...

……You have leveled up X1

Looking into the dungeon from the 3rd person view, i could see my minions wandering around like drones, still better than no defence. The only ironic thing is that once in awhile they would fall for the traps themselves and die. In this 3rd person view, i could see everyone’s health bar it was rather different watching the game move along as a dungeon instead of a player. The worse part, it is boring as hell. They did warn me when i selected to be dungeon though. Bored, i started playing a minigame provided by the company for dungeon players. They called it .

~~~~~

What basically happens is that there is a marked mouse running around in the dungeon and you are supposed to find it. As the mouse dashes about the dungeon, you are supposed to change the dungeon to push the mouse into the boss room. They do not get caught in traps and would run about until caught. You get exp for the time and effort you take to do so. The game continues to 2 marked mouse and continues to double each level. Some players tried to cheat by changing it to just have 1 room. That plan worked well or so they thought. Because there was no difficulty in that, they doubled until the entire room was filled. And that is when the problems start arriving. Ever seen mouse infestation? A mad rush of mouse leaving the dungeon meant a big NPC squad of exterminator came and clear out the mouse. In the meantime, you can stop the minigame but there is nothing you can do about the mouse. You can’t even change the layout of your dungeon. When they arrive and clear out your dungeon of the mouse, you lose 2 levels as you have been conquered by the NPC. also you will gain infamy depending on the number of mouse they exterminated.

~~~~~~

After chasing the mouse through my dungeon for about a minute or so a prompt came up.

You have captured a Marked Mouse minion.

That was interesting. It came to a surprise that the mouse can be captured as well. That really spurred my effort to catch as many as possible. Free minion, why would i not be happy. I have too many minions dying to my own traps.

*The first NPC Party has entered your dungeon.*

Leader “ This Dungeon was not here the last time i made a patrol in this area. Daniel, head back to town and inform them of the discovery. The rest of us head in and check out what kind of dungeon it is.”

A chorus of “Yes sir!” sprang by and one soldier left to make the report.

“Alice check for traps you know the drill. Violet watch our six. Dave you lead the front and for god sake Leeroy stop eating chicken already.”

“What? I am hungry”

“You are always hungry.it is a miracle that you are not fat.”

“Fine let me finish this chicken first.”

“Make it quick”

5 minutes into the dungeon. Leeroy starts complaining again.

“Guys, do you smell that sweet scent? It is making me hungry again.it smells like chicken stew with a tinge of orange and cinnamon.”

“Alice what do you smell? It smells like fresh toasted bread to me”

“It smells like moon rose to me. Are you thinking what i am thinking?”

“Looks like we are on the same wavelength once again.”

“I will head up front to confirm if it is the Flower of Fragrance.”

“Go.”

From the back, Violet’s face was all red. If anyone would turn around and see. It smelled like her husband.

One moment later Alice rushes back excitedly.

“Jace! This place is a jackpot! There is 3 kinds of herbs here as well! Healing sleep and paralysis this place will be a good place to harvest them.”

“That looks to be the case. As long as the cave do not evolve too much we may just send villagers here to regularly harvest them. These items are always in demand by the apothecary for the healing potion, sleep potion, awakening potion, the paralysis and anti paralysis potion.”

“Ok ok I get it. You do not have to machine gun everything. Also jace, stop it with those eyes. Everytime there is big money to earn your eyes are so wide that I can see coins in them. If I have not known better I would have thought they are made of coins.”

“Well, at least I am not like Leeroy, wait where is he? Shit not again. LEEROY!!!!!”

~~~ silence ~~~

Seriously. If not for his nose for danger and his exorbitant amount of luck I would not have him in the party. Battle formation people.”

~~~~

Somewhere is the 2nd last room, an idiot lays sleeping before a bed of eternal sleep.

His feet laying half a step on a pitfall.

~~~~

Jace, is it just me or is there no monsters at all?

Violet, what does detect say?

No hot bodies other than us in the 10m radius. There seem to be some snakes, frogs and plenty of bugs roaming about.

“No leeroy in 10m then. Lets speed up. Keep using detect when mana interference is over”

(mana interference is NPC version of cooldown.)

“Roger that.”

“Just where is that idiot”

~~~~~

Munching on my popcorns, I watched as they made the slow move towards Leeroy. One thing about being a dungeon, you get free flow of randomly flavored popcorn and 1 type of soft drink. The rest cost real world cash.

*munch munch*

*blurgh* booger flavor

*munch munch munch*

*You gained 10% increase in exp for the next 10 minutes*

*munch munch munch*

Thanks to Dagon, a new saying came to the dungeon players.

~~~~~

“I sense multiples heading towards a lying hot body”

“Dave use Charge and dash in. Alice Sneak in and rescue him.”

I can only watch in irony as the minions died. No exp if not killed by me.

Helplessly I watch as my once loved drones died they did no damage and only hindered the NPC Party.

“Holy ****! You got Rytix that is new title. I have yet to see that one on the forums. Are you going to post it up to the forums and earn some credits? If you are not going to then i am posting it and stealing the fame.”

“Ah sure. You can have it. Just hide my name. I do not want to meet the title hunters too soon.”

“By the way where is your dungeon?”

“I have no idea still. The party portaled back so i have to wait for the next one to come and say it. Until the next party comes and put a sign to claim “ownership” of my dungeon, i will have to wait.”

“You can’t put up your own sign?”

“I am a plant dungeon. I can’t plant my own sign. Get it? Plant my own sign?”

“... …”
