“Shikaku, how do you think the next match will be?” Inoichi stroked his chin. He observed the arena and awaited the next match.
Shikaku massaged his temples. Once again, he fought a hangover. Stupid alcohol, he should seriously drink less.” No idea, and to be honest, I don't care.”
“And you? What do you think, Yoshino?” He passed the question to his wife to not get bothered further. Yoshino should gain him some time.
Yoshino smiled. “I am happy that Shikamaru comes next, but I am curious who he will be up against. Hopefully, not someone strong. Shikamaru isn't the most physical fighter. He might get injured.“
Shikaku agreed. Shikamaru was a tactician, not a brawler. He didn't even expect him to get this far.
Shikaku knew his son. His was giving up at the first best opportunity”
Yoshino clapped her hands. “Look, the next round is about to start!”
Two genin entered the arena. Shikaku inspected the opponents, a Oto-nin, and a kunoichi.
Shikaku raised his eyebrow. The girl looked familiar …
...
...
...
“Holy shit, what the fuck is she doing here?” Shikaku panicked. It was her. This was Asami, but how? Why? Why was she in this tournament?
Luckily, Shikamaru didn’t have to fight her. He was placed in the following bracket …
The following bracket …
The following bracket ...
...
...
...
His son was fucked. Now he could only trust in his intelligence and survival instincts. He would be safe, no need to worry.
Yoshino tugged his arm and Shikaku finally reacted.
Yoshino smiled. Her lips were strained. ”So you know this girl down there?”
“No ... Yes ... No ... Yes, I know her.” Shikaku scratched his head.
Yoshino maintained her cold smile. “And how? How does my loyal husband come to know a little girl without my knowledge? You never told me about her.”

“That's a rather ... complicated story.” Shikaku answered with an uneasy laugh. He talked too much.
Yoshino narrowed her eyes. “Don't worry, I have time.“

Asami observed her enemy. Dosu stood before her. They exchanged frosty stares and uncomfortable silence reigned.
Asami smirked. ”Unless I am mistaken, your name is Dosu?”
Dosu didn't answer. He readied his arm. A heavy steel gauntlet was his primary weapon, used to produce deadly sound waves. Like all Oto-nin, he was specialised in fighting with sound.
Asami touched her heart, disappointed by his lack of cooperation. ”Deep down in my heart, I am a benevolent person. Therefore, I offer you one last chance, forfeit and you will live.”
Dosu would die during the invasion, but her gracious act would prolong his life for a few more hours.
Dosu preferred silence. He declined.
Asami smirked. “So be it. I hope you don’t regret your decision.”
Hayate started the match.
Her opponent capitalised on her disinterest and increased the distance. He retreated backwards in the belief distance would save him. He erred, he wasn’t safe.
Asami closed her eyes and drew her sword. Confidence accompanied her.
”Naruto, I want to demonstrate you an undeniable truth, protracted fights like between you and Neji are rare on the real battlefield.”
Chakra coursed through her blade. Her steel glowed purple coated in chirping lightning.
“Fights between professional ninja don’t last long. They are decided by disparity in skill and ability. Their outcome is usually quite predictable.”
“Never forget, will and determination alone won’t overcome superior skill. Most ninja are forgotten, destined to die a lonely death. Not victory, not glory awaits them, but ... death.”
Asami struck and delivered judgement. Her sword drew first blood. Her speed unmatched, her blade impaled Dosu. Her lightning shredded his torso. Heated plasma disintegrated bone and burned flesh alike, leaving behind nothing but a gaping hole.
Asami sheathed her sword and his corpse hit the sandy ground. His crimson blood stained the arena.
Asami tilted her head and looked at the stands. Her eyes focused on Shikamaru. ”Unless I am mistaken, you are the next in line, Shikamaru?”
...
...
...
Shikamaru gulped. “Shit.“

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
