《Dungeon of the mindless》


 a meh day to die

    I died. not like in the movieswhere a person dies slowly and people shout at them not to leaveor go into the light. there was more sound of swearing and a sound of cars. I had been on my way home from my job, it had been payday when I walk down the road into the alleywaythat leads to my one-bed room apartment in Camden in the northwest of London I heard a noise before there a blackness. my head hurt and a felt a dripping down my ear as I relisted I had been hit in the back of my head withsomethingheavy.


    " Awhell man, I think ya hit him too hard," whisperedvoice number one that I could only just make out over the deafening sound of my heart beat in my ear.


    " so what, just grab his wallet and let get out of here," said Voicenumber two a bit deeper ( not thatit an importantdetail I just believe it would be better to add this small detail for the hell of it, get it I''mdyingha.)


    slowly even my hearing started to go as I hear them walk away from my now dead body. how had it come to me deadin the streetat the age of 21. I had spent most of my life in school to then send my money on drink awaymy life than working in an old corner shop which did not pay that bad for only a small shop. now I was floating awayinto a bright light. all I could think was please Godbe nice to me I will alway be nice in life please I don''t want to burn for all of my life ( well death).This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road.

    " Matt Hall," said a dull booming voice.


    "God is that you," I said out loudto the whiteness.


    "I''m the one asking the question, Matt Hall. now are you, Matt Hall," said the booming voice.


    "i... I am," I said as I quivered "where am i."


    "you are in the afterlife and now I will judgeyou to see whatyour life will become from now," the booming voice said


    "what like heaven?" I asked to the voice that body I could not see


    "no, you can not afford that life with such a littleamountof soul essence more like being reborn as something. maybe an antwould suit you, a mindless worker," drowned the voice.


    " I don''twant to be a bug," I complained (still very unsure of what was going on and if this was just a tv show joke).


    "well, Ican only make you one more thing" the voice yawned


    "what is it," I asked, " if it, not a bug I will take it".


    "very well then enjoy your next life," the voice said in it dull boredtone.


    "Wait. what is it," I shouted to the world (well white light) as it started to turn dark.


    ---Be joyed, you have been reborn in the world of Vublovas a dungeon heart---


    "WHAT!!!" I shouted!

 the shop of the seam

    ---day one of being reborn---


    the darkness was stuffy. it has hard to breath and it felt like I was falling and falling down. then suddenlyI stopped falling and there was a flash of light.


    "Welcome good sir, what may I help you with today," called a booming joy filledvoice with a crisp British accent.


    suddenly I could see around me. I was in an old fashion shop with lots of the wooden shelf with tonsdifferent items on them. on these shelves, there were: glowing crystal rocks, lights in the large and small glass bottle, book with golden rune printedon them and many other items each of them older than the next. at the end of the shop stood a thing in a human-like formwith blue cloud like skin. it has blood red eyes, a large smile that filled all its face and a strangelysexless face.


    "where...where the hell am I," I yelped


    it opens a large leather-bound book that had not been there before he purred " i see you are new to this. well, them let me be the first and likely only to say welcome to my shop ''the seam'' for all you needs. I am the owner of this fine placeHellion Weaver is my name."


    "what I can buy stuff. with what and what for" Iwondered


    "no, you own nothing to sell but you do get to chose your starting power,"Hellionchirped


    suddenly a box opens in front of me:

    "what is this.... this thing," Iquizzed


    " this is where you chose your path for the next few 1000 years or so of your life. you chose 3 points now and when you levelup you get more points but each time you upgrade one it triplethe price but it will unlock it. there is more you can upgrade it later. you get the levelingup by killing life form and using their life energy to power yourself, so rememberthat if you stop killing you will also die unless you find some other way to get the same energy. now then Iwould say to pick one of either life or death than one of holy and unholy and one of air water fire and earth. now pick your 3 for I can tell you no more," Hellion acknowledged.


    what to do. I had no clue as to what each one of thesesthing would do. I guess I would do whatHellion said to do. by the sound of it, I don''t want to have the undead finding me all the time for that just creepy to wake up and see a skeletonon my face, so I will pick life I guess.

    ok, one down two more to go. so what do I want.air seem to make things faster which I wasn''t sure how useful it would be. fire, well last time I use a match I nearly burnt my house down so that was not for me. for water, it seemed to make me live underwater so the chance of me getting living things to go underwater for me to kill them (this is super dark now I think about it. maybe I have been changed when I was born as whatever a dungeon is) would be very hard. so earth made it sound like I would become stronger which sounded good for I didn''t want to die from someone hitting me hard and smashing my head in. so earth it is.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent.

    so now them holy or unholy. I''m not a bad person but being holy sounded a bit boring. all holy people tend to be old and spend their time helping people and truly If I was going to live a second life then I didn''t want to spend my life helping people. so unholy it is.

    "well then next we have to see what type of dungeon you will be,"Hellion purred " you will be a level of power that will make that powerful for the next 1000 or so years ."


    "what power and what do you mean 1000 or so years," I asked now more confused as for when I got here.


