《A-Zero》Chapter 1: The Opening
Advertisement
HELLO GUYS! This is a novel that has been gnawing at the back of my head for a long time now. Hopefully, you guys will like it :D Please comments as to what you think of it.
[These doors never opened.]
[At least they haven’t opened in uhhh… 10 or so years? I’ve long lost the notion of time to the permanent darkness. But that didn’t bother me. However, the doors…Why do the Zerians never open these doors? Such beautifully constructed double doors made of materials that even nobles could rarely afford. Such a waste, it was obvious that their exquisite craftsmanship can only be truly appreciated by opening them. How could they not know this! Stupid Zerians. If they won’t appreciate it then I shall! Keep me here forever! See if I care.]
[Suddenly I realised, I loved them, the doors. When I touch the smooth slabs of Primestone I am overwhelmed by a sense of security and peacefulness. Is this not love? In the spur of the moment I silently apologize to the door. For in the beginning I had hated them, and sought countless ways to destroy them. “Please accept my apologies my dearest doors! I know that I have hurt you many times, but please, do not blame me!” I whispered. “If only you had let me out I wouldn’t have hurt you, I would’ve come to love you much faster, with affection even deeper than what I hold towards you now.”]
“ARRRGHHHHHH! IT’S NOT WORKING JURA. I just can’t imagine writing a romance novel between you and me.” I complained, “After all, it’s been 10 or so years and you haven’t even moved!”
Jura was silent. Perhaps she was contemplating what to say. I considered it but soon ran out of patience.

“You know what, I’m sick of it Jura. Whenever I talk to you you never respond, and you always sit so close to Dorando. I’m only going to talk to Dorando now!”
Once again, Jura was silent.
“Dorando, hey buddy! Long time no talk man! I was just thinking about exercise.”
Dorando, being a gentleman, waited for me to continue instead of interrupting my train of thought.
“Ok so don’t take this too hard, but I think you and Jura need some exercise.”
Dorando was quiet. Maybe I had angered him? No. I need to push on. After all this was a matter of great importance.
“Now, now. Think about this rationally. You guys haven’t even MOVED for the past 10 years. What do you think that does to your health huh? IT’S WHY YOU GUYS ARE SO HEAVY!”
Dorando was so shocked by this revelation that he froze solid and I could tell that Jura was now also listening to the conversation. Grinning, I continued my grand motivational speech. But just as I started again, I could feel Jura becoming disinterested.
“Look at me. NO JURA! LOOK AT ME! Yes, that’s better.”
After all, eye contact is extremely important when you want to get a message across.
“A person who is able to flatten MOUNTAINS with just his left hand and a sharpened stick, STRUGGLES to move you. Yes, you heard that right. “STRUGGLES”. DORANDO DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS?“
By now Dorando had probably entered a comatose state, and in fact I think Jura had just entered the “frozen from shock” state as well, but this was no time to stop, I had to give them the final push!
“IT MEANS YOU GUYS ARE FAT! YOU NEED EXERCISE MY DEAR FRIENDS!”

Dorando and Jura groaned enthusiastically in response.
Yes, that’s the way it shou- wait groaned? Were they going to leave?
“Dorando and Jura, stop that. You’re scaring me guys!”
The groaning suddenly stopped. Relief washed over me and I fell on my knees, for I had thought for a second that Dorando and Jura were going to leave me. However when I shuffled up to hug the duo, they slid away from my touch. And when I looked up I sa-
Was that light? Oh right, that’s what light looked like.
A question, then a confirmation, then I fainted.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
