《A Dryflame Child's Life (Rewriting)》Work and Troubles-2

''You can't,or to be more direct,i won't let you''Said Lord Arihan,which made me shocked
''Don't be suprised little Grim.Even though water is the best choice if you want to progress smoothly,it won't let you reach 2nd rank,let alone the peak.Of course,if you want to ascend then things will be more different.''He said.I know he is gonna explain it,but still why is he taking so long!I know he can read my mind,or can do something like that,so why is he this slow?
''I understand your confusion,but there are somethings you are not aware,and shouldn't be till you've grown.For your main element,we will go with Chaos.''Now,if what he said last was suprising,then this one was dumbfounding.Chaos!This is the foundation of all elements and first form of mana,which exists outside filling all lands.Before world stabilized and elements appeared,everyone used Chaos Power to gain strenght.
But it was way too hard,because it was very wild so it teared your body apart slowly and if you depleted it,it would take very long times to recover.After Elemental system came most of the people transformed their mana towards the element they were most suitable,with few exceptions like Dragons and Arachne whom were created by Chaos power itself.
But it was madness.Even though mana was way much more than the past times and he could recover his mana from sur-roun-dings...really!''Looks like you understand.Also,when you created your spirit weapon it also used the Chaos(Wild) mana from outside,which made his attirube also chaotic so it will be much more effective when you reach 7th rank.''
''And don't worry about hiding it,I'll give you some memories of mine for how to transform it to other elements,This can also help you when fighting.''Memories of him?I'm curious right now.From what i understand,he is older than even our family,maybe more older than some of the mid-gods.So they should be very valuable.
''Now,you know that every hour you spend outside is equivalent to 3 hours in here,so i will make you train in here too.It will decrease your training time while also you will learn runesmith.''Alright but-''When will i get rest then?''He just laughed and said''You won't''
...
''HELL YEAH!''Screamed 3 man at top of their longs.They were so exhausted and depleted they couldn't even feel if they were alive or dead.They could fall anytime if they were a bit off balance,but they didn't.It was definetly worth it.At their feet lay a half dead Ice Ape.They only lived at the peak of the mountains near Death Plains.Not only they were hard to find,killing was difficult too.Their body was harder than most of the metals so only mithril and above level weapons could damage them.

''Ron,Kill it already,I want to sleep.''Said one of the man and fell to the ground with a sound,lying with ragged breath.''Alright,let's finish it already''Said the other man and stabbed his lance towards the neck of Ape.Ape made a pitiful sound just before lance's tip pierced him and closed his eyes.But tip didn't pierce him.He opened his eyes and saw an elderly man with short full white hair.His eyes were little and he had a strange staff at his hand.At his back was a backpack like thing,emitting a strange smell,clearing his mind.
The other 3 were shocked,even if Ron didn't use his full power,even 2nd rank warriors wouldn't dare to stop it with their finger.This man was just holding the lance with his pinky,while ron's hand was shaking.With a sweep of his hand,he destroyed the lance of Ron and sent him flying.
''Who are you!''Said one of the two and directly leaped towards him.Elder man caught him in mid air and just slammed him to the ground.Man directly fainted,but he didn't have any injury.The other one couldn't move from the exhaustion sweeping over him,so elder man didn't touch him.But he also asked,''You old had,who are you?''
Elder turned around,patted the head of the Ice Ape.When he patted,his body slowly recovered and before 15 minutes,Ape's body was in full shape.Ape slowly stood up and looked at the Elder man with gratitude,and growled.''Oh,How kind of you.Let me accompany you for a while then.''He said and got on the shoulders of the Ape.Before they departed,he turned towards the young man and said:
''Sanzang''
...
''Alright then,you can go off now.By the way,why are you looking tired,did something happen?''Asked Big sis.Well i can't say i stayed whole night to train like a mad man so i just replied casually.''Not something big,just had to do something at night.''What i said sounds a bit suspicious but everyone should have some private space right?
''Alright then,don't tire yourself much or you won't be able to complete your quests''She said.I don't know but she really feels like a big sis.I already overheard from a conversation she was a dragon,but i don't know how old is she.She is surely not that old right?I mean most of the 1000-6000 years olf dragons are out there sleeping soundly or traveling around the continent.So it shouldn't be offensive when i call her big sis.
''Thanks for your concern Big sis,I'll take my leave.''I said and walked out of the guild.After i got out,i took the route towards the merchant district.I had to buy some things for runesmith,mainly for the part of smithing.It was not that far so i arrived in 5 minutes.I walked around a little and asked the things i wanted.I found plenty of them but every shop gave me another price and some of them were damaged goods.I don't like maths or any trading things,so i just let it be.I will look around once more when i complete the quests.

