《The ghost dungeon master》The nobleman's son
Advertisement
Tank headed down towards the graveyard area, as he walked into the graveyard, he felt that it had increased in size. He headed to the nearest mausoleum and placed the kid inside. After he closed the door of the mausoleum, he realized that he didn't have anything on him to locked the mausoleum. He looked around him, and decided to take the grave stones and blocked up the door of the mausoleum.
Not long after he was done, the other group who were carrying the stolen goods came down as well.
"Hey, Tank doesn't this area seem bigger?" one of the bandits asked him.
"Yes, I also feel that it had increase in size."Tank replied as he followed them.
"Oh by the way, boss said he will take over the guard duty and let us recover for the time being." another bandit said as he place the crate down.
"Every time we come down to this place it always feel so eerie, it's as if some thing would pop up at anytime." Another bandit chatted up with them.
"Yea, let's quickly go back to top and take a rest."
"Alright, let's leave this scary place."
~~~~~~
A few minutes before the bandits started chatting, in the dungeon master room, the ghost bought three bandages and place it into the wooden chest. After that he summoned 4 zombies and got 1 of the skeletons in training to equip the bone spear.
After doing that, he looks at chibi and said, "I'll be going into the dungeon to check up on that boy, after those guys leave the graveyard area. After I am gone, I need you to send this 4 zombies and that skeleton with the spear. Like usual here's the reward box."
"Okay, please come back safe."chibi said in a soft voice.
Seeing those bandits leaving the floor, the ghost click teleport into the graveyard zone from the dungeon menu. He appeared right in front of the dungeon core.
He flew down to the mausoleum where he saw the bandit name tank had left the kid. He peeked in through the mausoleum from the top and waited for quite awhile, before the kid seems like he was about to wake up.
"AHHHHHHH!" A loud screech came from the mausoleum.
"Hey kid, stop screaming!"
"AHHHH, Help me, Save me, Don't Leave me here!" not listening to what the ghost had said, the kid continued to shout for help as he scrambled towards the door and bang hard on it with his hands.
The ghost flew out of the mausoleum, went over to the other side of the door and peek through right in front of the kid's face and said, "I say kiddo, if you don't stop screaming, I'll eat you."

Startled by the ghost head that came through the door, he fell backwards and quickly use his hands cover his mouth while his legs shuffle himself towards the back of the mausoleum.
The ghost flew through the door and floated in front of him, "Good, you finally listen, I have some questions for you. Nod if you agree to answer them."
Hearing that the kid immediately nod his head furiously.
"Okay, first do you promise not to scream?"
The kid nodded his head.
"Who are you and why are you a hostage for the bandits? By the way, I am not related to them."
The kid begin to calm down as he move his hands away from the mouth that were preventing him from screaming.
"I am the son of Count Louis von Advenguard, I was in the merchant convoy when the bandits attack us. My escorts were quite a distance away clearing some of the monsters, the merchants gave me up as a hostage when the bandits saw my escorts rushing over. My escorts manage to kill 1 or 2 bandits before the bandits realized that they were my escorts and use me to stopped them in their tracks."
"I see, no wonder half the bandits were injured." after listening to what the kid had said, he came to a conclusion. "Hey kiddo, are you hungry?"
Before the kid could reply, a rumbling noise resounded in the mausoleum and he blushed. The ghost laugh and said, "Alright, I'll be right back."
The ghost flew out of the mausoleum and headed towards the other mausoleum where the new stolen goods were placed. As he remembered the bandit mentioning about potions and herbs. He poke his head through the crates and took 1 potion and a type of each herbs.

The ghost bought a bread and water combo and a red bean bun. He looked around and saw chibi sitting on the floor watching the screen where the 2 bandit boss were struggling against the skeleton which is using the bone spear. He flew over and stroke chibi on the head, chibi looks up at the ghost and smile. He gave the red bean bun to chibi when she looked up.
To him, it felt like chibi was his granddaughter. Chibi open the packing and cautiously bit into the bun. In less then a second, her entire face lit up and she looked over at ghost and started smiling with her mouth full.
Realizing the battle haven't really ended, the ghost bought another wooden chest and place the bread and water into the chest. Next, he transferred the new wooden chest over to the mausoleum where the kid was in.
Once he was done transferring, he teleported to the graveyard zone again. He flew straight to the mausoleum where the kid is at.
"Hey kid, have you eaten yet?" The ghost said as he was coming in through the roof.
Shocked by the sudden voice, the kid jumped up and shuffle to the corner of the mausoleum, but before the ghost came over, the kid was staring at the chest that had appeared in the middle of the mausoleum.
The ghost saw that the chest wasn't open so he flew down to it and opened for him, as he realized that the kid might be skeptical that it is a mimic.
"Hey kid, here's a bread and water for you." the ghost took out the food and pass it to him.
The kid grab the bread and water and begin gorging it down.
"Whoo-bm are wyo?" the kid tried to talk with his mouth full, but it seems like gibberish to the ghost.
"Hey kid, finish your food before talking." since the ghost couldn't understand what he was trying to say, he scolded the kid.
After a few minutes, the kid finished his food and started talking," Mr ghost, who are you? How come a chest can appear in this place when I can't get out?"
"I am the dungeon master of this dungeon, the chest can appear here because I made it appear here. Does that answer your question?"
"You mean we are in a dungeon? This is bad, dad always said dungeons are very dangerous, many adventures have died diving into dungeons. Dad always tell me to stay away from them. Does that means those bandits are your minions?" saying that the kid shifted back towards the walls.
"Yes you are inside dungeon, and no like I said before I am not related to those bandits, they are just freeloaders." the ghost answered and retorted at the same time.
"Frese-loasers?"question mark appear on top of the kid's head.
"Something like people who is staying at your house and not doing any work for anyone." the ghost tried to explain the best he can.
"Ohh, something like what my uncle is doing."
"Pftt! Okay, kid, my turn to ask some questions."
[Since this kid is a noble he should know the answers I need.]
After the ghost thought for a while, before asking,"Where are we? What is this continent? How many countries are nearby?"
"Erm, Mr ghost, we are in the Kingdom of Runeguard, I am not sure what continent this is called, but my teacher always call it the western continent." the kid begin explaining. "We should be.... somewhere.... around the border of kingdom.... and the Kingdom of Elfian. The merchant group... that I was in.... is traveling between.... these two kingdoms."
The kid became lethargic as his eyes seems to close and open, as he was trying to stay awake.
"Alright kid, go to sleep, I'll check on you in a few hours time."

8 450Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.
8 150Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.

8 128Adventure of Chance
Adventure of chance is the story of Aias Geno’s journey. Aias was brought up in an orphanage for children who were left behind in war. He and the rest in the orphanage were trained since joining to become strong capable warriors so that no other children would have to lose their families. Most who were brought up in the orphanage decided to become soldier, generals, or knights, but Aias wanted to see the world! When he turned sixteen he would go out for his own adventure. This is his story! Note: I have slight dyslexia so you may find points in chapters which make no sense. If you see these please tell me! I often miss these when reading through checking for discrepancies.
