[NR] You're Still Wearing That? - Chapter 328

Gregor shakes his head, “Most people think about how to cajole the System into giving them favors. This isn’t even a bad idea as it can work. While the System isn’t affected by emotions or similar, it does understand that rewarding people for doing its will allows for greater control. There are entire guilds based around teasing out whatever the System is currently annoyed with and using any means necessary to fix things.”

Jason’s eyes go wide, “Well that sounds important. L...

[D'sP] Quite A Few "Leave" - Chapter 164

It takes a week after the incident with Jan for things to calm down again. Not that it fully settles, of course. The only thing settled are the few hundred new people as it is amazing how quick magically enhanced crafting is when you aren’t trying to make the best of the best. So while the less than thirty core members of the settlement are still working on their houses, everyone else is already proud owners of what pre-system would have been considered high quality, if rustic, two-story ho...

[NR] Negated Vs Nullified - Chapter 326

Jason shakes his head, while starring his own stats is important, Lily also needs a good bit of work. Though he suspects it will be much easier. After all, it seems the System somewhat means for people to star the stats of their pets and companions. Otherwise, why would it be a known thing among the locals? The question is why that is the case, especially when you include companions in on it.

With just pets, it would make some sense. Pets by the System definition are not sapient. Once t...

[D'sP] The Good Ol' One Two Daggers To The Throat - Chapter 163

Up on the wall Ace can only shake his head when he realizes exactly who, or more importantly, what is missing from Jan’s forces. There is not a single caster or qi user in the lot of them. Worse, no matter where he looks, he can’t seem to find them. Ace knew that a number of them had left with Jan and they aren’t even in with the normal people at the back.

This is a reasonable worry as it is unimaginable to not have at least a few energy users, if only to counter the ones that the...

[D'sP] You Will Be Banished - Chapter 162

While the town is arguing over what to name the place, Ally speaks up to Doyle. ‘I noticed something about the sixth floor. You don’t seem to have used the farm zones there?’

Doyle turns away from the town, ‘The sixth floor is special being the first after my first boss, so I added something special of my own. A farm zone would have let the floor be a lot more sustainable. However, I already made this floor quite special with how delvers have to beat all the monsters to progress...

[NR] ★ - Chapter 325

Jason, having saved himself from falling over, recenters himself and begins his moving meditation again. But now there is a difference. If before it felt like moving with a loose set of clothes on, now it feels like wearing a skin tight leotard. Not quite literally, mind you, but that is the closest he can come when he tries to explain it. And then the System dinged.

[NR] Just Go Around The Wall - Chapter 324

Ignoring the outside world, Jason continues refining his core and cultivation technique. While the outline stays the same, he plans to get his soul’s shell involved in some critical parts this time around. So as he rebuilds the containment around the hole into the world’s Energy flow he weaves wisps of the shell into the structure.

And in doing so, he learns more about the very foundation of NeoRealm. For each being has such a connection and yet when he took down the core’s struct...

[D'sP] Naming the town around Doyle's Dungeon

In the latest early access chapter (161 - Three Potential Names) the town is finally getting around to thinking of a name for said town. As the name of the chapter suggests, I narrowed it down to three potential names. And since I couldn't decide which you all get a crack at deciding. The three names are Haven which is supported by Ace, Osto Strato that has Jim behind it, and Wolf's Rest as a wild card that Jimmy threw out. Now because I do have to actually write the chapter you only get the ...

[D'sP] Three Potential Names - Chapter 161

Midway through the next day, Ace finally finds out about the approaching headache. While Doyle hadn’t been able to confirm it was Jan the day before, Ace has access to Jim. After someone who was out managed to catch sight of the large caravan of people, it was only a matter of hours before Jim managed to confirm not only that it was Jan, but that she had only half of the original people still with her.

Ace wasn’t willing to instantly assume the worst, especially when, by Jim’s est...

[NR] Frustration All Around - Chapter 323

Gregor coughs, “Anyway, I’m sure you want to go check out what has changed more in depth so don’t mind me. I’ve got to put everything away and I like to take care of that personally.”

Jason shrugs and heads out of the house. Not because he doesn’t trust them or anything. He just wanted to go and do a final bit of moving meditation. Though with just the breakthrough Gregor knew about, things would be different.

