The Tutorial Is Too Hard

I couldn't get all the information from Kirikiri.

Vaccines and prenatal perfections, how many.

Of course I did.

Kirikiri can only give you as much information as I've collected.

To get more information, I had to clear the stage again and collect information values.

I thought it would be better if this information value were expressed as a numerical value.

I've thought about it many times before, but I didn't think I would feel the same way after clearing the 60th floor.

“Rinse.”

“Don't rinse. Tell me about the next stage. ”

Kirikiri laughs in the bathroom.

Perhaps I am satisfied with the situation I am waiting for my own reply.

“The next stage is what you wanted. ”

“Me?”

“It's a little unusual. Usually, a challenger takes the stage as an apostle or a vaccine. But this time it's the other way around. ”

It's a stage on the other side of the vaccine.

Definitely interesting

I thought I would regret leaving it behind if I went to Earth without going through this stage.

“Is it a source to complete yourself? Eating everything you can see? ”

There were two ways to complete yourself after being swallowed by the source.

Control your own desires to regain your reason.

Eating and eating as soon as you shut up and filling your appetite to regain your senses.

Of course, the difference between the two methods was very large.

“No, it's not like that. It's the servant's role. ”

Servants?

“You'd better take your time and attack as slowly as you can. ”

That's all Kirikiri's advice was.

More than that, I had to go into the stage and check.

* * *

[You have entered the 89th floor stage.]

The 89th floor stage was a big stone chamber.

The area is littered with abandoned furniture and grabbing, and there is a lot of broken and broken timber that makes your behavior uncomfortable.

“This place reminds me of the old days. ”

Hotch mutters.

Hoch explained to dragon who looks at himself with mysterious eyes.

“This used to be my house. ”

Oh, you were talking about that.

I felt a sudden stabbing of conscience.

Hotch said "our house" because it's a 60-story residential area that I turned into a ruin in order to wreak havoc.

It was definitely similar to this at the time.

Hotch spent a few years in that shitty 60-story.

You could say it's short, but it's clearly imprinted on a newborn hotch.

I was embarrassed.

As I was clearing my throat, a message window appeared about the stage.

It was fortunate.

[Stage 89 begins.]

Description: You lived an ordinary life, and one day, you were summoned into an unknown community.

The creature who summoned you has promised to grant you one wish if you use the extractor in the cavity to draw out the energy of your target.

You have not yet decided whether that promise will be a return home or a new life.

But one thing's for sure, we must follow the orders of the creature who summoned you.

For your wishes that have not yet come true, and for your own survival.

You can collect energy through the extractor.

You can also purchase loads and traps with the energy you've collected to protect the extractor.

Prevent invasion by diverse enemies and protect the extractor to gather energy for your target.

-Clear conditions

Defend the extractor.

Use the extractor to collect energy.

I felt strange in the description of the stage.

It was a story I have seen a lot.

You've been summoned endlessly.

Buy some minions and traps to stop the enemy.

It looked like a common Defence game.

The stage description was focused on the extractor.

I could quickly figure out what the extractor was.

A human height machine is visible in the middle of a cavity with wooden debris spread out.

Looking down at the bottom, it seemed to be stuck through the floor.

I approached the extractor.

There were several items labeled as holograms.

[Dungeon Status]

[Dungeon Management]

[Energy Status]

[Purchase and Sale]

I could tell just by looking at the items.

“This is a dungeon. ”

Hotch, who approaches from the side, mutters.

Hotch was close enough to notice.

This extractor is the core of the dungeon, and the main purpose is to protect it.

A game of Defense and Management genres that gains energy through Extractors and uses that energy to stop enemies.

I asked Hotch with a gleaming eye at my side.

“Do you want to try it? ”

“Can I? ”

Of course it will.

The stages have been attacking both Hotch and Dragon lately.

Kirikiri also told me not to rush to clear it, so I had no intention of going.

I didn't find this dungeon very interesting.

I was excited and asked Hotch to call Yong Yong and press the hologram window of the extractor one by one.

“Judging from the dungeon situation, it looks pretty spacious. We can set traps and build a lot of men. Enemies can only be stopped by traps and minions, and Dragon and I can only deal with enemies who have come to this last room. ”

I nodded at Hotch's words.

It was thought to be a faithful offense.

If it had been me.

If I was risking my life to go upstairs, I'd run out there right now, wipe out all the hostiles in the area, and try to clear out Conquest.

Now there was no need, no reason.

I just watched Hotch and Yong Yong to clean the mess.

* * *

“No, Yong Yong. We need to replenish the traps before our men do. It's a big bust this time. ”

“But I prefer more men. ”

I had more disagreements than I thought.

Hotch favored trap-oriented attacks, and Yong just liked a lot of things.

Once or twice a day, an attack on the dungeon came.

Sometimes adventurers, sometimes soldiers. There were different kinds of enemies.

There were even visitors who entered the dungeon by mistake, and some who wanted to enter the dungeon for their personal eternity.

Thus, they stopped visitors, used them as bailiffs, and Hotch and Yong-yong developed dungeons.

Sometimes they argued with each other as if they were playing together, or were happy because they were on the right level.

