《The Demon Lord’s Successor》7: Through The Portal
Advertisement
After Figuring that going to an adventurer filled city might be too dangerous after all you decide to that it is worthwhile to at least try and find the only person in this world that knows of your existence thus far.
“Very well, but you’re not going alone!” You say to the minotaur girl kneeling before you.
“What? You mean—”
“Yes, I’m going with you. Bring us both to that outpost!”
“Forgive me, My Lord, but shouldn’t somebody stay and protect this place?”
“There’s nothing to steal but my father’s corpse anyway.” You say dismissively, seeing that even the armor and weapons the bandits arrived with disappeared, confirming Ariadne’s information about it being an equipment summoner. Perhaps eventually finding such a summoner and getting him on your side would be of use. “And if the threat is coming from the outpost, I prefer to deal directly with the root of the problem.”
“As you wish, My Lord We will depart at once!” Ariadne rises to her feet, turns around and extends her hand in front of her, palm out.
An oval portal appears. Different shades of purple rise and fall in it, like a lava lamp. It’s just wide and high enough for you to go through one at a time.
Before departing you open your Status bar to inspect what the [Level up] granted you and—apart from a general increase in your game-like statistics—you see that you have an option to use a [Spell Point] to choose a new spell in either Warlock Specialization or Sexomancy. Or you can sacrifice that [Spell Point] to instead put it into one of the three available Traits. Every indication is that these Traits can only be leveled up by sacrificing spell points.
[Use a Spell Point!]

Healing Dungeon
// DUNGEON Mechanics will start to appear around chapter 100+/Arc 3 of the story! \ Avan, a 25-year-old young man, is torn from his rather boring life. He awakens in Aorus, a world full of magic, monsters and dungeons. By a stroke of luck and an ominous skill called "Potential", he awakens a new class never seen before called Dungeonheart (Human). Dungeons, although sentient, are never sapient nor mobile. Join Avan as he pursues his passion for healing and martial arts, and building his very own dungeon at the same time. He’s the hybrid of a moving dungeon and a healer. "Healing Dungeon" will include City building, strategy, very little romance, exploration of the world of Aorus, and a touch of power levelling. (There are elements from other fantasy novels, as well as anime, games, and more). What will all be possible with a dungeon that can move, but still brings some of the familiar dungeon mechanics along for its journey? -- Please note that the beginning and thus the first chapters were really my first writing works in english, and can only be rewritten at a later time (lack of time in favor for new chapters) --(The writing style and also the story improves VERY much from the 12th chapter at the latest! Proofreading is available, but I depend on any well-intentioned advice from you guys). If you have any questions, suggestions, constructive criticism, or just because you feel like it, feel free to leave me a comment below the respective chapters!For every positive and serious review or rating, I am infinitely grateful! ;) I am a creature of few words and the beginning is therefore a little faster than I would have liked it now in retrospect. Please do not expect huge paraphrases and descriptions of the environments, but only what is really necessary to get into the scene. Cheers and hopefully see you in the comment section.

The Blood Queen
The rain fell from the sky with ferocity and smashed into the pavement filling the air with the sound of a stampede. The noise was deafening as I struggled to stand up. The blood from my wound was covering the ground beneath me and I covered it with my hand as I pushed off the pavement. On my feet now I struggled to step towards the grass. Through the howling wind and pounding raindrops I could hear what sounded like a chant, calling me and drawing me towards the cliffs edge. "Vienna, my Queen, my blood Queen" I started to move my feet faster until I could run towards the edge. Only when I was at the edge did I turn and look back one last time at the castle behind me. I could see him standing on the balcony, he was screaming my name. I could just hear it over the rain. I unclipped my red cape and whispered goodbye to him. As he jumped off the balcony to run towards me I leaned backwards and let my body fall with the rushing water to the river far down below. I carried her whispers with me to the dark edge until they vanished.