Outside the city, Jason finds only a small contingent of gu...

[NR] Not My Problem - Chapter 322

Of course, that isn’t the end of it. Jason is put through a number of tests by Gregor just in case something would show up. Maybe it would have worked on another Traveller but Gregor already knew the results for this. A blank result. The difference was this time the alchemists and government were payrolling it so Gregor had gone all out.

Gregor and Jason had a good laugh over it while they wrapped the tests up. Jason stretches as he readies to leave. Gregor stops him, “So all the te...

[D'sP] Doyle Gets Worried - Chapter 160

And once the surviving member of the patrol, one of the bosses’ companions from the first floor, reached the town something else showed itself. For Doyle’s normal monsters, when they move around the other monsters just give way when needed. There was no thought to it, an automatic reaction. The kobold town was different.

When the kobolds on watch saw her coming, they opened the gate so it was ready when she got there. Normal enough, except that isn’t what they should have done. Th...

[D'sP] Lots Of Traps - Chapter 159

Doyle and Ally chat a bit more about his levels but soon enough he is back to finishing the sixth floor. With everything else taken care of and nothing critical happening outside, Doyle decides to focus on completing all the gate connections. While it works, at the moment, all the rooms can only attach to one another in one direction. With more gates, the floor will be able to rotate each room making it ever harder to tell that it is all the same rooms over and over.

A week passes as he...

[NR] Changes Happened - Chapter 321

Jason claps his hands, “Anyway, I was about to take the potion? Going to just sit in the corner and chug it like you advised.”

Gregor nods with a look of deep concentration on his face. “Yes, fine, you do that. I’ll have to think about this new information a bit more. It isn’t really new information but the fact you knew about it means something. After all, I highly doubt someone else got to you first and pumped you full of info to prank me. Anyway, your ideas are different en...

[NR] To Change A Soul - Chapter 320

Gregor picks up one of the boxed potions and hands it to Jason. “Looks like we got lucky! The potions did come in today. Now, there aren’t any special preparations needed to drink the thing, so just sit down in that corner. The only thing to keep in mind is to drink it all in one go. Unlike some potions, you can’t take your time.

“Once you start the potion activates and if you stop the rest of it will instantly evaporate away. Mind you, the potion won’t fail, it just won’t b...

I accidently started a new story

Heyo, got a new story but because of how I am writing it, it won't interfere with my other stories. You see, normally when work is slow I just read but occasionally I feel like writing. I don't exactly want to be writing D'sP or NR on my phone so I ended up starting a new story.

There isn't a name for it yet and I haven't edited it yet but there are about 10k words to and that means something because I want to keep the story to a 50k word count so I'm technically a fifth of the way thro...

[D'sP] Existence Existing - Chapter 158

Doyle pulls back from working on the sixth floor, and things have changed. Not much, but enough for him to tell time has passed. The system doesn’t have a convenient calendar function so it takes him a little to figure out that three days have passed. Once again, not much had happened so this loss of time wasn’t critical but it showed that he needed to be careful about time slipping on him.

Though he can understand why it took so long. Even if he hadn’t completely connected up the...

[NR] Non-Stat Statistics - Chapter 319

Breakfast over, Jason and Gregor head out towards the adventurers guild. Of course, with Gregor leading the way the trip is a lot faster as instead of going to the wall and back, he knew which street to cut across after all. Though the time saved ended up mostly being wasted as the delivery hadn’t shown up yet and the two ended up waiting there for a good bit.

Still, for Jason the time wasn’t wasted as it let Gregor take his oaths and gave Jason a chance to question Gregor some more...

[NR] Something Forgotten - Chapter 318

As the group settles down, Courtney coughs to get everyone’s attention. “So there is one other thing that needs to be done. Or rather, I guess I just want to confirm if it has happened or not yet. I noticed that Gregor doesn’t have his fifth tail yet. Does that mean Jason hasn’t gotten his potion yet? After all, while I don’t know what Jason has done so far, but me and Rosha have already taken an oath not to share the fact he has taken the potion. Be a bit of a waste to have made th...

