《The Calamity of a Dungeon Crawl》The Creator
Advertisement
“Please don’t be scared, I assume you know who I am Miko and past Ancient Floor Monster Siren Umi” The skull man walked closer to us, Vnaa wasn’t letting down her guard, Miko and Umi looked on in shock, do they know this person?
“Udon, I’m known as ‘The Creator’ please don’t be alarmed” The Creator? What was that again?
“What do you want” I asked roughly, I was already in so much pain, if he wanted to fight me there was no way I would win
“I’m the one that summoned you, yes” I knew it! This piece of shit is why I’ve been in nothing but pain majority of my time in this weird world
“Why did you bring me here! Answer me!” I spat out blood, I’m surprised I had any left
“I need to speak to Udon alone, would you mind going back to the front of the cave young ladies” The Creator asked my companions to leave me, damn it! They’ll leave me no doubt I can’t even stand by myself.
“I’m not leaving Master Udon!”
“Huh?”
“Big sister Miko is right, Im not leaving Papa Udon”
“You’ll need to fight us to get Sir Udon” What are they saying? We’ll all die if we fight this thing
“Hmm, interesting, Udon has found himself some companions that truly care for him, you struggled with that on earth did you not”
“What!” The hell did he know about earth?
“Tell me Miko, do you know why Udon is the way he is?” Miko glared at The Creator, she wasn’t going to answer him, I could feel her hand tighten into a fist though.
“I see, I’ll show you that you can trust me”
“Hear my words my heavenly dungeon, I demand to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with my heavenly dungeons flowing energy, obey my plea ‘The Power of the Dungeon’ All Dungeon Heal”
A dim light surrounded me and the girls, I could feel my strength return to me, my MP had been fully restored too along with my first bite burns and Ice Dagger wound, did the girls get the same. I looked at the others, Umi’s fingers had been healed as well, I looked at Vnaa and checked her stats.

Vnaa’s stats are incredible! Her defence is out of this world!
“What is it that you want from me” I was completely healed, I moved away from Miko and Umi and headed towards this ‘Creator.’
“I mean you no harm, I would like to speak to you alone Udon”
“We said no!” Umi shouted out, she had grabbed her Sea Trident back from Vnaa and was on guard
“Stop, I can handle this alone, go back to the front, no need for you three to get hurt”
“But Master Udon”
“Papa Udon?”
“I’ll be fine, now leave” The three girls hesitantly went back to where the Ice Chimera was.
“You don’t know who I am do you?” The Creator walked up to me, we were now face to face, he looked even more sinister then he did before, could this really be The Creator that every one worshipped
“Why would I know who you are, I’ve only been in this Dungeon for 19 days”
“Hmm, allow me to explain then, I am indeed The Creator that created this Dungeon, I gained the idea from your ‘coding’ I believe is what you called it”
“Coding? As in computer coding?” The hell does that have to do with anything
“Before I created this dungeon you see, I was given the task to find a solution to healing the earth without terminating the Human Race, I was struggling to find a solution until this ‘coding’ was shown to me, I created this Dungeon to see how humans would survive in a fantasy styled world, it was the only way the earth could be healed, putting the entire human race in a sleep like state” It can’t be…
“Ever since I brought the Human species into this Dungeon of mine a new type of sinister species has turned up, I believe these 8 creatures originated from the 8 evil thoughts of the human species, they are known as The Evil 8, after The Evil 8 descended on my dungeon I decided to abandon my task to help the humans heal the earth and split off into my own network, it is based on a space rock you call the ‘moon’ I connected to the network on this moon and tried to eradicate the human species from my dungeon but, I have had no luck” This ‘Creator’ is that AI from back on earth

