Creator's note- Couldn't wait to surprise  you all so... Here you go. And this will NOT be a dream... He will go on an epic quest while still using the dungeon powers he has and those he will get.

-----

I walk towards the guild house... I remember everything what happened...

The S-class just taking out his blade and cutting Mayu in half... I want that to be a dream but the pain was too real... The time I spent sleeping was too real too.

I will re-make my core... I will re-make my dungeon and I will make it a beautiful Garden devoted to Mayu.

???: "Devoted? Hahahaha!"

Innver is that you?

Innver: "It is not me Quinn... Not me."

Who is it then... Who else is in my brain?

???: "You don't remember me? Oh yeah... I died 7 years ago... Well... I'm Mayu."

No way... Another voice in my head? Pretending to be Mayu?

???: "I am Mayu! I spent so much time with you after being saved with you! I was killed yeah but my Soul ended up in your brain because you refused to let me go... Guess that happens if you refuse to let somebody go for 7 years... Especially if the one not letting the soul go is a dungeon... I guess you could call me your Second Dungeon Inner Voice? I will help you..."

Innver? You aren't pulling a joke right?

Innver: "Nope. I am not. There is another existence except me in your head Quinn. It really is Mayus soul. She came back."

So... Can I revive her!?

Innver: "You can technically bind her soul what is in your mind to another body... Well you were going to do that and make her a Dryad were you not?"

So this still falls in with my plans?

Innver: "Technically yeah. Only the thing about your core breaking was not a part of your plan was it?"

Not at all... Well now to the slave girl. I haven't seen her in 7 years.

Mayu: "So you left her alone... FOR SEVEN YEARS..."

Not alone Mayu! I left her with Mirikin!

Mayu: "That is fine then... I guess... Well now we have to get all the pieces of your core."

By the way Innver... What can I still do without my core?

Innver: "Everything but create floors. The core was basically just a table to build things. It had no other meaning when you seperated your body from your core."

So I can still summon apples and use magic?

Innver: "You can also consume magic from other beings. You have to eat something called the "Mana Heart". It is located just underneath the real heart of the being you are planning to consume. The more hearts one has the more Mana Hearts one has."

Oh... So that is what i've been getting Mana from all this time?

Innver: "Yeah. The dungeon core just simplified that action. The dungeon core just simplified your life and built your dungeon. It had no other meaning."

Well now... That is a lot of good news really suddenly... Makes me want to just... Run off and get all my core pieces right now. But I first need to get the girl. I wonder what Mirikin named her...

Mayu: "Yeah... I wonder that too. Let's go!"

I enter the guild house what I reached while talking to Mayu and Innver in my brain. Mirikin immediatly jumps out of her room like she felt I was there.

Mirikin: "Quinn!!! You left me with a girl and left for seven years! You basically told me the worst news of my life 7 years ago!"

Quinn: "Calm down! I have a way to revive Mayu now."

Mirikin: "That... Is... Impossible! Reviving people is impossible! You aren't lying right!"

Can I tell her Mayu?

Mayu: "About what? That I am here in your mind? Why not..."

Ok thanks.

Quinn: "Mayus soul is in my head... Is that simple? I refused to let her go as she was the first human female who approached me and I got really attached to her and because of that she is in my mind."

Mirikin: "In your mind... You mean she can hear what I am saying...?"

Quinn: "Technically yeah... She can hear what you are saying when I hear it."

Mirikin: "... Well you wanted to see the girl right? You came here for that right?"

Quinn: "Yeah... What did you name her anyways?"

Mirikin: "Akuna... It means Last Memory in Dwarven..."

Quinn: "That is quite the name... Well no matter... My name originates from the elvish language anyways."

Mirikin: "Mayu always loved the elvish language... Well Akuna is right now training in the back. She has grown to be quite the woman... Apparently she looked like a 5 year old girl when she was just 11... She is now 18 years old she says."

Quinn: "Well... I'll head towards the back then."

Mirikin opens a door for me and I enter. There is a long hallway and at the end there is a small yard. I head towards the yard and I saw a woman training there. She held two shortswords.

She looks 18 years old, has a good body. Her hair is light orange. Her hair goes down to her waist.

She is very good with her two shortswords.

When I entered the yard and made a little bit of sound she immediatly stopped and looked at me. I hadn't changed at all in the past 7 years.

Akuna: "You... Who are you... You seem familiar... Like the one who was next to the woman who saved me from slavery and the one who left me with Lady Mirikin."

Quinn: "Yeah that was me. I asked Mirikin to take care of you to be honest... I would've picked you up 7 years ago but a few things came before I could... Well I am here now. My name is Quinn by the way."

Akuna: "Quinn... So it is you!!!!"

Akuna immediatly drops the two shortswords and headbutts me in the stomach and then huggs me... It hurts like when Mayu did it.

