Gamers of the Underworld

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At a location near Eternal Kingdom Entrance No. 3.

A large Airship with the style of a ship was moored near Entrance No. 3.

Rows of Gnomes, Houndhead Men, and Goblins checked their equipment. Then they transported the equipment from the warehouses to the Airship’s storage cabins.

“Gather! Board the ship quickly!” NotWearingPants stood below the Airship and shouted to the gathering gamers.

Their constructed Airship was much larger than the previous one that appeared on the battlefield.

The lavish gamers used up all the Adamantine Ore in Eternal Kingdom’s warehouse to construct the Dragon Bone Structure of the Airship.

As an ore with excellent Mana conductivity, when it was used to construct an Airship, the space and capacity were much larger.

Winterfell wasn’t stingy. Winterfell’s Airship was small because it was able to satisfy the requirement of an airborne fortress. With tens of Magic Cannons, the Airship was able to have a suppressive effect on the battlefield.

The requirements of the gamers were different. The air transportation tool had to be as big as possible!

The gamers were gathering to board the Airship because they received full-service missions half an hour ago:

[Mission Title: Murmurs of Winterfell (Single Battle Campaign Scenario)

Mission Description: Lord Sherlock discovered an unspeakable secret. The Ancient Gods may have infiltrated Winterfell! Warriors, the Underworld requires your help!

Mission Objective: Activate the Airship and navigate to Winterfell under Bru’s guidance. Complete the series of missions:

1. Look for Brainiac and convey Lord Sherlock’s order to create a Rune Mana Formation on the Airship. It will be used for Revival.

2. Ensure the safety of Brainiac.

3. Ensure the safety of the Airship.

4. Transport the resources and equipment, as indicated by the system notices.

5. Proceed to Winterfell

Mission Reward: To be arranged by Winterfell after the mission, assuming Winterfell still exists after the mission is accomplished.

Mission Tips: Please reduce the number of deaths and bring more equipment. During the Battle Campaign Scenario, you are unable to return to Eternal Kingdom to revive. All gamers who board the Airship will be using it as the Revival Location until the end of the campaign! You may not be able to return to Eternal Kingdom for a few days.]

To the gamers, this was a Battle Campaign Scenario mission with many benefits. The gamers profited immensely from the two previous scenes, Area No. 10 and Underground Forest No. 3.

Now it was Winterfell’s turn!

Winterfell had been a strategic Dungeon that was mysterious and bustling with commerce. They didn’t expect Winterfell to be a scene for the Battle Campaign Scenario.

With the opportunity to visit Winterfell and obtain many rewards, the gamers had no reason to miss this Battle Campaign Scenario!

Most of the gamers boarded the newly completed Airship. It wasn’t even tested for reliability. The Airship flew rapidly towards Winterfell from the Entrance No. 3.

…

In the interior of the Airship.

The crowded gamers were packed like sardines in the Airship. Even after using Adamantine Ore to expand its capacity, it was still a huge strain to carry almost 2,000 gamers.

Brainiac stood without emotion in the crowd, indifferent to the pushing and squeezing.

Yoda was at the helm enjoying the new, unusual smooth feeling of control. Though the Gnomes, Goblins, and Houndhead Men were ignorant of the Airship related Mana and Mana Skills, they were extremely helpful in creating the Dragon Bone Structure, cabin arrangement, creation of a control helm, and the empennage!

“Yoda! How long are we going to fly?” Veteran Hemp Rope, who was draped with bladders, asked.

“Half a day. The speed of the Airship is fast!” Yoda shouted.

“Wah, you call this fast? I can travel half the globe within half a day.”

“Why didn’t you study the map? You’re making us stand for so long!”

“I hope that we don’t stay like this for half a day. I want to go up. I’m regretting this. I want to go to the deck!”

“D*mn, other online games drain money, but this game drains my time and health! Can I spend money to purchase time?”

“Can I open the cabin door?”

“Gosh, don’t open it. If you do, we’re all doomed!”

The large Airship flew towards Winterfell in the commotion made by the gamers…

…

In the Banquet Hall of Winterfell.

Different Dungeon Lords or representatives of the nearby Dungeons were socializing cordially when a Gnome with a fake Onionhead mask walked in.

That Gnome was Dungeon Lord Onionhead.

When the Dungeon Lords noticed Onionhead coming in, they stopped their chatting.

“Welcome, Dungeon Lords and representatives. Thank you for attending the Winterfell Victory Banquet. Without your assistance, Winterfell wouldn’t be able to defeat the Ancient Gods army so easily. Let us toast to the Merchant Alliance and the Underworld!”

Onionhead raised his wine glass happily and finished the red tea within.

The Dungeon Lords and representatives followed Onionhead and finished their red tea.

The Banquet Hall became rowdy again.

Nobody noticed a faintly discernible gray Mana engulfing the entire hall.

…

On the main street of Winterfell, the inhabitants of the Underworld were unsuspecting of the calamity that was about to befall them.

With various significances.

Three Hamsters hid in an alley. Big Boss sprawled on the wall and looked around for any Winterfell Garrison Guards.

“How long are we going to hide?” Second Boss asked sadly.

“Wait for our Lady. We cannot afford to be thrown into prison again!” Big Boss said quickly.

“Wait, I seem to smell… a strange odor!” Fat Otaku shouted as he cleared his nose.
