Esme pov
I felt like I was suffocating, I couldn't concentrate on anything around me,
My chest hurt and I felt like I was going to die,
"Breathe, Breathe", I made out Kaylee's voice, I also felt hands on my back rubbing in a circular motion.
I tired to speak but no words came out as I stared infront of me trying not to die, I was freaking myself even more.
"Look at me", Kaylee moved my face to hers and I saw the worry and sadness in her eyes,
"That's it... In and Out", she continued until, I could breathe better but my chest still felt like it was on fire.
Tears streamed my face as a sob finally left my lips, I was rocked back and forth by someone,
"Shh shhhh, it's okay", Rin whispered in my ear, I guess it was her who was holding me.
I felt the car stop and looked outside seeing a hospital, there is nothing more , I hate...
My anxiety started to kick in again and more tears started to fall from my eyes knowing what was behind the doors and what lays for others..will you either make it out or stay there forever.
The girls helped me out of the car as I still had a death grip onto Rin's hand.
I took in the waiting room just scanning the people around use or looking at anything just to not let my mind wonder to the phone call I had minutes ago,
"receptionist said he is in surgery now for his head and that a doctor will be out after", Kaylee said while walking back to where we were.
My eyes closed as I took a deep breathe trying to calm myself so I wouldn't cry, the door busted open revealing a frantic looking Lottie, Cleo and Enzo, once they saw us the rushed towards us.

Two bodies crashed into me holding me tightly, I buried my face in between them.
"Es", I heard Enzo said, looking up at him I saw him trying to keep his tears back as he stood and look at him ,
letting go of the girls, I pulled Enzo to a hug,
"He will be okay", he said trying to convince me and him, nodding my head I pulled away from him and focused on the wall infront while playing with my fingers.
"Family of Matteo de Santis", a young doctor said while coming into the waiting room.
We quickly stood up to meet him half way, he held a neutral expression on his face, which didn't help to calm my nerves,
"Mr.de Santis has suffered a hard blow to head from the incident..", he paused to see our faces before continuing, "We tried what we could to help but unfortunately.."
My vision started to become blurry and my heart felt like it was be ripped out of my heart.
"...Coma", the doctor finished,
"What?", I asked timidly,
"He has suffered significant trauma to the head and we need to put him in a coma, unsure of when he might awaken.....seeing as the most damage was to his head, we expect that he may...be a bit lost in terms of who you are"
"You're saying he might not remember me", I asked and received a meek nod in return before a sob fell from my lips, my feet started to tremble as I came closer and closer to the ground.
"C-Can I see him?"
"Yes, yes of course", he leaded me towards the room where Matteo is, once I told my friends I was okay to go alone.
He moved aside so I can walk into the dull hospital room, that made a shiver run down my spine as to how many have never left this same room.

"I will leave you to", as soon as he said that he was out the door, closing it behind him, I looked down at Matteo seeing his head wrapped in bandage and a tube stock in his mouth,
A small cry left my lips as I looked down at the one I love, I took a seat at the side of his bed examining his face, he looked pale and drained of life, even with his eyes closed he looked tired and in pain.
Bringing my hand to his face is started to rub his cheeks that felt so cold, a cry left my lips as I think of the next time I will see those fierce green eyes, and those dimples that showed anytime I said one of my dumb jokes
or when I fell of the bed from rolling too far
or when next I might be able to hear his rich deep voice, singing melodies to me, or shouting at me for nearly destroying his kitchen,
I didn't even realize I was full on crying until I see my tears on his hand that I held,
"You were supposed to be here with me", I smiled sadly at him still gripping his hand,
"You promised.... you'd always be here, b-but your not", I cried out.
"But, you better come back to me, or ill unalive you then kill you myself, you understand", I looked at Matteo's eyes still not opened.
"I love you, my love...please wake up", I left a lingering kiss on his forehead.
Stepping away I took one finally look at Matteo and walked out the door with one thing on my mind.
***************************************************************************
"Do we having any leads?", I asked as I leaned back in a chair in Matteo's office while sipping on the alcohol in my hand,
The dark born drink burned my chest as a swallowed.
Enzo looked at me strangely trying to understand my harden facade,
"umm, yes we believe it is his father and brother who are be hind the incident"
"Do we know where they are?"
"Yes, they seem to be in the country not to far from here"
"What about men"
"Our men are arriving sometime tomorrow so we can make a plan and attack"
"Prefect, we will discuss when they have arrived"
"Esme... are you sure you are um okay... these guys are rough and I don't think they would like to be bossed around by.... a um female"
"Then they will learn"
"okay, how are you", he tried to change the conversation.
"Fine", my voice stiff as I hissed at the taste of the alcohol
"You're not-"
"You can't tell me how I feel, no you know nothing of how I feel, if I say I am fine I am fine",, I shouted while standing up,
"He won't like this"
"WEll HE'S NOT HERE", I shouted at him ignoring how he flicked,
"He's not here, okay..", my voiced cracked as I cried smashing the glass on the ground, I felt arms around me holding me close,
"He will be okay, he will be back soon...shush, shush", Enzo rubbed my back as I continued to ugly cry on him,
Wiping away my tears, I pulled away looking up at seeing he hand unleased tears in his eyes.
"Yes, he will, he will", I spoke up to him reassuring him as too myself.
"Get some rest, well will plan in the morning",
Nodding my head, I moved to go into Matteo and I's room...... not knowing if I can sleep without him beside me.

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.)

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.
