《The New World Rising : How to Build a Dungeon Kingdom》Chapter 1 - The First Prey
Advertisement
The first thing I ever felt was hunger. I got up on my feet and started to prowl under the shadow of evergreen trees for food. My pursuit of finding something to eat luckily shortly resulted in success. I saw a hare in a small bush 50 meters in front of me. I did not have any skills yet, but my luck was immeasurable due to the full moon. Jumping on the bush without a second of hesitation, I caught the hare from its ears. I killed my first prey with an instinct of survival.

*10 Spirit Coins (SP) earned
The sentences crossed my mind as if announcements were made just because of my actions. I understood all of them except for the last one.
“10 Spirit Coins (SP) earned”
What did this mean? I tried to imagine the topology of whatever this “spirit coin” was. Just when my head started to ache a little, a list appeared before my big shiny eyes.

Leather stripes x5 – 5 SP
Pigeon feathers x5 – 5 SP

Flintstone. That was what I needed for the hare. I figured out that this was a purchasing system, but I did not know how to purchase that which I need to. Maybe if I imagined buying it… I decided to give it a shot.
A small flint stone appeared above the palm of my left hand. I grabbed it and sat on the first rock before me. I gathered some sticks from the ground and made a fire. I ripped the skin of the hare I caught with my bare hands and started to heat the meat.

*Title “Survivor” earned
*25 SP earned
I ate the hare with a great joy. It was not tasty but I did not care about its taste as I devoured the meat. Honestly, I was starving.
I wanted to use the skin of the hare but it was perished. I finished my food and got on my feet to find a place to spend the night. I was desperate to find a place to sleep safely. I found an open field enclosed with different types of trees and a river. I concluded that this would be a good place to settle.
It was darkening and sun was about to disappear from the sky very soon. I did not know of any creatures dwelling on the ground in this planet anew to him. I decided to climb up a tree and spend the night on a branch. I looked around and found a strong enough branch to spend my night on.

The Polyglot's Rune
Fear. Regret. Memories. They all flashed before my eyes as my life began to fade away. I felt a darkness encroach upon my heart followed by a sinister foreboding. Within that moment I was asked a single question by a powerful, mystical being. “Brave being, do you wish to accomplish a great deed in your life?” “No,” I refused, but the voice did not listen. It summoned me to its world only to try to have me slaughtered. But then, I was saved by him, the princess who disguised herself as a man. He was hellbent on revenge, and he was determined to drag me down with him. This story is meant to be a bit of a mix of genres and cultures, so there are some elements that may seem xianxia like, but it's not exactly the same so I didn't tag it. It also has multiple lead characters but is written in first person. Schedule: Dropped Normal Chapter Length: approximately 3000 words Warning: Tagged [15+] for Strong Language and Violence (Gore and Profanity aren't very prevalent, but I added the warning tags just in case).
