"something" discussion
'something' thought
*something* sfx
Dan
I woke up in a familiar room, alone.
I looked around me, I'm on a bed, everything around me is familiar: I am at home?!
How did I come back here?
I try to remember what happened before I black out.
She is really a demon, Carl was on the ground, trying his best to not faint, and she came in front of him to taunt him"
Not an ounce of pity.
'I hope I will not be the next victim' I think to myself shivering.
As I stood up a piece of paper fell on the ground, a letter.
"To Dan,
So you should be the last one in this room when you wake up.
The parents of your little friends should've come to take them back at home,
but you kinda have nobody to take you home.Sorry to say that but it's a fact.
Well what matter is that I'm a generous and beautiful lady so I took you home
I cooked you something too!
Well, I did that not because I said I owed you something, but because you said that I'm beautiful!
And maybe because I had nothing better to do... continue like that and you'll have success with women.
Continue like that and you'll have success with women.
That's it I hope you enjoy the food
-Whip "
Next to her nickname was a kiss mark.
Even if she is a demon to those she doesn't like, she is sweet to others.
This kindness I will remember it, I swear to myself.
Going to the kitchen I saw the food she made for me.
I sat on a chair the food in front of me and I began to eat.
The flavor was nothing special, but... I couldn't stop to eat (A.N: Is it good?)
It was the first food that I ate in 2 years that I didn't make myself.

After finishing the dish I went to my bed, to sleep, promising myself to be the best in class to thanks her for today.
Tomorrow morning, after eating and washing myself, I went directly to the training grounds, to the cabin to go underground.
Carl was outside of a gravity room gasping for air.
I waved my hand to salute him.
He seemed to want to say me something, but said nothing, glaring at me, he entered the room next to him without giving me a second look.
'whatever'
I searched a free gravity room and entered it.
" 2 times"
I just finished my sentence that I was brought to my knee.
"1 times"
I almost cried.
Panting...How can she stay at 5 times the gravity as if it was nothing?!
"2 times" gaveI tried again
only to see the same result.
I tried the whole day and had given up to go home.
I can't achieve an objective of 3 months in just one day, I consoled myself.
The following week too only to see almost no result, following the same routine of trying and failing.
I was resting outside of the room, gasping for air, when an adult with a full barb and a mustache.
"You're a newbie right? I can see the young me in you!"He said smiling.
I didn't know how he could see himself in me, he was a head taller than me, so muscled that he was almost twice as big as me, but I didn't answer.
"As shy as I was, I see... You know what I like you I will tell you an advice"He begun smiling
"You should stop what you're doing now, it can help you bu it'll take time, and you're rewarded if you're first right?"
Not waiting for my answer.
"If you have the point you should exchange them for enchanted stuff that can add some weight on you by multiplying the gravity around you. It'll be like a portable gravity room.

If the gravity around you is more important your body will end up adapting to it.
The only advantage of the gravity room, against this stuff, is that when you faint inside people will know, so you can test your limits.
That was my advice little one, it's up to you if you want to follow it."
Finishing with that he left.
I left and went to the shop of the school, where John was the shopkeeper.
His appearance was somehow scary, he was totally bandaged, even his tail.
When I asked him about the stuff the adult advised me about, his eyes lighted up and he tried to tell me something, but only muffled sounds escaped his bandaged mouth.
He went inside the shop and came back with a bracelet.
Looking at the price I hesitated a bit but finally bought it.
'He shouldn't have any reason to lie to me' I hoped.
It took a good 2/3 of my points.
I could use the bracelet to add gravity progressively, I learn that I could multiply the gravity by a decimal number.
From this day onward I was living constantly with more gravity than others around me.
At the end of the first month, I could support 1.23 time the gravity.
During this time, I didn't talk to anyone in the class, I didn't even go to the underground complex.
I just rested in the surface doing simple exercises like running or some push-up.
I took me only 2 months and 1 week to complete the first objective.
I from that point I began to go to the dodge challenge, from what I heard the girls already managed to complete it.
The first time I try it I god beaten black and blue, but after some time I remarked that I tried with the bracelet on.
Putting the gravity back to normal I felt freedom, I could go faster, react faster, I passed the challenge easily.
But it was not enough for me as I wasn't doing it as easily as her .(?)(A.N: help plz)
For the next 3 weeks, I challenged, again and again, the room, trying to feel the attack behind me like her, trying to use minimum movement to dodge like John.
During that time I even increased the gravity to 2.2 to force myself to use a minimum of movement.
The bracelet could make the gravity up to 3 times stronger, I will have to change for a better version if I want something that can add more.
As the time ran up I knew I improved, I was able to dodge everything, not like Whip that dodged everything like it was the most natural thing in the world, but it was better than in the beginning.
I was proud of myself, but I knew I could do better...Well times up!
Let's see How the others are doing.
A.N:
Well guy so here the chapter, since we are now tomorrow...I sorry for yesterday I couldn't update...
I hope you can forgive me. ">
So in this chapter 3 months pass, our mc can't keep being a child right? so the story will speed up a little I think.
Training isn't really fun so I'll try to finish it quickly.
Also, I need you, in this chapter, there are points where I'm not sure what to write so if you can help me in the comment I'll appreciate.
Thanks Franbarra2011 for your comment and your review parkle: , I hope you'll keep enjoying my story.
So that is it, so see you next time! ">
I'm going leeping:

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
8 258A Lazy Programmer
Marcus spends his days writing compilers until he finds himself propelled into another world: one where magic exists and is governed by laws similar to those of any programming language. While he's an excellent software engineer, any mistake in this world leads to magic backlash up to and including massive explosions. The dangers of this world include not just the pressing attacks of monsters flooding from dungeons, magical beings inimical to civilization, deadly weather, and magic-enforced slavery ... but also the slow decline of civilized peoples: they're crumbling under all the pressures as well as low birth-rates and high infant mortality rates.Can a lazy programmer save civilization?
8 633The Oracle Paths
Have you ever wished you exactly knew how to accomplish your dreams? Not feeling the slightest doubt anymore? Being aware at any time how every choice, action and decision of yours affects your future?That's what happened to Jake Wilderth, a procrastinating young man without ambition. When a mysterious silver spaceship, popping out from nowhere, delivered to each Earthling a bracelet containing an AI introducing itself as the Oracle, their destiny changed.From a boring uneventful life Jake began to strive for greatness, treading his Path over the dead bodies of many.What a blessing it would have been if he was the only one profiting of such a gift! But when everyone became equal to face the future, he soon realized no gift comes for free..Just a warning. Volume 1 sets the atmosphere in a Earth slowly degenerating into chaos and can be considered as a big prologue. It is slow and not as rewarding for the readers than mainstream stories on this website. If you can push through it will be worth it. For some real action you need to wait chap 27.===================================NB: English is not my native language and despite my best efforts there can be some mistakes. Thanks for your understanding.
