A thing to hopefully help me get back into writing so I can work on other projects. Hope you enjoy.

At first, you saw nothing.
This isn't anything new. In fact, you had just died. As the semiboss in the fifth floor of a random dungeon, you were slain by heroes preparing to challenge the Demon King.
Rubbish.
You'll be resurrected shortly, you suppose.
It in fact takes about ten minutes (yes, you counted) before you are suddenly thrust back into the waking world. However, the scenery is... more than a little different. Ahead of you is the entrance to the place you find yourself in, and surrounding you are moss-covered walls. Turning around, you also spot a Dungeon Core, a blueish-white crystal sitting on a purple pedestal. You gape quietly, before a notification appears in the corner of your vision. Again, ordinary. Such things are the norm for this world, however it's the contents that astound you.
{Fifteen Years as Semi-Boss achieved. Promotion acquired. Title "Dungeon Master" acquired. Welcome, new Master.}
... To use a human turn of phrase;
Well shit.
