“Ahaa, ahaa, ahaa, funny status guy thinks he's a funny man, status system thing don't you, well you're not! WHY IN GOD'S NAME TELL ME ABOUT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING ASSHOLE, REALLY AFTER ALL THE BUILD UP, REALLY!!!”

“...great, just great...”

Hadrian lost it, the cornerstone of his hope his biggest chance for survival was just tore from him, having no idea what to do now he just lay there still like the stone floor under him.

Lost in his despair and rage, Hadrian couldn't even begin to think of what he could to do, it wouldn't be until a couple of hours have passed that he finally calmed down enough.

“Haaaaaaaaa, I'm going to have to go through that giant ass foreboding hell gate aren't I ?”

“...yaaaaaaaaay.....”

“Couldn't have given me a weapon, I would have taken a dagger, I mean was to too much to ask for, hell I would have even happy with a big stone....”

“GIMME A BIG FUCKING STONE YOU BAG OF DICKS!!!!!!!”

“Gimme a stone, big ole stone, gimme, gimme, gimme a stone after midnight....., Ah fucking ABBA haunts me to this day....”

“GIMME A STONE”

.....

“AHHHHH FUCK IT, I'M COMING FOR YOUR ASS, YOU BIG BITCH GATE!!”

Hadrian jumps up off the floor and starts to sprint towards the gate. Rage fully fuelling his body and mind, the gate quickly filling his vision he arrived in front of it.

“Okay, okay you can do this, open it up and see what's in there. It could be the exit for all I know 100% not going to be a Dungeon, yep not going to be a scary ass Dungeon with real life monsters that not even my worst nightmares could imagine, yep yep yep, no problem what’s so ever. noooooo problem at all.”

“Okay you can do it, just do it, JUST DO IT!!!, ahh fucking Shia LeBoeuf was straight up bat shit crazy....”

“Stop stalling and go you pussy, channel the power of SHIA LABOEUFFFFFF!!!”

Hadrian ripped open the gate doors only to find nothing in front of his face. It took him a few moments to realize what it was, it was darkness. A true darkness, a pitch black that his original world he came from could ever hope to mimic, a darkness so thick you couldn't tell if it was liquid or gas.

“..... Fuckkkkk that....”

“Nope, nah not doing that you can go screw yourselves”

“Balls really, fucking really, how in god's name do I have 21 luck. Is the average luck stat 200 or something, I call bullshit”

“Well shit isn't going change with me just standing here and doing nothing, can't really see anything to eat in stone land, land of the stones”.

Hadrian slowly reaching his hand out to touch the black film that covers the gates entrance way, he barely grazed it before he yanks his hand back.

“Fuck”

....

Hadrian stood solid a rock, as soon as his hand passed through the film of black, it felt as if his fingers no longer existed, like they just disconnected from his body, like they never even there.

“Holy crap, hollllyyyy crap, that was freaky, definitely a first for me”

Hadrian, mustering up all the courage from every fiber of his being and went to touch it again.

“Come on man you can do this, you already lost your black gate virginity, you can do this, SHIA LABEOUF POWERS ACTIVATE!!!!”

Hadrian plunged head first straight into the gate, darkness enveloped his entire being, he couldn't tell if he was even alive or not, time stood still he didn't know if he was trapped there a second or a whole year.

'BAM' He landed on his head, “Damn that was a trip and a half”

Hadrian took note of where he was, it was a ruin of some sort in a large cave like area, he couldn't really see much detail, the darkness only fading thanks to dimly glowing veins spreading throughout the cave.

'Ding' 'NEW SKILL LEARNED'

'NIGHT VISION – LEVEL 1'

'SKILL TUTORIAL CAN NOW BE STARTED'

'PLEASE RETURN TO SAFE ZONE TO BEGIN'

.......

“Really, why in god's name did it activate now”

'FULL ACCESS TO ALL SYSTEMS CAN ONLY BE ACTIVATED IN THE DUNGEON SPACE'.

