(Author's Note: This is a community project where I'm letting a Discord server vote to control how the story progresses. The chapters will be made as I can, and there's no guarantee they will progress for that long, as interest may die out. Just letting you know.)
The first thing I notice as I regain consciousness is that I'm in a dark room. It's only got a dim light showing my surroundings, which seems to be coming from behind-, no...from me? No matter which way I look the source always seems to be behind me, which means **I** am glowing? That's odd, why would-
With a chime, a blue box suddenly manifests before me.
Core System Booting
Welcome, Core 782547, Please designate Dungeon Name.
Dungeon?! The heck? Is that what I am? I mean, it makes as much sense as waking up here with no memories and glowing...What happened to me? Why can't I remember-
Welcome, Core 782547, Please designate Dungeon Name.
Gah! The heck?! Is the System getting impatient?! That's weird. Guess I should make a decision instead of thinking, for now. I think I'll go with...Ibis. Gah! What was that? It's like there were a bunch of different voices in my head shouting names just now...
Change Dungeon name to "Ibis"? Y/N
Yes, yes. I said to do it, right? Why does it feel like I'm not actually alone in here?
Core System Starting Initial Run Sequence.
Welcome Core 782547. Congratulations on establishing Dungeon Ibis Do your best not to get shattered. Think Status to bring up your Dungeon information. If you require assistance think Dungeon Mechanics and an index with relevant information will be provided. Good luck with your new life.

Ibis Status
Current Dungeon Points: 100

Floor Count: 1
Room Count: 1
Monster Count: 0
Monster List Expand
Dungeon Skill List Expand
Okay...not a lot to go on, but I think I have the gist. So, Dungeon Points...I assume I use those for upgrades and summoning monsters? DP generation...that's kind of slow, isn't it? Hopefully monsters aren't too expensive, I need to make sure I'm defended.
Let's check out that Dungeon Mechanics thing. Hopefully it's not too- AH! Headache! Really bad headache! Information overload! I feel like I'm going to pass out, but I don't think I can! Argh! ...Huh? It's done? That was odd. One second my brain- wait, I don't have a brain anymore...my core? Sure, whatever, it felt like my core would explode and then it was just gone, like it never happened. Was that supposed to- Oh, there we go. I apparently now know everything in that index by heart. Neat. Hope I never have to go through that again.
