《Gargoile found the library tower》Chapter 10. Prelude of disaster

"Thank you so much for teaching what are dogs. I already own so much to you. How can I ever repay you?" (hunter)
"Normally I would say: I´m just happy to be useful to you, But I indeed need your help with something." (Gargoile)
"How may I help you?" (hunter)
"I need to find out what it is like outside here. I could only help you because you were close enough here. I need geography information about this place." (Gargoile)
"Why do you need that? It isn´t like I don´t trust you but it is illegal to sell maps. I think you are asking exactly that." (hunter)
"I am." (Gargoile)
"Like I said. Why do you need that?" (hunter)
Many people have gotten themselves killed because they sold maps. Even if you don´t get got then someone would come with army and attack there. Only extreme fool would do so by any reason. I am greatful for him but this is a whole another case.
"I need it to survive. You think that I am great wizard but I am gargoyle. I have meet those who have accepted me as who I am but that isn´t enough. I have caused troubles for them. They can´t be with me. They must at some point betray me or they will perish. That can´t go on. I must gain power to protect those who accept me. For that I need knowledge as much as possible." (Gargoile)
"I understand that part but all knowledge here can be shared with everybody. Just so you know. There is strong military country right next to us. I doubt that they would attack my country but I can´t take that risk. I want to help you but I can´t." (hunter)

"I see. Forget about it. That would be better for both of us." (Gargoile)
"No problem. I have something I would like to ask you. My dog is acting kind of strange. It is like she knows something is going to happen. Do you have any idea what might be cause of it?" (hunter)
"Let me think. Someone might be trespassing. No that is just stupid. Village would have noticed that easily. Nothing was stolen then it can´t be thief. Wait! I have an idea. Animals are capable of noticing small differences which causes natural catastrophes. It might be storm or even a hurricane. I assume animals aren´t moving around except to hide or run away from here." (Gargoile)
"That sounds like it. I didn´t see any animals around when I came here. I thought they were trying to stay as far as they could from here.Seems like it isn´t the case here. Is there anyway I could prepare for it." (hunter)
"Sadly no. I don´t have methods to find out what is going to happen. This is one reason I wanted to find out geography here. I´m sorry to bring it up again." (Gargoile)
"Don´t worry. This is imergency. My village is right next to cliff. I know what you are going to say. We have to live there because everywhere else there is danger of floods. We have tried to find solutions for preventing cave-ins. As for now no building is too close to it. That can´t last much longer." (hunter)
"Is village under or top of the cliff?" (Gargoile)
"In the top. Like I said. Everywhere else floods are as common as books here." (hunter)
"In that case no matter what disaster happens that cliff is dangerous place to stay. I would like to ask you to move but that isn´t possible. I would like to advice you to plant trees on top of it. That moght prevent cave-ins. You should keep everyone close to cliff away from it. At least a few days even after if something happens. Cliff might start to move later. That is all I can advice you. I´m sorry to be so little use to you." (Gargoile)

"Don´t be. You did everything you could and it isn´t like this is your fault." (hunter)
"I hope to see you week later as one piece." (Gargoile)
"Don´t say something so sinister." (hunter)
We had no idea what kind of situation we ended up with.

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

Seed of Magic: The Orange Academy
Living in the slums of a city that hangs on the edge of an abyss, Aidan thought he knew the track his life would take. Having no magic in his family for generations he expected to work in the abyss like his long dead parents. But on his last screening for magical powers before setting off for training he’s found to possess the abilities needed to be a Mage, the male counterpart part to Witches who fight the creatures of the abyss. As such he is sent to the Orange Academy to begin training. This is unusual, especially as his power is at a level that it should have been detected years before. There have been talks of magic changing and the amount of recently discovered Witches and Mages is concerning for all those who study such. For Aidan though, it’s a way out of a life he was trapped in. But as things get underway he realizes that his new life may be a different kind of trap. Updated Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Unlimited Evolution [New]
“If anything can go wrong, it’ll go wrong”—Alex found the truth of this quote the hard way when his Thursday evening was ruined by a blinding golden light. Thrown to war against his wishes, in a world that was not his own, he didn’t even survive the first day. But, death was not his sweet retreat. It was just the beginning. Reborn as an Imp in the hellscape of a dungeon, Alex’s life just got more complicated. In a place where you are food to other monsters and a lump of EXP to humans… survival was nothing but luxury. But Alex will survive. He will squeeze every last bit of potential from his [System] and work his way up the ladder of the food chain until he is strong enough to step out of his prison. The first step to such a lofty goal is to conquer the menace of goblins. Unlimited Evolution narrates the struggles of a young man from earth who gets the short end of the stick even in a different world. After a betrayal that resulted in his death, he wakes as a monster in a dungeon where even his fellow monsters saw him as nothing but food. The story will be a little slow-paced in the beginning and the battles will be calculated, brutal, and short. The litRPG element will be there and the system plays an important role in world-building. I'll try to explore each and every character I introduce as much as I can. Hopefully, I do a good job in that aspect. **I hope you enjoy this book of mine.**

Seclusion
I look at the mountain of paperwork before me. I'm overworked. Slowly, my eyes fall shut. I'm so tired of this... A loud 'bang' caused by dropping off another pile of paperwork made me bolt upright. My maid stands before, scorn in her eyes. Annoyed, I wave her away—this is not the first time that that has happened. And she is not the only one who does that. 'Hated by my own people,' I sigh internally and rub my temples. This is not what my 'freedom' was supposed to look like. My eyes hover over the ring on my finger. I tried, you know? Right now, I only want everything to stop. Maybe read some books, eat something delicious, and nap as often as I want to. Wait...I am the matriarch! Hell, I can do whatever I want! Books? I can pocket whole libraries in my domain. Food? Also, in my domain. Naps? Well, there are many cuddly nooks in there. Sooo...my domain has everything I need—dunno why I never thought of this before. All that's left is to relocate its entrance to another totally secret place. How about that hidden forest temple? Yes, let's go with this! Goodbye obligations, goodbye people who always want to take over, goodbye enemies, and at last, good riddance to the council that tries to marry me off to one of these fat ugly narcissistic nobles. Uhh, I just hope nothing will go wrong during my long-term absence. Nahhh, nothing will happen at all; I am totally sure of it...probably. ______ This is the rewrite of the old story: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/273362/seclusion-old-version--dropped/ Alternate Titel: I lived so long in seclusion that everybody forgot about me
