You woke up in a black void. Panic filled you as got up and began to look around in a panic. No, no! You shouldn't be here yet! You didn't even die yet! You shouldn't be able to meet her yet! But as you kept looking around, your heart pounding as your mind scrambled to understand why you were here in this void where she resided. Shadowy arms wrapping around you like a hangman's noose as her repeated claims of love flooded your eyes like a deluge, you eventually began to notice something.
She... She wasn't here. No feelings of an obsessive love that crushes you, no words that kept repeating non-stop. No arms wrapping around you, and no force pulling you back into the last checkpoint. None of those things were here, all that was here was just you. Alone.
You would think that it would bring you comfort but no, if it anything it just worsened it as you began to panic, your breathing becoming heavy and erratic as your eyes darts everywhere, trying to find some sort of threat around here, being reminded of Todd Fang. As you did, you overlook your memories to see if there was anything you can pick up from them.
Your name is Subaru Natsuki. You were a regular person who was on his way home from the local convince store, when you found yourself in another world. And find yourself on a new life filled with ups and downs, with the downs being more numerous thanks to Return By Death.
From what you last remember you....
[ ] Being sealed with Beatrice by a person you could call friend. (Subaru during Arc 9 AU.)
[ ] The final battle against... who was it? You think it was the Witch Cult but you are not sure. (Subaru from a What If.)
You heard a small groan. snapping to see your contracted and cute Spirit, Beatrice, or Beako as you called her sometimes, next to you, unconscious. Needless to say, you were quick to her side, checking over her and trying to wake her up, as it seems thankfully, she was still alive, though his attempts of waking her up was futile so far, but he had to wake her up, maybe she knew what was going.
"She won't have the answer you seek." A voice stated, causing Subaru to turn around, trying to find it. "But I do, Mr. Natsuki. Please, allow me to introduce myself." And then, something appeared as though it was always there.
You stared at the thing in front of you. Your mind trying to describe it.
The closest thing you can say if someone made a teu teru boze gothic with a black feather robes and a cracked stone helmet.
"Greetings. Allow me to introduce myself. I am your Patron; you can refer to me as Pleiades. A pleasure to meet you and your unconscious friend." The figure introduce himself, hand on his 'chest' and giving a bow.
You are so confused by this as you tried to process what is going, and Pleiades noticed, giving an embarrassed chuckle. "Sorry, I didn't intend to jump this on you. I should have been aware of your confusion." He then snapped his fingers, and you found yourself on a chair and Beatrice sleeping on a comfy bed. "Let me explain things, if you don't mind." Pleaides began his explanation of his purpose and what Labyrinth was.
So, to sum up Labyrinths, they are essentially Dungeons from the anime and games you read, created with the purpose of advancing civilizations they come across. Patrons were basically 'sponsors' so to speak. Providing Labyrinths were a variety of benefits depending on them. And you have one offering you to become a Labyrinth. For your benefit as well as his.
However, you hesitated to accept his deal. Something was up, and you weren't sure what it is yet, and you asked why, why do this to you? Even with what you had done, you still didn't believe you were able to get off without others, so why you? Why not Julius? Emilia-Tan? Hell, Reinhard was a better choice.
The figure stated silent, before you could ask again, Pleiades 'smiled' at you, and simply said one thing. Just one, but one that surprise you.
"Because you are the one I trust to be able to achieve great things." That was all he said, but it was enough to convince you somehow. Was it because of pride or not wanting to disappoint anyone? Regardless, you accepted it, hopefully to return home with your friends and maybe even your parents. Maybe it was too much, but it was always best to hope.
The Deal set, and you were converted into a new being, with Beatrice joining you as Pleaides assured you, she will be with you as a helper. Just like always, you thought with a smile as you fell into sleep as Pleaides bid you good luck and when you wake up, you would find yourself somewhere new, and ready to begin.
Welcome to a new attempt at a dungeon core quest starring Subaru Natsuki as a Dungeon Core inspired by Labyrinth of Refrain/Galleria and other stuff with the help of my awesome friend @Kalibrius. I am going to improve where my last attempt was but going to try and return to that one when I can, same with my other Re:Zero quest which will probably be before the Labyrinth of Colombia quest. Also, if you are curious for the Mature Flair, it is for the both the usual sex stuff that may happen, and mostly because of the usual Re:Zero horror, both mental and otherwise.
So, with that, let the show begin, where shall Subaru land and what shall be the first tree he has?
Where shall Subaru land?
[ ] Elden Ring
[ ] Bloodborne
[ ] Warhammer 40k
[ ] Warhammer Fantasy
[ ] Dragon Age
[ ] Nasuverse
[ ] Cyberpunk 2077
[ ] Honkai Star Rail
What shall be the first tree?

