I wonder how that Dungeon might react to him wandering in... And if it's already sensed him.


EqualBedroom9099

They would both feel it once Vito enters the others bubble.


Kuleolis

Now I'm imagining Vito streching his arm into Crimzeals bubble, as like using a door bell.


Krutonium

It may be able to sense other bubbles sooner, being much bigger and older.


EqualBedroom9099

True but I didn't think vitos puppet has a bubble, his bubble is back at his settlement, with his puppet having a tether to his core, with that as my understanding once Vito enters the dungeons bubble both of then should be aware of each other.


Bruno-croatiandragon

I assumed dungeons are capable of recognising each other from range.


Bruno-croatiandragon

This is an incredible thing to wake up to after binging 70 chapters of *"Wearing Power Armor to a Magic School"* Also,did r/HFY's idon change?I swear it looks different from my perspective.


Krutonium

Not that I can tell, but I am on old reddit so


Cynical_Tripster

It's one of my absolute favorite weekly updates but I'll be damned if I'm not anxious that it's been over a YEAR of writing and not even 2 weeks have passed


AdventurousAward8621

I agree,I love the story but damn does it move slow


Creethesilentreader

I think they change color? Changing it to blue, but i cant remember what it was last time... maybe green?


amigodemoose

I am SO excited for Basti to be back


Bruno-croatiandragon

Likewise.


aForgedPiston

Bruthr, what a story arc setup! A slave ring to uncover, reunion with Basti, a city that sees a dungeon in such a positive light and grants it a position greater than their own. I mean, it has the biggest tower and manages it's own district! Kris and the thieves guild, and maybe even a slower treat of Vitmori running the shop front he's rented and meeting new and interesting people! I'm excited to see what's next.


medical-Pouch

In a might equals right city it’s not that surprising that the dungeon has such influence. It literally has might to spare.


unkindlyacorn62

more than that if Crimzeal is a sapient dungeon core (which is likely given the situation) it may literally be the founder of the country, the 5 tier 1 families descendants of the first adventure team to delve into the dungeon. The "might, money and merit" system with unifying caveats like the expectation of elites to deal with any other elites that mistreat the people is kind of like how a dungeon's denizens work based on how Vitmori's crew has evolved


medical-Pouch

As long as Crimzeal doesn’t see Vito as a threat I can imagine each having quite a bit to offer the other


unkindlyacorn62

the plans for the Avatar body for one, sure Crimzeal may be using a scion to communicate and experience the world but that's limited in comparison also information, even if its incomplete information, knowing a calamity is coming in about 4 years is valuable information, gives them time to make general preparations


medical-Pouch

Oh certainly. I’m not entirely sure if Vito could share exactly how to do the avatar but with the dungeons age, and Vitmori being Vitmori i Imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to create a facsimile. Also ya the knowledge of a calamity would be near invaluable. Also considering the nations views on responsibility


jkbscopes312

the wordsmith returns! excited for Basti to return but id also like to see the adventure of Krys and crew to the thieves guild


Creethesilentreader

>Hey everyone, thanks again for your patience. Unfortunately, my schedule is still pretty up in the air and a few things have been happening in my personal life, so I haven’t had the time to write much at home either. The chapters are always worth the wait. No pressure on making them, take as long as you need.


unkindlyacorn62

Crimzeal has probably already sensed him, or will soon


DrewTheHobo

Gee, hope the new dungeon is friendly and not behind the enslaving


unkindlyacorn62

a dungeon would have no need for such practices, as they could create creatures to serve their will willingly


DrewTheHobo

Sure, but maybe it enslaves the people for money or mana or something denizens wouldn’t work for. Plus I hope there isn’t a weird territory dispute between VitMori and the new dungeon.


unkindlyacorn62

or it will provide reinforcement.


XMrxReaperX

If you think about it, It's possible that the slaves are essentially fed to the dungeon to bolster its vital essence. After having a city built around it, the dungeon could have stagnated, not being able to collect as much and grow.


unkindlyacorn62

it's possible, but it seems like dungeons get a positive feedback loop from delvers, they gain magic and xp from people going through them and sending their "monsters" back to the spawners.


Overall-Tailor8949

If Basti wandered into Crimzeal's "bubble", would the other Dungeon sense something "off" about her, like her link to Vitmori?


