《Dungeon Core Abi》Chapter 82: A Short Day
Advertisement
I was summoned with knowledge far greater than any of the ones that came before me. A collective consciousness of interwoven minds feeding me during my summoning. Helping me know what I need to, and more importantly, what I must not do.
So why is it that whenever my Master wants me to do something, I instinctively want to say no and do something else?
"Becca, come on. We're going," she told me we were going somewhere with the name she had given me. I really liked it, too, but I huffed at her when she said it for the first time. I really wanted to go with her, but I also didn't. Like it would be burdensome for me to be around her. Even though that's all I want. All any of us want.
I know this because I know them. Even though I've never met them, I know that Talia is the Taskmaster who works in the Tavern. Ali is the chef who trains others to be like her and oversees most of the food produced by our kind in Varona. I know Light is strong and Noir is loud, that Carrie is cold and Dropper is wise beyond her looks.
I know this, so why is it when my master made a Space specifically for Dragons, even though she didn't have to and she staffed it using the very system that created the dungeons, why do I not want to go there?
"No. I don't want to. I'll stay here," I told her defiantly, even though I wanted to go. I really did, but why can't I just lie here on her futon for a while? What's the big deal?
I mean, I get it. I do. She's my Master. She summoned me. This woman who is still smaller than me, even with my human form shrunk as low as it will go, this little packet of power that I can see with my mana-infused senses, strong enough to just slap me into eternity, why is it that I want to challenge her?
She's my master. I should listen to her commands without question, just like the others do. I should follow their example as they suggested at my birth, but I just don't want to. I want to do what I want to do. Not what they say. But... I really want to listen to my Master too. I just...
My Master apparently didn't take no for an answer as in a flash I was laid in front of a magnificent Palace. Well, for human standards that is. It wouldn't accommodate my true body if I decided to release my transformation inside.
I hid my satisfaction and picked myself up from the floor, but secretly thanked my Master on the inside for providing me with this castle. It's almost as big as some of the major features in town and with Sis here I'm sure it will end up larger. It will need to be if my Master decides to summon more of us.
The triplets seemed to like it, but they don't really stray far from her side. I really want to thank her, but I am definitely not saying those words to her face. There's no chance that's happening because I... I just can't.

What can I do to show her that I'm grateful for this place she has rewarded me with? There are lots of things here, many of which I haven't seen before but somehow know they're activities for fun. That said, the one in the corner looks easy enough as all I have to do is bash away with these sticks to make sweet music.
With that I begin performing Wrath of the Rebellion Dragon. Composed, performed and given as a thank you by Rebecca to Abi.
Although, I don't think she liked it very much because after eyeing me doing my thing, she shortly left. That left only Sis to appreciate my greatness and listen to the rest of the beat. Next time Master visits I'll be a master myself.
Rebecca, Dragon of Rebellion
Dungeon Stories
Waking up to the fire's warm embrace is the best feeling ever. Almost as good as being able to stretch out my kinks, unobstructed by dragons or dungeon-creating women.
Waking up in my domain is almost as good as waking up in my tower was when it was just me. The sunrise over Varona is just the best sight in the world. I suppose it's even better when shared with others
The book I was reading is next to me on the floor and I can't help but think about similarities between what I read and Dungeon monsters, more specifically my own summons. Even more specifically, Light.
I know he is some type of beast(debatable) and I know Sophie isn't some captive human(also kinda debatable), but the similarities are there. Either that or I'm just looking too much into it after seeing Sophie's belly. Hell, I'm surprised I didn't find a pregnancy book...
I look toward the bookcase before shaking myself off and getting up. I'm not even going to look. I've had a lovely sleep and I wonder how long it's been since then. Hopefully the awkwardness is over and we can get on with things. Like my list of back stock.
Exiting the bubble, the triplets are still at my tower and Amber is still mid-bite on the genitalia-shaped chocolate. Not a single one of them seems to have moved and neither has the position of the sun since I used my Domain.
