Alejandro
May 15th; Sun City
Hello everyone…I am Alejandro Sanchez…I am not going to describe my features because you already know me right…I am one of the protagonists and have appeared in every volume…well except for number 4 where I was in it for only a couple of lines but hey…it counts doesn’t it…anyway…this is a special guide for my training regiment as I aspired to become an Elite Root member like my Senpai Kasumi…so please enjoy…
(BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP)
Oh no…not again…I heard the sound of the alarm…I slowly opened my eyes and saw the alarm clock that said 4:30 am…Oh man…I’m so tired right now…my life has been a thrill ride in the past 5 months…but oh well…time to start my training regiment…
After I was reborn with the Yggdrasil seed, I decided to aim for a new goal in my life…become an Elite Root member like Kasumi Miyazono…that’s right…I am a member of Yggdrasil, an organization that protects the world from evil…but you already know about that right…
Now then…I wake up at 5:30 am, eat my breakfast, which is a protein shake, some scrambled eggs with bread on the side and some fruits…after that, I stretch to get my training started…When I go outside, I know it is still dark out there, so I always wear my jacket…I take a 10km run as a warm up…
I don’t get tired that easily anymore and it’s all thanks to the seed…the seed awakened my body and helped me increase my stamina and strength…
After my warm up…I go to the gym…and yes…I still go to the same gym that Jairo took me to begin my training…and yes…it’s a woman’s only gym…but I can’t dishonor my master right…but the owner created a special section for me and Carlos as a sign of respect for my late master…
I do my exercises like a boss and in case you don’t exercise, here is the basic division of days in case you ever want to start to work out:
Mondays- Back and Biceps
Tuesdays- Chest and Triceps
Wednesdays- Legs and Shoulders
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays- Repeat.
Sundays- Rest.
After I finished with my exercises I ran back to my apartment to get ready for school…As the class President…I must always be on time and that's 7:30…and as a normal student…I go to school until 4 pm…at my class activities there is the Student Council which is very boring and to be honest…I let my Vice President Victoria, to do the major work…and it’s not that I am a slacker…she really likes it, I swear…in fact, I am planning to resigned and let her be the president next school year because she does a great job…
Anyway, during my lunch break…I still train…and what do I train…my mind…by meditating…That’s right…meditation is essential when it comes to training the mind…I do it for 15 minutes a day…others take more time…but I believe it’s enough…during my meditation, I train to be more aware over my surroundings…and sense the mana around as well…it’s kinda like Uriel’s Rhythm sense…

After school…the fun begins…I go to the deserted areas near the “secret base” that Uriel and I created…in that area, I trained using my Esper Suit…sometimes I have Carlos or Chelsea helping me out…other times I have Kasumi-Senpai train me…although her training methods are super hard…
I trained my body and soul using the esper suit, and slowly, I began to perfect my techniques…and created new ones but those are a secret that you will see later on…anyway…I continue to train every day non-stop…maybe someday…
I can reach Saidai mode…you know…the powerful version of the esper suit that surpasses one’s limit…but I still have a long way to go…
Usually, as the sun goes down…my real training begins…it depends on who’s closest to what sector…but the main reason that Yggdrasil exists is to protect the innocent from evil spirits called “Sombras…” or “Kage” which is the Japanese version of it…
In case you forgot…Sombras or Shadows are beings that were once good spirits. In Mexico, we know them as "Alebrijes" ancient animal-like creatures who guide humans to "Mictlán- La Tierra de los Muertos" ( Land of the Dead) negative emotions at the moment of our deaths…
The Alebrijes or guardian spirits that are meant to guide us absorb the negative feelings causing them to change.In order for humans to enter the “Tierra de Muertos”, they have to get their negative emotions taken away from them by the Alebrijes. Unfortunately, the negative emotions have increased to the point that the Alebrijes turn rapidly into Sombras…
And that’s where I trained in hunting down the Sombras who attacked the people…Kasumi-Senpai decided to divide us from different sectors…I took the west side…Carlos the Northern side…Chelsea takes care of the East side…
We have Tiwa helping us in some of the sectors…and Uriel also takes care of some of the Sombras but usually…
Sombras usually show up at different times of the night. When it’s my turn, I can train at night and thanks to my meditation and mana control…I no longer feel tired with the lack of sleep so I can continue with my daily life…
In this world that I chose…protecting the innocent is important…and I will put my life on the line to save those in need…

