Nick's pov
As I was down, I saw Jed. He was laying in the bed straight, with his hands on his forehead looking at the ceiling. ''oh ceiling, oh ceiling. You are so beautiful that I wish I could kiss you, but I can't. So, I'll just stare at you and hope that you can sense my love'', I said as I gave ridiculous movements.
It looked like it caught his attention as he was now standing in front of the bars and giving me a stare.
''what? You were looking at it like it was something you wanted'', I said as I laughed.
''ha ha funny, you idiot'', he answered back. ''so, you're yourself now?''. He sighed ''yeah I am and I'm sorry Nick. I'm really sorry. Are you good?''. I looked at him giving him a reassuring look ''I'm good Jed. Don't worry. You weren't yourself man''.
He looked down at the floor, with a sadden face. I came closer to the bars and gave him a pat on the shoulder ''it's okay Jed. I'm fine. Look if I wasn't fine I couldn't have done this'', I said as I twisted a little on the bars.
It caught his attention. ''see. So, we cool Jeddie''. He scoffed ''man don't call me that. You know I hate it''. ''and that's why I call you that'', I said as I gave him thumbs up.
''soo I gotta ask do you know how you got that herb or something? To make you get controlled by him?''. He looked at me ''no sorry Nick''. I smiled ''it's okay Jed''.
He then began to smirk, and his eyes widened. ''what?'', I asked. ''you and Mikaelson?''. I smiled as he said that, and he noticed. ''ohhh, I was right. That smile on your face tells me everything I need to know''.

I just rolled my eyes. ''yeah me and Hope are kind of a thing''. ''do tell me more Nicholas''. I laughed ''well, I gave her my letter. You know the letter I told you about. It turns out Lizzie took it from the trash and held it. Then she gave it to me at the party yesterday. After that me and Hope went further to the woods to talk. I gave her the letter, but instead of she just reading it in quiet. I had memorized it without knowing it. So, when she opened it I began to speak as what was in the letter. After I finished she didn't say anything so, I thought that was it. I began to walk away, but then she called my name, and I turned around. She was walking towards me and before I knew it I felt two lips on me. Let me tell you man, I have never kissed someone with so much passion as I did with Hope. Then we got interrupted by the fight, then the rest you know. So, when you got thrown in the cellar. We and the squad plus dr S talked. I also told Hope I loved her, and she reciprocated those feelings too. So, she also told me she loved me. Then I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes''.
3rd pov
Jed looked at Nick with an shocked expression. ''wow man. That, that was a lot''. ''yep I know'', the hybrid boy replied. ''but I'm happy for you Nick''. Nick smiled and replied with ''yeah me too, me too''.
''oh, I almost forgot. Alyssa was going to check up on you, but she went back up. However, she wanted me to say to you that she hoped you were better''. Jed looked at his friend with almost light in his eyes ''she did?''. ''yeah''.

Nick looked at Jed as he began to smile like a child and that's when he knew that he apparently wasn't over the witch. ''really man. You aren't over her?'', he asked him. Jed looked at him ''i-I am. Am not entirely over her''.
Before any of them could speak. They heard footsteps coming down from the stairs.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
