Chapter 2120 – [Dungeon Maker.EXE]

I prepared a separate official announcement. Of course, there was something to prepare, but since it was an official announcement, an official name was needed.

Right now, for the sake of convenience, it’s called Labyrinth Island or something like that since it’s a labyrinth system, but since it left a deep first impression on people, it was better to give it a good name, so it wouldn’t be a problem later.

“Correct answer!!! Labyrinth of the World Tree!!!!!”

“It’s plagiarism!!!!”

“Then what about the labyrinth city?”

“That is the place where your mother and I became lovers back in the day.”

“I remember it was the 3rd time. When I think of you as a newbie, you were so fresh and cute when I think about it now.”

“Who can say that?”

“Oh, mom met her dad earlier than I thought.”

“The first time we met face to face was during the 2nd session. We didn’t meet each other during the 1st session…”

Ana quietly intervened. Since she is not a transcendental or a transcendental species, she is powerlessly ranked at the bottom of the family, but she seems to be the only one who remembers me from the first episode and secretly wants to brag about it as she was my first lover.

“I’m the only one who remembers him from the first round.”

“So aren’t you 2nd in your main wife’s ranking?”

“Tiv, who is that woman?”

“The position of the absolute ruler and the rank of the main body are separate!!!!”

First, after discussing various issues and submitting candidates, we came up with a good name. In fact, if I decided on my own, I thought the Choi family’s poor naming sense would come out, but when I did it with my family, something good came out.

Labyrinth Island Trial.

A place created to foster transcendental people on Earth. The labyrinth system was also given the official name Trial.

“Trial!!! Maximum Drive!!!!”

“Is it Accel? That was directed…”

“Double is a masterpiece overall, but the directing and CG are problematic.”

Anyway, we decided to make an official announcement. Then hold a press conference and gather people.

However, in this case, it was not just our domestic reporters and foreign reporters, but also reporters from the Gate District who had crossed the dimension. First, the exchanges are done gradually, so if you get permission, you can come over, but the act of crossing the gate itself would have been repulsive, so it would not have been easy, but I think they are quite passionate.

Even if it’s greed, it will make exchanges easier… As with anything, the first time is difficult.

“Thank you for visiting us today. The reason I am here is to explain to you about the island off the coast of Nampo and its facilities that you have been curious about.”

As it was a subject that I was already interested in, many reporters were engrossed and focused on my every move. The intention is not to miss anything.

And I told them what I had told the representatives of each country before. When entering a dimensional civilization, the existence of transcendental beings is inevitable and facilities that can foster them are needed.

“As Earth and Gate Earth begin to interact, we are getting closer to entering a dimensional civilization. If we develop dimensional jumping technology, it will not be that far away. However, there are many things to prepare before that, and some of them are problems that cannot be solved with money and time alone. There is one problem: the problem of the transcendent.”

“If you say you are a transcendent person…”

“Currently, there is only one transcendental person purely from Earth, my daughter Eden. There are at most two reincarnated people, including me. Having many transcendental people in a dimensional civilization gives us a stronger voice, so I think we must inevitably foster transcendental people.”

“Then the facility being built now is…!!!”

“Yes, the island off the coast of Nampo is such a training facility for transcendentalists. We have created an environment and facility where people can gain practical experience relatively safely and grow further to become transcendental.”

“Oooooh!!!!!”

I explained this and that about the Labyrinth Island Trial. First, we plan to develop it with support from each country, and at the same time, the countries that receive support will also be granted the right to enter the labyrinth.

Of course, if you misbehave on Labyrinth Island, we will permanently banish you or, in the worst case, execute you. There are some problems with executing foreigners, but that level of intimidation is necessary to deter powerful people. Of course, since it is the last resort, I have no intention of doing it.

… But if a bastard like Warlord appears while exploring the labyrinth, I’ll kill him right away. The transcendental person in the personality improvement class is going after the stronger transcendental person, so there would be nothing to say even if they were going after me.

“You can explore the labyrinth and climb up the tiers to gain strength and experience. Of course, you don’t have to worry about safety issues as we will obtain separate consent forms from challengers and apply resuscitation insurance. In addition, if you climb up the tiers, compensation will also be prepared. I plan to do it.”

“If you say compensation…”

“We are preparing a variety of things. In addition to simple goods, items that are not normally obtainable will also be given as rewards. Among them, elixir dilution is also included.”

“Elixir…!!!!”

Even though the elixir was given to many righteous people and people, there are still a lot of elixirs that are no different from the ones that Phantom and Gray used to kill in the past. There is also the fact that they gave a diluted solution rather than a concentrated solution, and the original solution was in the size of a plastic beverage bottle.

