《RE:tombdungeon》3 expansion, flowers and servants
Advertisement
Chapter 3
There are a total of 12 dead bodies lying in front of me, definitely too much to absorb in one go. With a quick look in my status, I see that I have only 2 mana left which means 4 mana for the chainmail armor. So I am going to absorb the bodies one after the other, and expand my territory with each one of them.
with only 10 mana I was able to add about 25m² to my territory so with this much to absorb I will really have some growth and may be able to get my mana pool higher somehow…
…
About 10 minutes later I have absorbed the first 6 bodies and made some area extension. I got 15 mana for each person so 90 mana + the 2 remaining mana from before. It seems to be the case that every unit of mana I use for expanding my territory results in 2,5m² of new territory, which means with my newly invested 92 mana I got a whole 230 m² so now I have a perception range of 280m² in form of a radius around my core.
In this newly acquired area I find a few interesting things, which are of course tombs,skeletons and more bushes and thorns, but also a few interesting shiny things, and even with the bigger radius I am not able to get anywhere close to the town, so no getting dead people by myself…
Before I absorb the remaining 6 people, I clear the bushes near the area I’ve already cleared, which gives me a total 18 mana.
Because I think size is not everything, and in Afghanistan we have been honouring our deaths I want to make their resting place a bit nicer, so some flowers, maybe restoring nearby standing broken tombs this kind of thing, so concentrate…
What kind of flowers do you want to grow ?
red helast the red helast flower can be used for healing purposes only
blue manos the blue manos can be used for mana regenerating purposes only
violet rasha the scent of the violet rasha flower makes you feel happy, but has no other purposes
I seem to be able to choose from these 3 flowers, but to be honest, why should I choose? flowers look the nicest when they grow between differently coloured flowers, so let’s try and concentrate on all 3 of them…
Ohh nice flowers, before my imaginary eyes (I’m a Dungeon core remember?) the flowers come sprouting from the earth, and are now filling the places between the graves.

They might have grown a bit too quickly to make me believe that they are normal flowers, but might be my magic, right?
From the 18 mana I had from the thorns, this cost me only 6 mana, so I use the remaining 12 mana to repair the tombstones in the nearby vicinity.
So back to absorbing, 6 boys remaining which means a lot of area increase …
After absorbing 4 bodys and making the gained mana into dungeon territory something strange happen
You have gained a new skill through absorbing an mason
Masonry your buildings can be build much bigger, and are sturdier
So with absorbing someone with a special skill, I gain the skill? So I just need to absorb as many educated beings as possible right? No, better not, I don’t know if there are any strong guys out there, and hey that was not something I as an Afghan boy would think, must be these ‘evil aspects’ the stupid goddess added to ‘my soul’. I really must be careful with the things I do…
After absorbing the last guy and expanding my territory with the gained mana I have a total of about 510m² dungeon territory, my vision has really expanded.
So what to do now? Until the guys with some new dead bodies return, it’s still some time…
I’m know absorbing the remaining bushes and thorns in the area, and mostly on the places near the way. Making the whole area look cleaner, and at the same time easier to traverse. Because of this the guys should have it easier with their carriage full of new mana, ehh dead bodys of course, poor people...well somehow I’m happy that there is this kind of disease.
So with the first 18 mana I absorbed I made the road, or should I better say path more easy to walk on, so putting gravel on top, making some gutters on the side of the path who are leading in the earth all 10 meters, so something like a gully. That cost me a whopping 15 mana, and of course that was only the way till the end of my territory.
I want more people at this place, I want them to come here and help me, so I need to make it more comfortable to live here.
Back to absorbing the last remaining thorns and bushes… with the gained mana I restore the tombs, and grow some more flowers, then fill the smaller paths that are all over the graveyard with gravel, because they are leading to the bigger path, I make it so they bring the rain water -if there comes some- to the main path.

Finally the soldier and his helpers come back, with a new carriage of dead bodies, faster this time…
At the moment they see the changes, the gawk in awe even if there is still not much grass on the ground, so you see much brown between the flowers,tombs and paths.
The soldier seems to be the first one to recover and comes to my core followed by the other guys -who haven’t really seen me before- and kneels before me.
“My lord, we have brought the requested dead bodies, do you have any further orders?”
“Yes, bring me every dead person in this town, so I can use their energy to help the remaining ones.” I say, somehow I really like this kinda ‘Lord play’.
“As you wish my lord” the guard says and stands up, to move out of the chapel, but gets stopped by the other guys, who are eying me curiously.
“What is this, Gerad ?” one of the man asks the guard, to which he answers “this guys is the Dungeon Core of the Royal tomb, the one whom I swore my allegiance to.” With this he bows to me an leaves the room.
The remaining man are dumbstruck, till the one who asked Gerad the question comes up to me and says “ I don’t know who you are, but I have never seen the graveyard as beautiful as now, as a man who honours the dead, and now can see some hope for the future, I want to swear my allegiance to you like Gerad did” he finish and drops to one knee, followed by his 5 companions who repeat his swear of allegiance.
Troubling things, but I have to see the good sides, some new servants for my dungeon.
“I’m glad that people like you live in this area, serve me and obey me, then I will protect and feed you.” with that I absorb the first of the dead bodies on the carriage and make the first of these guys the ‘standard armor and sword’ like the ones Gerad is wearing.
“wear these and do your duties” I command them.
““As you wish my lord”” answer the man in one voice, take their new equipment and after a last bow leave to room to put the remaining 9 dead bodies on the ground.
I absorb them body after body and use the gained mana to further expand my territory. Sadly I do not get any skills...
With this last expansion I have now the ‘ownership’ of the entry to the churchyard, sadly not the complete path to the gate because of some curves in the path, but that wouldn’t take this much longer with now 7 servants bringing dead bodies to my place.

Hacking Reality (A teenage Mad Scientist's story.)
Maya Williams was smart. For the first time however, she realized she might be a little too smart. At least if the fact that a gang had kidnapped her was any indication. But that didn’t matter, because she’d show them. She’d show them all!!! Just as soon as the voices in her head could agree on how to get out of this mess. --- Please Note: This is a version of a forum quest I run following a teenage Mad Scientest with heroic tendencies in the same city/setting as my other stories the Huntsman's Quest and Get Ink'd. Meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

Valley of Titans' Tales
In a realm of fantasy, filled with great wonders but also dangers… Its inhabitants are tied in a cruel wheel of destiny, as darkness and corruption prowled the realm since its very beginning; to corrupt and deform them to the point of no return. The Gods and Goddesses’ mortal creations: Humans, High Elves, Amanis, Barakas, Castanics, Elins, and Poporis were blinded by their own nature and desires for centuries. Thus, their short-sighted ideals and racial barriers led to long, constant wars between themselves, destroying all possibilities for peace within the realm. And when they finally realized their tremendous mistakes, they can no longer undo their mistakes, no matter how much they tried, as they slowly fell into the crude gears of destiny. Except, when all hope had been extinguished and all possible solutions were swept away by the hands of darkness… ...An unknown black-haired magician bestowed another chance to this realm overwhelmed by the darkness, by turning back the hands of time. After time rewinded, opportunities revealed themselves now within arm's reach… The next step needed to save the realm was someone to take ahold of those opportunities. But…none remembered even a sliver of the bleak future, mildly drawing near to them like a spider closing in a helpless prey. Will they be able to change the bleak future? Or will history repeat itself again, as if destiny itself is taking charge? Based on the MMORPG The Exiled Realm of Arborea, Valley of Titans Server (TERA).

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
