Mangem's Paladin

November 2019

The bounty hunters did not dissolve, although it turned out to be too difficult to defeat the players. They were unreasonably obsessed with player hunting. It's not a bounty, it's like putting players in the army is the purpose itself.

It was no longer considered immoral for people with weapons to break into the player's family or take the player's family hostage and force the player to surrender. Citizens thought: What's so bad about what you're doing here? Wouldn't it be better for you to suck honey and refuse conscription?

Under that logic, it was a situation where players were trying to raid their families with their wealth.

The military took this situation positively.

The military rented firearms to civilians who were either paparazzi or bounty hunters. It was a reason that wandering the streets of the fortress could be dangerous, but the real reason was almost obvious. If he was going to do something hard, he would have done it right.

As a result, the vagaries of players and armed citizens escalated to the level of engagement.

Almost all of the martial arts casualties came from armed citizens. Anyway, the superman was a superhero. In the same way, armed citizens who were defeated to follow or raid players did not give up, but united.

Armed citizens were organized like militia and raided players.

Dead or Alive. The army paid the bounty, whether they captured the players alive or killed them and brought the bodies. The military knew that players did not necessarily need to be captured alive. I've got a few priests who can place resurrection orders.

Several players were beaten or killed and taken to the army.

January 2020

Players also rallied against organized citizens. Players formed a kind of underground organization and raided a player hunting organization composed of armed citizens.

The combined power of the players outweighed the power of the armed citizens in every way. Armed citizens had to be hit by assaults from crusaders with little fire extinguishers, magical bombardments from wizards who instantly moved and overflew with transparency, and shooter shooters with assault rifles.

Several player hunting organizations were destroyed in an instant.

After all, the army could not lay a hand on the courtyard where the citizens were dying. The military planned a major player subjugation operation. It was an extreme premise that once killed, some could be resurrected and eaten.

March 2020

The player subjugation operation failed before it even started. Someone in the military told the players that a subjugation operation would take place.

Players fleeing the military forces hid into the dungeon. Into that deep underground that the army cannot pursue.

Dungeon Online was the place where the underworld god Pluto was waiting on the 666th floor, named 'Infinite Dungeon'. The game was only a leveling place for players, but not for the military. The Infinite Dungeon swallowed up the armies of countless nations earlier.

The National Army did not intend to step on the same precedent.

The army decided not to go underground, but to block the entrance. One day, if you can't stand it and run off to the ground, you're going to catch it.

April 2020

There has been a serious setback in the supply of military munitions.

The Kobolts, armed with modern weapons, did not appear in the Instant Dungeon. It soon meant that the army could not defeat the Kobolts and take the munitions that were piled up in their warehouses.

It was a very serious problem to get ammunition, especially from cobalt. Ammunition dropped by Kobolts in yards where the munitions factory was not operational accounted for more than half of the military's ammunition supply. Although I sold player ammunition on a magic machine, it was too expensive to supply to a military general.

The division chiefs in the courtyard, where the establishment of the army was shaken, came to one conclusion.

GM intervention was evident.

The dungeon's online steering committee did not look at the military as a multiplier, not as players. The case of Incheon, who was annihilated by divine punishment when he tried to hit the tower, became clear. As an unprecedented precedent, this situation has now been interpreted by the Steering Group as indirectly helping its players.

The troops compromised to lower their tails immediately.

May 2020

The army offered peace to the players. Colonel Gossip, a field officer and crusader player, stepped forward as an envoy of peace.

Commander Rubber took a few players from the army into the basement. The entrance to the Infinite Dungeon was widespread in each place, but connected to each other. Thanks to this, Rubber Colonel was able to meet all of the players' underground organisations even if he sold only the items hard.

Reconciliation was swift. Colonel Ruby was very successful in arranging the reconciliation.

Soon after, the players who had been hiding underground returned to the ground.

The peace terms put forward by the players stipulated that players could not be conscripted from the army or punished for the past. The military accepted that condition. This allowed the players to flee from the tower and return to society even after the military penal code was scheduled.

June 2020

Players demanded compensation for past persecutions as well as punishment for armed citizens who attacked them. The military merely risked the reward according to its accusations, and evaded its responsibility by saying that it had no authority to punish civilians.

Players interpreted the words as meaning to do it with my own hands if they wanted revenge. They did.

The player hunting organization had already been dissolved for a long time, but individuals belonging to it remained. Players went to their homes and retaliated.

The level of reprisal beaten through 'compassionate forgiveness like a hoe'. Players have reduced the number of fingers they see in front of their families or inflicted a level of retaliation that makes them crippled.

The remaining minority police failed to arrest or deter angry players. Now the players have not shown the same respect for public authority as before.

Citizens had to regroup to avoid personal retaliation. Firearms rented from the military have already been returned. Citizens had no choice but to rob each other of their possessions and obtain a floating gun and arm themselves.