However, it was not supplied separately from the effectiveness of the elixir, which extends lifespan and rejuvenates, because it is not sold for money. If it were someone else, I might have taken it away through threats or something, but since I am the owner, I couldn’t even do that.

But can you obtain that elixir legally? If so, of course I will try my best to get it somehow. The method may be a little different, but I think it’s okay since the goal is to climb and conquer the labyrinth.

“The Labyrinth Island Trial. It is a place where all the countries on Earth cooperate to train transcendents. Those who want to become stronger are welcome, regardless of whether they are people with special abilities or ordinary people.”

That’s how the press conference ended. All that’s left is people’s reactions.

Among dimensional civilizations, places with a lot of transcendentalists don’t consider nurturing transcendentalists to be important, so they just leave it alone. I wonder what I would do if people with my family are less interested in nurturing transcendentalists and object to it, saying it’s a waste of money.

… Oh? Then, can’t I take this opportunity to resign? I’m really looking forward to it.

* ​ * ​ * ​ *

They say that you get betrayed because you expect something, but you don’t get betrayed if you don’t have expectations in the first place. So, if I hadn’t had expectations from the beginning, I wouldn’t have felt betrayed…

-Labyrinth? Dungeon? Fuck, it doesn’t matter. Running an open run haha

-If this is the case, isn’t it only for people with special abilities?

-If you tease him, he will learn this ability. Learning these skills isn’t difficult these days.

– We are recruiting 4-person pods to explore the labyrinth. Currently, there are two top-tier martial arts recruits. I’m looking for ADC with a psychic or wizard type.

-But there is no healer.

-Sell Eden’s water essence instead of potions!!!!

-You can be revived even if you die inside? Ah, I clear it with a broken straight sword haha

-Once you are revived, you are prohibited from entering the labyrinth for a week? And you also get a resuscitation fee.

-Ah… Then it would be impossible to just die.

-I have to turn on the lintel when I go in. If I stream the labyrinth strategy, I think I’ll get a lot of views.

-But you can buy elixir by giving points, but isn’t the number of points a joke?

-At what time did it all come together?

-Isn’t it okay to hire several people and have them do the hard work, then have one person drive them and buy the elixir?

-You are a genius!!!!! I think my IQ is 160!!!!!

No, there are already some bastards who are willing to abuse it. If you think about it, it really is.

Points themselves can be earned by conquering and exploring the labyrinth. There will be full-time explorers, so we plan to make it possible to work while taking livelihood issues into account.

Elixir is set at a number of points that cannot be obtained unless you ascend to a higher level of the labyrinth, but there are people who try to deal with this through sheer numbers and hard work. Of course, this applies not only to elixirs but also to other items with high points.

“Human greed has no end, and we seem to repeat the same mistakes…!!!!!”

“Do you know why the rules are set?!!! It’s to take advantage of something that isn’t set by the rules!!!!”

“I think I’ve prepared to some extent, but I’ve been dealt a blow. How do I fix this? Increase the point price?”

“Then the number of people willing to work will increase. People with money will do anything to extend their lifespan.”

There is an elixir from the Garden of Eden, but the elixir that extends lifespan is still not sold for money. Well, that’s why there is that elixir among the point products… In any case, rich people are probably willing to get rid of the product by making a profit, no matter how many people they hire.

It sucks to use shortcuts, but that doesn’t mean you can increase the point price. How do you do this?

“Isn’t it okay to create a level limit or something? I just thought, ‘Climbers below level 50 can’t buy this!!!!'”

“Oh, that’s it!!!!!!”

“Then, we will place separate purchase restrictions on point shop products. If you want to purchase them separately from points, we will attack the labyrinth to satisfy that condition.”

Are you teasing me, human? If you choose, climb the labyrinth.

In the first place, it is a business that asks you to become a transcendent by climbing the labyrinth. It is natural to provide those who are on the rise with the benefits and block in advance the shortcuts of those who only want to take advantage of the sweets.

Thanks to you, I was able to handle that part. However, a few more detailed issues arose and had to be dealt with, so it was mountain after mountain, and work after work.

“It feels like there are few jobs or options for people to conquer the labyrinth. Being a warrior or a wizard is better, but being a psychic or psychic is something you have to be born with.”

“That’s right.”

“Even if people from the Shenreth civilization participate, the main feature is their racial characteristics… I want to give them at least one option. I’m even planning on allowing ordinary people to join.”

“When you say that, it seems like you have something else in mind.”

