《Fantasy Tech Online》Chapter 7: Invasion

- Wait, so I can talk telepathically to Bast. Rellik thinks, suprised.
-Looks like it, Rel. He hears a voice in his head.
-How did you know about this, old man?
-I was a beastmaster back in my time and I figured you'd have the same ability. The hermit shrugs. And my name isn't old man, it's Ricardo Flareleaf.
A booming noise sounds from the distance, in the direction of spawn. The noise is followed by other smaller booms.
-You have to go help your friends, Ricardo says. take this you'll need it.
As he runs to the clearing with Bast. Rellik looks at the man's gift.
Shadewolf hide cloak
A staple for young rogues starting on their journey
+10 stealth
He equips the item just as he reaches the valley, or, more appropriately, the battlefield. Rellik is once again reminded of how literal the expression "blood bath" can be. The ground is covered in the stuff as elves carelessly slaughter players, the only thing making the battle go on for this long is the fact that the players can respawn.
-Well, this is bad. Rellik gulps.
-You can say that again, Rel. Bast jumps on his shoulder. Let's go.
They circle around the field looking for an opening when a mean looking elf with a black battleaxe that had red laser-like tips.
-Well, what do we have here? The thug says with a german accent. Where are your parents? he sneers.
-Going all in with the villain aspect, I see. Maybe you should get a scar, you know, to sell the look.
The brute swung and Rellik barely caught it with his scimitar. Using his free arm, he forms a comet and punchs the elf in the gut. The thug doubles over, groaning in pain. Rellik tries to cut the man's head but the sword clangs agains metal.

-You really think I wouldn't have armor, punk? The elf growls. Go back to your momma.
-Die, jerk. Rellik says through gritted teeth.
He raises his blade and stabs through the brute's eye. Rellik looks around, searching for Bast.
-Where are you?
-In the ship, why?
He sighs and heads to the mothership, jumping and dodging blows from both sides. Upon entering the spacecraft, he looks around. The interior is futuristic but reminds him of nature and trees, the main pathway is oak brown while the cristaline light fixtures are an emerald green.
-Ok, I'm in the ship where are you exactly.
-I'm in the engine room, Rel. Did you know that elves use soul gems to power their ships? Think about it, actual souls.
-Calm down Bast. Meet me in navigation, we need to figure out how to make this ship go back to it's home.
-Look what we have here, a young moon elf. What are you doing here, kid?
Rellik turns around, shocked to see someone on the ship. This new elf has tanned skin, golden hair and olive eyes.
-You're going to have to explain yourself to the king.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
