《My not so Peaceful Dungeon Life》Chapter 4: A Fungus Among us
Advertisement
2 days after my encounter with the nice merchant (you will be forgotten) another caravan pulled up behind the one that I couldn’t move. This one seemed to have one driver and two guards. One of the guard is wearing robes and carries a staff while the other has a large sword on their back and is 100% muscle. Upon peering into my dungeon I hear the the robed one who I assume is a wizard exclaim,
“It’s a dungeon!”
To which the large man replies,
“Has it been discovered yet?”
“I don’t think so.”
Replies the wizard.
After talking about the money they will get for discovering a new dungeon they decided to just up and leave! Are you kidding me I can’t even kill them unless they go in. Now a bunch of adventurers are going to start coming to my home! No way! Mr. Merchant make them come in my dungeon please! No, way what do you think you are doing!
Ugh…
They left.
I was hoping to get my fifth room soon too. Now I have to make my defences better. I doubt that an adventurer will be an easy kill even after the sleeping merchant gave me his free exp. There is no way I can win without a new powerup.
‘Dungeon Menu’
Add Room Evolve Creatures Expand Room Purchase Item Research Summon Creatures Trap Menu
I focus on the ‘Research’ option and now I have a big decision on how I am going to power up!
5th Room 20 Mp Learn Skill New weapons New creatures New evolutions Repair Core 1 Mp
At least I know how to heal but that is not the priority right now. Right now, I need to stop any more damage from being dealt to me. The ‘Learn Skill’ option is new I must have gotten it from leveling up.

I focus on the ‘Learn Skill’ option and I use the one and only,
‘Appraisal!’
Learn Skill 'Mind Magic' 50 Mp
Mind Magic
A spell that allows one to communicate telepathically and at higher levels influence one's thoughts.
Learn Skill 'Body Manipulation' 200 Mp
Body Manipulation
Allows one to freely move their body and at higher levels can even change their appearance and body structure.
Expand Domain 25 Mp
Expand Domain
Allows for one to claim pre existing land and structures as part of their domain. At higher levels allows one to claim above and below ground.
What is with these skills!? I want these! Why do they have to cost so much? Let me start from the top. Mind magic will let me talk to the humans and tell them that I am not a bad core and that it wasn’t me. Wait, that ain’t going to work. Maybe it would be cool at a high level but for now I don’t have the time to raise my skill levels. I mean ‘Appraisal’ is at level two and I appraised my wall for a whole day! But with body manipulation it sounds like at a high level I will be able to make a human form. A human form! I miss my human form there were so many pleasures to partake in. I miss my potato chips. Wait does this world even have potato chips? NOOOOOOO, my greatest joy in life might be gone. I’ll have to make my own potato chips. That sounds like so much work maybe I can get them out of the purchase item menu later. But ‘Expand Domain’. That is a whole nother story. It is like the capable man who brings home enough money every day for food. With a skill like ‘Expand Domain’ I could get lots of Dp every day. If I could expand my dungeon just 1 km I will have that village as part of my dungeon. But these are soooooo expensive. 200 Mp is way beyond the limit of my Mp.

Let me try out the ‘New Creatures’ option of the menu.
Gain Random New Creature 5 Mp Bat 5 Mp Spider 10 Mp Orc 25 Mp Troll 50 Mp Dark Wolf 50 Mp
Right now the only options I can afford are a random monster or a bat and let me be real here. Who ever heard of death by bats. Although my bats would be pretty ripped with the +1 to every stat and +2 to strength but still. I need cooler fantasy monsters than bats. Like Aka. One day Aka will be the mighty dragon boss of my dungeon. That is the plan at least. So there is an obvious choice. I focus in on the words. Then suddenly the blue screen pops up and rapidly switches between a bunch of different species names. It’s slowing down now and I can start to read them. OMG! A dragon! Oh it went away no luck. It’s not moving and it says ‘Hydra’. This will be amazing! A hydra is just what I needed (assuming I can even afford it).
New creature 'Mushroom' added to the 'Summon Creature' option of the 'Dungeon Menu'
Eh?
I wish I had a table right now so I could flip it. Not that I have ever experienced flipping a table I was too short to raise it high enough to actually tip. This mushroom had better be just as amazing as ‘Dragon’ or ‘Hydra’ would have been. I go to the ‘Summon Creature’ menu.
Fire Serpent 10Mp(-5Mp) R Goblin 2Mp C Mushroom 0Mp C
Well, I do believe 0 Mp is not a very costly summon. Maybe I actually got the best creature of the summon? Haha, after that long streak of failures on the gacha in my game, my gacha luck must be top notch! ‘Appraisal’ time to do your job.
‘Appraisal!’
Mushroom
A fungus that is sometimes edible.
Well yes, that sounds like a mushroom. Not to sure what I was expecting. A walking mushroom that is breathing poison or something. Maybe I got ahead of myself when I said my gacha luck was getting better. This is definitely a turn for the worse. I guess I will summon a few and maybe once I have that ‘Body Manipulation’ skill I can eat them. It’s a good thing I am a Dungeon Core now or I might be drooling. Yes, this is definitely the plan let me add some in.
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
This is kinda fun! It’s like a clicker game! I haven’t played one of these since I died!
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
“Sproing!”
Oh, no! There is no room left in this room to summon mushroom!
OMG! What have I done? I totally wasted an entire room!
New title 'Fungus Dungeon' gained
'Appraisal!'
Fungus Dungeon
Increased chance for funguses in your dungeon to naturally mutate and evolve.
Wait? Maybe a giant walking mushroom that breathes poison is in my future.
Mushrooms rule!

Arnar the Dungeon
Arnar is a dungeon core. Everybody knows dungeons are evil, man-eating entities hell-bent on killing and absorbing whatever wanders inside their depths. The problem is no one ever told him that. Well, the truth is no one ever told him anything and he refused powers-that-be when they tried to make him into the proper dungeon. That should teach them not resurrect people into dungeon cores. Now it is too late. He has a perfect plan to become the best dungeon on the continent and nothing will stand in his way. Especially something called common sense. Disclaimer of sorts: I am non-native English writer that used to write mostly for himself. After my last computer decided to die on me taking all my works with it I lost the desire to write for quite a long time. This is my attempt to go find motivation to write again as this was my favourite hobby. The idea is to be held accountable. As for being non-native, I don't believe that should be a major issue as I feel my proficiency in English to be sufficient enough to not be too much of the distraction. That said, be forewarned that the rules governing punctuation are beyond my grasp. All I can do is try not to completely suck at that. As mentioned this is an attempt to motivate me to write again so any message, encouragement or constructive criticism will go long way. The cover was created with the help of http://fantasynamegenerators.com/emblem-creator.php I hope you will enjoy my story.

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.

Arca Archa
New chapter weekly. In the year 2100, later to be renamed 1 AR, the world's first stable rift finally opened. It permanently connected Earth with Arca Archa, the mythical otherworld where the basis of all our myths, legends, and folklore once stemmed from. However, tragedy soon struck the world following this historic union as the Russian Great rift Outbreak event brought about a catastrophic loss of life and left the majority of the country covered in ashes. As if that was not already enough, in the aftermath of this incident, brand new and never before seen rift events began to spring up all over the world. These rifts would oftentime connect to the many dangerous and hazardous locations of Arca Archa, rife with perils that threatened the everyday peace of society. This led to the united nations of the world's adaptation of the guild system of the Arcanians and the subsequent immigration of their people in an effort to combat, mitigate, and control these events. Now, over two decades later, Edmond lives alone in this post rift era where he has to regularly deal with the consequences and fallout of these two worlds now intertwined.
