Chapter 12: Ch 10 – Should have paid attention

“Hello everyone! Did you miss me?” I raise my arms and shout inside the dungeon. But I don’t get any response whatsoever. Today is Thursday, so it’s been two days since I last played DMA. I was worried if the stitched were crying because they missed me, but it seems everything is alright.

“First of all, let’s check the dungeon’s current status.” I open the notifications and see that there have been two more invasions. “Oh! I managed to defeat one of the invaders! In total I received 140 cp and 11 xp!”

The player who died in the dungeon also left a public review: ‘This dungeon is crazy dangerous! Be ready to feel like you are useless if you dare invade it!’

“Hmm… What? Dangerous? Do you know you are the only one who has ever died in the dungeon so far? Not even other player’s mobs have died yet… In fact, the rest of the players stomped the dungeon and the stitched couldn’t even scare them. What the hell is that player talking about? Maybe he was incredibly unlucky and thinks that everything that happened was planned…? Nah, it’s impossible to be so unlucky.”

I consider the review as ‘a noob player’s crazy ramblings’ and forget about it. I got four extra corpses from that player’s invasion. It seems I can get corpses when I get invaded, and bodies too, if I manage to capture them. But since the Champions can’t be captured, only the support mobs can be captured, I’m going to forget about it for now.

With the four corpses from the failed invasion, the Corpse warehouse is almost filled, with 24/30. “Just in case, I’m going to build another Corpse warehouse. As the (made-up) saying goes: you never know when you are going to need a lot of corpses.”

So I spend 100 cp to build another Corpse warehouse. Now the capacity is at 24/60. I don’t think I’m going to fill the new one any time soon.

 

Today I’m going to try my luck with another dungeon invasion. But this time I have a plan. I’m going to invade a level 2 player’s dungeon, specifically one from the Stone Lords faction: the dwarves.

My objective is to obtain bodies from their race. Dwarves are very tough, they compete for the highest HP, CON and WIL stats from all humanoid races. But the thing that makes them stupidly sturdy is the innate passive they have: Stoneskin.
