Dungeon Reset

* * *

The rabbit was intrigued all the way through the new game.

[Is he dead? Is he dead?]

Eventually, the rabbit spends some time searching for a trap with a steady crash.

I thought I'd starve to death by now, but then I see this.

There are no bodies to be found, and a cavern is dug under the trap.

[Where is this human?]

The rabbit panicked in an unexpected situation.

[Did you run away? What did you dig the ground with!?]

You look around and see that all the iron bars on the floor have been pulled out.

I didn't think I could dig up the ground using those bars, but I thought I had something to use as a shovel replacement in my belongings.

After all, this place has lost its function as a trap.

[Phew. Don't interrupt the game. Die gently! Break the trap and run away! You dug me a hole to die in! What are you gonna do if we go further down here?]

The rabbit laughs at the last struggle of the jungle.

Soon he would have died underground.

Eventually, this cave would have been his last tomb.

However, the rabbit eventually took a step into the dungeon because it seemed easy to see his body with his own eyes.

But... the more I moved along the tunnel, the more I felt strange.

[…… huh?]

I thought I'd just found a starving corpse, but for some reason, the crooked tunnel is getting wider.

At this point, it's more of a tunnel than an underground tunnel.

The walls and ceilings were plastered and clean, so carefully crafted that one individual made them.

Why is it so useless?]

I felt increasingly uneasy.

Shortly after, a wide underground pupil was opened in front of the rabbit's eyes.

[Huff.]

Was there a place like this underneath the dungeon?

A cave made naturally was such an artificial space with walls and ceilings.

In the middle of it, I saw a rectangular table sitting down to eat.

Seeing that peaceful look, it was too devastating.

What are you doing here?]

“Oh, my God! ”

[Roasted fish?]

The rabbit stares at the grilled fish on the plate with a silly look on its face.

Next to it was a bucket full of water, so it was a very well prepared meal.

It was absurd.

[Wow, look at this guy! I let him starve to death, and now he's eating well in a place like this!]

“Oh, hmm. We still have some food left. ”

[You still have food? How much food were you stocking up on your belongings? Wait?]

At that moment, the eyes of the rabbit flashed.

It was only now that I remembered what role Jungdown had played in Ryu Seung-woo's group.

The rabbit chews its hair and is irritated.

[Let go! This guy was in charge of food!?]

“ ……. ”

Jungdown was anxious.

You're not just gonna kill me, are you? ’

It was a disaster.

If the rabbit wanted to kill himself, it was absolutely impossible to resist.

Running away from the ground was impossible, of course, and when I tried to touch the rabbit myself, it became as transparent as a ghost and my hands passed through it, so I attacked too.

On the other hand, the rabbit was able to kill the participants at any time if he wanted to.

I still remember the way he blew his head off at the start of the game.

But fortunately, the rabbit's interest has turned to the other side.

[But is this a bed? Is this a required pillow? Wow, this is amazing.... And in the meantime, you made all this just to lay in bed and sleep?]

The admiration came from the mouth of the rabbit.

A dirt bed, a dining table, and a chair.

And the surface of the soil wall surrounding this circle looks so soft and comfortable....

[That's me. You have a strange gift. Do you have any skills?]

Hot.

I wanted to hand it over, but it was also impossible to deceive the maid's eyes.

The rabbit looks at him with a shrugged eye, noticing the state of purity.

[Hoho? You think it's real? I had no idea new skills were going to appear for error seekers who had been disqualified. The rules of the dungeon are mysterious. So what's the skill? Do you have some kind of shoveling skill?]

He rolled his eyes and thought about what he should do for a while, and finally confessed.

It was not a skill that would make things worse.

“…… Mud clumping skill. ”

[Sob, sob.]

“Yes, smile, smile.... ”

Jungdown sighs and mutters.

Then the rabbit's mouth burst with laughter.

What was so funny, I fell on the floor and hit the ground with my fist, and I burst a smile.

[Puhahaha. I heard you're good at making artifacts! The main skill is as vague as purification, and is only as talented as the really weird one!]

“Talent?”

Among the words of the rabbit, there was something tempting, so Jungdown asked.

“Do skills depend on talent? ”

[It was different then. Sometimes it's a natural gift, sometimes it's a result of hard work, sometimes it's a reward for achievement. But you're just unlucky?]

And of course, I agreed with the idea.

‘You've been unlucky ever since you were summoned to this world. ’

But the rabbit didn't care what he thought.

Now whether he has a new skill or has a lot of food left, his fate has been sealed.

