chapter 1: Birth

If you had to describe a dungeon how would you describe it? Most would say it's a gathering place for monsters. While some will say that they are made by the god's themselves's. To help humans get stronger.

The truth is that they are all wrong. Dungeons are an accumulation of soul's that linger in the mortal coil for longer than necessary for one reason or the other. They gather in places of high Mana concentration. These places of high Mana concentration are usually nearby some sort of disaster because of the harsh emotions that the soul's harbour. 

The souls merge and the strongest soul of them all absorbs the others and then proceeds to crystallize into a ball. This ball is called a dungeon core, and they have no memory of their past life or any goal for that matter but have a strong urge to kill. The dungeon core's for some reason have innate knowledge about Mana that rival the greatest mages of our time they possess the ability to create life provided they have the necessary organic mass. Knowing this a common question is that what happens when they die to put it simply we don't know. But a popular theory is that when the core die's the souls that make up the dungeon core are released and enter the Judging and are sent to the Great Below to be purified.

-------------------------100 years later---------------------------

the full moon hung in the sky partly covered by a random cloud that happened to float by and block some of the moon's ray's underneath the moon a dungeon was forming over the flesh of the god it would take another 2 years to form but the piece of the god reacted with the gathering of souls and started to absorb the souls this continued for about a year until the piece of the god started to change by some unknown process the piece of the god started to gain sentience

As I gained conciseness was assaulted by an intense hunger. Acting on pure instinct I thrashed about wildly trying to grab anything since I had no way to see I had to rely on my sense of touch. Nearby I felt something touch me, so I latched onto it pulling it closer to me. I somehow drained the blood and Mana of the creature. After curbing my hunger I thought about what I just did it seemed that I absorbed the blood and Mana from the creature. Wait what's Mana?

I felt a burst of knowledge in my mind. It took a while before I recovered and absorbed the knowledge. But after proceeding to examine the knowledge about Mana. It seemed that Mana was a type of energy that manifests inside all life and that could be controlled if you had the knowledge. And that depending on the individual this Mana will manifest in different forms depending on that person's personality.

For some, it manifests as a fire. That means that the people wilding fire are heavily passionate. The same principle applies to other elements and I also found out that you can discover what your Mana type is.

Following the instructions I focused inside myself. Slowly in my mind's eye a massive cloud appeared in front of me to my knowledge on Mana the colour and state of your Mana should tell you what Mana type you have. For example an earth type's Mana would be brown and it would usually be solid. While an air type would be barely visible and would be in a gas state and so on. But when I looked at my Mana it was a massive blood-red cloud surrounded by many other clouds with different colour's.

The main cloud was like a predator it would move towards the other clouds and absorb them I watched it as it finally absorbed all the other clouds and it finally stopped moving seemingly content. I proceeded to leave my mind's eye. And pondered my situation. Since I had no eyes and therefore no way to tell if I was safe I need a way to see. I thought about this until by accident I touched the animal I had killed.

Focusing on the corpse I felt like I could mimic it focusing on my self I felt that I had an innate knowledge about the cellarer makeup of the animal that I absorbed focusing on it's eye's I tried to recreate them. Slowly I felt my mass shift and slowly the world came into view blinking a few times I tried to make sense of the world around me as knowledge flowed into my mind.

It seemed that I was in a forest and it was night. Now how do I move I turned to the animal on the floor and focused on it knowledge burst into my mind about the animal's of this world stunned by the info dump I sat there for the rest of the night. When morning came and I had finally assimilated the info I looked at the animal that I had killed I think that they are called rabbit's. Controlling my muscle mass I turned into the rabbit and tried to walk and proceeded to fall on the floor face first. Experimenting a bit I managed to walk practicing for about an hour I could run and jump and move like a normal rabbit. Noticing that I was getting hungry I looked around for some food it seemed that I was in clearing. Looking around I proceeded to hop my way to the tree line.
