《Rise of Evil》Back to school

Zeta: "Do you see that ant over there?"
Me: "Yes i do."
Zeta: "Wrap some of your mana around it and try to control it"
I Wrap my mana around the ant and try to make it walk to me.
To my suprise, the ant stops in its tracks and starts walking over to me.
Once it reaches me, it stops and goes back to doing what it was doing which was nothing.
Zeta: "Good, but notice how the ant goes back to what it was doing? You need to essentially program it."
Me: "How am i going to do that?"
Zeta: "Its simple really. Just command it to do something like protect you and it will do that until the day it dies."
Me: "Oh ok that seems interesting"
I wrap my mana around the ant once more and command it to "Protect me with your life"
The ant promptly walks up to me and stands infront of my core.
Zeta: "It seems like you are learning faster than most other cores. The other cores have to keep trying over and over again 10 times!"
Me: "Anything else i need to know?"
Zeta: "Yes. As you know, you are inside a closed cave. If you stay in this closed off cave for any longer you might die."
Me: "Wait why?"
Zeta: "You are like a animal. You breath in unsuable mana and expel mana usable by humans and other creatures. If you have too much of the latter mana, your core will get corrupted and you will weaken before eventually dying. To prevent this, open a hole to the outside world. To do this, focus on the rock and visualize it being dug out."
I focus my mana around the rock and imagine a tunnel forming to the surface.

The rocks slowly part ways with a grinding sound and i feel the bad mana rush out of it.
The absence of bad mana seems to have empowered my core!
Zeta: "You are a being of pure mana. For this, you have a immunity to most magic."
Zeta: "Now, you need to learn how to corrupt stronger monsters. Controlling the ant was easy because it's mind was simple. But to control beings more than ants, you have to corrupt its mind using pure mana. When the monster is in your domain, it gets slowly corrupted to your cause. Active corruption uses more mana but is alot stronger and faster."
Me: "Is it possible to force evolutions on monsters?"
Zeta: "Well yes, but not at your level. Changing any living being's shape, or mentality is very mana intensive. Say the word "Status"."
Me: "Status"
Race: Demicore Name: Mana: 400/500 Population: 1 Mana regen: .1/h
Me: "Wait why do i only have .1 mana regen per hour?"
Zeta: "The more monsters you have, the faster and better you gain mana."

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
