《The wandering core》 The new world Where am I? ........ How did I get here? ........ Where is my body? ........ Wait.... I thought I was dead.... I was in my office grading papers..... I drank some of the tea my secretary made....... and everything started going black.... I knew it was poison I had studied ancient poisons and weaponry for decades so of course I had to know the modern ones......Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. What happened after that...... I died, I know I did, after ingesting that much cantarella it wouldn''t be as slow as I''ve discovered it to be as doseage very clearly causes length of life to shorten the more ingested. I was able to scribble enough of a note down to say what the poison was and who I suspected but would that be enough I don''t know. Enough of that though there''s no point in dwelling on the past let''s look at the present. I can not see. I can not smell. I can not hear. I can not feel. I can not taste. I have no senses but yet I have consciousness..... why? Wait what is this feeling? It''s like the sun is shining on me, I can feel the warmth, oh what an amazing feeling this is. But how? I have no body or any substance yet I can feel why? I''m not sure but this warmth is nice it''s like I haven''t been warm in years. My mind is spinning at a thousand miles an hour but I''m getting tired. I think it''s time for a quick nap and then we can figure out what''s going on after that. Added confusion Ahhhhh gosh that was a great nap. I haven''t slept that well in forever, what did I do because... wow... I want to sleep like that more. Wait, wait a second, that''s right I died... welp never mind I guess, honestly once was enough for me. So what''s the plan? What''s going on? What am I suppose to do here? Wait, what is this, what am I seeing? It''s like there''s a flow of very bright and very weird colors what''s going on? Why are these colors coming off of me like waves? Could it be that I''m imagining things to keep my sanity? I don''t think so because let''s be honest I lost that the time I decided that personally trying my favorite poisons was a good idea. But hey don''t judge me. You know what they say if you want something done right do it yourself or at least I think that''s what that means. I''ve never been very sure about that bit because let''s be honest nobody really gets those old sayings they just pretend they do or they give some simple answer to explain away the profound complexities in these short sayings. Crap I need to stay focused my scatter brain is pulling me everywhere. Alright let''s figure out what''s going on here..... it feels like I''m in some weird fantasy magic book... but that can''t be right those are just stories... right? No matter how weird this looks I''ve got to say I''m enjoying it a lot. The waves of light pulsing, off of what I can only guess is the location of my consciousness, is very beautiful. It''s like a rainbow flowing off of me and it is beautiful.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. But why is it distorting at certain parts? It''s like the light is flowing through diffrent materials. Concentrate dumb head, concentrate. Maybe I can figure out what''s going on here. I think looking closer at what''s happening with this light might be the best way to go because right now it''s the only "sight" I''ve got. Its too bad I don''t have like a system that would make things way easier then this junk. Right now I''m just grasping at straws hoping to figure out this new life of mine. Whats that.... wait.... YES! I did it I figured it out just after one of those beautiful light waves pass right behind it a very thin line of sight passes behind it. Like I can see what''s happening just underneath this overwhelming darkness. It looks like dirt..... it can''t be in every direction..... closer, look closer, please let there be something....... Nothing, nothing but dirt..... I know I should be happy that I''m even alive but please don''t let this be it, anything else please a ground, a sky, a plant I want to be with the living not in this expanse of dirt..... CURSE YOU GOD, if you even exist. Of course I was just killed and am alive again, but I''m pretty sure that''s like reincarnation or something like that, so I don''t think that helps prove the existence of god. What am I suppose to do now? Sit and do nothing till I either reincarnate again or my conscience fades away? No.... I am going to focus push myself see if I can get stronger see more then just a sliver after each wave I will push my ability, whatever it is, until I can see everything. New power I''m not really sure how long I''ve been working at this to be honest but I''ve gotten almost no progress and it''s frustrating me. In the begining when I started pushing my new ability I was only able to catch glimpses of what is really around me and even then it was only when I focused solely on seeing past the darkness. Now I can see a full centimeter after each wave when I try my hardest which I feel is not enough. The good news is the range in which I can see has grown bigger because I don''t really have anything to reference it against but it''s gotten bigger. The biggest problem with training my new ability is it''s sooooooo tiring I have to sleep for half the time I train so if I work for 2 hours I have to nap for an hour and it''s making this take a very long time. I wonder if there''s anything else I can do? This is getting boring and frustrating how am I suppose to get stronger? *Look inside of yourself to find the answers you desire* "Who is this? Who''s talking to me? How did I get here? What am I suppose to do?" *look inside and follow your heart. A guide will find you when the time is right*A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. "No! What is going on you have to tell me how I got here! Who are you!" After waiting for what felt like hours with no response I''m sure whoever is out there isn''t going to talk back. Well that''s annoying I finally find something else out there and they give my 3 sentences and then leave. Big help whoever you are, big help. But I guess it can''t hurt to do what they said..... look inside.... what am I suppose to find...... Nothing, I see absolutely nothing. Great so the first conversation I have in this new world is a bust. I should give whoever you are a peice of my mind for that. Look inside they said, find what your looking for they said great help they are. Wait, what''s that? A number? What''s that suppose to be for? Just floating around? It''s staying in a weird spot ride at the top of the inside of my being which apparently is spherical..
