Arthur laughed when he saw the first hallway he encountered when entering the final exam dungeon.

What on earth was I doing in that dungeon?

How long had your mind been blank before you noticed anything among all those clues?

Arthur wiped his face, not even paying attention to the gaze of those around him, and covered his vision with his palm, recalling one by one the various clues that Lucy had pointed out just moments ago.

Fine ceiling.

A window with no view to the outside.

A blurry portrait and a ridiculous year written underneath it.

A broken clock.

In addition to this, the countless clues that Lucy pointed to were clearly clearly written in the dungeon studies textbook.

At the end of the content explaining the gimmick. Under the phrase exceptions. When entering a dungeon of high difficulty. There were a few things written along with an explanation of how to tell whether this place is real or not.

Arthur, who had memorized the entire contents of the Dungeon Studies textbook, remembered that phrase and grabbed his bangs as if tearing them out.

You were being played by the dungeon boss.

That guy mistook the hallucination he created using an existing room for a new dungeon.

Actually, that’s not the case. It’s just a road we’ve already passed.

If you think about it, that’s right.

Wasn’t everything we encountered when we conquered the dungeon from floor 0 just a repetition of the trials we had overcome in the past?

At that time, we thought that the past strategy was helpful, but it wasn’t!

Since you’re conquering something you’ve already conquered once again, you can’t help but feel that it’s similar!

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about how stupid he had been. Suddenly, he remembered what he had said to Lucy yesterday.

Even though it was a difficult dungeon, he confidently said that he conquered it.

Ahhh!

Lucy Alln What did that guy think when he saw himself bragging?

How pitiful he must have felt for the idiot who stretched out without even realizing what he had planned.

For some reason, the gaze that came to meet us after completing the strategy was subtle!

It wasn’t that he was sad about losing the bet, he just felt sorry for us!

Arthur’s face turned red as he lowered his hands in lamentation.

I’m afraid of what Lucy Aln will say when I see her again.

I am so scared that I have to keep my mouth shut even though I know that I have already done so many things.

At a time when Arthur was wondering whether he should consider trading this job for the reward of the bet, Lucy Aln steps on the stairs leading down to the basement.

‘I’m tired of explaining to you how stupid and idiotic you guys are now, right? ♡ So, take your time and enjoy it, and feel how much of a waste you guys were ♡ You bastards ♡’

The moment Lucy Alln closed her mouth after saying these words, she went down the stairs.

The first scene I encountered was the training ground.

Numerous soldiers were brandishing their weapons standing in front of those who wanted to take the test.

Lucy Alln leisurely watched the scene, glanced at the boy lying on the stone floor and the girl who was nagging him, and then left the training ground.

Next was a cave. At the end of the space dominated by the giant wolf, a party stood.

In the center stood a man who resembled the exhausted boy just moments ago.

He looked at the normal-sized wolf with fearful eyes, then looked up and smiled awkwardly at the people around him.

Lucy just glanced at the scene like before and then headed straight to the next step.

What unfolded next was a plain.

In a place that was full of golems in the shape of devils, there were not just golems but the corpses of real devils.

The corpses of several people believed to have been attacked by those demons.

And in the middle, there was a man who survived alone.

The man covered in blood could only stare into space with blank eyes. No action was taken other than that.

Lucy, who was looking at him with emotionless eyes, slowly moved her feet and headed towards the fourth room.

The place we arrived at was the hallway.

It is not the first hallway, but a hallway that has turned into a ruin that can be seen after going beyond the 4th floor.

Lucy deliberately made her way to the end, filling the hallway with the sound of her footsteps.

‘Are you here?’

The majestic old man who guarded the last part of the dungeon did not exist.

The abandoned person leaning against the closed door and making a weak voice was not the monster that had driven Arthur and his group to death countless times. He was just an ordinary man who had lost the strength to live due to the passage of time.

The creators outside the stage were such humble beings.

‘It was a stage I had prepared very hard for, but you all ignored him. ‘It’s really sad.’

The dead man pushed himself out of the door and pulled out a sword from his waist.

‘Still, the customer came to the end. It would be right to respond as the owner of the stage.’

Instead of the terrible red aura that Arthur and his group had encountered, only a dull gray aura permeated there.

‘Please come.’

It was not until then that Lucy took out her weapon for the first time.

In her right hand, she holds a white mace that is like her symbol. In his left hand, he holds a pure white shield that seems to contain the light of the sun.

The sight of her closing her mouth and filling the room with her divinity was so sacred that even those who knew her true nature let out exclamations of exclamation.

