped the bonus quest overall. With a shrug, he put the thought in the back of his mind and went to the special zone portal to leave. This session of DCO had worn him out and he decided to get what left of the night as sleep.
This naturally did not mean nothing occurred after he left. It was not an hour before a roaming party of players came across the new additions. Neutral elite mobs were something they had not seen before. So naturally, they attacked and got wrecked so hard the fight did not last ten seconds. The main part of this was because Spars was overhead observing them. With the rogue in its sights, there was no surprise attack when she finally struck. Being taken out by the revolver wielding raptor with two well-placed shots in the back of the head. Leaving the shotgun-wielding dino to face against the other four members of the attackers. Loaded with slugs, the tank’s armor buckled as it was dented deep into the defender’s chest, causing both true damage and piercing damage as well as a severe injury. The poor warrior got it worse when a flash-bang grenade went off inches in front of his face. Allowing the shotgun-wielding dino an easy second kill. This left the mage and healer of the group alone without any defenders. That did not matter too much as before the warrior hit the ground rapid-fire of .50 cal rounds tore them to shreds.
Rue this entire time was sitting on a couch eating popcorn watching the scene unfold. Naturally curious, Glyax took to her side and grabbed a handful of buttery goodness and tossed one into his mouth.

“ Who’s dungeon is that? Those raptors look cool. Much better than mine.”
Rue smirked, “ Well, then your in for a surprise.”
Before Rue can get a look of annoyance a hand reached from behind the couch into the half-empty popcorn bowl.
“ Stop teasing the boy Rue. We all know how that is going to go down.”
Glyax looked behind him to see Steve just tossing a piece of popcorn in the air, it was obviously thrown at a bad angle and too hard but magically it corrected course and landed right into his mouth.
“ So, are you going to explain it?”
Steve smirked as he looked at the screen.
“ Sure, but to be fair, your dungeon is not the only one that is having this happen too. It is a player update coming out so there is not really much to it. It is called dungeon territory. In which special individuals who meet certain criteria have the opportunity to expand on some of the lore and events of a dungeon. I shall give you a reference. Loreright, the one that got the ‘pathifist' achivo, and not to be mistaken with pacifist, which is a whole nother achievement. Anywho, he unlocked a unique skill and quest chain that will only be available to him, for now. This quest chain was designed to help fill in some backstory a dungeon core might forget to add to their own personal lore.”
Glayx took a moment to process this.
“ Wait, so he cares more about the game lore than the fighting?”
Steve raised his shoulders and Rue just giggled.
“ Doesn’t that mean that he is writing the history of MY dungeon? Don’t I get a say in that?”
Rue and Steve just looked at each other and started laughing. For the next half hour, they discussed this new development in the dungeon.

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Way of Wrought Earth, or: My Tale of Rebirth as a Mostly Inanimate Rock
Mirage Winter. Second Clause, current act. A Relic Hunter's life is harsh — and often short — in the shattered lands of the Frontier. But when Whitelight reemerges, a legendary blade capable of separating anything the user wills it to cut, a newly formed unit organized of Hunter’s both young and old (and sediment based, in a particular case) vow to stop it from falling into cruel hands. Standing against them is the Frontier itself: the unbridled wrath of global federations, fellow Hunters, and those who lurk in the shadows of giants. As the world races to unravel a history desperately concealed, a semi-sapient rock soon realizes that some things are better off dead and buried — especially when those secrets carry an insidious corruption with no cure. Iteration: Mirror-glass Stars in Iron Oceans. First Clause. A soul wakes up as a rock, clinging to fragmented memories and knowledge of another era. What fate awaits such a creature? No, this isn't satire. Yes, I am dumb enough to try to take this seriously. Updates Wednesday, Friday with a variable amount of chapters. This story is not recommended for the easily disturbed. This is your only warning.
