《A Fly in Cultivation Universe》Chapter II
Advertisement
Dying was a hard thing to accept. Everyone of us, at some point of our life, are afraid to die
**
It's warm
My body feels like it was inside a cocoon. Its was the most comfortable feeling I ever experience in my whole life
'Am I saved? Maybe I was inside one of the medical pods?'
I feel my consciousness fading in and out of existence. Maybe my body was badly injured because I can't be awake for long
After numerous attempts to stay awake. One day my body finally managed to move. My sense of feel finally returned to me
'It feels like I'm in fetal position I'm not so sure'
Its seems like I am submerged in liquid. 'But why would a medical pod have liquid? It was supposed to be dry and have soft mattress. But why am I submerged'
Its warm
**
The next moment I was conscious I am feeling cramped inside this pod? Maybe I grown bigger?
Am I missing my years of living now?
Its warm
**
I can't breathe the warm liquid is gone now. It feels so tight in here. I need to get out here
I tried to open my eyes but I can't. I moved my body but I cant feel my limbs. Are they amputated?
I began to panic and moved my body. I wiggled trying to get out here and maybe once I was out my family will noticed and tell me what is happening
With me forcefully moving, the pod finally opens bit. Why would it crack not open at the top?
I continue on what I'm doing and cracked the other part. When I feel that I finally made a hole. I can get out to
I slithered because I don't have limbs that can help me move move faster

I began crying but I can't. My eyes wont open
When I got out I can finally get fresh air. I feel so tired that I fall asleep the moment I got out
**
Everything I see is darkness. I woke up just a moment ago. It feel strange waking up. My consciousness returned but it's the same. The world was still dark
My parent's was not here, even the doctors. I feel an extreme hunger that I never felt before. It was a strange feeling. I can smell the air, it was so delicious
Thank god my smell was there. Even the ground smells delicious. It feels soft
I cannot control my body anymore and succumbed to my instinct and take a bite at ground. It was heavenly flavor. It was like a 5-star delicacy
I continue to eat until my hunger was satiated. I wonder why I can eat the ground. Don't tell me the ground was edible in the first place
I feel tired again
**
I wake up and eat. That was my routine now. Even the pod was delicious
I find that strange because I'm certain that the pod was not edible because it was metal
'Or maybe reincarnated?'
With that thought I test if I'm reincarnated by testing if I have a system. I thought and said it in my mind
'System?'
'Magic Panel!!'
'Log!!'
'Information!!'
No? Maybe my system is not yet synchronized with me yet?
Well I was amazed of my adaptability. I easily accepted that I was reincarnated. Well that is my dream, to be reincarnated and become powerful. Okay, I just have an eight grade syndrome
I wonder if I can ever go back?
**
I grown bigger again I can feel it. I wonder what am I reincarnated to? It was certainly not a human. Because human have limbs.

Or maybe I'm snake. That would be cool maybe I can go to space also
But with my experience I think I'm a butterfly. If you think about it maybe I am a butterfly. I ate the pod which I'm now certain is an egg. The ground also, which can be a leaf
This would be exciting. I hope I can be a beautiful butterfly. Maybe my wing can be rainbow color. That would be enchanting
Anyway get back to work if I wanted to be a beautiful butterfly. I need to eat so I can form my pupa
This is so exciting!!
**
After eating for, I don't know how long I think I'm ready for my first molting
Molting hurts. That's what I can say. Proven and tested. Its like voluntary breaking your skin and getting out of it which is disgusting
Anyway I know the rules, for nutrition I need to eat my skin. Disgusting but needed. Now I'm a certified cannibal
After eating my skin I continued eating the leaves below my body. All I can say is this leaf was super thick
**
After many disgusting cycle of molting and eating my skin. I think I'm ready. it's already calling me
My pupa stage I am so exited!!
I began preparing. My preparation was simple. I eat until I'm full waiting for the destined time
Eating was all I did for awhile and finally I'm ready
I began to look a place for place. Where I'm going to do my pupa stage, or should I say I began 'feeling' where I'm going to do it .
I can't find the branch in this plant which is strange because caterpillars live on plants. I just found a corner which I fell safe, instead of continuously looking for a branch. I cant stop it anymore I need to start
'Goodbye outside world the next time you see me I will be the most beautiful butterfly you'll ever see'
With that I feel asleep inside the cocoon and waiting for the day I take the skies

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.)

Legacy of the Sea
Follow five mercenaries on their dangerous journey in a Fantasy Bronze Age surrounding as they answer the urgent call for aid from an old friend. Dive into the realm of Aermorik, meet heroes and traitors, join great battles and deeds of a valour and accompany our mercenaries on their mission. Will they manage to deliberate the city of Alessina and its inhabitants from the terror of a foreign invader? But where do the invaders come from and do they act on their own? What other adventures and personal stories will our ancient mercenaries have to deal with? This story -despite taking place in a pseudo historic fantasy world- is based and inspired by the real world event which is called "the bronze age collapse" where most likely a combination of famine, economical problems and invading tribes which are commonly known as the "sea-people" led to the collapse of most bronze age empires.
