《The undead who yearned for life》34-The 6th circle
Advertisement
The 6th circle is the most dangerous circle amongst the circles with mindless undeads; not because there are powerful undeads, but because the environment can kill you at any given moment.
Here the volcanoes are continually erupting, but if it was only that, then it would be easy; after some decades, the lava paths would be created and if one is careful and avoids them, then there wouldn't be very much danger to one's life.
The problem starts when you see that all volcanoes sometimes, without an established sequence or anything like that, shot lappillis as big as houses in the sky that then rain down at random places... and with all probability they will fall exactly where you are, as if they are guided by a divine hand.
And you know what? This is the minor danger that is present in this place, the real problem is that volcanoes appear and disappear at random; I mean, just before you're standing in a plain far from the volcanoes, then all of a sudden within five minutes there is a earthquake and SURPRISE, the volcano is under your feet, ready to explode.
Obviously, when the volcano explodes, lava is scattered everywhere in a range of fifty kilometers. It's really funny when it happens. Moreover, the real trial is not to simply wander in search for the exit, but to find a single ruby in the middle of this chaos that is needed to pass the last lava river that is present at the end of the circle.
Had I not found the ancestor notes, I would've went to the last lava river, only to find a poster saying that I needed a ruby in order to power up the teleportation circle that would safely send me to the other side of the river.
*Sigh*, for now let's take out the earth temple, I've already prepared the bait for the Goddess, so there shouldn't be any problem.

At a wave of my hand, the earth temple appeared, and the volcanoes near here became quiet; of course the Earth Goddess wouldn't let her own temple be destroyed by something aligned with , it wouldn't be funny even as a joke.
While entering in the zone with the statues, I sent out a wave of telepathic energy wave with the skill Telepathy, this way I'm sure the Goddess can hear me without connecting with me: "is there someone? I came to say hi".
As always, no one answered back, but I know she's here, because outside not even one volcano is erupting; I really want to see if she doesn't come out even with this: "Oh, maybe the Goddess is not in the temple, it's a shame, but she'll have to wait untill the next time we meet to play the newest type of videogame that I created, I don't have time to lose today".
Now that I know the written language, I can make the videogames that don't need people to speak in them and are still epic... obviously I upgraded the graphics (just think about Final Fantesy 8).
As I was going to turn and go down the stairs that led to the temple, a voice stopped me : -Waaaaiiiiiitttttttt, I'm here, no need to make me wait untill the next time, I want to play it now-.
The little statue behind me moved; now that I look at it, the sphere which simbolizes the world is now filled with a map. Is it possible that she crafted a map of the world and engraved it in the sphere? Lucky me, now I'll be able to know the general direction in which my sister is.
Or so it should have been, it seems that apart from the oceans, rivers and mountains, there aren't any other reference points, she just engraved how the world is, not how the various races divided it amongst them.

"Well, it's not a problem to give it to you, but can I ask you something?".
The Earth Goddess tilted her head cutely: -if I don't answer you will not give me the game?-.
Is there really someone who would not give something to a Goddess? Wait, scratch that, is there really someone who would not give something to her? Not even the Demon king (if he exists) would be evil enough to say .
"Don't worry, this game is already yours, but if you answer my question, I'll give you more games, ok?".
-UMU, the last toy I got my hands on became boring-. As she nodded, her eyes were already sparkling, fortunately I planned to give her the continuation of some of the previous games, so I don't really have a problem with my offer... and in case I hadn't prepared myself, I only need ten minutes to make the games, one second if we count that I make them in my dimension.
"Then, can you tell me how many Gods there are? I want to know especially about the God of the Underworld".
-Well, there is only ten of us, each of us gover an affinity and that affinity is also what we use as our name, though some of us prefer using nicknames; brother is funny and looks after me when big sister is not around, he even came to my house to play videogames, but he's weak, the last time he left after devouring half my house-.
So there are only ten Gods, this means that 's aspects comprehend quite a lot of bad things... and I that hoped to cheat him out of a reward. Though I just may have found one of his weaknesses; if I'm right, then I'll make him an offer that he'll not be able to refuse.
I gave the games to the loli Goddess; the moment those games left my hand, she had already disappeared, she probably went at home to immediately play with them... cute.
After leaving the temple, I recalled it in my dimension and the volcanoes restarted to erupt, but I didn't stay there more time than necessary; I have a castle to renovate and a God to take advantage of.
The renovation of the castle took me ten days even with infinite mana at my disposal, and while I was at it I also remodelled my hut, that as of late became a two stories building fully furnished; a family of six could comfortably live in there and there is still space for guests.
Later, when I'll find out what the styles of the buildings in this world are, I plan to make an inconspicuous house on the outside, but in the inside I'll use the spatial cores to make enough space to live comfortably. That way I'll be able to not attract too much attention from the locals.
In the end I modified and added many traps in the castle, then I created some new for the underground chamber; I also covered the castle with cameras and connected them all to a cinema room, told me that he putted some undeads in the castle and looked how far they managed to go. This way he can enjoy the show more.
Because of that, I also created a kind of obstacle course, just with traps; the more you last, the more difficult the traps get, until you have no other option but to die. I built it because I know that whoever is put in there deserve the treatment, so no hard feelings.
Finally, I added a videogames room as the God himself asked, if my plan goes well, I'll be able to obtain both the way to make use of neutral magic and a , it's time to make an impossible to refuse offer to the God.

8 921The 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

With a new life as a human, he embarks on the path of cultivation once more.Just one question remained: why was such an option available alongside ascension?
8 133Writing test
So... It has come to my knowledge that I need a proper synopsis to post/save this so here goes a thing: Someone dies, and what comes after seems to be like one of those myths of old where you are brought to the afterlife, except, this particular soul's afterlife doesn't seem like it will be comfortable, will it? WARNING: I am only writing this because I want to see how long I can keep writing from here and I am only posting it in RR because I like the display. I advise you do not start reading it but if you do, know that I PROMISE NOTHING. Pd: I write in the night settings so it may be needed to see.
