《Dungeon Core Online: Loremaster (fan fic)》DCO: Loremaster ch 2

Advertisement

Terrance closed the book he was reading and sighed. It has been a full in-game day since he came to the decision of his long term goal, find the lore of the bosses. In fact, many others are much farther ahead of him than he initially thought. Many people love a good story, and he found many who do have recorded several things with their interactions with the first-floor boss.

Old man Jenkins was a farmer in his previous life, before the dungeon, his farm been in his family since it was homesteaded back in the 1800s. Each generation maintaining the traditions of those before. Sure some branched off to do their own thing, but throughout time at least one Jenkins have been working the same farm all that time. Considering automation, and the real world similarities of some of the dug up history, such as the corn plague fifty years ago, the ai must be using some real-life similarities to fill in the lore.

In the end, Old man Jenkins’s background is that he is a mid-west farmer. Not too exciting, truth be told, but Terrance was not going to settle with boring. He could tell the dungeon master ai had plans for this story arc. Why else would he say his last name is Jenkins in the recent dungeon war. So his plan became to find out about the bosses from the horse’s mouth, as it were. If the dungeon ever got a horse boss then it could become quite literal, who knows in the random dungeon.

---------------------

Terrance spent the rest of the night doing research on common pathing for the boss and mobs before the time of immersion ended. The next day went very uneventful and the wait of an in-game day before dungeon diving could start was mostly spent waiting in line and doing a review on his notes on the mobs and pather. Terrance quickly got slotted into an instance where one group was diving into the third level and all but five others were going to the second floor. This allowed a high spawn count for the level 1 players and a modest competition for the level 2 goers.

It took Terrance half an hour for the boss to finally path his direction. When the dungeon first opened the boss would roam completely randomly, but after the war, patterns were recognized. For starter, the boss would often come to the barn or one of the silos to drop off any of the farm’s resources. One of the boss’s quests actually involves defending the silos from players who come to pillage them. After the boss dropped his load into the barn he came back out with his cornhusk pipe in his hand as he puffed on it. Terrance waited for the boss to initiate the conversation. “ A well mannered young man you are. Care to help me on my farm a bit?”

Terrance smiled and nodded happily. The boss then gave Terrance another lookover. “ Not much of a fighter, are you? No matter, take this.”

Quest: Farmhand
