 No Need for a Core?
comment
No Need For A Core? is a Dungeon Core story published on Royal Road starting in September of 2022, written by Zagaroth.The title is a reference to an 80's anime title, specifically Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, though there are other anime of the time with similar naming styles.This is a character-driven story following three main characters:Mordecai, an ancient 'Sealed Evil' (though not really, he just had a Very Bad Day once) Dungeon Core.Kazue, a young kitsune woman who had recently been reincarnated as a dungeon.And Moriko, a half-elf monk who accidentally set off the chain of events that led to Mordecai's unsealing and the eventual merger of the two dungeon cores, along with a three-way marriage due to pure convenience of using a bonding ritual to give a mutual boost of power for a critical time period.

 No Need for a Core? / int_14e25fef
comment
Magical Counterfeiting: Dungeons that have unlocked the relevant metals can make coins from mana quite easily. However, previous experience has taught Mordecai that upsetting local economies is a bad idea, and only reproduces raw materials or jewelry, never coins. And they also avoid competing with certain rare items that are normally very difficult to reproduce, and otherwise only have a single source.

Little Miss Badass: Shizoku is a side character who is a thirteen-year-old prodigy and a three-tailed kitsune. A trained witch and alchemist and heir presumptive to the clan's Matriarch, she can hit you with a fireball or a flask of acid. Don't mess with the white-haired kitsune witch.

comment
World of Badass: While not quite literally everybody, it could be anybody. Your local alchemy shopkeepers also know how to whip up alchemical bombs, drugs, or other useful items on the fly. The seamstress might know how to use her enchanted needles to sew your limbs to your body. And a harmless gardener may turn out to be a seven-tailed kitsune druid with a cassowary companion.

comment
No One Should Survive That!!: A testament to how much power Mordecai had accumulated. Even in a dormant state, most sealed dungeons would have mana-starved in a period of decades, maybe centuries. Mordecai lasted over two thousand years.

 No Need for a Core? / int_34842047
comment
Dominant Species Genes: Kitsune, at least when they are the mother. In general, mothers have a slightly stronger impact than fathers for mixed traits, but kitsune breed almost true through the maternal line. Sufficient human/elf dilution can cause their base forms to have hybrid traits instead of being anthropomorphic foxes.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 No Need for a Core? / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: A surprise for how bad it was for the dungeon's side when it turns out that Kazue's mother is a seven-tail druid. A few volumes later and the dungeon is able to deliver a remarkably one-sided battle against an army and come out with plenty of resources that hadn't been given a chance to participate.

Sword and Gun: One of the secondary characters specifically uses this as his primary fighting style, in part because of the limited range of black powder weapons, and to give himself cover while he reloads. To then fire from point-blank range.

Down the Rabbit Hole: Played with. One of the dungeon cores adores cute creatures such as rabbits, so rabbits (and cuteness in general) are a common theme in the dungeon, which is technically a hole in the ground.

Black Magician Girl: Kazue is a burgeoning example of this, but her training for the past several months has only just started being put to the test. She's also The Cutie, but she's been training with two certified badasses. So don't expect 'helpless' from this one. An even better example is found in the form of the three-tailed kitsune witch, Shizoku

Extreme Omnivore: A dungeon can absorb and analyze any materials from outside the dungeon, allowing the dungeon to recreate it given that the dungeon has the processing capability and power to do so. Both of these increase as a dungeon grows, and it can later reach the point of being able to reproduce things it initially could only analyze.

Who also sired a daughter with her Yin-Yang Twin Amirume, the Goddess of the Sun. Given that the two goddess are nine-tailed kitsune, they may well have been the ones doing the seducing in this scenario. Just don't bring that up to Mericume.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: While not as extreme as some examples, Kazue is definitely the softy and runs the pacifist path while Mordecai runs the combat path. Moriko is less battle-hardened than Mordecai but is far more willing to solve problems with violence than Kazue. And both are willing to go full Red Oni to protect Kazue. Don't make the Cutie Cry.