Mayu: "She really grew didn't she?"

Innver: "I agree with Mayu on this one. I thought a human and a dungeon point of view on things would be very different but yeah... I have to agree."

She hugs me even tighter while crying a little.

Quinn: "Why are you crying?"

Akuna: "I thought I would never see the pair who saved me from slavery and left me with such a nice teacher... I don't know why she taught me how to fight in dungeons though..."

Quinn: "I asked her to... I have to gather pieces of a core... I also have to find a way to create a Dryads body for Mayu."

Akuna: "For Mayu? Is she dead? Or is her body that weak?"

Quinn: "An adventurer cut her body in half. Her soul is within my head."

Akuna then hugs even tighter like she was hugging me and Mayu at the same time. If I wasn't in a stronger than normal body this squeeze would've killed me for sure.

Quinn: "Mind loosening up..? This hug would kill a normal person..."

Akuna then looses her grip on me.

Akuna: "Sorry... It's just that somebody came back for me for once... Usually people just leave me because I was too weak or just not good enough..."

Quinn: "But what about Mirikin?"

Akuna: "She never left me. Ever."

Quinn: "Guess she did as I asked... Well now to get me some new clothing and weaponry... I have to loan some money from Mirikin... Is that a wise decision even..."

Mayu: "Not really but why not? You need some money... Do you even have the money from our shopping trip years ago?"

Oh yeah I should still have that money... It should be in my pocket... Ok it is gone. Not here.

Mayu: "Guess you dropped it or somebody stole it..."

Innver: "Probably while you were asleep for 7 years Quinn."

Ahh... This is going to end badly for me isn't it?

I head towards the front again where Mirikin is already waiting for me with money and she is already geared up.

Mirikin: "I knew you wouldn't have money and I want to come with you! I also prepeared you a set of armor and a weapon suitable for a strong man for you... You are strong right?"

Quinn: "Yeah. I guess I am."

Mirikin then whistles and two men bring out a suit of armor and a weapon.

The suit of armor looks like adventurers clothing. Light armor with a chestpiece and some kneecaps and such.

The weapon... It... Cannot be explained simply. It is a huge black sword... It is almost as big as me... When I finish putting on the clothing in a seperate room and pick up the sword... It is really heavy. It has some weird red markings on it but I pay no attention.

There is also a huge mark in the middle of it.

Innver: "Hohoho! You got yourself quite the treasure! That mark in the middle is in dungeon language. Only known by dungeons! And this sword is crafted by one of the Dungeon Lords! This is quite the find!"

I then look at Mirikin.

Quinn: "Why do you want to come with us Mirikin?"

Mirikin: "I want to revive Mayu too! She is my friend too! Where is Akuna anyways?"

Quinn: "She was behind me when I left the yard... I guess she went to pack up her things."

Mirikin: "Probably yeah... You must be hungry too right? Or did you eat somewhere with no money?"

Quinn: "I might be a little hungry... Or a lot..."

We wait for Akuna and she comes too. She is dressed in female light armor with two shortswords she was swinging earlier. We head towards an inn and eat there. We also have a little party there... We drank a total of 3 liters worth of mead. A man approached us while we were drinking to win over the girls... Well that did not end well for him. I forgot that I should not show I was a dungeon to anybody and accidentaly summoned an apple on his face... It consumed him quite quickly and dissapeared... For some reason nobody took notice of it and kept drinking. The only people who looked at me weirdly were Akuna and Mirikin. We soon left and then Akuna stopped me.

Akuna: "Quinn... What are you... By the stories people have told about the dungeon what used to be here... It also had apple mobs like that..."

Quinn: "Well Yeah I forgot... I am that dungeon... There was a way to not sneak my way out of that mishap but I don't want to... I would have to explain to you later anyways why I want to save somebody Mirikin thinks I just met."

Mirikin: "I was about to ask you that..."

Akuna: "You are a dungeon...? But that core was destroyed...?"

Quinn: "If a dungeons soul escapes into his... Secondary body you could say... He does escape certain death even if his primary body is destroyed. My primary body... Was destroyed."

Akuna: "That explains a lot..."

We then decide to head to another town. This town has no pieces of my core. Innver told me I would sense it if I was close to it because it is a part of me. I also didn't like this town much. But one question rose into my head. I turned to Mirikin.

Quinn: "Mirikin... What happens if you come with us? Won't it halt all the processes of the guild here?"

Mirikin: "Oh the new vice-master will take over and become the master of that branch of the guild. No matters here. I never liked that job anyways... I want to stay with you to revive Mayu."

Creator's note again - BTW... Aren't LNs what their writers want them to be? I will listen to you guys comments but I will still involve a few things of my own. But I will listen to you guys.
