Dungeon Reset

* * *

Ground!

Land, land! Boo-hoo!

A steep, jagged rock.

There is a sledgehammer buzzing over a crooked mountain of white clouds.

Who is it?

“Break the Stone! Break the Stone!”

Land, land! Blah, blah!

The protagonist was Mr. Jung, a stair carver.

[You have advanced to level 5.]

“Oh, level up! ”

Stone breaks faster as you level up.

Now, with three hammers, a staircase begins to fall out.

Of course, it wasn't just the floor.

I had to climb down to the top of the rock and make room for myself to pass.

“That's it for today? ”

The hammering of a straight down hammer eventually stops only when the day is dim.

Boss!

It's been a long time since I stretched my lower back, and I hear a cool scream from my spine.

I said take it easy, but Nogada is Nogada.

“Oh, it's cold. Your hands are all numb. ”

Even though it was early evening because of the mountain peak, it was quite cold.

You can breathe if you blow your head off.

In the middle, the metal hammer handles are covered with leather, but the back of his hand is red.

‘Hmm. Shall we make some gloves tomorrow? Gloves of neck fur. No, they'll be easier to make. ’

Thinking about tomorrow's work, his gaze suddenly turned to the stairs he had made all day.

And I was so moved!

Look how great this is!

Three meters wide.

It was a very reliable and proud stone staircase, with all the way to the crash-proof stone railing next to it.

“Khh - God, surely this is the staircase I made! This is the ultimate 108 steps! ”

< 298 steps to be exact. >

“No, that's what I mean. And you're counting them again? ”

< ……. >

Anyway, I thought it was a bit long when I saw it, but I was surprised that it was 298.

I think I counted up to 100 before, but I've been too immersed ever since.

“Let's do two more while we're at it and just make 300 more. ”

I fixed the metal hammer again.

300 steps would seem great, but in fact, it was only a very trivial height compared to the overall height of the mountain.

If the stone staircase is roughly 20 centimeters high, it should be 60 meters down by now.

I don't know exactly how high the Death Mountains will be...

Based on the height (approx. 2750 meters) of Mount Baekdu?

It's a simple calculation, 60 meters a day, about 45 more days to do this.

“But there are terrain variables that are much more terrestrial than I thought, and it feels like it's going to take longer and longer as I descend. ”

< It may take at least two months for your skill level to continue going up. >

It's been a terrible time.

Two months of sticking to these dangerous cliffs and breaking rocks all day...

Alpha decides what consolation to offer Jungdown in this situation.

However, Jungdown muttered with a frowning face.

“…… What if I'm bored? ”

< Was boring a problem!? >

“Of course. I have to climb these stairs every day, but they're getting longer every day! ”

< …… You never say breaking stones is boring. >

“Breaking rocks is fun. Strangely short time. ”

< ……. >

Is it because using a skill doesn't make it hard at all?

It was too high to scare me, but it had a special taste.

Living in a dark, quiet, static dungeon is always fun to stimulate the peripheral nerves.

Well, there's no game in the world, there's no Internet. Isn't this some kind of extreme sport?

“Maybe people like to rock climb or hike in this flavor. ”

< Humans are funny. I have all kinds of hobbies.... But if you're going to stop today, why are you hammering again? >

“Suddenly I had a good idea. ”

Land, land. Land.

During a conversation with the Alpha, Jungdown breaks another stone, unable to bear the gap.

But this time, I was smashing the stone wall next to it, not the stairs.

Ground! Blah, blah!

He drills a hole next to the last staircase.

“I'm going to make a Medium Node here. ”

< Are you selling caves? >

“Yeah. Let's take a break around here. There's no place to rest if you just take the stairs. ”

< Good idea. because if you try to relax your legs while climbing up and down these tall stairs, you can fall. >

“I was going to take an ostrich anyway. Would you walk around here on my own two feet? But that was the first plan, and now I think of a better way. ”

What? >

“Bam, the cave is complete! ”

After a while, a cave the size of which I felt comfortable was formed.

What are we gonna do here?

You eat, you sleep?

It wasn't.

“Alpha, can you install the gate here? ”

< Huff? Oh my! What a great idea! Of course you can. >

The Alpha truly bowed to the idea of honesty!

Once you set up a gate in this cave, you'll always be able to travel to and from the Temple and Direct!

“From tomorrow, we can fly right down here without coming down the stairs! ”

< Ah, you have indeed passed through the Gateway of Wisdom! You are the Wise One! >

“Hmm, a wise man. ”

Of course, there was no Gateway of Wisdom.

He was not a wise man.

However, it was the recognition that the flour was eaten when giving a compliment.

The settled junk took out smoked meat and began to eat.

A Gate skill required vital energy.

Tsk, tsk.

