《A Dungeon in Space》Chapter 1 Waking Up
Advertisement
Dungeon Core Activated
That was the first thing I saw when I woke up.
The second thing I saw was a flat grey landscape and a white sky stretching out as far as i could see. In this landscape there was one object, a silvery gray sphere pulsing with runic blue lines with seemingly no imperfections, hovering an indeterminable distance above the ground.
When I looked at the sphere with my vision that seemed to encompass all, like some sort of omniscient god, I instinctively knew that I was the sphere. I thought back to the first thing I saw and made the connection that I must be a dungeon core. At this thought I became confused or at least I felt an imitation of confusion.
While I was adjusting to my new vision a stray thought popped into my mind. I am a dungeon core and in all good dungeon core novels there are status screens of some sort.
So I thought “Status.” and just as I expected a status screen appeared.
Unnamed dungeon

Species : Sapient Dungeon Core T1
Gender : N / A
Age : 0

Magic Regeneration Rate : 10 per Hour

Status

Intelligence : 95
Seeing as how there was a status screen I decided to ask it a question.
“Why is my age listed as zero?”, I thought and the screen responded.
“Your Age is listed as zero because you are still in the adjustment period. The adjustment period is a period all dungeons go through when they are first formed it is there to help the dungeons get used to their new form as they almost always use reincarnate souls as they are synthetic lifeforms.”

This brought a few new questions to mind and so I asked the screen one of the questions.
“What are you?”
“I am an artificial intelligence that goes by the designation A.I. 20168293. I was created to help you regulate your with your functions, provide the answers to any queries you may have, and provide ideas from a new viewpoint.”
With my first question answered I decided to ask the A.I. a few more questions.
“Who created you and how do I access my other functions?”
“I do not know who I was created by as it is missing from my files. You may access the rest of your functions after the adjustment period is over, as a new option in your status called dungeon menu will appear allowing you to interact with the world around you and build your dungeon. As of right now the only function you can access from your menu is one that allows you to set your name at any desired time. If you wait too long your name will automatically be set by the beings that enter your dungeon as your name is considered to be your most common designation separate from your titles.”
“How do I set my name?”
“You can set your name by simply saying set name to before saying the name for example if I was setting my name for the first time I would say ‘Set name to A.I. 20168293’ to set my name to my current name. ”
Utilizing this new piece of information I started thinking up a new name. At first I was thinking about using my old name, the one that my parents gave me, but then it occured to me this is a new world, a new life, why would I have to restrain myself to my old name? After all no one knew me here so why not choose a new one? So I thought for what felt like a few hours, and decided upon a new name.

“Set name to Atlas”
Confirm Name “Atlas”?
“Confirm name.”
“Name has been set as Atlas.”
“Your status has updated.”
And with that I had changed my name, and thus changed my identity. As I was getting used to calling myself by this new name, a new notification popped up.
“Adjustment Period Ending Welcome to Kaladria.”
And with that the grey landscape, the white sky, and my dungeon core, faded to black.
