-0-0-0-0-0- Port Laviet, The Phenoc Kingdom, Theona Two days after the Delve -0-0-0-0-0- Felin followed Layla and Teak into the Guildmaster's office. They'd fled that island with the wind behind them, returning as fast as possible to make their report. The Guildmaster was an older man, though that didn't mean he was weak. Betram Losat was the highest ranked adventurer on the east cost of the continent. It was a tragic story, really. The leadership of the Guild were intimidated by his rise through the…-

-0-0-0-0-0- Unnamed "Lost" Dungeon, Unnamed Island, Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- I was watching this battle a little anxiously. I literally threw almost a hundred monsters at this party, then with just a few potions they're recharged and ready for the boss fight. Is this the average skill level of adventurers in this world? Or, did they send a tougher group to test me? Again, my severe lack of information is really hurting, here. They do look far more cautious than before, but that could be anything. With…

-0-0-0-0-0- The "Lost" Dungeon, Unnamed Island, Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- Felin took point as the party entered the triangular passage, though it was a little tight for someone of his size. In his left hand, he held a newly-lit torch, illuminating the tunnel before him. Light from the flickering flames revealed the roughly-hewn walls of the tunnel, the black sand beneath their feet and the next dozen yards of the tunnel, before it curved off. He grunted and pushed forwards, the rest of the group…

-0-0-0-0-0- Unnamed Dungeon, Unnamed Island, Kalenic Ocean Five days after the Humans Left -0-0-0-0-0- I thought that shoving mana into random fish and letting them mutate on their own would give me inspiration for a new monster, or create a new monster wholesale. And I was right.~ With more than a hundred fish of various species packed into my second floor and each one saturated with mana, quite a few mutated some interesting abilities. Firstly, the humble Angelfish. A beautiful but aggressive…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Merchantman Ship -0-0-0-0-0- Captain Eli Hart took a deep breath. The remaining members of the shore party had gathered in the hold, around a circular table. Kailen had also been called to the meeting, to take down notes and offer his own observations. "Alright, let's begin." He started, getting the other men's attention. "I want to start with what we saw of the dungeon itself." "Fuck all." Garth spat. "We got one bloody room in, then those fucking crabs killed my friends!" Hart…

-0-0-0-0-0- Uncharted Island, Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- The ship took another hour to go from a sail on the horizon to a full, three-masted galleon rapidly approaching my little volcanic paradise. I directed Gull to spy on them. Unfortunately, the sailors didn't speak a lick of English, nor was it any language I recognized. It was more melodic and flowing than most languages from earth. The captain, now referred to as Captain, was evident, a man with a large-brimmed and feathered hat. He had a rapier at…

-0-0-0-0-0- Uncharted Island, Unknown Ocean, Unknown Time Morning of Day 6, Week 6 PC -0-0-0-0-0- Mana's effect on living organisms is fascinating. Once a monster gains its core, its bodily functions are almost entirely supported by the mana it intakes, with only a tiny amount of actual food required. It's been more than three weeks since I had made Bastian, and he had only deigned to eat from his feeding pool five times, and even then, only a single fish. I suspect most of his biology is made of mana…

-0-0-0-0-0- Uncharted Island, Unknown Ocean Night of Day 3, Week 3 Post-Corification -0-0-0-0-0- Leaving my core just inside the mouth of the cave was a terrible idea; I knew that. Observing the flowing mana in the skies around the island, I could see the natural rivers it had formed and the tributaries that fed into the stream that led to my core. More concerningly, the stream was growing. Some of the dungeon fiction I'd read had dungeons as nature's terraformers, passively healing the land.…

-0-0-0-0-0- Unknown Place, Unknown Time -0-0-0-0-0- As I drifted awake, it seemed fitting that the first thing I felt was a drifting sensation. It was like I was floating on a pool of water, being gently rocked back and forth. It was soothing. Relaxing. I decided to enjoy the sensation and stay in this half-awake state of being for as long as possible. Inevitably though, I became more and more aware of myself and my surroundings. At some point, something twitched in my mind. I should be in my bed; why…

I have grown up looking at my free spirited elder sister and my elder brother who was strong hearted and always knew what they wanted in their life.
