"Hold on there partner, it's first come first serve. Just wait your turn like everybody else," said a man wearing military clothing, as his group of six entered the portal, fully equipped with guns and military equipment of all sorts.
'The military? No, the people on his team don't seem trained at all,' analyzed Gray as he saw a girl on their team strap her AK-47 towards her back instead of her front.
'They probably just got lucky and raided what was left of a military base. But still, this could work out quite nicely,' thought Gray as he waited for them to enter the portal.
After all the groups had entered and the portal was still blue he followed in.
"I can never get used to this," murmured one of the members of the Riot guild that had entered the dungeon.
"Yeah, it's almost like we're in another world," replied another member, as he scanned the scenery.
They were underground, with a system of tunnels leading in all directions. Unlike the golbin dungeon Gray had cleared in the past, there was no main village at the center, instead, there was a hub of tunnel entrances.
The group members spoke to each other silently and decided on which tunnels to enter, most of the groups deciding to go into different tunnels.
Gray waited for the paramilitary group to choose a tunnel, and followed after them after waiting for a few minutes.
The tunnels weren't that dark as there were torches mounted on the walls at regular intervals.
'It seems kobolds have an intelligence of some sort,' thought Gray as he examined one of the torches.
*Crunch*
Gray had stepped over the corpse of a kobold, its tiny bones cracking under the weight of his body.

'Small body frame, with canine-like legs, probably agile as shit, and long fangs that can probably tear your eyes out. They'll probably be harder to deal with than goblins in an open space," analyzed Gray as he examined the kobold corpse.
"Huh, what's this?" wondered Gray as he saw something blue shining within the kobold's bloody corpse.
"Hmm, this really is like a video game," murmured Gray as he pulled out what seemed to be a blue gemstone from within its split skull.
"I'll have to ask those information guild bastards what this is about later," decided Gray, putting the gemstone into his pocket, and continuing his march.
Along the way, Gray found many kobold corpses sprawled on the floor, and each time he came across them he would split open their skulls and pull out a blue gen stone.
*aaahh*
Gray heard a scream from the other side of the tunnel, followed by the sounds of gunshots.
"It seems it has already begun," smiled Gray, running as fast as he could to catch up to them.
"What the hell is that thing?!" shouted one of the men wearing military gear.
"Probably the dungeon boss," replied their leader, using his M-16 to shoot at a kobold holding a magic staff.
The kobold put up a force field, blocking the bullets and causing them to bounce back, piercing through one of the paramilitary member's heads.
"Fuck! No wonder everyone else died," said the leader, breathing heavily as he hid behind a stalagmite.
Around the kobold boss lay the bodies of dozens of people, probably its past victims.
"We have to get the others for help, there's no way we can kill this thing al-" a girl from the group was about to say before a gunshot silenced her.

"Maggy!?" shouted the leader as her body went limp and fell to the floor, a bullet wound visible at the back of her head.
"What the-" another member was about to say, before a chain wrapped around his neck, and dragged him back into the darkness, snapping his neck in two.
Gray had gotten behind the stalagmites as well and started taking care of the paramilitary members. Making sure to hide in area covered by the shadows cast by the stalactites on the cave ceiling.
"Whose there?" asked the leader, only one other member from his group left.
The kobold boss shot a fireball at the stalagmite that he had been hiding behind, causing it to fall over.
"Fuck! Henry cover me!" ordered the leader, however, his command fell on deaf ears. Henry's head rolled over to him, and two red gleaming eyes floated in the darkness of the cave.
The kobold boss shot another fireball, causing the leader to roll backward to avoid it. Gray took this to his advantage and threw a shuriken at the leader.
The leader lunged to the side, just barely avoiding it, and began shooting blindly into the darkness. Gray hid behind a stalagmite, avoiding the bullets.
The kobold boss approached the leader, holding up a force field as it did.
The leader turned to face the oncoming boss, however, this was a fatal mistake.
A blood-red sword protruded from his chest, the boss looked down, trying to cover the blood that gushed out of the hole in his chest, but it was already too late. He fell to the ground, dead.
"Thank you for the guns," laughed Gray as he absorbed all the blood from the leader's body.
The kobold boss shot a fireball at Gray, prompting him to create a tower shield to protect himself. "Just wait your turn will you," said Gray as he picked up the M-16 that the boss had been holding.
"Ugh, this will take longer than the pistol since it's more complex. I don't have time for this," said Gray as he turned his full attention to the boss. "Looks like I have to kill you first,"
Gray turned the tower shield into a long-sword, swinging it at the kobold boss.
*Cling*
The sound of Gray's sword reverberating as it hit the kobold boss's force field echoed throughout the cave. "Hmm, it seems you're going to be a lot of fun," smiled Gray, turning the long sword into chains.
Gray threw the chains at a stalactite, wrapping around it and tugging at it will all his strength. The kobold boss kept its force field up out of caution, scared that perhaps this was a tactic to make it lower its guard.
"Fuck, I'm not strong enough," grunted Gray, as he created a blood pistol in his left hand and shot at the stalactite.
"There we go, suck on this!" shouted Gray, as the stalactite fell on the kobold boss.
"That wasn't so difficult now wa-" Gray was about to say before the kobold boss climbed out of the rubble, its eyes glowing blue in anger.

Shatter the Heavens; Slaughter the Gods
Arminius of the ancient era stood over mankind with the ability to perform magic. His ability allowed him to triumph over mortal armies and carve a domain for himself. Then, the martialists attacked. Their individual strength was lower than that of magicians, but the sheer number of them made them an unstoppable force. In the wake of tens of thousands of martialists and hundreds of thousands of mortal warriors, one lone magician was unable to stand against the tide. But, the powers of a magician allowed Arminius to escape the cycle of reincarnation, landing him an eon into the future. In the new age, magicians are entirely extinct, and the martialists from the old era have perfected their martial way, allowing them to attain godly powers that far surpass what Arminius was ever capable of. So, what else should Arminius do except learn their method and use it against them?! Reincarnated as Andric, he seeks to gain the powers of the martialists and reclaim his position at the throne of the world! A fossil of a bygone age where magic was rampant and he ruled with an iron fist, Arminius is reborn into a world in which magic is fading. The non-magical revolution successful and his rule long over, he must master the new ways of martial arts to rule anew.

Joshua Durand has always lived in someone else’s shadow, a side character in someone else’s show.His brother was the real hero of the tale, or he was until his ‘friends’ stabbed him in the back.Now though, he’s got a chance to step into the spotlight, as long as he’s willing to make a deal with the devil.He doesn’t know if this is the right decision or the wrong one, but what he does know is “It’s showtime!” --- This is forum quest story taking place in the same city/setting as my other stories: The Huntsman's Quest and Hacking Reality stories meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
