Dungeon Defense (WN)

You settled in Novgorod with a simple settlement.

I bought a suitable mansion because I was chosen by a landlord It was a two-story house just outside the walls. A noble used to use it as a hunting villa and gave it away as a property because it was getting worse.

“Customers. But this is something I have to sell in cash... ”

“Is this enough? ”

I immediately handed out 200 gold coins, and the janitor silenced.

“Please wait one day at the inn. We'll clean and freshen up. ”

“Take good care of her. ”

“Are there any? ”

Is it because it's a commercial city? A guest, stranger or whatever, was treated with kindness as soon as he gave me money. After earning citizenship, I settled in the mansion that became my home.

A new home.

A new life.

The new me.

I enjoyed that freshness and swam the floor of my room for a week. The doll's body didn't need to eat or sleep. Besides, I had nothing to do. Soon I became bored with him.

“I'm going to die of boredom.... ”

─ Why don't you just die?

“Shut up.”

I reacted nervously to an unrecognized hearing.

There was no need to ignore the visions anymore. Whether I was hallucinating or not, there was no one to interfere with. The only thing that relieved boredom was these shadows, but they were also pretty good friends, except that they were trying to tear off my skin and chew on my insides.

“Just don't stick to your eyes. ”

─ Die.

“Oh. All right. Don't make eye contact. ”

I lay flat on the floor and muttered bitterly. Luckily, I gave up my eyelids when I pressed my nails into my eyeballs. Instead, I chewed my ear lobe. I felt quite real, but it was just a hallucination anyway.

─ Why? Why... lie...

─ Bastard, you betrayed me…….

As I began answering the visions, they quickly got closer. In the past, there were very few people who were approaching a radius of 5 meters, but these days the base is a radius of 3 meters. Kids with no friends. I felt like talking to him was worth seeing.

The cornerstone strategy was frustrating for less than a week.

I finished my determination that I would not move at home until the world was destroyed, but I couldn't stand the boredom. I needed something to focus my mind on, even if I was alone. Suddenly, what came to my mind was a hobby I had never imagined before.

“Why don't you paint? ”

Models were literally everywhere.

Jack Orland glances at this side of the road, with his scalp on his head two metres ahead, and Captain Hawk constantly whispers blood down his throat. Pymon is still clinging to my back at the tribute.

“I'll paint you a picture. ”

The visions continued to curse, not pretending to hear me. These conversations should be established through bilateral communication, but they are not very basic. As a test, I wielded my fist, and it was like my teeth were tearing my skin.

“ ……. ”

Scary bastards.

I don't want to talk about it.

It's been a long time since I've been out of town. I don't know if it's a big city (? ) was quite a lot. I went into any room and bought pencils, paper, paint and canvas. Running a fireplace was a very old man. The old man glances at me constantly to see if I looked odd.

“Because you're a nobleman? ”

“No.”

“Sometimes noblemen put up a hobby for paintings.... ”

The old man seemed suspicious of the ingredients from this side.

“They soon get tired of painting again. It's hard to have fun if the basics aren't solid. I recommend a slow start with the sketch. ”

“If you get bored, you'll be fine, old man. ”

“That's the nobleman's way of thinking. ”

The old man chews hard rye bread with his face.

“Painting is also the work of craftsmen. It's the work of the gods, whether you like it or not. Just because you're bored doesn't mean you can't get away from it. It must be the privilege of noblemen to come lightly and leave lightly. ”

“Don't worry. I wouldn't be proud to call myself a painter if I were you. I'm just preparing the materials because I have something I want to draw. ”

“Is this something to draw? ”

The old man frowned.

I whispered as I picked out the brush.

“I've seen things that only I want to leave behind. ”

“ ……. ”

The old man's face became serious for some reason.

“Is it the living or the dead? ”

“I don't know.”

“Buy yourself a portrait. It will be a great help to study drawings. ”

I only bought thirty gold coins that day for basic painting tools. Perhaps the old man has cheated. I knew I didn't deserve to spend any other money. The old man's granddaughter, for example, dragged the cart and delivered the goods to the mansion herself.

“The Habsburg family fight is almost over. ”

As you walk past the streets of the bars, you hear chatter.

My pace was a little slow without me knowing it. The men were exchanging beer and talking about the world.

“I hear Munich's gone rogue. ”

“Rumor has it he killed them all without discriminating between men and women.... ”

“The Imperium has no mercy. ”

I stopped in the middle of the road.

“ ……. ”

Oh, I see.

You've won.

