《Rat In The Dungeon》50. A month
Advertisement
¨Man this sucks, when are you going to finally stop bothering me¨ I am furious. These scumbags are keeping me from going home for over a month already.
Not to mention they abuse me and work me off as a slave. Like… I was this close to murdering all of them at least five times already.
¨Rose, we made you stronger, gave you equipment, let you change your class and you are still complaining?¨ Bent… that fucker. No matter what he says it sounds like you always wanted to hear it. I cannot believe I almost fell in love with this prick. Well I got used to his charm whatever bullshit he has… nowhere near insane as what I had to go through to even speak to that stupid rat.
¨Is it not what you always wanted?¨ Well yes. But I never wanted to work for free and power level forty man raid. Especially not for the purpose of hunting someone who literally saved my life.
¨Fuck you!¨ I really, really hate him… we are literally fighting a boss on floor fifteen right now… while having this stupid conversation.
Well to be specific only I am and Bent. The rest of the group is watching us and waiting their turn.
This floor is insane. If I had to say a single word to describe this stupid floor it would’ve been very easy, because only madness would suffice.
The entire floor is made to be a labyrinth full of traps and obviously monsters… but that’s not all. It also is completely random. Literally… madness.
Probably the worst floor excluding floor forty and past that.
No one ever reached the middle so far.
Apparently the highest ranked raider in the world tried couple of times and almost succeeded only for the labyrinth to reshape at the last possible moment. Well who cares. I sure as hell don’t. Why bother.
We are abusing this floor for power leveling. I have been at this for entire month. If we don’t end this shit soon I swear to god… oh well.
It was about to kill this stupid boss monster, only to get stopped by Bent.
¨Rose! This isn’t for you. Don’t be selfish¨ Yeah, yeah. I know… is it the healer turn now? Right?
¨Healer right?¨ A small nod from Bent was all I needed. I have kicked the huge shadow minotaur close to the healer. All he had to do was smack it once with his staff. Which he did.
¨Thank you¨
Sure… why not. I wouldn’t even mind if it weren’t for the fact there are fucking forty of you and we are literally doing it for the whole month already… urgh. At least I maxed out my skills with the last fight.
¨Rose? Wasn’t it fun? That last swing of his axe was so cool! I wish I was this good with an axe…¨

Sure you do… sure… this fucking bastard is like textbook assassin and a cunning politician. I sure as hell don’t believe him at all. Like he doesn’t even take the fights seriously anymore.
Well he did receive the most of the power leveling so I guess…
I mean I am one to talk… this so called boss is like a toddler that I can toy with. Fucking unbelievable how much power I got from the terror spider.
Now that I even grinded out my skills from the new class…
I still somewhat cannot believe that I got my hands on the rarest class that I wanted. I will never forget the rush I got from knowing what I can pick.
However there were few weird classes… Better hope the diviner keeps his mouth shut about those!
Queen of Blades is probably the rarest class I could’ve ever dreamed to get and I managed to get it so soon after my first raid.
The best part is, it isn’t even the last class and the classes that get unlocked are not even archived yet. Yes!
Still it sucks to be doing this mindless work.
¨Everyone, I was just informed that we are out of supplies. So obviously our little trip ends now¨ Oh it looks like I am not the only one hoping for ending this… seeing all of the happy faces after this news. Finally.
¨Let us go back to the deep city and rest. Take some days off and enjoy all that the deep city has to offer but don’t try to leave the dungeon. The ban to leave or enter still isn’t lifted¨
Urgh… after what he said we all went on our way to the closest circle… fucking hell… when can I leave? I really don’t want to stay anymore.
However I understand that I simply cannot go against royalty… that would be suicide. I just have to play by the rules. Being strong doesn’t mean being immortal.
We got lucky and we didn’t face any reshape so we got straight trough to the closest circle and without any delay went trough.
¨Alright everyone… I will take care of important matters outside and you all will have to stay here for some time. I will be back as soon as possible I promise¨
Everyone, me included wasn’t really interested. We knew too well that he wouldn’t give a shit about the ban since he is the one who made it in the first place.
So what will I do for now? I should probably sleep in a proper bed after so long and even take a nice shower. Heck anything ladylike or I will turn into a complete savage. I am damn sure I smell pretty bad… really fuck you Bent.
I am even lucky that I don’t care as much but there were more than one girl in the raid and I can already tell that they are surely thinking the same.

