《The Start of a Unusual Life in an Alternate Reality(Soul-AR. You know like solar)》Mindf***ed

Lilith:"Dorian? Are you okay? Your mind is all over the place."
She is right, I have so many thoughts going through my brain right now.
I mean I just tore a hole in reality. There was the possibility of spatial collapse. Or for lovecraftian monsters to attack.
Or even to be sent to another dimension.......
Wait. Could I cut my way to my dimension? How would I know which one? What if I went to a dimension of the future of my earth? How would I adapt to a nuclear society? At least I assume it'd be nuclear. Shit wasn't looking to good before I got dragged here.
What if I tried to go through the tears? I might be torn apart at the atomical level.
Hel said I could kill a God with the Soul Reaver. It was an offhanded comment but I felt a resonance with it. Like I knew it would.
If it could kill a God could it kill the three in white?
What happens if you kill a God? In the God of War games any gods Kratos killed caused mayhem on earth. Would it be like that? If I killed Poseidon would the seas flood? Or would the other gods of the sea prevent that? What if I killed an entire pantheon, or just the head of them?
Lilith:"Dorian don't know why you're thinking those thoughts but that is dangerous. If you truly do have the ability to do so then if one of them finds out and is an enemy towards you, you'll have to face their wrath."
Dorian:"I know love. But could you not read my mind so freely, sometimes a guy needs time to think to himself otherwise he'll go insane. Well..... more so in my case."

Lilith:"I'm not trying to Dorian but you're projecting them outwards past your mindwall, anyone with psychic sense would pick up on them. It's why I knew something was wrong."
Julian:"I don't know what you guys are talking about but from your tones it seems serious. I won't be dragged I to it will I?"
Thia:"You seem to have your priorities in order eh Julian."Thia says with slight malice In her voice.
Dorian:"Calm down Thia, it's not like he should be concerned about anyone but himself. I mean he's the son of an emperor, of course he'd prioritise himself over those who are actually looking out for him and risking their lives for him." I say to try and deflect any attention from me to Julian to make him my scapegoat.
Julian:"Hey you kn-" Julian starts but gets interrupted by the bell marking the end of the period.
Dorian:"Well time for combat ed then. We'll see ya later at lunch, Greta, Hanz."
Hanz:"Later guys, be sure to drop by the kitchen, I'll have flame broiled muscles (the clam) waiting for ya to try."
Lilith:"That sounds nice Hanz, thank you."
Greta:"You're not gonna want to miss it. Hanz's seafood dishes are his specialty."
Dorian:"Wait so that steak yesterday wasn't? Holy fucking shit dude, now I'm no way in Hell missing this." I say with my mouth salivating.
Maybe I can get him to make a Tilapia/Salmon dish with lemon dressing and a crab side dish.
Oh my god the food porn.
Lilith:"*laughs* Your so stupid Dorian."
Dorian:"The skinniest fat kid shall return." I say raising my fist to the sky with my head down as everyone laughs.
After that we part ways with Hanz and Greta and head towards the Colosseum.

After we arrive I see Dag, Antonio, and Beatrice sitting at the edge of the clearing.
We head towards them but are interrupted by Mr.Renagoth clearing his throat over the din of a few hundred kids and teens talking.
Renagoth:"Alright kiddies, today's lesson will be a bit special, today were gonna have a battle ofminds."
Why do I feel like there is a hidden but in there.
Renagoth:"But' oh look there it is' this isn't just any old fight but to the death. What will happen is I will pick one of you to cast a projection spell on and your mindscape will be the battleground for us. Now due to the schools lawyers being all hoity toity like, your minds will be projected into the mindscape, that way you all wouldn't actually die. Now you don't have to worry about cheating because the student wouldn't be able to affect their mindscape. Now which one of you wants to be mindfucked?"
The room becomes dead silent as no one raises their hand to volunteer.
I wonder what my mindscape looks like?
Well since everyone is standing stock still I speak up.
Dorian:"I'll volunteer. Who knows, maybe I'll learn something about myself. Also will everyone be able to use the weapons they're most familiar with? If so this won't be too entertaining."
Renagoth:"Yes the thing you are most familiar with will be your weapon. This is also a stand alone battleroyale meaning you are on your own in there. People could choose to team but in the end you'll have to fight each other to escape."
With that I walk up to him and wait for him to put us to sleep and see my mind for the first time.
Renagoth:"Nocturne"

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.)