[X] The final battle against... who was it? You think it was the Witch Cult but you are not sure. (Subaru from a What If.)
[X] Cyberpunk 2077
[X] Have A Nice Death
It's the year 2077, and things have gone to shit as society advanced with science growing as Cybernetics formed, but then Corporations began to get power, caused a lot of wars and basically things are shit. You want the full story, then look it up yourself Choom! I ain't going over the history only some punk cares about!
You're here for the juicy stuff, then welcome to Night City Choom! The City of Dreams, where Legends are born. Or are put in a body bag, hehehe. Here, Corpos play their games, from Araska to the various minor groups trying to get up on the ladder, a single mistake and boom! You're gonna be flatlined.
Then there are the Gangs, from the Voodoo Boys messing with the Black Wall, the Tyger Claws, Scavs, there are all kinds of Gangs. Not to mention the fixers, Mercs and their Fixers, and I haven't even gotten started Choom! Trust me, there are all kinds of crazies who use their chrome for all kinds of shit!
Hell, there are those who got so chromed up they became borgs like Adam Smasher or just go Pyscho. Hehehehe, Life ain't never boring here in this place eh?
Oh, me? You're asking about me choom? Heh, well, consider me an interested guy. Can't wait to see what you can do.
Now, time for you to wake the fuck up, you have a city to burn....
You woke up from that really weird dream. Like seriously, who was that guy? Before you could question more on that you heard the sound of a very familiar cute yawn.
"Hwaaaaa~ What happened, I suppose?" Beatrice said as she stretched herself adorably.
"Beako!" You shouted as you slammed into her, giving her a hug making her squawk in surprise from that.
"What are you doing!? This is too early for that I suppose!"
"I am just so happy you're okay!" Subaru said as he hugged his beloved Spirit who was confused on what was going on. Subaru would explain later, but for now, he will just be content with cuddling her, eventually, she got out and demanded an explanation, which Subaru tried his best to explain their situation.
Needless to say, Beatrice was currently trying to process this. You decided to wonder when you job as this Labyrinth will--
You and Beatrice screamed at the electronic and chippy voice that came out of nowhere, Beatrice leaping into your arms for safety.
You just nodded, more out of reflex then actual understanding, as Beatrice was stammering and muttering as she was clearly frightened by the voice.
"Well, I guess what I said is true eh Beako?" You said with a nervous smile as she just stared at you at that as the voice laughed at this, well someone is enjoying themselves.
"Tree." You said, and you were greeted with a screen that showed the Tree. And you had to wonder once more if there were some sort of cosmic force laughing at you. For the tree was called Have A Nice Death.
Oh, there is someone laughing at you, you just know it. Ah well, let's just read it first.
[Have a Nice Death is a tree that is focuses on killing and preserving enemies. This is translated into two ways a Labyrinth can do with this tree. The easy way, which is simply killing the enemy, while the hard but more rewarding by not killing them before their time, but still causing them to lose. However, please be aware that due to negotiations, this makes you a branch of Death Inc. While you will be busy, you will be compensated with a weekly income of DP.]
As you finished reading it, you felt a trio of gazes upon on you. One was of frustration, the other a mixture of annoyance and pity? You think its pity. And the last one is amusement.
Why do you always end up with these sorts of situation? Coming from a war with missing memories, to turning into a dungeon that is now part of something that sounds like a villain group's name in the stuff you read. Well, no use complaining you suppose. Let's see how this works out.
Alrighty, here is the Tutorial!
With that done, let's begin the Votes! I would recommend plans, but whatever floats your boats! Let the fun begin! Starting with units and structures first, but more will be added over time.
MP: 100/100
DP: 100/100
AN: Apologies for the wait, but here it is. Hope you guys enjoy this one. Take your time to vote and be sure to give your thoughts and what not, and just have fun! Also don't be afraid to ask any questions if you feel confused or lost.

[HELLO!]
HOLYSHITWHATWASTHAT?!
You and Beatrice screamed at the electronic and chippy voice that came out of nowhere, Beatrice leaping into your arms for safety.
[OH SORRY ABOUT THAT! JUST VERY EXCITED TO BEGIN OUR FIRST DAY!]
You just nodded, more out of reflex then actual understanding, as Beatrice was stammering and muttering as she was clearly frightened by the voice.
"Well, I guess what I said is true eh Beako?" You said with a nervous smile as she just stared at you at that as the voice laughed at this, well someone is enjoying themselves.
[OH I CAN TELL WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN! OH, I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.]
