＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ July 15, 2004

July 15, 2004.

This is the anniversary of the first anniversary of Infinite Dendrogram.

Such as the price of the dedicated hardware and the low monthly fee, "Is this really profitable?" Infinite Dendrogram was often worried by the user, but it was able to run safely for a year.

There are no examples of MMOs in the world, and < Infinite Dendrogram > also hosts one-year anniversary events day in and day out.

Particularly easy to understand, monsters with special specifications pop up on the continent like seasonal events.

They drop all sorts of delightful redemption items from beginners to veterans, or special outfits.

Whatever it was, Tian, who didn't know what was going on, enjoyed this first anniversary as a golden rush.

One of them was a man who was further making part of the map within the kingdom.

"Big Money Making Gull"

That was a man in a kangaroo dress...... [Destroyer (Destroyer)] Shu Sterling.

The [Saikuron Poop] he is wearing now was a privileged weapon with automatic collection capabilities for drop items, collecting drops from the monsters whose shore battleship Baldr he boards crushed map-by-map in extensive artillery bombardment.

'I've never seen a gal make more money shooting. Gal Saving At This Bonus Time'

As mentioned earlier, monsters popped for events drop expensive redemption items.

Usually it was a shu that didn't get more than a drop of Bulder ammunition - precisely the cost of manufacturing ammunition inside the Bulder - but not now.

If you shoot, you can earn as much money as you want because you get a redemption item that just shoots.

That's why he was turning all over the kingdom, changing the map without people even further. (It should be noted that later on, the management AI for the environment and chores will have a head of "add or subtract Moga!!")

And Shu's crusade rankings have also risen to number one within such an unscrupulous hunt, but it's a trivial story for Shu now.

But there are some non-trivial stories.

"Hmm, I figured it was time to get a super job because my experience was wasted, Gal."

The current Shu job is a senior position [Destroyer] in the Broken House system, reaching level of 100.

The job level of the sub is also kansted, and he had reached level 500, the upper limit of the superior, some time ago.

"Unlike Lord Figa's [superfighter], my broken house system is a troubled gal because conditions are bug-eating"

A friend of Shu's, Figaro, gave down Tom Cat the "converted cat mansion” in the arena a few months ago and became the dueling champion.

And by becoming a champion and fulfilling his terms, he took the job of [Superfighter], a fighter superior position.

"And that female fox [the pope], I'm the only gal behind in the kingdom."

Shu and Figaro, and all three of the dependent moon nights Shu called the female fox, evolved Embrio to the seventh form.

The other two have fulfilled their terms and held super positions before they did, but Shu still hasn't got a super position.

That's because the two occupied [superfighters] and the [female pope] have continued to be inherited and the conditions are also clear jobs, whereas the broken-down lineage superposition that Shu aims for is unclear as to how many of the conditions.

I know the terms of the Boss Monster's solo crusade and I have already achieved them, but I do not know the other terms.

Therefore, Shu was now stuck.

"Uh, I want you to fall into a super position somewhere, Gal."

"It's not me, and I don't think it's convenient."

To his voice Shu took out the hammer with his "instant gear" and scowled behind his back.

There stands a man there, his head scattered with a direct hammer.

But then... my head grew as if nothing had happened.

'... Zex, you told me before not to stand behind you, didn't you?

"I remember. But if Shu is standing at the tip of the bow, where else would he tell me to stand besides behind him?

The name of the man who gave birth to his head is [King of Crimes] Zex Würfel.

I am from the Kingdom, but I do not belong to the Kingdom.

Because they have been nominated by the kingdom a long time ago.

And nominations have been arranged not only by the Kingdom but by all seven powers, … perhaps the most famous criminals of today. (This will continue until a few months later there are criminals who outnumber him in the viciousness of the deed, such as [Plague King] or [Murder Princess])

'I can see you at the bow of the ship, so you just have to speak before you go up to the deck'

Shu leaks a tired voice somewhere, without even tailing the words.

For Shu, the position of a man named Zex is complicated.

A month after the start of the service, we met for the first time in the attempted kidnapping of the third princess - a case that would not have been attempted had it not been for Shu - perpetrated by Zex, and we have had some fringe since.

Most of that takes the form of Zex making a case and involving Shu, who was coming nearby on other errands. In fact, Shu thinks it's silly to count how many engagements we've had.

But these two have not only fought each other, but have fought together several times.

That's also because Zex's standards of conduct are consistent for both better and worse with "criminal activity against the law," and if Shu, who is involved in the case, decides that "the side exercising the law is wrong," he will also line up his shoulders.

For example, there was a custom in one mountain village to offer sacrifices to quell the mountain gods, and it was considered a felony to obstruct it.

Zex went to kill the mountain god when he said, "Then this I am like a criminal, and I must sin a great sin," and Shu also said, "I'll smash the mountain god if I just threaten to make a young child sacrifice." He still went to kill the mountain god.

In the end, at that time, the two of us played a big stand against the ancient legendary < UBM > God of the Mountains, and together we are destroying them. (Note that MVP was acquired by Zex)

That has happened so many times, so many times we have fought and so many times we have joined forces that we can never say we are one of them, but we can't even say we are enemies.

All I can say is that it's a corrupt relationship.

"So, what can I do for you?

"I got something like this the other day when I was involved in a case"

That's what Zex took out, it was like an old book.

'Didn't I get caught up in this, didn't I?... So, what's that?

"This is a material written about the Destroyer System Super Position [Destroyer King]. It's already written on lost terms."

…………

That was something I wanted so much that I could get my hands out of my throat for Shu, but when the person I'm offering becomes Zex, the story changes.

This guy moves a lot for reasons that people don't understand, but on the contrary, because he's a guy who doesn't do anything for a reason.

