Chereads / Dungeon Keeper, chests are not for you! / Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: A Hole in the Ground

Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: A Hole in the Ground

Uhh, the wind is blowing, the sun is shining in my eyes, the grass is by my side, nothing hurts, high.

So I turned my head, just for a warm-up, without getting up from my seat. He looked to the right, looked to the left, looked at himself. I'm wearing a strange blue-and-white suit in the manner of a kimono, it has all sorts of patterns on it, unknown animals... Who needed to change my clothes at night?.. And the devil knows... So, stand, but wait a minute...

I jumped up and patted my pockets, of course there are none, and there is nothing in principle, just a strange fabric.

- Spruce bitches, shameful wolves, sneakers, scum, return! Eight thousand, the infection, did not fall to me in a day!

But the world doesn't care.

This, in general, is not my world at all, well, judging by the bluish trees, strange fantasy squirrels with peacock tails and a natural game cave right next to me...

Well, I, like, issekaynul. It's a pity, of course, that it didn't work out with Sveta a little, but I can feel from behind that in this world I will have such people through the roof. Uh-hoo-hoo, I want a snake girl, I really want a snake girl! As a child, I had an iguana, a nasty creature, but cool, exotic, so to speak, and the only one I wasn't allergic to. There was also a dog, but a runny nose always traveled with her, so the dog was not with me, but with my grandfather. Although... If this is a new world, and I have a new body, maybe I don't have allergies either?

Stop if it's a new body...

- Lavrenty! - I looked sharply into my pants.

Well, Comrade Lavrenty was exactly the same as always, even the mole was in place... Well, my body, now I'm one hundred and fifty sure of it!

Maybe they just fixed my sores?..

I fumbled with my tongue in my mouth.

No, they didn't fix it, the three teeth that were knocked out in early childhood are still mute, but the ones that were knocked out yesterday are in place. The electoral, damn, system...

- You either treat everything, or let me die!

What a mess, huh?! The chances that I will be able to take a cat girl or a dog girl to my harem are falling and falling. There is, of course, only one way to check, but... I don't have either one yet. Okay, so you can stand and dream about everything indefinitely, you need to get busy.

And what business?.. Well, danjik needs to be cleaned up, probably the first resources, levels, maybe weapons. Yes, there will be a hundred pounds of garbage, but damn, in no other game it turned out all at once, and I don't see the buttons to "push", and I have nothing, to be honest...

Speaking of buttons...

For a minute I turned my eyes in all directions, trying to find a menu, an icon, well, or at least something and ... a drum roll... I found it! The menu here opens only if you close your eyes! It's a little strange, the question of sleep arises... And nnet, does not get up, there is a separate button "Rest"!

And what if you press it?..

[How long will you rest?

00-00]

Wow, you can even set it up, let's put it on for a minute...

...

I woke up on the grass, my face was slightly sore, I fell on my arm, not broken, but there will be a bruise. Ek-makarek, a dangerous thing! I wish I could persuade someone to lie down for about two hours... Mmm, plus one in the piggy bank "Make to death". But though... It's time to rename it, now it's "Done after death". What else is there?..

The skill tree?! Awesome! Well, let's see what kind of spell I will bend the local mobs through a hundred levels... Okay, stand... The first line...

[Dungeon Keeper, Level 1]

Stop, stop, stop... Danji needs to be passed, right? Well, that is, to ruin them, to take away treasures, to break traps... Actually, I also want to have fun doing vandalism! No, no, no, that won't do, I don't want to keep anything. But it also means that all sorts of adventurers will start hunting me. Holy shit...

So, just don't tell me that the danjik...

Well, you just have to check, right? Well, it just might turn out that my real dungeon is deep underground, great and terrible, impassable, and this misunderstanding belongs to someone else.

- Yes, this hole in the rock can't possibly be mine, of course not...

Here I am getting closer and closer... Bingo!

[Hole in the ground, level 1 (Customize)]

Of course, only its keeper can set up a dungeon... Well, I am the proud owner of a kennel the size of a tiny room in some fantasy forest! Awesome, great, super! And what kind of name is that anyway?! Not that it doesn't reflect the essence, but damn... I don't want to be the keeper of the "Hole in the Ground"! Why is it not "The First Stage of the Great Royal Catacombs" or "The Impassable Condor Dungeon"?..

Haa... Spit.

Can I just give up on this piece of rock and leave? No, the logic of fantasy books tells me that the horseradish swam there, but Nadia dies last, right?

- Hasta la vista, a piece of stone!

I went, it appears, wherever my eyes look. This world, if you look at it like that, take a walk, look around, is quite a picturesque place. Beautiful birds, squirrels with peacock tails, saber-toothed boars... Oh, I even saw a fairy! A real fairy, a tiny little girl with wings and a small halo of red light! I wonder if they are reasonable here? I want to see...

Well... for about ten minutes of observations, I still didn't understand, actually. She flew from flower to flower, circled something there, collected like, and that's it. Hmm, maybe we can talk?

- Hey, baby!

Ah, she got scared and flew away... The plan to "Cheerfully call" failed miserably. Well, there were "Sneak up and grab" and "Lure with something", but it's too dreary... Okay, I'll catch some more fairies for myself, then when I become a great hero, but for now, let's go!

Oh! Here's the first opponent!

[Black Rat City, level 8]

A kind of animal a little bigger than a lap dog, a spaniel, with creepy red eyes and an ugly muzzle. Oh, yes, also with foam from the mouth. In short, an unknown animal from the local shikos-nakos fauna. I don't even want to think how it could have appeared in nature naturally. And I really like the names here, "krysolis" looks like a mixture of a rat and a fox, "hole in the ground" is really a hole in the ground, simple and elegant, classic.

