Jordan’s perspective
I had just gotten out of that hole, well considering what’s in there I’d be willing to say it’s almost a dungeon. Ha as if that would ever happen, it’s just some sort of weird animal we’ve never seen before, not a monster. Everyone was staring at me, what’s going on? I look behind me, making sure that the other animal didn’t follow us out, but there was nothing, I looked at my feet and realized I was beginning to glow. Oh god were they radioactive? What’s happening? Where’s the medic?
Suddenly a screen a god damn video game screen popped up in front of my face. ‘Dungeon has gifted you with mana, you are the first ever adventurer. Bonuses for this title will be listed on your status screen. You now have access to a status screen, to open say or think clearly the word status. You now have access to an inventory, to open say or think the work inventory. You now have access to a class,to select your class, say or think the words class select.’
I haven’t drank since the day before yesterday so I doubt this is any sort of hallucination, especially since I wasn’t the one who noticed my glowing first.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“What’s going on?” My C.O. Asked sternly.
I’m still glowing, “sir, a screen similar to that from a video game has appeared saying i am something called an adventurer now due to what it claims to be a dungeon.” I respond, call me crazy but it’s what’s happening.
“Have you lost your god damn mind corporal?” My C.O. Asked.
“No sir, it says I have a status-“ a screen appeared in front of me. ‘Status. Jordan Bevans the first adventurer. Class none. Strength fourteen, dexterity twelve, constitution sixteen, intelligence twelve, charisma thirteen, wisdom eleven. Status points ten. Bonuses due to first adventurer title: double experience, double status points, double drop rate, double skill acquisition, no limit, ability to speak to dungeons at any level.’
That’s a lot to take in, I can talk to the dungeon? Wait if I can see this can I show it to others?
“Speak damn it, what’s got you all clammed up marine?”
“Uh, show status?” I say, well almost ask honestly I didn’t know if this would work. My C.O. backed up and it seems he was able to see what I could.
“What in the hell?” He asked visibly confused, then suddenly very sullen. “Get in the helo, we’ll need to get you looked at to make sure nothing weird got in you. The egg heads back home are gonna have a field day with you.”
I follow him into the helicopter as we set off back to the camp, I get the feeling that my life is about to get a whole lot more interesting. I also feel like I’ll be coming back to this cave, no, this Dungeon again very soon.
