《The Graveyard of the Dungeon God》Chapter 1 - Awakening as a god
Advertisement
"Can´t believe they turned against me...."
"I helped them so many years and they just betrayed me out of greed...."
He sighted and tried to feel his surroundings. All there was is darkness. He couldn´t move nor see anything. looks like i have to start at the beginning this thought made him a bit mournful, because he had to think about all his lost companions. The bosses he painstakingly trained and developed. A feeling of beeing alone overcomes him. Betrayed by his country, all his friends are dead, his dungeon looted.
He forcefully forced himself to concentrate on the important things and forget the painfull things. What happened is history now he can´t do anything to chance the things that already happened. The only thing he can do is to make sure they can never ever happen again.
So he tried to feel the Mana, which surrounds him. At first he didn´t feel any at all, but that didn´t cause him to panic as he already knew, that it will take sometime before he can even feel Mana, because he already went trought this process once.
Suddenly after sometime he started to feel something like air that slowly went past him. He knew that air was not really air, it was the World Mana. Every thing has Mana, even the dead and even things like stones have it. The World Manas purpose is to let everything grow. Mana is the reason plants grow, is the reason why ores come to existing.
So everytime one of this Mana flows went past him, he started to absorb them. Normaly a dungeon core just absorbs Mana and thats it until it awakens, but for him it was something else as he knew the World Mana was not pure. So he started to circulate the absorbed Mana around in his Mana Channels to purify it.

One circulation, two...... until the Mana was as pure as possible. Every tiny Mana Flow needed to be around 256 times to be circulated until it was so pure. Slowly time went by. Normaly a dungeon core needs around 2 years for this process but for this soon to be god this process took 200 years. It not only took so long because of the purification of the Mana but because a dungeon god starts with around a hundred times more Mana than a dungeon core. For the dungeon it feels like only one day, because there is now sun and moon or even seasons. All there is for the dungeon until it fully awakens his senses is this all consuming darkness and the World Mana.
World Mana can be subdivided into seven groups of Mana. There is Fire Mana, Water/Ice Mana, Earth Mana, Air Mana, Lightning Mana, Life Mana and as well as Death Mana. Death Mana is normally called Miasma.
Suddenly a blue screen appeared in the darkness.
Congratulation! Marluxia absorbed enough Mana to awaken. Please choose a starting locationSunlight ForestThe nearest town is around ten days away. Surrounding seems to have a lot of Life and Earth Mana. Great environment to cultivate medical herbs and monster from the type plants. Danger of detected by magicans average. Great location to start for beginnersMeng Town GraveyardDungeon entrance will be located in a graveyard. Surrounding seems to have a lot of Death Mana. Great environment to cultivate poisonous herbs and undead monsters. Danger of detection by magicians high. Danger of being destroyed really high as humans are afraid of the death. Choose with caughtion!Li Town GraveyardLi Town is situated on Lonly Peak. Surrounding seems to have a lot of Water/Ice Mana as well as Death Mana. Great environment for ice and water monsters as there is all year long snow on Lonely Peak, because the dungeon is situated in a graveyard it is also a great environment to cultivate poisonous herbs and undead monsters. Danger of detection by magicians high. Danger of being destroyed average

Marluxia…..
….is that my name?.......seems like it is….
Marluxia was a long time in thought and tried to remember his name, as he wasn´t able to he just thought that Marluxia must be his name. As that is what the World System tells him.
All this starting locations seem to be bad in my opinion. Sunlight Forest is too far away from any town for me. It will take a long time until I am discovered, this will hinder my development. But to choose one of the other options is not really better. It looks like this Meng Town is situated in a rather bigger kingdom that’s why there is a high possibility that they will destroy me, because in their opinion I would be an undead dungeon. Li Town seems to be my best choice. As it looks like it is situated in a small kingdom that doesn´t have a lot of dungeon, else they would never let a potential undead dungeon undestroyed.
His original dungeon was also situated on a mountain peak. The environment in a dungeon is completely controlled by the dungeon core that’s why Marluxia was sure he will have no problem with the cold.
Rather unwillingly he chose his third option. He wasn´t so sure if it was the right idea to start with a graveyard as location, but somehow he had the feeling the world wants him to start as an potential undead dungeon. Why else should he have such bad options to choose from?
After he confirmed his choice everything slowly started to get white. The darkness as well as the World Mana was chased away by this white light. The next thing he remembers is sitting cross-legged in a small sealed cave. The cave was 20x20x5 large. Slowly Marluxia turned around. Let´s start working
He bites his finger and used his blood to lay a formation on the whole room. This formation would make the Mana in this room denser. This would be his future Boss Room. In the middle of the room he created a pond it was deep enough so that he could sit and cultivate in it without any problems. Around the pond he planted a few poisonous herbs.

The story will also follow the POV of Sapphire a local woman who Tom encounters early on in his travels to yield a closer insight into our local population. The story focuses mainly on the interactions between the characters with intermittent action, romance, and the technical side of trying to bring a medieval-high-fantasy people up to speed with more or less modern technology. There will be discussions of mental illness, immense loss, and joy, ranging from the truly heartbreaking to the properly heartwarming. The first chapters are on the short side but eventually escalate to the 3000-5000 word range. especially the early chapters suffer from poor grammar and I am sorry. they are slowly going to be brought up to spec.

My Hero Academia: Pathway to the Top

Finding out it was the world he was thinking of and having little to no memory about his past life, he decided to become the strongest. Just like to point out that I don't own My Hero Academia, it belongs to someone else and all that jazz. Please don't sue me, cheers. Neither do I own the cover photo, if the owner wants it removed, message me. Heavily inspired by another fiction on the site called Ascending Hero by WinterFrost.

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.
