《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 13 (Part 1)

The Echinosauropteryx carried Antonio across the skies until it reached a tall and gigantic nest. The creature dropped him onto the nest right next to some spotted eggs before turning around and flying back. Antonio came to and placed his hand on his head.
Where am I?
He got up slowly and looked around, noticing the pterodactyl disappeared.
Antonio looked down from the nest, but couldn’t see what was at the bottom because of the tremendous amount of fog surrounding the area. His legs shook, his body covered in sweat, and his heart ricocheted around his ribcage.
He fell back and crawled over behind an egg, unsure of what to do next in this situation. Antonio accidentally knocked over one, causing it to fall and crack open. Much to his surprise, the contents inside were tiny white crystals. He picked one up and scrutinized them.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, an enormous geyser rose from the cavern floor, which was a considerable significant distance from the nest, with a minecart floating above it. The last thing he expected to see in front of him was Tommy, Maggie, and Ruth leaping off the vehicle to the top of the cavern as the geyser went back down. Were they trying to save him? What could they be doing over there?
Antonio stepped back to make sure he didn’t fall off himself. Something vibrated against his back, and he turned to see the eggs about to hatch. Coming out of the eggs were a bunch of smaller, ferocious Echinosauropteryx’ crawling and charging toward Antonio. He ran for his life around the nest, hoping not to get caught or trip and fall.
“Hang on; I’m coming!” Tommy shouted from a distance.
Tommy rushed over to the edge and leaped over to the nest. Antonio looked over in shock as his friend missed the nest and fell. He could grab onto the rough patches around the nest and stop his descent. Tommy climbed to the top, where his friend waited to pull him up.

As soon as Tommy landed safely inside the nest, Antonio continued getting swarmed by the tinier Echinosauropteryxs, who didn’t hesitate to poke him to no end. Tommy rushed over to shoo away the small dinosaurs.
Without warning, they heard Maggie’s voice yelling for them to ‘Watch out’ as the bigger Echinosauropteryx returned, flapping its wings in anger above the nest. Tommy pushed Antonio out of the way before the Echinosauropteryx grabbed and carried him away. Antonio tried to reach for him by extending his hand, but couldn’t get to him quickly enough.
As the Echinosauropteryx lifted the Tommy over to the smaller ones with their beaks opening and closing, the big dinosaur soon got hit by rocks. Everyone turned to see Maggie on the other side of the cliff, throwing stones from her red backpack.
“Let him go you—”
“No, wait!” Ruth exclaimed, grabbing her arm. “You’re just going to make—”
The Echinosauropteryx let go of Tommy, causing him to fall off and miss the nest.
“TOMMY!” Antonio cried out.
Without hesitating, he leaped off the nest and followed Tommy, leaving Maggie and Ruth to gasp, horrified. As the two continued to fall, Antonio noticed the white crystal lifting out of his pocket and glow. Antonio quickly snatched it back and prayed with all his might that he and Tommy would make it out ok.
“Come on, Crystal, please don’t fail me now!” Without warning, a great big flash appeared before their eyes, and they disappeared without a trace.
From the cliffside, just a short distance away from the high nest, Maggie and Ruth watched in bewilderment as the whole scene unfolded right before their eyes.
Where did they go? Are they ok?
Just then, another flash showed up above them as Tommy and Antonio reemerged and landed on the ground safely.

“Whoa, how did you do that?” Maggie snapped around and asked.
“Well...” Antonio tried to get out a sentence, but the four seemed to have almost forgotten about the fact that the Echinosauropteryx was still around. A roar came from behind them.
As the four dashed in the opposite direction, trying to avoid the creature’s wrath, Antonio remembered he still had the white crystal in his hand. He tried his luck again by rubbing the shard, hoping the same tactic would work once more. Sure enough, the flash of light brightened around them as the group got whisked away just as the creature reached for them.

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks

The Rise Of Natria The Tyrant
The following is account given by a surviving battle soldier, Zinhestine Vazo.‘He was there. The cruelest of all in Europe, the spawn of devil, no, he is the devil himself, pleasuring himself from our pain; he watched us suffer and laughed with his fellow soldiers. He mocked us while we cried begging for death. No one is safe from him, not even women or children, the ice cold blue eyes show mercy to none. There is no way that he is a man, the true tyrant of Europe not even our Lord can match with him, he’s Natria the Tyrant.’ Zinhestine was later found dead in his cell. A note was recovered from his body.‘I know you guys are deporting me to Chemintz, I would rather die than go through that hell again. My death would be the final warning, please stop the war, other wise there would be no Germany in the map by tomorrow.’

A 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.