[ahem]
[I AM WHO WITHOUT A NAME, AM A BEING CREATED TO AIDE YOU, THE LABYRINTH IN YOUR PURPOSE AND JOURNEY. I AM THE SYSTEM.]
[LET'S GET ALONG~]
Well. after that frankly, ominous introduction, you decided to see if it was possible to view the outside as the System explained to Beatrice of what is going and answering any questions she has. You may need to call the System something because you can't keep calling it the System. Anyways, let's see what you got as a tree as the System (Going to really need to name it soon.) Plus, you can also see where you were, if only the basics.[ahem]

Why do you always end up with these sorts of situation? Coming from a war with missing memories, to turning into a dungeon that is now part of something that sounds like a villain group's name in the stuff you read. Well, no use complaining you suppose. Let's see how this works out.
====================
Alrighty, here is the Tutorial!
First up, the dungeon core, referred to as Labyrinth as it was inspired by Labyrinth of Refrain/Galleria, is basically a mix of a normal dungeon and the Mystery Dungeons from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. It is, in essence, a mixture of dimensional bridge and a living murder hole known as a dungeon. The structure of the dungeon is spilt into three categories.
First is the Maze, the outer layer of the Labyrinth, an ever-shifting maze that is like Mystery Dungeons with procedurally generated dungeons and where most details take place. They are divided between each layer, with each layer having an anchor and a barrier. To pass the barrier you must successfully complete the Anchor. The Labyrinth's own magic allows it to do anything everywhere for a simple catch. However, the farther from the Core, the weaker the magic is compared to its full power.
Anchor: A place that is akin to a typical structured dungeon. This is where you set up a Structure up and invest in it. Each anchor is connected to an associated reality and invokes its physics for the Labyrinth, this also means the Maze and Cradle gets access to the associated Tree so long as it is working. Anchors have a core that one can attune to in order to get past the Maze layer barrier to the next Layer. Anchors can be damaged and if sufficiently so can lead to... disconnecting from the reality of the anchor and can increase the chances of Rogue Entity Formation in that Mazer Layer until it is fixed.
Cradle: The innermost area of the Labyrinth where the Core is protected. Here is where the Labyrinth makes its final attempt to repel intruders before they reach the Core, in which it can and will throw everything it has to offer at foes. This is also where the Core Guardian resides, i.e., the Apex and Final Boss of the Labyrinth, and the Core (you) itself.... which is not as helpless as it seems and can launch attacks at full strength at any who dare face it. (Think something like this)
Next up are the Stats of a Labyrinth, which differ from the usual stats of a human and anything similar. There are 10 Stats for a Labyrinth.
The first is Territory, which is how big and difficult it is to traverse across the layers. It will be divided per Labyrinth layer, making it harder to find the Anchors for each Layer.
The second is Hostility, how aggressive the environment itself is against the Intruders (also known as Delvers or Infiltrators) and empowers the effectiveness of traps as well.
The third being Forces, which is how effective your units are and how in tune they are with you.
4th next is Ecosystem, how beneficial the environment to your units, how cheap units are and how hard to damage it is by intruders.
Value is the fifth as shows how useful the loot have is useful for your units and how likely you are to attract intruders.
6th is Awareness, a mixture of foresight, detection of internal situations and finding Intruders.
7th Concentration is basically how much mana you have, how concentrated it is in the Labyrinth, how strong your magic is at the moment and how swiftly you can corrupt Intruders.
8th Control. How much control you have over the Labyrinth, your forces and how likely rogue entities and similar will occur.
9th is Benevolence, rather surprising I know, it's how safe environment is for non-hostile intruders, how likely fauna and flora will enter the Labyrinth and how long that the Delvers will stay.
Finally, the 10th stat is Processing. It shows how complicated plans can get, more quicker magic casting, how many battles you can manage at once, more successful research and how likely you can learn from and copy from the Delvers.
These stats are what is going to help you out throughout this quest. More will be explained later on. For now, here is the rest of the tutorial.
Features of the Labyrinth, what they are and what they do:
Fauna: Non-hostile living beings of the Labyrinth, which also includes mechanical and similar existences. They also include sapient beings who provide services to the Labyrinth.
Flora: Non-hostile plant life of the Labyrinth.
Units: The guardians and protectors of the Labyrinth
Greater Units: The sapient champions of the Labyrinth who leads its forces and enact its will.
Upgrades: Rather self-explanatory, it is divided between upgrading units or some other aspect of the Labyrinth, such as Core Guardian, the Core itself, Greater Units, loots, ect.
Research: Write in stuff for getting further access from the Anchor Trees.
Loot: The resources of the Labyrinth that it can use to make things and equipment for its Units.
