[BT] What A Big Mouth You Have - Chapter 15

Whether still being able to feel the humidity was good or not, I soon found the source. That water I was looking for? It arrived in the form of a small waterfall coming out of the ceiling and creating a small flow down the middle of the tunnel. 2024-03-30 06:20:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Sixteenth floor spending limit set to 91,560 [Previous floor’s limit(81,480) + Intelligence(84) * 120]

[D'sP] They Have Parchment - Chapter 357

Doyle thinks for a moment, then nods, ‘The flat increase to what it takes to make the next floor is a bit strange. I figured with the fact there are dungeons with very few floors, just as there are dungeons with a ton of floors, it would be more...

[NR] What Is Left Behind - Chapter 585

Jason took a moment to read the note left by Rosha and Courtney.

[Heyo!

Sorry, not sorry to hear about your death! Congratulations on joining the rest of us. Well, I assume Courtney has died at some point. She’s nodding right now so ...

[NR] One Sausage - Chapter 584

Jason stretches one last time, having just gotten all the kinks out of his muscles, and settles down in the middle of the living room. This was going to be his longest out of the capsule since he was maybe 13? The government was a little picky abo...

[D'sP] Fluid Instancing - Chapter 356

Doyle sighs, ‘Whoever developed the system, at least going by what I have experienced so far, feel like the type to look down from on high and judge things by the greater good without caring what it takes to get there.’

Ally shrugs, ‘A...

[NR] Blame It On The Deep Wilds - Chapter 583

Jason sighed, it wasn’t like he could somehow divine what was actually going on with the System. Most times and for most people, there wouldn’t be a single error their whole lives and so many consider it rare. However, after more than a few fi...

[NR] The Result - Chapter 582

While haste makes waste, Jason was certainly on a timer. His body was cooling off supernaturally fast, likely because of his void body and the sudden expulsion of so much energy in the form of those Energy lines. Though if anything, that might hel...

[D'sP] Limited Paths - Chapter 355

Ally looks to the side, ‘The uh, the monsters certainly help as well.’

Doyle pauses, having just been considering what a high level table would actually be like. ‘The what?’

Ally nods, ‘The monsters. Like, they’re out there...

[D'sP] Losing Patterns - Chapter 354

Ally shrugs, ‘If I had to guess, the system decided your understanding of “rooms” has shifted far enough away from being a pattern that it doesn’t count. While the system keeps skills and paths intact, it likes to prune patterns when peopl...

[NR] Positive Pressure - Chapter 581

As for what the alarm ritual provided? The ability to make the Energy draw worthwhile. The light ritual could only hand a single Energy, while the alarm could manage ten. A little magnitude of difference.

There was one minor problem. Since t...

[NR] No Water Feature - Chapter 580

However, no matter how chaotic the Deep Wilds can be, it is still a place entire civilizations can live. So, not every moment is fraught with life-threatening danger. While changes like the local area had just gone through do cause chaos, the nati...

[D'sP] All The Patterns - Chapter 353

Doyle slowly came to as his mind once again settled down. While he hadn’t been able to observe, the scene created by his sea of consciousness was astounding. As if the world has reverted to some primordial pre-world space from mythology. A time ...

[NR] It Shouldn't Do That - Chapter 579

First order of business for the trio, what should Rosha and Courtney be looking for to improve the clearing? Since the majority of adventuring would be done by them, they’re the ones that need to know. Not that Jason knows exactly what they need...

[NR] Falling Out Of A Tree - Chapter 578

The trio eventually get out of the man’s office and are able to go do a little shopping. At this point, they would normally split up. Though, because of the boisterous crowds, they decide to stick together as a group.

Not that there was mu...

[Closed] Deciding the Short Story Prompt for March 2024

Below are the full prompts as the poll doesn't allow the full text. In the case of ties the first option that got there wins. The short story will be finished by the end of the month.

Of note, there was only one suggestion and it was simply ...

[D'sP] Expensive Beads - Chapter 352

Luck, however, would not remain on their side for too long. Though them beating the 14th had nothing to do with luck. Any sort of hidden information trick where said information doesn’t keep changing will be found out, just as with the 12th floo...

[D'sP] Volcanic Island - Chapter 351

Doyle focused on the lone triangle of who he was in the middle of an ocean of instincts that not even a normal dungeon would connect with. Each dungeon core was like an island within this ocean, only taking on a small part of the ocean’s bounty....

[Closed] Collecting Short Story Prompts for March 2024

Once again I'm here to ask all of you for short story prompts! I'll take the more popular ones as decided by the number of hearts (or that I particularly like) in the comments and make a poll at the start of the month. The winner will be made into...

[Archived Short Story] Getting Into God School

Zare sat in what some of his followers would call the lotus position. That wasn’t the original name for it, but over the eras, various old souls had done as they always do and polluted the local language with words from their old lives. Zare had...

[BT] Yes Bugs, But Not Those Bugs - Chapter 14

I can’t help but sigh and shake my head as I look back on this. Why did I think being on top of something would hide me from ants? Sure, they were pretty big, but why would that stop them from climbing the wall? They’ve already broken the cube...

[NR] Head Go Squish - Chapter 577

The man shrugs, “One can assume such failures have happened. Though kingdoms tend to keep such things quiet.”

Rosha, “Wouldn’t it be hard with travellers and what not?”

The man smiles, “Well, it will be now. You all are new...

[NR] Fully Dead Stuff - Chapter 576

Jason crosses his arms, “I prefer the giant beasts.”

Rosha raises an eyebrow, “Why? For some reason, I doubt you can take one of them down yet, no matter their level.”

The man nods, “The beasts don’t actually have that high...

[D'sP] Finding Instincts - Chapter 350

Satisfied with his design, Doyle sat back and waited. While compared to his points outlay across all his floors, nearly 75k isn’t really all that much. He doesn’t actually have that much world energy lying around.

If he had to compare it...

[NR] Impossible To Tell - Chapter 575

Whatever the case may be, Jason and friends manage to work their way through the crowd of celebrating locals. And thankfully, the guy they had been dealing with in the settlement wasn’t out celebrating as well. In fact, it looked like he was jus...

[NR] That Sort Of Guy - Chapter 574

The man, with his hands on his waist, throws his head back and lets out a full bellied laugh.

Jason, Rosha, and Courtney fall back a few steps and group up.

With a shake of his head, the man sighs, “Been hunting these beasts for a we...

[D'sP] Finishing Fifteen - Chapter 349

So with all that new information in mind, Doyle begins to figure out the ratio he wants between the various monsters. After all, 73,000 points isn’t going to spend itself. This meant going back to the hexku as they had the fewest living spaces. ...

[D'sP] Goat Cost Comparison - Chapter 348

With the bird’s situated, that left figuring out where the kobolds would go. Doyle paused and looked over the landscape. The natural place to put a settlement would be at the bottom of the mountain valley where there was the most flat ground. 2024-02-16 13:28:51 +0000 UTC View Post

[NR] The Living Dead - Chapter 573

The first challenge was a hive of necromancer bees. Which, despite the name, do not actually use necromancy. Rather, they make a hive near the recently deceased body of some creature. The name comes from the fact that the venom of their sting caus...
