《Dungeon Instinct》the future for D.I.
Advertisement
............ so yeah the next chapter is coming soon..... kinda.... maybe.... but it WILL be D.I. instead of L.Z:I so you may rejoice!!!
annnnnnddddd now you may despair as my writing time keeps running into obsticales.... namely my math course and coming saterday a new puppy for the family...... one that will need to be trained and i will have to try and convince to love me more than my parents...... yeah...... so delays be real IRL....
anyway imma try making tomorrow a super writing day... maybe... if i can.... let's aim for 3 chapters (realistically i'll probably only manage two.....).........
enough about that though, it's time to talk about the wonderful world of the future and what i'm currantly planing to do with D.I.....
caution there may be spoilers ahead but nothing is currently set in stone for any of this..... (kinda a duh thing....)
so first let me start with the dungeon lord, i.e: Waynor's future body..... yeah that wont be coming for a while.... mid ark 2 at the earliest... "but why Author? Waynor can't have sexy time without a body!!!!" .......Um well, i guess he could in a way as a core, but that's not the point here...... the point is that i feel that the whole dungeon lord thing should happen further on in the story for things to make sense with what i'm trying to do......
next we have all the creations that will come along in the future.......... *sigh* there are a fuckton...... no i'm not gonna list them, yes they might be in the menu.... humanoids (pixies, taurs, human level intelligent creatures, and other "kinda sorta" types don't count in this projection.....) aren't gonna be for a while though, some time in ark 2........
traps...... well there will be more traps.... what else can i say? oh, i know! the traps are gonna get more complicated, hidden, and deadlier because "duh" this is a dungeon story........ i'm also going to be adding puzzles and riddles and stuff, those will be labeled under traps for author convenience...... ah what fun it will be to write about adventurer types getting stuck somewhere in the dungeon because they cant figure out the riddle or puzzle that unlocks the way out........ Muhahahahahaha.........

characters..... there are gonna be a LOT!!!! yes there WILL be a harem, and yes there will be all sorts of character types....... and let me say this now: "While there will be no real NTR in this story (does taming random monster mobs count as NTRing a dungeon? huh......), characters WILL die. this story has a tragedy tag for a few reasons, and one of which is because i reserve the right to kill off whoever and whatever character i like if i think it'll further the story. will those deaths be permanent? maybe.... i don't really DO plot armor, Waynor isn't always gonna come out on top, that would mean there is no real conflict or threat in the story......... but i have a rule for MC's "Don't kill the MC off for good unles 1: the story has just ended, 2: your about to make a transition to a new MC that was foreshadowed to prior, or 3: it's just that sort of story and there are multiple MC's that can continue the story............."
grammer and edits..... so let me say first: "the ellipses will stay on RR..... no changing that, period...." that said when/if i make my stories into an e-book they will be less, um........ long? i'll just stick with the classical three dots like in *shivers* "normal grammar"........ Ugh, that hurt to even think let alone type........... on to edits and the cleaning i'll be doing here on RR.... there wont be much.... basically i'm aiming for decent and readable with a flow that helps with reader immersion, but i KNOW that my chapters are far from perfect. i doubt that even if i tried editing seriously i could bring my posts up to a profession publication level of grammar and syntax. i'm just not THAT good, plus i WROTE the stuff so of course i'll miss stuff since my brain will just fill in the story as i know it and not what i wrote down....... plus i wouldn't try doing that anyway since one of the main selling points of the e-book (if it ever comes out, Sally damn it takes a lot of money to make a book.... even just a digital one....) will be that it was edited by a person not me, hopefully a professional.......

