《Dungeon of Apples? (Completed)》Chapter 10. Oni.
Advertisement
What is this dungeon... I entered a while ago and I am currently on floor 1. There are 4 rooms and 1 locked room. But there are NO mobs. I figured that there were little to one mob around but no mobs? Weird. Innver?
Innver: "I have no idea. Nothing pops up into my head."
Mayu? You got any ideas?
Mayu: "Nope."
Hmm... I'll open the locked door.
I make one of my apples eat the lock on the door and open it. What I see there... Is a winged creature, fully dark red.. Next to a dungeon core what has spots of black in it and is mostly dark dark green... Innver? Any idea...
Innver: "Corrupt dungeon. The winged one is a demon. Throw apples now! Before they attack us!"
I start swinging apples like a maniac. Apple after apple after apple. But I can see only the dungeon core being eaten... The demon is using a flame wall to kill all of the incomming apples. I throw a fire apple with an explosive one right behind it at the flame wall while throwing regular mob apples.
The fire apple gets through but the demon slashes at it and splits it in half but the explosive apple... It surprises him. He was putting up the flame wall and didn't notice the explosive one approaching his wing. The moment it touched the wing... *KABOOM* The demon's wing gets blown off. It doesn't seem like the demon has regenerative powers... Or it just can't spend more mana making healing spells. I also saw while the flame wall was broken at one place that he was only using half of his mana. One of his hands was in contact with the corrupt dungeon and making it even more corrupt. I throw many different kinds of apples. Mostly fire and water ones to take down the flame wall and then a few explosive ones behind them. I also throw a banana at his face and he takes the bait. His hands were busy with the 2 different things, his wings exploded, his stomach heavily damaged from the explosive apples. He bites the banana. I smirk a little before he realizes he ate a bad banana, the banana what consumes everything in a black hole. He tries to cough it up but he can't. He then focuses all his mana into the corrupt dungeon trying to power it so it would help him... But my apples left only a piece of it alive. I see my own piece behind the demon uncorrupted.

I throw explosive apples at him and explode off his left arm and damage his right one really badly to the point of seeing his black bones.
Demon: "What are you..."
Quinn: "I am Quinn. A dungeon."
Demon: "The new one huh... The one the Dungeon King did not summon huh..."
Quinn: "The dungeon king didn't summon me? What do you mean?"
Demon: "Hahah. I'll die anyways. You want to consume me right? For my power."
Quinn: "Maybe..."
Innver. Is it safe to consume both the demon and the corrupt dungeon core?
Innver: "It is if you purify their essence inside of you. At first it will be painful but after you start purifying it, it will stop hurting."
Good. I throw another explosive apple into the face of the demon. He dies instantly and has his face blown off. I start consuming all the mana around me aka from the apples and the banana.
Once I consume all of it.... I fall to the ground in pain... This pain... It cannot be explained... It is worse than having your real body cut to pieces... It is worse than dying by the worst kind of torture ever... I hold my head and roll to the sides screaming in pain. I focus mana on purifying it while screaming. After half an hour of screaming the new powers start to purify and the pain lessens by a lot. Now it's just like a small cut on your cheek. It hurts very little.
I head out from the dungeon and look behind me... Only blood is left and an empty platform for a dungeon core. I hear rumbling and then I realize... The dungeon is going to collapse. I grab my core piece and force it into my Secondary body. I don't know how I did it but Innver told me to focus my mana in the Core and push it towards my stomach. It started to grow smaller until I felt that the core entered my mana and made me stronger. Then I start running at full speed.
I run and run and look behind me. Collapsed or collapsing walls,doors and pillars. I manage to barely get out and when I look around me... There is a mass of people. A few adventurers included too. There are a few guardsmen who point their spears at me and the adventurers bring out their swords.

Guard: "Who are you! What did you do in there!"
Quinn: "My name is not important. And this dungeon is now dead."
I try to leave but they try to poke me with their spears. I use a smoke apple (Combination of water and Fire apple) and escape. The smoke apple what I didn't ever get to properly try was perfect. The moment I squeezed it smoke came out like crazy and let me escape.
I quickly run towards the inn what I saw Akuna and Mirikin head to and I run in. I ask the manager about them and tell them my name. Akuna already told them that they were waiting for me.
The manager tells me they are on the second floor, 3rd room.
I walk towards the room and when I open the door... They were coming out of the personal bath in the room. I just ignore it and head towards the middle of the room where the beds are located. It is more like a small apartement.
The girls look at me and try to cover themselves with cloths. Mirikin screams at me but I don't listen. I am still purifying the Demonic and Corrupt mana inside of me. Mirikin comes closer to slap me but Akuna stops her.
Akuna: "Look at him... Didn't you hear the rumbling outside and the screams? He must've found the source of that weird feeling... And don't you see that the tips of his emerald hair are red or black and they are turning emerald again slowly?"
Mirikin: "Now that you tell me... Yeah... I wonder what he is doing... I don't think he hears us."
I hear them but I can't spare time to answer them. I lay down in a bed what seems to be open and fall asleep purifying my mana. When I wake up in the morning my mana is purified and I feel no demonic or corrupt mana inside of me for now. It might've hid itself in the deepest corners of my mana pool. I try to get up but feel something hold onto my stomach and legs. I look under the blanket and see Akuna sleeping next to me. I smile a little and try to wake her up. I notice Mirikin is already up and is making her hair smooth with some water magic. Akuna wakes up soon too and notices she hugged me while sleeping but seems not to be too embarrased about it. I get up too and look around. I forgot that I fell asleep with my huge black sword on my back... I didn't use it in the battle because Innver told me to throw apples... Maybe the demon was skilled in fighting with swords? I have no time to think about dead demons. I look at Mirikin.
Quinn: "Where are we headed towards next?"
Mirikin: "Well... The next town would be Ironrock... But what happened yesterday?"
I explain to them what happened inside the dungeon.
Mirikin: "Oh... So the Demons have started a move? This is troublesome... A big war may break out..."
Quinn: "Why? Against the Deani?"
Mirikin: "All the countries are on the edge of war with Deani and some with eachother. If a war against Deani breaks out Euin will be at war with the Deani and then the Celden. We would be fighting a 2-way war. The others would fight against Deani too but not against Celden unless it is the Brias."
Quinn: "Oh. That might be really troublesome. Well let's head towards Ironrock. I still have to get my core back together and find a Dryads body to infuse Mayus soul into."
Mirikin: "Yeah... We have to do that. Mayu is very important to all of us."
Quinn: "Time to go."
I start heading out the door and the girls quickly pack up their things. We head out the door until guards approach me again and point at me with their spears. Then they spot Mirikin with me and put down their spears. They bow and leave us alone and then start talking about some things. I hear them saying that "Mirikin finally got herself a boyfriend huh?" and some other things.
Mirikin luckily didn't hear them so I kept walking.
The road to Ironrock is still unclear... I don't know what will happen while walking towards Ironrock...

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

So don't be surprised when you see the worst grammar of your life in them. But I must say I am terrible at grammar but amazing at coming up with a story. The minimum word count is, 1250 My schedule is really all over the place, so don't expect consistency. I will at least post 2 chapters per week. Cover art brought to you by kingdedede11
