Refuse that shit! what the fuck is the Goblin thinking!
Receiving the refusal was a deep blow to the Goblin's pride. He started fuming with anger as he strode towards me. I started panicking a little, but why the hell was I to be scared of a fucking little goblin? I didn't care whether he was a named monster, I was still the dungeon-core, I had control over him.
Order goblin to stop.
What the heck? Gloria, what's going on?
>
And now you tell me that? What the fuck, are you stupid? You should've told me that earlier.
>
Why the heck was that not a default directive? WTF. Also, what should I do?
>
>
Why the fuck did I sign up for this... Oh, yeah, I didn't, fuck me.
Give me the Goblin A's Status Page.
He's much weaker than I thought, should I fight him?
>
Yeah, yeah, I guessed that, shut up for now ok? I'll talk to you when I need ya.
>
Now, where was I, right, trying not to die. How the fuck am I gonna kill this guy. I could punch me, or maybe...
Open Dungeon Inventory.
Oh, crap. Gotta do it barehanded then...
As I walked forward the goblin seemed even more confused, I think he had thought I would just concede instantly.
When he reached me, my first move was to punch him in the face. God that felt awful. His body was covered in some sort of slimy goo... Fucking disgusting. Despite having fallen to the ground the goblin hadn't given up, he raised from the ground plunging forward, and managed to hit me, piercing my flank with its dagger.
Oh, shit, what do I do now? I'm bleeding!
Wait... I'm not... What? Oh, right, this ain't my body.

The goblin was completely dumbstruck when I ignored the dagger piercing me from the side and delivered a heavy blow to its face with my elbow. It screeched in pain as it stumbled backwards, holding its broken nose. Its next attack though was filled with hate, I barely could even react to it. The dagger slid right through my throat, returning my vision back to the floaty one... I still had quite a lot of mana left, since I hadn't used my body at all it barely consumed any of it before.
Refuse it again, I'm killing this bastard right now!
The goblin became even more confused, I think he thought I was the Dungeon Master, and having "killed" me would clear his path to take control over the dungeon. Little did he know, he didn't even hurt me... That didn't mean I didn't feel the pain though. Oof, that was awful, but still felt artificial, like I knew that despite feeling the pain it wasn't hurting me at all. I materialized my body again, this time behind him, but I thought of something.
Open Dungeon Monster Inventory: Goblin A.
Aha! Perfect, I still have access to his inventory.
Retrieve Crude Dagger.
As his dagger materialized in my hand, the goblin started to despair, how had his dagger just vanished from his hand?
He looked straight at the core in the middle of the room and I feared for my own safety for the first time, He had realized the core was alive.
Thankfully though it had not yet noticed me just a few steps behind him.
I quickly jumped ahead, spiking the dagger through his skill as soon as he turned around to look at where the noise had come from.
As he stared straight at me, dagger handle deep into his temple. After less than a second his body limped and fell to the ground in front of me. As that happened my head was filled with announcements from the system.

NICE! Wait, why is everything doubled...
Open Dungeon Status
Oh, I got EP, how though?
>
Oh, the guy I killed... Wait What? What Enemy?
>
Oh, that alarm... CRAP! If he gets here, I'm screwed... let’s try once more!
Select Dungeon Master.
Err... What the fuck? Why have I become an option?
>
Oh, Nice. That solves a lot of things, but how the fuck did that happen?"
>
Hm... I really need to thank Virgie later... She saved my ass, it seems.
Where's the enemy? Open Map
A map appeared in front of me. It looked like a 3D radar, but the dungeon was incredibly simple, Just one room and a long, natural, cave as an entrance. The intruder seemed to be still, right after a turn in the very beginning of the dungeon. She didn't seem to have noticed she was in a dungeon yet.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
