168 – Dungeon Design (2)
Orserk, the greatest family in the empire.
Orserk’s purpose is solely to unify and maintain the human world.
Therefore, they have the ability to read human thoughts and then distort perception. In other words, he chose the ‘Magic Eye’ and is reigning at the top of the empire.
Just as the emperor said, it is a munchkin limited to humans.
‘And there’s one more thing.’
However, their abilities do not stop there.
The imperial palace itself serves a special function as their player inventory.
In other words, the emperor has the ability to transform the inventory into a virtual space.
And that virtual space is almost indistinguishable from reality.
I also had no idea that the imperial palace itself was a huge inventory until I heard the explanation from the emperor.
“It’s a dungeon invaded by a demonic species… so it’s possible.”
And I asked the current emperor to decorate a dungeon terraformed by demon species.
In order to make cadets aware of the devil, it is important to let them experience it firsthand.
“However, I can only form space itself, and I cannot create living things. How do you plan on placing the monsters?”
At that time, the emperor expressed concern about how the monsters in the dungeon would be arranged.
However, I answered confidently because I had already thought about this.
“I will make it.”
“····Make it?”
“Yes. “Demonized monsters.”
“···Is something like that possible?”
“I will receive help from my teacher. “I also have an assistant to help me.”
“·····Well, that’s it. The dungeon design will be based on what’s in your head, so prepare well.”
“Yes. Thank you for lending your strength.”
The emperor’s eyes sparkled for a moment, showing interest in creating a dungeon.
However, he waved his hands with a face full of boredom, as if he had never done that before.
It means to stop going now.
After bowing to the emperor, I left his room.
Now it’s time to create the demon species.
***
The Prince of Hell.
In the second half of the scenario, they invade the habitats of various monsters and turn them into demons.
This is precisely why no matter how hard we fight, we cannot come up with an answer.
Because there are far more monsters, tens of thousands of them, than a single human being.
In addition, monsters contaminated by demon species are more powerful than existing monsters.
Monsters that are difficult to attack, such as minotaurs, ogres, griffons, and cyclops, become even more difficult.
Therefore, before entering the latter part of the scenario, vaccination must be completed in advance.
The seriousness of infected monsters must be known to create a justification for preparation.
Only then will it be easier to pursue what I want to do, and the intensity of training at the academy will increase.
“Eve, how about collagen work?”
“No problem.”
So, I am currently creating a monster with Eve.
To be exact, it would be a ‘monster robot’ with the appearance of a monster, but anyway.
In order to express the monster’s skin like this, a large amount of collagen processing machines are used to create skin tissue.
-Chijijik···Chijijik····.
However, elaborate work is required to create a perfect appearance that can fool even trained cadets.
The texture of the skin, texture, wounds, hair, and even the subtle smell.
All elements must be implemented as similarly as possible in order to fool the cadets.
The moment something is made sloppily and is exposed, it only has the opposite effect.
‘Nothing difficult.’
However, my technical skills have already reached the highest level.
My manual skills and engineering thinking have reached max level, and I also have Eve to help me.
It is a tricky and difficult task, but there is nothing that cannot be done.
How much skin processing was done?
A skin leather with a fairly decent appearance was created.
I decided to move on to the next step right away.
‘Now let’s make a framework.’
Skeleton.
In other words, a model that forms the basic structure of a monster.
The framework work must also reflect this by perfecting the mechanical design.
Movement according to the shape of the bone, changes in the muscles according to the movement, and energy invested in this movement.
Taking all of this into consideration, we need to create a framework that can move as vividly as possible.
‘Hologram scan.’
However, this complicated process is not difficult for me.
Just like we gave Elena’s cat a prosthetic leg a long time ago.
By observing an object using ‘engineering thinking’, we can understand the dynamic interactions of organisms.
Based on that understanding, simply create a blueprint, make the necessary parts, and assemble it to create a basic framework that can perfectly embody the monster’s movements.
“Only about 42 movements.”
That’s how I selected 42 movements necessary for attack and defense.
The framework was designed and applied to implement all the actions a monster would do, such as bowing, running, swinging, biting, and scratching.
Then, what materials should be used to implement this, as well as the specifications and assembly sequence of those materials, began to appear before my eyes.
I soon became familiar with the types and quantities of materials, moved to the mining station, and began gathering the necessary materials.
I took iron, copper, tungsten, mana stone, fluorite, quartz, palladium, etc.
After reprocessing it into a form that could be assembled, we checked to see if there were any problems.
It was perfect.
“Then let’s assemble it.”
