《Vanilla Smoke (Blue Exorcist)》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Ryuji walked up to the Reaper, mumbling to himself, steadily his voice got louder. "I'm not a coward like you. I'm gonna be a real exorcist someday, and I'll defeat Satan!" He shouted.
Shuku stared at him, eyes wide, then he went back to his usual expression quickly and smirked. Wasn't that funny? It wasn't that Shuku couldn't think he could do it, it was that he had the guts to shout it out like that. There was a second of silence as Ryuji realized what he had just proclaimed, then Polka-brow laughed. Shuku turned his head her direction, casting a deadly glaring, it wasn't funny, not even to him.
"You hear what he said, he's gonna defeat Satan, seriously." Izumo giggled.
Shuku slipped out a sharpened pencil, that girl was getting on his nerves. Tossing the pencil in the air once before catching it and throwing it dart-style at Poka-brow. It whistled through the air, an everyday object turned into a deadly yellow dart. It flashed right in front of her face, and inch from her nose at most, and she shut up, bewildered.
At that moment, Ryuji cracked, and the reaper roared in a shocked Skunk's face, realizing, he fucked up. Reacting before Shuku could, Rin jumped down into the arena, directly in front of the angered reaper. The jump was inhuman in itself, but yet, he was the son of Satan after all. Shuku darted over, into the cloud of dust, and saw Rin with a hand on the reaper as it released him. Shuku let out a quick laugh to himself.
"What do you think you're doing? Are you insane?" Rin asked a confused Ryuji,
"Listen up! I'm the one the one that going to defeat Satan, so stay outta my way!" Rin announced.

The look on Skunk's face! Shuku could help but let out a small laugh.
"What the hell? You're insane! Man you could have gotten killed, and don't copy my ambition! Shuku's bad enough!" He yelled. Shuku blinked and stopped laughing, since when was he apart of this?
"What does Shuku have of do with any of this!? And it was mine first!" Rin yelled back.
"No it wasn't! I decided I was gonna do it before you or Shuku did!" Ryuji yelled back. Shuku had no intrest in their target whatsoever, and he didn't want any part of this.
Confusion was written clearly over the Idiot's face, "Shuku? You're going after Satan too?"
"Hey! I never said I was going after Satan! Don't assume things!" Shuku huffed, slightly raising his voice.
"Then what demon are you going after?! You never said, and you made it sound like a big deal!" Ryuji shouted in Shuku's face.
"The one I'm going after is none of your concern. I'm getting the one that fucked up my face, not Satan." Shuku gave a poisonous glare, but it wasn't directed at them, rather something not there. The other two blinked.
"Yeah, you do have a scar on your face, I never noticed. You're so pale it really isn't visible." Rin pointed at the white line on Shuku's face.
"What's that supposed to mean?! It messed with my fucking eye more than my face!" Shuku retaliated. He really didn't like getting into arguments, but when it came to something he disliked or believed, he wasn't afraid to stand up for himself.
"Your eye looks fine!" Rin stated, and Shuku sighed.
"I think he means the other one you dumbass!" Skunk shouted.
"Oh, what's wrong with it?" Rin asked, his head tilted in curiosity.

With a sigh, Shuku pushed his bangs out of his other eye so it was visible. He got plenty of weird looks when he didn't cover it up. Or, more anyways.
"What the?! It's fucking lavender! How the hell did that happen?!" Rin exclaimed, making Shuku uncomfortable.
"I don't think it's normal for someone to have one green eye then a lavender one." Ryuji stated, bluntly.
Shuku averted his eyes, now uncomfortable. His eye was one of the very few sensitive topics Shuku greatly disliked talking about since he was about 10.
Though Shuku's natural eye color was a pine green, his other eye, which was not visible along with the other half of the scar, was a bright lavender, it almost seemed to glow. The scar that was usually only half visible before ran straight across his eye, and then halved his eyebrow before stopping. In the light, all he got from it was a blurry mess, and that messed him up. It was much better to keep it covered up.
"A story I'm not willing to share except that I'm getting the demon back for it. And a few other things as well." Shuku stated, then hid his eye. Walking off the two started arguing about who decided to beat Satan first now that Shuku was out of it.
Shuku eyed a hallway a floor above. Stalking was his specialty.

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.)
