The sight of Narancia gasping and struggling made Latte's blood turn cold. Narancia points at the fallen bowl of soul on the floor. He tries to tell them about the enemy stand but couldn't speak a word. The others had their attention on Narancia. Mista tries to make him answer what is going on. Bruno caught on to Narancia's struggles. "I think he can't talk!"
"You can't talk?" Mista asks out loud as Narancia grabs the bottle from the ground. Latte follows what Narancia is pointing at. The bottle of wine made her pause. "Water? You want a sip of water?" Mista guesses. Blood spurts from Narancia's mouth as he uses a knife to cut his tongue. "His tongue...it's gone!" Mista looks inside his mouth. They panic to see Narancia couldn't breathe. Giorno rushes to his aid. He is able to save Narancia's life by piercing a pen in his throat. Latte let out a silent sigh of relief when hearing Narancia breathe from the pen tube.
It took a bit of time for Giorno to create a new tongue for Narancia. Once he got his tongue, Bruno begin to ask Narancia questions about the stand. "I...It came from the soup." He coughs out. Giorno tells him not to force himself to talk. The group is caught off-guard by Narancia's answer about the stand. "He was like a pebble!" He replies, "He was huge, and rain into the restaurant!" Latte blinks at his answer. This is extremely bizarre.
"Earlier you said the stand was in the soup. You're contradicting yourself."
"Did I say that?"
"So, it is this big?" Mista guesses the size to him but Narancia said no. He becomes a bit tired at Narancia's contradicting words after asking a few times. Latte looks at Narancia to see him struggling. Bruno and the others can't get a clear picture from Narancia's strange answers. "If it was huge and slow, why didn't we see it? Did you actually see a stand?" Mista moves close to his friend.

"Of course, I did...n-" Narancia winces as if he is in pain. "You are contradicting yourself again. You're not trying to act tough because the enemy got you, are you?" Mista spoke up. Naranica ignores Mista in which the gunner becomes angry. It is becoming a back and forth conversation between the two of them.
Latte decides to stop Mista by standing between him and Narancia. Her hands touching his chest to push him a couple steps back to give Narancia space. He stops when Latte gives him a firm stare. There is no use for this conversation to go any farther. Mista let out a huff then crosses his arms. "Fine fine..." He turns away from Latte to hide his pink cheeks from him.
She turns to Narancia then pat on his back - attempting to comfort him. He is grateful for Latte jumping in. Leone spoke up that there is no one suspicious nearby. He guess that it is the work of a remote-controlled stand. Giorno spoke up, "That means the user is watching us from somewhere." He suggests they should leave the place by boat. Quickly, Narancia stops him by grabbing his arm.
"Yeah, Giorno! Let's do it, let's use the channel!" Narancia covers his mouth instantly. Mista asks why he is covering his mouth. Bruno decides not to follow the channel to use it to defeat the enemy here. If they handle the boss' assassin here then they can leave to the sea of Venice safely. The other agree with the decision.
An idea pops up in her head. Pulling out her notepad and pen from her pants pocket, she holds it out to Narancia to use. "Huh, why he wants to use that?" Mista asks, "Latte, he is just contradicting everything." Latte shakes her head then motions Narancia to use it.
Latte pulls back, holding her right hand. Shock could be seen on her face. "OI! What was that for?!" Mista shouts at Narancia. He has his right arm around her shoulders to pull her back to him. Latte looks at the channel where her notepad is lost forever. "S-sorry! It was my fault!" Narancia sputter out.

"Sorry doesn't cut it-"
"Enough." Bruno's words stop them. He reminds them that they are facing an enemy stand, not the time to fight. Latte is glad Bruno is able to stop a potential fight. Mista huffs then let his arm rest at his side. Bruno tells Leone to use his stand on the bowl of soup to figure out their enemy. Approaching the table, Narancia stood in their way. "T-the enemy is right over there!" He shouts, pointing at the men's bathroom. Latte stood out the door as look out. Suddenly, Narancia rush inside to close the sink then blocks Leone in front of the toilet.
The men are caught off-guard by Narancia's strange behavior such as peeing in the toilet in front of them. They left Narancia and Giorno behind to search the table they were sitting at. Latte sighs as it will be difficult for her to communicate with them now since they don't know sign language. The only thing she can do is sit back and watch. Seeing Latte a bit dishearten, Bruno told Latte to stay back and guard Trish. She left the group and disappears in the turtle.
"Oh, you're here." Trish spoke up then saw Latte's frown. "What happened, did those men say something to you?" Her voice lace with a small threat. Latte quickly hold up her hands, waving no to her. She gestures writing on paper. Trish caught on to her gesture then looks for paper and pencil. Finding what Latte needed, Latte wrote down what happened including Narancia sending her notepad into the water channel. She could see Trish fuming in her seat. She motions her to relax then wrote to her that it is not his fault.
"Honestly, you are too forgiving..." Trish sighs, "If I was you, I would have him beg for forgiveness." Latte silently chuckles from her words. They enjoys each other's company as Trish shows her a few outfits from her magazines. Latte is glad that Trish thought of her option with a couple outfits from the pages. Time past by quickly when spending time with someone.
Bruno calls for Latte from outside to meet with them. Leaving the turtle, Latte faces Bruno to see Narancia standing meekly next to him. Quickly, Narancia bows his head with his hands clasp together. "I'm sorry, Latte! There is no way for me to apologize what I had done." He spoke out. Giorno decides to speak out, saying it was an enemy stand that made Narancia behave differently. Latte simply walks to Narancia then pat his shoulder, giving a look of understanding.
Narancia let out a sigh of relief, seeing that he is forgiven. "Latte!" He wraps his arms around the mute woman's waist. "Hey, that's enough." Mista interrupts them, pulling Narancia from Latte. He gestures to the boat, "We have no time to waste since there are enemies after us." The others agreed.
Before Latte could get on the boat, a hand on her shoulder stops her. She turns to see Mista looks away from her. In his hand is a leather covered notepad with a black pen. She took the notepad from his hand. "Here, I know its not good enough but its better than nothing r-right?" He stutters at the end of his sentence. Mista silently curses at his uncool side. He couldn't help it if his heart beats a bit faster when around the mute woman.
"Maybe if you have some free time...y-you can teach me those signs. You know for future missions and stuff like that!" Mista stutters again, his cheeks felt hot. Latte looks up at the flustered Mista then she writes on the paper. "Sure, I would love to teach you."
She saw Mista's expression lighten up from her answer. "Great." Mista spoke up. He mentally cheers for this victory. Leone calls out for them to hurry up. They quickly join the group to leave Venice by plane.

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks

The Rise Of Natria The Tyrant
The following is account given by a surviving battle soldier, Zinhestine Vazo.‘He was there. The cruelest of all in Europe, the spawn of devil, no, he is the devil himself, pleasuring himself from our pain; he watched us suffer and laughed with his fellow soldiers. He mocked us while we cried begging for death. No one is safe from him, not even women or children, the ice cold blue eyes show mercy to none. There is no way that he is a man, the true tyrant of Europe not even our Lord can match with him, he’s Natria the Tyrant.’ Zinhestine was later found dead in his cell. A note was recovered from his body.‘I know you guys are deporting me to Chemintz, I would rather die than go through that hell again. My death would be the final warning, please stop the war, other wise there would be no Germany in the map by tomorrow.’

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