my schedule....... Random releases........ RANDOM!!! i do absolutely horribly under the pressure of a deadline and i have motivation and inspiration that fades in and out depending on the day......I'll write when i can and feel like it, and have the 4-8 hours free it'll take to make a chapter....... i can promise nothing more than that and the fact i will try my absolute best to finish all my stories regardless of any hate, hiatuses, or spotty internet connections...... it just might take a while....... but hey, you made it this far, just strap in and hang on for a bit of a long ride (over 100 chapters!!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!)
the fan base........ it must grow.... GROW!!!!!!!! seriously though, as of right now the thing i'm getting out of this whole writing thing is the joy of reading comments (the longer and cleverer the better.... you guys KNOW i love me some fan theories.....) and the feeling of sharing my stories..... hell even the money from my patrons is only leading to my creation of an e-book to FURTHER spread my tales..... and sometimes emergencies like: "oh fuck i have no gas money and i'm running on fumes!!!" or ".......did my computer just get a virus? .......fucking useless mcafee protection...... *grumble grumble*"
....... so yeah, i read every comment, review, and wait patiently (..... yeah.... totally patiently..... not anxious at all..... WHY DON'T THE NUMBERS GROW NOW!!!!...... Patience..... it's my gift.....) for my stories' ratings, followers, favorites, and views to go up...... the more i see the more i want to create more to give you guys...... so let's see some more of that stuff!!! let's grow the fiction together and share it with all!!! let's aim for D.I. to secure itself a place in the top 50 fictions and have a followers in the thousands!!!!! then let's move on to my other fics!!!! and then all of RR will eventually be mine!!! MUHAHAHAHahahahahahaha................. Er....... i mean i'll be really happy then and will give lots of chapters due to my overflowing motivation and joy..... yeah.... that's what i meant....... really...........
and lastly, antagonists...... i got a shitton of ideas that you guys will start to see around ark 2 and on...... a fanatical anti-dungeon religious group, Soulmancers (duh..... there were so many flags for them), some explorers and "heroes", other dungeons, and eventually Waynor's old demon mom........ just to name just a few....
so thats about it........ expect an update with the chapter sooner than later, i plan to finish up this mini ark in D.I. before i go back to writing L.Z:I (REALLY excited to get back to that story.... i have SO MUCH kicking around in my head that i want to do with it..... but i shall cater to the story with the larger fan-base.... for now......)
oh and do leave a comment with any opinions on what i talked about or possible plot ideas you may have, i'm working with only about 20ish chapters worth of beginning content right now and an idea of an ending..... inspiration and ideas are welcomed and encouraged.... btw i'm thinking the 2nd level will be a forest type, and the 3rd will be temple/ruins sooo...........

A Price In Memory
“The world is a dangerous place. If it wasn’t, hunters like us wouldn’t exist.” Resurrected and robbed of his memories, Gase finds himself in a body that doesn’t belong to him, with a past that is not his. Behind walled cities, people live their lives, clinging to what little safety they provide. Mages seek to regain the knowledge lost at the collapse of a past era. While beyond, hunters attempt to cull the ever-growing populations of beasts that threaten the very survival of humanity. And amidst all of this, Gase seeks to find his past and his place in the future. Unfortunately, all things have a price.
8 155Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

8 199King Eden
Two hundred years have passed and the Earth belongs to the corrupt. Society is reduced to clandestine tribes of survivors who indulge in warfare, battling one another over desolate wastelands. They are the Ancients, and Eden is their Lord. Legends cannot capture her skill as a warrior, but these stories of her ruthless past secure her title as King. A centuries-old war ravages her homeland. The tribes must unite against a force that outweighs the unnatural resilience of Earth's survivors. Mars: a utopia of refugees who outlasted the apocalypse. They spent the nuclear winter pushing the boundaries of military technology, sacrificing their resources to satisfy their greed. Now the Martian Colonies are unsustainable. Their Minister vows to reclaim the Earth for his people's sake--and he will stop at nothing to bring King Eden's reign to an end. When the Martians capture her heir to the throne, King abandons her homeland to regain the one thing that makes her human. This faces King with a savage choice: surrender to Mars in exchange for her son and the enslavement of her people, or challenge the Minister's army of metal titans and nightmarish experiments. Failure is inevitable, victory promises sacrifice. But King is no stranger to an impossible fight. After all, she is the Lord of Ancients, and power is indeed in the hands of the bloodthirsty.
