《The Black Sheep Prince(complete)》Prologue

Prologue
In a world where magic exists, in a small continent in a gigantic world, different races coexist among each others, not a peaceful coexistence, but coexistence anyway
Human Elf, dwarves, demons, beast men and the enemy of all, monsters
Thanks to an existence called mana veins that can be found on the earth all around the world, mana exist all around the world generating all kind of monsters and threats
And in a world like this, humans should be in great danger, but thanks to magic, society and technology
Their society is similar to medieval, from earth with kingdoms all around but with an advanced technology thanks to research in mana and their uses
But besides tools and kingdoms, Humans have the ability to use mana directly
Sadly, not everyone can use it and there are two ways to use it. You can use the mana all around you to change to your will, or if the person can generate mana inside their body, they can use it to increase their ficical abilitis
A person that can manipulate the mana around them, are usually called magician or users of outer mana. They can change the mana at will, but are dependant of the density of mana around them, and can only change it to something specific. Some can make fire, some can make ice, some can heal, and some can even change the mana to 2 or 3 different things
As for people that can generate mana inside their body, they are usually called warriors or inner mana users. The amount of mana they can generate and the efficiency increase with training
And it's thanks to all this that humanity can stand in a world full of dangers and threats
Griffon Empire - Capital
In a world where magic exists, in a big Palace in a great country lived a prince. This prince wasn't stupid, wasn't bad looking or talentless, and you could even say he was above average

But even though he had the qualities to make a decent king, there was a tiny little problem
From the start, all his family was full of monsters
From the king and queen to his two brothers and two sisters. Their ability's were borderline insane, with him being the only exception.
The problem was he wasn't outstanding
Not only was he unable to use magic in any way, but all his abilities were considered average.
To be honest, for a noble, and even for a prince, he wasn't bad
He was smart, he was fit and even among nobles and royalty that usually had a high density of magic in their bloodline, the descendants usually had a 50% chance of being able to generate mana in their body or use ambient mana(10% for both)
As for commoners, it was usually 10% to had the possibility to use one of them and 2% for both.
Of course, not been able to use mana didn't mean he could take the throne since strength didn't matter to a ruler, it was just a convenience
Sadly, he wasn't better than his family in anything else. Every single one of his brothers and sisters absorbed information like a sponge, made everyone around them respect them and wanted to follow them, were incredible cunning and master tacticians
Her own little sister surpassed him on his studies when he was 6 while she was 5
What would you do in that kind of situation? keep struggling to surpass your brothers and their indomitable wall called talent?
Realising he had no chance of beating them in anything they do, he chose to start studying something they wouldn't, alchemy
And at the beginning, he was really focused at it (even though he really sucked)
But after an explosion that almost killed him and left him in bed for a week, he realized that he could get away from his monster family, studies and all kind of annoying stuff while recovering

So instead of fighting an impossible fight for the throne against that monster of a family,he kept studying alchemy without giving up but with the purpose of getting into a lot "accidents" over the years, and making injuries that look worse than they were.
But instead of trying to be better than his family in at least one thing, he did it with the purpose of getting into a lot "accidents" over the years, and making injuries that look worse than they were.
Of course his family tried to make him give up for his own sake, but with the excuse that if he gave up, he would keep being bad at everything, he manage to get away with it.
He wasn't dumb, he knew that talent wasn't everything, but when you compete with multiple people that makes an incredible amount of effort, have infinite resources AND have and unbelievable amount of talent, what choice do would you have?
He understood that since the rest of the family were extremely talented and he wasn't great at anything, he became last in the line to the throne and the rest of the family, nobles and population give up on him, but he didn't care
The thing is, the prince was ok with it. Since it was impossible for him to become king, even if he worked hard for the rest of his life, he decided to take it easy and enjoy been rich without obligations and responsibilities.
He even thought that for how smart all his family was, they were all fools. They chose a life full of hard work and hardship when they had the money and resources to live a comfortable life
This is the story of the trash of the royal family that is suddenly entrusted with the responsibility of ruling his kingdom and how he tries his best to get away from it.
Kings palace, The capital – Saturday, the 9th of June 7352. 03:09 PM.
A 15 years old youth was resting on his bed. He had black hair, black eyes, and an ok face, he wouldn't get the looks of the lady's as he walked or get the envy of other men, but at least he wouldn't be shot on sight because of his face, probably.
Thanks to an accident the day before he had a strange color in his face, but he was actually happy for it. It was his newest latest "accident" that have been happening in the last few years, and he was pretty happy because of it
Not only was he able to avoid his family for a couple of days, it was the perfect excuse to miss that annoying event that has the rest of the family busy.
The prince was happy reading some of the novels he bought in one of his escapes to town while eating some snack when he heard a lot of noises everywhere
Annoyingly, he decided to get out of his room and see why was so much noise outside
"what is going on?" (prince) ask the first person he found.
"PRINCE there was a BIG explosion at the royal event with no survivors....."(maid) panicking like the rest.
"Wait a minute, if there are no survivors, what happened to my family, where all there?"(prince) confused.
"sir, the whole royal family was there"(maid)
"Wait wait wait wait wait! if everyone was there, who will take care of the kingdom!?"(prince)
"well, I guess you sir"(maid) said reluctantly
"...... f*ck"

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.