Traps: Self explanatory, ranges from hostile plant life, infrastructure and dangerous loot ranging from lethal, capture to corrupting trap types.
Structures: Buildings that are divided between Maze, the Anchors, and the Cradle itself. These buildings provide a variety of functions and bonuses to the Labyrinth.
Perks: The Physics from various anchors that allows for gimmicks and similar phenomenon to be implemented into the Labyrinth.
Magic: What the Labyrinth can do. Starts with the creation of Loot and Units but will soon expand as the Labyrinth learns from its units via research and Observing Delvers.
Manufacture: Use the loot you have to build something.
Requirements: Certain features require certain things in order to work. This can range to being vague or being very specific.
Shop: The place to go when you need things... for a price of course by decreasing of resources available or by DP.
Schema: What you create, the blueprints so to speak. Can be purchased from the shop as well. It is used to unlock Units, Structures, Fauna, Flora and Loot.
Currency, the money you use to buy stuff:
MP (Magic Points): What is used to create Structures, Units, Traps, Loot and Cast Magic.
DP (Dungeon Points): What is needed to acquire new Schema.
Current Magic:
Creation: Aka the magic of creating things and modifying your domain.
Scrying: Spying magic. Used to figure out what is going on outside and finding details of Intruders. Also, when used to uncover Infiltrators, it will cost MP. Also allows the Interlude stuff.

9th is Benevolence, rather surprising I know, it's how safe environment is for non-hostile intruders, how likely fauna and flora will enter the Labyrinth and how long that the Delvers will stay.
Finally, the 10th stat is Processing. It shows how complicated plans can get, more quicker magic casting, how many battles you can manage at once, more successful research and how likely you can learn from and copy from the Delvers.
These stats are what is going to help you out throughout this quest. More will be explained later on. For now, here is the rest of the tutorial.
Features of the Labyrinth, what they are and what they do:
Fauna: Non-hostile living beings of the Labyrinth, which also includes mechanical and similar existences. They also include sapient beings who provide services to the Labyrinth.
Flora: Non-hostile plant life of the Labyrinth.
Units: The guardians and protectors of the Labyrinth
Greater Units: The sapient champions of the Labyrinth who leads its forces and enact its will.
Upgrades: Rather self-explanatory, it is divided between upgrading units or some other aspect of the Labyrinth, such as Core Guardian, the Core itself, Greater Units, loots, ect.
Research: Write in stuff for getting further access from the Anchor Trees.
Loot: The resources of the Labyrinth that it can use to make things and equipment for its Units.
Traps: Self explanatory, ranges from hostile plant life, infrastructure and dangerous loot ranging from lethal, capture to corrupting trap types.
Structures: Buildings that are divided between Maze, the Anchors, and the Cradle itself. These buildings provide a variety of functions and bonuses to the Labyrinth.
Perks: The Physics from various anchors that allows for gimmicks and similar phenomenon to be implemented into the Labyrinth.
Magic: What the Labyrinth can do. Starts with the creation of Loot and Units but will soon expand as the Labyrinth learns from its units via research and Observing Delvers.
Manufacture: Use the loot you have to build something.
Requirements: Certain features require certain things in order to work. This can range to being vague or being very specific.
Shop: The place to go when you need things... for a price of course by decreasing of resources available or by DP.
Schema: What you create, the blueprints so to speak. Can be purchased from the shop as well. It is used to unlock Units, Structures, Fauna, Flora and Loot.
Currency, the money you use to buy stuff:
MP (Magic Points): What is used to create Structures, Units, Traps, Loot and Cast Magic.
DP (Dungeon Points): What is needed to acquire new Schema.
Current Magic:
Creation: Aka the magic of creating things and modifying your domain.
Scrying: Spying magic. Used to figure out what is going on outside and finding details of Intruders. Also, when used to uncover Infiltrators, it will cost MP. Also allows the Interlude stuff.
With that done, let's begin the Votes! I would recommend plans, but whatever floats your boats! Let the fun begin! Starting with units and structures first, but more will be added over time.

Ghost: The bottom of Death, Inc. Ghosts are considered the numerous faceless, on the account of their heads being replaced with flames, grunts that roam the Labyrinth. They can be found anywhere in any Department, attacking intruders by taking deep breath and expelling a burst of flames. They are also not subject to Death, Inc.'s undead worker labor agreement and are just dieseasonial workers. Cost 5 MP.
Pyroghosts: Ghosts are not the type to express any emotion beyond boredom and indifference, but these fiery ladies are the exception. After doing hundreds upon hundreds of repeating the same mundane tasks over and over again, they feel nothing but frustration, resulting in a blazing flame erupting from their tired faces. They feel so much frustration that they spit fireballs as a result. Cost 10 MP.
