《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.

Errant
Amateur fighter Kestril only remembers two things about her mother's disappearance: a locket and the promise she made to keep her brother safe. That promise is all she thinks of when she jumps in front of a car to save her brother. She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's. Kess's locket marks her as one of the Errant- people with control over dimensions and time, and the same people rumored to have captured her brother across the city. When a military group mistakes Kess for their enemy, she swears allegiance at gunpoint, hoping to search for her brother from within. Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary. When the murder of an important Errant soldier throws the city further into civil war, Kess uncovers a plot that could undo everything she's fought for so far. The only problem? Her brother is at the head of it. Trapped between her promise to her mother and her morals, Kess finds little use for her theatrical brawling of the past. She can only hope to find her brother before it's too late. || Update: 4/24/2022 Have decided to rewrite this novel, but will continue to post chapters of this draft, possibly with commentary.

Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
