《The Ritual of the Summoned Ones》Escape to the Great Beyond (The Door)

“Cough, cough, oh my god whyyyyy!”
“Can't I catch a freaking break dammit”
Hadrian tried to wipe as much dust as he could off his face and out of his eyes, but he didn't have much luck his dry hands making poor tools for the job. Stumbling through the door he could hardly see anything in front of him, the dust distorting his vision as he tries to reach out to find anything in his path.
“Huh” Hadrian stops dead in his tracks, the sounds of streaming water echo in his ears.
“Is that really water, are can’t be that lucky can I”
He hears the sound of water dripping in front of him, he tries to carefully navigate his way to the sound of the water. As Hadrian was reaching out trying to find the source of the sound, his hand touches something. Through his blurred vision he could vaguely make out something that looked like a large fountain.
'Splaash' “Ahhhhhh, thank god”
Hadrian sinks his face into the water at the base of the fountain and scrubs the dust off his face and eyes. He is able to finally get ever out of his eyes and manages to have a look around the room he's entered.
It was a large oddly shaped octagonal room, five other doors identical to one Hadrian exited littered 5 sides of the octagon. The fountain that he is standing next to was exactly in the center of the room, a large stone tablet took a whole wall, the strong glow of the unreadable script illuminated the whole room and the final feature of the room was an imposing gate covered in the same cravings that coated the very room it stood.
“So am I the only one here or are there a bunch of other magically kidnapped people still stuck in their rooms like I was”

Hadrian starts to walk over to other doors wanting to check if they are occupied, he starts banging on the stone doors and shouting hoping to see if anyone inside would answer.
“Huh it seems I'm on my own then, really can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing, I could have ended up with a bunch of psychopath's, coward's or even worse those idiots with hero complexes. Probably would have got me killed or worse, man those guys are a bunch of self-righteous dick bag’s”
“Well I should probably check out that giant glowing tablet, anything that ridiculous must be important”. Hadrian walks up to the tablet as he’s start getting closer the glow of the script starts to weaken, as he got closer and closer he could actually make out the shape of the marking on the tablet.
Now if Hadrian was lucky enough to summoned with a whole party, one of his companions would have received a support class or skill that would have provided the help they needed to read the forgotten language inscribed upon the glowing stone but Hadrian wasn't lucky, and he wasn’t summoned with a full party or even a single companion he was all alone, his class was completed focused on combat, long story short he was fucked.
“Wait what the fuck is this, I can't read this shit it looks like kanji had an ugly baby with elvish runes, English motherfucker do you write it. What a bunch of fucking retards you can control time and space but you can't make this fucking thing in English, ... can't catch a fucking break can I”
......
Hadrian stood there in a daze for a while, hoping a solution will come and not really knowing what to do now, the last few hours haven't been easy on him, Challenge after challenge and surprise after surprise have taken a toll on his mental health.

“Well fuck it might as well take the full dive into this madness then bite the bullet as it were, take the dive, punch that honey badger right in the balls!”
“STATUS!!”
' [ Name: Summoned One 66513 ]
[ Class: Swordsman ]
[ Strength - 12 ]
[ Endurance - 11]
[ Dexterity - 16 ]
[ Intelligence - 8 ]
[ Wisdom - 9 ]
[ Luck – 21 ] '
“Yep that works great, 100% not going insane at all”, Hadrian decided to take a moment to fully take in his status, taking his time to digest the fact that his entire physical and mental existence is now being displayed fully in front of his face as a bunch of numbers.
“Wait what kind of bullshit is this, you can literally reconstruct my whole body but you can't even display my name correctly. I state again what kind of bullshit is this My name is Hadrian, HADRIAN, H.A.D.R.I.A.N, YOU UNDERSTAND TRASH BAG!!”
'Ding’ STATUS PAGE CHANGE ACTIVATED'

“...great, thank you so much now can you tell me what's going one?”
.....
.....
.....
“Balls”
“I call bullshit on that luck stat, I think I'm fucking cursed”
“Can you at least show what my stats mean and what classes are you dick”
“Please?”
......
“Wait, so I don't even get an explanation about anything, I don't even know what any of those stats could mean what the hell do they change!?”
“I say again, whoever or whatever was in charge of this creating this shit was retarded”
Hadrian now stuck on what to do, so he decided to sit down and read through the old recorded logs, hoping to find something he missed.
“I'm guessing trying to ask about Skills or Blessings isn't going to get me anywhere, right?”
“Yep, well that's great also why the fuck is one of my Blessing's a curse, what the hell luck stat do your fucking job you dick”
“God I hope luck is actually luck and not some other obnoxious bullshit”
“Well down the list I go, ... ohhhh what's this I spy upon my log, what indeed do I see”
“Equipment and an Inventory, hahaha my luck is starting to turn around and it’s not just normal equipment but class equipment, motherfucker I'm going to get me a sword!”
“Don't know what I need a sword for but with my amazing powers of deduction I'm going guess I'm probably in some sort Dungeon. I can’t think of any over reason I would be cursed by them .....”
“....wait I'm in a Dungeon?, a fucking Dungeon, a monster spawning Dungeon?, probably I don't know never heard of a non monster Dungeon, haven't ever read a novel about a fucking friendly Dungeon, hell even when normal humans are reincarnated into them in the books, they go bat crap crazy and start killing everyone .....”
“I'm so fucked”
.....
.....
“Well at least I've got a sword”
“Inventory !”
'Ding' 'SUMMONED ONE HASNT FOR FILLED REQUIREMENTS TO ACTIVATE INVENTORY'
....
“...well that’s just great”

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
