After crushing Jumbo, Jim picked up the bags again and followed Ronny and others.The man with the scar had a different expression now. He was being more friendly as he talked with Ronny. “My name is Ace. My lord is Joker. The second floor has a total of 108 streets, which are ruled by 36 lords. My lord is one of them. You can say that the lords are the strongest people on this floor. If you can defeat a lord, you can get the territory he has.”“Oh, then why don’t the lords defeat other lords?” Ronny asked. “Why are there 36 of them?”Ace smiled. “Because defeating one lord and acquiring his street is one thing, but defeating two or more lords will get the attention of other lords. And they will do everything in their power to suppress you. So, in a way, the lords keep the balance going on this second floor.”“I see,” Ronny smiled as if he was confident in himself. “There’s no sun or moon here, right? What do you guys do for a living?”“We get food delivered to us by the robots after
Because it was a hotel, it didn’t take longer than ten minutes to get all the food arranged on the dining table.In that time, all the gold bars were converted into gold coins. Joker didn’t give them physical gold coins but digital gold coins as that was necessary to participate in the auctions or the pawn betting games.Still, it was only one bag that Ronny and Jim decided to convert into digital gold coins because they were both planning to take the remaining two bags of gold outside the dungeon.Currently, Jim had three bags with him. One was full of guns, and the other two were full of 24K gold bars with 99.9 percent purity. Many eyes were on Jim, and he could feel their gazes.Ronny was holding two mobiles, which had an application that allowed one to use the dungeon website. To Ronny and Jim’s surprise, their accounts were already made, so all they had to do was login using their retina scan. Both of them were able to check their balance, which was over 800 coins, which was equa
After talking with Joker and Ace, Jim told Ronny in front of everyone, “Boss, let me go and empty a lord’s seat for you. You can then come and sit on the throne.”Ace was very surprised to hear that. “Are you really going after Little_Nightmare?”“You said that she sells the fruits and vegetables at a high price, didn’t you?” Jim replied. “If I defeat her, then all those profits will be mine, right? I mean, they’ll be my boss’s, right?”“I already warned you about Nightmare_lily,” Ace said. “If you still want to attack her, then go on.”“I don’t know the route to her territory, so I need you to come with me,” Jim said.“What?” Ace’s heart skipped a beat. “No, I won’t.”“You will go,” Joker said, startling Ace.“But, Boss…” Ace tried to reason with him, but Joker’s expression didn’t change.Joker looked at Jim. “You can depend on my right hand man for support.”“Don’t think he’s weaker than me just because he calls me boss,” Ronny blurted. “He doesn’t need anybody’s help. He can defeat
A few minutes earlier.In the middle of the street, an adult man’s body was cut open against his will, and half of his liver was collected. “How could you do this to me?” he cried out. “I was only a minute late.”“Be grateful that I only cut half and not ninety percent of it, Daddy,” a guy wearing black uniform with plastic horns on his head was snickering at one of the civilians on the second floor living in Flower Street.The adult man with checkered pants cried miserably. “If you cut half of my liver, the nano-system is going to demand me to do a lot more crazy things. I can’t listen to that evil system anymore. You should rather kill me. I’d happily go to hell rather than suffer here.”“Haha, how can we lose free flesh supply?” The guy in the uniform laughed and walked away. “You are all going to work hard for our lord. That’s your only purpose of existence. If you really want to die, then die for our lord. Go to her, and she’ll grant you a nightmarish death.”The adult man trembl
“The prey has come to my doorstep all by itself,” Little Nightmare dashed straight ahead, leaving a gust of wind behind that set the flowers of the garden in motion. “I was thinking of making him my underling, but since he already laid his hands on my people, I’m not going to be satisfied until I at least cut one of his arms, or break half of his teeth.”It didn’t take longer than fifteen seconds for her to reach the location where Jim was fighting.In an alley between four houses, Jim was facing ten people all by himself. With his fists, he sent people flying without even touching them.“That’s the mysterious energy manipulation technique,” Little Nightmare squinted her eyes as she looked down at him from the rooftop. “Vivre user, huh. Now I can see how he was able to destroy the sealed metal door.” She grinned. “He really is worth fighting.”As Jim was throwing a punch at one of the opponents, a whip came flying out of nowhere and wrapped itself around his arm.“Mm?” Jim looked up w
The sky itself was painted red for a brief moment.The people that saw the flames trembled, for they realized that it was the power of Little Nightmare, the small woman that had been ruling over them with her fierce character and made them work to the bone.Little Nightmare made a lot of money by sending her region’s people into other regions for physical labor. And she also collected their blood once every week. So, she was literally robbing them off their strength while she herself was strengthening every day. But they couldn’t do anything because she was a fearsome character that could fight even the strongest lords on the second floor and not lose her ground. What could lowly people like them who somehow survived and came to this floor do against these villains?Most of the lords on the second floor were those who had taken the path of a villain. And so they did not mind making others suffer underneath their feet.Little Nightmare was one of the villains who did not mind literally
Every civilian that was witnessing the fight between Little Nightmare and Jim wished that he would defeat her, but when they saw Jim crash into the building, which then caught on hot flames, they all felt their breaths robbed out of them all over again. None of them could stand with their spines straight anymore, for fear and death continued to grip their hearts, minds, and very souls.None of them believed they had the strength to defeat the little monster that was worse than anything nightmares they ever had in their dreams, after all.As the people’s heads lowered and their hopes were dying in their infancy, a mighty wind blew and put all the flames on the building to rest.And this wind somehow breathed life and hope back into the hearts of the onlookers that wished Little Nightmare was dead.The people lifted their heads and saw a man climb up the rubble of the rocky house, completely covered in dirt, but his eyes were still very much set on the woman that was standing on the nei
The mighty clash of Little Nightmare and Jim’s attacks created shockwaves that kept destroying very sturdy stone buildings. The people had to run for their lives, as the ongoing battle was too dangerous for them to be anywhere close. Even those who were hundreds of meters away could feel a strong wind pushing their bodies back.What’s more, Little Nightmare’s attacks were growing stronger by the seconds. She unleashed one flaming attack after another, not caring if people got caught up in her attacks.Jim could have deflected her attacks and saved his stamina, but because that’d cause more casualties, he had to block the attacks and take most of the force onto himself. Even after dozens of attacks, Little Nightmare was grinning. “Your defense is pretty solid. I’ll give you that, but I’m sure your ‘vivre’ reserves are already running out. You are going to collapse any second right?” she vehemently whipped at him.“Why don’t you think about your own safety first?” Jim caught the flaming
