Gamers of the Underworld

In the Winterfell Dungeon Core Main Hall.

Gray Mana seeped out from the Dungeon Core Main Hall, and a few of the guards who were standing guard were depressed.

A Gnome who dragged two buckets of unknown contents came over. His eyes were radiant.

“Mealtime! Mealtime!” the Gnome shouted as he dragged the buckets in front of the guards.

“Gosh, why did you come so late? We’re famished!”

“The next shift is late. Why isn’t the next shift here yet?”

The guards complained as they gathered and started eating.

As the gray Mana grew, nobody took notice.

“What’s happening?” An Orc looked in a daze at the Dungeon Core Main Hall and asked, “Is someone setting a fire inside?”

“I don’t know.”

The other guards were curious. They walked to the Dungeon Core Main Hall and opened the main door.

A Teleport Portal was slowly manifesting in front of the Dungeon Core. A large Rune Mana Formation appeared at the bottom of the Teleport Portal.

“Quick, inform the Dungeon Lord!” a guard shouted.

The gray Mana had already engulfed everyone…

…

Three Hamster ran on the streets. Fat Otaku was leading in front, sniffling.

“Just straight ahead. The odor is very close!”

Big Boss and Second followed Otaku closely behind. The three Hamsters ran to the entrance of a cafe.

“Ah…”

Fat Otaku looked like he recognized something.

“Are you hungry?” Big Boss walked to Fat Otaku’s side and asked in his Helium voice.

“I’m indeed a bit hungry… no, that’s Lord Sherlock’s odor. He walked past here not long ago!” Fat Otaku said confidently.

Second Boss went over and leaned his nose towards the door as he sniffed deeply.

The door opened, and a box of food was thrown out. A Sludge Monster shouted, “Don’t stand at the entrance and obstruct my business! Go to the side and eat!”

The three Hamsters grabbed the food immediately and kowtowed to the Sludge Monster. Then they walked to the side.

“No! It’s not the time to eat. Let’s continue to look for Lord Sherlock!” Big Boss shouted abruptly. Fat Otaku finished half the box of food like a tornado. Then he sniffed with his full cheeks, pointed in a certain direction, and shouted, “That way!”

…

In the Winterfell Dungeon Lord Main Hall.

The large and luxurious Dungeon Lord Main Hall looked serene and harmless from the outside, but a gray Mana was filling up the hall insidiously.

The Mana brought along tempting murmurs, and it came from the Dungeon Core Main Hall. Half of the Dungeon Lords who were gathered in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall had collapsed.

Even Dungeon Lord Onionhead had collapsed.

Only the Orc who looked like Beast was standing in the shroud of gray Mana.

The Orc ensured that all the Dungeon Lords were in a deep sleep. A few Orcs and Werewolves with luminous red eyes were standing outside waiting for him.

“A few are missing.”

One of the Orcs said, “There are two missing guests according to the list. Alexandria and Sherlock.”

“It’s alright, these two superior Devils are insignificant in the presence of the Heavenly Father. Quickly transfer the Winterfell Dungeon Core. This will be the descending location for the Heavenly Father!” the Orc with Beast’s appearance shouted to them.

“Yes!”

…

In the dark tunnel, the smell of burnt torch lingered in the air.

This was an abandoned sewer of Winterfell. Sherlock walked stealthily in the sewer.

Only the sounds of a scurrying Hamster were heard running towards Sherlock.

Sherlock squatted down and gave a fruit to the small Hamster. Then he extended his finger and massage his small furry head. The Hamster made “zi, zi, zi” sounds before running off with the fruit.

Sherlock stood up and continued walking along the sewer.

“Can Lord Sherlock understand what the Hamster is saying?” Bru asked, puzzled.

“Due to some reasons, I learned a bit. A few months back, some creatures invaded their home and were busy excavating the surroundings,” Sherlock said as he walked.

Following the scent of the burned torch, Sherlock came to a dead end.

“A simple Mana mechanism. It seems like someone was excavating underground. Isn’t Winterfell aware of it?”

Bru said sarcastically, “A careless Dungeon Core with poor capability, unlike me. I obtained all information for Lord Sherlock!”

“If you’re taking credit for your achievements, put them aside for now.” Sherlock examined the dead end. Then he heard rapid movements behind him.

“We’re being followed.”

The shadows of three Hamsters darted in the dim sewer.

Fat Otaku was in the front while Big Boss and Second Boss followed closely behind.

“Why did Lord Sherlock come to such a place?” Big Boss asked curiously.

“I don’t know.” Second Boss shook his head.

Fat Otaku was sniffing with full focus, searching for the scent.

The three Hamsters walked along the sewer until they arrived at a dead end.

“The scent of Lord Sherlock disappeared!”

“But this is a dead end.”

“What shall we do? I’m famished! I can’t pick up his scent!”

The three Hamsters panicked. Then they heard movements behind the walls of the dead end.

The walls of the dead end started distorting like the tentacles of an organic creature. Then it separated, and a few Orcs and Werewolves came out.

They looked different from normal Orcs and Werewolves, more wretched-looking and with deep scarlet eyes.

“Zi—!”

The three Hamsters hugged together in fright. Their instincts were to turn and flee!

When they turned their heads, however, they saw another group of Orcs and Werewolves.
