[VRMMO] Dead One

["So, the situation is that shitty, eh?"] – asked GreyHunt while using [Chat] function to communicate with the ClownFrog, who just left the dungeon.

"Yea…. The dungeon difficulty is way higher than we had expected." – said ClownFrog.

"It will take us days to conquer that place, even if we were to focus on reaching the goal as soon as possible."

"We tried using Rampage's gamble plan….. But unfortunately, it didn't worked."

"I didn't obtained enough informations to try out my own gamble."

["So what now?"] – asked GreyHunt.

["The deal was with the dragon king that if you need first see the Lich Lord tomb value, but right now this deal seem null?"]

"Well, in a sense, yes." – said ClownFrog.

"By the looks of things the leak was from the dragon king's side AND our enemy is the other dragon king from his empire."

"Which does complicates the stuff for them."

"Honestly, we could just say that we 'nullify' the deal and they really have no choice but to accept it."

"But here is two problems."

"Whatever is inside of that place could had really and I mean REALLY give me a huge power up."

"And secondly, we found one of our enemies is the dragon king."

"So, are we really willing to throw in the towel on this one?"

"Honestly, now this alliance would definitely make things far more problematic to them AND we could far easier get rid off them…. It would also somewhat deal politically with the dragon empire."

["Hm…. True…. The next thing we need is to have dragon empire declare war on us as soon the war ban is lifted…. And if they were to start the war, some other kingdoms or even empires may join in…. For crying out loud, this continent is really cursed, isn't it?"] – replied annoyed GreyHunt.

"Well, yea, there is really no denying it at all that our continent is filled to the brim with problems and chaos….. But anyway, what do you think?" – asked ClownFrog.

["About sending reinforcements and taking over part of Dead Land….. Honestly, I'm not recommending it."]

["There is also obvious matter regarding the Harem Fucker."]

["How do we know he won't conquer the dungeon?"]

"We don't, that is the obvious problem."

"We also don't know how long he was in dungeon for."

"He could had been there for few more days than us."

"So, we can just wait outside the dungeon and hope he hasn't beaten it yet."

"But odds are….. Unknown to say the least."

"So yea… Situation is bit fucked to say the least and it is hard for me to come up with a proper course of actions on my own."

"Is the situation within empire even okay in the first place in order for us to smuggle out some elite soldiers or players to do the job?"

"Hm…."

["If I'm honest? Out of 6 eyes you can probably only take Blueberry."]

{{Info: 6 eyes: 6 core members of the Purple Hyena Guild.}}

["Lil and Ampi are still busy with their own quest to the point they have [Don't interrupt] function on."]

["I could send some of these new guys, [Undefeated] that got absorbed by Purple Hyena."]

["That guy Jet has been making a lot of achievements and he is close to earning himself a noble title."]

["They are currently working as something like police, but if we offer them a huge reward for him and his guild, we could recruit them all to do the job."]

["Their entire guild also received a heavy buffs and rewards from us, including Jet having undergone his second evolution."]

["So that would be 23 people, with Blueberry 1…. Maybe I could also throw in some of the Litle Bastards….. As for the soldiers…. Hm…. Maybe demons would be the best choice."]

["We can use some of the wyverns we had tamed for the transport as well as some demonic beasts."]

["But there is also matter of "keeping secret" and "going full speed"."]

["No matter the option, it would still take days to reach you."]

["And transporting large number of troops, even if we focus on quality above quantity would still also eat up a lot of time."]

["We can do this, but you would need to try and hold off the enemies for few days all on your own."]

["And will it even work? If Alamin succeed in defeating the dungeon, then this- "]

"I fucking know." – replied pissed off ClownFrog.

"But send them anyway."

"Gather up all people that are willing to take part in operation and keep it secret."

"Say that they will be offered big time rewards for supporting in this missions and for them to keep quiet."

"Also, order them in my name to travel "quietly"."

"I do want them here as soon as possible, but I also don't want some other random bullshit popping up out of fucking nowhere."

"So yea, do it."

"…"

["Welp, if you say so."]

["Just don't come crying to me if this fails."] – said GreyHunt before then ending the call.

"…"

*Sigh*

(This will be a giant headache, no matter if this succeed or not.) – thought ClownFrog.

(Now that we are aware of the fact that our enemy is a dragon king, it would definitely make relationship with the dragon empire complicated.)

(But if I'm honest? I'm willing to burn down that entire empire and conquer it.)

(I'm willing to just stop it to the ground and kill every single one of those dragon kings.)

(But the problem is the shitty state of our empire.)

(If it wasn't for it, I would already focus on powering up the entire army and then starting to declare wars overseas.)

(And there is also the problem with this shitty continent of ours beings straight up cursed at this point.)

(I mean seriously.)

(Wars are popping up as soon as possible without having us a moment of rest.)

(I would not be surprised if we had another war popping up as soon the title effect dies down…. This is just great.)

"…"

(Honestly, I've thought that the alliance with the dragon empire may be more bothersome than it would be worth…. But now it would be a good idea to really have it.)

(With it, we could keep in check or possible completely remove the hostile dragon king out of the picture…..)

(But there is also the problem with Silver Tiger guild.)

(If they managed to conquer the dungeon…. Then we are really fucked.)

[Sometime later: Real world.]

"Okay, so I may or may not had died before finishing the dungeon." – said the blond haired man as he sit in front of computer.

[Arthur Smith – Also known as Alamin]

"What?! The fuck do you mean you had died!? Did Purple Hyena got you?!" – shouted the female knight player Baron through the communication app on the computer.

"Nah. They didn't found me." – replied Arthur.

"If anything, they didn't got near me."

"I kind of got wrecked by undeads."

"If I'm honestly, sneaking by wasn't option at all, I still ended up fighting way too often."

"Especially near the dungeon end."

"!?"

"Wait, you have found it!?" – asked female priest player Ami.

"Yea." – replied Arthur.

"Or more exactly the area where it was located."

"By the looks of things we were wrong about our first assessment of this dungeon being shaped like ring."

"It is instead stretching in a single direction."

"And I've found a structure that wasn't like any other we seen before, alongside a horde of most powerful monsters AND duo of boss type monsters guarding the entrance."

"I may had died, but I've found it."

"The entrance to the end."

"But what if Purple Hyena found it too?" – asked dark elf player named Amilia.

"There is no way they did." – replied Alamin.

"If they had, I would had noticed something from afar."

"But what ever they were doing was not happening nowhere near me."

"It will take them days just like it did for us to find the entrance to the end."

"However, we shouldn't let our guard down just yet."

"Right now we maybe having the same start line now, depending on how much they had learned from the dungeon."

"Doubt it." – replied Amilia.

"Considering how slow they were moving around, I think they also had hard time maneuvering throughout the dungeon."

"They couldn't also get to us once they had spotted us, forcing them to sent Shri to hunt us down with her teleporting demonic beast."

"It will take them days, just like it did for us."

"Hm….. Yea…. You are right." – said Alamin.

"There is no way they can discover the end and reach it before us…."

"But again, we cannot let their guard down."

"I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did something like lock down of the dungeon in order to prevent us from entering or maybe hire some assassin to go after us."

"We don't know what they are willing to do in order to obtain the Lich Lord tomb's treasure."

"So with that being said, we cannot let our guard and we need to finish that dungeon as soon as possible in our next attempt, kepis?"

"We need to reach the end of the dungeon before them."
