God the Narrator POV.
The destruction of Earth. 21/April/2025. The Day when Russia launched their Nukes because of the world leaders Stupidity, Greed and Stubbornness. or was it Arrogance? Surely some.. thing...had been lost in translation over the simple dispute of a water source right? after all that is why the conflict had started in the first place. right? what? nobody was paying attention when putin ask Ukraine to stop damming up the river supply? you all thought it was just done for the sake of a good fight? to take land? that NATO who had no interest in Ukraine joining their Alliance for so many years and had changed their minds? finally decided to turn the Ukrainians country, who were a no man's land, a barrier state of sorts into a war zone?
After the long and brutal war with Russia and Ukraine.
The world leaders of the European NATO Alliance, America and other countries who had consistently supported Ukraine both directly and indirectly where finally at the finish line. They had worked hard and pushed the forces of Russia out of Ukraine despite constant warnings from the Russian Government to mind their own business. No one seemed to listen.
China had also started to make moves on Taiwan during the the beginning of the Rus/Ukr conflict and the geo political landscape had changed massively with Japan and the Philippine Islands being taken and subjugated by the Chinese. Who had started expanding their own war efforts out towards Korea, Singapore and Australia.
Russia was the first. they nuked all of Europe in retaliation for the war that should had been a fast conflict between neighbouring countries and the world seemed shocked despite the continued warnings they were given. the Russians were pissed as they themselves had begun to be reversed invaded by the end of war.
"Anyway the World was nuked to hell. and... YOU! lucky few people were the only ones I picked to move to a new world. Praise me for I am kind!."
Looking down at the hall filled with 1 million silent floating orbs God smiles and continues.
"Now that your world has been destroyed the balance has been lost and Order is at the top of his game, so Chaos begged me for a small favour and I have decided to humor her, The cute little minx. hmm hmm, anyway you are now world invaders working for her so be the good little greedy selfish shits that you all are and get out of my Halls. I am sure she will have more of an explanation for you herself."
There was a blinding flash and all the souls were gone leaving God alone sitting in his chair Daydreaming about the last time Chaos warped her soft red lips around his godhood.
*Chuckle*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the Blinding flash I looked around but could only see darkness. There were mumbled words of many people around me and didn't take long for there to roar of sound as nearly one million souls started to converse at once.
But suddenly everything became silent as if someone hit the mute button on the tv. After some time had past a Ding resounded in my mind and a screen popped up in my vision.
[Ding! System has been affixed to your soul.
opening new message.]
{ Hi Everyone~ This is your one and only lovely and cute Goddess of Chaos. Chaos hehe~
your God has sold you into my service for a blow job so you will have to thank him later, okay?~ hehe.
Now with the introduction out of the way... let's get down to the nitty gritty shall we?
You have all been selected to become my dungeon cores and cause Chaos in my name to this lovely world of Order.
speaking of Order. that boring guy has already put you on the shit list of every inhabitant of this planet so they will be trying to seek you out the moment you arrive on Tadara~ so don't think you can just sit back relax and no one will come to kill you hehe.
Have fun!
Your cute and bubbly Goddess.
Chaos~}
[Message has ended.]
[Ding! Map Function has been unlocked.]
[Ding! One Newbie pack has been gifted by the system, would you like to open?]
[Yes / No]
Well damn, if I knew this was going to happen when I got out of bed this morning I would have just slept in. I thought while selecting the yes option.
[Ding! congratulations you have received.
1× map teleporter.
1× Random monster spawner.
500× Mana.
1× Random environment floor.
1× Random trap design.
Ding! items have been sent to inventory.
Please select your preferred spawning location on the world map.]
The screen changed and now there was a map showing a massive fractured super continent broken up into 9 pieces with the largest being almost the size of south America and Australia combined! the weird thing was non of the continents had names and the fractures seem to be quite fresh, like they only just been separated.
A thought for another time I guess, as I notice some souls begin to be teleported out in flashes of light.
So where to pick? a forest? a mountain? a desert? I wonder to myself. What is the catalyst for growth?
[Ding! Mana is the catalyst for growth host. it is needed to run everything in your dungeon.]
Oh? so how do I obtain mana system?
[Ding! Mana can be gathered passively though the process is slow it can be upgraded. mana can also be gathered by killing intruders. be them adventurer's, native monsters or other dungeons mobs.]
Other dungeons mobs?... wait... system what happens if one dungeon consumes another dungeon?
[Ding! once the dungeon core consumes another dungeons core you will gain the mana reserves of the consumed cores dungeon aswell as any and all spawners, traps, floor environments, skills, and all items stored in the cores inventory. Note! once the core has been destroyed any monster, item, or resource node will disappear within 24 hours.]
Ahh as expected of Chaos, we are not even safe from each other.
After thinking it over I decide on a defensible mountain area surrounded by a large forest. on the third largest continent.
there is a stream of fresh water that runs off from the mountains and cut due south through the forest but gathering in a rather large lake that seems to form swamplands the south I look on the map.
On the western side the forest gives way after around 80 miles where it abruptly becomes a white sandy beach with a thriving port city 40 miles to the the north.
Speaking about north, there's really not much but ice capped mountain ranges for the next 400 miles, the futher you go in towards the centre where as the outer mountains are green and forested. even futher north the mountains break down into rolling hills and then vast planes that spread out for hundreds of miles more.
To the east the forest spreads till it is cut off by huge fracture that runs up and down the eastern side of the continent.
The continent itself look like an upside-down pear with the mountains, forest and swamps located at the bottom with mountains almost necklace the lower quarter of the continent from the west side and stopping just shy of the eastern sides fractured cliffs.
I select to spawn my Dungeon entrance at the base of a mountain about four meters up from the ground slightly to the left of the nearby water curtain so that the entrance is half exposed. a stream coming down from the mountains has formed a waterfall. the area is quite impressive and as a source of fresh water is present there is sure to be a good amount of activity with the surrounding wildlife. which is good for me as I need all the mana I can as early as possible so I can rush the initial stages of my dungeons development, hopefully the others are slower on learning about the cores and I can take advantage of this to gain more strength.
And that done I use my teleporter and in a flash I am gone from the dark room and into.. well it's the same thing.. but this is home I guess.
