[The Conquest of the Underground Tomb and Bulletin Board 3!]

“Uoooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Drop dead, you damned undeaaaaaaaaaaad! Activate art, ‘Speed Burst’, ‘Power Burst’!”

“Gugagaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”

After strengthening Pontaro with Summoner’s arts, I fired him to unleash a massacre upon the zombies!

The jet-black light-clad arrow drew a complex and bizarre trajectory, penetrating one zombie after another!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

‘Giant Killing’ activates! Damage increases!

‘Fatal Strike’ activates! Damage increases!

Critical hit! Damage increases dramatically from hitting a weak point!

‘Heartless Shinigami’, activates! Critical hit damage increases!

8 Murder Zombies are defeated! Yuri and Pontaro have gained experience points!

Yuri’s level has reached 15!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Let’s gooooooo!!! Three of my skills activated in a row, and I leveled uuuuuuup!

I knew I made the right choice wearing these insane accessories! Even if they’re insane, their insaneness would be canceled out when worn by a perfectly sane and smart guy like me and they would turn into your usual damn fine accessories! Gahahaha! Plus minus zero!

“Ki, kishasha~!!”

“Huh? What is it, Pontaro?”

Pontaro drew ‘－×－’ in the air for some reason. Mm, was it trying to ask the result of one times one or something? I couldn’t understand him! [T/N: ‘－’ is a Japanese character for 1]

As I giggled at my cute underling’s eccentric behavior, it happened.

The ground suddenly blew up and two zombies appeared!

“Gugaaaaa!”

“Kiiiiiiill!”

The damned zombies leaped at me as they drooled!

Since Pontaro was playing around, he couldn’t come to my rescue right away. If it was the previous me, this would have been dangerous for me, but…

“Do your work Guuuuuuuuuts!”

Just as I’d expected, ‘Guts’ activated the moment I got hit! I had 1 HP to begin with, so I practically received no damage!

Moreover!

“Come, Ponjiro! Ponsaburo!”

““Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!””

Summoning two arrows emitting jet-black light in my hands, I swung them out like dual swords to cut the heads of the zombies!

Upon hit, critical hits and multiple damage-increasing Skills were triggered, and the zombies died in an instant!

“That was well played! Good job, you guys!”

““Kishasha~!”” The two arrows energetically cried almost as though saying, “Thank you for the praise, Boss!”

They were Living Weapons that I’d finally found after ravaging ‘Underground Tomb of the Shinigami’! The two of them had appeared simultaneously for some reason, so after I had made short work of them, they had come under my wing simultaneously!

After Pontaro, I’d failed to tame every single monster I’d defeated, so I was honestly worried for a while until I’d tamed them. Maybe defeating monsters of the same type as your underling made it easier to tame them. I’d write it on the strategy guide site after verifying it.

“Alright! Let’s keep this up and completely take over this underground tomb! We’re also going to add more Living Weapons to our ranks, and then we’ll form our own gang!”

“““Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”””

Pontaro and co were on fire, too! Accompanied by my floating underlings, I walked deeper into the underground tomb.

Can someone explain to me the plot of this game, and what should I do to clear it?

I just bought it because I heard it’s the latest VR game, so…

282. A Passing Adventurer

The Demon King has scattered dungeons all over the world. You should defeat the bosses lying in wait in the depths of the dungeons and bring peace to the world.

Well, since it’s a game, the bosses will respawn over and over again, though lol

During the beta test, the player who defeated a boss first would have their name announced to all players.

It’s only the second day since launch, but isn’t it about time for the top players to conquer a dungeon or two?

Like, the Underground Tomb of the Shinigami, perhaps. Its recommended level is only level 15.

That place is crawling with undead monsters, it’s plain annoying to raid!

Those bastards will still attack even if their limbs are torn off, so those with close combat jobs are especially vulnerable there.

Also, zombies will spring out from under your feet out of nowhere, making those with ranged combat jobs not exactly safe, either.

During the beta test, most players attempted to challenge it only when they were close to level 30 and had high damage.

If you’re at level 15, I recommend you to go to the Goblin Fort in the north or the Undersea Temple in the south.

Sure, they’re quite far from beginners’ grassland, so it takes time to get to them, but it’s better than challenging the underground tomb. I swear only masochists would go there, lol

294. A Passing Adventurer

>>292

Usually, noobs would be like, “Oh, there’s a dungeon close by!” and excitedly head into it, only to come back out in a ragged state right after, lol

The devs likely created it as a trap. Those rotten bastards lol lol lol

Speaking of which, what’s up with ‘Cursed Ring’?

It’s a rare drop from zombies, but its effect is to set max HP to 1, that’s all…

315. A Passing Adventurer

>>310

It’s for skills that only activate when you only have 1 HP left.

For example, ‘Deathly Stupid Strength’. It triples your Strength when your HP is at 1.

Well, it’s dangerous to play on the verge of death all the time, so most players refrain from it lol. Only psychos would choose that play style lol lol lol

333. A Passing Adventurer

>>315

You just need to get ‘Guts’! After that, put all your stat points in Luck to increase its activation rate, and voila, you’ll be semi-invincible!

350. A Passing Adventurer

>>333

If I followed your instruction, I’d have 0 Strength, then. If that’s the case, there’s no point in ‘Deathly Stupid Strength’, you idiot lol.

Well, the devs likely only created it as a joke. There’s no way anyone would be insane enough to seriously use it lol lol lol
