"By the way girls, I would like you to meet, Jessy my daughter," Sarah said, introducing Jessy to the two ladies.
Aunt Ruth and Aunt Ruby looked at each other while smiling at Adam.
"Wow, you had a pretty daughter, Sarah!" Ruth commented.
"She looks as pretty as her mother," Ruby said.
"Hello, Aunt Ruby and Aunt Ruth, nice meeting you all!" Jessy greeted her mother's friends with a broad smile on her face.
"And who is this young man with you?" Sarah asked, her brows knitted together, the way her daughter looked at the young man seemed like they have known each other for a long time.
"Ah, this one...he is Gavin Sanders, a good friend of ours," explained Ruth.
Sarah pulled Ruth beside her and whispered in her ears. "Can this guy be trusted with our secret?"
"Yes, of course. He is Adam the Royal couple's resurrected son, your daughter's childhood sweetheart, but please keep it a secret, the rest of the vampires don't know yet," Ruth said.
Sarah was shocked.
The last time he saw Prince Adam he was the ugliest vampire that she had ever seen in her whole life.
Sarah glanced at her daughter...she saw Jessy was locking eyes with Gavin.
Ah, young love...
Ruby walked to their side. "Let's start girls..."
"Okay," Ruth and Sarah replied in unison.
"Good evening everyone! Welcome to your new home, these condominium resort residences are called~ The Habitat~ you will be well-taken care here. Everything you need rest assured these residences can provide you anything," Ruby said.
A projector was now playing directed into the whiteboard, showing the interior of every residence...the kitchen, living room, bathrooms and bedrooms are fully furnished. The small presentation was being shown so that the new occupants already have an idea of how their new home will look like. Then the resort amenities were also being highlighted, the one-kilometer forest park, the stunning swimming pools, the basketball and tennis court, the rooftop garden, the canteen, the grocery store, the library room, children's playroom, a mini-clinic with a pharmacy and there's also a clothing store. A stunning aerial view of the whole condominium townhouse and the neighboring forest appeared on the screen.

Then Ruth began speaking on the sound system. "The canteen offers breakfast starting from 5 to 9 in the morning, then lunch will be served at 11 up to 2 in the afternoon, then dinner will start at 6 up to 9 in the evening. You can choose to take out the foods and bring them to your condo unit or eat right there in the canteen. As for the basic needs, the grocery store is open starting at 8:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening. Adjacent the grocery store is the management's office, you can write your complaints and suggestion there, all your opinions are welcome, please don't hesitate to voice out your concerns and ideas. This place is built to offer you ultimate comfort. Have a nice stay everyone, nice meeting you all, you can call me Ruth," she smiled at the people in front of her.
Ruth steps down on the podium and it's now Ruby's turn to speak.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ruby...we are sisters," she pointed at Ruth. "It's my great pleasure to speak in front of you all and able to meet everyone here tonight. We are the managing team behind this condo residences. We hope you will like your new home, we make every condo unit as comfortable as possible and well suited to everyone's taste. All the condo units had uniformed interior design...same appliances and same floor area. We do have a strict rule here that we implemented, no one can get out of the townhouse, everyone must remain inside the building's perimeters day and night, this is to make sure everyone is safe. Please follow the rules. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Now we will start giving numbers to the people sitting on the front...the numbers will start at 1 to 150. Those who got the numbers from 1 to 50...will go with Ruby. The number from 51 to 100 will go with me and the number from 101 to 150 will go with Sarah here. After we already settled the first 150 in their new home we will come back for the next batch, now please stand up those who had a number starting from 1 to 50...let's keep moving...hold your kids and wife's hands. Thank you!"

Ruby steps out in the podium and a few minutes later the mortals lined up according to their numbers.
The first 50 families were out...
Then the next 50 follow suit...
The last 50 of the first batch were already out of the function room.
The first batch was already settled into their new home.
Jessy and Adam were distributing numbers for the next batch. Since they can't talk to each other because hundred of eyeballs were staring at them, they just have to sneak glances at each other. They would give each other a knowing smile then a smirk will curl up in their lips.
They can't wait to be alone together.
Fifteen minutes later...
Ruby, Ruth, and Sarah returned and time for the second batch.
One hour later...
Time for the third batch...
It's already near midnight when the whole event was finished.
As soon as the last batch was out of the door...
Jessy catapulted into Adam's waiting arm. "I miss you so much!" she murmured in his ears.
"Me too!" Adam replied and hugged Jessy tightly.
They were about to lock lips when the trio returned.
Ruth, Ruby, and Sarah come back to the function room with a tired expression on their faces, yet they were also sporting a happy and satisfied expression after everything went well according to plan.
"I'm tired but hungry!" Ruby said, she sat on the chair yawning.
"Me too!" Sarah agreed, she sat beside Ruby.
Ruth fished out her phone from her shoulder bag and called the officer-in-charge of the canteen and requested a snack delivery into the function room.
Fifteen minutes later...the delivery arrived.
French fries, cheeseburger and soft drinks with one bucket of fried chicken were delivered into the function room.
They began eating the foods with appetite.
"How about the occupants, Mom? They don't have dinner yet," Jessy said while munching at the crispy fried chicken she was holding in her right hand.
"Don't worry about them, the canteen already provided a packed dinner for each condo unit as a welcome gift to the occupants one hour before they arrived here. I bet some of them are already eating their dinner right now," Sarah answered.
"Ah, okay, that's good," Jessy replied.
Adam was busy munching at his french fries, while his feet and Jessy's feet were having a wrestling match below the table.
One hour later, all the foods have been consumed, they looked at each other with a satisfied grin on their faces.
"Oh my...I'm so full!" Ruth said.
"I'm feeling so sleepy after eating lots of foods tonight," Ruby yawned.
Ruth stood up. "Sarah, we were going to the guest room now to retire for the night."
"Goodnight Sarah and Jessy," Ruby said.
"Goodnight girls and Prince Adam," Sarah said.
Adam smiled at his mother-in-law. "Good night Ma'am...goodnight Jess!" he winked at his girlfriend.
Ruby, Ruth, and Adam exited the function room.

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.)

Alchemy, Enchanting and many, many techniques have been lost over time... If you were to compare the City of Thright to the current Empires Dynasty?Just one commoner of Thright could completely destroy it within a day, but luckily for the Emperor, the City of Thright have no choice but to stay.As for Leif? Well, he's currently 10 years old and should by now be at the Low Earth Realm, but born with corrupted meridians he is unable to cultivate so he is stuck in the first realm of the Mortal realm.However, Liefs destiny was never confined to this forest. 18+ due to foul language and bloody scenes. RPG aspects start at the end of chapter 12. Currently on break for a while, I'll continue with this, just not right now. I'm unsure when I will continue writing this.
