AUTHOR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Hey folks, I assure you this story is not abandoned! The reason for its haitus was mostly because I was not happy with how it was unfolding. Although I did write to my original outline, many issues started creeping up including unecessary character bloat, lack of action, an under-developed world, and lack of overall conflict. Over the many past months, I have been occasionally working on this story with overhauls to many chapters as well as additions of new scenes and plot lines. One change which I feel needs to be stated here is the supporting character Aewin has been cut. A lot of profanity and sexual content which I felt was uneeded in this story have also been toned down.
I'm happy to say I have put together a finished book 1 that at least I am satisfied with! Now available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08BR99Y1R

Unfortunately, there is some not so good news, and that is most of the draft chapters that was up here on RRL have been taken down as per Amazon's terms.
Thanks for reading, and special thanks to KidBuu and Royaldarknes (and other commentors) who offered probably several thousand words worth of feedback! When the time for book 2 eventually comes, I will most likely post a draft here.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

Thousands of years ago there was a great breaking of the world. Few alive have the knowledge of why this was necessary, but in the end, the world was split into two. On the one side, a person lived in a world of controlled technology and evolution. On the other, even the basest creatures can alter the world's path. Then came a boy named Icarus, who preferred Fern, and didn't particularly want to be there. This is his story, and how he became a fable told from one village to the next.
8 149Code Scarlet
Activate Code Scarlet! After crashing on a zombie-infested world, raised by the forgotten machines of the past; Flow spends her days scavenging the ruins of the colony in order to construct the ship that would take her far away from the rotting ruins. After an encounter with an unknown and hostile alien race known as fiends, Flow stumbles into a strange vault buried below the colony. Then, accidentally, she awakens an ancient android with no knowledge of herself, fueled only by the desire to destroy the fiends. So begins the intergalactic journey to find the Aigis and continue the androids mission, to complete Code Scarlet. ------------ A tail inspired by sci-fi fantasy settings like Star Wars and Destiny, with elements of Xenosaga and Mecha anime. It's a genre I'm definitely new in compared to my other works but am looking forward to exploring what this world would have to offer. Updates will be slow and inconsistent.

"How do you run the mafia?" he questions, wiping the corner of his mouth. "Well, I ground myself enough to not let the power get to my head, but I let myself get pissed enough to deal with motherfuckers like you," I say, calmly, picking up the hammer from Cameron's hand and making my way back over to the asshole, who flinches when I crouch down in front of him. "Now, I am going to break a finger for every question you don't answer, so I suggest you start talking," Previously called 'The Female Gangleader'
