NOVEL WEB B4 | Chapter 45
Alexia
After my meeting with the Archon's Successor, I spend probably around twenty-five percent of my time training my energy manipulation and the rest of my time fighting against corrupted creatures. Just day by day, month by month. All the way until something interesting finally happens after several months pass.
On the day that marks two years since the Reset.
Or at least, something interesting is announced in a Universal Notification.
|
Two years have now passed since the System's Reset. New nations have been made. New Legendary Feats discovered. And new alliances forged. But now things will change. Continue your journey on empire In one year's time, marking the end of the third year since the System's Reset, the Dimensional Dungeon Championships will be held. Within these championships, every last Dimensional Champion will be placed within a Tier 5 dungeon.
Each of the Dimensional Champions will be given two lives while within the dungeon. And they may only leave the dungeon after they have already lost one of their lives. However, if a Dimensional Champion loses both of their lives within the dungeon, then they will die permanently and will not be brought back to life.
Additionally, this Tier 5 dungeon will not be a normal Tier 5 dungeon. All Dimensional Champions will be livestreamed to every user within the System throughout the entire dungeon crawl. Furthermore, the users of the Dimensional Blocks may sponsor their Dimensional Champions through the payment of System Items that can be converted to energy for the Champions to use when they find a System Totem within the dungeon.
Lastly, all Dimensional Champions who permanently kill another Dimensional Champion will be granted Dimensional Champion status within their Dimensional Block, along with every item the Dimensional Champion owns.
Dimensional Champions, if you wish to survive this dungeon, reach Tier 5 within the next year. Otherwise you will find yourselves in dire straits. |
I stare at the notification for several seconds as I float high in the sky over the corrupted creatures. But nothing changes about it all the way until it vanishes from my sight.
This… is unexpected.
Very unexpected.
I let out a sigh.
Well, at least I found my Tier 5 dungeon. Even if it's going to be filled with several hundred other Dimensional Champions at the same time. And I'll be broadcast across the entire Dimensional Grid fighting in it.
The idea of some random strangers watching my every move as I fight for my life inside of a dungeon is kind of disturbing. Especially when I know most of their gazes will be on me.
The anomaly of the Dimensional Grid.
The number one ranked user on the leaderboards, the only quantum being within the System, and the Quantum Reaper herself.
I sigh again before resuming my hunt. Just slaughtering the corrupted creatures to vent out my irritation with this new announcement.
At this point I know a lot of other Dimensional Champions have already reached Tier 5 other than myself. With Lucas being one of them.
And with this dungeon being in a year from now, I'm guessing most of the Dimensional Champions will probably be Tier 5 by then.
As for the ones who don't make it? Well, they'll just have to die once in the dungeon before leaving.
Unfortunately for me, not a single Tier 5 dungeon has appeared in the last several months that I've been here. Not even a single Tier 4 dungeon has appeared.
Or at least, I haven't gotten word of a Tier 4 dungeon appearing.
Tier 5 dungeons are rather grand in appearance even outside of the dungeon and are very hard to hide. To the point that they're generally giant floating islands or castles or whatever. And from what I've heard, no one has ever successfully hidden a Tier 5 dungeon.
Then again, if someone had successfully hidden one, then I wouldn't know about it in the first place.
So…
Tier 4 dungeons are just like the usual dungeon though. With just a single small entrance for people to go through. Unlike the Tier 5 dungeons' massive structures with grand-looking entrances.
Multiple entrances at that.
Even if they're all for the same dungeon.
Just that these entrances lead to different parts of the dungeon.
Tier 5 dungeons are far larger than all the dungeon Tiers below them. And it makes perfect sense for it to be that way, considering the level range of Tier 5 dungeons.
Tier 1 dungeons are from level 1 to level 100. So one hundred levels of monsters are in them.
Then there's Tier 2 dungeons that are from level 101 to level 250, making them include a hundred and fifty levels of monsters.
And following them are the two hundred and fifty levels of monsters in Tier 3 dungeons and the five hundred in Tier 4 dungeons.
But Tier 5 dungeons?
Tier 5 spans from level 1001 to level 2500.
So Tier 5 dungeons have one thousand five hundred levels worth of monsters in them.
They're several times larger than Tier 4 dungeons just in size alone. Even larger than the three times more levels would imply.
All of this pretty much means it's going to be a fucking maze inside of that Tier 5 dungeon. One filled with the strongest people from each of the Dimensional Blocks.
And I won't have the same advantage I had during the Dimensional Championships for Dimensional Block #108. Since these Dimensional Champions will all be Tier 5, the same as me.
But for some reason I feel… kind of happy about that?
I hope I'm not getting a thirst for battle or something…
It's probably just because I'm bored of slaughtering corrupted creatures. Which is pretty much the only thing I've been doing for several months now. Other than training my energy manipulation.
On that note, I glance at my status to find my level being at about a thousand forty-one.
An abysmal level considering that I've been fighting so much for several months straight.
But an expected one, even with my boosted EXP from killing corrupted creatures.
I sigh again as I continue slaughtering the creatures beneath me.
Well, whatever.
This dungeon isn't for another year, so I have plenty of time until then.