I got 2 quests this time around.One is about getting 4 wolf carcass.And the other is exploring an low leveled dungeon.I don't prefer both of them.I wanted to take one herb gathering but big sis just forced me and said like''You won't improve if you don't get any pressure''Well,i'm not fully convinced but i will still try.
After arriving the stables near city gate,i talk a bit with stablemaster then get my beloved horse from Realm gate,a average breed.Still,i have a strange bond with him so i won't change him for a while.With a shake,we got on our way.I think i will visit the same cave to find the wolfs.There were 6 of them so there shouldn't be problem with the first quest.Dungeon is a bit far away,so i will first go there and return the cave on my way back.
The wind feels refreshing and the green lands around me looks beatiful.There is not many trees,or rather to be precise,all of them are gathered at the mountain at the south west of the city,So there is mostly grass and flowers.Nevertheless it's a good scenery.Air is partly cloudy,so sun is not that disturbing.Roads are made from stone in cities,but other than that most of them are made from earth.
After 2 hours,i arrive the place.There is not that much grass,only some brown soil.Earth is shaking a little,which i don't know the reason of it.Dungeon is not underground,but it's made like a mansion.At it's front doors,there is 2 statues shape of frog.Doors have lip carvings on them.Probably an dungeon made by Charming Arachne Aragelon.I got near to the door slowly,while watching 2 statues.We had some of them in the house too so i know they can attack people.
...
''Another Human''Thought a floating head,inside a transparent cube.'Let's see your limits then'and with a thought from him,Doors of the Estate(dungeon) opened.The moment doors opened,2 frog statues eyes glowed and they leaped towards the Grim.
Grim directly took out an ordinary sword from his back,slashing it towards the 2 frogs.'What a pity,he lost at the first stage.'Thought Floating head,but he became shocked next second.Sword cut through the 2 frogs like a butter and with another slash,destroyed them completely.'What kind of a sword is that?No,if user is strong,then weapon is not that important'
Grim entered the house after 'killing' the 2 statues,and started to look around.In front of him was a stairs going up,one going down and one path directly going forward.When he was thinking,a sound reverberated ''3 paths,3 difficulty.Upper levels are the hardest,mid level is for normal.Underground is easiest.Pick your way,Young warrior''
Without thinking,grim took the stairs going up and followed it.''Good move,but you have to be capable.Let's see what you can do against a 7th level floor master''With another thought,he destroyed the stairs Grim came from.Grim was already far inside so he didn't hear it.
...
''Well then,what should i do with you three ?HUH?''Asked a big burly man.He was bald with white skin.His body had some densely packed muscles and he was 2 meters tall.''Boss forgive us,but we are sure he has tons of money!''Said laun and his 2 brothers,kneeling in fear.Their boss was clearly angry from something so he just wanted to vent it on them without hearing their reasoning.
''I Don't care about money!Only thing you have done was making me lose face you IDIOTS!''Man stomped his leg and whole house's tiles cracked.Laun and his brothers were now shaking from terror.Man turned his gaze towards the 3 shaking man and threw a kick at Laun.His head was directly sent flying while blood was flowing from his listless,headless body.
Other 2 was now terrified completely,begging while crying and screaming.The burly man got angrier and directly sent 2 punch towards their chest.Punch broke their whole bones while their innards were smashed.They died with big blood dents on their chest while vomiting blood.
''Take care of these idiots corpse''Said big man and left the house with 2 sidekicks of him.the other man just looked at the corpses and sighed,''I said you guys countless times''Then created a small flame,burning their corpses to the ash.Then with another spell,he sent them flying in the calm,partly cloudy sky.
'Now,lets see who this kid is.I have to punish him for making me lose face'Said the big man to himself,while walking towards the Adventurers Guild.

