《Dungeon: The Demon Dragon Core》Vol. 1 pt. 4] Chapter 4: Traps, Monsters, and Oh shit
Advertisement
Alright, it’s time for me to plan this dungeon... but how do I gain dungeon points. I didn’t even know where the hell my dungeon is, nor did I know what if people even live near my dungeon, so how was I, a simple núcleo de la mazmorra, supposed to acquire more?
Fortunately, a curious visitor decided to come down near the entrance of my dungeon.
A fire snake.
“My beautiful dahlia, is that snake on fire?” I turned to the beautiful girl next to me.
Eve happily answered her master...
From far away as possible.
“Flame snakes, also known as fire snakes, were a type of magical snake with three sub-species that are tied to the element of fire and related to the great serpent Apep. These sub-species are referred to as minor, lesser, and greater species.” She answered me in a textbook manner.
She is so shy.
Since this place is part of me, I can see everywhere and anything in my dungeon. Adorned in a mix of red and orange scales, with black ones running down their back in an intricate repeating pattern resembling a really fancy crocodile leather bag.
It seems these Serpientes de Fuego also brought friends with them.
Think snakes with dark green scales, yellow eyes, and pit viper heads.
Nope, it was much worse. It’s a giant Bothrops insularis, commonly known as the golden lancehead-like beast, with six horns growing out of its head and what appears to be hair reaching down to its mid-jaw-line. The thing has very long fangs and a very largemouth. Like all snakes, it flicks its tongue. It’s a very long tongue with hundreds of spike-like protrusions and a giant spike at the tip. It has an incredibly long and thick body covered in scales.
My mamá in heaven make you never see these things because I cannot bear your screaming.

The serpientes are about 4 feet in length while the other, a Komodo Fire Darke, is nearly 6ft long.
"ay Dios mío" I exlamined "
“Don’t worry, master.” Lilith, the techno genius that I adore, calmed my nerves. “Just place some traps, and they will die... For these are only minor species and are quite feeble-minded.”
Before I could answer all that, I got a new window that popped up.
The window then returned to its previous appearance but with a new option.
Dungeon Options [Select Primary Species]
“Hey, girls, come over and see this window!”
Select Primary Species Your Primary Species will be the first monster you summon and will have a future discount when summoning more of them. These creatures are based off. What your soul is and the type of dungeon core you are. Race Potential Monthly Mana Cost Robotic Demon Golem Medium 1 Fire Wurm Medium 1 Cybernetic Ghoul Low .5 Komodo Dragon High 2 Robotic Imp High 5 Undead Exo-Skeleton Low .5 Lizardfolk High 3
Now, you might think that an intelligent person would pick the Robotic Imp. The most expensive in terms of daily cost, but it also had the highest potential out of all of them. Sounds worth it, right?
Or, you might think that I should have gone for the Undead races. While it did have the lowest potential, it also had the lowest mana cost, which meant I could summon more of those than the others and get a discount so that they were even cheaper. Oh, the discount logic also applies to the golem or wurm.
Or, you might think I should have gone for the Lizardfolk. Lizardfolks are covered in scales and vary in colour from dark green through to shades of brown and grey. Taller than humans and powerfully built, and have opposable thumbs. Plus, they are pretty cute when they evolve, and they would make them great for labour, right?

