《The Angle of Death and other Mathemagical Hazards》First Sine of Trouble
Advertisement
Plavi was having a rough day. No matter what he did, everything came out .... mediocre. Getting out of bed, he didn't notice the first Sine of Trouble. His teeth felt like a third of them had been brushed some well, some just ok, and the other third were growing pelts of various fuzzy lengths. There was an odd pattern to it, a clumping centered around the best tooth and the worst. His body felt much the same. On average, he was due for a shower, but some spots just felt more clean, and others less. It wasn't even by where on the body. One armpit was putting out massive BO, and the other smelled like he'd just washed. Both eyes were gummy, but both nostrils were unusually clear.
Grumbling to himself, Plavi walked into the bathroom and started the shower. He grabbed a swig of mouthwash to try to clean out the odd feeling in his mouth as he blearily peered at his reflection. To his surprise, there were something like very faint stripes on his face, evenly spaced. He sprayed some of the mouthwash on the mirror in shock, but managed to keep swishing most of the rest for the recommended 30 second rinse, then spat it into the sink.
Grabbing up a hand towel he wiped at the mirror, clearing the spit and mouthwash from it, but leaving the mirror with some faint streaks.
A soprano impish giggle startles him, but fortunately the mouthwash hazard has been dealt with, so no further spew arcs from his mouth.
"What the…." Plavi looks around, then shakes his head. "I must not be fully awake, need to hit the shower."
Suiting action to words, he entered the shower, where, on average, he got soaked. The water felt very odd, instead of merely running down his body, it was actually flowing in standing waves, crests and troughs rippling as the water flowed through them, but the peaks and valleys stayed in the same places.

"I'm clearly dreaming." Finishing up his shower, he turned off the water and dripped dry for a few moments, before grabbing his towel and vigorously wiping himself down. The water formed dark bands of nearly dripping sodden areas interspersed with completely dry lighter areas.
"Clearly." The giggling resumed. Plavi ignored it, whispering to himself quietly. "Just an odd dream."
The giggling faded away as Plavi brushed his teeth.
A childish voice carried over the humming buzz of his electric toothbrush. "That was fun but he's kinda boring, who's next?"
The mirror was splattered with toothpaste, as Plavi recovered from his brush with the first Sine of Trouble.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