    "Ok there is different power level you can be starting from broken, weakling, normal, strong, powerful, endless, lord, god-like and then there the unbonded, oh and your new form will last much longer than your last life form and even if you die you will be reborn and then send the next 1000 as a new dungeon,"Hellion said giving me a car salesman smile

    Started to turn dark as I try to shout but found I couldn''t.(wish people would give me more warning before they did that.)

 a new world (for me)

    <hr>


    Everything was dark (bet you''re getting tired of hearing that). As I sat there thinking of how my life had become like this. I had only been in my 21-year-old and I had so manyregrets. My mum had run away with a differentman when I was just 1 year old and I didn''t remembermuch about her. My father had been always very busy in his work. Every time he came home he seemed to have more grey hairs and more baggy eyes which are likely why he had had a heart attack at work at the age of 52 when I was 17. I have an older brother. He had been born with long brown hair in a ponytail, his eyes were deep brown and he was 28 at the time. When my father diedhe took me in. he had given me my first car. I hope he was ok. Istarted togetsadso Itried tolook around.


    A light started to leak into my view. I could see the sky, a deep blue that seemed to reach forever with small white and grey clouds. A small bird that I didn''trecognise flew past. It was a dark green with a yellow beak as it flew up past me. Small birch trees were next to me with green leaves whispering in the wind like little fairies. Wildflowerswere all around me from small pink ones, many leafed yellows and powerful reds with small bees buzzing around on them. Grass titled me. I could see a small dirt road off to the side and I tried to walk over to it.


    It was then when I triedto move and then found out I had no arms, legs and not even a body. I started to panic and triedto move again and again. What the hell had those people done to me?I would find them and report them. I must have been drugged or somethingand I must have been dreaming. No way was there an afterlife that just what people believe in for them were fearful of death. No way. No way. My brother will find me I can''t be far from.... from. I could not rememberhow I had died but I couldn''thavedied that would be a sissy. I''mhere now. These voices must have been a dream. A dream. A dream. I fellunconscious!Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    When I awoke I could see the weather had changed for the worsted. It started to rain. I had to get out of here beforeI froze to death (i could still fell the cold which is good I think) and find my home. That was when I hear the sound of snapping twigs.


    "Are you sure it''s this way?" came a thick male grunt from behind me


    "Who''s the tracker here," came much softer voice female voice


    "Can we stop lassy ya legs may be as long as a whip spider but I''m sure as hell ain''t got no long stump like you and your type," came a second male voice with a light Scottishaccent.


    "Fine, I andDadrin will have the camp set up. may you please go get the firewood, Ithink we may need it tonight," the femalesaid looking up at the sky. (Ok, I was guessing she was looking up at the sky as I couldn''tlook behind me).


    I could hear and fell foot set coming closer. the vibrationseems to grow as very footfall came closer. I tried to call out to them.


    *Help. I''mover here, help*


    I hear the foot setgetting closer as a face looked down at me. his face was large with small eyes and a large nose that look like it would fit better on a pig. He had a bald face with a long black scar moving down his face. Massive tree trunk like arms was holding some sticks in him spade-sized arms.


    "What does we have here then," his gruff voice grunted as he reached down and picked me up. Wait... picked me up. I tried to look around and found why I couldn''t move my body. I had nobody. aww hell.


    "now your a nice little gem and you glow. well, at last, this shit show of a job might be worth something," the monster of a man muttered.


    So that dream was real. Well, great now I get to spend my life as a gem. Smashing. Just what I wanted to do with my life. Well maybe someone can get me my body back. If I can be turned into a living rock then someone must be able to give me a body back and make me able to get back home away from whatever this is. Well, for now, i will just go with it. (Not like I could do something. I can''t even talk.)


    The big meaty hand moved me to one of the pouches on his belt. ( Is that a sword on his back?!?)

 its a wizards world

    <hr>


    It was not dark in the money pouch (thank god). Aas I slid into the pouch I could see somedifferent coin that I didn''t recognise the pattern on them. I was confused as hell as to what was going on but at this point, I have got it down to three things:


    I''mgoing insane in which case Ican''t do anything to stop it.


    I''msuper high on something in which case I can''t do anythingto stop it.


    This is real and I have no power in this new world in which case I can''t do anything but try and live in this new world.


    "You got that wood yet ya slow poke," I hear from the distance

    2 days later


    While the light was able to get into the small pouch I couldn''tsee shape so I couldn''t see the otherstrangepeople but I was able to get some information. We, me and the otherpeople, had made it to a place called Riverpool(which I had never heard of but whoever named it was bad at naming things. I''m no expertat naming things or have a degree in naming things but I think I could probablyhave done a better job at naming this place. Just saying it sounds too muchLiverpool).


    I also found out that I didn''tneed to eat or sleep which was nice but I could go into a meditatingstate where it was like sleep. which I did a lot btw (by the way). Then one day I felt sudden whichthat woke me up.


    <hr>


    pucks view


    I''m getting too old to run this damned shop. 20 years as an archmage to become a shop owner where stupid people buy stupid items to then go die by being killed by a bear or something dumb.


    I looked up as somethingmassive walk into my something doorway.

 the end

    hello me here, the writer.


    I''m very sorry if you have been wanting a new chapter or for the book to be carried on. I''m very sad to say that I will not be writing more for this book. it has no good plan and the charters are dull while at the same time lacking life. I''m sorry if this upset you as a reader but if a carry on it would start to become even worse as well as a pain for me to think up.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    sorry for this but I hope to make more story in the future and learn from this.