Now that the materials have been processed, all that remains is assembly.
I began engraving spells on each necessary part using the spell scroll I had previously received from Elena.
Just as the Blue Dragon’s mana circulation system was transplanted into my body, this monster’s skeleton was also assembled with mana stones embedded in each part so that the mana could be distributed evenly.
‘Well, it’s impossible to control it.’
However, it is impossible to control the amount of mana depending on the situation.
In other words, when an attack comes to the abdomen, a large amount of mana from the abdomen is sent to focus on strengthening that area.
Or, when attacking an opponent, precise mana control, such as adjusting strength according to the amount of mana, is impossible.
That’s because the framework I create doesn’t have a computing device, that is, a ‘CPU’ that can issue appropriate commands for each situation.
‘It’s something that can’t be helped.’
And this was something that had to be taken into account.
Currently, I have created a computer capable of programming, but the technology has not yet developed enough to create and port your own CPU.
Furthermore, it takes too much time and effort to create a CPU that can control the movement of monsters.
All behavioral patterns of monsters must be analyzed, converted into big data, and converted into artificial intelligence (AI) to be able to issue appropriate commands for each situation.
‘Because Elena is there anyway.’
This is why I invited Elena.
She is currently learning ancient techniques and can control the robot monster I created through ‘Link’.
In other words, I create the monster’s body, and Elena is in charge of its movements.
At her level, she would be able to control dozens of robot monsters without any problems.
“Phew…Is this enough?”
How much time did you spend working on the framework?
I was finally able to create the basic skeleton of the monster.
Now, all you have to do is attach the collagen lump that Eve made here and then attach the leather that was made in advance to complete the details.
If you make it breathe heavily, drool, and fill it with a liquid that looks like blood to allow bleeding, the monster is complete.
“Eve, you can take care of the rest, right?”
“Well, that’s about it. But it’s faster with two people.”
“I have more important work to do. “I’m going to focus on that.”
“····More important work?”
“Yes. “Boss monster.”
Boss monster.
In fact, the core of this event is not the miscellaneous mobs that are being created now, but the boss monster.
This is because robot monsters like this cannot threaten the children of the Archduke family, who have reached a certain level of power.
If I want to make them feel a sense of crisis, I have to step forward myself.
Of course, it is not a regular suit, but a disposable monster suit that I will develop from now on.
***
Two weeks later, after finishing the basic theory class, I decided to take a practical class.
Go outdoors and face monsters in person, feel your own shortcomings, and come up with equipment to complement them.
The ultimate goal of my class is to allow students to design and request a ‘special treasure’ that suits their individuality.
“Welcome to the Ancient Forest. “Today, we plan to explore this place and use the equipment needed for each situation.”
I came to the ancient forest that I had explored in advance for the practical class. After informing the cadets of the purpose of the class, I began to lead them.
Soon, the first place we arrived at was a cliff with a cliff tens of meters high.
However, I pointed to the bottom of the cliff.
“I plan to go down there from now on. “Please use your abilities and go down.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the cadets started murmuring.
In particular, the cadets in Class B and below looked tearful and stamped their feet, asking how they could get down there.
So, after putting on the suit, I stretched out my feet to the bottom of the cliff.
However, the moment gravity pulled my body, I turned on the repulsor engine and flew through the air.
I spoke to the cadets who were in tears while flying in the air like that.
“There is no need to worry. I will look after you in case of any unexpected situation. And even if you fall, you won’t die. “It just hurts so bad.”
If you strengthen your body with mana, the height will end with a bone or two broken.
Like that, people started jumping off the cliff one by one, starting with the S Class.
Some cadets ignorantly strengthened their bodies with mana to offset the impact of the fall, while others nimbly moved their bodies to slow down by alternately kicking the opposite cliff and the cliff they had jumped from.
-Whoop!
However, a cadet who could float her body like Isabella came down to the bottom of the cliff very easily.
This level of difference can be achieved just by crossing geographical features.
From S class to C class.
After many twists and turns, all the cadets were able to come down to the bottom of the cliff.
Well, half of the B class and all of the C class fell off the cliff and I caught them, but anyway, I succeeded in bringing all the cadets down the cliff.
“Now it’s time to go up again.”
“······?”
However, when I told them to go back up the cliff, the cadets’ expressions were filled with astonishment.
This is because it is much more difficult to go up again than to come down here.
“Can I climb up the cliff on the other side?”
“Yes”
But as expected, the S-Class went up the cliff without saying anything.
Based on each person’s abilities, they reached the top of the cliff on the other side.
