《The Undead Dungeon》Chapter 7 - A "Chance" Encounter
Advertisement
Evelyn Moonsong was the princess of the Evermoon Kingdom. The Moonsong family have been ruling the Evermoon Kingdom for over 2000 years. For three generations they have guided, cared for, and protected the people of Evermoon. Evelyn was supposed to be the next in line for the throne, but everything changed when the Church of The Sun God attacked.
The royal family was branded as heretics. The church accusing them as demon followers, their voices that calm monsters were said to be a demon's gift. The church blamed my parents for the monster attack and said to the people that we have been sacrificing people to monsters to appeased our demon master. My parents were captured and sent to the gallows, but not before they sent me through a secret tunnel and told me to run as far away as I can.
I ran to the forbidden forest as fast as I can crying all the way. I ran for three days surviving on berries alone; barely getting any sleep as I was worried they would come after me. The worst part about this whole ordeal was that the people chose to believe the church rather than those that have helped and protected them.
It looks like I was followed. I need to run, I can't get captured here I must get revenge for my family. Three men are chasing after me, I need to run. There is a cave up ahead, maybe I can lose them there. This place feels like death, but if I stop I will die anyway, so I need to keep running.
"Boss this place feels like it's a dungeon, do we really need to follow her?" said the Scout.
"Of course, if this place is a dungeon and she dies alone in here the dungeon will absorb her and we will have no proof that we killed her," said the Boss.

"She is getting away boss," said the Archer.
"Go, we need to get her head for the bounty," said the Boss.
I can still hear them talking, I need to get away. This place is really scary, a graveyard with dead trees everywhere, there is a corridor up ahead maybe there is a place I can hide there. After running I saw a beautiful forest in front of me, no time for sightseeing I need to hide. I trip on a branch, I feel like I'm going to die here, the men are getting closer.
"Any last word girl?" said the Boss.
"Go to hell," I said with anger.
Before he can cut my head off, six wolves come and attack him. They bit his arms and legs and one scratches his face.
"What are you doing shoot your arrows and help me fight these wolves!" yells the boss angrily.
But, they can’t help him as the archer was being eaten by a zombie while the scout's leg had been torn off by the two other zombies. When the boss sees this he feels helpless and tries to run away, before he can a wolf bites his neck and blood gushes out of him. This causes me to puke, looks like I'm next and will die being killed by undead unable to take revenge for my parents.
“Little girl, if you answer my question I’ll make sure that my hounds don’t eat you.” says a ghost.
“Ok,” I said since I don’t want to die.
“Who are you and why were they chasing you?” asks the ghost.
“I am...was the princess of the Evermoon Kingdom and those men want me because the Church of the Sun God put a bounty on my head.”

“Ok my hounds won’t kill you, Helen will,” He said smiling.
As soon as he said that a hand passes through him and stabs me in the heart.
“You lied,” I said weakly.
“I didn’t lie, my hounds didn’t eat you right?” He says with a menacing grin.
*Adam’s POV*
Didn't her parents teach her not to trust strangers? Especially if that stranger is a dungeon master with undead as monsters? Well, it's their fault for bothering me while I was trying to upgrade my dungeon.
Adam, would you like to absorb them or revive them as undead?

"Absorb the three men and turn the girl into a banshee."
It looks like I was wrong about the three men being bandits after all. This wasn’t a runaway slave cliché, it was a fallen princess cliché, well, either way, all of them died, but the church won’t stop looking for her so I need to prepare. Judging by what Mike described the church, they won’t leave an undead dungeon alone.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
