I'm sorry it had to end like this.
My heart
My soul
My body
My mind
All of them
Are
Disappearing
To a
Nonexistent
Dark
Abyss
Red leaves? Black trees.
Beauty?
Who knows.
NO STOP GET AWAY FROM HIM
HEY MOVE IT
OH MY GOD
ARE YOU OKAY
Please answer me
I can't lose you again
The vivid noises.
It's so loud in silence
HEY ARE YOU LISTENING
GET UP BASTARD
your going to be okay
Hey can you hear me
I didn't mean to...
Wake up
Please
Please
Don't leave me
Be
Please
Please
Please—
It's not true
Is this how it ends?
Maybe
Am I forgotten?
I can't see anything
Edd?
Matt
They aren't here... nobody is here.. to help you.
Call all you want they won't respond.
It's just you and me.
Remember it's only the truth here.
The real hell is inside your head.
Hey don't give up on me now.
It's only just begun.
What's wrong wake up!!
YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!
Don't forget you only had one chance.
You blew it, well more like I blew it.
Goodbye for now.
Things don't always end up how you want it to.
Shhhh- don't talk.
I see you're crying.
Hush it'll be over soon.
Just accept the demons in your head.
And let your hell go to peace.
Is that so?
I walked through the forest I called home. Of course the eyes were there they always are! I looked to the side it's as if I'm always being watched but then again I am. The judges see all, with their watching eyes. I want to see him may I?
Oh you're asking me now?
Only because you're being good.
Go find Tom I won't interfere beware it won't be the same.
I ignored the last statement and felt the joy, excitement the rush of insanity leave my body. I fell to the ground shrieking in pain as the heavy weight on my head got heavier and heavier until it stopped. I was left gasping for air in a sticky scarlet substance.
How disgusting in laying in someone's blood! I look to see who it is, is that Edd? I rubbed my eyes and took another look. No it's just the first one I killed Josh or whoever. I tried getting up but my legs gave off. Ugh I leaned on a tree rubbing my head.
Let's go, come on me. I encouraged myself and it seemed to work. My adrenaline kicked in, I'm gonna see him! I'm going to see my beloved! The rush, the feeling had me running no sprinting out of the forest and into the road.
Is Tom even worried about me? Of course he is, he was just telling me to kill those people for him! I ran through the streets until I found a familiar alley way. I was panting and my chest was screaming. I needed air I couldn't believe I ran 2 miles in 7 minutes! Is that even possible?
Of course it is I just did it! It's an honor to be Toms executioner I cant wait to tell him how many I slaughtered for him! I sat down in the alley way and watched a rat run by. Should I kill it? I could paint another triangular eye. No let's let it live I can't be all dirty for my tommy right?
A girl walked into the alley way and screamed looking at me with wide-eyed. What's wrong with her? She yelled something and I assumed it was asking if I was okay, why would she a—- RIGHT my clothes are stained with blood. Hm maybe if I tell her no she could bring me to a hospital and maybe Tom, Edd and Matt will find out and visit me!

Then I can tell Tom how proud he should be! "n-no h-help" I muttered. I was about to smirk until she looked at me hesitantly and picked me up. I got a closer look at her face wait is that Tom? She yelled to a few other girls one in green, one in purple and another in red. This reminds me of my friends!
Why does she look so much like Tom? Is she Tom? Wait why does that red girl look like me. I'm too tired to question anything.
I thought you were going to find TOM not THEM!
You know them?
NO.
Oh but they might know him!
Absolutely not you're going to pay.
Please no—-
My thoughts were interrupted by a painful sensation in my head. I felt a sticky substance rise up my throat. I tried choking it back and the girl holding me was panicking as I coughed up a black liquid. I've never done anything like this what's happening. I saw dots in the corners of my eyes as they grew larger and larger and then suddenly I was back in the black abyss.
The only color seen are the red leaves on the black trees.
(Bad picture but I tried to make it as non realistic as possible and more hallucination like)
Stop lying.
I really didn't— you can read my thoughts!
No
Not
You
Him
Her
Him
She
He
They
What are you smoking—-
I woke up in a white building. I felt dizzy but I realized where I was and looked up as fast as possible. Nobody... there's no one here... ha.
That's so funnnyyy nobody is here! Wow to think I put my hopes u— suddenly the girls from yesterday walked into the room.
"Hey h——" I can't understand ANYTHING they're saying but the one girl in green was shaking me "HHHAHHSDHDHFIEDN STOTOTOTOTPTP SOTOFI" I couldn't say stop wow. She looked at me and raised a brow. I looked at her in embarrassment and she let go the girl started talking it reminded me of my sophomore year where I was actually popular and girls wanted to date me.
It was when Tom and I were the closest but then. Junior year happened and it all went downhill I can't remember why. All I remember is this symbol that has some sort of horns and reminds me of violence and sadness.
"~~~~Tom!~~~~" the one girl in purple yelled. I turned my head directly to her in the blink of an eye. They all looked at me "Do you know who Tom is?" I can hear them clearly. The red one has a Norwegian accent, the blue one a heavy British one and the other two I assume they don't have any accents like Edd and Matt. "Tom you know him? Where is he I was trying to find him! Why do you look like him and why does she look like me?" I asked maybe too many questions at once. "First of all I have no fucking idea why we look like them we met them three days ago, yes we know Tom. We can take you to him and that's Tori." The girl in blue said so the one in red is Tori? "Weird my name is Tord." She raised a brow and said "looks like we found your doppelganger." I shrugged it off.
Tori doesn't have a bandage over her eye though. She doesn't have any of my scars. There goes one of my theory's. "So let's go? We can sneak you outta the hospital." I nodded my head and followed them. We got chased by a few doctors and I died of laughter. I had a few conversations with Tori and she is relatable! Probably because she's literally me in a way but yeah.