Players didn't have to go out to help them. The militia's army, which defined them as illegal armed groups, overflew the poor Azite.

Gunwook had nothing to do in prison. Unlike other prisoners, it was a plaque that did not even bother Gunuk.

In order to forget the nudity, Gunwook devoted his time to his training. Push and swordsmanship training that you used to do when you were blunt.

It wasn't easy to practice swordsmanship anyway. The swordsmanship book in one room was an unreadable object. The language was different, but the illustration was difficult to understand.

In such an illustration, he wielded his sword by imitating it. Made a fictional enemy in my head, constantly revised and supplemented how to swing it. I learned the skill half way.

Thanks to a brief lesson from Seo Johan, Shield Bash, the only skill he knew for sure, practiced the movement over a hundred times a day. I repeated stabbing a hypothetical enemy with my shield.

That's how time went by. Gunuk did not know the passage of time, as he only repeated his training like crazy. It was a place without even a night and day distinction. In order not to go crazy, I needed distance to be enthusiastic. Moreover, Gunuk was more exhausted by his training, and the hypothetical enemies in his head became more pronounced and vivid, and Gunuk's strikes, which cut off his breath, continued to be sophisticated.

It was only time that remained. Gunwook swung his sword against the wall and swung again. Keep going, keep going.

March 2021

Despite the peace, the players started levelling in earnest.

Players no longer carry soldiers as reinforcements. I refused to request a collaborative operation from the military. In the past experience, it was a courtyard with a perception that it was not the same player, whether military or civilian, that they were of a different race.

As in the game, players now party with other players and travel underground. He wielded his spear, memorized his spells, and fired with an enhanced firearm.

In the process, players accumulated their own combat experience.

Players who used to be Spec's only half-breed supermen gradually gained the ability to fight as human weapons. Just like the RPG characters.

April 18, 2023.

GM Uther announces new news to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the online dungeon.

It was to recruit new players. From now on, the general public has gained a level to become a player.

There was a simple way for the announced public to become players, but when they went underground and fought monsters, the gods they watched would make them their fighters.

May 2023

Thousands of people jump underground with worn-out shotguns or weapons less than that. A pox man died, but some were born as LV.1 players.

The military understood the situation as an opportunity to power up. Now the players, of course, were not even supporters of the military. As the size and influence of the army diminished, the army wanted to foster player soldiers directly in the courtyard.

Structured combat and trained soldiers entered the basement. They were born as LV.1 players at a much superior rate than armed citizens.

However, newly born military players did not want to remain in the army. They wanted to hunt and earn money as a personal entitlement, and they wanted to struggle against civilians and the rest of the world. More senior players than ever before.

Senior players have actively assisted their entire team. He made provision that players could not be conscripted from the army, or helped them escape if they were not eaten, and hid them among themselves.

The relationship between the army and the players has become harsher every day.

August 3, 2025.

GM Eupeter foresaw the Conquest content. When the details came to light, all the division leaders were appalled.

The goal of the conquest content was local occupation. Occupying an area for a certain period of time can become the lord of the occupied area. The Lord may collect taxes from residents. You can adjust the selling price at your own pace by adding a tax rate to the city's magic vending machine. A gamical system ensured its authority.

I could not allow such absolute power to pass on to the players. The division commanders assembled all the troops to prepare for the occupation of the area.

However, GM may also intervene when the military player is seen as such. The division commanders, who were so worried, started drinking in their own way. After jumping underground and fighting, the commander himself became a player or delegated command of the Conquest to a player representative.

Gogyeong, who was promoted to Colonel a while ago, was delegated the right to operate in the occupied capital, Seoul.

Similarly, the players were organized and united against the troops that had finished preparing for the battle.

September 2025

On the day of the update of the Conquest Content, the Crusaders, called human chariots, were advancing with a neutralizer, while the actual chariots on the other side emitted fire from the crater.

Only a few days later, the conquest ended. In the Korean Peninsula, the lords of players with the title of Count Kangwon and Count Chungcheong were born. A few days later, he was elected to the King by the vote of the lords.

In the 21st century, the south of the peninsula became a feudal state.

Since then, the history of the new kingdom has continued.

In the deep underground, Gunwook continued his training, which seemed to never end.

Since when have other prisoners been held in empty cells? It was the players who looked like the Orientals.

They weren't locked up in a good cell like Gunwook. Several players remained in one cell, but Gunwook could not feel superiority as he looked beyond the window. Rather, they were jealous that they could talk to each other.

After all, what Gunwook did was always the same. Training and training.

I don't know exactly how much time has passed, but when it became clear that much had passed, a guard approached Gunwook's cell.

"Congratulations, Knight."

Gunwook halfway ignored the words by wielding his sword. The keeper was indifferent.

"How long have you been ready to face the sun?"

Then Gunwook reacted.

"What?"

"Freedom. Your ransom has finally been paid."