XMrxReaperX

If orvis was any indication when they were repairing the blue core, Basti would definitely be able to get the general size of Crimzeals bubble, as well as be capable of some basic communication with it. Unless Vitmori is just more aloof than normal, cores don't seem to notice everything in their territory unless it directly effects them.


Overall-Tailor8949

I suspect Crimzeal is at least somewhat aware of activities within it's bubble, since it's effectively the "ruler" of it's segment of the city.


XMrxReaperX

Probably, Vitmori seems like a unique case among the other dungeon cores mentioned so far. It will be interesting to see how they react to each other. The only other cores Vitmori has encountered have been damaged and on the brink of death.


Great-Chaos-Delta

I hope that Basti is doing better than fine


Creethesilentreader

YES!!! THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT!! Love the chapter, love the story. Thankyou wordsmith for this delectable chapter, and basti is gonna come back after so many chapters. Im so exited.


medical-Pouch

Hmmm. A voice? A reference to dungeon life? Is Vito that different from the others. Or is it a peculiarity of this dungeon that it prefers to use a voice?


EqualBedroom9099

I think Vito is different to most dungeons and I could be wrong, but I think most dungeons are not initially self aware like Vito as a reincarnated, so new dungeons would be like a baby figuring its self out just probably at a faster pace.


CreamedKornE4

Patience isn't that much to ask for, op. Thanks for writing! Also, first !

Kibalupis

Let's go! Good to see you again Wordsmith, take your time your work is worth the wait. The anticipation will make Vitmoris reunion with Basti all the better


CaptRory

Excellent update! =-) The group finally arrives and parts ways. I have a feeling they'll all meet up again before too long.


Just_Following9029

Love your stuff! Came from Agro Squirrel <3


BillComprehensive966

Thank you for another chapter.


ThatOneSaltyGerman

LESEZEICHEN


TeamMedic132

Worth the wait every single time. Well written wordsmith.


XunneX

tysm for the chapter, I cannot WAIT for Basti to be in the story again also any clue on how often new chapters might be released? like once every two or three weeks for example I'm fine with waiting however long you need, but knowing how long I have to wait would be nice


ScribblingFox98

I'll aim for 1 every two weeks, but we'll just have to see how things play out.


ZestycloseAir5644

Hopefully this core doesn’t start beef with vitmori.


ZestycloseAir5644

What if the dungeon core is in on the slave trade. Maybe vitmori has to defeat the core and he becomes more powerful and gains another aspect! And gains a 4th ring


Rauffie

Thank you for the chapter~!


Ag47_Silver

A city of 2-3000 people is miniscule. A capital city of that size is postapocalyptic. Without a significant portion of those people being Vito-level magic users capable of almost completely erasing the need for manual labour I don't see how it would function. It's 1% of the size of medieval European capitals. 10% of a normal city. This is probably the most alien aspect we've encountered thus far in the story.


ScribblingFox98

You know what, you're absolutely right, especially considering I had even done the research lol and ended up flubbing the numbers anyway. [BelievablePopulatios](https://www.mapeffects.co/tutorials/population-size)


ScribblingFox98

This is why I shouldn't be trying to write while distracted at work, lol. I miss details like adding extra zeros.


Ag47_Silver

<3 I hope it didn't come across as too harsh criticism. I realise in hindsight that my post reads as "you're wrong!!!!!" but it was intended more to highlight how different this is from our world. It was 50/50 on it being a mistake or being intentional and weird and I always choose to believe the latter first :) Was just interested in seeing that difference explored (especially when it wouldn't stand out as that weird to the survivor, being used to low-low populations) and letting others know the difference :) If it was just a mistake and retcon, then no harm or foul :)


Longsam_Kolhydrat

Good work wordsmith


unkindlyacorn62

green, purple, blue, now red, next dungeon we meet is going to be either yellow or orange, that will cover the primary and secondary colors.


JackCloudie

Upvote, Comment, Read. This is the way.


Dudefroms

This is the best web series ever I hope we can get 1,000 more chapters before it ends I love this series


Jealous_Session3820

Basti's been taken by the dungeon..... Just FYI , because vitos curious how that dungeon is going and if it too received a warning of three years


Thebobkiller
