◈ The Dungeon Gallery's Terrifying Newbie ◈
Chapter 10: UFC
──────
So.
To put it simply, I was an ordinary person.
I was a freelancer, living a dull life that everyone, including myself, agreed would never undergo any dramatic changes.
Click!
But these days, I was living a rather extraordinary life.
As the owner of a dungeon called Dreamland.
And.
└orange★: This is real...
└sealedphilo: So this is what the Lowjinrat Great Mountain Range looks like.
└sealedconq: It doesn't look very different from my dungeon.
└kingslayer: Don't talk shit.
As a member of the Dungeon Gallery, too.
└whaleyeah: The air looks nice and clean.
└antqueen: I showed it to my children, and they said they want to run around there too.
└golemking: Nice view.
└dip: Trolls and Goblins swarming all over such a peaceful-looking mountain... Horrifying...
According to the head mod, Dungeon Masters could not leave their dungeons at all.
Honestly, I could hardly believe it when I heard that.
Even a homebody wants to step outside at least once a month. That was just human nature.
If it were me, I would feel like killing myself.
└no_minions_4_me: Being able to go outside is pretty damn enviable...
└anonbutcher: ...A little.
└no_minions_4_me: ?
└anonbutcher: Ah, I was trying to delete that and hit Enter by mistake...
└no_minions_4_me: LOL.
└cowhead: I could tolerate the level flexing, but I seriously can't tolerate freedom flexing, fuck...
└dm_disappointed: newbie only posted it because the head mod told them to.
└tvhead: I'm a little jealous too.
└squintychar: Hmm... Is it really that serious...?
psychward_mvp: Birds with free wings want to escape their cages. Are we really any different?
└magichero: W-w-w-what's that supposed to mean, you weeb...?
└psychward_mvp: I was trying to set the mood, you fucking bastard.
└humanluvr: A place I want to go on a date with newbie... T_T
└3mhamster: You're a vampire, so you'll die if you wander around in the sun...
└humanluvr: Love will make it work somehow!
└skullbones: ?
└imaclown: I'm getting the urge to NTR... Of course, I mean stealing newbie.
Besides the users who were not commenting right now, there were plenty of Dungeon Masters like me in the Dungeon Gallery.
The world was full of enemies targeting dungeons.
They were people who had somehow survived on their own from the very beginning.
It might sound ridiculous.
Compared to the hardships they endured with their lives on the line, my own life had been utterly ordinary.
Still, the time they spent struggling to survive and the time I spent desperately getting by felt like they overlapped a little.
└newbie: You guys have had it rough. Good job.
For some reason, I wanted to tell them that.
And.
└orange★: ?
└sealedphilo: ?
└sealedconq: ?
└kingslayer: ?
...
...
But fuck that.
There were countless Mia-pings beneath it.
└orange★: So arrogant...
└kingslayer: But why doesn't this feel bad...? What is this feeling?
└squintychar: Maybe I just fell for newbie after hearing that.
└sealedphilo: Waaaah... newbie, give me more head pats. T_T
└humanluvr: Absolutelymefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirst
Worrying about these bastards was a waste of time.
Still, this was very Dungeon Gallery-like. It was nice to see.
└worldiscold: I'm still fucking suffering, so please give me some head pats too...
└whaleyeah: LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
└magichero: H-h-honestly, if I'd been dropped next to the World Tree, I think I would've killed myself...
└newbie: Hang in there...
I sent a few words of comfort to worldiscold, who was fighting alone in elf territory.
└no_minions_4_me: This gives newbie more options now.
└golemking: If skullbones or dip went outside, an Undead catastrophe would begin immediately...
└dip: If anyone's going to cause trouble, humanluvr would probably be better at stirring things up.
└anonbutcher: I wonder if Minions can go outside too.
Come to think of it, there was something I was curious about.
└newbie: What level are you guys?
└worldiscold: I'm the lowest level here, and I'm 250.
Excuse me?
Why was that so high?
└newbie: I suddenly feel deprived...
└worldiscold: newbie, do you know how long it took me to reach level 10?
└worldiscold: It took a year, so please don't say that, you bastard who reached it in one day...
└newbie: Ah, lol...
I'd flexed without meaning to.
Ahem.
└newbie: Anyway, I'll visit your dungeons someday, guys. Hehe.
└squintychar: Haa... What a filthy gay bastard... newbie, do you want to see me go crazy?
└newbie: I'll pass on you for now.
└squintychar: I'm sorry.
└psychward_mvp: Really?
└anonbutcher: Haha... If you come, I'll treat you well.
└magichero: P-please come visit me too. I'm not very good with words, but...
