《Nomad Dungeon》Chapter 9 - Crushed & Lost
Advertisement
I took control of my new body, to consume all 6 of these adventurers.
Its a bit hard to control, probably because I'm not used to It.
It's different when in full control, unlike eye-bat and Oozer who are able to move by instinct.
After getting a hang of the controls, I consume the corpses first.
[Ult.Copy Activated]
[Complete]
[Change Now Available]
I test it out.
My form changes into a complete human body.
I took a peek at myself through my omniscience.
The leader of that group of 6 is visible, even though my Omniscience, I can't tell a difference.
I can change into any of the 6 I just Consumed with ease, even the clothes they were wearing are
fully replicated.
Well, I did consume them with clothes on, but still, it feels so natural when I move in Human Form.
----
If that is true then doesn't that mean...!?
My new body begins trembling, and I feel an intense urge to throw up.
----
Although hearing that from Mr.Tutorial calmed me down a bit, I still felt nauseous.
I formed a new face from a mixture from those 6 faces then I had my new body leave the dungeon and begin traveling, the further, the better.
This rather strange as it feels like I'm operating two bodies at once.
Yet I have no problems with it, why?
----
Hmm...So I'm capable of having an army of sub-cores?
----
YEAH!, soon I will be immor
"AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
I scream escapes the mouth of my body.
An immense pain courses through my body.
This pain is not just coursing through sub-core body but through my dungeon as well.
...What just happened?
----
My body immediately collapsed.
I cant get up, the pain is too intense.
My omniscience picks up an intruder in the dungeon.

"..."
A woman, an elf, she is beautiful, silver-white hair, and sapphire blue eyes, she is like a model.
But, just her presence alone is enough to almost overwhelm me.
She looks at Oozer who is covering the path to my core.
"A Dungeon spirit smart enough to hide in such a manner."
Her expression is stone cold, I felt this for the first time in my life.
Killing Intent.
"And from the looks of it, you already cleaned up the place"
The killing intent grows stronger. I begin to feel my core cracking.
"Dungeon spirit, submit or perish"
----
MR.TUTORIAL!
The pain becomes more intense, but I endure it.
The woman raises left hand and points at Oozer.
OOZER!
After standing its ground protecting me even under such pressure, Oozer~.
Even after dying, its remains continue covering the path towards me.
"Dungeon spirit, Submit or Perish"
----
Fear builds up within me but also a strange, fierce sensation.
Something snaps within me.
Those two aren't my only options.
I PICK CHOICE NUMBER 3.
I go into dungeon augmentation and close up the entire dungeon.
As soon as I do so, the pain intensifies.
Suffocation and that elf's pressure join together and I can feel my core on the verge of breaking.
"Its useless"
I. WILL. FIGHT. BACK!
Suicide option 2. Dungeon collapse. ACTIVATE!!!
At that moment, my core shatters.
I lose my omniscience, and a sharp pain assaults my sub-core.
It continues for a while and eventually dies down and I calm down along with it.
I begin checking my status, it remains unchanged.
But my DP...
[Current Amount: 45,587 DP]
It costs 1,110 DP just to cause a dungeon collapse.
----
Mr.Tutorial, you're ok, thank the lords.
Wait, does that mean if my dungeon was worth 1110 DP?
----
Alright.
Well, I'm homeless now.

Villain To Be
Lady Emilia Rose Fireheart should have been the rival character in the game “Novelty of Nobility” but because the current Lady is a reincarnated person, she marvelously messed things up. -Inspired by the novel An Otome Game's Burikko Villainess Turned into a Magic Otaku and other similar works. -Cover art was googled. Well, the monsters depicted in this story were mostly inspired by Monster Hunter so... yey~
8 394Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