“Is this all you have to do? ”

< Yes, when your satiety level reaches 100%, from then on everything that goes into your mouth will be replaced by an offering. >

“Did you decide to call me Wise Man now? Anyway, we're out of snacks. I can't breathe until I'm about to puke. I'm having a good time. ”

< …… you still seem happy enough. >

“Actually, you're right. ”

Favorite. * Sigh *. Yummy.

Although the food was offered as an offering, it was better than anything else that I could taste it all while eating.

* * *

“Gate installed! ”

[Install the gate.]

After a while, a golden door appeared in the corner of the cave.

The moment you step into it, the vision changes.

It was already in the ruins.

It was a huge success!

It's perfectly connected to the gates of the ruins!

“Yes! Success! ”

“Kiss?”

He raises his ears and greets him.

I was afraid of heights and didn't follow them to the cliffs. Here, I climbed over the bones of a giant Erthea and gritted the bones.

"45560".

< Please, that rude beast.... >

The Alpha is starting to get scared.

I thought that I would eat it someday.

“But the ruins aren't so bad either. ”

because it's the top of the mountain.

“Why did Ertera build a temple in such a shabby place? ”

< It didn't matter that Erstea had temperature control magic anyway. >

“That's despicable.”

What are you complaining about?

“It's not magic, but I have similar skills. I'll sleep in an elephant at night. ”

Jungdown leaves the ruins immediately and returns to the nearby elephant golem.

Even in this cold, the inside of the elephant was always smoking because there was a 24-hour hot stone.

Best of all, the floor is hot!

At this moment, Ondol skill was the best of all skills.

“Khh, I can't get rid of an elephant like that. Should we modify it and reuse it? ”

I was troubled.

Stop a Centaurus and use it as an elephant nucleus, it won't be a big fight for a while.

Then something strange happened.

“Huh? This? ”

Was it too warm?

You can see the cute green sprouts all over the elephant's head.

Oh, I know what this is.

Shares you once ate with your colleagues.

It was a dungeon potato.

Green hair around the head of a sleepy head (?) I tilted my head to look at this elephant.

“Was there some seed potatoes in the dirt? ”

Well, after digging up so much soil, there was a very high chance that seeds of such plants were mixed into it.

Then why did those idle bastards suddenly sprout?

“Oh, it's the stone. ”

Come to think of it, the elephant has always been warm since the onset of the hotstone.

Although there are hot stones everywhere, the temperature will spread out and reach the sleeping seed potatoes. Finally, I will knock on the door.

Hello, Mr. Potato? ’

Hic! We're coming out! ’

Then the shoots opened the door and popped out.

Penetrate through the solid lump of clay golem.

Isn't this the mystery of life?

But…….

“Huh?"

Twisted twisted.

Suddenly, the sprout of the potatoes began to show more curious behavior.

He began to twist the trunk toward the downward end.

“Wow, I've been doing this for a while now. Your racial instincts aren't going anywhere. ”

Jungdown smiled and gave him a swipe of his finger.

Tuck.

Twitch?

Sprouts that shrug their heads quickly as they take a punch.

< I did something, it's the sprouts of cannibal vines. >

“That's right."

Yes, it is.

I used to call them potatoes among my colleagues, but this plant was actually a kind of cannibal vinegar living in a dungeon.

A very annoying guy who hides his thick roots underground and spreads his vine trunk to the ground to capture prey.

However, it only interferes with movement with its feet. It is a trivial plant with no other attack abilities. I cut it off with a knife and it was released quickly.

But what if all of a sudden these vines show up to fight monsters and tie their feet?

Monsters surround you and dry you while your vines slow you down.

Then, if the blood and flesh of the dead body that were not able to run away and smoothly moistened the land, it was the identity of the 'dungeon potatoes’ that ate and grew.

And then one day,

There was a figure who discovered that the root of this nasty cannibal herb tasted like potatoes.

It was straight down.

“Suddenly I'm craving potatoes for this guy. Why don't we grow some potatoes after all this time? ”

I was drooling on my mouth after eating meat like that a while ago.

The memories of struggling to eat one of these in Stage One.) comes to mind.

The harvest period for dungeon potatoes is two weeks.

During the dungeon game, this time period was really ambiguous.

After planting the seed potatoes, you have to go somewhere else without harvesting properly.

Finding out how long this harvest lasted was truly a miracle.

I had a chance to return to the place where I had planted potatoes while being chased by monsters.

“But things are different now. ”

Jungdown smiled.

It was the perfect time to raise dungeon potatoes.

I would stay in one place for a while anyway, and I couldn't reset here, so it was possible to build a farm in a row.

“No, why don't we move? You can keep farming here while riding around in elephants. ”

In the future, it will be a mobile farm, not a camper.

Jungdown eventually put the core back into the elephant golem and brought it back to the ruins.

Then I saw a green sprout and I straightened up.

“A kiss? ”

Twisted?

There was a strange altercation between the two.

“What are you guys doing...? ”

It was a neurometastasis between the trivial ones.

Thinking about it, the dungeon potatoes were like the natural enemies of land squirrels roaming through the earth.
