《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Exploring the Ash Plains
Advertisement
Upon arriving, I immediately spot the Wyvern nest. There was a Wyvern sleeping in the nest. Lucky! I looked at Blackie and gave him a mental message telling him to use the skill Cry of the Nightingale as soon as I attack. Then, I jumped off Blackie's back and raised my Skinning knife. The knife plunges into the Wyvern's neck. The Wyvern woke up in pain and before it could attack, it was blasted by Blackie's wail. The Wyvern's mind could not take the sound attack and fainted, knife still protruding from its neck. I took the knife and slit its throat. The Wyvern dies. Quickly, I drained the Wyvern and stored its body in my storage ring.
Searching the nest, I found many gold and resources. But the most curious thing that I found was a corpse...it seems humanoid but was mangled beyond recognition. I searched the body for any clues and found a beaten-up container. Opening the container, I see a letter and a seal. The letter was written in Common Human Language. It read:
The Demon King will attack you soon. I will stay and get more information. L.K.
It seems that the Human Kingdom has a double agent in the Demon King army. L.K. must be the double agent's initials. The Demon King is getting ready to attack the Human Kingdom soon. I need to report this to the guild. I jumped on Blackie and we set off to the Ash Plains.
..........
Once I reached the borders that connects Ash Plains to the North Mountains, I had Blackie stop in midair so to view the ground below. As the name describes, the Ash Plains really is covered in ash and lava. After sometime, I urged Blackie to continue flying.
While continuing, I kept my eyes on the ground. Suddenly, I spotted movements. Fortunately, the sky is dark and the ground is black, whoever...whatever is moving below could not see Blackie's shadow. I pressed Blackie to move closer. The creatures look like shadowy demonic beasts. I whispered to Blackie, telling him to follow the demonic beasts. After half an hour has passed, the shadow demons arrived at a huge cave. I could not see what is exactly going on there so I decided to have a closer look. I jumped off Blackie and equipped my Ghost Mask. Transforming into a ghost, I then turned invisible and phased entered the cave. After going through a long hallway/tunnel, I come across a big clearing. E-eggs! There were countless of large black transparent eggs! Each egg had a shadow demon inside. A weird sound was also occurring from a room. Shadow demons were coming out of that room each caring an egg. That must be where the eggs are produced!

Not daring to go in by myself, I left the cave. I've decided to temporarily name this cave the "Shadow Demon Nest." I climbed on Blackie and we flew away. Flying deeper north into the Ash Plains, I scanned the ground for any clues of another location. Suddenly, I see another cave. At the entrance, I could see a deep red light coming out. I swooped down at the entrance. There were many unknown blood red crystals in the entrance and further back. I bend down and picked up a blood crystal shard. Taking it, I jump up on Blackie and flew east. I'll temporarily call that mine the "Blood Crystal Mine."
Traveling for a few miles, I caught sight of a small town...or what's left of it. The town looked to be in ruins, most likely from the ash that caused the soil to be infertile. There is also mansion. The strangest thing is that there were light in the mansion. Could there be someone living in there? Or is it ghosts? I'll temporarily name this town "Ghost Town."
After finding three locations, I decided it's time to head back. After flying back to Adventurer City, I submitted my quest completions and reported my findings.

Challenged Dungeon and the Arrival of Mana
One day, a few spirits drifting through the astral plane discover Earth and decide to create dungeons to bridge the gap between worlds, and eventually make themselves the gods of Earth. After being created, Three has the misfortune of falling through a grate in an alley in New York City and making that its entrance. Suddenly propelled to sizes much larger than an infant dungeon should be it becomes the frontrunner of all its sibling dungeons, yet faces problems initially attracting creatures. Three's problems only worsen over time as its demanding and seemingly capricious creator gradually strips away its ability to be a true dungeon while compelling it to reach a nearly impossible goal: conquer all humans. Also follow Stan, the alcholic veteran cop and his pet cat Ms. Winters as they get embroiled into the arrival of dungeons and mana. I have most of the story mapped out, but it can still use some work, my goal is to release at least a chapter a week until I am finished. I would greatly appreciate any help proofreading or editing, and advice is always appreciated. UPDATE School caught up with me back then and I lost the thread, so this is now (definitely) dropped, sorry all, maybe I'll get back to it one day.