How is that possible?
Was she deliberately eating it in front of me to weird me out? No, the lolis are mischievous, my three slightly less so, but they wouldn't do that on purpose. In that case there's only one other answer.
I can control time!
Well, at least in Divinity's Domain. After going back in and experimenting for a while it turns out I can alter the speed of time. I can't make it any faster and I can't rewind it, but I can slow it to any pace I want. Maybe I'll be able to do more once it levels up. That's wishful thinking on my part because Divinity's Presence never levelled once on its own. It was only because the Lord of the Hay even granted my wish that I'm still alive to talk about it.
Maybe there's a cool down on his wishes? I could max my domain no problems then, but I doubt it'll be that easy. I wasn't even expecting him to do my presence when I joked about it, but that was my wish gone. Over. Finito.

"If that's not gone in five seconds, I'm chucking it," I tell Amber as she swallows the whole thing down on one go. I'm happy that it's gone, but the sight was not pretty. I'm going to do my utmost best to ignore that this ever happened and I'm going to chastise the shit out of Light next time I see him.
That said, I can't believe he's allowed a second class. What should he choose? I didn't even think about that before I ran off with the girls. I just didn't know how to handle that situation
Now that I've had time to process it... I still don't know what I'm going to say when I see them. Maybe I'll just ignore that it ever happened as well. It seems like something Abi the Wise would do.
More like Abi the Cowardly.
I really want to talk to Light about that class too, but I just can't face either of them right now. Instead I teleport to the forest to see how Me's handling the monster vs adventurer problem. I haven't really had the time to ask him ever since I delegated him to the role.
"Hey buddy," I wave as we arrive. Triplets in tow, we walk up to see Me scrubbing down a strange object. What is it with him and cleaning things? Did he want to have a stupid quirk too because everyone else has one? He already says 'quite' quite too often for my liking and that's already considered his quirk. He doesn't bloody need another one.
Sighing is my go to method of venting these days and it seems to be all I'm doing recently. Other than lashing out at Sis, which I apologised for terribly. I should really put some effort into her tower when I make it. That should make her happy.
"Abi? What are you doing here and why have you brought the dragons? They're scaring the monsters."
"Sorry. I didn't think of that. I just assumed the monsters would see them as part of the dungeon."
"Not these monsters. I've set all their intelligence to zero so they're just mindless creatures. Just as wild monsters should be. I even applied the theory to the spawners." He replies as he continues working on the sandy-coloured shell.
"You've got Goblinators out here? Is that what that is?" I point at the object he's cleaning.
"Not every monster spawner has to be related to Goblins, you know? In fact for someone who claims to hate them so much, I do wonder why that was the first place your mind landed," he chuckles. "And to answer your question, yes. This is a Cave Troll spawner. The adventurers in Varona are advancing rather well under the guidance of Hana and Mira. A lot of them are closing on their second advancement. That's a pretty amazing accomplishment for a regular human."
"I know." I'm actually quite shocked at their progress myself. That is an amazing achievement and I doubt they'll stop there. With me supplying them a steady amount of monsters to level up with they're probably going to aim their sights even higher. What are we going to do when they hit their third advancement and the city is full of powerhouses?
I know it bodes well for our defences, but when our little city pops up out of nowhere and is filled with people of levels unseen in this world for a long time, what am I going to say?
Actually, now that I think about it, I don't have to say anything. That's what Mayor Kana's for and if she fails, Sacha will handle it. It'll be fine. After seeing us it's not like anyone will actually try and fight us. Hell, even the King might be wary of us. Not that I know how strong his army is.
What I do know is that the Dragon definitely had something to do with him. There's no sightings for hundreds of years and then the one time he attacks Gorn a dragon shows up. That's more than just a coincidence and if he can control Dragons, I don't know how that bodes for me.
