“First question. Information on this dungeon. I want every information on this dungeon. From it’s how strong, to what kind of monsters are here, resources, etc. Every single information.” Victor was capable of facial expressions now that his flesh was almost normal, and complete. Despite that, he had been keeping a straight face when he was before the adventurers.
He had watched a lot of movies and ani, and he could feel that those characters that didn’t show their expressions and emotions were usually the most dangerous. Unless it was so kind of romance/slice of life ani, this was the rule.
The adventurers kept silent for a while, before casting quick glances at each other, their eyes finally settled on the guy who was the only level 5 in their group.
‘Ugg. These pussies!’ He cursed in his mind.
Victor saw their eyes and where it was pointing, and he had also noticed that the level 5 was their leader, obviously. ‘He should have the most knowledge, I guess?’ Victor said ntally.
“Everyone seems to be looking at you. So, spill it. Unless you want to pay your respects to the yama of hell..” Victor said, as his cold blood eyes shimred through the poorly lit room..
“Ye-yes. This is an unregistered dungeon that gained popularity not long ago, underground. It is said to house many good rewards too. Although it goes up to floor 50, the monsters are not as terrifying…” The level 5 adventurer went on in his explanation, and when he was finally done, Victor was able to gain a lot of useful information.
The dungeon Victor was in now is a newly ford dungeon with a cave-like environnt. It had 50 floors, which was much. But the monsters weren’t as high level, and the rewards were golden. Normally, the more the reward, the more dangerous the dungeon. But this one was different. This one gave good rewards, but less danger. Though, it was reported that after the 40th floor, the level of monsters does increase exponentially. Because of this, the final floor is still unreachable, and nobody ventures too deep.
According to the adventurers information, a certain group of people, who according to the adventurer were part of a guild, had entered the dungeon soti ago in attempts to reach the final floor. Although the dungeon gave good rewards, if it wasn’t cleared before 6 months, a phenona known as a dungeon break would occur.
It had already been 3 months since this dungeon appeared, so efforts to close it have been made, and strong groups of people have started preparing for the expedition.
The monster types in the dungeon were different depending on the floors. From floor 1 – 5, undead rood the place, and all of them were at most level 7. Victor could tell, as the zombies with him currently were all level 1 zombies, just like he was before. From 6 – 14, beast type monsters rood the place, and their level was between 4 and 10. From 15 – 30, a mixture of insects and reptiles filled the place, with levels between 5 and 15. 31 – 39 went through an underground water system, so the monsters are mostly aquatic, with levels from 3 – 10. Above level 40, the last recorded was on the 41st floor, and the monster the adventurers who went there t was a monster whose level was 75.
With this information, Victor’s next question presented itself. If level 75 was considered a high level, then what was the level of the top person in this world?
He wasted no ti thinking about it himself, and asked the adventurers. The level 5 adventurer was the one who answered for the team, yet again.
According to what he said, this world Victor found himself was the worst type he would ever have wanted to be reincarnated in. If the top ranker in the world had a level of 235, that only confird his agonizing suspicion. This was a world with level functions resembling a broken Japanese manga world, where levels could reach 999, or in so severe cases, 9999.
In case one didn’t know, rankers are individuals with levels above 90, or those one in a lifeti individuals with skills that didn’t warrant them be a high level to be able to end a hoard.
‘Ah, what is this?! Who brought to such a world? It had to be one of those bored goddesses.’ Victor cried in his heart.
After he finished crying, his heart was put at ease a bit. According to the adventurer, the person following behind was a level 127. This top ranker was only an anomaly kind of existence. Though, he was humanities only hope when a dungeon that threatened the existence of humans appeared, but for many years after that, he had not increased in level.
“I see. That ans there’s a real big problem here. If at floor 42 the level is 75, one can only imagine how much stronger the boss monster is.” Victor said while rubbing his smooth chin.
In this world he was in, the boss monster of a dungeon was always protecting/guarding sothing, like a treasure, alongside the dungeon core. To close a dungeon, the core will need to be destroyed. If it is not destroyed, the monsters will keep spawning after so ti, normally within a week or more.
“If the guy after the top ranker is only a level 127, the big guy might be needed.” Victor said, still rubbing his chin. As to where a zombie learnt how to rub its chin, the adventurers could only wonder.
“Alright, last question. Why the fuck did you idiots enter this dungeon? Wouldn’t the good stuff be at least after the initial floors? Can you really survive?”
“That.. After the first floor, valuable crystals start appearing, and not all of it has been taken, so we can still profit a bit.” The adventurer answered hastily.
“…”
“Alright, that’s all.” Victor said. Before he could continue his sentence however, he was rudely interrupted.
“D-Does that an we can go now!?” The only girl of the group said, her face rattled with a mixture of fear and expectedness.
‘Humans really.. Heh..’ Victor thought in his mind, as though he wasn’t one himself in his pat life.
Well, Victor had always hated human nature and how people behaved. It wasn’t surprising that he would say this.
“Of course, I always keep my word.” Victor said, still with an un inexpressive tone and face. “Do say hi to the yama of hell for . Tell him to sell my space in hell.” Victor said, as the only sight of smile he showed the adventures blurred away before them, and next they were laying still on the floor with fist size holes through their chests and stomach.
There was no ti for them to even react, nor cry in pain. They could only bleed out while only being able to mutter inaudible gibberish.
“Imagine trusting a monster that tell you that they’ll let you go after giving them information. Pft, this ain’t no beauty and the beast.” As Victor made the joke, it dawned on him that he had forgotten to ask about the outside world, and what kind of period it was. The adventurers wore outfits that looked like the middle ages, but isn’t that the style of dungeon clothes? Even in ani and manga.
SAO was so advanced, having neural-links, but the ga world was still middle aged kind of style, Victor thought, as he couldn’t help but sigh. ‘I’ll be sure to ask the next person I et.’
If the group that killed him last was the sa group that went to challenge the floors above 40, that ans he would be eting them very soon.
‘Pay back will be sweet.’
