Dungeon Defense (WN)

Yeah, that's enough.

I gave them an opinion that would benefit them. My vigilance hasn't completely vanished, but I've gained a strong liking for myself. If I continue acting appropriately like this, I won't be able to blow my neck out.

Reef said.

“Rookie! Put the Demon King on your back at all times. It's faster that way. ”

“Yeeph, got it! ”

The rookie replied gracefully. He picks me up cold and catches me.

“Go, thank you. ”

“What? What do you usually eat that's so light? I'm fine. My insides are full of nothing. ”

“Haha. I don't have enough food. ”

The rookie chipped his tongue. Farmers and Demon Kings seem to be having a hard time in the world these days, and the new recruit rambled on about how poorly his town is. It was generally said that their lord was the most horrible son of a bitch in history.

He walked vigorously to see if I was really light. Thanks to you, I was comfortable. My right leg still hurt, but I was unhappy compared to walking forcefully. I didn't expect you to carry me, to be honest.

‘Phew.’

I got out of a situation where I didn't have to die right away.

Problems remain. He lied. I didn't really know how to get it out, even if there was a real treasure in the dungeon.

Tell me you've arrived at the Demon King's room and you don't have any Silver Coins. They're gonna evaporate and they're gonna be furious and they're gonna kill me.

To prevent such immortality, I decided to solve the next obstacle.

I pronounced it by moving my lips a little.

‘Magic Spear.’

Nothing happened.

‘Not this. Magic Star Statue Window? Not this. Mamang Castle Situation Window……. ’

Why are we suddenly looking for a status window or something? There was a reason for this.

There was a notification window indicating Dantalian's abilities. That is, perhaps there are other types of notifications. If this world had been built on games, it would not have only demonstrated your abilities.

Unlikely. Quest list panes, alliance panes, and other notifications were found in turn.

‘But this is not what I want. ’

Maybe it would help later, but not right away. I've cleared the notification window found. And I whispered nervously.

‘Dungeons.’

Then the pleasant sound sounded.

A hologram appeared before my eyes.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

[Dungeon: Dantalian's Castle]

Rank: Behind the scenes

Technical Research: 0

Magic Research: 0

* Special Skill: None

* Monster: Zero object

* Property: 1000 Gold

The dungeon is a mess. Local kids see your dungeon as a playground! You can be attacked at any time. Quickly hire a monster unit in the 'Hire Monsters' field and maintain your position.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

All right!

I cheered silently.

To be honest, the dungeon was not in a satisfactory state. I've never seen a dungeon so ugly and humble. But it didn't matter at all.

The only thing that matters now is property! The fact that it was as valuable as the soup on a crow's claw.

‘The entire property is 1000 gold……. ’

You had to catch a boss monster in the middle of the first half to get the amount down. Less, but not less. At this rate, I can perform tricks. Heaven did not forsake me.

I focused on the property in the notification window. Revenues, expenses, black people. He kindly warned me that he would go bankrupt if he didn't improve his import structure right away. I'm sorry, that's not what I was interested in.

The notification window that caught my eye was this.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

Withdraw the dungeon's property.

Maybe they'll go bankrupt if you withdraw too much?

Withdrawal Amount: ____ Gold

Remaining amount: ____ Gold

After determining the amount to withdraw, think of it as' OK '.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

‘Bravo.'

It was as I expected.

It's only been an hour since I fell into this damn world. But I can only guess which genre of game rules it follows.

This is probably a first-person operating simulation. Must have been an RPG in here. Players manage dungeons or wander around alone. It's easy to understand if you enjoy Jet Coaster Tycoon for the first time.

In this type of game, players can withdraw their operating funds and spend them separately. I am looking forward to such a function. The notification window in front of me was brilliantly meeting my expectations and expectations.

Now you can withdraw gold at any time as long as you want.

‘You don't have to worry if the adventurers threaten to pay for it. ’

It was about life and death.

Even though they kept me alive, it wasn't because they were particularly merciful. I believed that only I could open the door to the treasure vault. As soon as I handed over the treasure, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't kill me.

‘They are selfish. Even if you're not selfish, you're right to think that. ’

Suddenly, I remembered what Macchiabelli had advised me. The monarch should always think selfishly.

If the other person is not selfish, there is no problem. If I don't think about it selfishly, I won't lose much. No problem, but what if the other person is selfish? What if I didn't defend myself?

I see the damage. Serious cases can result in death.

Therefore, we always assume that the other person is selfish. It doesn't matter if the opponent is not selfish, and can at least respond if the opponent is selfish. It's flaccid.

‘I can't believe I have such a narrow liking. ’

It was amazing. When I was a freshman at university, I remembered what I read about Maquiabelli.

I have heard somewhere that when a human being is at risk of death, I am reminded of advice I have never thought of before. When I heard about it, I thought it was strange. I never thought I'd be in that position.

‘Maybe my head isn't trash at all. ’

The rookie smiles unnoticed. Now I was relaxed enough to make jokes.

You failed to pay your adventurers, so there's nothing left to kill. What should I do if I give money to adventurers? Now that was the problem.

Let's appeal to recognition. ’

It was nonsense that was not worth reconsidering.

‘Let's tell the monsters we can use them as hostages. …… No, not this either. ’

I cried and pleaded that there were no monsters in the dungeon. I couldn't change the fact that there were monsters here. Adventurers can't trust me.

‘Wait.'

