《John the Average Knight: Marvellously Mundane》Book 1 Chapter 6
Advertisement
John flopped onto the floor, panting heavily.
“Remind me…” He gasped. “Why I’m doing this, again?”
“I’m just doing what you said to do, so don’t blame me for this.” The General’s tone was apologetic, but the knight could see the smirk on her face.
My sister… she’s pure evil! Cold-hearted! Sadistic! Cru-
To be fair, you did tell her to do this.
I told her what you told me to, Hud!
John heard a sigh from his psychological partner. And we’re both trying to help make you stronger.
“How is pelting me with stones going to help me!?” The knight screamed in frustration. “The first day, it was running for hours, without break, in full plate-armour! Then it was practising the sword from dawn till dusk! I could barely put up with th-”
John stopped to duck under a rock that would have struck his head. “Jane, please! Would you s-”
“Stop complaining, little brother! I’m doing this for you!”
She’s right, you know. The only way to level up is to do things related to your class – and you’re a Forsaken Knight. That means seeking revenge against your Queen and, to do that, you need to get stronger. Hence practising your fighting skills and improving your ability.
Another stone flew by, narrowly missing the pained knight.
And stop dodging them! We are training your ABILITY, not how well you can dodge! Try to figure out when and where the stone is going to hit you and become intangible for a moment!
John groaned. “Fine!”
Groaning as he straightened his back, the knight spoke. “Okay, sister, I am-” He shrieked as he was rapidly pelted with stones, loud clangs emanating from his armour on contact.
“Patrick! Not you, too!”
He heard a low chuckle. “I am sorry, Sir John, but this is for your benefit.”

Just concentrate, you could actually do it if you tried!
Glaring at his self-proclaimed friends, John watched as they readied to throw more stones. This time, they were aimed directly at his centre mass.
The man grunted in concentration; bending his entire will towards making himself partly incorporeal. He winced, closing his eyes as the rocks shot towards him, but John was stunned when he never felt the pain of their collision with him.
Conditional Intangibility has gained improved to +3!
Forsaken Knight is now Level 2!
+1 Strength
+1 Vitality
+1 Endurance
“Ha! It’s now- Ow! Damnit, Jane!”
John could’ve sworn he heard his sister muffle a laugh. “I thought you had it that time! Sorry!”
“I did, but I got distracted when I got a… What is it called, Hud?”
A notification, or a pop-up.
“Yes, I got one of those. A pop-up.”
What did it say, John?
“My ability increased by one, I think? And I am now a level two Forsaken Knight.”
That’s great! You know what that means, right?
“That I can finally rest?”
No, even better! It means that this training was working! It means you keep on going!
John groaned as hail of stones were thrown at him.

She's already given up hope of ever going back to her homeland with her head held high, and getting justice against those who drove her away.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

UNSPOKEN
Unspoken is a book filled with poems and songs I've made throughout my life. Each chapter will be either a song or poem. They are similar to what many of you have experienced in life... featuring love, heartbreak, loneliness, etc. These are all the emotions I was never able to let out so I chose to write them out on paper.
