That was a lot less than I thought the quest from the Nether Gods would be. The only thing that gave me any cause for concern was the fact I had somehow already possessed 1 of the required magics for Chaos and I apparently knew 1 of Havoc’s domains.
I don’t know if my core gives off a particular feeling or my color changes, but Umbra was staring at me like something was wrong with me. She just hovered in the air, dragonfly wings making a pleasant buzz, while smiling at me with one of those I know something you don’t know grins. When I didn’t answer for a few seconds, she finally gave up and told me what I couldn’t figure out myself.

“Alaric, I swear sometimes you are a little too dense. The magic you already have is shamanism and the domain you know of is war. It’s really simple when you think about it. You got a notification saying that Chaos granted you the magic of shamans and I basically told you what Havoc was about, it doesn't take a genius to realize that's how come you already have those parts done. Now you just have to figure out how to get other types of magic and what at least two of Havoc’s other domains are.” Umbra finished her answer by doing a triple spin in the air, easy when you have wings to hold you up, then landed softly on top of my core gem.
Man, o man does Umbra get to the point sometimes. Wish she didn’t make it seem like I’m an idiot. Every time I get new information my mind swims for a while, and I slow down. I haven’t told Umbra yet but now I’m starting to worry, especially since she pointed out how I overlooked the obvious notification that I got about the magic, and now I can definitely remember us talking about Havoc’s powers earlier, at least I think we did.
“Fair enough, let's move on from talking about the quest that I’m going to choose for now and focus on what to do with the neutral floor? I would like some time to process that information before pursuing a specific Nether God’s attention. So, any ideas come to mind Umbra or does this count as influencing my choice?”
Umbra closed her eyes and took several deep breaths then told me what she thought “I can tell you to add the neutral floor to Havoc’s already existing floor since there's not really a choice at this time. I can’t tell you anything about the other Nether Gods.”

Umbra’s answer was about what I was expecting, they are really strict about choice, and then there are the quests that I have. I was almost ready to make a decision. Just one last thing to confirm one last little detail, that would either make or break the plan I’m starting to form.
“Umbra, is the system capable of answering questions?” She leaned over and looked into my core and nodded. Good cause if it didn't, I might have had to take a leap of faith on it. “System, if I choose to dedicate a neutral floor to another one of the Nether Gods, would I instantly get the floor or is there a wait?”
It will take 1 year to dedicate a neutral floor to one of the other Nether Gods. There is no wait time for adding a floor to a pre-existing wing of the dungeon.
That's better and worse than I expected. I honestly was not expecting it to tell me anything, but this new information does make my decision easier. At first, I was thinking of dedicating another floor but since it would take a whole ass year to do it. Now I’m leaning towards finishing their quests since it's much faster. Plus, I figure that I can at least complete Ruin’s or Psychosis's quests quickly once I get visitors running through, I mean Ruin is just burring 100 bodies, and Psychosis is gathering information, easy right.
Let’s start now, no telling how long it’s gonna take to finish building it, add the neutral floor to Havoc’s wing.
Are you sure you wish to add the neutral floor to the currently existing wing of the dungeon? (Y/N)
Yes, I do.
Floor Added Successfully You May Begin Construction At Your Leisure
“Umbra, we are a go for the second floor.”
Umbra rolled her eyes at me and nearly fell to the floor laughing. “Understood sir.” She said, giving me a small salute. “When shall you begin the digging and connection process?”
“Right now!”

Macabre Mim
*Note: This story is on hiatus. I intend to pick it up again, but the mood of my life has shifted for the time being and I'm going to be working on a side project for a bit.* What would you give to live the life of your dreams? What kind of deal would you make? And when you were there, forced to stare your dreams in the eye and live them every day, how long would it be... before they broke you? Author's note: This is my first excursion outside the realm of villain fan fiction and I welcome feedback. The thing I've loved most about RRL so far is the potential for writing to be an interactive experience with excited readers. That said, also, the primary genre this is intended for is the blossoming realm of LitRPG. Namely, a slice of life tale in the manner of Grimgar or Re:Zero. So, likewise, I don't expect there will ever be a clear beginning-middle-and-end type of pattern to this story. It will likewise always be a bit more of a reactionary, exploratory novel into realms unknown - much like the 1800 travel-novel theme used by Jules Verne. Or, at least, that is my ambition.

Reincarnation of a Businessman
A businessman is betrayed by those he holds dearest and reincarnates into a mystical world of cultivation where the power of a single person can split the heavens. However, his reincarnation does not go smoothly... ******************** This is a xianxia (cultivation/progression fantasy) story which fuses a lot of western fantasy elements. This story includes POV's of different characters which are all going to be developed in the future and will have an effect on the story. The novel is named after the reincarnation of the businessman which serves as a cataclysm in the world of cultivation, and while the MC uses some of his business knowledge, this novel is not centered around the MC creating a business empire. I plan to extend the story into at least 2 books, both taking place in the same world. ******************** Updates will happen once every 2 days, but this is often going to change to once every day or once every 3 days because I am not currently writing full-time, and neither is my editor.

Den of Vipers
The Year is XXXX, and a deep, heavy fog sets in all over not just the planet, but the whole of the universe, sending all within into a deep, deep sleep. When they awake, all has changed, and both for the better and the worse. Everything has changed, from the new, impossibly massive planet that all now occupy to the terrain to the very rules of reality themselves. But what has changed the most are the people. It seemed as though Humanity was alone in the cosmos, but no longer, as new, monstrous races have been born from the flesh of those whom the Fog singled out. With the survivors rewarded for each altered former human they kill, along with each heroic (and villainous) act that they engage in, those who have changed are forced to run, hide, and try to fight back. But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans.
