chapter 1

[I wonder if I should settle down ]

[no no what am I thinking]

[me settle down that's hilarious]

[oh well maybe...]

I was suddenly cut off from my thoughts by a loud screechy sound

(Scraaaaaah)

Almost sounds like a dying seagull

I looked down and saw a green ugly humanoid type creature that was only about 1 meter tall underneath my foot

[I think it was called a goblin or something like that]

[oh well its getting annoying]

I stepped down slightly

(crack)

and its chest caved in

[I wonder why it came out of the dungeon]

[I thought they would all just stay in there now]

[guess I was wrong oh well]

(level up)

that sound comes often, not that it means anything to me. My new status screen that suddenly appeared 10 years ago popped up.

(tch)

[It still has that fucking name]

[I wish I could get rid of this thing but I haven't figured out a way yet]

(sigh)

[whatever lets just get it and go home]

I shoved my hand into its mangled body and grabbed something from inside it looked like a small red pebble. People of this era call what I once knew as monster cores, mana stones.

Although most people don't know but some do, that these monsters have been around for many millennia. However 10 years ago in 2022 the world suddenly changed. 10 years ago Dungeons appeared all over the world and the monsters that existed in the outside world all moved into these Dungeons. In the past 10 years no monsters have come out of the dungeons.

People decided to go into these dungeons that appeared. When they entered people suddenly gained a status board and they discovered that if they hunted these monsters they could get stronger and gain skills and with the advancement of technology and knowledge these monster cores or mana stones could be used for crafting weapons.

Peoples jobs tended to be decided by their lifestyle. If one was a blacksmith they became a blacksmith, if one was a carpenter they became a craftsman, if one was a business owner they would become a merchant. Those who didn't have a specific lifestyle got to choose what they wanted to be depending on how they acted in the dungeon. When I heard about I....

[ok ok we get it brain your getting off track]

[I don't even know who you are talking to even]

[Jeez I really am losing my mind after living so long]

[ oh well who cares I'm just going to leave this forest to sell this so I can eat tonight]

>>>>>

After a couple hours of walking I made it back to the city. There was a wall around the city almost 100 feet high and there were many sky scrapers and cars floating above the ground, yes floating, between technology and mana stone the advancement of civilization drastically increased.

[Its still amazing every time I see it]

[I still remember when people got pulled around by horses, oh how times have changed]

[Now that I think about it its been awhile since i walked back]

[Usually I just teleport back a few minutes away from the walls]

[meh, walking once and a while isn't bad either]

As I was walking up to the gate I could hear yelling.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T COME IN!" an middle age bald man yelled at the guards.

"As I have said you do not have clearance to enter the city" one of the guards calmly replied.

I walked up to the second guard while listening to to bald man ramble on about how he is important or something like that I didn't really care since this happens quite often since this is one of the biggest and most prosperous cities in the world it also is the home of may of the strongest hunters at least by societies standards. Since I was living in this city before the dungeon appeared I can come and go as I please.

"You got another one today to it seems John." I said pointing out as I look over at the other guard and the bald man. I think the other guard's name was Matt or something like that. He is a Red Shirt by Star Trek standards.

"(sigh) Ya they're becoming more and more frequent it seems." John Replies. "Oh, ya were you able to get anything today Shay."

"Ya but I was only able to get one Goblin stone today again." I said this with my head down to make it look like I was dejected.

"Well at least you were able to get something and make it back safe so there is no reason to be dejected about it, don't worry I'm sure you'll level up in no time and be able to hunt more."

" thanks, well I better get home, see you later"

"see ya" John responded

[well I guess acting weak is easier than letting everyone know that you could kill them with the flick of my finger]

"WhY...CaN...He...PaSs!!!!"

As I was walking in I could still hear that bald man yelling but this time it sounded different his voice was lower and his words were breaking apart and it sounded like to voices speaking at the same time.

(a-ahhhhhhh)

(snap)

(crunch) (crunch) (crunch)

Then I could hear it, screaming, bones were being broken and chewed up.

When I turned around I saw it, a monster, if you could even call it that it was only about 10 feet tall, there are much larger monsters than this, but its skin was purple with what looked like boils that were bursting and spraying something that melted everything it touched. In its right hand was the crushed body of the guard that was talking to the bald man and in the monsters mouth was something it was chewing which I would have to assume was the guards head.

While I stood there looking at that thing I could feel it although it was faint it was there. Something that I hadn't felt in thousands of years.

[The aura of a God]