What are you asking for? It's not about you, is it?

"Yes. This is what I want"

"Ah. Wait a minute."

When Zex tried to state something, a group of event monsters appeared that formed a herd just within the range of the Valdor.

Not to miss this. Shu unleashes a Baldor artillery bombardment, which landed precisely in the middle of the group. The explosion wipes out the herd as it chooses the ground, and a dropped reward item is sucked into Shu's item box.

At that time,

[Over 100 million damage to objects (abiotic and non-monsters)]

[Conditional Liberation has unleashed a transfer quest to [Destroyer King]]

[Please find details in the transferable crystal to the broken house system]

Such an announcement arrived at Shu.

'............ what?

"What's wrong?

"... just now, [Destroyer King]... they have achieved the conditions for transferring to super positions in the Destroyer System"

…………

As far as Shu knew, a man named Zex was a constantly faint smile no matter what happened, but all that time he had an indescribable look.

I can also say that I have no choice because the seeds of negotiation in the corner have become worthless in front of me.

"But the condition you were losing is damage to the object... I see"

Conditions that anyone might be able to complete over time, as long as they understand.

But in the first place, the very act of prolonging and continuing to destroy just one thing, even if you break it, you get no experience or anything, is the first blind spot. More people would have discovered it if the damage to the monster was okay, but I guess I couldn't find it because it was an object.

Regardless of the time when there were uses such as breaking the gates of the opponent's forts and castles and smashing walls in war, there was no war for a while in < Infinite Dendrogram >. That seemed to be one of the causes of the loss.

But Shu is not the one who is bombing cannons in a grand way for hunting.

He's blowing up the woods on the ground like he's getting caught in a monster.

That would mean that it has accumulated so far and finally arrived at 100 million, seemingly more flashy than usual at this one-year event.

"Ma, it could have been anything. Now I can be in the same position as you guys."

"Congratulations"

Zex, undoing his expression, sincerely blessed him.

'By the way, what were you going to do for it?

"Now it's something I can't help but say, so I'll make it another opportunity"

'Right. Then I'm gonna keep moving. "

"Yes. I look forward to seeing Shu, who has become [Destroyer King]"

That's what Zex said, jumping off the deck of the Bardle to the ground.

Baldor, who unloaded Zex, moved on and began moving to a point where a transfer quest was made.

Dropping it off...... Zex muttered alone.

"Let this wish be another opportunity. Now, what kind of situation would Shu listen to my wishes?"

◇

An hour after breaking up with Zex, Shu was in a strange space.

The sky is high but not a cloud, and the color of the sky is white, not blue.

Front, rear, left, and right depths are nothing to the horizon.

And there was a door as huge as a skyscraper in front of Shu's eyes.

"I see, this is what happens"

Moving to the city, Shu touched a crystal that allowed him to move to a broken house lineage as directed by the announcement.

Then there was also [Destroyer King] in that list.

But the color is lighter than the other options.

If you touch that option,

[Do you want to try a career change?

An indication was given.

Shortly after Shu replied 'yes' to it, Shu was being flown into this strange space.

"So, this is it"

The only door that exists in this strange space says:

[Destroy the Gate of Trials with one blow]

[If successful, I will give you the seat of the next generation of [Destruction King]]

[If you fail, you will not be tried until a month later]

That's the quest to transfer to [Destroyer King].

A broken house system with STR-only status and high active skill against object damage correction, which can also be considered reasonable as a test for its super position.

…………

Shu thinks.

This trial is supposed to be set up so even Tian can complete it.

Originally, I guess it's like whether or not you can destroy STR and anti-object attack skills with a tien up to level kanst.

If you are casting a level and still receiving Super Embrio status corrections, you can destroy a dozen of them by sharing the active skills of the attack.

but......,

"[Destroyer King] 's terms, it's time for someone besides me to notice"

I already know Zex, and I don't necessarily want to run any other material that Zex no longer needs.

If it fails, there is also a risk that someone else will be ahead of you in the month leading up to the retry.

Considering that......,

"All the best, is it? It's tough to not be able to hunt for the first anniversary of eating in, but you can't replace your belly on your back.... Baldr '

Shu summons the battleship valdor.

Cannon bombing, letting battleships storm themselves, or... using special skills?

No. There were both options, but Shu didn't choose any of them.

Select the attack method with the most damage.

That is,

"Baldor, Suicide Bombing (...)"

It is the destruction of the door by the suicide bombing of the Baldor.

"The count is three, six, five seconds. I'll be back in the meantime."

"……………………………………………………………… (Rajar). 365, 364, 363…"

Valdor is a weapon and obeys the instructions of the Master.

Therefore, the suicide bombing order from the Master also accepted (although I said a great deal about it) and proceeded with the count.

During that count, Shu himself took as much distance as he could.

And shortly after Shu evaded just himself,

"Three, two, one, zero"

- Baldor caused a huge explosion called Tactical Nucleus.

After that explosion, the Valdor was also missing traces,

"All right, [Destroyer King] The gal I got"

... the gates of the trials had also become wood dust.

Here the trial was accomplished, and Shu Sterling took the seat of [Destroyer King].

It was just a year after the start of Infinite Dendrogram service.

◇

For the record.

Baldor recovered from the total loss of a suicide bombing approximately a week later.

It was not a skill attack from another person, but an explosion I made myself, so I am back to normal without any particularly weird after-effects.

"All right, from now on, Gallu will rise to a barrier level with the shelling of the Baldollar to catch up with the Figa public"

Shu summoned Valdor in a spirit, saying,

- Shortly afterwards, he was being punched by a suddenly running baldr.

It must have been, perhaps, an accident.
