"Nexiara..."
:
"What?.."
:
"Yuzu.. we are at Nexiara.."
:
"It.. it looks exactly like ours... but a bit different? Why is everything on the ground"
:
" Nexiara is the complete opposite of Azumore, however yours is mirrored.."
:
"I see.."
:
"So, why did my portal bring us back here?"
:
"We are not supposed to be here.. it's dangerous."
:
"We've been here before, Xal was able to come in this world whenever and wherever he wants it."
:
"Who is xal.."
:
"He sounds like a mean guy.."
:
"Xal.. is a demon who lives in Seulgi.. she is the person you sold us out to."
:
"Oh. I—"
:
"I know you didnt mean it.."
:
"T-thanks.." she smiled
You're being too close to her Yuzu.
I.. I am just trying to—
You know she can still kill you.. so keep distance.
I know..
Trust no one Yuzu..
She clenched her fist as she stares across the horizon. She turned to watch Sana and the other Elites and that they seemed worried yet surprised, having a quick conversation about Nexiara. She breathed deeply.
:
Sana..
***
The gang began walking towards the front of the woods towards the city as the night falls.
:
"Well?.. we really are in Nexiara right?"
:
"Yeah.. and if the girls are with the others.. one place they'll find us is at Arcane."
:
"So.. We are going to Arcane right now?"
:
"That's where my portal is.. the last time i remember. and if Taehyung is a portal.. To who do you belong?"
:
"I— dont know.."
:
"I see."
:
"How bout we find a place to stay.. it's already dark, and I am sure the city is a few more blocks away"
:
"I guess that's smart enough." she then casted a small hut for the gang to stay

:
"Why cant we just fly? geeze.. you humans sure are stupid" she began jumping without thinking and her flight just dropped her down back to the floor.
:
"Yeah. You— don't belong here, and neither does the girls, your magic wont work in this world"
:
"WAIT! you mean i am stuck.. like this?!"
:
"Until we get out of this."
:
"But why do you have magic?!"
:
"Rose is a Demon, they bend the rules."
:
"That's unfair!"
:
"Well, isn't the king a demon too?" and the girls began to turn towards Yuzu.
:
"Me?"
:
"you...you can try?"
:
"You're a king? Wha—"
:
"I dont think so"
:
"Try Yuzu"
:
"Tsk." Jungkook began to walk behind him softly
:
"Competition?"
:
"Whatever. This is my world."
:
"Yet Sana, is still not in your grasp"
:
"She opened my portal"
:
"Just cause she is the key"
:
"Ugh! Shut up!" Jungkook smirked as he taunted his friend
Yuzu then began to cast a small magic spell, a light had lit up, but suddenly faded in mid air
:
"Nope. Can't cast it" The gang felt disappointed
:
"Hmm, well i guess the king is not in you huh."
:
"Guess not. Im sorry"
:
"It's okay.—here, let's stay in here just a bit." She casted a small cottage with a fireplace for everyone to rest cozy by the forest hilltop— where the city is seen on full view under the moonlight
Sana is found to wake up in the middle of the night as she sees someone outside of the window panes, staring up at the moon and onto the city.
:
"Taehyung?"
:
"Ah.. Sana— Can't sleep?"
:
"No.. not really"
:
"I see." He sighed
:
"You?" She walked closer to him and sat by his side onto the edge of the hill

