《THE CHRONICLES OF THE LOST HERO》The hidden dungeon village part 2
Advertisement
His body was still wounded from the battle that happen. Plus there was to many people around. Several of the people around looked very formidable. There was no way he could fight all the warriors and people around. If they decided to attack there was no way he could fight them off. Not counting there was almost no possibility for him to escape with the wounds he still had.
“Young man. Do not be afraid. We are asking for the safety of the residence. For generations we been warned to look out for outsiders. Long as you are not hostile to those here. We will not harm you. As you are looking for the dungeon we will not keep you from entering.
We do ask you to talk to the guild desk and register. It is for your safety. Along with if something happen they could identify those that pass away. While inside the dungeon if ones body is found. I am not trying to scare you off from attempting from entering. Many young ones attempt become strong enough to make profit in the dungeon. That or possible strong enough to protect themselves and explore the outside world.
Even though we may seem to stay isolated from the outside world. Many tend to take an opportunity to see the world. After the experience or knowledge of the outside world. Many return home where they come from. That is those that don’t get captured or die in the dangerous world outside.
Now that we have spoken I will allow you to carry on and will no longer bother you. There is a small inn near the dungeon entrance. Even though we do not get travelers from the outside. Even our adventures that come out of the dungeon need a place to rest and eat to recuperate. Now be on your way I recommend taking a few days to heal. I can tell you are still wounded from the battle that occured.” The elder said said to Reku in a light tone. Never changing the way he spoke or any sign of hostility.
As the elder continued to talk Rekus fast beating heart of the agitated. Worried that at any moment the group will attack at any moment. When he finished talking Reku body was at its limit after all that happen. Without doubting what the village elder said. Reku headed in the direction of the inn that was recommended.
It took him around ten minutes to see a two story building made of stones. It almost looked like they took different stones and stacked them on top of each other. Closer he got to the inn he could tell that even though every stone was of different size and shape. There was mortar in between that helped keep them in place. With every stone of different shape and size. It gave the building a very unique and exotic look. Which was not a bad thing. In truth the building was very eye catching and beauty. If one really took time to study the building.
The closer Reku study the building. He could tell the one build this building most of been a great architect. Every stone still ended up making the building completely even and same size. One must of spent considerable amount of time gathering and studying size of every stone.
Front of the stone building there was a large wooden plaque with the name dragon keep inn. With a picture on both sides of dragons shooting fire. The fire that was coming out the dragons mouth seemed to be spelling out the words Dragon keep inn. It seemed to be like magic itself that made the words come to life. A true artisan most of made the plague years ago. In the world he came from Reku never seen something made. That made it look so mystifying. With the fire looking almost real like it was moving like a real flame breath.

After being mesmerized by the magical looking plaque of the inn. Reku final walked into the inn to get a room for a few days to rest and eat. Till his body fully healed from its wounds. Once he opened the door to the inn. The sound of laughter and chattering could be heard from several people. Along with a strong eromic smell of pot of unknown meat stew. That was over the fireplace and a light fragrance of the mend that everyone seemed to be drinking.
As the door swung open and the innkeeper noticed the new customers. She sent a young girl in light blue apron on to greet them. The girl looked like she was barely reaching adulthood. That and could be possible for her not even be old enough to even drink. You could tell the girl was a beast kind as she had cat like ears and tail. All which were the color of black along with her hair. If it was any normal person the girl looked like she should be in school.
“Esteemed guest please come in and have a seat. How may we be of service to you.” The young asked while bowing to the two.
Not wanting to be so formal Reku simply asked if he could get a room for a few nights along with food and mend. Be sent to the room if one was available. Hearing the young man wanted a room to stay excited the young waitress. As it was a small hidden village. Only real people that stayed at the inn was few local adventures and guards. that went into the dungeon. Along with those that came back from there travels from the outside world.
happly agreeing to Reku and telling him. It be five coppers a night for the room. With seven coppers for room, meal and a pitcher of mend a night. Agreeing to the price while passing a silver coin over. To have a room booked for close to two weeks booked. Quickly taking the coin she ran to the innkeeper to get a key to a room for the guest.
The hotel manager hearing that the newcomer was paying for two weeks in advance. Smiled as it seemed she seen a money pot walk into the hotel. The guest on top of that handed a silver coin over. Like it was the most common thing in the world. Without even trying to haggle the price down.
The room Reku was led to seemed very common had a double size bed with a mattress made of feathers. A small bathroom with a Bathtub carved from a tree from the looks of it. Which was one of the most unusual things he ever seen in his life.
As it was a different world from the one he came from. He should known there still be many things that be different. above the tube there was a bamboo tube with a cover over it. Taking off the covor water poured into the tube to fill it up. After which he covered it back up.
That night Reku eat the hot stew that was delivered to his room. Along with a pitcher of mend and couple of slices of bread.
