Welcome newborn core
"What? What's happening?"
You can now access the following options:
Status
Menu
"I have no idea what's going on here. Can someone please explain to me what's happening?"
I waited for a few minutes but nothing happened. All I could see was the blue box. Eventually I got bored.
"Fine, Access Status."
Name Unknown Age 5 minutes Race
Dungeon Core
Health 1 Health Mana 30 Mana Size N/A Fame N/A
I didn't know why but I could understand all that was written in the blue box. A small relief at least. Apperently my race is something called Dungeon Core. Whatever that is. I'm also a newborn. Just 5 minutes old. Wait... how do I know how long a minute is and how can I count?
Dungeon Cores are born with the basic understanding required to perform the task given to them. It was made clear long ago that without such knowledge no dungeon core could ever fulfill the role intended to them.
A while after finishing reading the new blue box is disappears. Well that didn't help much. So I'm supposed to know what my purpose is when I'm born? Then why am I so confused? I have no idea what's going on. Maybe...
I try to relax and remember something, anything really. After a while I give up. Seems like whatever knowledge I was born with isn't something I know or at least not something I can remember knowing. It might show up later. I comfort myself with the fact I'm a newborn. I'll have time to learn I'm sure.
I check my blue box containing my status again. Aside from the fact my age has gone up 9 minutes everything else has stayed the same. I wonder if this blue box will disappear too? Just as I thought it the bue box disappeared and I was in darkness. Don't panic. You can do this. I try thinking "Status" again and the blue box appeared again.

It's comforting to have something to look at. I wonder.... maybe I should try the other thing I could do?
"Access Menu"
Menu Construction
Well that's not much. It doesn't tell me anything. I try to focus on the word that isn't menu. Maybe something will happen. If not I'm out of ideas.
Welcome young core. Here is where you build your dungeon. All dungeon cores must start by building their Core room. This is where you'll spend the rest of your life. Note that as you grow your core room will move and grow with you but you will never be able to move out of your Core room. Please start by selecting where in the world you wish to placed. If you have no preference just select "Random placement"
Where in the world I want to be placed? How am I supposed to know something like that? I wish there was someone that could help me with this.
Help can only be accessed after placing your Core room. Do you wish help after placing your core?
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Anthing to make this less confusing. Well I guess I'm not getting any help with this. Since I have no idea about the world I'll just go ahead and select "Random".
"I select "Random placement"
Placement selected as random.
Accessing worldmap...
There are currently 673946 places suitable for Dungeon Core placement. Since no preference was given the system will now randomly locate a suitable home...
Placement selected. Illana continent, Lyria kingdom, White Peak mountain.
Please prepare for location transport.
Good luck young coreling.
"Prepare for location transport. What does that mean?"
I never did get an answer as the next thing I knew darkness returned and my body was filled with pain.

8 8029Starlight Antiquities
There is a place in the galaxy that deals in antiquities of all kinds, human and non-human alike. Its inventory of artifacts is colossal as is its inventory of mercs who they hire to acquire any artifact a client may wish that is yet to come into their possession. The ill-reputable business is constantly rubbing against the changing tolerance of the Union's government, and there are many security officers who would love nothing better than to vaporize the whole place with its owners inside. Yet, there are many tasks that nobody can do better, especially in the vastness of deep space where Union law is worth less than the energy needed to display it. One of its jobs involves finding an artifact that may not only hold the future of the human race but may also disturb the balance of the whole galaxy. *** While waiting for the next season of Mandalorian and the Witcher, and rewatching Firefly for the gazillionth of time, I decided to write this space-based series. The series has some litRPG elements in it, but it does not read like one. So, you won't run into any blue screens here. Yet, I wanted to use litRPG to give another dimension to this whole story and make it as unique as possible. This is a work-in-progress. Hope to keep on improving and fixing my mistakes as I go along.

8 150Countdown to Inferno
"Everybody wants to rule the world... even if it's a destroyed one." Three great powers divide the known world. One of them is on track to offset this power balance as it seemingly undertakes the grand task of unifying the world. After 100 years of brutal economic, military, political, and even religious campaigns, the Republic of Dalreida has achieved a vast empire stretching from the Cargan Ports to the Aramathian Desert. May they be gods and goddesses, or princes and princesses, the rising republic has embarked on depriving nation upon nation of self-governance. In the midst of all these, Dalreida's primary personality, Lord Piso, has been serving as the republic's dictator for six years. Entering his seventh year in office, he shocked allies and enemies alike with a hazy calendar reform. Along with it is a pledge to pass on the reins of power after the so-called "longest term." Then again, to whom will it be passed? Or will it be passed down at all? With so much at stake during the "longest term," what does Piso's gamble entail for Dalreida and the world? Will it bring heaven on earth? Will all hell break loose instead? Or something else in between to purge the world of everything it ever had?

Jotaro wakes up in the hospital after the battle against Pucci. He wakes up to see people he doesn't know, nor why he was there. Nor does he remember himself. As far as he knew, one of them was his daughter and the other is his current lover. **IMPORTANT NOTE: The canon diverges from the guys VS Pucci when Jotaro has to make the choice. As an X Reader, we do not mess up the story as we know it until that part.**