[Well, anyway, it's been a long time coming here. Now I can die.]

“ ……! ”

Here comes what's coming!

Jungdown asked him with a nervous expression.

“Are you gonna kill me? ”

If I just let him go, he'll be dead soon.]

“ ……? ”

It was a strange answer.

Suddenly, the rabbit's gaze looked up at the ceiling somewhere.

[Oh, you're done?]

“What? What's over? ”

The rabbit smiled with a meaningful smile to Jungdown, who wondered.

[This game is over. The final boss just collapsed.]

“ ……! ”

At that moment, his face became stiff.

“This game? You mean the new game? ”

[Yes. While playing with the dirt here, the next group of riders were summoned to Stage -1.]

JingDown was taken aback.

I didn't even know time was running out, and the new game was over.

[Heave-ho! Shall we go then?]

The rabbit straightens its base and begins to become more and more transparent, floating like the last time.

Already, the existence of honesty has been pushed back a long time from the rabbit's interest.

The rabbit blushes from the air and looks down and says mean things.

Nice to meet you, by the way. I'm done playing games. will try hard too.]

I feel a strange nuance.

[I worked hard to create an apartment just like Mo did, but that's a shame.]

The rabbit disappears, leaving behind such an ominous note.

And then a second message through the entire dungeon!

[The dungeon will reset.]

Chubby!

Jungdown stood up at that moment.

We got trouble! ’

Reset dungeon?

Then all of these tunnels he dug would be reset.

What if the dungeons were once again filled with dirt?

The next order was a live burial!

We have to get back to the trap! ’

At this moment, the only safe place was there.

He starts running backwards through the tunnel he dug.

* * *

“Cough! Cough, cough! ”

Jungdown was able to get close enough to the location of the first trap.

I dug hard when I went, but it took me a while to get back.

Barely climbing outside, he breathes a short, rough breath and lies prone on the floor of the trap.

“Sa, I'm alive.... ”

A full reset is underway inside the trap.

The iron tacks in his belongings were being recreated on the floor, and the ceiling that was pierced last time was getting clogged.

As soon as the reset completes, darkness sets in the trap.

And silence.

“ ……. ”

Jungdown sighs and throws a stone to the ceiling to light up the darkness.

Blah, blah, blah!

The trap is set to fire again, and Asran's light reveals the interior of the trap, along with the cloudy dust.

It was so pointless to think we should start over from here.

But... it wasn't.

“Huh?"

Her eyes widen as she finds something.

“It's the same!? ”

The hole in the tunnel from which he escaped was still there!

Why is this all you got? ’

Suddenly, I felt numb in my head.

Everything went back to the way it was, but the cave you dug was the same...?

Why? Why? ’

I was full of questions in my head.

Jungdown carefully steps back into the dungeon, feeling tempted by something.

The entrance of the cave that was dug cramped into the ground while digging with iron spikes.

"As is."

The tunnel grows wider and more comfortable as you move one foot and one foot along the path.

"As is."

And at the end of it all, waiting for his comfortable nest!

“Ahh... ”

A sigh of relief comes from my unconscious mouth.

Everything was just the way it was.

A table and chair made by your hand, a bed, and even a warm torch in the middle.

Everything is the same! ’

Everything in the dungeon returned to its original form, but surprisingly, all traces of itself remained there.

Oh, my God! Even if the dungeon is reset, my creations will not go away! No dungeons, no beds! ’

Then Jungdown realized what the word 'error’ in his status window meant.

It was an error, literally.

Dungeon Error!

From the moment the helper's mistake knocked him out of the game, the existence of correctness has freed him from the wheel of the dungeon system!

This phenomenon was a fatal error that even a helper rabbit could not anticipate.

Maybe…… we can shake the foundation of the dungeon game from the ground up!

Then there's hope.

Things have changed.

"From now on, we will continue to dig tunnels, no matter the reset! ’

It was no longer difficult to dig for yourself after the skill had been created.

No matter how much the waves ended, the obscurity and the futility that all this would return to nothing made it hard for him.

But what if I had more time?

Nothing stands in his way anymore!

Then let's start over. ’

Jungdown stares at the solid dirt wall blocking his path with a hopeful eye.

Then he reaches out.

“Clump of dirt! ”

Chuckle! A huge lump of dirt is ripped out of his hand.

“Clump of dirt! Clump! Clump! Clump! ”

I started to unleash skills with both hands.

That way, a new tunnel begins to break out in front of him.

Forward, forward.

We must escape! ’

Jungdown begins digging again.
