In a forest covered by dark clouds.
"You guys are getting weaker."
A young boy was running with ghostly apparitions on his back.
"Fast!! or you will lose me."
The apparitions were not your average undeads, they were wraiths belonging to specter species of undeads.
Wraith were the spirits of the people who died with a lot of anger at something or someone. After reviving as wraiths, these undeads don't have a physical form, so physical attacks are totally useless on them.
As the wraith were chasing the young boy, he was smirking while jumping from tree to tree like a monkey.
"hihih!! come on you floating assbags!"
The boy was jumping all over the forest while going to the places where undeads and specters were present.
All this running has chasing had created a mob of 50 undeads which were all after the young boy. The scene of so many undeads can make a person shiver, the shrill cries of the specters were more horrifying. But the boy was still running and jumping.
Suddenly, the bly stopped in a open part of forest, but as for the undeads, they increased their speed to kill him.
Without wasting any time, the boy took out a small katana from his back, which started to burn with red splendor.
"At least you guys are slow!! Now get more slow..HAI!!"
The boy started to run towards the hordes of undeads, as strange symbols start shining on his body, it started from his back, then all over his body.
As the symbols spread over the boys body, his muscels started to bulged, speed multiplied from when he was running away from the undeads...
Then with the sword in his hand, the boy lurched toward the undeads.
Generally the scene would have been , the boy easily killing the undeads ...but.
*Thuck* *boom*
The boy was struck by the bear type undead, throwing his off on a tree breaking it.
'Me and my big mouth.'
The boy got up without any hitch, only to find himself surrounded by multiple undeads who were close to striking him.

He parried the blow of the closest undeads and dodging the curses thrown at him by the specters, he struck the bear type undead in his neck.
The blow didn't even made the bear flinch, it easily struck it's paw where the boy was.
The boy got stuck again.
But this time he parried the blow with the sheath of the katana, then using his whole force, he cut the ripped the katana through the body of bear , from neck to stomach.
"Die you fatty!!"
As he was rejoicing in his victory over on of the 50 undeads, one of the zombified undead threw acid from his mouth towards the young boy.
"Shit!!" Barely dodging this time... the boy got on his gaurd again and controlled his senses.
As he was breathing slowly, the area aworund him was starting to get cold.
"Now try to throw your stuff at me!!"
The temperature in the surrounding dropped so much, that ice was starting to grow on the dead trees and the land.
Even though the specters were not affected in the least, but the undead with solid body started to slow down. Even squeking sound was coming when they were moving.
The boy jumped in between the horde and started to slice things apart, he parried most of the strikes... but he was still hit by the curses at times.
As the battle raged on, fire was starting to be born on the boys back and the temperature in the surrounding was dropping too.
The more he cut, the wierder the smile on his face got. the sword in his hand acted like blackhole, drinking all the blood from it's foes.
The boy was not getting tired, instead the more he fought. more powerful he got.
"You and your pitiful curses!!"
The face color of the boy was pale, resulted by the constant curses he was inflicted with.
He hold his hand towards the sky... on which a strange symbol was pulsating.
"HOLY SMITE!!" From his hand a bright light came burning away half of the specters. and the ones that survived were in their corporeal form.
Even the blazing fire on the boys katana had started to burn with golden hue... having a holy power.
As most of the undeads were in daze becauseof the spell.

The boy didn't wasted any time, he jumped towards a group of undeads, while whirling his sword.
The undeads were already slowed down because of the cold... but as the holy fire struck them, their ones turned into dust, killing them in the instant.
As of now, more htan half of the undeads have been defeated by the boy... And the ones that were left were burning in holy fire.
As the boy killed the last undead. The strange symblos shining on the boys body dimmed and the mad look in his eyes disappeared.
The boy put the katana on his back while collecting spoils of war.
"Kyu!!?"
"Yeah!! yeah!! I can control it now... don't worry"
As the small little fox came to him, the boy took him in his shirt... and ran away from the cemetry he has created.
*************************************************************
It has been 1yr, from the day the queen raided the Muno Estate.
The city Memon was turned upside down in just one day. The people couldn't believe that their beloved ruler has sold away his kingdom(Official statement).
The affair was managed by a confidant of Duke Rosewald.... who took over the city in one month stabilizing it.
As for the Baron. No one knew what happened to him. The Empire's spy(Yeah!! I am going the Star wars route) was handed to the intelligence department to interrogate.
Today was a grand occasion in the Tharius Alliance.
In this day, the coronation ceremony of the new king will be held. Everyone was in high spirits because of the occasion. Every alliance member came to the royal palace with grand gifts.
Some even brought their young daughters of the family as the prince was said to be single and a king having more than 1 wife was not unheard of too.
The palace was decorated for the grand occasion.
In the throne hall, the a red carpet was spread toward the throne with soldiers in golden armour holding spears with imposing aura. And the church priest was standing beside the throne with a kind smile on his face and on the throne was the biggest attraction The Crown of the king.
There were people standing in the side of the hall waiting for the arrival of the new king. While looking towards the 2 beauties standing beside an old man.
While one of the woman gave off a gentle and motherly aura, the other one gave a kind of oppressive feeling.
In front of these 2 was standing the present king of Tharius alliance Henrich Ageras Lionel. He had a big smile on his face.
"It is sad that we lost Leo.... but we can't live in the past!! we need to move forward, remove that expression from your face.... atleast for today."
The King said to one of his wife.
"hmph!!" Ignoring the king the woman keep watching her small daughter who had lost her smile with her daughter in law.
She is not the only one who has changed after the disapperance of Leowald.
Lisa, Leowalds little blood sister has changed too. She like her brother takes intrest in the politics and economy in country, being a nine year old she didn't had a smile on her face, that's what worried her mother the most.
And as for Maisei!! She has become a good friend of Lisa... Giving Lisa the support she searches for.
Today is the last day Maisie will be known as a noble lady. She is going to start her own mercenary company and join adventurer guild.
The queen Angelica being a former adventurer pulled some strings, to find good recruits for Maisie's party.
As everyone was thinking about the change in life they were going to have from today.
"Lord Valcus Ageras Lionel, The Crown Prince of The Great THarius Alliance has arrived in the coronation."
A Loud shout sounded out from the gate of the throne hall.
A man slowly entered with people holding his clothes, he had black hair with specs around his eyes.
He was filled with heroic aura, there were a lot of women who were sighing seeing the stature of the man.
He was the crown prince and the new king of the Alliance.
****************************************************************************
"Geezer!! I am back"
"Leowald.... would you like to get out of this place?"
Leo's eyes went wide hearing this question of Daikran. He only went for his daily hunt but when he came back, the old man asked him this.
Breathing heavily Leo replied.
"Ye...YES!!"
THe old man only smirked.

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.)

Just a Game
“A great corruption is spreading. The people cry out for a savior. For a hero. For YOU! Come join the fight, as the chosen of World Tree! Receive the blessings of the gods, battle fierce monsters, and become the hero you were meant to be, in Arcanum Online!” It was the cheesiest commercial Ethan had ever heard, but the gameplay was enough to draw him - and thousands of others - to the fantasy world of Lazuros. It’s the sort of place that can really draw you in - a huge open world, a deep character customization system, and a feature that makes time pass slower inside the game, extending your limited playtime! It was a little strange, though. As if it was a bit too realistic for a game of swords and sorcery. The NPC’s seemed almost alive, most quests didn’t reset and monsters respawned slowly. Still, for all it’s quirks, it was a good game! Just a game. And nothing more. …right?
