《ES Modern Dungeon》I bent Elements to my Will!
Advertisement
I awoke to the good old landscape of void that is beads zipping around doing their own thing while I was just drifting aimlessly, after a while I noticed that I actually have a body. Seems like the System’s skill was working well. Status
Current status unavailable due to the lack of System presence in the location
Name: Josh Dungeon
Race: Mobile Sapient Dungeon
Age: N/A
Level: N/A
Active Abilities
Mana Manipulation = Level 10/100 = Ability of a dungeon to exercise their will on to the surroundings by the use of mana. (This ability is diminished by a soul split due to previous knowledge It will be easier for it to rise up to level 6)
Life Manipulation & Knowledge = Level 100/1000 = This ability is a compound of 2 previous ones [Life Manipulation & Knowledge] and [Basic body modification efficiency] The resulting ability doesn’t differ from the previous ones. The soul split was nullified by a level of passive soul shielding and strengthening.
Mana Invocation = Level 10/100 = Infuse your voice with mana to create custom spells with various effects. Duration, damage and range is based on knowledge about desired effect and Mana Manipulation Level.
Passive Abilities
Life to Mana Generation = Level MAX = Ability that allows the dungeon to recharge and expand capacity of mana by making a biodiverse ecosystem, the more rich the environment of the dungeon the higher mana capacity and recharge rate. (Currently unavailable due to not having a dungeon set up)
Basic Harvesting = Level 1/100 = Grants user innate knowledge about harvesting resources, due to lack of specialization this skill is weaker than its specialized counterpart because it grants more widespread knowledge. To advance it, the user has to learn on his own or offer system books or knowledge of other individuals about each and every resource harvest method. If the user decides to advance without offering knowledge about every single resource the skill will gain minor specialization.

Soul Shielding and Strengthening = Level 50/100 = User soul is passively strengthened and shielded from soul attacks and corrosion attacks, this skill levels up through constant use. First threshold reached, do you want to evolve the skill which will disable it until the connection with System’s dimension is secured.
Immunity to Major Aliments = Level N/A = Due to not being fully integrated, user won’t be able to get any major aliment even if it’s a good one...
Otherworldly Knowledge = Level N/A = Due to your feat and absorption of the processing unit of alien civilization, the user is able to remember anything from his previous life.
Processing Unit A#$a = Level N/A = Due to absorption of a processing unit user is able to leave micromanaging of a dungeon to it, beware the processing unit won’t change anything even in the place of danger. It will just repeat given instructions over and over again. Caution is advised.
Current Mana capacity = 1000/1000 units
Current Mana Recharge Rate = 30 units/20 minutes (1 unit/20 minutes without the enchantments and mana rich location)
Current Mana usage by dungeon dwellers = N/A
Current passive upkeep for Soul shielding 88.7 units/hour (Due to constant increase in level of the ability the upkeep is getting lower)
Estimated time to recharge full capacity from 0 is 11 hours and 30 minutes with enchantments working and without moving away from this localization (only an approximation)
Well that’s a lot. It's nice to see a longer list but I feel like this would soon get annoying with my current pace of getting abilities. Wait this void or whatever is mana rich location? And my effective recharcharge rate according to the system is about 1.3 units/hour but it doesn’t update anymore so it might be higher then it says.

Okay even though the skill says that my voice becomes filled with mana or whatever but what about my inner voice, what about my thoughts after all voice is just vibrations in the air. Frequency of those vibrations changes the tone and the force behind each vibration changes how loud we are. Theoretically it should be possible to make a string or thin blanket of mana and vibrate it to create words. Because I fucking doubt I’m able to breathe or talk here.
The system’s widget clock still worked although sometimes it slowed or went faster than normal but I attributed this to the shifting tides of mana here or different dimensions leaking their laws of time a little and affecting me when they zipped past me.
Mana manipulation in this place was both easy and hard, since the place was so full of it my attempts didn’t waste too much mana since whenever it was spent on weaving the blanket or moving it the mana around me instantly filled the location where my mana disappeared. The real pain was grabbing that foreign mana while staying focused and weaving it into my design.
After what felt like eternity I made the blanket of pure mana, my status didn’t show any changes. But I felt them, it became really easy to make any sort of construct with mana. But having already made a blanket to level my Mana invocation skill and get abilities I thought it would be a waste to just discard it and do it with Mana manipulation.
So I chanted using mana as the extent of my voice.
Slumbering peaceful yet dangerous,
Plentifull yet barren,
Gaia’s embrace is warm yet cold,
Soothing yet enraging,
The primal Fear of rumbling earth
The primal Joy of field full of crops
The primal Creation of planets
Converge into one!
Elusive yet playful,
Eroding Earth yet moving it to new places,
The Anemoi rage is unavoidable,
Yet they bless us with the miracle of life.
The primal Joy of newborns breathing
The Primal Fear of Potent tornadoes and solar storms
The primal Creation of stars
Converge into one!
Warm and hot
Kindling happily
Exploding when not careful
Neutral yet the most needed
Alone yet without it life doesn’t exist
The primal Creation of Gravitational Fusion
The Primal Creation of the Elements that allow us to live
Converge into One!
Cold and beautiful
The source of life
And the end of it
The endless cycle
The Joy of finding oasis in the wasteland
The Fear of Tsunami
The Primal Creation of carbon based life forms
Converge into One!
From Air to Fire
From Fire to Earth and Water
From Hydrogen to Oxygen
From Hydrogen to Other Elements!
Elements Heed My Call!
Converge into one!
Join the endless cycle that started at the birth of the universe!
Gravity the force of attraction caused by mass!
Space the law that allows us to exist!
Time the law that allows us to feel, to be born to die and return our elements back into the cycle!
CONVERGE INTO ONE!

Swallowed Star
Year 2056, in a city in the Yuan Jiang Su Jin area. On top of a ruined, shattered six story residential apartment sits a teenager wearing a combat vest, militaristic trousers, and alloyed battle boots. On his back is a hexagonal shield and equipped is a blood-shadow battle knife. He sits there silently on the edge of the roof. At this time, the sparkling sky was shining and there was a refreshing breath within the air that blew towards him. However, there was only silence within the ruined, deserted city, with an occasional howl that makes your heart skip a beat.

Dream Chaser
When I was born, I was discarded as worthless for I had no sense of Energy currents. When I became the sword of the realm, I was disowned. Now that I was one vote away from passing an edict of equality between Energy users and not, I had my life’s work burned in my hands. “Who are you to change this world, silly boy?” the true ruler of the empire, the head councilman, asked me. There could only be one answer. Your son. Elecar Winteridge, 7 B.S. (Before the Scourge) ________________________________ Ragnarök, judgement day or the day of reckoning. Every religion and cult has foretellings of the final day. For most people it is just an old tale, something to frighten misbehaving children or a tool for scaring the masses. But for Shea and her world this became a despairing reality. Forests turned into deserts and seas became salt lakes. Continents were smashed together, becoming one or disappearing without a trace. The whole world was covered in the ashes of fires. When Shea awoke in her shelter, not only was she injured but everyone and everything she knew was gone. All she had left were her memories and the innate talent to use the shaping ability to aid in her survival. _________________________________ Author of Flight of Icarus Member of Scribble

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