The moment the match between Lucy Alln and the dead man began, everyone in the test room had no choice but to be confident that Lucy Alln would win.

There are two main areas I put effort into when designing the Academy’s dungeon.

One is that all students at the academy must be able to conquer the dungeon.

I heard that a student’s individual ability is also a factor in conquering a dungeon, so there is no problem if a dungeon is created that a low-ranking student cannot conquer.

In fact, most of the academy dungeons in the game cannot be conquered unless you reach a certain level. Now that it has become a reality, it won’t be much different.

Even though I knew this, I worried about making sure everyone could conquer the dungeon.

To ensure that the dungeon I created is helpful to the students of the academy.

When this world was beyond the monitor, students at the academy were usually just extras. Except for a few characters with illustrations, they were not worth remembering.

But not now.

Those who attend the academy are all living their own lives.

These are the people who live and breathe next to me and write their own stories.

Before whether the country shows favor to people or not.

I hoped that at least one of them could learn from the dungeon I created and survive in the dungeon outside.

I wanted to be able to create the dungeon as my own sacrifice rather than the dungeon’s sacrifice.

So I did my best to ensure that every student at the academy could conquer the dungeon.

Of course, this was not the only reason I was stubborn.

There was definitely personal greed there too.

The first dungeon I created. As the stagnant water at Soul Academy turned into rotten water, many ideas were engraved in my head. The culmination of my efforts.

It’s true that I wanted everyone to enjoy it.

I wanted everyone to be amazed at the end of the dungeon by making it possible for anyone to work hard to see the end.

I thought I was going to break my head while designing a real dungeon because I gave up on compromise for this reason.

That night alone, I looked through the textbook that I had never opened even once since entering the academy.

If you are a student who has properly studied dungeon studies, you can look around the dungeon and notice anything strange.

And I had to do my best to attack the gimmick and make people realize that their knowledge could be used for this purpose.

But despite this, my efforts did not yield proper results.

Because the academy students’ attack skills were lower than I expected.

no. It’s true that I tried to make it difficult to recognize the gimmick.

Isn’t it crazy that the only two parties in the entire Academy Dungeon were the ones who noticed the dungeon’s gimmick?!

To be exact, not even two parties!

It’s just the two of you!

Toby and Jeff.

Aside from these two, no one has seriously considered the dungeon gimmick! Does this make sense!?

I didn’t think many people would notice the gimmick, but this is too much!

If I had known this would be the case, I would have made an easier dungeon.

If I had known you guys were mites, I would have finished designing the dungeon in an hour and gone to bed!

‘Isn’t it strange that you don’t get any heat?! I really worked hard to create the dungeon!’

How much effort did I put in for the academy students?

Even if you don’t know that, you have to listen to nonsense about whether it was really made to be broken!

Not having a fever is abnormal!

‘What!’

‘…That’s it. but.’

Dungeons where you have to doubt everything about the dungeon rather than simply conquering it are not very common.

To be precise, I should say that it cannot be common.

Most dungeons that exist on the earth originate from the power of the evil god Agra.

To put it another way, every time a dungeon is created, the power of Agra is consumed.

There can never be many high-level dungeons.

In order to create a dungeon of high difficulty, Agra needs to use as many powers.

‘If you don’t know that a dungeon like this exists, in the worst case scenario, you have no choice but to die.’

This is not a game.

Saying that you failed this time so you should try again next time doesn’t work.

The saying that you have to search if you don’t know is not a joke; it means that this is a world where something becomes someone’s will.

Even other students would be aware of this danger, so does it make sense that no one was prepared for the high-level dungeon?

They also say that conquering dungeons is the duty of nobles!

‘Even if you change your attitude now, it will only show that you are afraid of retaliation.’

After hearing my grandfather’s joke, I burst into laughter and looked around the room where all the battles had ended.

Then, instead of stepping on the door leading out of the dungeon, he placed his hand on the crystal ball installed next to it.

‘It’s an anger outburst.’

What I’ve shown you so far is how to properly conquer a dungeon.

There was a faster way, an easier way, and many tricks created during the dungeon creation process, but I ignored it and chose only the basics.

As usual, I held back on what I wanted to attack and made a video for the mites. Shouldn’t I enjoy it now?!

‘Is it my business? The idiots in the Academy need to know how crappy they are.’

The lecture given by a stagnant person to a young person is a waste of time.

The new course being offered from now on is the Rotten Water Speedrun course.

I’ll show you all how to do it.

If you can, follow along.

You bastard trash.