It looked fun.

I was thinking about making this game later.

I'm not talking about computer games, of course.

It's actually about decorating and putting people in and playing with virtual spaces.

Of course, it would be a little dangerous for an ordinary person if I made it myself.

Nevertheless, I thought there would be someone who wanted to do it.

It's been three days since the 89th floor stage began.

I told you to take it easy, but it took longer than I thought.

Hotch and Yong didn't even care about the fact that they needed to accumulate the target's energy, and all the energy coming through the extractor was poured into the dungeon defense and interior upgrades.

At this rate, I couldn't be sure when this stage would end.

I liked Hotch and Yong Yong enjoying it, too.

I was a little bored, to be honest.

So I thought.

Kirikiri said he could get information from this stage.

I could get a rough idea of what it was.

Kirikiri said the stage would proceed as a servant of the finisher.

In other words, the challenger has been summoned here and the owner of this extractor is considered to be the finisher.

and the energy produced by this extractor.

Energy was being drawn up by the extractor from deep underground.

The power felt in this energy was similar to the source.

Of course, it wasn't exactly the same.

I don't know if it's the limits of the extractor or because it's always the source of the simulation.

However, it was clear that the identity of the energy was closely related to its origin.

“That's weird.”

“What.”

“I thought it came from a man called the power of origin. ”

Like faith.

Of course, I've heard a few times that it is influenced by the level of civilization.

Even so, I didn't think I could get it like this.

In many ways, it felt like common sense was being destroyed.

With equipment, it's easy to get a source like this.

“I think it's worth it. ”

Hotch said.

The hologram window was left to Yong-yong and Hotch approached me.

“It's land. It's home to the people who live here. Maybe.”

Hotch stops talking.

I asked urgently.

“Maybe, what? ”

“Maybe for the people on this planet, this land is all there is. Why on earth did they believe that the end of the world would come when they went to the ends of the earth? Just like that.”

Obviously it was.

In fact, I didn't have to go to the old days.

Even though people confirmed that the Earth was round and thought that there might be other civilizations and life unlike ours in the endless expanse of space outside the Earth, people thought that the Earth was the whole world.

For them, the Earth was all there was.

because there was something beyond the universe, and nothing would come to them, and their world would only return to Earth.

“The feelings people have in their land, in their homeland and in the world are like beliefs. Maybe that has something to do with the source. I think so. ”

Is that so?

Hotch spoke with a pretty convincing voice.

But I didn't empathize much.

“Of course. You have no attachment to your hometown. ”

It was fun.

Hoch, who was born in the tutorial, told me how he felt about his hometown.

But it was true.

Like Hotch said, I didn't have much attachment to my hometown.

Korea or Earth.

“Don't be so nervous. We'll all find out someday. ”

Hotch said so and went back to Yong-yong.

“Someone's nervous. ”

I opened my mouth later as if to make excuses, but Hotch was not listening to me.

Horses lost their way around me.

* * *

“Boring, aren't you?”

“Huh."

Hotch talked to me.

It's already past the full moon since the stage began.

I'm going to die.

Boring.

“Get out. ”

“Get out?”

Wow, you're kicking me out now?

I felt like I was kicked out of the house in my name on my wife's back rice.

It was unfair.

“Why are you bothering yourself again? If you're bored, go out and come back. I just have to go out and do something. ”

Hotch looks at me and says, "You're pathetic."

I asked him what was going on.

“What is it?”

“Here.”

Hotch gave me a purple jewel.

"It's a token," Hotch said.

“If you use it, your men will show up. Normally, subordinates are used to defend dungeons, but they also need an attack. I need it to free my men outside. Use it near the village outside the dungeon. ”

I mean...

The plan was to create a commotion outside to distract the attackers.

There's all sorts of things.

“If you use this, are those ‘subordinates’ just summoned to stir up trouble? ”

“No, it's like a package deal full of people. It creates subspace, and his men multiply in it. And then when the subspace capacity grows tight enough, we send a certain number of men outside to attack the perimeter. ”

It was more uncomfortable than I thought.

“Then we'll just have to wipe them out in subspace, and the men will be slaughtered. ”

“The subspace is not closed until it breaks the nucleus of the subspace deepest. ”

It was difficult to use because I didn't want to have to.

I'd rather just let some monsters live.

“It's semi-permanent self-expansion unless you close the subspace instead. If the enemy doesn't have the ability to kill all of the subspace's subordinates, he can harass them indefinitely. Perfect for removing enemies from the dungeon. And most of all.”

Hotch emphasized that this is the most important.

“There's contamination around the subspace. ”

“Pollution?”

“They say wildlife is ravaged and turned into monsters. ”

The beast from the source I met on the 40th floor had similar abilities.

Make the creatures around you into monsters.

It was exactly the same as entering the sub-space and hiding his identity.

Did that monster become the motive for this token?

Like Hotch said, I went to a village outside the dungeon and tried something called a token.

I could tell right away.

What it is.

and what information Kirikiri said he had to find out on this stage.

“This is a gate. ”

The subspace that appears in the place where the token was used.

He looked so much like the gate that he appeared on Earth.
