《The DT Journals》Unknown Journal Section 1
Advertisement
Day 1:
So, I've decided to keep a journal, my eye is still corrupted...no, I don't really think it could be called that anymore, more of...glitched? Yeah, that's a better word for it. Sam and Kenneth's killer still hasn't been found, but every day I get just a bit closer to the truth.
Day 2:
Crystal, by some chance, got into a fight, she ended up kicking the guy's ass, to be fair, she is kinda magic incarnate, and while I won't say it to anyone, I am proud.
Day 3:
Nicholai is acting weird, Neal as well, regardless, I need to continue working with them, for everyone's safety. Crystal also found out about my eye, and how it's corrupted, it felt like she distanced herself more from me after she learned that, then again, when has she ever enjoyed my company? Anyways... The evidence I've collected, I just need a little bit more to find the truth and yet I still feel like I don't have enough! I'll try again tomorrow, I have to.
Day 4:
I got it, I found Sam and Kenneth's killer! me and Nicholai went after them, but Crystal snuck her way into the car and tagged along...although I'll admit, if it wasn't for her, we would've died. If you read this Crystal, good job, I'm proud of ya. I won't say it in front of you though, because you're stubborn as hell, just like me...I should probably stop being so stubborn...
Day 5:
It was wrong, the suspect that we thought killed them was wrong, it was a fake confession, Neal and I went inside their head and saw so many contradictions! I'm back to square one, damn it, and now Nicholai will have to deal with the press for taking an innocent person into the HQ.

Day 6:
Nothing much to report, just writing stuff down to clear my head, things still don't make sense, why the ring finger? Why take the ring if most of Eaxura can't use magic now? Nothing made sense, and yet it was my job to make it make sense, why did I agree to this...
Day 7:
Day 7 yaaay....god, one-week writing and I already wanna stop, well, it's easier to write if you do it for a long time, so I guess I gotta continue, oh, and also so Nicholai doesn't keep asking me stuff 24/7, so I got no choice.
Day 8:
Raymond went missing, nothing was left behind in his office, no struggle, no blood, did he really leave the dimension on his own accord? I wouldn't be surprised though, that guy always sucked! I'll continue searching, can't say I'll find anything
Day 9:
Thanks to Crystal and her power, we were able to find a lead, heh, I don't regret bringing her for a second. apparently though, Crystal's power hurts her brain, so I advised her not to use it often...and like usual she got mad at me, I'm not surprised, she doesn't often listen to me anyways it doesn't matter.
Day 10:
I got shot in the eye...again, just like when I was younger, it burned just as much, and I lost communication to Sam's AI, it feels...lonely somehow, Nicholai is helping with it's healing, but it's still painful regardless.
"That's it? No way that's it!" Lee put the book on the counter next to him "Why did they made it sound so important, it's just about the detective version of me, it wouldn't effect now...maybe that fake New Min as a newer version of this, and got worried, ehh, I better get to sleep, my mind is wondering" and so Lee laid down on the bed and drifted off to sleep, questioning what he read and questioning events that happened today

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Numbers Continually Going Upward
The world has very politely ended in the most webfiction way possible. Everyone is now leveling up in various things. Problems are arising. Some or all of those problems may be based around how to have a community barbeque when the nearest cow has been teleported to a few thousand miles away, along with the nearest supermarket. Join our protagoinst as he attempts to be a cool person, while everything falls apart. _____It turns out that any attempt to write a parody of the litrpg genre through overuse of the concept of leveling up inevitably fails when it turns out that *that is what the genre is based on*. Still, this was a fun little candy project of mine, and I might write more of it.
