February 8th; Rio Grande City International Airport
The morning of the next day marks a great change on Uriel’s life…..
Passengers of flight 07261998, our destination to Rio Grande City is nearby. Please fasten your seatbelts.
An airplane arrives at the “Rio Grande Airport.” After the plane lands a certain family comes out of the airplane and goes to the line to get their luggage ready.
“It's been 5 years, I´m happy to be back, now to begin a new adventure!” A young girl stretches her arms, her long straight light purple colored hair with blue eyes catches everyone’s attention.
“How long are you going to go off, Valerie?” A teenager that is about her height says as he walks past her. He has red hair and green eyes.
“Aww, Daniel, you sure are a slave driver…” Valerie says as she walks behind him.
“It’s not my fault, mama said that we would meet her at the exit.” Daniel replies as they walk down the corridor.
“Like, France sure was nice huh...being there for 3 months was a blast but now that we are here...I can’t wait to see him again…” Valerie says with excitement.
“Yeah...see....him again…” Daniel doesn’t make any expression. Valerie begins to skip feeling excitement.
Valerie is a 15 years old girl, she has a slim figure. She wears a red short skirt, with white button shirt combined with a red tie, a pair of black long tights, and red shoes with a black French hat. She has a hyperactive activity and always smiles making her the center of attention around guys.
Daniel is a 13 years old boy, with a thin body. He wears glasses, and he always has a typical teenage face, always looking bored. He has the same height as Valerie, making people sometimes think that they are twins. He is wearing a white shirt that says “#1 Gamer”, blue jeans and white shoes.

“Valerie, you are making a scene again…” Daniel feels embarrassed. Valerie turns around and makes a cute face saying; “It’s not my fault that I'm cute”
Many boys come around to talk to her making random questions for example:
“Hey are you single?”
“Are you French?”
“Can I have your number?”
Daniel crosses his arms, close his eyes and make a huge sigh as he thinks to himself:
“Here we go again, Valerie likes the attention but she likes to play with men and I am the one who needs to control her.”
Valerie then goes behind Daniel , and says while laughing: “Sorry friends but as you can see, I have company here so please leave me alone.”
The guys feel down and leave. Daniel sighs with his eyes closed; “Come on, our mother is here…”
The two of them reach the exit where a beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes waits for them.
“Valerie, Daniel, it’s so good to see you…” The woman hugs both of them;
“Mis niños, you don't know how much I miss you.”
“Calm down Mama, it has only been 5 days.” Daniel replies to his mother. Maria pulls his ears and Daniel quickly changes his attitude:
“I mean, I miss you too MAMA.”
Maria Di Fiore (age 40) is a beautiful woman with light brown skin, red hair and blue eyes. She has a well developed body with curves and a large breast. She is wearing a black dress with a coat and gloves.
Valerie laughs at him, the three of them get into a car, the driver asks:
“Where are we going Ms. Di Fiore?”
“Please, call me Maria, and please take us to the Ministry of San Juan.”
The taxi heads towards the ministry. In the back of the taxi, Maria looks at the window as she says

“After a year and a half, I will get to see him again…”
“I know right, I hope he didn’t change much...I can’t wait to see my big brother…” Valerie says with excitement, Daniel frowns:
“Sister, we don’t know if he wants to see us…”
“Oh he does, otherwise, I will punish him.” Valerie smiles, releasing a purple aura.
Maria looks at the sun as she says; “Finally, I will see you, Uriel, my son…”

Ministry of San Juan
In the Ministry of San Juan, Sister Carolina sweeps outside the building, the girls are helping out with the chores. Suddenly a taxi arrives at the Ministry:
"Oh my, who will they be?" Sister Carolina says as she tries to see who it is.
"We have arrived, Ms. Maria…" The taxi says with heart shaped eyes. Maria smiles and replies:
"Thank you...how much is the fee?"
"No,this one's on the house…" The driver says nervously.
"Are you sure? I don't think it's fair…"
"Of course it’s fair…"
"Well thank you so much…" Maria leaves the taxi, the man is drooling as he sees her. Daniel chuckles:
"That was a bad move…"

