Chapter 15: Asking
Jordan once again walked down the stairs. He's been in this place for five days already, at least that's what he thinks. Morgana still didn't give him any other food, and to be honest, he craves something tasty. These past five days all he's been doing was passing the time with Tollem. Talking with him, playing with him and generally just being with him. He still hasn't seen any of the other tribe members.
When Jordan reached the first floor, he saw that Tollem was sitting on a chair besides Morgana, eating something from the table in front of him. Jordan made his In their direction. Tollem and Morgana of course noticed the child with wolven features coming to their direction."Heyo! So, how's sleep been? Any interesting dream you want to talk about?" Tollem asked with a smirk.
Jordan didn't really remember any dreams, and so, he just replied with a quite 'don't know' and sat down in a chair next to them. "Hello" said Morgana before continuing eating the delicious looking grilled meat in front of her. Jordan awkwardly nodded in acknowledgement. This has been happening for the past days. When he first saw Morgana, she seemed like a normal girl, but now, she seemed robotic. He wonders what happened.
"What's on your mind?" asked Tollem, also eating grilled meat. "Well… uh.. it's just that… I have some questions… so.. um.. after you finish eating, I will, um, ask them" said Jordan. Yes, he still didn't ask them any of the questions that had been plaguing his mind. He decided that today is the day, that he finally gets some information about this place, how he got here, and how to get back.
"Uh, ok. Ask away! After we finish eating of course. Morgana, it's fine that he asks some questions, right?" asked Tollem while smirking. Morgana turned her head and looked and Jordan for a few seconds. "Yes, I will answer any question you have." With that answer, she got back to eating silently.

Tollem looked at Jordan for a few more seconds before going back to eating himself. After Morgana and Tollem finished, they looked and Jordan and found him sitting in a daze once again. He has been doing that ever since he got here. And now his doing it again. Both couldn't help but think that he's being cute.
Jordan snapped out of his reverie. He saw that Morgana was watching with a cold but somehow gentle face and Tollem was smirking while looking at him. "Uh, what?" Jordan asked, hoping to get out of this awkward situation. "Nothing!" Smirked Tollem. Tollem and Morgana both got up and dragged their chair so they would be sitting in front of Jordan. After sitting down Tollem decided to start the conversation. "Sooo, what's up?" He asked.
Jordan thought about all his questions he wanted answered. This is it. Today.. today he will get the courage and ask the questions.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