AOT: Boats
I know, the title doesnt seem to make sense. Its an acronym. For what? Hm. T means True. Up to you otherwise. Oh, right. The acronym actually does have an impact on one of the themes of the "story". At the same time I mixed it up with a reference to the original plan for this when I started, so yay. A double. Well, actually, a triple. Again, up to you. I should also mention that, as the rhyme that starts the story probably tells you, its gonna get kinda disturbing. All kinds of disturbing. Just to let you know.

Majority Rule
Readers choose from a selection of options for participants of a survival game show known as "Can Anyone Beat Level 10?". Each level has some monsters to kill and a boss at the end. Treasure chests and traps are available. Treasure chests, if opened successfully, give decent weapons, first aid kits, etc. If unsuccessful, treasure chests will either explode, taking some health from player or do become permanently closed. Monsters in dungeon levels depend on the theme of the week. This game show occurs on the first week of every month. The game just showed up out of nowhere and many people were interested in it as they attended the live version of the show. As for its mysteries...well, who knows? Maybe someone will solve them some day. But, for now, let the games begin! This is a story that depends on the votes of the viewers using the poll system. I will probably wait a week or so per poll in order to accumulate enough votes. After the week is up, viewers can still vote but it won't affect the story. This is my first interactive fiction so it might not be on par with the better ones. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed reading this story. Thanks.

Dungeon Man Sam
Dungeon Man Sam is a character-focused slow burn dungeon-building litRPG with elements of crafting Real Time Strategy. It updates 6 days a week, with a break on Saturdays. Dungeon Man Sam Vol. 1, Dungeon Man Sam and the Orphaned Core is now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! Official Dungeon man Sam Discord! Drop by and say hello! We're still tiny, but if you wave to me I'm always happy to wave back and chat! --------------- In a world where dungeons function as the backbone of national economies, dungeon construction is big business. Wealthy nations spend millions to have the best dungeon builders construct labyrinthine edifices full of the most dangerous traps and planted with the strongest dungeon cores in the hope of luring powerful adventurers in to retrieve the treasures generated deep within. Samuel Tolliver works for his father, who runs the finest construction crew on the continent. It is a good life, one that keeps him close to family and that earns him enough money to pursue his inventions when he has a free moment. He even has something of a talent for fixing things and keeping the various bits of equipment running. It should have been the best job in the world. There's just one problem. Sam hates dungeons and wants to destroy them all some day. And he's got the plan to do it, too. But life has a way of throwing curveballs at you. When a series of disastrous events that he himself set in motion culminates in Sam winding up dead, he thought that was the end of it. Until a voice came to him and offered him a deal, one he simply couldn't refuse. Now Dungeon Man Sam has returned to life as the guardian for a strange new dungeon core, one that will turn everything he knows about the world upside down and force him to set aside his hatred of dungeons. For the sake of himself, his friends, and his family, Sam must construct a dungeon like the world has never seen before and defend it against all comers, be they monstrous or adventurous. If he succeeds, he'll get to see his family again. If he fails, everyone he knows will fall into the grave. And somewhere beyond the range of his knowledge, something ancient and terrible stirs and takes notice. Dungeon Man Sam: When all you have is a hammer, you build. --------------- This Is A Work In Progress: This isn't the final form of Dungeon Man Sam, there's gonna be some typos, and things may change between chapters as I realize "crap, I didn't set that up nearly as well as I thought I did". I'll let you know if anything like that happens, and if you notice anything that you think is worth pointing out, feel free to let me know! Hope you enjoy the story!