:
"I can't either"
;
"I see" she breathed the cool air and sighed
"well..."
:
"You got something in mind?"
"Hmm.. When you said you were a portal, did you know Nexiara?"
:
"Not at all, this is my first time here. Thanks to you"
:
"Ah! Right.. that.. that k-ki—"
:
"You were my key Sana.."
:
"Ah."
:
"I don't know why or how, but you were. You unlocked me in this beautiful world that is mine to own." He smiled
:
"I dont understand how i became a key, or the other Elites"
:
"It's the way how it is Sana. You are a part of something bigger, and the six of you combined, must be a bigger piece than Nexiara will ever be.— I.. am just a piece of the puzzle" he smiled
:
"I see.."
:
"All i know, i am not supposed to be here, i am not supposed to exist."
:
"Dont say that?"
:
"It's true.. hence why meeting you, is such a gift and a curse" Sana sighed
"I— really did like you Sana."
:
"Why do you?"
:
"Something in my heart tells me.. and that something just beats for you and you alone. It's weird.. but i already knew, i was destined to meet you"
:
"Oh Tae.." He sighed as he gently placed his hand over Sana's with a gentle smile placed onto his face.
:
"Will you still remember me when im gone?" He smiled
:
"I—"
:
"It's not possible."
:
"What?"
:
"Cause when I am gone, I dont even exist.. it's not possible you would remember me even when i— myself, Don't even exist..—"
:
"Dont think that way, of course i would remember you"
:
"I hope. A nobody like me, is not worth being remembered at all— I don't even remember who i was.. and you seemed to know who i was right?"
:
"Taehyung.. you—"
:
"So you do know me.." Sana nodded hesitantly
"I can't believe i met you twice.."
:
"Yeah.."
:
"So Yuzu... you knew her?"
Just in the midst of their conversation, Yuzu unknowingly got out of the cabin without being noticed as she hid by the bushes— Eavesdropping
:
"So Yuzu... You knew her?"
:
"Y-yeah.."
:
"So.. i guess you knew us all didnt you."
:
"Mostly, but all, yes." Taehyung sighed and smiled as he looked calmly onto the dark velvet sky
:
"Say Sana.." Sana replied with a hum in question
"What was I like?"
:
"Huh?"
:
"When you met me.. what was I like?"
:
"Well.."
:
"Was I a bad man?" He smiled and Sana hesitantly nodded
"I see.. that explains why you act the way you do around me"
Sana couldnt say anything but she kept a smile on her face.
:
"What about Yuzu?"
Yuzu who was hidden by the bushes immediately kept her head up the moment she heard her name was called
:
So she does know you
Shut up.
:
"Yuzu.. is different."
:
"What do you mean.."
:
"She was my.." she sighed
"She means a lot to me, and i just hoped i gave so much just for her."
:
"What do you mean?"
:
What do you mean?
:
"Yuzu... she.." she paused and tear dropped onto her eye
"She was my Tzuyu."
:
"Heh. I knew this much.."
:
What!
So it's true?
No, I am not, I am Yuzu
But
I am not Tzuyu, I'll never be

The Badger Dungeon
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Dungeons. Everyone's heard of them. Sprawling maze-like places where you can find special objects that can't be found anywhere else in the world, train to become a great warrior or wizard, and slay dozens of monsters. Drops! Loot! Glory! What more could you want? Dungeons are places of danger and adventure, full of thrills and maybe even romance, where people enter as your normal and everyday person but leave as a hero. Even a child knows what a dungeon is! A dungeon is controlled and ruled over by its Dungeon Core, a mana crystal that's gained sentience, and with it a mind just as twisted as the home that it makes for itself. Dungeon Cores all have very simple wants and needs: to expand and to devour, and to that end, they'll do absolutely everything and anything within their power. Everyone knows that. Sometimes, though? Sometimes the Dungeon Core doesn't know that. Sometimes they wake up all alone, confused and with no clue what they should do, and find themselves quickly becoming the home to a family of badgers and other creatures. The Dungeon Core can be left struggling to figure out their role in the world and how exactly they're supposed to achieve it. They're really doing their best, and you shouldn't judge them for it! The badger thing was a complete mistake but there's just no way they can turn back and fix it so they're just trying to make do, okay?! What would you do in their situation?! Cover art was made with pixel assets from Szadi art and 0x72.

The world traveler from the future
The world, under the guide of the System, was prospering. The Dungeons gifted untold riches to those brave enough to challenge them, and the System watched and helped those who were willing to complete its Quests. But not Charles. As soon as he appeared inside a dark cave, the system told him that he was an anomaly, that he was not worthy of its gifts. His mind was damaged. His AI companion was convinced that he was in a world of sword and magic. All around, schemers and manipulators tried to play their part in a story that was thousands of years old. Spanning entire planes and worlds. And yet, he only saw what he wanted to see. For a while, it worked. Slowly, but inevitably, it became impossible. The threat was too big to ignore, the evidence too strong. He was just a pawn in a game so large that it was impossible to comprehend. At its center, the System. The System was not what it seemed. It was a tyrant, or maybe just a tool created by someone or something so powerful that it could control entire worlds. And it had declared him its enemy.