My legs gave up on me and I had to be carried by Tori. Am I really that pathetic where I have to be carried by girls? I recognize these streets were almost here! I giggle in excitement an Tori looks at me weird but concentrates on running. They ring the doorbell. How will they react? I've been missing for a year maybe two.. I can't remember.
I suddenly got nervous and started shaking. Tori per my hair in a way to comfort me. "Tom get the door!" Edd shouted so loud we could hear him from outside. The door flies open "What now fucking Jami— HOLY SHIT IS THAT TORD?" He pulled me away from Tori. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ITS BEEN 2 YEARS YOUVE BEEN MISSING!" I chuckled a little bit and he had tears in his eyes. Edd walked over sleepy and bags over his eyes. He rubbed his eyes "what's all the rucku—- oh my god MATT!" Edd called for Matt and he came running down "this better be good I was doing my daily beauty yog—- oh hey Todd." Tom looked at Matt with an Is-that-all? Face. I laughed a bit "yeah sorry I went missing kinda got kidnapped by your crazy ass ex and wait— Tom can I talk to you in private." He nodded "You guys wanna come in we might need some info on where he's been the isolation could have made his condition worse." They raised a brow and nodded. Well besides Matilda she can't raise a brow but she tried pffft.
We all stepped in and everyone sat in the couch. Tom carried me to his room. "So what's up?" I felt excitement rise up my spine I can't wait to hear what he says! "Tom I did what you asked me to!" I chuckled he tilted his head. "What do you mean?" I frowned "In the forest remember? You told me to kill that guy and those other people too!" His face turned form confusion to pure despair and fear. His eyes became cold as he looked at me and I shivered.
"Commie tell me you're fucking joking what are you talking about." I stated stuttering in fear "y-you a-asked me t-too, oh r-right and t-this!" I moved my hair a bit and showed the triangular eye I carved in the forest. He looked at me with pure white eyes and rushed me downstairs. "EDD, MATT WE HAVE A PROBLEM!"
We hard sirens outside they must have seen Tori carrying me! I felt numb and all the emotions in my eyes faded. I got out of Toms arms as he screamed for me to come back. He told everyone to stay away as I grabbed my switchblade and faced the door my eyes clouded with bloodlust.
Gotcha let's do this.
Put on a good show and I'll reward you.
Now let's go.
I was breathing faster and faster as the pleasure and excitement took over. "HANDS UP!" I didn't notice the police kicking down the door. I smiled and laughed. "What noooosodoif he told me to kill the people I did it!" I laughed tears forming in my eyes. "COME ON CANT YOU HEAR IT? The constant ringing in my ears and the painful screaming of the people I killed for him? Oh, how their bodies flailed and them defying death. I painted it red!" I looked down "it never worked though.. it never could no matter what I did the agonizing pain never stopped but isn't it lovely how the world works!" I slowly pulled my other bandage off exposing my other eye. Emotion faded.
My mind screaming
My heart pumping
My soul begging
My body ruined
Its time.
I laughed a bit and walked over to the policeman slowly. He motioned for them to step back. "Come with us willingly and we won't give you a death penalty, you can't kill us all you won't win this and I'm sure HE won't be happy." Those last words struck me. The black liquid trickled out my eyes into my cheeks down to my chin and into the floor.
Hey what's wrong?
Come on he'll be happy!
Stay positive!!
WAIT NO STOP.
I grabbed the knife and looked at it. The liquid was clouding my ambition to kill and please my dearest. The urge for violence. Killing other was enough and now it's time for the big finish. My last victim, myself. "sorry I was such a failure I didn't want to come back I wanted to die in that hill right?" I said as if it were a question.
"GOGOGO" they rushed me trying to get the knife but before they could get close I did it. I finally ended it. I felt the screaming of my inner demons as the red liquid splattered all over the floor, is this my release? Tom ran over to me holding me and trying to stop the blood. "Stop, thiiiss is the end, donnntt try." I looked at him.
He was crying as well as the others. They all looked at me in pure shock of what I did. The police just stopped in their tracks and called the ambulance. No not today I weakly grabbed my knife out my chest and stabbed myself again. Laughing as I did it over and over again. Until I made my final breath.
"Sorry Tom I'll meet you in the other side, I finally made peace with my hell inside my head." I reached the black abyss with the white figure. He looked different smaller and holding a blue balloon. Guess this is the end.
He faded and the trees became white with yellow leaves. I walked forward and saw my mother. "Come on let's go." I grabbed her hand and embraced her and then walked into the blue light.
Spread your wing and forgot your past, there's
No pain here.
I spend my days watching Tom, he hasn't been himself lately cutting, drinking talking to
Himself. He doesn't come out his room anymore either... He talks about him wanting to join me but he doesn't want to leave Edd and Matt.
I smile at the thought of me and him being together in the afterlife but I'd never want that. I play with a glowing yellow circle above my head and watch Tom, Edd and Matt. They all hugged each other and I tried hugging too. They looked around as if they felt me and just cried hugging each other and telling themselves I wouldn't want them sad.

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.)