So, this something noticed me and, it seems, chose me as the next lunch. Well, I really shouldn't die this time, right? It would be funny if the main character dies before the first five girls, right?! Although the level of the unknown animal inspired a little fear, but hey, this is an initial monster, it shouldn't be strong... Maybe...

I picked up a decent little stick from the ground, right in my hands it adjusted to me and a stereotypical classic baton came out, such as they draw in cartoons, heavy, by the way, and then I got into a comfortable pose. Krysolis did not think about the strategy and applied a simple and effective "Cling to what happens." Well, I respect him, although it would be more convenient if he stood on his paws and tried to beat me with his fists, but we have what we have.

He clung to my leg, which was also very unexpected, and then got a stick, it's a pity that it wasn't a stone, on the head. The "bonk" was quite ringing, but now, really unexpectedly, this creature not only survived, but also received almost no damage! Yes, he drew a stripe with hp, from where, attention, less than one fifth came off!

Dent, and I have five percent of my health leaking away every second!

In general, I swung and hit again, and then again and again... In a dozen strokes I managed, in general. I was out of breath as after a decent workout. The pied piper decomposed into a "Pied Piper's Fang" and a "Pied piper's Skin", although I guarantee that I would also tear off meat and two dozen claws from him! And I also have a notification hanging... Well, maybe a new level, we have a decent difference in numbers.

[Received the title of "Ratslayer"!]

Mm... Perfectly! I'm already proud of myself!

[Experience from the outside world cannot be assimilated]

Mmda... But this is not a reason to be proud... Well, an anchor in my throat, a screwdriver in my eye! Of course, the keeper of the dungeon can't swing like a human, how did I, dent, not understand before?!

- I threw the stick under my feet with force.

Okay, inhale-exhale, everything is fine, even fine! Who said that the guardian of the dungeon should be a villain? You, Eugene, will just be a slightly special hero, that's all. Tell everyone just not to touch one unfortunate cave, you'll pump a little, and everything will be fine.

Speaking of heroes... Here is a knight shining with armor ahead. It is probably necessary to approach, outline the situation, say that this is how it is, the system has slightly messed up. Oh, he noticed me... So, while he just rubs his eyes, here he rubbed it once, here he rubbed it twice... Did you see a ghost?

Oh, hey, here he went to me, well, I also moved forward to meet my new friend.

[Received the title "Curious"!]

Either the local system loves me very much, or the titles here are worthless! Ah well, not up to them yet.

- Hey! - I shouted from afar - I'm here, the guardian of the dungeon accidentally became! Can you help me, buddy, with this opportunity?

The knight hung for a second, but then shouted:

- Ah... yes, of course I will help, come closer!

Oh, I don't like it... Okay, at any second I will be able to wind up, the fast legs are not afraid of the cradle, I really, at least, want to hope for it.

In general, there are several steps between us. The soldier took out his blade, well, casually.

"What's that for?" I ask, still squinting at his drin.

- Just like that, suddenly someone will attack - the knight shrugs and comes closer.

Naturally, I'm leaving, his Moscow Art Theater didn't really impress me, this guy clearly wants to kill me.

- So, let's stop making a comedy, why would you kill me?

- There's no need, no one wants to kill anyone.

- Put the sword away.

- Yes, it's dangerous here, the forest, the animals are dangerous.

"Then take a dozen steps back.

- And what about you without me? And suddenly a crooked-horned bear will appear, and I'm far away, dangerous, boy, very dangerous.

- I'll manage, don't worry... You know, I somehow didn't want to become normal, and I look like a guardian.

- Come on, man... No one likes keepers, they are evil, this is a label for life. And they give artifacts for them, obviously someone will want to sew you.

"Oh, that's how it is... And you, the type, do not want to?

The knight, realizing, apparently, what he had just said, stopped short a little.

- Of course not, I have already helped hundreds of such keepers, you just come closer, I also have a special artifact...

- Yeah, of course, the one that glitters in your hands? No, thanks, I can handle it myself.

And I took off... So, the plan to "Join society" failed. It's a lousy day today, all plans are falling apart, I got up on the wrong foot, it seems. Well, if you think about it, it makes sense. I would also really want a free sword for a hundred to five hundred damage, if he wandered through the forest and clicked "Kill me, take me away!", and in the group he would have sewn it, well. after all, a super sword for a hundred to five hundred damage.

Mmda... I'm not just a guardian of the dungeon, I'm a walking jackpot that almost fell into the clutches of a moron that chases me.

- Isn't it hot to run around in armor?

- It's hot! Slow down, let's cool down, let's talk!

- Yes, I'm for sports, for running!

- And I... ha-ear-ear... For peace and for love! Stop, you brute!

- The brute himself!

Well, let's run... At some point, a die hung in front of my eyes

[The Dungeon Keeper is too far from the Dungeon. Return in 30.00 seconds.]

Super! Blue energy began to accumulate around me, it turned out spectacularly, as if I was conjuring some spell.

- Wait! Come on without it, it's not fair!

- To attack a guy without a weapon with a sword - that's not fair! - don't slow down, all the conversations are on the run.

In general, we ran decently, once I even managed to make a feint - to wrap my brilliant friend around a tree, not very useful, but effective.

And now there are five seconds left...

- Oh, you piece of sh...

And I effectively dissipated into dust. It turned out beautifully, I liked it...

[Received the title "Fast feet are not afraid of cradles"!]

Great, this is just about me... Well, now I'm in my favorite pile of dirt and stones, what can I say, home, sweet home...
