《The New World Rising : How to Build a Dungeon Kingdom》Chapter 15 - A Good Deal
Advertisement
The village had a small farm of hares. Hares… I remember them. They were our most favorite catch before I was reincarnated as a dungeon master. Well, luckily this time I do not need to go through the torment of trying to catch them, but rather I am trading some shiny stones for them.
“How many hares do you have here?”
“There should be around 120 in this farm.”
“Do you mean there are more farms?”
“Yes, there are multiple. We have three other hare farms. Hares multiply fast. Even faster than goblins. However, it is better for them to live in the forest and not in the village. That way they grow bigger, faster. Easier to sustain them as a food supply that way.”
So, goblins procreate at an above-average rate. I can at least infer this from the goblin chief’s words. Also, even if we receive some hares at the end of this trade, it seems like I will need to build a farm on the outer world rather than inside the main dungeon for them to multiply faster. Our population is much larger than that of this village. I should at least pay close attention to our food supplies.
“I understand. So how many hares do you have in total?”
“I would say around 600.”
“Do you have any other livestock animals? Something that gives milk?”
“Yes, we do. You are lucky. We have goats and cattle. But we cannot trade the cattle.”
“I see then, no worries. How about the goats? Would you be able to trade them?”
“Yes, and we would be happy to trade them. Our main food source is hares. We use goats’ fur and pelts for clothmaking, but by now we must have finished enough clothes to last until the next generation. Hahaha.”

Winter might be approaching, and I have not thought about that yet. Goat fur would not only come in handy in case of a harsh winter but would most likely be our only option to protect ourselves against the cold. Well, that is if we go out. I extended the dungeon to the outer world, but the residents are all in the underworld, better protected by the threat of cold. Still, if I decide to expand the residence areas to the outer world as well, or even to trade with this village of goblins or other villages I hope to find in the future, winter clothing is a must. Hare pelts are not that protective against cold anyway.
“We are also looking to buy some information about the outer world, and this forest. Do you know of any nearby villages?”
“Well, well… There are some other goblin villages in this forest, but they are scattered around the area. I can prepare a map for you if you wish to learn their places but that would be costly.”
Costly huh. I try not to pop out a smirk, even for a second. I bet I can get enough shiny stones in an hour within the dungeon to buy 100 of those maps that you are going to prepare. For now, I nod to approve.
“Yes, that is an information we would like to buy. Also, what do you know about the world outside this forest.”
“Nothing much I can give you about that. This forest is located near southern border of Phyrria Empire. There is another kingdom to the south of here, but we do not know of its name. This forest, to be fair, is very isolated. Also, we are monsters. It is dangerous for us to leave here. I, for example, never left this forest in my entire life. Nor did any of the goblins who live here. It is too risky.”

“I understand.”
Initially, I was also planning to ask for some seeds, but I have not seen a single trace of agriculture around here. Well… I will get what I can. Hares, goats, and some information. Maybe the other goblin villages will have something more to offer. Surely, though, this is a good start. All these for a pile of shiny stones – they did not even ask for the tools! A good deal indeed.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

TTWN: The Tale of Will Newbie
This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.

Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.

Someday someone will find this and I hope they will read every chapter.I am still overly embarrassed to write such little poems, imagine my family finds out. ,:O__________________________________________Well I don't know if that's poetry but still, for me it is. I try to write my feelings down and I provide little prompts that all occurred on real experiences or real situations. (mostly)__________________________________________I pretty much have many random thoughts I do not wanna talk about or keep to myself.Most of the chapters are issues that don't have a connection to me though.__________________________________________>>>I do not know if the poems need trigger warnings but if they do I definitely will put them in before the chapter starts.__________________________________________Oh, and I also drew the cover at 3 in the morning with 4 years old chalk. :DWell I did not plan to actually start a wattpad story or whatever you could call it but the cover somewhat matches.Let's not talk about the bad quality though. :D__________________________________________ The 07.09.2022
