The Human From a Dungeon 118
Chapter 118Emperor Jak Norev IAdventurer Level: N/ADwarf - Calkutin"What gibberish spouts from your incompetent maw?" I demanded."Th-the daemons, my emperor," my new senior aide stammered. "They are attacking! All over the empire!""Repeating yourself provides no additional clarification, boy! Do you believe that my ears no longer function?""I-I'm sorr-""Silence!" I shouted as I angrily rose from...
The New Delay
I initially estimated that I would be able to publish physical copies of The New Era in late August. The closer we get to the end of August, the more it becomes apparent that I was being overly optimistic.The book is as edited and formatted as it can be without an initial upload to KDP and IS, and the cover is in a similarly finished state. So, what's stopping me?Money, naturally. To publish The New Era, I need 2 more ISBNs. Which means I hav...
The Human From a Dungeon 117
Chapter 117Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – AmericanWe stared in shock as a huge, shadowy figure began to stand, its joints screeching with the effort. Then it began to approach us, sending shudders through the floor with each step. It took a lot to fight the animalistic urge to run. Finally, it stepped into the glow of our lights and I realized that it looked almost exactly like the robots we had been fighting, only much larger."Fuck,...
The Human From a Dungeon 116
Chapter 116Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – AmericanThe freshly awakened orc was absolutely frozen in terror at the sight of Larie. She stared at us with wide eyes while we stood frozen, trying to figure out what to say. Finally, Garin sighed, then walked over to her and kneeled."Hey, there's nothing to be afraid of. They're friendly, and saved our asses," he said gently. "Are you okay?""Y-yeah, what happened? F...
The Human From a Dungeon 115
Chapter 115Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – AmericanThe dungeon started out far less hectic than I had initially thought it would be. I had imagined that we would be fighting a ton of monsters, but we spent the entire first day just walking, occasionally passing a group of adventurers on their way out. All three groups that we passed did an alarmed double take when they saw Larie, but quickly calmed down when Yulk explained things. We set ...
The Human From a Dungeon 114
Chapter 114Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – AmericanI found myself extremely disoriented, unable to remember where I was or how I got there. It felt as if I was floating, but in air instead of water. Or space, maybe. I opened my eyes and saw nothing but white. My sense of panic was stifled by a feeling of familiarity, though. I'd been here before, hadn't I? When? How?'It has been a while, but surely I'm more memorable than ...
The Human From a Dungeon 113
Chapter 113Thalomus the ImmolatorAdventurer Level: N/ADaemon - Unknowable"Does this even count as razing a village?" Kirain Yith asked with amusement in his voice.I silently agreed with the master vampire's assessment. One expects a certain level of structural devastation to be involved in destroying a village. However, with the exception of its populace, this village was completely intact. From a distance it even looked as if it was ...
The Human From a Dungeon 112
Chapter 112Li'Lord SimeethAdventurer Level: N/AKobold – UnknownMy tail wagged happily as I looked at my new bed. It was a cushion, with wool blankets on top of it. We had made lots of money from all the trades we'd been doing, and Gali had said that it would be good for more Al if we got better beds. I didn't know who Al was, but Marka had insisted that it was a great idea.I wasn't really sure how a sack of soft stuff could be b...
The Human From a Dungeon 111
Chapter 111Nash AltaAdventurer Level: 11Orc - NulevanThe rage in my chest turned into something cold as I watched Agurno leave. It felt like a kind of generalized disgust, but it was hard to put my finger on why I was feeling it. Could it have been the realization that the abandonment that Nima had gone through was cyclical? Or maybe it was how casually and unapologetically Agurno had admitted to his faults, with no intention of changing them....
The Human From a Dungeon 110
Author's Note - I have made the switch to Microsoft Word and am still trying to get it figured out. This switch happened in the middle of this chapter, so if there's anything weird about the formatting please feel free to point it out to me in the comments. :)Chapter 110AgurnoAdventurer Level: 152Orc – KirkenianI stared at the boy turned man from a past that I thought I'd left behind. He was trying desperately to recover from my kic...
The Human From a Dungeon 109
Chapter 109Nash AltaAdventurer Level: 11Orc - NulevanI kept a wary eye on Nick as we rose, ready to catch him if he hadn't completely recovered from the shroud. It was very likely that Ten was the only reason that Nick hadn't fallen into a coma. His legs were solid, though, so I relaxed a little."Thank you for your help, may we meet again under better circumstances," Nick said."Sure, that'd be nice," the imp replied. &...
The Human From a Dungeon 108
Chapter 108Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – AmericanWe walked for a while longer without incident. It felt like more than half an hour. The tree canopy didn't let much light through so it was difficult to tell how long our journey was. Not that I was all that great at telling time with the sun.Once my feet started to get sore we came across a portion of the path which made a sharp turn. Upon making the turn, we were faced with a fence ...

