《The non-adventures of a Dungeon Core》Chapter 1: Newborn

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.

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]

Chosen for an Emperor, whose very name renders shivers down one's spine and who's sinful deeds haunt the empire's dreams. She has no choice.