How many Dragons does he have? Does he have more than I do? Then again I can make more with a thought. Would he be able to control my Dragons? I don't know, but I doubt Becca would listen to him. She doesn't even listen to me. Actually, I bet she probably would listen to him just to spite me. That damn... rebellious Dragon.
"So other than humans advancing well and monsters being mindless is everything else good?" I ask, getting ready to move on to my final task of the night. It feels strange that it's already night yet I only woke up less than two hours ago. I had dinner for breakfast with the girls Anya and Lola, followed by a humiliating visit to Light's.
I don't think I'm ever going to step foot in his house again. I can't. It's just too hard.
The sun began to set as we arrived at Me's and it wouldn't be long before it disappeared completely. Gone until tomorrow.
"Quite." There it is. "Can you double my funds?" He asks, looking away knowing I'm probably going to ask why, or say what for? This time though, I agree happily.
Me does a good job at whatever he does. He's dependable and actually knows the ins and outs of the dungeon gig better than I do. I also said yes because out of everything I've heard and everything that's happened in the last few days, his request seems like the most normal thing ever.
"You got it, buddy. Love ya, Me." I leave him flustered as we take our leave. Me, the triplets and a very worried-looking bear cub in Violet's arms.

Infracto Animo
Pain. Lies. Betrayal. Deceit. Struggles. Sufferings. Humans are an Embodiment of Sin. They Lie, Cheat, Steal, Kill, Threaten, Rape, Betray, and Blackmail. All of this in order to sate their Greed, their Lust, their Envy, their Wrath, their Laziness, their Gluttony and their Pride. As such, Humans go to incredible lengths to achieve their goals. This reaches the point where it can be called "Inhumane". But if Humans are an Embodiment of Sin, is there really such a thing called "Inhumane"? They say "God created us all equal." and "We are equal in God's eyes." yet why are there many people who are poor, sickly and deformed. Did they do something to be punished as such? Even before they were born? Is there really such a thing called "Equality"? Is there really such a thing called "Peace"? Is there really such a thing called "God"? This is a story about the pain, struggles and sufferings of a man bound in a loop of never ending hatred and betrayal. Will he break the loop and end his ordeals? Or will he accept his fate and accept the loop? Light and Dark; Good and Bad; Angels and Demons; Abyss or Utopia. What will the man choose? Succumb to Darkness or reach out towards the Light. Now his story begins... This story is pretty grim and depressing with vivid violence (gore on the later part). Sexual content is included but I don't plan on making this an ero-novel so it will just involve rape and (not-so)normal intercourse. MC starts normal and simple then turns anti-hero but... well, let's just say he won't stay that way but he also won't be a "good guy". Just a HEADS UP, I am not into satanism or cults or anti-christ but some themes and dialogues here are related to demons and stuff like that so to those who will read this, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. This story is a fictional novel by which is created by the author's own words and thoughts. Any person, circumstances or happenings that are written here is purely fictional and does not relate to anything that might coincide with the plot settings and characters of this story. This story is the manifestation of the author's (my) own understanding of pain, deceit, struggles, betrayal and suffering but it does not represent the author's (my) own experiences in life.

Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!
Jackson Ripper is transported with his class to another world. As one would expect, they are asked to fight in a pending war, much to Jackson's distain. But, a month after arriving he is separated from the rest of his classmates and loses an arm and a leg. Worse yet, the person who mutilated him clings to his side. Now, he begins travelling with this walking natural disaster in a strange new world. Author notes: This is a story I started writing roughly two years ago (roughly 2017) on a whim and started using it to improve my writing skills. As such, it's mostly wish fulfillment based loosely on anime, light/web novels and comics. But wait, why post my strange, gruesome dream world on the internet? Because, I have a goal of one day writing something worth publishing. But to reach that goal, I need criticism, suggestion and advice. Plus it feels like a waste to keep this beauty all to myself. I currently plan to release one chapter a week, on Saturday afternoon or evening.