“Great, now let's see what the situation is in here, then buck it back into the safe zone, well at least I know what the stone zone is called now”

With the surroundings illuminated better now thanks to the new skill he unlocked, Hadrian finally could see in much better detail, the ancient ruins of what looks to be a small medieval town, small stone houses, mostly destroyed, covered in a thick layer of dust.

“Well crap, what the hell is this place and why is there a town in a Dungeon, was the town dragged into the Dungeon or was the Dungeon formed around the town”

Hadrian decided to do a bit of scouting if this Dungeon really has monsters, he decided to try and get at least a small understanding of the lay out, in case he has to really fight mobsters and needs the most direct route of escape.

“Damn this place is huge”, Hadrian set off on his miniature adventure to see if he can find any landmarks to use as starting point close to the gate.

“Well not really much around here, ...ohhhhh, what's that, no way I'm that lucky, you got to be kidding me”

Just a short way from the gate did Hadrian notice something on the floor, something that even his greatest fantasy couldn't realize.

“HAHAHAHAHA I SHALL BE INVINCIBLE” Hadrian burst into a sprint, arriving at his destination faster than he thought he could ever move.

The treasure in front of was finally in full view.

It was a pile of big rocks.

“Haha haha praise mighty ABBA and the many stone gods for this mighty bounty”

“Well that's enough of that, let's go build a few little piles that I can use as markers”

So Hadrian got to work making small stone piles at further and further distances from the gate until he was at the edge of the small town, equipping himself with a decent sized rock he decided to venture into the town and see if he can salvage anything from the nearby buildings.

“Damn, what the hell happened to this place, it's absolutely wrecked”

As he started to get a better view of the buildings, he could truly see the devastation, what he thought to be an ancient ruin was actually just a destroyed town, small craters dotted the roads and buildings, windows smashed and door completely wrecked, scorch marks littering nearly every scrap of wood he could see.

“What or whoever did this I hope they are long gone”

The closer and closer he got to the building the greater fear he felt for whatever reaped this unholy destruction on this town, every inch telling a tale of pain and misery.

As he wandered deeper into the town he could vaguely make out bits and pieces of sign and logos of the various building, it would seem he entered at the commercial district of the town.

“Please tell me that sign means what I think it means”.

Hadrian spots a half broken sign in front of a building, it was that of a hammer.

“Please god, please let that be a blacksmith”, Hadrian drops his stone and runs until what he hopes is an actual blacksmith with actual weapon's that are not stupid rock.

“Haha haha stupid stone, I don't need you now you turd, come to me, pretty pretty swords come to daddy”.

Bursting through the doors, Hadrian saw them in all their glory, weapons lined the walls behind the counter of the store, axes, hammers, spears, daggers but more importantly swords, glorious swords, Hadrian hoped picking a sword will unlock his inventory giving him access to his inventory.

'Clink, Clank, Clink, Clank', Hadrian stops dead, something is behind him, it was hidden in the corner of the shop. Hadrian was frozen, in his excitement he forgot where he was, this wasn't a safe place it was a destroyed town in Dungeon, God knows what lives in this place.

Hadrian slowly turns the head to see what was behind him, a rusted armored foot was the first thing he saw, as turned further the being finally came into full view, fully equipped in what looks to be chain mail armor and a mace gripped in its hand was none other than a skeleton, a real-life undead creature.

Hadrian still frozen can only watch as the undead swing it's hammer with deadly precision, right into his head, his last thought, a memory echoes in his mind, of him dropping his stone of him denouncing the stone gods, “I'M SORRY STONE GODS PROTECTTT MEEEEEE!!!!”

'CRANK' The skeleton tripped over a rock and smashed its skull into its own mace.

“...ha...haha.....hahahaaaaah.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAALLLLLLL HAIL THE MIGHTY STONE GODS AND PRAISE THEIR MIGHTY CHOSEN ONE”

Hadrian shouts while holding the stone that tripped the skeleton over.
