《Why Did I do This to Myself?!? (One Piece Fanfic)》Well... That Was Dumb

"I... I should of just tied them to a tree..." This was a mistake.
Maybe suspending them over boiling water was a poor decision. I mean they are like 10, and I'm threading to boil them alive... But they threatened Lad, well I guess Ace threatened Lad, but Sabo was a accomplice.
I'm just gonna untie- nevermind they both woke up.
Sabo was the first to fully regain consciousness, immediately releasing a high pitched scream upon taking in his surroundings. Which invertedly woke Ace up, who was mentally freaking out after realizing they were dangling over a calderon of boiling water.
"What the heck Ace?!? Why did you say yes???" Sabo screeched.
"I didn't know this would happen!" Ace replied trying to think of a way out.
"She gave us a psychotic look before knocking us out! She literally warned you before hand!!" Sabo stated freaking out, he started to struggle in his binds, trying to free himself.
Dew to it being sometime around midnight, Ace was having a hard time seeing everything outside the range of the fire boiling the water beneath them. Sensing eyes on him he looks over at who's been looking at him, tensing when he makes eye contact.
"I suggest you stop moving around so much." A familiar voice calls out, making Sabo stop struggling and also tenses up.
It be dead silent, only noise being the bubbling water and flicker of flames. Tension is high. When Jinx walked closer to the fire it becomes visible that they were tapping the tips of there fingers together.
Pressing her hands together she takes a deep breath. "This was a mistake..."
"Ya, No KIDDING!" Ace angrily says.
"Dude shut up! She's the only one that can get us down!!!" Sabo whisper shouts to Ace.

"And this is why top hat kid's my favorite, he uses his brain." Jinx's chuckle to herself.
"Fuck you!" Ace shouts.
"Sorry, we don't know each other enough for that." The masked child mused, trying to piss him off.
Ace then proceeds to scream in anger, thrashing in his bindings causing both of them to swing back and forth. Which started to make Sabo nashus.
"Bro, calm down! I was messing with you! If you thrash around like that the ropes gonna SNAP!!!" Jinx screeched.
Moving quickly Jinx's Grabbed some nearby planks and put it over the calderon. Getting on the boards, she grabbed hold of the rope and stopped them from swaying.
Sighing in relief said child reached down to there shoe and pulled out a thin knife. Slowly cutting them loose, making sure not to nick them.
Once loose Ace instantly attacked Jinx, knocking them both off the calderon and onto the dirt floor. Rolling around on the floor, Sabo stares blankly at them.
"I'm FRICKING armed and you attack me!? How stupid are you?!?" Jinx stated from the dust they'd kicked up.
"I'm gonna kick you ass!!" Ace retorted.
Sabo calmly got off the calderon, walked over to Lad (who was on a stump nearby) and sat next to them watching the cauose unfold.
A sharp intake of breath is herd, flowed by weasing. Calmly walking away, Jinx walked over to Sabo.
"You should probably help you buddy over there before he throws up. I've over used my welcome card so I'll be taking my leave, sorry for all the trouble." Sabo looking behind her seeing Ace groveling on the ground covering his groin, quickly walking over to help him.
Going over to my satchel, I pick it up, put Lad on top of it and slip the knife back into my shoe. Looking back over to Ace "dieing" on the ground, I see him giving me a death glare, flipping him off I grab my makeshift bundle of metal and walk away.

...
Well I'm lost, I didn't really pay attention to were I set this all up and it being night doesn't help either. To be honest I don't really know what just happened or how I set that hole thing up. I mainly remember getting pissed off, what's up with the blanking out all of a sudden? This is like the second time...
Jumping onto a tree I try and get a better view of my surroundings. It looks like I'm outside of the Goa kingdom, maybe somewhere closer to the mountains. This is a pain, I'm just gonna find a comfortable tree and sleep in it, screw the consequences!

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.)
