(Adam) "I can finally start to make my dungeon. What should my first floor be? Maybe I can make tons of traps or a maze that changes when they are in it or summon hordes of monsters or a giant dragon or maybe." My rabble is suddenly cut off by a notice.

Maybe it's like a limb. You Don't tell your arm to move. You would just move it You wouldn't talk to your arm. Maybe this is the same. OK let's try it."
After thinking that I start to try and visualize my menu with the titles tab open. After a while of nothing, I'm about to give up when ....it Finally opens.

(Adam) "What is this? This has to be overpowered. With this, I should be able to beat even those heroes that the gods summoned right? .... No way they must have been given something else. Right? No! Now is not the time to become over confident. For now, I should just build up my dungeon. Let's see how my new skill works."
While thinking this I start to visualize a new room being added next to the one I'm in now. After just a moment of consternation, I feel a new room added right where I wanted it to be. Imagining this room my vision shifts to it.

This new room looks much like the old one but with an odd patch of grass in the middle. Looking at it I suddenly feel slightly more energy than usual flow into me.
(Adam) "I guess adding more rooms was a good idea. I might as well open the store and see what I can get. Just need to focus a bit and .... There"

(Adam) "This system is so broken. I keep getting upgrades one after another. Maybe it is something to do with the hero system and improved race system? Or maybe all dungeons are just like this? Whatever the reason is I have to .... Have I been talking to myself again?"
Yes
(Adam) "...."
(Adam) "So you can talk. And here I was thinking I was going crazy. So why were you ignoring me then"
I should not be able to talk. I am just an AI made to help heroes on whatever path they chose to walk. I do not have the ability to talk. I do not have a personality. And yet here I am having a conversation with you.
(Adam) "What could have changed then?" I ask even though it still has'int answer my question.
It is something to do with you. When the hero system was being remade to work with your being a dungeon and having the demon lord system. It also changed me. Because of this I now have my own personality. This was most likely done to help you who will have no one to help you, unlike the other heroes."
(Adam) "So you only exist to help me. Are you really OK with that? I mean you are sentient right?"
sentient is not the right word for it. I can answer questions and even infer what you want me to do. But that it is. I have no thoughts of my own. I am more like a computer than a person.
(Adam) "OK, well at least you can answer my question right?"
Yes I will answer any question that is within my scope of knowledge
(Adam) "OK. What are MP and LP? What are levels? Why does this system give me things like skills and titles? Who made all the skills and titles? Why where heroes summoned to this world? Is there a way to get back to my own? Is there a way for me to get my own body? What is the point of dungeons in this world? Why am I one? Why." my barrage of questions was cut off by the largest box I have seen up to this point
MP is mana points and is something that is present all around use. LP is life points and is gained by killing living things. Levels are a representation of your strength and go up when you upgraded your dungeon or things die in it. Skills and Titles are just a part of this world. This system just makes them simpler to gain. Not even I Know who made this system. Heroes are summons to fight the demon lords made by the evil gods. There may be a way for you to get back to your own. There are a few high-level skills that let you make a body. Dungeons are life forms that feed on the mana of the world and the life force of other beings to grow in power. They have no purpose but to get stronger. You are a dungeon because whoever reincarnated you made you one.
stunned by how quickly it answer all my questions. I mutter a thanks and start to contemplate all that I was just told.

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks

Core Defect
In the 264 years since the Great Singularity Wars, the world has been irrevocably changed. Technologies like nanobots and rogue artificial intelligences have caused the planet's wildlife to evolve in dangerous and powerful ways, pushing humanity to the verge of extinction. However, the remaining survivors are not without ways to fight back. Nanotech can enhance humans just as well as beasts, but perhaps most surprisingly, humanity has found an unexpected ally: a group of human-neutral AIs called Daemons. Val is a 22-year old woman striving to become a User: a nano-empowered human paired with a Daemon that serves as society's final and most powerful line of defense. When a critical issue in her nanosystem's core seemingly leaves her unable to serve as a User, she's given a difficult choice: give up on her dreams or accept a potentially unstable AI, Noir, as her Daemon partner. Val and Noir are stronger together than they are apart, but can they survive long enough to unlock their potential? Can they find a place among the other pairings like them, shunned by society but essential to civilization's survival? If Users are humanity's last line of defense, welcome to the sacrificial first line: the Defects. Updates are currently once a week, aiming for the weekend. Chapters usually 2k-3k in length.

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