And all the protection from unwanted consequences that magic can make happen very conveniently.

Anatomy of the Soul
 No Need for a Core? / int_a19c0517
comment
Anatomy of the Soul: Souls are explicitly the result of True Minds, and once formed can become the matrix in which the mind exists after the body is no longer functioning. The outermost layer of the soul is the Spirit, which is also possed by all living and some non-living creatures that do not have souls. The soul also contains a Soul Core, which acts as a reinforced live-updated backup of the soul, and can wait in a dormant state if the active soul is damaged or destroyed.

Balance Between Good and Evil
 No Need for a Core? / int_a284511d
comment
Balance Between Good and Evil: Averted. While evil may be an inevitable result of an unlimited number of mortal beings having Free Will, that does not mean it is welcome, and the universe is explicitly tilted towards good eventually triumphing over evil. You still have to work for it, but the deities who created this universe have given an edge of karmic luck to benign creatures, and karmic bad luck to malign creatures. This means that those who are most successful at being evil are also those who are careful and crafty, but it also means that they have a well-developed sense of enlightened self-interest.

 No Need for a Core? / int_a2cbad1
comment
Half-Human Hybrid: Applies to more than just humans, enabled thanks to Divine Law and the presence of magic everywhere. Love improves the odds of cross-species copulation producing offspring, and is the reason the gods made sure that it could happen to begin with.

Animate Inanimate Object: Initially the Bookwyrms and Biting Words are just programmed automatons, but due to a dungeon upgrade they gain true sentience/minds, and thus souls.

Familiar: referenced several times, plus a side character has a small slime as a familiar, and both Mordecai and another side character have a familiar-adjacent creature called an Eidolon, though it is more combat focused than a typical familiar.

Color-Coded Characters: Mordecai's core half is Purple in color, and he deliberately gives his avatars dark purple hair. Kazue's core half is gold, and while she keeps her original hair color (Red) she does tend to add gold themes into her clothing. And the clothes of her husband and wife.

Immortality
 No Need for a Core? / int_bf9ed416
comment
Immortality: Some creatures, such as Living Dungeons, are ageless-immortal from creation/birth, but it is technically possible for most mortals to find a mystic path to immortality. It is not an easy path however, and the afterlife is both verified to exist and generally pleasant for most people, so there is less incentive to pursue it than you might think.

Pass the Popcorn: The dungeon eventually develops a War Room, where not only can their favored guests watch other challengers along with the dungeon's avatars, but their more tactically minded inhabitants can watch and take notes on more challenging delving parties. Also, the kitchens are nearby and refreshments are served during the viewing.

Martial Pacifist: In addition to the combat challenges specifically doing their best to be not lethal, the dungeon has two paths to choose from. Or the hidden third route if the dungeon judges a lethal route to be the only available path, though to date it has not been needed as more than a threat if anyone tried to be belligerent about the dungeon's rate-limiting rules. If you don't want to play by the rules, you can always take the third option.

Matriarchy: How the Azeria kitsune clan is ruled. Also explicitly implemented in a way to balance the encoded patriarchy of the Kingdom that the clan is part of. They are to be judge, jury, and if needed, executioners should the ruling king fail to abide by the laws of the kingdom's establishing charter. And a nine-tail kitsune is always present as an advisor to the king, and tutor to the king's children.

Alternative Turing Test: Due to the provable existence of spirits and souls, and the connection of souls to minds, anything that appears to have a mind is presumed to have a true mind and soul. This is a religious doctrine handed down by the deities who created this universe and has carried over into secular law and been incorporated into doctrine by most deities that either arrived later or have risen from mortal origins.

comment
Bigger on the Inside: Dungeon space is malleable; upgrading a room will frequently make it larger on the inside, without changing the amount of space it occupies on a map. The first specific incidence of this is the creation of the Library level, whose ceiling goes much higher than the floor above it would be in normal space.
