《Nomad Dungeon》Chapter 19 - D-Ranks in Bulk, is terrifying
Advertisement
I no longer have words for this, after that D-Rank left, a bunch more showed up, This is bad, what if a C-Rank does eventually show up!?
I need to make a sub-core soon to be sure of my survival.
It's Ironic that the more D-ranks come in the more likely a C-rank may as well but it's also because of the D-rank my Income has reached really high levels, to the point I'm already closing in on my once maximum amount 150,000DP.
And my recovery has been stuck at 1% even though a couple of months went by.
I just need to wait this out a little longer, I have already chosen my new Sub-core Monster, and went through as many settings as possible.
I just need more DP, just another 100,000DP.
It sucks since I can only purchase 10% instant Daily Income Recovery when my dungeon core is back to peak condition and even then the costs are 1,000,000DP on its own.
I continue to wait, More D-Ranks keep coming in, It's like an Infestation.
I want to complain, but since they have yet to make it even past my first riddle, they have been going nearly insane just trying to figure it out.
Well, this simple riddle is for stalling and annoying people, giving me precious time.
I continue to wait, and as my DP was closing in on my target value.
She Appeared.
I can never forget her, the one to nearly break me and make me homeless in the first place.
That pretty Elf.
Mr.Tutorial calls her a Specialised Dungeon Hunter, with her skills and Aura, adapted to subjugating dungeon spirits.
In other words, the nightmare has appeared.
hm? Isn't her pressure not as bad as it was in the past?
----
Ah, no wonder these D-ranks pressure never felt as bad as that Elf's Core Cracking pressure.

She begins asking around again, gathering information then proceeding towards my Gate of Wisdom down below.
She doesn't try and break it like most of the other D-ranks and instead starts chanting.
Holding her staff close to herself she continues chanting, it goes on and on.
I was watching in order to be careful of anything she may pull.
Mr.Tutorial Advised me that Dungeon Hunters are not to be underestimated no matter what.
So I had continued this observation without stop, then she stops chanting, rather she looks like she gained enlightenment.
----
Eh?
"A Baby at Dawn, An Adult at Day and An Elder at Dusk, the life cycle of an ordinary individual"
----
THATS CHEATING!!!
The Gate Opens, well that's just one of my riddles, let's see how you fare with the next one.
A dog tells you 'all dogs are liars', is this dog telling the truth?
Now then how will you answer this?
Ah, she begins chanting again, Hey you stop CHEATING!!!
Even as I shout mentally, she just continues chanting.
But then again she just continues chanting without stopping this time.
After a little while, she finally stops chanting and answers.
And the room got flooded, oh?
mm, her answer was 'the Dog is the liar'.
Idiot, the answer is Dog's cannot speak.
After trying a few more times she gives up.
She just walks back and proceeds to the other side, the Gate of Wisdom above this time.
She passes through the first one easily, well, of course, you cheated on this question.
On the other hand, you need to get through this one.
It is superior to Gods and eviler than any devils, The poor possess it, the rich require it, What is it?
She begins chanting again but like last time she stops and answers.
and She got pitfalled.
Her answer was 'heart?'
Its 'nothing', how in the world did you even get the heart?
Looks like even cheating won't save you from this.
Dejected, she begins camping here, trying to figure these out on her own.
Whew, that frightened me quite a bit.
Just a few more days.

Black Core Summoner
He remembered that it hurt. Gaining power hurt. No one ever warns you about the pain that comes before or after. The blinding torture that racked his body for centuries was nothing compared to losing — well ... everyone. He supposed he should have known things wouldn’t work out in the end — things rarely do for Gods.

8 77Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