Bent went away and we kinda scattered. Few formed groups were noticeable but a loner or two wasn’t that rare to spot. Me included obviously.
It isn’t like I wouldn’t enjoy socializing but the situation as a whole made it really awkward for me. I imagine it could be the same for them to interact with me. Well no time for useless things. It is time for me to take a shower get new clothes and eat good food.
Both visually and internally I have been neglected. I have been on a ratio food for a while. Not going to pass the chance to get some proper food.
Now… we got a chance to scout the city a month ago so I was a bit familiar.
Not really that much but I already knew where to go. There was a really good and luxurious hotel for the rich. Who cares when you have a free pass for anything you want. We at least got that privilege from Bent.
It didn’t really take me long to reach the place. The city was bustling at all times as usual. Really people living there their whole lives are crazy but I admit that I envy them a bit. I have never seen a more beautiful and clean city than this one. In fact maybe even the safest, despite the unbelievable placement.
It does make one think how is this possible. Oh well.
I have entered the lobby. The service is great and all but I was a bit too impatient. I basically rushed everything and was in a room in a flash. I swear I don’t even remember who I talked with… haha.
The room has amazing view into the depths of the expanse and everything in the room was simply too luxurious. A small bar included. It was large too but I didn’t really care about the details and was already naked and on my way to take the shower.
Man… this is it. This is the best. I missed this so much.
What do I do from now on though? I am really getting sick of being pushed around by Bent and his lackeys. Wait? Am I not one of his stupid lackeys as well? Fuck!
Well yeah… I need to think of something. What if they really make me fight Felix? I don’t want that but I wouldn’t let him just murder everyone… wait what the hell am I thinking.
The mere idea that he could kill them all is absurd. It would be absurd even before but now… surely there is no way.
I might have overdone it with the tempo. I was even kinda doing it a lot slower than I could have.
Just to pay back a little but… it still was a ridiculous pace.
I highly doubt any of them is lower than level five hundred. Probably even more.
Well it would’ve been too obvious if I didn’t murder everything comfortably so I guess there was no helping it. After all it would be really bad if they started questioning me again with the truth crystal.
I doubt they would let me lie and get away with it.
So… what do I really want to do about all this? Despite all my bitching I was really having fun and if it weren’t forced on me I think I would be really happy grinding out my skills and getting so much experience in fighting monsters.
That is a big reason why I am also grateful to Bent. Well also the infinite spending he provides us within the deep city is also really helpful.
He is really likeable person overall. I think I got to know him relatively well and he isn’t someone evil per say. So why would he go about and try to murder a monster that is literally saving people lives?
There has to be a reason and I doubt he will tell us since he didn’t so far.
I do suspect that he might not be after Felix that much lately though. I think that if he really was… we would go so differently about it and definitely not spend so much time power leveling.
I am sure he has other motives. Maybe even more than one.
The worst about it is that I also think I am included in his scheme. I do not like to be a pawn for someone that doesn’t even have the decency of telling me about it. Oh well.
This is what I needed so much. I am currently drinking a beer after the shower while looking at the amazing spectacle. The mana down there is really beautiful. I don’t think I have ever seen more magnificent barrier either.
I cannot easily decide what to do… so I will use this time to relax as much as possible. This infinite courtesy will end some day and then I will probably never ever approach even close to this luxury again.
For some reason I also cannot stop thinking about the rat. The day he saved me I nearly killed him and he was definitely so weak back then. Yet he still managed to kill a monster way above his league. Just what kind of secrets does he have? I am sure that Bent wasn’t kidding when he said rat killing that spider is mathematically impossible. But it happened.
Well thanks to that I live… Hahahah.
Felix. Whatever you are doing right now. I really hope you are not slacking.
I really hope. Because we are not.
And we are coming.
Soon.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).

It's my first attempt at writing and I've been planning this story for a while now, so I hope you're as excited reading it as I am writing it.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
