(away from the nerd and the punk, in a deep underground cavern, a giant structure awakens)
structure detected, initializing destruction lv1-5 units,...
(the structure begins to move and it mines the ground around it and makes dog-sized robots with picks for front legs, drills where noises would be, and a furnace-like inside to their sharp mouths)
directive: destroy all sapient being on the planet and all remnants.. send to sector 847.2.
(the robot dogs rush the walls of the cavern, and drill to reach the surface like giant moles)
(when the dogs of war burst out of the ground, the pack rushed towards the sprout of civilization...well..okay; one digitized gaming nerd and one punk-ass musician hanging around a concrete shelter housing a matter synthesizer, but that's beside the point. them dogs are coming to wreck their shit up and kill them, luckily the punk just finished getting an upgrade)
(jane wakes in the bed like chamber, and opens it to get up)@okay...what I get [email protected]
(the avatar perks up)"o-haha, because I'm plant-like, you're saying I use nuts to procreate...wait....now I made a joke"
@not want I was going for pod [email protected]
"....okay;.... basically, you now have super strength, being able to pick up a boulder twice your size like a baseball, and you can jump really fucking high"
@you cursed again, that's a good [email protected]
"e-yup, I still need to-"
(Loud crackling noise interrupts them)
(The dogs approach the building as the disastrous duo step out to see what made the noise)
"Oh, look,...robot dogs, I'm gonna see if they, can be talked to"
@[email protected]
(They walk to the robot dogs )
"Howdy little fellas, why are you here?"
(One of them rips their arm clean off)
"...[indignant]you are soo lucky that that grows back"

(Jane hits one in front of them in a golf stroke with her guitar)
@the hell man, you cannot be this [email protected]
"Because I am not, I have you here for starters(catches one that tried to jump on them with one hand)I just didn't want to make enemies unnecessarily,...now I know these can't be reasoned with(what looks like long-clawed nails extend from their hand into the robots head)...and they were sent to destroy us by a robotic entity......SOO COOL!!"
@[email protected]
"We get to fight an evil thing that probably killed most of this planets lifeforms."
@(while holding off one of them)and HOW is that a good [email protected]
"...endless heads to bust, in increasing difficulty, and an excuse to make defences"
@...(takes shotgun off her back holster, and shoots the robot in the mouth before kicking it off). I'm [email protected]
"(Makes disturbing noises of pleasure) guns, monsters, defences, danger, base building, investigating, scavaging, this is a paradise for a warrior"
@(disturbed)don't fetishize my violent nature, [email protected]
"Sorry,..(hits another that lunged at them with the one in their hand, breaking both bots)....I'm almost tempted to make an unarmed joke"
(jane sighs in exacerbation, one of the robots latches on to her arm and drills into it. causing her to scream. causing druzy to rush over and bite at the bot at the neck, decapitating it)
@AAAARRGEE!!...MY GODAM [email protected]
"We should focus on the drill-dogs for now."
(druzy begins sock puppeting the head and uses it to chomp on the dogs)
".....my my, it is a dog eat dog world after all."
@AARGE, why are you cracking jokes at a time like [email protected]
"i-dono, hey, how do you get a one-armed man down a tree? You wave at him."

she begins breaking the dog bots apart in quicker secession, even using her injured arm to literally tear them apart.
"There we go. I was beginning to worry that it wouldn't activate"
(the severed arm perks up showing it took root, grabbing one of the dogs by its tail before it could attack jane from behind)
"Oh no you don't robo-pupper, you are coming with me for reprogramming, "
(jane is still screaming, even after the remaining robots seem to be retreating, she chases after them like a woman possessed, until they were all "dead", using still intact husks as implements to beat the still moving ones to death, ripping one in half like a durrian with her bare hands)
(druzy go's to their "captive" and powers it down)
(jane shuffles back to druzy, exhausted from what she just did)
@*pants*.....what was that? @
"a little extra I put into your additions, it's what I call your juggernaut mode, I had to cause you to be REALLY angry to activate it, if I didn't,..well...we'd be dead in the water by now so to speak"
@[email protected]
"I am going to make some metal-voric death worms to guard the base after this"
@FIX MY DAMNED [email protected]

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.)
