george was sitting on his couch eating a snack and thinking about the video he and clay had recorded the night before. clay telling him he could use clays real name when not recording was startling, but george was happy. he felt that meeting clay in real life made them closer, he hoped so at least. he felt his phone buz next to him and he picked it up, it was a text from clay.

george put his phone down, his cheeks were so red he could feel the heat coming off of them.
he says he hates it when clay pulls stuff like that, but in reality he absolutely loves it. he adored the fact that clay can put him in so much distress with just a few words.
george got up and put on something a little bit nicer than his pajama pants and sweatshirt. he grabbed a tight fitting band t-shirt, a pair of black skinny jeans, and his high top converse. he got dressed and fixed his hair, he didn't want to look like a mess in front of clay.
he grabbed his phone and started the walk to clays apartment. he would get there in a bit more than fifteen minutes.
clay got up, still chuckling at georges reaction to his text. he picked up his apartment so it wasn't a mess when george got there. he was planning to order some food for dinner at around six and watch a movie afterwards.

he would ask george what he wanted to do in the time being.
clay heard a soft knock at his door while he was finishing washing dishes.
"come in george!"
"hi!" george stepped in and shut the door behind him, he flopped onto the couch and looked over at clay. "whatcha doin?"
"oh im just straightening up-" clay looked over at george, he looked better than ever. his shirt hugged his thin frame, his hair fell cutely over his forehead, everything about him was simply perfect.
george noticed clay staring at him "clay? you alright?"
"oh! yeah sorry," clay laughed, he felt his face warm up a little "you look nice, did you get all dressed up for me?"
george blushed and looked down "i- shut up! i didn-" he was cut off by clay wheezing
"im kidding, you do look nice though"
"thank you," george was still slightly embarrassed
clay sat down next to george, ruffling his hair. "ok so i didnt have anything really planned, is there anything you want to do?"
"i dont know.." george frowned, thinking about what he and clay could do together " oh! we could go over to the farmers market! they have a really nice selection around this time of year"
"oh yeah, thats perfect, lets go!"
[t i m e s k i p]
the two returned home later than expected, george could tell it would be getting dark on the way home. the last thing george wanted was to be out on the street in the dark. he was still very shaken up from his encounter with the man a week or so ago.
they had eaten a nice dinner at a small cafe they came across. it was really good and george was happy to spend time with clay and just chat.

george had caught himself staring at clays face, multiple times during dinner. he would stop listening for a second and gaze at clays hair, or his gorgeous jawline, his beautiful green eyes.
"george?" clay asked, snapping him out of his trance "did you hear anything i just said?"
george blushed "um, yes obviously"
"okay, what did i just tell you then?" clay looked at george and smirked when he saw him panic a bit "so you didnt hear what i just said."
"um yeah no i didn't," george giggled
clay smiled "jeez george, were you too transfixed by my good looks to be paying attention?" he turned to the tv and pulled up hulu to find something to watch.
"I- NO I WAS JUST UM-" george said, his voice shaking. he felt blood rush to his face.
clay wheezed and slapped the couch "i was -wheeze- just kidding -wheeze-"
george laughed, how could he not? clays laugh was infectious.
"ok, ok, what should we watch?"
"its getting kind of late clay, i dont want to overstay," george was sad but he didnt want to intrude on clays space
clays face fell, noticeably so. "oh.. yeah i guess it is.." clay didnt want george to leave. he wanted him to stay forever.
"awh, clay, i can stay if you want me to," george smiled at clays reaction
"really!! yes please stay!" clays eyes lit up "we should have a sleepover!"
george giggled, he loved seeing clay being so excited. "id love to, but i dont have any pajamas"
"thats alright! you can borrow mine!" clay turned to the tv, smiling like a little kid. "so what should we watch?"

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.)