Chapter 107Master Vampire Kirain YithAdventurer Level: N/ADrow Master Vampire - BalushenianI took a sip from a goblet of blood as I examined the rest of the table. Count Hesseth, my primary aide, was seated to my right. Across from Hesseth sat Thalomus, who was also acting as an aide.He was seated to the right of the one he was aiding, none other than Hirgarus the Decimator. I had learned a lot more about him during my stay in the hells. As it tu...
The Human From a Dungeon 106
Chapter 106Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – AmericanWe ended up eating our breakfast pretty quickly. To avoid delay, and Nash's bitching, I opted to order the same as my brothers instead of requesting customizations. We were served a bunch of fatty meats on what appeared to be some sort of charcuterie board, and I could almost feel my cholesterol rise as I ate.Not long after finishing our unbalanced breakfast, we made our way to the en...

Chapter 105Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – American"Larie has not been to this city for quite a long time," Yulk pointed out. "He told me as such when I sought his guidance for the wylder and the Summer Court.""Then shouldn't we be worried that he'll get lost?" I asked."No," Nash replied. "He's an adult, one who's probably older than all of us combined. He knows what he's doing."...
The New Era 42
Chapter 42Subject: Epilogue (updated)-Immediate Aftermath-Once the Unified were disconnected from their simulated gestalt consciousness, USAI Omega used their credentials to order all Omni-Union units to cease activity and return to the Grand Vessel. This order took a while to reach the farthest corners of the universe, but even with the delay more than a quintillion lives were saved. The Unified underwent a war-time tribunal instead of a trial, ...
The Human From a Dungeon 104
Chapter 104Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 11Human – AmericanDuring the uneventful eight days of travel, I managed to get Larie to give me more information on Rapid Magic Depletion. As it turns out, it can turn deadly if it happens away from civilization and the body usually prevents it from happening. The latter fact reminded me of a conversation with Ten regarding my muscles, and I pointed out that maybe the reason I didn't have that limiter ...

Chapter 103Jamuk MorathiAdventurer Level: N/ADwarf - Calkutin"Cinti, where are the quarry quotes?" I asked my assistant.My elf assistant's long, blonde hair fluttered as she turned. Many a visitor had complimented me for my taste in women, assuming that I had hired Cinti for her looks. The thing is, I wasn't the one who hired her. I just didn't fire her back when I took office.A choice I almost regretted as she gave me a blank...

Chapter 102Gali MorathiAdventurer Level: 15Dwarf - Calkutin"Okay, do I gotta be the one to ask this?" Rebis asked in a whiny tone. "What the fuck are we supposed to do against ghosts?"The Western Wasters had been suffering from success ever since we reported back to the Venator's Bureau. We hadn't skimped on the details, and the bureau had even investigated and confirmed what they could. This gave them the impression that ...

"Nash will be joining us tomorrow afternoon.""When will we be leaving?" I asked."The day after. The Summer Court is held in the Grand Forest of Climeta, just outside of Climeta city in Calkuti. It will take a week to get there by cart."I nodded and turned my attenti...
