020. Discovered Again
"Sigh, why is everyone around me so incompetent? Yes, I may be perfect my self with no flaws, an existence that no one can compare to. Yet does that mean I have to lower the standards for those around me?" As he was speaking the mystery man looked down and sighed before kicking the severed head on the ground. Several beings of varying sizes and shapes saw this almost casual action and shuddered while thinking how glad that they were that they were not the ones that had messed up this time.
"It took her a full month to bring this to my attention, and yet the guild master in the area was informed of it within mear moments. How dare she claim to be my closest confidant and best spymaster. she was only number 17 at best. I don't even know why I ever bothered to spend any points on her. Oh well no point in crying over spilt various fluids, I might as well send my own "delegation" over to the new neighbour."
Kick, and a severed arm went flying.
"Yes, my Master, who do you want us to send? Only you in your all-knowing brilliance and handsome-ness have the wisdom and foresight to know whom should be sent." came a reply from a small being from the crowd, it was only 91cm tall, anorexically skinny with all its bones and veins showing with blue skin and red patches here and their, 5 horns of varying colours on its head, and a long spindly tail that ended in 5 spikes of the same colours.
After hearing the question the man glared at the creature for a moment causing it to squirm in fear, then answered "Hmm, the guild has a month head start, and they are a fair bit closer this time around, so I think we should send someone with a agl or spd build... Ah, how about Grockson?"

"F..f..f.. forgive me master, but you sent him to test the new traps last week..."
"Yes, that's right, how did he fair?"
"About 5% in before he was half frozen to death... and half electrocuted to death... so half and half makes him fully dead..."
"5%? he must have levelled recently, I didn't expect him to get past 4%. Then I suppose Farlonie will do."
".... Sorry oh lustrous and shiny one, she was behind the behemoth yesterday when you forgot to take it out for a walk, and well..."
"Oh, I hit darling little Snooky on the nose with some paper for that. I felt so bad that I forgot to take her out for walkies, but doing that on the carpet is a no-no. Oh well then whatever, just go to the barracks and pick out someone that has a spd or agl build, I don't really care who anymore."
Hearing this the small creature got down on its knees and bowed down, then while still on its knees crawled backwards out of the room.
~~~
"Damn bastard, If we weren't his creatures he would have been cracked centuries ago, either by his enemies or us. Whatever, I will just go get some random kid from the breeding chambers, give them the standard "invitation" package for a idiot newborn Dungeon, and send them on their way. If they faile so what, its there heads not mine."
~~~
"Wake up you buckets of swamp rat vomit, I said WAKE UP!"
Bang, thud, slash, BOOM, splash.
"Fine, just put away the pointy and sharp things, we're up, we're up. What's with all the excitement?"
"The Lords sent us a quest! Us, a quest! I can't believe they sent us a quest! We are still only rank 5, complete newbs. They must think we are the best newbs at the moment. And it's not just any old gathering or killing quest, it's an "invitation" to a newly exposed Dungeon!"

"What, don't joke with us Greta, they couldn't have given us such an important quest. It should have been given to someone like Grockson or Farlonie."
"Shut up Liff. I'm not kidding. They really gave the quest to us. Open your [Party] window and check the quest section."
Party Quests
Dungeon "Invitation"
A newly discovered Dungeon has appeared. No information is known about it other than the location and that it is a newborn. Go and give the "Invitation" package to it.
Report to the local contact after the mission has been compleated.
100% completion reward: 65 Large Silver coins and 1,000 party EXP.
"Damn it's really there. I don't know why they would give this quest to us but hot damn am I glad they did, look at those rewards."
"I know right, it's so awesome even the EXP isn't bad, we will be able to live like tier 1 Upper Fodder for a year if we finish with 100% completion."
"Alright, let's do this. We need to get our supplies ready. The Dungeon is not really that close to us, we are almost 20 thousand kilometres or so from it."
"Right, that's just like next door... if we lived in the countryside."

8 5413Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