“Ugh!”
And from the middle and lower classes of the A class, they began to fall while climbing the cliff.
This was partly due to the wind blowing between the narrow cliffs, and partly due to lack of stamina to climb to the end of the cliff.
From noble mtl dot com
“······.”
Most of the cadets, except for the S class, were looking up at the high cliff in the distance and feeling frustrated.
Some cadets in Class C complained that there was no way they could do something like this and that the difficulty level of the class was too harsh.
“Water will begin to rise here from now on.”
However, I dropped a bombshell on them.
He told me that water was filling this narrow canyon.
“···Yes?”
Then, confusion appeared on the cadets’ faces.
We looked at each other’s faces and looked at each other blankly.
The face looks like it wants what I said to be a lie.
“There are 5 minutes left.”
So I replaced it by saying that there were only 5 minutes left.
Some cadets asked us not to play around and asked what would happen to them if water filled here.
“Well, you’re going to die, right?”
“······?”
So, I gave an obvious answer to an obvious question.
If you remain frozen in this weak state of mind, you will soon be drowned by the rushing current.
“So, wouldn’t it be better to move up as quickly as possible?”
“······.”
After I finished speaking, the cadets began to hurriedly climb up the cliff.
And some of them were actually able to successfully climb up the cliff.
“Ah…”
But most of the cadets failed to climb the cliff.
You either fall in the middle of the climb, or you don’t even dare to climb and don’t know what to do.
And some of the cadets were convinced that what I was saying was a lie, with expressions like, ‘Could the water really be cold?’
-Sssss…
But I have never lied.
When Eve burst the dam, the current began to surge.
“Wow, it’s really water!”
Then this place suddenly became a chaos.
Some cadets hurriedly climbed up the cliff, while others screamed and ran in the opposite direction.
But since this was a canyon with a blocked exit, there was no place to escape.
“aaagh—!!!”
Just like that, the current hit us.
The cadets, swept away by the strong current, began to struggle.
I quietly observed their actions.
‘Still, they’ve learned it.’
As most of the cadets were submerged in the water, some began to use ‘underwater breathing’.
The cadets, who learned a lesson from the previous Battle of Clendor, prepared for this by separately training in underwater breathing techniques.
“Wow! “Save me!”
However, the cadet, who had not learned anything from the underwater battle with Klendor, was busy asking for his life.
They don’t know how to breathe underwater, so they just get swept away by the current and struggle.
“·····.”
So I waited until we were divided into two groups.
A cadet who learns underwater breathing and survives, and a cadet who faints because he or she cannot learn underwater breathing.
Soon, I dragged the unconscious cadets who were struggling in the water to the carbon nanotubes.
After spraying the repulsor engine and climbing up the cliff, they left the unconscious people hanging on carbon nanotubes.
Then he went down the cliff again, handed out three-dimensional mobility devices to the cadets who were breathing underwater, and began teaching them how to use them.
It wasn’t that difficult, so they were able to quickly learn how to use it.
“·····Ugh.”
10 Minutes later.
The cadets who fainted in the water began to wake up one by one after receiving treatment.
When all the cadets finally came to consciousness, I called them all together and told them that all classes from now on would proceed like this.
“The format of my classes will continue to be like this. It will create a situation where you feel deprived and make you feel the need for the equipment. “Then you’ll know why you need the equipment.”
I said that and handed out underwater breathing apparatus to the cadets who fainted in the water.
And then he continued.
“But the equipment is not perfect. “There is a maximum usage time due to the amount of energy used, and there is also a risk of breakdown, so it is most important to discipline yourself.”
“······.”
The cadets bow their heads when told to discipline themselves.
After completing the cliff course, I led them straight to the next course.
We chose places that would be difficult for the cadets, such as a dark cave where you can’t see anything, a forest where oxygen levels drop rapidly, and a swamp where your feet sink.
And every time they passed through such a course, the cadets who lacked skills were punished for their hardships.
In fact, rather than suffering, it would be more accurate to say that I experienced a situation where I was driven to death.
Well, it may be harsh, but you will definitely learn something.
“Well, it’s not that difficult.”
“Is this why we are dividing classes? “Is this really this difficult?”
However, the cadets in the S class were relaxed throughout.
On the contrary, there were some cadets who joked that the difficulty level of the class was too easy and that they would be very disappointed if the class schedule was tailored to C class.
‘Don’t worry. ‘I have prepared a separate course for you.’
But they won’t know.
How carefully did I prepare the course for them?
The course is just around the corner.
