-TIMESKIP-
George had just finished driving around London showing Clay his favourite spots or features about London. It was about 10:20 pm when they decided to drive home. The two men pulled into the driveway of George's house and went inside. They didn't have much planned after, so George had just insisted on making dinner and watching TV and hanging out. George made dinner and they soon finished both their meals. "Mm George that was delicious! Your an awesome cook!!" Clay happily exclaimed. "Hah thanks Dream." George responded. His cheeks got flooded with a bright pink blush on either side. They both sat down on the couch scrolling through Twitter. "Hey Dream, wanna watch a movie again?" George asked. "Sure!" Dream answered. They turned on a movie and began to watch. They were both on opposite sides of the couch, far away, and George got a bit cold. "H-hey Dream..?" "Yes George?" He answered.
"Uhm.. can we- can we cuddle..?"
George's POV:
Shit George!! Great job!! Dreams probably creeped out by you!! You can't just ask that out of the blue! God I hate myself right now.
To George's surprise, Clay simply responded with "sure George, come here." George went over to cuddle with Clay, melting into the cuddle, the warmth of clays body filled George's soul with joy.
Clay's POV:
I can't hold back anymore. I need to tell him- I need to tell him my feelings for him.
"Uhh... Hey George..?" Dream asked.
"Yeah Dream?" George replied. "I- I have something I need to tell you." George got up from the cuddle to sit up. "What's up Dream? Is something wrong..?" George asked in a worried tone. "No not at all! I just.. I just have a- I guess- confession..? To make..?"

The two boys sat in silence for a bit. Until Clay added "George... please promise me you'll still be my friend when I say this?" "Of course! Dream I love you no matter what. Your my best friend..." 'yeah... just friends..' George thought. Clay simply nodded and smiled, He then added on "George I- I love you." "Dream.." George said. He got cut off by Clay "I'm sorry if this changes everything I just couldn't handle me having to hide it..."

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.)
