Arcmeal Continent
The continent where this novel story is taking place.
The continent is regularly exposed to the invasion of powerful demons that inhabit the northern wastelands.
Ten years before the start of the main story, there was a far greater invasion called the "Great Invasion", and three countries have collapsed because of it.
The territory of the collapsed country now becomes the habitat of powerful demons. Commonly known as the underworld.
In addition to humans, a wide variety of races such as beastmen, fairies, and elves live on this continent.
Some of the countries that collapsed due to the great invasion were countries of different races.
***
Academic City Alcazar
A city that was created to establish Solminati Academy. Centering on Solminati Academy, there is an administrative office in the north, a civic area in the east, a commercial area in the south, and a craftsman area in the west.
There are also adventurer guilds in various places, and students can also receive work according to their rank.
The transportation facility between cities is not well thought out. It is because this city was created at a central location in the power map of each country.
However, this city also has the latest research institutes, and since a lot of funds were introduced in the city construction, there is no doubt this city is considered as a major base on the continent, and therefore many people, supplies, and economy were established.

Solminati Academy
A school funded by countries all over the continent to develop human resources that can counter the large-scale invasion of demons.
The highest grade is the 4th year, and the content of education is not only about combat but also training human resources who can play an active role in various fields such as research and politics.
Students are divided into 1 to 10 classes according to their abilities, and their treatment varies.
In the first class, the training ground and magic experiment ground can be used preferentially, and in some cases, individual guidance from a specialized teacher can be received.
For better or for worse, it is natural for those who do not achieve a certain grade in a merit-based school to fail, and it is not uncommon for them to drop out.
Besides, since it develops human resources that will bear the future of each country, it will affect the forces between nations in the future, so it is also a place for political bargaining.
The protagonist managed to keep his grades only from writing exams because his practical exams were not good due to his ability suppression.
***
Magic
A technique that manifests various phenomena by raising the energy in the atmosphere or the energy in the body with their mental power and technique.
It is divided into chanting and formation, but there are various other techniques.
Spirit magic
The magic that involved spirits.
It does not require a process of interfering with the outside world, such as magical differences, chanting, and formation used by humans and subhumans.
***
Qi
A Technique that raises the vitality of the person and manifests various phenomena.
Basically, unlike magic, many do not require chanting or creating formation, but it is unlikely to cause as large-scale phenomena as magic.
Also, since Qi is vitality itself, complete depletion of Qi means death.
***
Rank
A step-by-step evaluation of the individual abilities of adventurers and military personnel employed on the continent.
To raise the rank, adventurers will be evaluated by their actions, such as defeating the demon beast and completing requests and missions.
Rank E
At the lowest rank, new adventurers, new soldiers, and academy, most people are in this rank until the first year.
Rank D
As for the rank, lower adventurers and soldiers, and in the school, the rank around the second grade is appropriate.
Rank C
The rank is for mid-level adventurers and soldiers, and third graders at the school.
Rank B
It is equivalent to a fourth-grader in a high-ranking adventurer, knight, or school.
Rank A
Not only first-class adventurers and knights of the guards, but also those who are involved in political, economic, and military centers are in this rank.
Rank S
The rank is given to top-notch people, currently, there are only a dozen people on the continent.
Rank SS
Currently, there are several people on the continent, but most countries do not have this rank.
***
Dragon
The strongest creature on the continent.
Although it is a living thing, it is one of the spirit species.
Unlike spirits, it has a material body, but that body is originally a spirit and is a mass of "Origin" substances that is the foundation of the world.
However, because it has a physical body, its living environment is close to that of living things.
When a dragon dies, it will let the offspring or the person who killed it inherit the power.
***
Dragonslayer
A person who killed a dragon and inherited its power.
There are only a few people in history, and their power is enormous, and some awaken to extraordinary abilities.
It hasn't appeared in the last few hundred years.
***
Lóng (Chinese: “dragon”)
A kind of demon beast.
Although it has outstanding fighting ability among demon beasts, it is far from the real dragon, and for Dragon, Lóng is not a big deal. However, it is a threat to human beings and a manifestation of fear.
***
Origin
The fundamental element of the world, this "origin" gathers and is transformed into spiritual energy, becomes the magic element or magical power, and the energy of vitality or Qi.

Of Gods and Dungeons
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.
