《The Graveyard of the Dungeon God》Chapter 10 - Even the old can cry like babys
Advertisement
* POV Leon Crane *
Crane was sitting before the campfire in his chimney. You could faintly hear the crackling of the fire, in the faint light the fire was spending Crane was reading in an old looking book. This book was the oldest book of the royal library of Tenos, it was the one of only a few books, in which the founding of the kingdom was described.
In Cranes reach, leaning against the wall, was the heirloom of the royal family. This heirloom was a Middle Rank F spear. In the whole kingdom of Tenos there are no more than three Rank F weapons. One was the royal heirloom Sin of the Past, Crane was using and the other two were the swords the two dungeons of Tenos were birth with.
Ranked Weapons were farther divided in Minor quality, Low quality, Middle quality, High quality and Peak.
The head of Sin of the Past is forged out of black iron. This special iron is twice as durable and sharp as normal iron. On the widest point this head is ten centimeters wide. The total length of the head is around forty centimeters. The base of the spear is a bit longer than a meter and an half, which makes the total length of the spear almost two meters. Black iron is three times as heavy as normal iron, so to make the weapon not too heavy to wield the creator used only normal iron for the base of the spear.
The Sin of the Past was created by the founding king of Tenos short after the kingdom was created. There is a legend that during the forging process the founding king infused some of his essence blood into the weapon, which enables only people from his bloodline to wield this weapon.
Of the other two ranked F weapons one is in the hand of the current king of Tenos, Leons younger brother. The main weapon art the royal family trains with is a spear art, but that doesn´t mean that the royal princes aren´t trained in other weapons. As Leon was better with the spear than his brother Juan it was natural that the royal heirloom would go to Leon. That doesn´t mean that Juan was really weaker than his brother, it´s just that Juan could fight better with a sword than with a spear so he wasn´t really interested in the Sin of the Past.

When than the first dungeon was found and it contained a Minor Rank F Sword the king was rather pleased, because the leader of the team, which cleaned the dungeon was his older brother Leon. Leon gifted that sword to his brother, to strengthen the power of the royal family. This sword was a claymore, which contained a tiny flame seed in the knob. If this flame seed is infused with Mana it covers the blade of the sword in fire. The name of this sword is Fire Whisp.
The other ranked F weapon is called Hope. The reason why that sword is called so is because on the day the dungeon was discovered, the queen gave birth to the crown prince. In which possession it is at the moment. Hope is a minor ranked F long sword, coated in a holy aura. This holy aura makes the sword more effective against undead.
As the item the dungeon was birth with is called the first item a group of adventurer, which killed the Boss, gained from the final loot. This item was created together with the dungeons and shows in which kind of item the dungeon will be specialized. That doesn´t mean that there will always be a sword in the final loot if the dungeon is specialized but it´s more likely to find the items in the dungeon with which it was birth. The birth item is the highest ranked item the dungeon will be able to produce in a long time.
Crane just wanted to go to bed as it was already really late and he had to teach his nephew, the second prince in the way of the spear. As the second prince had the best talent in the spear out of his brothers, the king sent him to his royal uncle to study. Leon was naturally really happy to teach his nephew, as he himself had no sons, but the family heirloom still needed a worthy successor.
Suddenly a loud noise could be heard on the whole mountain peak. In the first few moments Leon thought it would be a avalanche but then suddenly his door was pushed open hasty and a young boy no older than fourteen rushed in and screamed
Royal Uncle!!! Royal Uncle the graveyard suddenly vanished!
What are you talking kiddo?
Crane asked rather confused.
how can a graveyard suddenly vanish? Was that the loud nice I heard? No why should a graveyard suddenly vanish and even if it did how could it produce such a loud sound?

As the boy saw the confused and look in Cranes eyes, he knew that his royal uncle didn´t believe him. So he grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the place where the dungeon used to be.
Crane let the boy pull him towards the graveyard. Leon thought that boy had just a bad dream or so, but when they arrived at the place where the graveyard used to be, he couldn´t believe his own eyes. At first Leon thought that maybe the avalanche had covered the graveyard, but the graveyard was no more, there was nothing that let people think there ever was one.
There was no gravestones, no tombs, there was only one thing and that was a rather big stone staircase. When Crane saw this staircase his whole body started to shake. Slowly more and more people of the town assembled around the old man and the boy.
Where is the graveyard?
What is going on here?
A few of the assembled people exclaimed. All of them were confused. None of them had any idea where their graveyard vanished to. None of them had any idea how that could have happened.
Cranes body started to shake more violently and slowly one tear after another flows down his face. He was an old man, next year he would be sixty years old, and he started to cry louder and louder in front of so many people.
At first the assembled people looked confused at crying old man in front of them until he suddenly dropped on his knees. His face starring at the sky and he started to laugh whole heartily. His next words will forever be remembered by the persons assembled.
Heavens, ancestor is this your blessing? The heavens granted us another dungeon
Only now did the people realize that this old man was just so excited that he could do nothing else than cry, because he was so happy at the moment. The two already existing dungeons could barely provide the kingdom with the minimum needed to let the kingdom survive. Without the possibility to trade this kingdom would surly die sooner or later, but now in the times were the kingdom is just barely surviving the heavens granted them another dungeons.
All of the people started too laughed heartily and joined the man in his crying. This dungeon would ensure their survival. No what it ensured is the future of their children, the future of this kingdom. For them it really was a blessing granted by the heavens.
* POV Marluxia *
After Marluxia created the staircase leading to Li Town, he transferred the already existing graveyard, of Li Town, into his dungeon. The old graveyard was situated in the east room on the first floor. The old graveyard didn´t even fill half of that room.
Every time a dungeon creates his entrance a loud sound could be heard in the surrounding. This sound was used by the dungeons to tell the nearby living people of it existence.
The sound didn´t create a avalanche, how lucky I am. Wait a moment is this because of my newly acquired luck skill?
Marluxia thought smiling as he placed a chest at the end of the Boss Room. The chest wasn´t locked. The materials used to create this chest were stone, as he thought a wooden chest would destroy the atmosphere of the room. A wooden chest isn´t really temple like so it needed to be a stone chest. The chest was decorated with two snakes on each side. He placed the only skill book he can create until now, the skill book for the minor shadow inventory, into the chest in the Boss Room.
Now I have to wait
Marluxia thought and sat down on a chair which he created beforehand as it would be tiring to stay all day long. On the wall which this chair faced you could see the outside world. At the moment you could only see the entrance of the dungeon.
Marluxia only had to wait for around ten minutes until the first humans could be seen on the screen. He eagerly watched as one old man started to tremble out of happiness. After a while that man even dropped to his knees and asked if this was ancestors blessing.
Humans are really interesting creatures. It will be funny to watch their reactions, when they realize that I am a Skill Book Dungeon.
He said smiling as he watched around thirty people crying out of happiness.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
