'What is it?!'
"Aizen!!" Elizabeth called after him with a panicked expression.
【Adding talent…】
"What is happening?!" The Duke entered the room with a confused expression. "Young Aizen!!"
The Duke approached Aizen quickly to check on his condition.
"...N-Don't worry, I'll be fine." Aizen realized that something good was happening in his body, so he tried to stop Elizabeth and the Duke from getting in the way. His body seemed to be being destroyed and rebuilt in the same instant.
*BOOOMMM!*
Aizen's body began to emit a rainbow glow, sending waves of mana across the room.
'Which?!' The Duke was shocked to see the amount of energy being released from Aizen's body.
-
The citizens of Kiron City looked up to the sky with a shocked expression.
The entire city of Kiron City was surrounded by a rainbow glow, giving a spectacular sight. It looked like an aurora borealis.
'Oh my Goddess, have our prayers been answered?' They think. Maybe this was a warning that everything would be better from now on.
-
The Duke used a magical barrier to stop the rainbow energy from destroying everything around. However, he was having difficulties.
Aizen also did his best to stop the rainbow energy from leaking out of his body.
【Ancient crystal is starting a fusion】

【Fusion Complete】
Aizen felt all the pain disappear immediately after the fusion was completed. Sweat ran down his face, but the pain was gone. The rainbow energy also suddenly calmed down.
"Aizen, what happened?!" Elizabeth asked, with a worried expression.
"I… I don't know. It feels like something has merged with my body." Aizen replied while looking at the crystal that was stuck in his hand, After the fusion, the crystal took on an alternation of colors, changing from red to blue, brown, etc.
"Young Aizen… I feel like you've gotten stronger." The Duke said, with a stunned expression. He had years of experience, so he was able to immediately identify the change that had taken place in Aizen's body.

Aizen also felt that something had changed in his body, so he decided to check it out.

"Unbelievable…" Aizen muttered, with a shocked expression. He didn't expect to win such an amazing item. Even without unlocking the item's maximum potential, he had incredible skill.
'Talent and Skill are different things…'
Talent is something that is part of your being, almost like a "Gift". Skill is something you can learn by other means. The rainbow body is a talent, as is the infinity inventory.
"That's great, Aizen!" Elizabeth said, seeing that he was all right.
"Hahaha! You really don't let me down." The Duke patted him on the back.
"Well, I have something I want to talk to you about." Aizen said. "Now that farming has become possible, how about we start a plantation?"
"Can we plant some herbs-"
"I have a better idea." Aizen interrupted Elizabeth's speech. "How about we plant this?"
Aizen took a blue gem from his inventory.
"A moon gem?!" 2x
The Duke and Elizabeth were surprised.
"Where did you get that?" She asked.
"Well… it was the only thing I could get in the erased castle." All of Erased Castle's treasures were taken by Shun, but Aizen managed to get the moon gem before the explosion.
"This is fantastic! The moon gem is a very scarce item on our continent, we can start a plantation and sell them." Elizabeth said.
"Well, now that you're talking about business, I'm going to have to say goodbye." The Duke could not stay long with Elizabeth, as he had work to do.
"No worries, we take care of the rest." Aizen said.
-
Elizabeth surveyed the farmland with a happy expression.

"We're finally going to plant something. However, the moon gem grows in cooler temperatures and cooler soils." Elizabeth said, with a thoughtful expression.
"I will solve these problems, no worries." Aizen flew over the field.
"We will dedicate a special space to plant the moon gem." Aizen made a 100m cut in the ground.
He did this several times to separate the areas. Each area will be used for a different planting. He also had to be careful not to harm the ground.
After separating the areas, he made a magic matrix. The matrix had the function of keeping the ambient temperature low and keeping the soil cold.
-
After several minutes, Aizen finished everything.
"Is ready." He took the moon gem out of his inventory and planted it. Elizabeth took special fertilizers and some magic items to speed up the growth of the moon gem. However, despite using fertilizer and magic items, the moon gem would still take more than 1 month to grow.
"Let me try something." Aizen felt that he might try something. He closed his eyes and imagined the rainbow-colored energy that emanated from his body earlier.
"Aizen?" Elizabeth was confused to see the rainbow energy appear around Aizen again.
Aizen focused a small amount of rainbow energy on his fingertip and touched the ground. He couldn't exaggerate the amount, or all would be lost.
The ground suddenly emitted a splendid glow, surprising Elizabeth. The moon gem grew to the stem, an overgrowth.
"Amazing!." Elizabeth said. After the stem, the moon gem becomes a flower, then this flower produces two gems. One of the gems produced can be planted, ie, a seed; the other gem is used to craft potions, scrolls, etc.
The gem that is used as a material cannot be planted, as it does not have the same property as the seed gem.
Elizabeth was also enchanted by rainbow energy. She realized that this rainbow energy could do things that would be difficult to do with ordinary mana.
'This rainbow energy seems to be a special kind of mana.' She thought.
"It's amazing for a crystal to become a flower." Aizen said. The seed of the moon gem was a crystal, but the crystal becomes a flower, a beautiful process.
"The moon gem is a magical plant. It grows due to the special properties of mana." Elizabeth said.
The moon gem is a plant that needs a lot of mana. Planting it in an environment where mana is scarce makes it difficult to grow. In addition, it also needs a cool environment to grow properly.
"It would be impossible to plant it while Kiron City was in such terrible condition." Elizabeth said, with a sigh. Even if someone tried to inject mana into the moon gem, it would have to be done very carefully, after all, even though it is a magic plant, the excess mana could also harm it. This would also not be practical in the long run. Everything needs to have a balance.
"Well, the matrices were harming even normal plants, it would be difficult to plant a moon gem here." Aizen said.
"Well, now we can only wait."
Aizen and Elizabeth decided to return home.
(Moon Gem, Flower stage)

The next day, Elizabeth delivered 200 gold coins to Aizen at the Duke's request. He sincerely thanked her and kept the coins. He also took this opportunity and decided to sell the magic cores he got and some other materials.

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

8 61A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
