Chapter 210 - Coronation Ceremony

The polished rim of a wine glass sparkled under the chandelier’s brilliant lighting before being raised to meet the well-manicured lips of a handsome man, his gloves and suit immaculate for all to see. The alcoholic liquid flowed smoothly, the white transparent bubbles soothing to anyone witnessing.

Yet the impressive display was instant...

Chapter 209 - Genetic Revelations

Two weeks later…

The new base in the now-cleared cavern was far different than what anybody could envision. With the carcass of the rock worm towering over them, it served as a humble reminder of just how dangerous the dungeon could be. Any naïve ADCON soldier or scout who was about to venture past the gates would be greeted wi...

Chapter 208 - Trial of Persistence

MG404: [System Message | Trial of Persistence | The prince lies in wait. | Clear Conditions: Break.]

The trial cavern had not seen peace in months ever since Kyle began to mine it for arcia crystals, ADCON squads continuously entering and escaping before the waves got too numerous and overwhelming.

Yet this time was differen...

Chapter 207 - Forward Exploration

Two weeks later…

The clearing where the engineer had melted was now a bustling hub of activity, with armoured personnel swarming the area, sweeping the nearby lifeforms and decimating them enmasse, all in preparation for additional exploration. The cavern was not large enough to truly establish a forward operating base, so Kyle ...

Chapter 206 - Monster Hunter

Sparks glittered through the backlit cavern, the sharp glistening armor scales of the monster’s front legs scraping across Mari’s blocking arm, the force from the friction throwing her off balance and rolling onto the ground.

Before the monster could follow up, a stream of pellets fired by the scouts blanketed its head, causing it to s...

Chapter 205 - Cave Ecology

Three days later…

A cold panic struck through Ollie’s heart, his left leg buckling as he began to fall. The cavern’s ceiling oscillated before his eyes, and was about to disappear when a metallic glove grabbed his arm with a firm grip, hauling him up in one single fluid motion.

Ollie panted, each breath heating up the ...

Chapter 204 - Research Facility

Mari could feel her breath brush against her cheeks, trapped within the gas mask as it fogged up the visor she wore, her vision cloudy.

Before she could instinctively reach up to clear her visor, a stern hand grabbed her arm tightly. “Not until the tent is cleared,” Kyle warned.

“I can’t see a single thing in this gas mask; i...

Chapter 203 - Underground Infection

With the issue of rationing now making good progress, Kyle focused on other matters, most importantly, the mapping of the dungeon. The earlier mapping was done via the mineral ant network, but the scouts did not get very far.

“Our preliminary scouts have all pointed to large caverns beneath the tunnel networks. Their true size and scale ...

Chapter 202 - Ration Selection

A nervous company presenter in a suit shifted his tie slightly, as beads of sweats formed in the creases of his chubby neck, coating it in a thin film. His eyes glanced around the conference hall, meeting Kyle’s for a moment before he gulped instinctively, quickly averting his gaze.

Unexpectedly, Kyle gave a curt smile, a patronizing one...

Looking for Feedback on Book 2 Update

So far I've been reorganizing how Book 2 is written and I need feedback to determine it's viability.

The main complaint i aimed to target was the overemphasis of politics, and the 'shift' away from what seemed to be a criminal black market angle.

I also aim to personalize the threat by the industrialist, by making Harrison much m...

Chapter 78.5 - Ghosts

Dekar held the manager at gunpoint, the manager now tied up and cuffed in similar fashion to the slave workers he once oversaw. “Check the schedule, we need to make sure no word of this leaks out.”

Kyle didn’t reply, already checking the documentation and upcoming planned shipment and transport dates. Five captured Nest guards laid o...

Chapter 78.4 - Slave Factory

“Sir Tian, the higher-ups informed me you’ll only be here five days later.” A stern man checked a printed calendar on the wall, tapping his leather sole with a rasping sound on the stone floor. All around him, the reverberation of furnaces and workshop machines ran through the walls of the catacombs, the factory taking over a former burial...

Chapter 78.3 - Sunk Cost Fallacy

The hollers and chants of the protestors continued to echo through the tight alleyways as Dekar and Kyle moved quickly. Kyle himself was a bit surprised at the strength of the revolt. He had done his research before coming on the general political stability of the country, noting that the government had much goodwill. For this many people to...