Flying Books: A result of what one of the employees refer to as the 'Atrocious Curse of Bitter Documentation" (ACBD for short), where books, binders, folders and the like come to life when not consulted and take out their bitterness around everyone, starting with insults before finally projectile vomiting its contents like a missile. Cost 5 MP.
Spooksmen: All things have hierarchy in Death, Inc. and ghosts are no different as their superiors are the Spooksmen. These large ghosts formed from frustration, have a method that showcases their preference over modern methods when displaying their mangement skills.

Morticulturalists: Necromatic puppets approved by the CEO of Death, Inc. to tend to the gardens. These scarecrows with their shears stuck to the brain use said gardening tools to cut through intruders and greenery and also act as sharks as well. Cost 10 MP.

First it was the structures that began to pop up. First was the Biome: Hall of Eternity. It was a large white marble hall that seemed to stretch into infinity, you felt your head aching as you tried to gain a good look as the offices, cluttered with various items and papers, popped up like balloons as the Mortis Greenhouse quickly grew into existence as plant life grew like weeds! ...Okay, that wasn't your best joke but your still processing this current state of events as best you can as the industrial coffin-like rooms came in to serve as rooms for the janitors as you saw the van, probably Mark's shop if you remember its description, appear and began to drive around as you can see what you assume to be Mark leaning on out waving at you.
Well, he seems nice you thought, before you felt the final two Structure emerge to integrate with the Labyrinth. First was the Addictions Departments and oh wow. Like... you knew it was crazy, but you thought it was just playing with the whole drug trips people go on, but dear God!
It's like MC Escher did a collab with Salvador Deli and both were extremely high! Like seriously, half of the stuff is just physics on a day-off and the rest is just... eyeballs and stuff. Like a lot of stuff.
You shook your head as the units soon began to pop in.
Ghosts with flaming heads began to pop into existence as they looked around before heading to work. Most were females who quickly went floating around, fists clenched in anger as the more smaller male ghosts just wandered around.
The Morticulturalists began to rise up, first as wooden skeletons and then flesh draping over them all loose and such, having large shearing implying their heads, they blankly looked around, just standing there.
It was honestly creepy. Maybe you should send them to the Greenhouses later. Your Greater Unit is just forming after all. It started with energy suddenly gathering together to form a large demonic figure. You watched as Beatrice looked tense, ready to do something if the newest Unit was finally formed.
A great roar shook the room as the demonic figure, remnisecnt of some the gargoyles you had seen before getting Isekai'd. Arms outstreched, you were ready for anything it did if it was going to be hostile.
Instead, it whipped out some glasses and got into a salute that has look like it has been practised and reharsed way too many times, and he now seem a lot shyer. "H-Hello th-there sir and madam. Br-Br-Bradley Pr-Pr-Pr-Proudfoot is here!" He said with a nervous smile as he let out a loud audible gulp.
You and Beatrice looked at the gargoyle, who seemed to shiver a bit at your gazes, then at the image the System had of the Unit. It was a gargoyle in shades and an open Hawaiin shirt. Then back to the nerd looking gargoyle.
What the hell is going?
"It seems that the System forgot to include that you were getting one of young Bradford's many brothers." A voice said, and you nodded, yeah, what the hell Sys...te..m....
Who was that? You turned around and saw a giant coffin with a figure mostly covered in darkness with a few of his features, like his long bony limbs, the large book he had, the lower half of his face, his ghost-white eyes with no pupils, and a grin that was too wide to be on any human's face.
"Oh, I do like the expression, the fear of what you think might happen. Allow to confirm those fears as those fears will most likely happen." The figure said with one of his hands moving. "But where are my manners? I am Mr. O'Shah. The Health and Safety Inspector, I do hope we get along, especially as the first day is going to begin." He finished with his book gone somewere and his hands clasped together in sadistic glee.
"What the hell are you-" Before you finsihed the question, something happened that caught you off. One moment it was just you, Beatrice, the System, Bradley and O'Shah, next thing you knew, you were surrounded by various peoples that looked like they stepped out some of Cyberpunk comic.
"What the hell is this?"
"Where am I?"
"Is this beyond the Blackwall?"
"Oh what sort of shit do those corpo gonks doin' now!?"
"Hey! Anyone seen my son!? His name is David, please! Is he here!? Is he safe!?"
You looked around in confusion as the sounds of panic was heard as O'Shah smiled. "Well Sir, it seems the newly arrived Souls are here. Time to do some work. I left the papers on your desk already." He said with a demonic grin as you felt something died.
This is hell, it has to be.
