Dungeon Master Online

in the future, the biggest gaming company Argus releases their newest game [Dungeon Master Online]. In this game rather than conquering dungeons players are tasked with making and defending a dungeon that is essentially their lifeline, without it death is permanent and they have to start over. Disclaimer: I do not own the image and the MC will get relatively powerful relatively fast. so if you don't like that leave before complaining, but I will take valid criticism of making my stat boosts too big. In that case, I won't hand one out for a few levels. also, suggestions, if made in the comments the day a chapter is written, won't be taken as I write all my chapters t once in chunks of five a week to be posted through the week, however, the last chapter in a chunk will take suggestions, also shorter pieces are made if I need community feedback sooner than expected and will lead into larger ones which will be five chapters long plus whatever is left of the last chunk.

Days pass and more intruders invade

It has been a week since Smaug joined. over the course of this week, Smaug had earned 600 DP for simply making it through the night and another 200 for killing four more eagles, his DP was now at 970 and his XP at 60 out of 100 needing only 40 more to reach level two. But over the course of this week, Smaug found himself not needing food, water, or even sleep. this fact was not lost on him as he watched the sunrise every morning. In the real world, it's only been 1 hour and 45 minutes. However, this day was different. while Smaug was near the core looking over his dungeon map and thinking about his future plans, an alert different from the rest appeared.

[Intruder alert, defeat the intruders for DP.

Type: humanoid

Element: none]

On the screen, it showed three figures: A dwarf that was slightly taller than the kobolds, who had a long braided hazel beard wore plate armor, and held a war harmer and tower shield, A human with short black hair and a more lean build who had leather armor and a short sword with a small round shield, lastly the elf the tallest of the group and the most elegant he had long blonde hair and held a staff wearing a flowing green robe with intricate designs on it.

"Hey, Romir, Dylan, be careful. we were sent here to monitor the wildlife as a surge is going to happen again soon but there are no signs of it. this can mean a few things but it's likely that a shit ton of magic power was being used into something, and this appears to be a worldwide concern it isn't just here." The Elf with a commanding tone reprimanded the admittedly rowdy party members.

To that statement, the human Dylan responded "Dridro, I know what you mean, but was this cave system on any map? it might be a new dungeon, we have to explore it, I hear it takes a lot of magic power to even form the core. it could very well be some sort of mass dungeon creation that drained a bunch of mana from their local veins causing a worldwide temporary shortage of mana inside the world vein."

In a form of snapback, Dridro responded with a bit more concern "that is even more reason to be wary of our surroundings who knows what is inside?"

With this remark, the Dwarf spoke up "It's new right? that means other than a few local monsters we are probably the first to see this place, that means we get to name it, we get to explore it, we get to have an exclusive monopoly on this dungeon and its type, if it's new it won't have anything good. however, what if it's something like a beast dungeon or better yet a dragon type? we are in the Draconis mountains after all, once the home of the great tyrant dragon. but if it's a good dungeon type, we should feed it and let it grow. information on a dungeon is worth a lot of gold, but information on a dungeon that is useful for high-end materials? we could very well be able to get decent and probably much-needed upgrades to our equipment, we are growing out of it."

The Dridro then responded with a defeated voice "ugh, I know Romir, I just, don't want to end up like every other adventurer who explores a dungeon a little too strong for them. There is no point in exploring the place if we can't get back to enjoy the rewards"

The human Dylan then took up a commanding tone before facing his party members "Then it is decided, as party leader I'll take command over this dungeon raid, as per protocol I must ask for any objections about the normal setup Romir up front as the tank, I am in the middle, and Dridro will stay in the back."

Once they officially entered their individual names appeared over their head, and their levels were astoundingly 10. Implying they have all been growing together at an equal rate since the begging of their adventures. As they walked forward they took the right path in the first room and slowly started to descend, as they came across their first group, not the one with Sca'Bla, but a different one, this group had three level one Kobolds, two level two kobolds, and lastly a level three mage. Dridro then pointed his staff at the group and cast a spell

"[Analyze]"

"Hey guys they are all Kobolds and a Kobold mage levels one to two with the mage being level three, G rank, and an F rank monster, nothing too special but look out, I'll cast some fire protection though, however, these guys look weird, it might have something to do with all of this smoke, but we'll have to take an intact corpse back for extensive analysis. but that does confirm, this dungeon does produce draconic-type monsters, meaning easy access to dragon scales of carrying strengths for scale mail for all adventures G to S once it gets there it seems, and who doesn't love free magical and physical defense for something as light as a day shirt?"

Back at the end of the dungeon, Smaug gave an order to his Kobolds

"I want them to leave alive, not uninjured but they have to be able to come back after some rest I need people to know my dungeon exists but I also want them to see the danger of my dungeon so they don't just come in here and start a farm in here, however, be careful they are all higher level, I'll send in Sca'Bla's group for now just hold them off."

As the battle started the level two kobolds charged both wielding spears but they were stopped by the Dwarf.

"he- not too strong are ya?"

then he swung his hammer and shot them to the left, then a level one kobold wielding a bow and arrow shot at the dwarf with his now down shield and got him right in the shoulder of his swinging arm.

Sorry for a lack of a chapter yesterday. BUT I did get voting support on my book so you can do that now, I just started it kinda at a bad time and they hadn't gotten to it yet.

anyhow, consistency is going to be wonky until I create a good schedule assuming I don't pass out after school as I did today. hopefully later in the year or maybe during summer vacation I'll be far better at making and keeping up with my own schedule.