In other words, Ivar's performance was successful. If Laura had uncovered the identity of the doll, she wouldn't have focused on the war. It was also impossible to defeat President Elizabeth until Laura had captured the baton.

Laura was fooled by Ivar's act. He defeated President Elizabeth by using his natural skills. The capture of Munich taught me that.

‘Well done.'

I wanted to run and stroke Laura's head right away.

‘You're the best. Laura.'

Laura will smile brightly.

She suffers from her qualifications for Elizabeth. This time, I solved the problem that I couldn't solve in the Second Flame War. I wonder how happy he is. How much he wants to hear my compliments. It was Laura's most glorious day, but I couldn't be there for her.

‘I couldn't leave Laura with anything but repentance. ’

Regretful.

Abandoned by a family.

Slavery.

Laura was betrayed by the people of the world, and I betrayed her again.

I returned to the mansion in a helpless pace. I gave the granddaughter of the flower shop who brought the cart here for her errand. The girl was excited and ran towards the city. In the middle of the room that came static again, I painted a picture.

From that day on, I continued to live like a lung.

I didn't say anything but booze. There were only two kinds of daily activities. I stared at the hallucinations and painted or became intoxicated. Sometimes two tasks were done at the same time. To be more honest, it was mostly simultaneous.

My Atlee soon began to be filled with drawings.

Pymon, Barbatos, Laura, Lapis, and Daisy were in the flowerpot. The men didn't want to draw much, but it made them feel like eating crunchy food. As a result, this house became like a showroom that summarized my life.

Sometimes, if you look at the portrait from afar, the owners of the painting would talk to each other. Usually when my skull was drooling with alcohol.

─ Sis, do you think I'm asking you to give me a gift right now?

─ No. Cancer. You know I'm not. I'm just sorry. Yeah? Yeah.

Laura and Barbato.

I just received this information, but Laura doesn't really like Barbato. At the risk of Barbato being in my chambers, Laura took the beauty out of my hands. I was appalled by the news of Laffith's incident.

Relationships being exploited and exploited.

I stood at the center of it, but as a party, I didn't know anything.

Maybe he got pushed out of a fight. Barbatos turns his head and looks this way.

─ Dantalian! You made my Laura do that!?

What are you asking me to do? Idiot.

You're being deceived by Laura. Fool has been living among the Demon King for thousands of years and has now fallen in love with a 20-year-old human female. In the beginning, you're too weak for affection. He is the leader of a faction and has too many emotional weaknesses.

That's why people like me purge them.

─ Dantalian!

Barbatos glares at you with fearsome eyes. Barbatos wants to come at me as hard as he can, but his vision soon crumbles like that. After she disappeared, I was left with nothing but cold air.

I quietly inhaled the bottle.

─ Anything addictive is harmful.

This time Laffith was nagging.

In fact, half of what Laffith said to me was nagging.

─ Please enjoy the beginning of the year and drink. I'm afraid of the collapse of Dantalian's spirit.

Yeah, it is.

The reason I could not lose my mind was because Laffith always stood by me. I knew she'd blame me without saying anything. Laffith's silence was comforting, yet it also had the power to alert me.

There is no Lapis.

─ …….

Laffith sighs as if he can't stop it.

My breath felt like it was touching my nose.

I fell asleep lying on the floor of my room. My whole body was dirty with paint, but it didn't matter. Nobody's gonna see it anyway.

Tomorrow.

What else do we do tomorrow?

The day after tomorrow?

And the day after that.

It wasn't even a year ago, but I had a hunch that my life would go on like this forever. An empty day. I'm obsessed with my past and can't die, I just spend my time upside down.

But this is good.

It's good for me to just pile up like dust.

Occasionally, my only social life was to have my granddaughter come and provide me with paint and paper. My granddaughter said that my painting is increasing at an enormous rate, and she was excited when she saw someone so talented for the first time. From my point of view, it was overwhelming.

It was the same day I woke up after replacing bribery with alcohol.

I had never seen a woman in the bathroom before.

“ ……. ”

She glanced at the paintings I had painted. At first, I thought it was another hallucination. But no matter how I flipped it over, I couldn't remember meeting such a woman. I nodded, moaning, and got up on the floor of the room.

The woman listens to the sound and turns.

“Ah. You're up. ”

“...... I don't have anything to say about breaking into a house without permission. ”

I frowned.

“Nice to meet you. ”

The woman bows politely. Then I realized that the woman was dressed in a black suit. An outfit that doesn't feel like what the devil is wearing. It was almost dressed as a suit.

“I'm the one who led you into this world. ”