Training to become strong…training to become stronger…training to protect those that I want to protect…those are the words I repeat myself everyday as I train to become just like my sister…Melissa…
I will not go into details about my life…that is something for another story…but I will tell you about my daily routine…and that’s because…I have to okay…not because I want to…
Okay…I wake up early everyday…about 5 am to start my day…I wake up and use the jump rope for 40 mins…
Jumping rope is the best option to gain speed and coordination for your information and it’s not that I am giving you advice or anything…but anyway…I always wake up my sisters at 6:30am, right after I take a bath and get ready for school…

After I wake up my sisters…I always go to the kitchen to help prepare breakfast…
Almost every time Ms. Maria is in the kitchen…she really loves to cook and I must say, her food is delicious…She has been teaching me how to cook…not that I am a bad cook or anything…it’s just that I want to be as good as her…and yes…knowing how to cook is also part of my training…
After we finish preparing breakfast…Ms. Maria always takes off to work…oh yeah…well…this is a secret but Ms. Maria is our language teacher…she likes to work teaching and helping students…and Daniel doesn’t like that…speaking of him…I always go and wake him up…because he is so lazy….
Anyway…back to our training story…after school, I stay in club activities…I really like track and volleyball…our team is pretty good…not to brag but I am the captain of the team…
Our school hours are from 8am-2pm and we practice from 2pm-4pm…after that we have the whole afternoon free…
I know that most of the girls like to go to the mall or to a friends house…and that’s okay for most of them…but not for me…and that is because I have the determination of being strong…enough to protect my sisters…
That’s why I go to the special training center located underground the ministry…that’s right…the Ministry has an underground training hall in which the Members of the Orders train…There Ms. Maria is in charge of training Mariana, Abril and Estrella ove basic mana control…and Sister Carolina trains me…she trains me in the art of the lance…
Our Holy lances are weapons that were created in various Churches across the world…mine was created in a small church located in mountains of Chihuahua in a small church known as Santa Ines…according to Sister Carolina…the lances are created by a special type of metal formed by minerals of the holiest places and they are given the names of the Church and so you already guessed…the lances of Sister Carolina and Ms. Maria were made in different churches…
To be honest…only a handful of members of the order are chosen to have a lance…only those who are deemed worthy are taken to the churches with secret locations and need to pass a trial to receive a lance…
My case is different…you see…this lance…belonged to Sister Melissa…I know that this may be a shock and you might think, “Hey…that wasn’t mentioned in the first volumes…” Well to be honest…I had so little screen time in the volumes…sheesh…but anyway…the day after she was taken…I had a dream in which the lance was in my hand…and when I woke up…the lance was there…The lance chose me to be its next wielder…and with that…the Order accepted me as a member…but I will tell you that another time as well…
I want to train my skills in handling the lance…that way, I won’t feel as useless as I did when the Chupacabras attacked…you remember that incident right? The one where that pervert Alejandro and the brave Uriel saved me from that monster…I still feel that I owe them but oh well…I guess another time…
I want to train my lance to get a special feature…I heard that there is a sister in the capital that can split her lance into multiple parts…also that there another one that can reshape the lance as a sword, there is one who can do a shield…Sister Carolina can release water from hers and Ms. Maria can use her wind…I wonder what kind of element will I have?
Oh well…I must keep training…and for that, I must practice with moving target spheres that Daniel was kind enough to give to me…I don’t know how he does it but he often creates such strange things but they are useful…speaking of which…I wonder what he does…everyday I see him go to the hills in the afternoon…as the sun is setting…
On that day…I decided to stop my training earlier and see where he was…and it’s not like I’m worried or anything…I’m just curious…So I decided to walk down the hills to look for him…
After a long walk of 10 minutes, I was starting to get desperate because I didn’t see him...suddenly…there was a huge explosion…I panicked…as I saw a pillar of crimson mana…I was so scared but I wanted to know what was going on…
I walked slowly towards the hill and that’s when I saw him…Daniel was there…he was covered in sweat and he was shirtless…to be honest…he was pretty muscular…he was breathing heavily as he cleaned the sweat from his forehead…it looks like he was really doing some exercises…there was a giant hole in the hill….oh wow…did he really do that? Amazing…
I decided to retrieve…and that day, I was impressed…someone as lazy as him was training hard… then I need to train harder and beat him…because, I see him as a rival…
I decided to continue with my training…because I want to be stronger…and I know that I sound like a broken record…but let me ask you…
If you ever lost someone precious…would you train to become stronger? Of course you would…that’s why I decided to continue with my lance training until I can perfect that ability…
Everyone will see that I have more right to be in the main storyline right?
The End…

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
