《Dungeon of Apples? (Completed)》Chapter 9. The first Piece located.
Advertisement
We are travelling towards a town what has a dungeon in it. Innver told me that the pieces of your core usually go to other dungeons so people don't abuse them to create things. Mayu is currently giving me the details of the world.
Mayu: "Quinn. There are a total of 5 continents here. The 1st is the one we are standing on, Euin, Euin is in the east part of the map. The second is an island in the middle of the map, Brias. The third is in the most northern part of the world, Celden. The fourth is in the west, Rhey. The fifth... Is in the south. Deani. We don't talk about Deani much... Every continent is controlled by a single kingdom that shares the same name as the continent they are on.
Euin is usually quite full of plains. It has a huge mountainrange in it's southern part though and that is where a dragon resides. The capital of the kingdom of Euin is Eiah. Eiah is one of the richest cities in the world and it's defences are high. The military power in Euin is in the 2nd place not counting Deani... There are plenty of forests in the Eastern part though.
Brias is an island continent. Well you can't call it a proper continent... It has rivers seperating it everywhere and a lot of hills making battles with horses nearly impossible. Brias is usually filled with archers or assassins. The capital of the kingdom of Brias is Byur. Byur is the 5th richest city and it is still highly defended by archers. The military power in Byur is quite weak on land but on the sea it is unbeatable.
The third... Celden. It's a frozen winterland. A frozen wasteland. The kingdom of Celden is the 3rd richest only because of the location of its capital. The capital of Celden is placed ontop of a huge deposit of different types of ores. Even some what we don't know the uses of. The barbarian footmen of Celden are quite fearsome. They are trained to survive in the coldest and harshest enviroment after all.

The fourth is Rhey. Rhey is the land of the Sun as some call it. The reason for that is because all religions in the world orginate from the capital of Rhey. The capital of Rhey is called Jerion. Rhey has plenty of lush forestry in a quite flat but still hilly area. The military power is on the 1st spot there due to it's strong Paladins. It is also the richest kingdom with it's capital. Not coutning Deani again upcourse...
The fifth... Deani... We don't talk about it. It is the land of Darkness... The land of the demons... It is rumoured that the Dungeon King resides there with the Demon Lord. I won't give you more details about it as we lack information on that continent. Nobody sent there comes back but only a select few... And those select few are shocked beyond reasoning.
The dungeons of this world are scattered everywhere. Every kingdom builds their cities around dungeons so it won't be hard to find any old ones."
Thanks for that. I didn't know anything about this world. So I am in Euin huh. What about the different races in the world?
Mayu: "Well about that... There are thousands of sentient races what are in cities. The main ones are Humans,Elves and Dwarves."
So where are we headed right now?
Mayu: "The town of Milkenn is our current destination."
Innver. How much do you know about the dungeon there?
Innver: "The dungeon there is quite weak compared to your apples. It only consists of skeletons and zombies. The apples you summon can easy devour them."
Oh good. Where are Mirikin and Akuna... I lost track of them...
I walk forward looking around and when I reach a tree I feel something jumping onto my shoulders. It is Akuna.

Akuna: "Yaay! Finally got a better view!"
Quinn: "Where is Mirikin?"
Akuna: "Right... Here!"
Akuna pulls Mirikin down from the tree and I catch her in a princess carry. She blushes immediatly when I put her down and she realizes what happened. I keep walking towards the town of Milkenn with Akuna on my shoulders, Mirikin walking a little behind me still embarrased. She has some... Similiarities... With Mayu. Do you know something about that Mayu?
Mayu: "Well... I'll tell you... Me and Mirikin are sisters. We were slaves... Born into slavery, forced to live as slaves. Then a man came along and bought us. A traveller just like me and you right now Quinn. He bought us and let us go free. We joined the guild and got our ranks up high enough in the non-explorer or fighter section that we got our own branch... I still liked to explore and fight dungeons."
Oh.. Sisters huh. So that is why you bought Akuna?
Mayu: "Yeah... She reminded me of me and Mirikin."
We continue walking for hours until we reach the town we wanted to get to. I immediatly feel something...
Innver: "You are feeling that your core piece is here. We should go. Leave the girls here... You have that feeling too Quinn right?"
Yeah... Something doesn't seem right with that dungeon. Like a stronger being is controlling it from the inside...
I turn towards the girls who were with me.
Quinn: "Girls. Go get a room in an inn. I am going into the dungeon. NO MATTER WHAT do not come after me. Something is wrong with that dungeon."
Akuna: "No! I was trained to fight in dungeons and this is my first chance!"
When I hear Akuna retaliate I look at her with the eyes of a person who just got mad. REALLY mad.
Akuna: "Ok... I will go and not follow..."
I calm down a little.
Quinn: "Mirikin. You are fine with that too right?"
Mirikin: "Yeah absoloutely. I will trust you if you feel something is wrong with that dungeon. You are one afterall."
I head towards the dungeon and the girls head towards an inn. Something is not right here. The mana flow is really wrong in that dungeon. It's all concentrated in one place and could easily feed the dungeon enough that it can make 3-4 floors with armies of mobs inside each floor. But why is it concentrated in that specific room?
Weird... Really weird... I need to find out soon before something happens. This is all too weird.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