Daniel presses a button on his phone. As soon as he gets down, the car drives on its own. Valerie looks at Daniel and says:
"I know what you did and that wasn't very nice…"
"I don't know what you're talking about…"
Maria and her children walk uphill. Sister Carolina looks at her and recognizes her.
"MMMMAAARRIIIAAA" Sister Carolina lets go of the broom and runs to hug her.
"It's been a while, Sister Carolina…" Maria hugs her back.
“You don’t know how much I missed you…”
“Maria, is that you?” Father Clemente looks at her and her children.
“Indeed, it’s me, father…”
Father Clemente also cries out of joy; “Hija, you haven’t changed at all...Thank God you came…”
“It’s good to see you…”
Sister Carolina and Father Clemente look at Valerie and Daniel.
“Oh my, is that your children? I can’t believe how much they’ve grown…”
“Hello...the number one idol girl of Rio Grande City has returned…” Valerie makes an idol pose. Daniel rolls his eyes, Sister Carolina hugs both of them with tears:
“You two, I missed you as well…”
“Wow, who are they? The boy sure is cute…” Abril and Mariana see Daniel and blush.
“Cut it out, you two...that woman is Maria Di Fiore...she is a member of the order as well, the two of them are her children...Valerie and Daniel…” Fabiola explains with a cocky attitude, the girls nod with surprise.
Maria looks around and asks:
“Now then, I came here to see my son...and I would like you two to tell me how he is doing…”
Clemente and Carolina laugh nervously as they say:
“Well, it’s a long story…”

The Realm Beneath: A Dungeon Story
This is the story of a dungeon, not a reincarnated soul or a human trapped in a soul gem, but a dungeon. Born as a dungeon, it lives as a dungeon, and kills like a dungeon. Guided only by its experiences, vague ideas and knowledge from somewhere else and the mysterious system that greets it upon awakening it strives to build and live and learn. Immerse yourself in the tale as you read about the dungeon and the adventurers that challenge its depths, puzzles, traps and creatures. Read about the realm beneath as a world comes to life within a mountain in the centre of the land. Forests, swamps, deserts, tundra and more can all be found in the cavernous chambers that blossom with life. Author's note. There is an overarching plot that is more than just the dungeon getting bigger. I will be uploading at least one chapter a week until furthur updates on my schedule get posted and hopefully more once I finish off the other book i'm working on. You can expect me to try and craft unique challenges and floors, stuff you most likely haven't seen before in dungeon books whilst still having a hopefully decent plot. I can't promise much about it but I will certainly read all the comments, respond where appropriate and take on board suggestions. I promise to keep you updated and not drop away without saying anything. I would consider this to be part of the writers pledge but if circumstances force my hand I may have to drop it. (no plans) A Note on tags: Profanity: Not excessive but where i find appropriate. Gore: Well that depends how well I do my job doesn't it. If I can paint a vivid picture that has the potential to be gory, then my writing may be to an acceptable quality. Traumatising content: Again, this depends on my skill as a writer, I guess I hope you find it traumatising - no that’s not right. Well you know what I mean anyway. Hopefully I can paint a vivid picture in your mind that makes the book all the more special.

8 174Law of the Jungle
In New York City, cultivation studies are taken very seriously and cultivators are plentiful. The city is the biggest hub of chi research in the United States. It also holds the most cultivation schools of any city in the country. The same goes for its "Jungle Schools". The students of these unique cultivation schools, commonly known as "Warriors", are encouraged by the state to engage in battles with students from other Jungle Schools until only one school sits at the top. For them the laws of the state take a backseat the laws of the concrete jungle. This is the bizarre version of New York City Isaac Moon has found himself trapped in. Equipped with some strange interface he barely understands, Isaac tries to find his way back to his own reality one fight at a time. Hopefully, he can make it back before his 'old habits' get the best of him again.

In this new world Edward Linden found himself in, there are no swords and magic, nor spaceships and aliens. Just brave people venturing into the great unknown, with nothing but what they can carry on their backs protecting them from forces beyond control.

And among them, a child trying to figure out whether this world - or the 'Modern Earth' he supposedly hails from, is but a product of a damaged mind.

There is no need for erecting walls, as the biggest divide created by humanity - that of social class - takes care of a post modern segregation. The poor are literally marginalized into slum-like townships and tend to be of color. The names of these townships would be enough to tell you their story. The rich, well, remain happily oblivious in the big American cities. In this world find a mysterious girl whose identity must be hidden or she would be hunted down and a young street actor who falls for her intrigue. Discover how they survive, born into a society not prepared to give them a chance.For them, the dystopia came without an apocalypse.
