A concept that frequently appears in games.
Inside a dungeon, there exist vast treasures and monsters.
The protagonist explores this place, beats up monsters, obtains rewards, and grows.
I am aware that these elements are so intuitive and fun that they have been loved by many for a long time.
It's like a hearty bowl of Sundae Gukbap (Korean blood sausage soup).
Among the games I play, there were a few of that genre.
For example, the darkest dungeon where I can self-torture while watching my party members suffer from madness on a daily basis, or if I get caught in a trap, the heroine's clothes get ripped off… Wait, maybe that's not it.
Besides this, there are many works with dungeons as the subject, and because of that, the majority of gamers, including me, are likely familiar with the concept of a dungeon, even if it is fictional.
Anyway.
The thought that comes to mind whenever I see a dungeon.
It is precisely this.
'The bosses who made this are fucking pitiful.'
It is pity for the dungeon operators who get beaten up like a community drum.
They literally get beaten up.
They carefully craft traps.
They decorate the interior to match the theme.
They must have raised their monsters with as much care as their own children, but.
[Jackpot! How can such a thing happen in the world!? 3 minutes 50 seconds, final dungeon speedrun with basic items!]
[How to catch a Demon King with a water balloon, lolololololololol]
Seeing them being thoroughly ravaged by players makes my eyes moist with moisture on their own.
Of course.
It is natural since games are made for users to clear them.
But there are many persistent people in this world.
Some call them veterans or hardcore players.
Of course, the game company would just hope that users follow their designs honestly.
But humans as living beings are incredibly creative, so if they set a goal to somehow beat a boss with just a wooden sword, they practice it.
[You're doing this? No way!]
[But it actually happened!]
Seeing as there are so many of these titles on YouTube videos, they are fellow humans, but they are incredibly surprising bastards.
Even the final bosses, who in the setting can threaten all of humanity, merely degenerate into toys that are fun to play with in front of them.
I stared at the hologram that appeared before my eyes.

Internet community.
A place where dopamine, chaos, and disgust run rampant.
People call that dump a so-called community.
Inside an unnamed cave.
I couldn't help but have a blank expression at the landscape that was reminiscent of a community.
That wasn't all.
【Congratulations on becoming a Dungeon Master!】
【Achieve a myth by defending your dungeon from intruders!】
"What is this."
A phantom message covering the community window.
Is this a dream or reality?
Even after thinking it over and over, there was no answer.
"……."
Shit.
There won't be any veteran players, right?
So.
To define it in one word, I am an ordinary person.
My job is a freelancer, a person who lives a boring life that everyone acknowledges will have no dramatic changes in the future.
When I came to my senses, I was standing in a dark and eerie place out of nowhere.
What kind of bullshit is that?
I don't know either.
I slept well yesterday, but when I woke up, I was in a strange cave, and it wasn't like I was kidnapped in a van, but my brain froze at this absurd situation.
Dungeon Gallery.
And the status window.
"Motherfucker, this is fucked."
The swearing that came out automatically.
This was the first time in my life I felt such a dizzying feeling.
I declare.
I am more flustered right now than an elementary school student who pissed his pants on the bus.
Shit.
What about my monthly rental apartment with a 10 million deposit that I worked hard to save up for?
Where is the used car I purchased cheaply for 5 million won?
Was I being punished?
I did shout extreme curses at a teammate while playing games before going to bed yesterday, calling them a bastard without a mother.
Was that such a capital crime?
Just as I was denying reality.
"Wave? Dungeon?"
If you bring someone to a strange place, you should at least inform them kindly.
From the beginning, the phenomenon I'm currently facing is meaningless.
"Even if you tell me to prepare in advance..."
How am I supposed to prepare?
I pinched my cheek.
Since I can feel the pain, it doesn't seem to be a dream.
"Suddenly I'm pissed off."
What kind of shit is this without any warning?
No matter how harsh society is, if there is an urgent request or business, isn't it common courtesy to give at least some time to prepare your heart?
Kidnapping a person into a cave out of nowhere.
Defend the dungeon??
Prepare means to protect it in advance??
How generous of you.
Even the lady driver who tried to hit my car on the highway would be kinder than this.
"Shit."
The problem is that my head gets hot quickly.
If I have a single advantage, it is that I am a person who controls my emotions quickly.
Anyway.
What's the use of getting angry at that hologram?
It's not like that will overcome the situation I'm in now.
"Haa."
Drip, drip-
The reverberation created by the groundwater dripping from the stalactites overlaps with the sound of my sigh.
What is the most important thing in living in this world?
This is my theory.
It is precisely problem-solving ability.
There is a saying I like the most.
Even if you are taken to a tiger's den, if you keep your wits about you, you can survive.
Even if a natural disaster strikes and all property, including houses and cars, evaporates, if you realize you signed up for fire insurance and storm and flood insurance without being discouraged, you go to the local government to file a complaint to get money quickly.
If you weren't insured, if there is a will to record a video and upload it to a site, what could you not do?
Crisis is opportunity.
I really like this saying.
Whining, crying, getting angry, and lamenting change absolutely nothing.
"For now."
I stare at the gallery for a long time.
Is this really a community where people communicate?
Based on my life experience, if there was something I didn't know, it was better to ask others than to solve it myself.
"Can I write a post too?"
Well, how should I write a post?
Would people even look at it if it wasn't an agro-inducing title like '295-year-old Necromancer's Last Sincere Full-Power Last Dance'?
Protocol Confirmation
【You must register as a user to write a post.】
【Would you like to register as a user?】
【Would you like to register as a user?】
Hmm?
Yes.
Nickname.
I have a nickname I often use whenever I sign up for a site, but.
【Newbie】
Let's just go with this for now.
The name isn't that important anyway.
What good time.
I didn't create this to leisurely browse the gallery.
It's just to seek means to break through the current situation.
I tried to upload a post.
In the middle of preparing a 5,700-character main text with great care.
A newly appeared notification window suddenly covered the post I was writing.
"Why is a New User Notification window appearing on a gallery?"
I tried to erase the notification window and accidentally deleted the post.
"Ah, shit."
Oh, this means I have to write from the beginning, doesn't it?
I sighed and connected to the gallery again.
Well, I remember the content, so I'll write it faster than before.
Just as I was about to press the write button.
The posts in the gallery started to regenerate quickly.
To the point where I thought it was excessive.
Feeling something was strange, I checked the posts.
New User Notification, what is this...? [15]
Agro, agro, agro, agro, agro, agro, agro, agro [7]
Shit, was the gallery hacked?? [25]
By any chance, brothers, are my eyes crooked?? A newbie entered Dungeon Gallery?? [54]
What.
Why is this place like this all of a sudden?
I clicked on the post with the most replies.

What?
Internet community.
A place where dopamine, chaos, and disgust run rampant.
People call that dump a so-called community.
The reaction to me was quite explosive.