I suppose you might be wrong if you thought I would get any of those.
I got them all!
Primary Species Selected You have chosen Everything as your dungeon’s Primary Species. What a fun choice! I knew you made a fun choice. Extra Reward: +50 to Mana Genertaion & +25 Mana Pool
“I picked them all! I don’t have to follow the damn rules! I FOLLAR HACERLOS. HAHHHAHAAAAAAAA!!!"
I summoned the four of each to my dungeon.
The Robotic Demons Golems. They are an ultra-large metal golem, towering at over 30m in height. (Maldita sea tan grande) Its arms and legs are chunky, and its round eye sockets and chest glow with red lines that permeate from its chest, like a heart.
The Komodos looks just like a komodo dragon on earth, though it is much bigger (larger than an elephant) and has eight legs and green skin, with two rows of sharp, red spikes that go down its rigid, scaly back, much like its claws.
Four little, reddish gremlin-like monsters with spade-like tails wearing an aviator’s outfit come with an ascot. Black pupils, spiked ears with sharp teeth jut out of their mouths and have this grande robotic nose.
The ghouls are four robotic-like emaciated, roughly humanoid creatures with an almost-hairless mottled; decaying hide stretched tight over its metal bones.
The undead Exo-skeleton are moving skeletal metal structures. Each is equipped with a round shield and scimitar. Though these four look very different from each other.
Next to Eve and Lilith are four feminine reptilian humanoids. They have Spiked Shields and Heavy Clubs with a long stick that looks like a javelin.
“Where are my wurms?” I asked, confused. Then I hear rumbling, and the ground is shaking like a drink on the rocks.
“What the hell!” The three of us exclaimed in shock as four large limbless terrestrial reptiles. These wurms have an endoskeleton, reptilian scales or plates, and a saurian head similar to a dragon.
So in layman terms. I have a dragon worm... four dragon’s worms.
“Is that normal?” I whipped to Lilith, who was gaping like a fish.
“NO! This is not bloody normal!” The demoness answered no roared back at me. “What are you!?”
Slain Enemy: Fire Snake 10 Mana +5 Dungeon Points
“Already?” The three of us asked again in unison as we saw our dungeon mobs fight their lives on the line.
Mamá would so not like this place.

Dragonfall
This fiction is based on a short story I wrote inspired by a prompt on r/WritingPrompts. Contrary to my plans, I haven't sketched out the story in detail or written anything ahead of time. I've discovered I don't do well at that. I'm just writing this thing and we'll see where it takes us, OK? Nothing every came easy to Ryan Shakespeare, but as an elite British Army sniper he had found a niche that suited him, right up to the point at which he found himself summoned to a world far from his own to fulfil the job of a champion. Luckily, Ryan arrived with his experimental sniper rifle, so surely killing the dragon and getting his chance to go home would be a simple job, right? But Ryan should have known better, because nothing ever comes easy. Caught up in the politics of the Draconic League, Ryan will need to keep all his wits about him and use every resource at his disposal if he's going to persuade these people to let him do his job and go home.

8 128In order to create the Ultimate MC, I became Soldier A!?
Hello, my name is Yukimura Shin. I used to be a mangaka for Shounen Jump, but I was fired all of a sudden one day. Why? According to the editor, it was because my MCs are always too “2-D.” What am I supposed to do then??? Unemployed and desperate, I was offered one last chance. A chance to observe and create the ultimate MC. “In order to create the Ultimate MC, I became Soldier A!?” *Note: This fiction is episodic and a light-read. Pure non-sense. Please do not proceed if you are one that puts an emphasis on plot, as this will be similar to Gintama (completely crazy, I would say).
8 153Tales of a Vagabond
Some people are meant to be heroes, they stand out as pillars of virtue and righteousness. Some people are meant to be villains, they stand out as vile miscreants who plot and scheme and want to burn the world. Then there is Nibingul, someone who walks between the lines. A filthy vagabond that just wants to be left alone with his pigeons, chickens, goats, and other assorted stolen livestock and his refuge under various bridges throughout Teleria.

Fourteen year old Wang Ki and his hyung, Dae Sung and Min Su are no exception to that destruction. After their village is destroyed, the three of them travel to try and find a new home, but to no avail. They learn from an early age that the world is cruel and people don't care. Along the way though, they somehow manage to befriend, if you can call it that, an assassin who teaches them how to fend for themselves. This odd group ends of causing a lot of trouble, and finding it, as their adventure unfolds to the Elven Kingdom and learn about the world along the way.
