《Enda (Boyxboy)》Chapter 30: Dat Elephant Doe :I
Advertisement
I lay on my side and gaze at Mynx staring at me hardcore. The mask still on his face. I sigh then lay on my back. Rubbing my tummy as it rumbles. Tracing the cave twists and turns on the ceiling. I'm not hungry but my body says otherwise. I shake my head. Blinking a few tears away.
"I'm not weak." I whisper.
"I'll go sleep over there near Ujik." Mynx says, getting up leaving me alone. I turn on my side away from the fire. Curling up into the fetal position. Eyes watering. I blink, hastily.
"I'm not weak." I grumble, weakly.
Then bury my face in the dirt. Tears wailing down my face. I cover my mouth, muffling my sobs. Wrapping my arms tightly around myself. Closing my eyes.
"I'm weak..."

"Canton?" Ujik sings, shaking my shoulder. I blink my eyes to look at him. Eyes feeling dry.
"What's up buttercup?" I ask. Ujik holds out a small jar to me.
"Eat." He commands, I shake my head quickly. Lying back down.
"I'm not hungry, Ujik." I mumble, a feeling of emptiness residing in me. I sigh, tiredly.
"Okay...ya'll want some cookies?" Luckie asks randomly. Thwack.
"You had cookies and you no share?!" Daegi scolds.
"Enough." Zi shouts, everyone is quiet. Eerily quiet. I sit up and look at the guys looking at me.
"What?"
"We need to talk." Zi announces, I chuckle shaking my head.
"No we don't." I hiss.
"You need to talk, Canton. We all can feel it. You're upset...."
"It's not important!"
"Then just tell us one thing, Canton. Why? Why are you upset? That commotion in Favera was your own doing! Take responsibility for your own actions, child!" Suzuki demands, angry. Eyes red. My eyes wander around the dead fire, frowning deeply.

"I-I'm mad at myself. I just thought that I could finally have the perfect family I've always wished for, you know? I'm mad at myself because I'm stupid. So...I don't deserve to eat. I'm...."
"Bull fucking shit, Canton. I don't know what kind of idiot says that kind of thing but your forgetting that you're supposed to be fighting to end a war and the littlest of things sets you off and you want to give up?! What kind of leader is that?! Huh?!" Dukem scolds me.
"I...I just want something stupid. I'll get over what I want and then focus on what Enda needs but I..I need some time." I say quietly, scratching at my arm.
"How much time?" Ujik asks.
"A few hours at the least." I admit, holding my head in my hands.
"Well you'll have a few hours as we get to the Earth City so let's get going." Suzuki commands, grumpy. I nod, Daegi and Ujik grab my arms and lift me up to my feet. My feet feeling like bricks.
"Let's go."

A Dungeon Core
So I died, and then I was allowed to live again. Apparantly though, gods don't really understand what 'live' means because I am now a crystal in a cave, A Dungeon Core. Whatever, I don't really mind. A Core is immortal, at least as long as it isn't killed- and that means I have an infinite amount of time to restore my old body. So I will dig in, build my defenses, and dedicate myself to recovering my body and giving it the power of the Core I have become. But it doesn't seem like I will be left alone by the world around me...
8 62Dreamers of Eternity - A Xuanhuan Webnovel
Tristan Ulrich is a peerless prodigy. All those that stand before him can do nothing but bask in his brilliance. However, he is of no interest to the Gods. Who, among the Gods, was not a peerless prodigy? But their eyes are peeled for one: Adrian, the Dreamer of Eternity. None dared to even dream of Perpetuity, let alone aspire for it. But he, alone, does. [Participating in the Writeathon] Average Length: 1.5 - 2.5k Words Disclaimer: MC will not cultivate at an absurd speed. It'll end up being Wuxia-esque for at least a hundred chapters before it turns into Xianxia / Xuanhuan. The end goal is immortality but it doesn't mean he has to get there quickly. The MC won't have any real plot armor or cheats that let him win effortlessly. Expect him to get thrown around or just barely win frequently. Yes, this is not a Wish Fulfillment / Power Fantasy so if you're looking for a story like that, this might not be your cup of tea.

8 198The World Below
A place of myth and mystery, the Below is spoken of by few with any real consideration, and fewer with any true belief. After all, a realm filled with magic and monstrosities beyond imagining would be ridiculous, especially existing beneath one's very feet. Someone would have found it by now, through science, even if rumor dictated that it was able to "choose" who entered it. More wishful magic nonsense. ...Right? Note: This is a story on dungeon exploration, not a dungeon core/sentient dungeon!
