《STARCO One Shots》To Keep You Alive part 1
Advertisement
Marco's POV
"Wow! These Monsters are more tuff this time!" I say as I beat one up. I see one that's about to tackle Star, and I go in front of her. I fall on her. I blush. My Stomach hurts a lot. Then, she helps me up, and we continue beating them up. A Monster is about to stab her, so I go in front of her. Fortunately, he saw me and changed the direction of he sword, and he only cut my face. I fall to the ground, and Star Narwhal Blasts, and comes to me. "M-Marco! Y-You Saved Me!" "Anything to keep you alive!"
She touches a bruise on my cheek
"You're really bruised. Let me help!"
"No! I-I'm fine!"
I see my lip is bleeding.
"Shoot!" I get it with my hoodie, then Star moves my hand and gets a cotton ball, and dabs it. She then dabs all my bruises. I look at her, she smiles. "Anything to keep you Alive!" A monster comes near her, I pull her to the ground, punch the monster, and he throws me. I can barely get up. "That's it! NOBODY HIRTS MY BESTIE!!!" Star screams. She Spider With A Top Hat Blasts them, and they leave in fear. "St-Star..." I say. She's on top of me. I never noticed how beautiful her eyes were. I never noticed how her hair just goes in place, or how cute her nose is. "W-What?" She says. Have I been staring? She lifts me up, and I fall trying to walk. She gets Cloudy, and puts me on him. She goes on too. Suddenly, I see a spear running at Star in the air. I fly up, and it hits me in the stomach. I fall again, and Star goes on top of me again. I see Toffee quickly running. "MARCO!!" Star yells. "Marco, why would you do that?!" "Because, I'd do anything to keep you alive. I-I love...." I can barely speak. Star looks surprised, then kisses my cheek. "My hero." She hugs me, and cries on my shoulder. I pull up enough strength to hug her too, I start to slowly feel I'm fading away. "I love you." I say...and everything turns black. Then, I see a familiar red light.

March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