└worldiscold: Come deal with these fucking elves.
└humanluvr: Absolutelymefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirstmefirst
└humanluvr: Ifnewbiedoesn'tcometoseemeImightturnpitchblackanddie
└no_minions_4_me: That's not how it works... You visit whoever's closest... Come see me too. o_o
└golemking: I'll show you what Steampunk can really do. Come into my arms!
└dip: Want to see a skeleton??
└skullbones: I'm better looking than that one's Minion. LOL, come this way.
└whaleyeah: Once we confirm Minions can go outside too, let's raise newbie into a tactical nuclear weapon. Wouldn't that let us control the dungeons?
└tvhead: That's still a fucking long way off, so quit talking nonsense and join in. If newbie comes as a guest, I'll treat newbie well too.
└whaleyeah: I have a whale at my place. Want to come see it?
It was about time to head back.
I'd finished providing proof, and the chat was in a good mood.
I was just about to turn off the hologram.
└orange★: How should I put this? It's been a while since things felt this warm.
└orange★: I'm glad you're the newcomer.
└orange★: Come visit me too.
└orange★: And welcome to the Dungeon Gallery.
└orange★: Come to think of it... I never said that. (Awkward)
Was this what it felt like to be acknowledged by the administrator?
It was not bad.

The last Wave I'd stopped had been ten Hobgoblins.
I'd bought traps and other miscellaneous things before the Wave, so I had no Points left aside from the 10,000 I'd earned as a reward.
I hadn't invested in my stats.
Seeing as they'd increased anyway, it seemed the System automatically raised them when I leveled up.
How much stronger had I become physically?
I'd have to ask the gallery later.
【Anomaly Slime(★1)】
【Price : 500P】
【Tags : Anomaly, Immortality, Harmless】
【Quickly cleans up trash inside the dungeon.】
First, cleaning.
I opened the Minion menu and bought an Anomaly Slime.
Regular slimes were available too, but there was no price difference, and this one had the Immortality tag. It seemed better.
They had told me not to buy Minions, but even the Dungeon Gallery Veterans, including no_minions_4_me, seemed to use slimes often. It should be fine.
A moment later.
Plop!
Something tiny and adorable popped out of the white floor.
"Oh. So you're a slime."
It was a lump of transparent liquid.
Sniff, sniff. It was literally colorless and odorless.
Kneading it in my hands reminded me of playing with slime as a kid.
The slime slipped right out of my grasp.
It devoured the scattered debris on the floor in an instant, then seeped into the hallway.
"Oh..."
What was that? Scary.
Was it going to clean up the remaining trash on its own? I left it alone.
"Let's see."
What should I spend the remaining 9,500P on?
For now, there were no Anomaly-theme products I could reasonably buy.
There were no Minions at all.
I probably had to level up to unlock higher-grade Minions, but the names were fucking brutal. Doppelgangers, Neck-Snapping Monsters, Intelligent Parasites, and so on.
Not that I'd buy any.
Still, I might have to consider them someday if I encountered humans or troublesome intruders, so I familiarized myself with them for now.
"Good."
When I had a problem, the gallery was the answer.
I made another post today.

Title: Posting a Photo of dip and golemking Fucking
Author: newbie
I don't know what to spend 9,500P on...
Recommendations, please...
*Comments
golemking: You don't have to bait people, fuck. Everyone replies to whatever you say.
dip: You fucking bastard.
antqueen: My heart skipped a beat for a moment.
squintychar: LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL
──────
Worked like a charm.
They also asked me to show them the trap list and trait list in the comments.
I'd ask this one question, then quickly take screenshots and post them.
└newbie: There's something else I want to ask you guys. How strong is having 22 in all stats?
└golemking: You've still never fought by yourself even once?
└newbie: Yeah, I haven't...
└golemking: That's pretty legendary...
I'd dealt with everything using traps so far.
I never had a reason to step in myself, so what was I supposed to do?
└dip: It might not be a bad idea to fight once while you have the chance.
└squintychar: Trolls might be a little dicey, but Goblins should be fine now. Yeah...
Huh.
You want me to defeat enemies with my own hands?
└newbie: That's kind of scary...
└antqueen: What are you going to do if an enemy gets through all your traps and things later?
└humanluvr: I want to take newbie's side whenever I can, but you need the experience as a Dungeon Master.
Even humanluvr, a newbie fan, talked about the need for combat.
If she was going to put it that way, then sure.
└newbie: Yeah, okay. I'll try it.
└humanluvr: I want to see newbie fighting too!! Make sure you post it!!
There was no reason not to.
