《Nomad Dungeon》Chapter 18 - D-rank Comes
Advertisement
Its been a month or so, and my Daily Income has recovered to 1%, but what I'm most concern with is...
"What's with this place, It's just sickening"
"I know right, It's like this place was built specifically to annoy people, is this really a dungeon?"
"Well recently there have been people who succeeded in building artificial dungeon due to the declining rate of existing Dungeons"
There are a lot of F and E ranks camping at the in the entrance.
They have been here for a while, trying to proceed, they have crawled all over both endless corridors, even learning of its loop.
Finding the way into the next rooms.
The freezer down below and the sauna up above filled with riddles and questions, viscous liquids traps, helium gases and all kinds of non-lethal traps.
Frankly, these next two rooms are just there to annoy the hell out of everyone who tries to cross it.
Confusing riddles and questions, with traps that do you no harm other than harassment.
But with so many working together, made me think that they might break through within a month's time.
This thought in itself is horrifying.
But this went up in smoke as they haven't even completed the first Riddle.
it's a simple riddle, 4 legs at dawn, 2 legs at day and 3 legs at dusk, what is it?.
With the method of answering it using voice, but to get to this riddle they have to pass through unavoidable traps.
And every time it's a wrong answer, they get sent back to the start. via giant pitfall trap in the room.
But this is for the upper levels
The lower levels first riddles is the same, but it floods the place with viscous liquids, forcing them back to the start.
As a result, I have been relaxing here with DP stocking up quite a bit, horrifyingly so, as its already nearing 20,000DP.

With each E-Rank giving me an average of 150DP per day while the F-Ranks are around 50DP per day.
There is not really a need for any surveillance so far, due to this number, and they might notice so I had the Weaver Spider's pull its thread back, and I ended up feeding it with food purchased from the Item Catalog.
I even ask Mr.Tutorial to notify me if they ever pass the first riddle.
But so far there hasn't been any.
I waited for another month and people even began growing tired of this place and just straight up left.
While the others have yet to complete the first riddle.
Newcomers still appear but no one ever completed this riddle.
Another month past more came and more left, and my stock is now well over 60,00DP.
Daily Income recovered is still stuck at 1%, Its horrible.
Not sure if any other adventurers come or not, in the meantime I expanded my dungeon by another floor above and below, creating another set of harassment and annoyances.
I held back as much as possible but I still ended up spending 10,000DP in my crazed dungeon state.
It did get me thinking why it didn't occur to me during the tutorial, but Mr.Tutorial suspects its due to these inherent memories.
I didn't think much after that, just having this knowledge is aiding my survival a lot currently so I'm fine with it.
Another month passed and now he arrived...
A D-Rank arrived.
Although not as bad as with that elf, the pressure I feel from him makes it feel like its gotten heavier.
He first starts gathering information from everyone that's here and begins heading into the path heading up.
He easily passed the through the endless corridors.
Even easily made his way to the first riddle.

Now, will he be able to solve it?
hmm? he starts chanting, wait he's getting into battle position.
Does he mean to destroy the riddle gate?
Wait, Wait Wait!
----
What if its that Elf?
----
----
That's a relief, ah he also unleashed his attack, and like Mr.Tutorial said, he didn't even make a dent in the gate.
After attacking, he falls into thought, he then tries answering this riddle, and he failed to answer it.
This process repeated itself quite a bit until he tried the other path down below which ended the same way.
But how do I say this, he seemed no different compared to other F and E ranks. I could only utter these words in thought, how disappointing.

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.

This story takes place 30 years after this event which would come to be known as the Great Merge. It follows a group who work as elite mercenaries for an organistion called Unwanted. The Unwanted take in those thrown out from society, young or old, it didn't matter. Those that were chosen were selected for their special skills, many of them orphans, discarded nobles, slaves- they were deemed disposbale from the various cities they lived in. However, the Unwanted operate solely as a tool for the elite and the cities they operated in, they fight wars, clear dungeons, kill mad kings/monsters, etc. The main character who you will come to know his name is one of these Unwanted, and within his team are other people like him. They are all strong and went through the gruelling training process and now they operate as field agents. Follow them as they under go missions and experience life.
