《The Tale of A Fortunate Slave》Arrival
Advertisement
Thee months after the Treaty of Moonborn and one week after arriving on the continent of Deamonia.
Ash was sitting in a carriage across from the Queen of Daemonia, Orlia Dareheart. Why? Because the Queen decided to bring her - an orphan slave - along for the ride, the reason of which she did not know. She stared out the window of the carriage just taking in the view of hilly farms and forests.
The city of Dorin the capital of the Queendom of Daemonia came into view, the night lights of the city showed much. Lit farm land and dark forests all around the city. It was an astonishing view. Her jaw dropped and the Queen, looking up from the book she was reading only to see the child stare out the window with the kind of stare that only an excited and somewhat nervous child could replicate, laughed. "Are you excited?" The Queen asked. One or two dozen nods in rapid succession confirmed her question.
Ash hadn't spoken much during the trip, she had used S.I.S.L (Simple International Sign Language). This was mostly done because she didn't quite trust any one yet, except for the Queen who she only spoke to when signs and dirt drawings didn't quite get the point across. Most world leaders learned S.I.S.L as part of their curriculum in order to prevent secret messages and declaration of war, yes that did happen at some point in the distant past it's a long story. The reason why this is is because everyone wanted to prevent thing like the previously mentioned war. And S.I.S.L was also part of most basic education though most forgot how to use it by the time they graduate.
But enough of that we need to get back to the main story.

They were just a few meters past the gates. The not so small convoy was passing a couple thousand people of varying races, such as Orcs, Elves, Humans, Kitsune, Inu, and Nekomata, all of whom were celebrating the arrival of their Queen and the victory over the now Lesser Kingdom of Albert. Flags of varying colors and shapes were strewn from the roofs of buildings to the other side of the street. Ash of course hid from the people so as to not be seen by the many strangers, most of whom she did not know the race of and you can't blame her, shes not the most educated person out there. She is quite shy in the way someone that has had a been through hell and back would be. Well slavery and back at the very least.
Suddenly there was a loud noise that had made her retreat even further into her little corner. Orlia saw this and said. "It's just a firework, nothing to be scared about." She had said it in such a comforting tone that made Ash stick her head out a little bit more. Ash had signed. The Queen couldn't help but laugh. "If you look out the window you would see why." The Queen stated. When she actually did look out the window (while remaining hidden) her eyes shone with awe.

8 146Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