“You seem lost Udon, is everything ok?”
“How can you even ask that! From the sounds of it I’ve been Isekai’d by a damn AI!”
“Is that all? I had the impression you hated the human race as much as I did, your coding was very sinister towards the human species, did you not make them as the slaves in your coding along with other horrible fates” He knew they were slaves in my fantasy world coding? Is this how he created this dungeon? He copied majority of my coding! He was telling the truth! I knew it, I’m in a damn Otaku styled hell! That I helped create!
“Let me finish explaining why I summoned you here, The Evil 8, I can longer track them, I had worked with the Zeus Faction to eradicate the Wrath evil 8 but I believe the others have the ability to transform into other species. Your soul has been in ‘storage’ for the last 300 years, that is how long the humans have been roaming my dungeon, I didn’t know I had left a human soul in storage though, you were awoken up by the dungeon itself, it must have deemed you necessary to save it from the destruction The Evil 8 is causing.”
“Why should I have to kill these Evil 8? I don’t owe you or anyone anything” Did he not see me almost die by that Tusked Yeti Monster, if The Evil 8 are truly that strong to cause such havoc in the dungeon what could I possibly do to stop them
“If you can defeat all of The Evil 8, I’ll make sure your greatest wish is granted, I assume you do not wish to go back to your original earth?”
“I could go back to earth?”
“Yes, I can put your mind into an artificial body of your design”
“I could have my revenge, I can make everyone pay!” I let out a sinister laugh, the thought of exacting my revenge did bring a smile to my face, even if it was a wicked one.
“I want to be sent back to earth”
“Huh? Really? After all that suffering you want to go back?”
“I have my reasons, you just said you’ll make sure my greatest wish is granted, did you not”
“You are correct, I did, so be it. Once you have defeated The Evil 8, I will send you back to earth” Yes! Just you wait you horse bitch, mother, father, Mr Saku. The Karma coming your way will be grand!
“Udon? That sinister, broken look on your face, you will attract the voice of Wrath if you are not careful” I will make sure you pay! Make sure everyone pays!
“Udon!”
“Huh? What”
“Are you listening to me” Listening to him?
“Yeah, yeah, defeat The Evil 8, return to earth. Why isn’t it that you cant defeat them?”
“If you are to be successful in your mission to eradicate The Evil 8, you’ll need this, it's called the Ghost Seed, the original Hero Weapon. The Ghost Seed was used to create the Dungeon, it created all living things and all other Hero Weapons. The Hero who wields the Ghost Seed can upgrade its skills to create numerous weapons, monsters, animals, buildings, what ever you can think of. It can also be used to create healing potions, it works better with the duplicate skill but it is not necessary, based on how to change the stats of the seed, that will result in what grows out of the seed.”
The Creator pulled out a small brown seed and floated it towards me, I grabbed it and examined the seed, it had the Leviathan logo carved into the middle of it…A bit lazy, you could have at least put your own logo on it, the Sword Hero Weapon also had the exact same logo on it, I just couldn’t see it properly.
“Skill forcibly unlocked-Duplicate (R)”
“This will help me defeat The Evil 8? This little thing?” It wasn’t anything special, just a seed really
“It will, as long as you master it” The Creator told me, he pointed down to me and a dim light surrounded me.
Hero Weapon Acquired-Ghost Seed:Stats improved
“Hero Blacksmith skill conditions met [Unlocked}”
Whoa, my attributes increased by +50, that must be the skill Miko was talking about when we looked at the Hero Keychains
“Wait? You avoided my question, why can’t you defeat The Evil 8?” Before I could ask anything else, the bright flash of light reappeared and when it had disappeared so had The Creator.

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

Zeroth Knight
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Just when she was about to confess to the man of her dreams, Eve is taken by a light to another world. Swallowing her up, against her will, eroding her, it demands a life so contrary to her previous one. In a new world with the title of “Zeroth” forced upon her, she must rely on her newfound “friends” to stay sane and navigate her responsibilities. But bit by bit, the world loses sight of the girl inside; seeing only “Zero,” the person she did not desire to be, but the hero that the world needed. Will Eve let the title she bears consume her, or will she become the hero in both body and mind? This is the tale of her struggles, and a star-crossed love destined by Fate to never converge. This is the tale of Zero. This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast. This story partially falls under, "harem" with the main character being female and gaining the affection of other females, against (at first) the main character's (Eve) will. This first arc will be more focused on the mentality and emotions of the cast with battles spaced intermittently. The second arc will involve a lot more fighting. Arc two will be out in a reasonable timeframe. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27010/escape-the-knight I am will continue updating older chapters to make them flow better, and to just be more structurally sound. Follow me at: https://twitter.com/ozefen0 Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR

UPDATE 17 Jan 21: I am working on writing more of the book and intend to post more as often as I can. I will try and post new chapters weekly. I am writing in my spare time with a full time job, and four kids. Fortunately, I have a wonderful wife who helps me a lot or I would never get anything written.