10/10 cosmic power
What does that mean? What is cosmic power? What can I do with it..... I have an idea maybe it''s like one of those light novels from back on earth..... alright picture something... what do I picture? What do I do with cosmic power? Hhhmmm maybe a planet? Or ooooo a sun let''s try that hehehe that sounds like the way to go. Ok visualize it picture a sun right in the middle of this void........ aaaaagghhhhh..... What is this pain what''s going on....... aaaaaahhhhhh....... and everything goes black. The inside Uuugghhh..... everything is so fuzzy even the light waves are running together.... wait light waves? Oh yaaaa that''s right I almost forgot about the whole reincarnation thing. You would think I''d remember that but hey nobody''s perfect I guess. So what happened again? That''s right that one guy talked to me and I looked at the space inside myself and I tried to make a sun and then blacked out from the pain which I don''t understand..... That pain, where did it come from? Lets check out what''s going on inside me..... WOW! I did it I really did it! I made a sun how in the world did I do that! Haha I''m soooo happy! But I still have to figure out what went wrong? Wait what''s this?
WELL DONE! due to the creation of a brand new planet your generation of cosmic power has increased 0/day ---> 1/day This cycle has been automatically started at the begining of each day at exactly 1 o''clock every morning and all future cycles will be based off of the current cycle.
I did it I really did it! Wait so creating a planet gave me an increased generation but how do I make my max go up?
CONGRATULATIONS for completing the achievement "Warm and toasty" - create your first star, you have increased your maximum power storage for cosmic power X/10 ---> X/20 NOTE - Hidden achievements give many new things a try and find them to help stimulate your growth
Wow that''s amazing exactly on cue I guess..... but that doesn''t help me how do I find these achievements? Wait gosh I''m very dumb "hidden" is very self explanatory isn''t it. So I guess I just have to wait and hope things move quickly.Stolen story; please report. Alrighty next on the agenda figure out how to get my vision to expand in the outside world..... Uuuggghhh I''ve been working on this for hours or at least I think it''s hours I''ve figured out that there''s a wave every half second and I must''ve watched millions of these waves go past by now.... Whats that? It''s so see through I would''ve never recognized it in fact I haven''t until now.... focus gaven.... come on..... Yes!

Notes Mana is the building block of all magical life for purely magical beings they share health and mana with mana being the main unit of use Repeated use of spells or Xp granted from actions will level up spells creating stronger or more useful spells
Ok so let''s see I''m a dungeon core not sure what the 9 petals mean I''m guessing it has something to do with the whole 9 power sources and from the notes it looks like my health and mana are the same I guess I better be careful if I ever start using my mana... I guess the rest is self-explaining. I wonder how I got these spells I don''t remember learning them are they just from what I''ve done already? But that doesn''t explain "Growth" so how did I get that...... I''m not sure but I''m going to figure it out eventually. I''m hungry... why am I hungry? Can I even eat with this body? I feel like there is food everywhere around me but I only see dirt..... wait..... I am so stupid if I''m a dungeon core can''t I consume the dirt? Ahhhh now that is a great feeling..... satisfaction....... It''s so great....... I could fall asleep right here........... The beginnings of a universe Uugghhh wow I''ve slept better in this life then in my last. But I should probably see what happened while I was asleep. Alright.... and wave..... hmm it looks like I''ve created a small space around me not much about 6 ish inches in every direction, if I had to guess.... ok so I''m floating that''s a good thing to learn. I''m gonna guess that I''ve been forced to stay in this one place. Now I wonder if I''m not touching it will I still be able to consume the dirt around me?
WARNING Increased ingestion of surrounding materials will cause a dungeon collapse if the material is to far outside of your range of influence please first rank up to increase range. Current Rank - F1 xp required to rank up - 0/10 Note - in order to gain more personal xp please destroy beings inside of your range of influence.
Ok so that''s confusing how am I suppose to rank up if I can''t attack anything.... I guess all I can do is wait for something to find me.... While I''m waiting lets check on what''s going on inside of me maybe I have enough cosmic power to do something.....
cosmic power - 18/20
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.Ok so we''ve got enough power to do something. We already have a sun let''s make some planets next. I''m very excited as to whether or not I can create some sentient beings..... first let''s figure out where we''re gonna put it... wait what''s this green ring around the sun? Is that suppose to be there? Wait what if that''s the "sweet spot" for a planet to have life.... worst case I get another planet..... You know what let''s do it.... Concentrate..... ugh ahhhhh ok not as bad as last time what did I get my cosmic power down to?
cosmic power - 8/20
Ok so that makes sense so in order to create a new planet I need 10 cosmic power.... why does that seem so low? I feel like creating a new planet should be way more then that..... wait oh ok that explains it... so I just created a big ball of magma in the middle of space.... how am I suppose to create things on my new planet if it''s on FIRE.... hmmmm.... I wonder can I just put a bunch of water on it to cool it off? Ooo that''s a plan, ok so I''m gonna create an ice asteroid and crash it into my new planet maybe that will make it possible to cool down my planet super quick.... and visualize.... ugh ok so that one didn''t hurt almost at all. So now let''s see can I push it into the new planet? YES! Oh wait no no no I smashed it into the planet but I might have done it to hard because a big chunk came off and flew into space.... what''s gonna happen to it? Maybe I can make a new moon like the one that goes around earth. Let''s see if it''ll cool down and be the moon that would be a great throwback. Ok I think that''s gonna be everything I''m gonna do In here at least until I get more cosmic power I''ve dropped all the way down to 1 left and I don''t want to know what''s gonna happen at 0. So let''s move back outside and see what''s happening. Oooo ok I think I might get a great opportunity here soon hehehe....
