"Betty?"
"No."
"Veronica?"
"Definitely not."
"Greg?"
"....."
"How about Itty Bitty?"
"NOOO!"
"Alright alright stop hitting my crystal. I will take this more seriously. Although I don't know why you didn't like Greg, You look like a Greg to me."
"Arg, Arg, with you as my master I have no idea what kind of name I am going to wind up with. I'm sure it's going to get me laughed at where ever I go. All the other Dungeon Fairys will point at me and say "There goes the one with the funny name. Let's all go and make fun of her." Then I will have to go and hide in a hole for the rest of my life."
"Come on. I'm sure I will come up with a good one... eventually. Ok, how about Mimi? This one actually kinda fits you with how you seem to always repeat your first words."
"Mimi, Mimi. Hmm not too bad I actually kinda like this one. It's short and sweet just like me! Ok, let's go with this one, From now on I shall be called MIMI! Hello there good sir, I am called Mimi, what shall I call you? Yo, I'm Mimi, who be ya? I am Mimi, who are you? Hehe."
The [Dungeon Master] has given the [Dungeon Fairy] the name "Mimi."
"Well, I guess that means it's official. The menu system seems to have officially recognised that your name is now Mimi.
Now that that is taken care of let's see how the slime has been doing.
Sigh, the LF has only risen by 0.001. 10 bugs. This is going to take a while."
"Come on you bunch of retards. It's almost noon. I want to be able to eat some lunch after we get to the next Waypoint."

"Ugg, I have no Idea how you can eat after using those things, Beth. If I eat anything before or after using one I almost instantly have an empty stomach again if you know what I mean."
"Hehe. Lance, I remember the first time you took a Waypoint, you had just eaten a veggie Pizza. Mushrooms EVERYWHERE! The waypoint attendant had to get a change of uniform too."
At the centre of the Fyrsta Kingdom, outside the main Gates of the capital city of Jeden, a group of 4 young people were running down the road. At a glance, anyone that was nearby could tell that they were adventurers due to all the weapons and equipment they were carrying.
If you looked at where they were heading you could see a large clearing that was filled with small stalls of people selling goods from all over the place to others that were dressed like adventurers and some travellers. At the centre of all this hustle and bustle, a large platform stood. This platform had 55 stone pillars on it. The pillars were set up in an extremely strange shape. From a distance, the pillars looked like they were in a simple Circle, but as you get closer something strange happens, it looks like the pillars start to intertwine and phase through each other, then when you get even closer they take on a rectangular shape of rows.
These pillars are commonly and collectively called Waypoints. By touching one of the pillars you would be teleported to another pillar some place else in the world. They are set up by each kingdom as a form of fast travel. Due to the fact that the world is so large, it makes it impractical to travel to far places by foot. Even the smallest kingdoms size can be so large it would take years to travel by foot, if not even longer than one's life.

Of course, the kingdoms wouldn't set these waypoints up for free. Before you are allowed to use them you have to pay a fee. The further you are going to travel the more it costs. But if you are on official business of the kingdom or of the various guilds then you are allowed to travel for free.
These 4 young adventurers were Beth and her party. They had just finished doing all the shopping in the city for the quest they had received and were on their way to check out the new Dungeon that had appeared.
"Ug, it's always so crowded here at this time. It looks like we are going to have to shove our way through this time too to get to the Waypoint. Lance take the lead as usual and try not to break any one's limbs this time, Jessica had to heal so many people last time she almost ran out of MP."
"That wasn't my fault, you kept pushing me from behind and steering me into people!"
"Well you were just going so slow and they weren't paying enough attention."
"Come on you 2 stop it and let's just get going, even with the waypoints it's still going to take around 2-3 months to get to the location where the Dungeon appeared."
"Sigh, you're right Jessica, but at least the rewards are worth it this time. I wonder what our levels will be at after we Finnish this with that 1,000 EXP reward."
"The EXP is nice but I can't wait for the 65 Large Silver coins!" Exclaimed Lance.
"Speaking of which, Luc did you remember the money pouch's this time? I don't want to have to come back to get them AGAIN."
"........ One sec I have to go to the washroom. I will be right back."
"..."
"..."
"..."
About 40 min later there was a flash of rainbow light at one of the waypoint pillars and with that Beth, Lance, Jessica, and Luc were on their way to our MC's brand new Dungeon.

The Rising of a God
The story of how William Hughes became the strongest being in the universe. This story is not and will never be written in perfect English. So don't expect too much, but I will always do my best to make it as readable as possible. There will be probably one Chapter per week.
8 96The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence
