《The Dungeon System》Chapter 4 - Return to the Dungeon

"What, What's interesting?" Inquired James to the Mage
"What's interesting is that you have nothing Interesting about you, hmm" The Mage began frowning as he said this.
"How you managed to get here with such a blank slate and gain absolutely nothing is a miracle." The Mage appeared to make up his mind and seemed about to inquire more deeply into the matter when he was interrupted by the main door slamming open.
"Mage!! We found a Dungeon!" Yelled a loud brash voice from the front room. A moment later its creator walked through the door, A large muscled man wearing plate armor with a sheathed longsword and shield on his back.
"A new dungeon hasn't been found for centuries, not since the "God's" banned magic.... odd. Perhaps it is simply an old dungeon opened to the world once more?" The Mage said distractedly.
"This dungeon is most definitely a new one, merely a single floor with little variation in denizens. We didn't go in to confirm this but the [Dungeon Summary] Spell you gave me years ago did work." Said A frankly beautiful women as she walked through the door behind the man. This woman was beautiful by the standard of humans and dressed in sleek leather outfitted to her curves, on her back lay crossed swords and a crossbow and quiver sat on her hip.
“Dungeon? You have found a new Dungeon nearby?” As James spoke the woman glared at him and questioned the Mage.
“Who is this man? Why is he here? Is he a spy for the Nobles?” Her Rapid-Fire questions caught the Mage off-guard.
“A, introductions are in order, This is James Faraday who is a traveling adventurer from other lands. James these are Caden’s parents Dan Lionsheart and Melody Lionsheart. They are the towns resident adventurers and protect the city from threats that the Magistrates men are too cowardly to handle.”

“I see then, well I must be on my way. I was told to search out the towns market and others for possible trade opportunities before I left to travel back to my land. So I must beg my leave and leave you to your work.”
With that James left the Adventurers Quadrant and made his way back along the path to his dungeon. When he was out of site of the town he abandoned his guise of James Faraday and reverted back to its blank state.
It walked along the road towards its dungeon, only encountering a pack of wolves which it swiftly disposed off and absorbed for future use. After that it was a simple trek through the fields until it finally reached its dungeon. Stepping inside the entrance it sighed, seeing two Kobolds cut down just inside the entrance, one having been neatly dismembered and the other having a bolt through its chest. Absorbing the corpses it abandoned its Avatar, letting it fall to dust and scatter as it embodied its dungeon again.

The Dungeon felt that it had been cheated while it was reconnoitering the outside world. However it felt that it gained something despite its losses, and as such it began where it should have finished before leaving.

Armored
600 years have passed since the fall of civilization. The earth went through massive changes and core beasts now reign supreme. All that still exists of mankind are ruins and a scattering of walled cities. Festering pits of the worst humanity has to offer, protected by "knights" clad in a mech-like technology called armor. Nobles rule over everyone, little more than warlords. The middle class wants to make a buck and become nobles. And the rats want to survive. But everyone wants a piece of the ancient technology lost to mankind hundreds of years ago. Find one piece and it could change your life forever. For better or worse. This is my second attempt at a story. I haven't been writing for more than 3 or 4 months all combined. I hope to improve as I go. This is first and foremost a learning experience for me.

The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
