156 Dependable Ally? (1/2)
In a room with white walls that were pasted with various anime posters, a gaming capsule was placed in the room beside the wall.
The luminous computer screen reflected blurry figures. A Hatsune Miku figurine was placed on the computer table.
The computer screen was showing the new content on the discussion forum.
[The Battle Campaign Scenario is starting soon. Make a guess of the Plot.]
[Sherlie is cool. After seeing NotWearingPants' post on the Plot, Sherlie is hiding his shortcomings.]
[The Octopus Ball Devil Lord must go into the Instance Dungeon. Is the name of the NPC serious?]
[Who fought with Dragonborn before? I heard he's strong.]
[Preposterous! I heard Arthur used traps to capture a Large Lizard single-handedly!]
…
The person sitting in front of the computer looked at the wall clock that indicated 8 am.
The person stood up and walked into the gaming capsule.

[Welcome to ”Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom”. Current Version 0.20 (Battle Campaign, Sleeping Valley)]
[Using the character ”Peasant, Houndhead Man”]
[Loading game]
Before Peasant opened his eyes, his nose was filled with the familiar stench of Eternal Kingdom, which consisted of the odor of Gnomes, Goblins, and Houndhead Men.
He wasn't able to vomit. The pain threshold was adjusted to zero, so he wouldn't react to any smell.
But strong smells would still kill him. For example, the poisonous gas produced from the train's feces when placed in the bladder.
The veteran gamer, Hemp Rope Technology, who had the alias of Pioneer, had tested that out using his life.
”Peasant, are you awake? The Spider Meat with clay in your backpack was eaten by us.”
When Peasant opened his eyes, he saw an ugly Gnome face. Just by the face, Peasant recognized that he was NotWearingPants.
”Ah!”
Peasant was surprised and sat up abruptly. He was in a daze for a while before recalling that he had gone offline in the Dungeon so nobody could touch the belongings in his backpack!
He quickly searched his frog-skinned backpack. Thank goodness, the Spider Meat with clay was still intact.
Because of the updated BUG, the gamers were unable to obtain any meat from the kitchen. If they attempt to take the meat raw or try cooking it, there was the possibility of food poisoning. If the food in the Dungeon wasn't properly cooked, it was easy to get food poisoning.
”Peasant! Why are you always late getting online? Don't tell me you're going to classes during summer break!” The Gnomes BurningChestHair and Sylvanas were beside him.
”The Battle Campaign Scenario is starting soon. Let's hurry and join the expedition group.”
Sylvanas extended her hand and pulled Peasant up.
The nearby Arthur was seated while sharpening his sword.
In the Eternal Kingdom Teleport Portal Main Hall, a new Teleport Portal was created.
A few Stone Golems were clearing up the materials that were used to construct the Teleport Portal.
Lord Sherlock, who was wearing a long robe, stood by the Teleport Portal. He was surrounded by thousands of gamers.
Peasant, NotWearingPants, BurningChestHair, Sylvanas, and Arthur walked into the crowd.
Lord Sherlock waved his hand and lifted his black cloak that had a red underside.
”Warriors of Eternal Kingdom! The Void Legion of the Ancient Gods has arrived outside Winterfell. The entire Underworld is facing a catastrophic crisis! Warriors, your objective is to guard the Sleeping Valley tunnel. Creatures from Eternal Fire will be your allies and support you. But don't expect too much as they are in dire straits too. Warriors, the fate of the Underworld depends on you!” Sherlock shouted at the top of his lungs, and the gamers cheered.
”For Eternal Kingdom!”
”Let's begin!”
”Kill all the Ancient Gods!”
