《Lost (bakudeku)》1: lost

Heavy rain hitting the bus. A sweeping sensation under the bus. All of A-1 UA students hurling though windows of the bus, being catapulted out down to the Clift. Mayhem. '
Bakugo awoke in shock, his shoulder popped out of socket. He screamed in pain, but managed to hold it back behind his teeth. He felt dazzled and confused, wondering exactly what happened. He cracked his neck, feeling a little blood running down his hairline. He sighed, looked to his right, then his left where he seen Deku sprawled out on his stomach. In shock, he quickly turned him over to find him covered in blood, muddy and his right leg broken.
"Damn it Deku! You break your leg all the time using your quirk, but you can't survive a fall like this? Tch, pathetic." Bakugo griped.
He realized that Deku was unconscious at that moment. He poked, slapped and pinched him. Worried about the elements and the pouring rain, he decided to hoist Deku on his back and find a place to rest up for the night. The darkness was hard to navigate through, and his legs began to get tired. Hours of walkin g and no sign of a place to find shelter, until he seen a hollowed out cave.
The water rushed paused and over the edge, and realized they would be nice and dry after a while. He set Deku down and started preparing a fire from the tree branches already provided by the elements in the cave. It didn't go too far back, but it was better than nothing. Once a fire was started he realized he needed to make a split for Deku's leg. Fashioning a split out of two study branches and shoe string, it was better than nothing. When he got a moment to sit back, he stared at Deku's face blankly in thought.

"Deku, you better not be seriously hurt. I can't keep luging your body around, not with my shoulder the way it is." He thought. He knew that he had to be mindful of the elements, and what might be lurking far beyond what he could see from the cave. Another thing on his mind was worrying about the others, and where they were, and if any of them were seriously hurt or killed. This chilled Bakugo, and he took sight at Deku again, upset that he had death ears to complain to.
"Deku, can you wake up, this is getting pretty boring." Bakugo snapped.
Nothing.
An hour passed and the thunderstorm didn't subside. He lifted his hand to feel Deku's tempature, and regardless of being next too the fire, he was cold to the touch. He quickly set Deku on his back and space out, not sure how to warm him up. His clothes were damp and his hair was soggy with mud. He used slightly radiating heat from his palms to heat Deku up from head to toe. To not overheat him, this took a while, but finally his clothes were dry and Deku wasn't at risk for hypothermia. With a loud sigh, he leaned against the cave wall, debating if infact Deku would ever wake up.

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.)
