《Betrayal of the Dead》1. -Death-
Advertisement
*CRASH*
Headlights.
The sound of screeching tires.
And then pain.
Unimaginable pain.
“Must have been a car…”
A quiet remark sounded in the Abyss.
-Death counter: 1-
An AI-like monotonous voice resounded.
-New passive acquired: rank 1 bludgeoning damage resistance-
“What the fuck is going on?!”
The human voiced a question which was completely ignored.
-Resurrection system activated: Deaths betrayal-
“You've got to be kidding me.”
The voice stared to get shaky
“I’m dead?”
“Wait, but this can’t be happening!”
Then the realisation finally hit, any denial in the voice completely disappeared.
“I just got accepted for my job.”
“SHIT!”
The human consciousness started to lament it’s fate.
“Why me?”
“The statistics clearly state that only about 12 out of 100000 people die form a car crash, that's less than o.o2%!”
“I guess most people tend to crash their cars rather then get hit by them so these stats don’t mean shit in my circumstances.”
“At least I'm lucky that I died instantly.”
“Judging by the sounds I heard before everything went dark I might have just broken all the bones in my body.”
If a consciousness could turn pale then the change in colour would have been like heaven and earth.
“Just thinking about the pain I would have been in sends a shiver down my…”
“Hmm down my what exactly?…”
“I clearly don’t have a body, and even if I did then my spine would be broken and I wouldn’t feel a thing.”
“I’ll just settle with shiver down my soul I guess.”
-Resurrection sequence initiating in 10… 9… 8… -
“let’s just hope I don’t come back as a bug or something.”
-3… 2… 1…-
*SILENCE*
“Wait… why isn’t anything happ-”
*BADABOOM*

-Welcome back to the world of the living… Isla McCall-
…
The sun was shining brightly, it’s heat beating down on Isla’s bare skin. He opened his eyes and asked no one in particular.
“Where the hell am I?!”
-Location unknown-
He was stunned as his question was answered.
“Who the fuck is this?!”
-Death's Betrayal personal AI-
The AI's answer was just as monotonous as the last.
-Host needs to gather information to determine world’s properties-
After getting up and looking around Isla saw what looked like an unending sea of tall grass. Something quite similar to the Mongolian Steppe.
-Body calibration complete-
Once again the AI chimed in.
-Loading host’s stats-
Isla McCall
Age: 24
Race: Human Male
Death counter: 1
Class: Na
Strength: 1
Agility: 1
Endurance: 1
Spirit: 0.1
Passives:
Offensive: Na
Defensive: rank 1 bludgeoning damage resistance
Auxiliary : Na
Isla let out a depressed sigh.
“Why do my stats look so shit this isn’t right.”
With a soft whine he started lifting up his shirt.
“I used to work out a bit so I thought that at least my strength might have been a bit high- MY ABBS!”
What greeted him was a flat stomach, his ribs were even slightly visible.
He collapsed in a heap on the ground, one of the only things that had made him feel like he had accomplished anything in his life was gone, weak sobs could be heard from the thin bundle of limbs.
Alas this didn’t last long as his episode of self-pity was abruptly interrupted by the AI.
-If Host doesn’t start moving in 20 minutes chance of death by starvation will go up by 68.73%-
*rumble*
Isla realised that he was actually really hungry. He propped himself up and looked around, then noticed a thin line of smoke in the distance.

“Smoke means fire, fire means humans, humans and fire mean smoke…”
-The host means food-
He was corrected by the AI.
“Must be the hunger, it’s making me delusional.”
Isla knew that in order to survive longer than an hour in this world he needed to get up and start walking.
Orange tall grass brushed past his legs.
As he was walking he felt a weird sense of calm as he reminisced about his past life.
Once again sighing he spoke out loud.
“I guess I don’t really miss anything from my past, well I guess I do miss my abbs…”
“Hehe”
“No-one is going to remember me. Or even care that I died. I didn’t make a life for myself, didn’t make any friends and lost contact completely with my family.”
He was getting very close to the source of the smoke, his voice only getting louder.
“I am a failure…”
Then a visible change came over him. He seemed to stand up taller, puff out his chest a bit more, lifted his chin, even his eyes had a strange sense of determination in them.
“The failure that I was dies today!”
“I shall show the universe that I am more than just some failed nobo-”
*Slash*
*Thunk*
-Death counter: 2-
The AI stated.
-You have died-
-Life length 55 minutes and 37 seconds-
“That was my head”
-New passive acquired: rank 1 slashing damage resistance-
Isla didn’t know how to respond. The universe clearly didn’t seem to agree with his previous statements.
-Beginning resurrection sequence-
The AI stated in the midst of Isla’s silence. His previous spirit was completely broken, he felt as though he had been cursed by the entire universe.
-Stats gained in world shall not be translated over into next life-
-To keep any stats permanently gain passives which give stats-
-Rank 1 slashing damage resistance added to permanent defensive passive list-
-Resurrection sequence initiating in 10… 9… 8… -
Finally Isla said something to himself.
“The way I died must have been a coincidence right? Right AI?!”
-3… 2…-
“Right AI?!”
-1…-
*SILENCE*
“AI!!”
*BADABOOM*
-Welcome back to the world of the living… Isla McCall-

Rise of a Rogue Dungeon
Following the unfortunate, or fortunate birth of a Dungeon, in the world Ilyeus where Dragons claim the skies. Titans wander the world. Drakes boast their majestic pride. Wyrms sleep beneath the earth. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beast-kin, and many other sapient races mingle amongst each other, for good or bad. Gods descend among mortals with their Divine Vessels. The Dungeon treads unrestricted by the links other Dungeons have. Down a path never walked by any other Dungeon in the world of Ilyeus. Down, A Path of Freedom! A Path of Dominance! A Path of a Savior! A Path that would make Spirits shudder in fear! But first, it must survive, expand, evolve, and create an army that would do its bidding. This is my first time writing something like this, so if you see any grammar or spelling errors, pointing them out would be appreciated. Any constructive criticism is also appreciated! My update schedule is currently as I write them. So that means every time I finish writing a chapter, I will post it after it gets edited. I also release a chapter of A Lone Automaton's Journey To Find Its Operator infrequently as a side thing.

Dimensional Originator
Adam is having a terrible time. To start the day off he died in a car accident. And that isn't even the most painful thing that happened to him. That would be merging with a strange crystal. After that he ended up stuck in an endless black void. He does eventually get rescued. But quickly realizes his soul has been put in the body of a fallen noble and his fate is to be little more than a breeding slave for the cultivation clan that purchased him. To top it all off his new body had been bedridden for weeks and he can barely get out of bed. Not everything is terrible though. The crystal he merged with is called a dimensional originator. Using life and death energy he can create miniature universes. Given enough energy and time he could even create an entire universe. For a moment Adam thought things were looking up. Too bad the author finds things going horribly wrong far more entertaining. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it as somewhere between PG-13 and R for violence, gore, and nudity.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
