Gamers of the Underworld

But the training didn’t teach him how to control his emotions. To others, King Potato II was hot-tempered.

He would be angry every day, and today’s incident made him extremely angry.

“D*mn, what’s going on?” King Potato II roared furiously while he smashed a vase on the floor. The broken fragments scattered all over the place.

In front of King Potato II was a crystal ball with a huge screen. The crystal ball was surrounded by cloaked Magicians who were using their Mana to sustain the images within the crystal ball.

Long ago, Humans weren’t in control of Mana. When Michelangelo invaded the Surface World with his Devil army, the Humans mastered the Dark Magic that was different from the Power of Sacred Light.

Whether this Dark Magic was evil or not wasn’t within the consideration of the masses. The power of Mana was convenient, but it was inferior to the Power of Sacred Light.

The crystal ball before King Potato II showed the exhausted expression of General Shidan, who reported his failure in attacking the Victorians and rescuing the Little Fairy Princess. Though he tried to show his grievances and reduced the casualty rate to the lowest, it was very bad news to King Potato II.

Fighting with Victoria City? Since when did King Potato II order the army to fight with Victoria City?

Though the Victorians fought with the Godly Kingdom and killed a Duke, they were fighting against the Underworld creatures!

“Your Highness, I fought with the Victorians for a reason. They betrayed us and were colluding with the Underworld creatures! I have a witness!”

General Shidan shouted in agitation. An Elf who had green symbols above his head was pulled over. The Elf looked excited but remained calm. He shouted to King Potato II in the crystal ball, “I can vouch that General Shidan was loyal to the Godly Kingdom and the Humans. The Victorians have been decadent. They yielded to the Eternal pigs! Especially Hoodlum and Dragonborn, they helped the Eternal pigs. I lost two pieces of equipment at the Dark Portal! It was infuriating!”

The Elf looked furious. However, King Potato II couldn’t understand how General Shidan could attack the Victorians based on the words of this Elf.

“That’s not all, Your Highness. The sins committed by the Victorians can’t be listed out even in three days and three nights. I know that our attack on Victoria City will antagonize the Church. But believe me, I’ll explain things to the Church personally and let them investigate the matter. Then you’ll understand me.”

General Shidan looked sincere and respectful, but King Potato II couldn’t pardon him based on his words.

“I’ll reward you once you bring back the remnants of the army.”

King Potato II emphasized the word “remnants”. Just as King Potato II was about to cut off the communication channel, General Shidan shouted fearfully, “Your Highness! Your Highness! I have another matter to report to you!”

“What is it? Are you saying that the Fairies are declaring war on us and intend to attack us? Just because of your foolish attack on their Princess?”

King Potato II scoffed, but General Shidan wasn’t bothered. He said, “Your Highness, I found the man who stole our young Wyvern!”

“What did you say?”

King Potato II turned his head and looked at General Shidan in the crystal ball. General Shidan said earnestly, “It was the Victorian called Dragonborn!”

...

On both sides of the tunnel were vines that provided subtle illumination. There were also lit kerosene torches from the gamers.

Though it was common to use Magic Lamps in the Underworld, the gamers were still using fire torches. Many employees asked this question, and Lord Sherlock replied, “Isn’t it better that we save on Mana? The pollution of Mana is getting serious. If we use less Mana, we use less electricity. It’s better for our health to return to our primitive way of life.”

That was a lame reason from Lord Sherlock.

Moroes wouldn’t mind whatever Lord Sherlock said. To him, Lord Sherlock was the strongest and most powerful superior Devil. Lord Sherlock was very harsh to his enemies, like the northern winter, while being half-chilled towards friends, like the late autumn.

Moroes had never encountered such a special and powerful superior Devil.

Sherlock had a mysterious and strong background. He could revive his citizens within the blink of an eye. Even if they had lost their corpses, Sherlock could create bodies for them. As the Novice Combat Trainer, it wasn’t the first time he witnessed the undead nature of the citizens.

Moroes came to Eternal Kingdom to prove to his wife that he could find a stable job and support the family after being dismissed. Moroes wanted to work loyally for Lord Sherlock. He even wanted to sign a Soul Contract with Lord Sherlock.

Then Moroes would have immortal life, just like the citizens of Eternal Kingdom!

He finally understood why the Dungeon was called Eternal Kingdom!

Moroes was letting his imagination run wild. The Beta Testing had taken place over many months. Though the gamers were still looking to Moroes for training, the numbers had diminished significantly.

It wasn’t because the gamers had mastered combat skills, it was because the gamers had developed a new training system called the Mentor-Student System.

The new system required less money and had better training because Moroes had to take care of too many gamers!

“Moroes! Come for a meeting!” Eggface shouted at a distance.
