《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 56: Night of the Battle
Advertisement
"It must have been quite the battle. Who was combatting the enemies if you were down?"
"I'll let the reveal of their identity near the end, that way you would believe every word I say now. Anyways from what we could gather, the enemies that were the most threatening were the White Reaper and a powerful member of the Hellfire Gang. Some report seeing a large serpent-like being in the castle."
"Was it a summon?"
"There was no summoning circle or any traces of dimension magick that would suggest a summoning occurred. We can pin this on one of the Hellfire members being able to transform into a giant dullbeast or something."
"Incredible, the person who managed to defeat such a thing AND with the White Reaper. They must be even more valiant than you, Captain."
"I would be forced to agree with you all with that. I cannot say I could handle two enemies like those at the same time and still have my life."
"Well, that answers my other question."
"About if the person actually lived through the battle? Yes, they have. So that makes about three individuals who have faced the White Reaper and lived to tell the tale."
"The process of having people who are capable of handling the menace is growing. Good. We could have a full party soon."
"Not soon enough. But with this person, we might have a good chance of finally taking him down. In the battle, it looked like the individual has shown to have great power. Traces of Light magick have covered the throne room and tons of debris."
"Impressive. Not many people use Light Magick."
"Yes, anyways with whatever skill they have used to protect themselves with, they were able to repeal both enemies from the scene. We searched the castle and the capital and have found no trace of either of them. We have concluded that both have left the capital for the time to recover."

"How do you know both were hurt from it?"
"Blood was found. And lots of it to form a trail out of the castle. But no body was found, so."
"Ah, excellent work."
"Not enough to find the White Reaper, but for now, I conclude we have seen the last of him. Least for a good while."
"Yes, now he is unpredictable. He has never failed an assassination before."
"The Silverclaw tribe, have they send word about this situation?"
"No, but I expect a message from them soon enough."
"Is that all you needed to report?"
"Hmm, aside from me gaining consciousness, the queen growing tired of waiting and actively searching the castle for her family. We would then find both the king and the princess in the throne room."
"So, our mysterious savior has saved both our current and future ruler. Sounds like they have already earned themselves the Champion class."
"I believe they would if they were able to. But they have a more important role to consider, so they would have to decline."
"If you're done dancing around the subject, perhaps telling us all who this person is could forward this meeting?"
"Ah right, well the person I believe to have defeated the White Reaper is-"
"Yasuline" Her father finished his sentence, giving off a proud smile. He extends his hand onto her shoulder and lightly shakes her as she appears shocked that they said her name.
"Wait, Princess Yasuline fought off the White Reaper herself?" The nobles asked, completely in disbelief, and were staring at her now."
"Yes, we both agree that the one who fought him off was the princess herself." Caliber continued.
"But, how can that be? She doesn't even have training in combat or anything to the likes of your level."

"We believe it was another miracle that saved her from the White Reaper. But nonetheless, she still survived the wrath of him."
"That's my girl." Her father would continue and her mother goes around the table to hug her. Mixed emotion of fear and proudness. Either way, her mother was squeezing her tightly. It kinda hurt.
"So how exactly was she able to thwart the White Reaper?"
"With my trusty Runeblade Prototype!" Her father would excitedly answer. He would then reach under his cape and pulls out the runeblade that Yasuline had obtained from the Labyrinth.
"What is that?" Everyone had said. With the exception of Yasuline herself. She had a different question. Hesitant to ask,
"This is a prototype weapon from the Drago civilization. It is a sword-tyle weapon that allows the wielder to use it like a magick staff. Even have a Skill Series dedicated to it."
"That's quite the impressive weapon. Is that what she used to defeat the enemies?"
"It looks used, so I would have to say yes."
"Actually, I don't even remember knowing how to use it."
"She likely activated it during her struggle. What about the Blast of Light?"
"Yeah, I don't know how I did that either."
"She doesn't sound like she is confident about being the one who defeated the White Reaper.
"Well, neither I nor Caliber was able to combat him, the only conclusion we have is my own daughter."
They then went silent again. They were all slowly accepting the fact that the sheltered princess of the kingdom of Lumines was able to fight off the world's enemy, the White Reaper.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
