The Divine Dungeon Complete Series (The Divine Dungeon #1-5)

She died screaming as her body was ravaged by Mana! That is the honorless people you are making a deal with!” “When was this?” Dale was shocked by the fury in Tom’s voice. Wouldn’t he have heard about this somehow? “Four hundred years ago!” Tom spat to the side. “It has not even passed from living memory yet. It will not, so long as I, my brothers, or my father continue to survive.” “Four hundred years…?” Dale shook his head at the vast time scale. “Why is it so meaningful to you? You are not even close to being that old.” Tom tried to calm down, his hands shaking. “It was my mother. My father’s first wife. No, not the woman who bore me, but all of my Father’s wives are my mother. We are given the memories of all the male children my father has, to tie us together as siblings. You know the power of memory stones. The memories become your own.” “How many childhoods do you have in your head?” Dale was astonished by this revelation. “Fifty,” Tom stated bluntly. “It is needed. To help us train faster, to see the folly of weakness and lethargy. You want to know why we train so hard? One of us… the happiest of us… was allowed a pampered childhood, filled with love and lavished with toys and gifts. That is the first stone we are always given. We are then given memories of how that one died, how weak he was. Then we are trained as true Northmen. Failure is allowed, but weakness is not.”
