《Proditum - The betrayed ones》Prologue
Advertisement
Democracy... The government where rules the free choice, where peoples can choose their representants and their governments will grant their requests... Well, that's what they say at least.
In real, Democracy was all controlled, the media says that peoples choose the president and everyone had accepted them, no one could speak the inverse, and if spoke they would cover it with more lies, in a matter of time it was becoming a dictatorship
When it had the internet people started to have more choices, but before it the crescent of the creation of political ideologies had come to destroy the human being. Multiple of them being feminism, LGBT, communism, equality, then and then... In the beginning, the ideas were good, until it becomes a stage to generate misunderstanding between peoples, leading to fighting. If someone would speak something that would be against what those ideologies say, that person would be considered as the worse human being and then chased until their life is destroyed. When some tries to show the reality with facts, peoples had preferred to believe on what the ideology they follow says, closing their eyes to the reality.
Amid those ideologies, an opposition emerged that was also controlled, one that peoples fight for justice, at least what they think, but was actually being controlled. Those same peoples from that opposition did the same mistakes that peoples from ideologies did, becoming another of those.
Many fights and canceling had happened until the time that comes to the censorship, leading to no free speech, cus in a matter of time, the internet was selling itself to the ideology. And the more the ideologies were growing up, just a few had their place to speak, and those few just wanted the destruction of humanity.
After the internet censorship, the information had to come in secrecy, and people had to buy privileged information to have access to that what they couldn't have access to anymore. But most people didn't give value to information, making the agenda that destroy the human being advanced even more.

Many ridiculous laws had been approved, and most of those laws gave privilege to women while beat the men, with the stereotype of "oppressor man" and "poor woman". In a matter of time being a man wasn't allowed anymore, framed as an oppressor, forcing men to becomes transexual. Childs now was bred by beaker, making many genetical alterations to make babies without the sexual act.
Those who refuse all the laws and all the real oppression that they were doing against humanity and the male kind ended being sent to the concentration field, or then violated, drugged, or killed. That was their situation.
Amidst all of this, an entity had gifted those men that searched freedom and self-independence powers to becomes distant from the world. Since all women had betrayed them the lack of them had been complete by their own feminine projection, the anima, losing their sexual desires to being attracted by people. They had become a new human being species, from homo sapiens to Proditum, also known as betrayed ones from Latin.
With the feeling that everything would be against them, they decided to live their lives in their own way, each one with a different cosmic power. Due to their habits being a thing that goes against the laws and the government and the simple habit of being a free man, the Proditums were being hunted constantly, pursuits like true terrorists, when they actually were trying to be free by their own way all the time.
Not just pursued by the government and by the women, as they were hatred by the cosmos as well, making that being male being a blessing and a curse. The blessed is having cosmic powers, being free, and admire their own beauty. The curse is being hatred by everything and everyone. That is the journey of a Proditum.
To reproduce themselves without the need of a woman they use their own cosmic powers to make more of them, each one with their own way to be.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