[D'sP] Populating The Sixth Floor - Chapter 157

It takes Doyle a few hundred tries to get the ebony tree right. Mostly because he plans to only have one such tree, or rather one design copy and pasted across the floor. There is only so much space to put them so if they were all different people would notice soon enough. By making them all exact copies, people wouldn’t be able to easily figure it out. Even if they leave marks, all finding a tree that was already marked would do is make them think they went in circles or something.

B...

[D'sP] Teleportation Reference - Chapter 156

After some more thought, Doyle has an idea. Not quite a plan yet as he has to figure out if inter-floor portals will work right, but that will just take some testing. With that in mind, Doyle focuses on the sixth floor to set things up. The edges had stopped expanding except for the almost passive growth he has going on, leaving an empty sphere that can fit a 42 by 42 square in the center. Though it does look like there is almost enough space to fit another room in but that can wait.

Wi...

[NR] Skip The Tourist Traps - Chapter 317

As Jason considers using the Fibonacci sequence for the sixth step, another quality of it jumps out to him. It is a small thing, but the classic sequence starts 0, 1, and then 1 again. The zero would be the beginning when settling down. Then, with one being repeated it adds an important step. It recognizes the core law that states an object in motion will stay in motion. None of that magical pre-world nonsense, with one becoming two. A pure and simple repeated cycle.

Of course, the Fibo...

[NR] No Buts - Chapter 316

Beneath his skin, Jason’s muscles squirm like snakes as he flexes them group by group. Jason breathes out and his breath flies across the room like an arrow as vapor condenses around it. The dust in the air sparkles with energy and dances around as his vitality surges. He opens his eyes and a slight glow permeates the room. If only the scientists had a proper detector in the house to pinpoint these events. They don’t, and they won’t because Jason’s mom put her foot down.

Jason s...

[D'sP] Upgrade Pack - Chapter 155

Doyle watches as the last person retreats through the portal and nods. The boss fight wasn’t going to be cleared anytime soon. While the patrols won’t hold them for long, the monsters in the town should do a fine job. But that isn’t important at the moment. Just earlier, he had gathered enough sapient energy for his sixth floor. The siren song of building a new floor had called to him but he had wanted to see how people handled the boss floor before getting into it.

Though there i...

[NR] Mystical Integration - Chapter 315

Jason, however will not start that way. His very path of cultivation forbids it! How can he truly be supported by civilization if all he does is blight? The fall of the early mega-corps proved that no amount of power can truly insulate you. Maybe if this world was a source instead of a sink. But even then, Jason knows it wouldn’t have changed his answer.

The powers around him vibrated and with a single decision would have all streamed into him and supported his cultivation. Without an...

[NR] A Choice He Already Made - Chapter 314

Jason sighs, ‘With that I have two interconnected goals. Gain control of strings and my stats. Of course I can’t do either in the short term but there is one thing I can do tomorrow. I gained a bit already from continued exercise but there should still be a point or two I can grind out. The problem is, if I keep gaining stats like freshly fallen snow it will just make my job harder. Using that point or two, I need to observe how they form and figure out if I can force the new stats to tak...

[D'sP] Everyone On The Planet - Chapter 154

Og turns his head to the side to look at Ace, something a bit hard for him to do as he is sprawled out flat on the floor. “I don’t really need a spear?”

Ace shrugs, “Well, neither does Sammy. You two are just the only ones that would make any use of them. If anything, I would want you to get both of them as I’m sure dungeon loot spears will do a lot more damage when thrown than your lead slugs. Nevermind the potential to pin a monster.”

Sammy nods, “I give up the cha...

[D'sP] Two Spears - Chapter 153

Doyle sighs, whether he can control his bosses is a question for the future. After all, he would rather be on the side of them being more chaotic. A robot following directions to the letter is going to be a lot easier to beat than something going by whim and whimsy. It isn’t like he won’t be able to improve it and he has enough things to tweak on the floors being actively used. Though even in this short amount of time, more people have been making it down to the third or even the fourth f...

[NR] The Three Laws - Chapter 312

Jason slaps himself. He had been getting way too introspective. His tests and research instead of revealing a path forward had started him down side roads. First, the sixth step to improving his core was related to the essence of Energy. Second, his stats had always been like a cloak he put on instead of a core part of him and why should he care so much about it when he has body/mind unification? Third, there is no third because everything comes back to Energy. His core, his stats, his cultiv...
