《Long Way from Home | A Daredevil Fanfiction》Chapter 10

Matt's POV
I stumble into my apartment, still drunk from the night at Josie's.
I walk into the kitchen and open up my refrigerator to grab out a bottle of whiskey.
Ever since Frank left, my refrigerator has still been filled with the things he bought from that day.
I open the bottle before taking a big swig of the drink, the substance burning the back of my throat.
'Hold onto them. Use two hands and never let go.'
That same sentence repeating in my mind over and over again.
'But what if letting go is the right thing to do?'
Ever since I was a little kid, I was told to not get close with people, but for some reason I couldn't do it and with Frank, the feeling of solitude faded away.
I walk over to the window as I hear the pitter patter of the rain against the glass. I sit down on the window seal and lean my head up against the glass. The Thunder roared as the rain became heavier. A large crack echoed throughout my apartment as the lighting returned the Thunder's call.
'I should've known that it wasn't going to work out from the beginning.' I think, allowing myself to get lost in my own thoughts.
'How could I be so stupid? I let myself get wrapped up into a something that never even existed in the first place.'
I reeked of whiskey and sweat, but at this point I didn't care.
I let my mind wonder and with each minute I found myself slipping into a deep sleep.
-
I wake up to the sound of knocking at my door. I sit up, feeling around the area and to my surprise I was in my own room.
'How did I get in here?' I think to myself as I slowly make my way out of bed.

"I'm coming," I mumble under breath as I rub my eye, the knocking becoming louder.
I rush out of my room and to the door to go open it.
"Hey," I say answering the door.
"Hi are you Matthew Murdock?" The man asks.
"Yes I am, how may I help you?"
"These flowers are for you." he says handing me the bouquet of flowers.
"T-Thank you. Do you know who there from?"
"They asked to keep themselves anonymous. There's a card attached though, maybe that could give you some type of hint."
"Thank you again sir, have a nice day."
"You too." He answered walking away.
I closed the door behind him and pulled out the card. It was small and made out of metal. I feel around the card, translating the braille into words
'Meet me at 49th and 12th on the top of Josie's Bar. Be there 12:00am sharp and don't be late.'

Yagacore: The Dungeon that Walks Like a Man
The Dungeon System is breaking. Now the mutant cores will rise. Zaria was just a normal woman, living a simple life, right up until demons burst down her door and ate her heart. Normally that would be the end of the story, but Zaria was reborn as a dungeon core. Except nothing is normal for her. Due to instability throughout the universe, Dungeon Core generation is experiencing some unique bugs and glitches. Most of these mutant cores just explode after only a few hours of life. Zaria is one of those cores. Luckily for her, there’s a way to prevent her detonation - she must find and form a bond with a human witch to create a striga. Only then will she be stable enough to survive. Normally, this would be a death sentence anyway, but Zaria’s mutation gives her an ability no other dungeon core has had before: Legs. Now a walking house, Zaria sets off to find her striga, fight demons and monsters, build up a dungeon worthy of being run by the greatest heroes in the lands…and feed the insatiable appetite of her mimic mobs. Life sure isn’t simple anymore.From the author of Dinosaur Dungeon, Factory of the Gods, and others! Plus part of the same universe as those books as well as Roots and Steel and Block Dungeon!

Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
