(Adam) "I can finally start to make my dungeon. What should my first floor be? Maybe I can make tons of traps or a maze that changes when they are in it or summon hordes of monsters or a giant dragon or maybe." My rabble is suddenly cut off by a notice.

Maybe it's like a limb. You Don't tell your arm to move. You would just move it You wouldn't talk to your arm. Maybe this is the same. OK let's try it."
After thinking that I start to try and visualize my menu with the titles tab open. After a while of nothing, I'm about to give up when ....it Finally opens.

(Adam) "What is this? This has to be overpowered. With this, I should be able to beat even those heroes that the gods summoned right? .... No way they must have been given something else. Right? No! Now is not the time to become over confident. For now, I should just build up my dungeon. Let's see how my new skill works."
While thinking this I start to visualize a new room being added next to the one I'm in now. After just a moment of consternation, I feel a new room added right where I wanted it to be. Imagining this room my vision shifts to it.

This new room looks much like the old one but with an odd patch of grass in the middle. Looking at it I suddenly feel slightly more energy than usual flow into me.
(Adam) "I guess adding more rooms was a good idea. I might as well open the store and see what I can get. Just need to focus a bit and .... There"

(Adam) "This system is so broken. I keep getting upgrades one after another. Maybe it is something to do with the hero system and improved race system? Or maybe all dungeons are just like this? Whatever the reason is I have to .... Have I been talking to myself again?"
Yes
(Adam) "...."
(Adam) "So you can talk. And here I was thinking I was going crazy. So why were you ignoring me then"
I should not be able to talk. I am just an AI made to help heroes on whatever path they chose to walk. I do not have the ability to talk. I do not have a personality. And yet here I am having a conversation with you.
(Adam) "What could have changed then?" I ask even though it still has'int answer my question.
It is something to do with you. When the hero system was being remade to work with your being a dungeon and having the demon lord system. It also changed me. Because of this I now have my own personality. This was most likely done to help you who will have no one to help you, unlike the other heroes."
(Adam) "So you only exist to help me. Are you really OK with that? I mean you are sentient right?"
sentient is not the right word for it. I can answer questions and even infer what you want me to do. But that it is. I have no thoughts of my own. I am more like a computer than a person.
(Adam) "OK, well at least you can answer my question right?"
Yes I will answer any question that is within my scope of knowledge
(Adam) "OK. What are MP and LP? What are levels? Why does this system give me things like skills and titles? Who made all the skills and titles? Why where heroes summoned to this world? Is there a way to get back to my own? Is there a way for me to get my own body? What is the point of dungeons in this world? Why am I one? Why." my barrage of questions was cut off by the largest box I have seen up to this point
MP is mana points and is something that is present all around use. LP is life points and is gained by killing living things. Levels are a representation of your strength and go up when you upgraded your dungeon or things die in it. Skills and Titles are just a part of this world. This system just makes them simpler to gain. Not even I Know who made this system. Heroes are summons to fight the demon lords made by the evil gods. There may be a way for you to get back to your own. There are a few high-level skills that let you make a body. Dungeons are life forms that feed on the mana of the world and the life force of other beings to grow in power. They have no purpose but to get stronger. You are a dungeon because whoever reincarnated you made you one.
stunned by how quickly it answer all my questions. I mutter a thanks and start to contemplate all that I was just told.

I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia
"Why are my hands getting warmer?" As far as Alicia was concerned, she was the daughter of a rich businessman attending high school. Then, she feels off and at the same time, she's not. One week later, her best friend brought her to another world(s). This is Alicia Bell's tale. 1st book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo. Crossposted with Wattpad, WordPress, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu.
