there are many people who have been asking about the (MC)’s bio. i wont release that detail any time soon. it is a sub plot for ironic reasons.
A rather dry chapter >.<
----------------------------------------
“Sheesh. Why do i even bother.” Upon seeing the Idiot finally coming online after 30 minutes and reaching my Dungeon.
“That is because you need me and my superior intellect of 160”
“It feels more like a 60. You keep laughing until you disconnected.”
“I am definitely a 160. I have a heightened sensitivity that's all.” came the indignante reply.
“Right. I have heightened sensitivity too. For bullshit. And right now, it is sending me all kinds of warning telling me that you are full of it.”
“Well, this guy you say that is bullshitting just got himself a date thanks to you.”
“Bull Shit.”
“Or why do you think it took me 30 minutes to come online. Remember the medic chick i told about from the last episode? I got her on a date.”
“So what is her name? You have yet to tell me her name even saying so much about her. “
With a dreamy look in his eyes,“Liana. Her name is Liana. Just like her name in spanish. My god has answered.”
“And just like her name, she will wrap you round her finger and suck you dry.”
Alex wriggles his eyebrow in amusement. “I would not mind her Sucking me dry if you get what I mean”
“You do know that I am the Dungeon and I can see you. If it were anything else it would look odd for a guy to do that at thin air.”
“No worries. It is actually fairly common. Once you get your avatar you will be able to see how common it is. It is just like how a person uses hands free when talking on the phone except they include visuals now.”
“ You do know that I won't be able to do the same until my avatar is made. One good thing about being a dungeon, more than 80% of the time you are tinkering with the layout of the dungeon. Each new upgrade grants me another planning nightmare”
“I heard Dungeon players have issue with mana regeneration. Is that an issue for you too?”
“It was for me. Until i realize the power of the title Arboretum. The combination with Allure and it kept piling bodies in my Dungeon and bodies give mana when absorbed. This barely supports my expansion and if i go up in tier, i am sure i will constantly hit 0 mana when summoning. I am going to level that up again to support my mana growth.. I think Allure has a hidden attribute to increase population. Orgies, succubus and monster invasion. They all help some how. Just that it is not to everyone’s taste. As for plants? All that it attracts are birds, be. and herbivores. I only noticed it when i realize i am still not out of mana after a long period of tinkering. It is all about the efficiency right now. Care to try out my Dungeon?”
“Anything you want to warn me about?”
“You brought awakening?”
“Yes.”
“I hope you brought enough to reach the boss room.”
“I am not too worried about that. My class is the arcanist. I am omnipotent. I am level 24 anyway. Tier 1 monster can’t harm me.”
“Sure. if you say so.”
~~~~ 10 minutes later~~~~
“That is such a cheat. You burned your way through. You even burned the herbs because you were lazy to go chase after them.”
“What do you expect? Run after them and fall into your traps? It cost way too much to do this though. I used up 8 mana potions in just 3 rooms. You have 1 more room and 1 boss room right? Let’s see how far i can go with 15 mana potions. Seriously, the
“What kind of players will come into my dungeon if you were to say?”
“Gatherers. Or at least with what you currently have. Low level players and NPC will come in to gather the Eternal Sleep, Flower of Fragrance and other herbs as they are easier to get and sell than equipments. I am pretty sure your main crowd is NPC. The last i check, the largest and most popular Dungeon has only 60% being players. In this game the NPC are the OP ones. The Gods seems to have too much free time and throw out blessings all the time and seems to be everywhere. It is actually hard to kill NPC if they made a prayer. The gods would leave some stuff behind as compensation usually. Those are just little things and would usually be useless as they will be a one time dungeon consumable.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Remember the sign, if a NPC Party enters your Dungeon and survive and leave, your fame will go up as they will talk about the sign. The NPCs are highly religious so unlike other Dungeon players, you already have an advantage.”
“Would that not cause my dungeon to be flooded with NPC? My dungeon would not respawn fast enough for them.”
“Do you ever check the Forums? Never mind. This gracious superior intellect of 160 will surf the forums for you from now on as it seems that your puny brain is apparently unable to. There is no need for you to be so worried? They respawn back after about 5 minutes anyway. You only have 1 floor. Wait until you have 3 floors. The respawn times will start to get shorter, the boss room will only allow 1 group to pass at anytime. meaning that in each level of higher difficulty, the number of party decreases. Always allowing people to harvest as they get deeper into your Dungeon.”
Somehow or rather I am worried. With not much offensive abilities how am I going to kill if they survive my status effects. “i hope you are right.”
“Right or not I have 7 more mana potions to burn through before I leave the Dungeon. Your Dungeon is too young to give me much exp and too annoy to solo for most people. Come to think of it, there is a perfect group of people for your Dungeon.”
“Really?” My figurative ears immediately perked up. Who would not like to know what is the best prey.
~~~~after a dramatic long pause~~~
“There is a group who has no money and no exp. Are smart and they are reckless. They will rush into your dungeon in a mad bid to harvest as much as possible.”
“Who?”
“The super newbies” they have nothing to fear and they are out to earn their gear. They always start at harvesting because gear is expensive to buy and your Dungeon is almost perfect for them. 2-3 run of the various herbs and their gear will keep them alive to hunt for Eternal Sleep where the real money really starts coming in. About 80% will not survive the first run for Eternal Sleep due to
“Normal condition?”i looked at Alex feeling very much perplexed.
“Rigged Popcorns”
“What is wrong with the rigged popcorns?” Alex waited as it finally dawned on me “They… oh.. Ok it is annoying. I did not think of that. Spam popcorns and trigger as much effects as possible.”
“This prank of the gods really can really take its toll on people. Be careful. Do not abuse it. The gods are whimsical and pull back on the blessing when abused or when they feel like it. There apparently is a Dungeon built around a blessing. it abused that blessing. that blessing was lifted because the gods got angry as their believers kept dying and it was due to their blessing. That Dungeon gained another curse called God’s Wrath.
OUCH that is a big setback. I wonder if he remade the account in the end.
Those are just some big penalties.