“In short, ‘The labyrinth is dangerous. Take one of these kids!!’ Plan!!!!”

“Is it a Pokémon?!?!”

“Actually, that’s a meme from Zelda!!!!!”

Anyway, that’s Eden’s plan. Among the Ten Dragon Dances that Eden learned, Young Dragon is a specialized power for granting spirituality, so through it, small seeds of spirituality are created. And by mixing it with the four major elements of fire, water, wind, and earth, a pseudo-spirit was created.

“Huh?”

“And by attaching these to ordinary challengers one by one, they will prevent them from hitting the ground. Depending on the attributes of each spirit, a person’s fighting style will vary, and in the case of water spirits, healing will also be possible in rare cases.”

“Huh?”

“Of course, you won’t be strong from the beginning. But as you climb the labyrinth with the challenger, the spirit will gradually become stronger, so there is no problem.”

“No, anyway, is it okay to create a spirit…?”

“Oh, it’s usually impossible for me too. However, the Trial Labyrinth is a unique environment. If you look at it, Keter also helped build it, right?”

“So spirits can’t escape the labyrinth?”

“That’s not true. I don’t know when I’m weak, but when I gain a certain level of self-esteem and my bond with my partner becomes stronger, we’ll be able to go out of Labyrinth Island together.”

“Oh… That wouldn’t be bad.”

It was no different from Eden giving those who wanted to conquer the labyrinth one more option, becoming a spiritist. This ability can be learned acquired like martial arts and magic… Of course, there are some limitations, so it may be difficult in the beginning, but it will be worth developing.

Honestly, it feels different when I’m playing training content alone while other people are playing RPGs. However, as a balance patch, we need to ensure that those with existing abilities cannot obtain spirits in the early stages.

“Hmm, then only ordinary challengers will be given the initial spirit distribution rights. And, those with existing abilities will be able to obtain the spirit distribution rights as a reward after conquering a certain level.”

“If those with existing abilities also obtain a spirit, it would be better because the balance of the labyrinth would have to be improved from the beginning. Ah, but Eden, aren’t you only going to give away one spirit?”

“If you conquer the labyrinth, you might be able to get one more? Aim for the 4-attribute spirit master!!!!!”

“I guess some people like that.”

When it has grown to a certain level, even just one spirit will have many uses. However, if you can use two spirits, there is a kind of synergy that comes from it… If you add a fire spirit and a wind spirit, you can start a big fire by yourself, right?

No, it is said that even the water spirit can use the essence of water, so as the level increases, it will be of great help in first aid and other things without Eden. Even if it has the ability to treat abrasions, it can disinfect it, so I think it is highly effective.

[Oh?]

“What’s wrong?”

[It suddenly occurred to me when I was making spirits. Isn’t there a race that comes to mind first when you think of spirits?]

“Ah… Dimensional refugee elves?”

[They didn’t seem very interested in Labyrinth Island this time, so I’ll ask them.]

Elves have a conservative personality. This is understandable when you look at the number of elves who have not yet come out of the Garden of Eden, even though they could come out as many times as they like now.

They are like that, but how many kids can there be who claim to have created Labyrinth Island? At most, the kids who originally came out and were active will leave.

But if a spirit appears, how will it react? That is, if it is a system where you gradually become stronger with your partner as you climb the labyrinth, and as you climb, you can take spirits of different attributes with you.

Not long after that, Adelia, the representative of the dimension refugee elves, requested a meeting with me.

“I heard the story from Keter. Is the story of the spirit true?”

“Yes, but you can only operate on Labyrinth Island until your ego sprouts and grows to a certain extent. Unlike normal spirits, it is like an artificial spirit that was created artificially…”

“Where would that be? Even after our world was destroyed, and we found a new home, the fact that the spirits that were with us were no longer there remained in the back of our hearts. But if we could be together with those spirits again, we could do anything.”

“Oh, isn’t there Kether? And spirits?”

“If he is our spiritual guide, the spirit is a friend. It is an opportunity to gain a friend that will last a lifetime, so which elf would give that up?”

In her eyes, I could see that she was going to rush to Labyrinth Island at any moment. This means that the elves value spirits.

“As soon as Labyrinth Island opens, we will dispatch warriors from the village. If what the President wants is to climb the Labyrinth, we will also climb with the spirits.”

Later, when the Labyrinth Island Trial opens in earnest, occupations that are typical of fantasy, such as elf archers and elf spiritists, will likely be available there. On the other hand, it is a good sign that closed and conservative elves are actively coming out…

I expected it to be a big deal, but I wonder how much it will grow.