At that time, a remarkable solution struck the brain.

I can pay you to hire monsters! ’

I quickly recalled the dungeon window. It clearly said this.

The dungeon is a mess. Local kids see your dungeon as a playground! You can be attacked at any time. Employ monster troops and maintain their position in the 'Hire Monsters' field as soon as possible.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

Hire troops from the monster farm!

You can hire monsters without having to sell them separately. It was so stupid. Why did you ignore the phrase written to be cautious? There was a rope right in front of him that would save him from the crisis.

There are a lot of excuses. I groan at the thought that I might have caught you in a lie a little while ago. I was in a hurry to check if I had any property. But what if I was really smart?

‘As soon as you checked the money, you thought you wanted to hire monsters. ’

On the other hand, I boasted that my head was usable when I was reminded of Macchiabelli's insistence. What a jerk! What's so great about this situation that a great man's words died hundreds of years ago?

An adventurer is selfish? Of course. Those who risked their lives to leave their homes. Those people are selfless and selfish. You must have poison in your heart. I had no reason to travel to Maki Avelli thinking that adventurers were selfish....

I packed the facts in plausible nonsense.

Even at the risk of my life, I wasted my time packing myself beautifully. A precious and precious minute.

I shook my head.

Damn it, Lorita! Wake up! "

I looked at the weapons in their hands.

Spears, iron clubs, bows, knives. Those are the weapons that will kill me. Whenever I am careless, the tip of my spear will pierce my heart.

I concentrate my nerves on the thighs where the arrow grazed me. I wanted to carve the pain into my body, my brain and my memory. That way we can fix the rotten mind at all.

“Hey."

I was worried about the new guy.

“Is it so painful that you can't even hear your voice? ”

“…… No. It's okay, I can take it. ”

“Well, if you want to get really sick, tell me. ”

I nodded. It hurt badly.It's been that way for a long time.

But I'm good at mixing laughter in my voice.

“Thank you. Very kind of you. ”

and said,

“No, no, no. That's it.”

The new recruit is shy. He was naive. His innocence was appreciated.

These adventurers are novices. I'm sure. They were terrified of their ugly looks, but they were just swinging pickaxes in the countryside. The game is just NPC for tutorial practice. As long as you stay calm, you won't lose your neck.

I immediately remembered the hologram that hired the monster army.

‘Employment of Monsters. ’

A translucent list was unfolded.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

[Monster Name] [Health] [Attack] [Defense] [Employment Cost]

- Slime 2 2 2 70 gold

- Minor Nymph 4 3 2 160 Gold

- Goblin 4 4 4 250 Gold

- Minor golem 7 5 400 gold

[Now: 1000 Gold]

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

‘ ……. ’

Weak.

Plus, it's expensive.

‘The Demon Kings in Dungeon Arch...... Did they buy it by replacing cheap monsters like this? ’

In the game, the main character was a mob that was chopped into units with a single knife.

I looked at the monsters one by one. Focusing on that, the individual stats of the monsters came to me in a little more detail.

Stats didn't do much for me. In the case of slime, there was only one ‘recovery’ skill. It was a technique that naturally gained strength over time. Not bad. Slime had only three stamina. I almost died without a chance to use my recovery skills.

‘Dammit. Don't adventurers have really bad stats? ’

Adventurers are weak, monsters are weak. Then I could understand the unimaginable weakness of monsters.

I muttered to myself, staring at Leaf, the Adventure Party blacksmith.

‘Status window.’

Rookie Adventurer Reef lacks appeal.

Only the most basic competencies are disclosed.

The hologram illuminated over the leaf's head with a tilt, and an effect tone. The format was very simple, unlike that of Dantalian. Perhaps if I wanted more information, I would have to increase my appeal to a certain level or higher.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

“Hnng.”

I groaned without knowing.

The Reef's stats add up to 13. In terms of monsters, he was just as strong as a Goblin. Weak is weak.

However... … The Reef was strong enough, given the level of monsters you can hire right now. I can only hire four Goblins for 1000 Gold.

On the contrary, 15 adventurers.

I checked each adventurer's stats. Luckily, the Leaf was the strongest. Other adventurers generally had a stat sum of 5 to 8. Even so, the Adventure Troops were too powerful for four Goblins.

I was disappointed. Even if I hired a monster, I wonder if I could still win.

“We're almost there! ”

An adventurer shouts. I think I'm almost in the Demon King's room.

Adventurers chatter.

“Phew, what a waste of space. ”

“It's because you've never been to a dungeon before, idiot. This is normal. I usually feel more spacious with monsters and traps pouring out in the middle. We got here pretty fast. ”

“What an easy dungeon. ”

Shit. We're running out of time.

I was desperately preoccupied with thinking. I thought about it within the framework of the game and thought about it outside the framework.

"Should we hire a lot of slime to replenish our supplies? No. Hiring the strongest Golems to take on a surprise attack. Or……. ’

Finally, the adventurer group arrives at their destination.

“We're here! That's the Demon King's room! ”

At the same time, I also gave a close answer. I bit my lip. Blood spilled in my mouth, but I didn't care.

‘Good. I'm going this way...! ’

The cave remains unchanged, massive and still.

Only a strange sphere acts as a light, and the sound of adventurers' footsteps and speech echoes loudly along the passageway. But there's only one person here. I was the only one who knew that everything was changing and had to change.

"I survive! ’

At this moment, my survival began quietly and quietly.