The stew had a strange meat that was tough and hard to chew. Yet, at the same time the taste was strangely intoxicating. Making Reku want to keep eating without even having a chance to try. The bread. The stew was already completely gone. Making Reku have to eat the stale bread without being able to dip it the soup to soften it up.

Instead Reku decided to wrap it up the bread. For the next day while he was preparing for the dungeon. Taking out some paper and pen Reku started to make list things may be needed to be done before the following day. While drinking the mend helping to relax his body.
The next thing he knew. Reku was waking up with his head on the desk in the room. Seemed he fell asleep while drinking and preparing. Knowing that the exhaustion must of took a the toe on him. From the constant fighting and being on the run. He had no time to really be able to relax and let his body mental and physical self to recuperat. For the unknown task ahead.
The following day when Reku woke up and eat a small meal. Reku headed toward the dungeon entrance. Where he was told he would meet the dungeon guild representative. So he could sign up and enter. While also finding out what would be needed. and happen in the dungeon.
The dungeon entrance was in front of the tree. It looked like it been there since the beginning of time. There was no way to tell just how tall and wide it truly was. Yet, in front of the entrance leading deep into the tree. Two large pillars stood their. Standing about teen feet tall with double doors. That looked like it was made of a strong wooden reinforced with steel to help keep it from breaking away from pressure.
Just from the sight of it. It was very intimidating to just to see. The door seemed like it was made to either protect something very important. That or keep something so dangerous inside from escaping.
Either way what every it was would keep out most people. That didn’t know better from entering the area. The door in front a guild representative in front of the door. Who was allowing a few people to enter and exit the dungeon. Walking up to the counter where the representative was at.
There was a young women behind the counter. She looked very human like besides the fact she had a tail. Behind her back that curved upward. The tail was black with a light white spot at the very tip. It looked like something you would see on any adverge cat in the world he came from. The tail was the only thing that gave her away as being a inhuman or beast kind.
She had black hair with a hint of white fangs hanging on the side of her eyes.Which helped point out the beauty in her eyes and face. Walking up to the counter to speak to the girl . The girl in front of the counter spoke to him. Her tone was light like and charming. Almost like the girl was attempting to seduce him.
“Young Master are you here to try you luck inside. This must be your first time here. As we have not seen you before. We will give you a small inditication pendant. Which states your new to the guild. You start off as a copper level. Once you complete enough quest or certain task. You may be able to upgrade to higher pendants showing you are adventure with experience.
The levels are the following: Copper, Silver, Gold, Black gold, and platinum. There's very few platnumz as they are considered at a strength of a elder dragon. They are able to fight demon lords it is believed. The dungeon depth is unknown on how many levels it has. It once was believed to have near a hundred levels. Yet, known truly know if that is true and when that rumer came about.
If any could make it to the very depth there a great reward supposedly waiting in the very depth. That rumor has always been around but none truly know. It is known that the deeper one goes better rewards and better drops the monsters have.
If you find and wish to sale any good from the dungeon. The guild will be happy to help buy or sale the objects of value for a good price for anything found. Unlike the wild the dungeon creatures formed are unnatural. they drop what call monster cores.
Most are not intelligent species. But fall into there primal state killing seen as a threat or prey. They kill adventures and even other dungeon monsters on occasions to grow stronger.
Monster cores are split into grades. While are disincrable by the level of the monsters. When a monster hits every tenth level there monster core inside its body grows in strength. Which in return makes the monster strength grow. Helping it evolve into a stronger species of its race.
For instance if a low level gobelin is able to level up its core and elvove. It would turn into a creature known as the hobgoblin. While a hobgoblin is able to turn into a shaman or a war chief of its race.
For new adventures entering the dungeon. We recommend do not rush to deeper levels. Till you get use to your strength. or confident of surviving a deeper level. Your id plaque given to you will help keep track of your level also. Helping you to understand where you stand in strength. If you wish to know more info like your stats in strength and vitality and all. You will need to pay one silver coin at the local lodestone.
Lastly we also recommend you to buy healing potions before entering in case you get hurt in the dungeon. You may heal your wounds.If you get hurt without a party member there a good chance you may be stuck or even end up dead in some cases. If you get ambushed while hurth. There is a possibility no help will arrive ontime to help you.
we also sale Magic potions and stamina potions there. Along with other items adventures may need. Like escape prisms. Which may teleport you to the entrance of the dungeons. Along with weapons and armor.
I pray that will be enough info to help you get started as you life as a adventure. The application fee will be ten coppers and your guild id tag. Will be twenty coppers for a total of thirty coppers. After handing over the money to start the life as a adventure Reku headed to the small store near the counter and dungeon to buy the potions and other supplies to start the exploration of a dungeon. After reaching the counter Reku bought several bottles of all types of potions. Even bought a couple of escape prisms just in case of major issue.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
