《Me! Zombie! Summoned to Another World!》Chapter 29: There Are Monsters In The Underground World
Advertisement
I seem to have escaped...
I seem to have escaped the siege of Mountain Goblins.
Although it seems to be temporary now, I have finally distanced myself from those crazy Mountain Goblins.
In addition to this idea, there was another idea that came along with it in my head.
This seemed to be a new underground world? !
As soon as this idea appeared in my mind, I couldn't take it back.
This world was filled with all sorts of magical things, magic, dragons, dwarves, goblins, night demons...
These were all things that could only be found in books and myths on Earth in my previous life. However, it was very common here.
So if another underground world like the Dungeons and Dragons appeared, although I was surprised, I could still accept it.
Looking at my surroundings, although there was little light, I could still see everything around me clearly.
Other than the strange rocks and some darkness, it was almost no different to normal land.
There were also some plants and flowers.
What allowed me to see my surroundings clearly was the plants in these 'caves'.
These plants were different from the outside world. Not only did they have different shapes, they were very strange. They also had a completely different characteristic from the plants in the outside world. Not only did they not absorb light for their own energy, instead, they released light in this extremely dim cave.
This caused the place, which hadn't seen light for many years, to actually have a trace of light. It not only allowed this underground world to take shape, but it also allowed me to see everything around me clearly.
When I looked up at everything around me, I discovered that this underground world was very spacious. I could only see four or five directions, which could withstand a long time of exploration.

Unfortunately, I was still being hunted by the mountain goblins. If it was safe here, I would definitely bring Regulus to explore the area, to see if there were any materials or animals that could be used to create undead.
Now, the mountain goblins that could appear at any time were still a sword hanging above my head. They could fall down at any time and kill me.
I looked at the hole above my head. It was the same hole that I had fallen into previously.
It was the result of the powerful fireball spell that Regulus had cast after using the energy of more than ten magic crystal stones.
Don't look at the hole now. Other than stones, there was nothing else. But I knew that it was because the mountain goblins had been stunned by the fireball spell and had yet to react.
But when they reacted, they would definitely seek revenge for their kind.
With so many goblins crammed into the cave before, Regulus' fireball spell didn't kill all of them, but at least 80-90% of them died, which was more than a hundred people.
It might even be more than that.
So now, I had to run.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, there were four or five directions to run.
Which direction should I go?
East? South? West...
After thinking for a while, I ran directly in front of myself. I didn't struggle with which direction to choose.
Although, I knew that there were probably many dangerous creatures in this underground world, I could faintly hear the strange cries of the mountain goblins.
The situation was extremely urgent, so I could only run in a random direction.
I could only hope that my luck was good enough and that I wouldn't encounter any ferocious underground mystical creatures.

"Eh Eh..."
They're here? !
As expected, I had only run less than 50 meters ahead before hearing the goblins' cries coming from the direction of the cave entrance behind me.
I turned around to take a look. As expected, the cave entrance was already surrounded by many earth-gray coloured figures.
I didn't look too much. After I knew that the goblin pursuers had arrived, I immediately quickened my pace and ran forward.
I saw those mountain goblins and they naturally saw me.
"Yi Yi..."
"Yi Yi Ah..."
Those mountain goblins saw me running away from the cave entrance, so they all cried out in excitement.
After seeing my back, some of them picked up rocks and was prepared to throw them at me. Some of them even rolled up their sleeves and prepared to jump down...
"Hohoho..."
Just as they were about to take action, a low and deep cry sounded from behind them.
The originally noisy goblins all quieted down when they heard this voice. Even the goblins who were excited to come down to kill me were all as quiet as quails at this moment.
They all looked behind them as if there was some important person about to appear. They all retreated to the sides to make way for the person who came.
After a while, a gray goblin appeared behind the goblins. However, it was wearing clothes made of feathers, and it held a strange 'walking stick' in its hand.
Goblin priest? !
Only when the goblin tribe numbered in the tens of thousands would a goblin leader appear.
The goblin priest arrived at the entrance to the underground world. He looked at me, who was running away, and gritted his teeth, looking extremely resentful.
However, he carefully looked at the inside of the entrance and looked in the direction of the entrance. A fearful expression appeared on his face.
It was obvious that there was something in this underground world that even the goblin priest felt was troublesome.
On one side was an invader, and on the other side was an enemy from the underground world.
"Eh..."(go back and block the entrance!)
The Goblin priest thought for a while, but decided to order everyone to retreat and block this hole.
He felt that there was no need to take such a big risk for an intruder. The monsters of the underground world were not to be trifled with.
Perhaps, the monsters of the underground world would help them get rid of this guy without them having to do anything.
The goblin priest asked everyone to leave, leaving only a few to repair the cave.
Some mountain goblins looked at the cave, still gritting their teeth.
But after the priest gave the order, all the goblins slowly retreated.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
