Dungeon Core Online 145 Chapter 145

James had always been told growing up that there was a price for aggression. Sure, he wasn't a terribly angry person, and he felt he usually controlled his temper quite well. Plus, the only time he had actually seen a 'price' for anger was with Dwight getting suspended after knocking James out. That really didn't seem a steep price for the bully to pay, and James knew the only reason the bully had even gotten in trouble, was because Xander, for some reason, had turned the video data from James's AR gla.s.ses over to the authorities.

However, James had now learned a new price for aggression. And, also learned that perhaps being pa.s.sive aggressive was even more costly than actively being aggressive. The current price being 25 dungeon tokens, and 30 V coins spent to get just one World Boss mob for his second floor that he finally approved of. In other words, James only had 2 dungeon tokens remaining, and had spent essentially an additional 300 dollars, to get this world boss. All because he had been upset at Rue teasing him the way she had. h.e.l.l, he was pretty sure that d.a.m.ned greedy pixie would have shown her sleeping outfit if he offered her up the equivalent of 550 dollars.

"At least this is worth it." James grumbled as he looked over the world boss he had finally selected. It may have taken a lot of rerolls, but at least he finally got one that worked for his floor. If this was to be his last night of immersion, he figured the cost could at least be worth it. He was going to go out with a bang. Literally.

Collateral Damage- pieces from the Debris Field will descend at an increased rate in a random pattern. Pieces of debris have 15 HP, a 70% chance to dodge, and do 500 damage in a 20-foot radius.

ALIENS!- As the M.I.N.E. Craft approaches, strange alien creatures will take the opportunity to attack any and all creatures on the floor. On contact, aliens will detonate and destroy everything within a five-foot radius. Aliens have 1 HP and are noticeable by their distinct hissing.

Extinction x2 – After 10 minutes the M.I.N.E. craft will impact. Upon impact, everything in the instance will be destroyed, and all constructs and terrain will be destroyed to create a nuclear wasteland.

Fallout- Any players who return to the instance will be exposed to radiation. Any mobs that generate into a nuclear wasteland following the M.I.N.E. Craft's explosion will arrive with a unique mutation.

SKYNET – In the event of the uncontrolled descent of a M.I.N.E. Craft, defensive turrets will deploy in order to provide ground forces the opportunity to destroy the craft before it impacts. IF the M.I.N.E. Craft impacts, it will result in a World Ending Event.

Part of what James liked about the world boss for his second floor, was the irony of the whole situation. His second floor was inhabited by Steampunk Dinosaurs. It would only be poetic if they were killed in a ma.s.sive catastrophic even from a piece of metal falling from the sky. The other part of course, was the joke that Minecraft ruined the world. He may have gotten himself unhealthily absorbed in a Minecraft game for a few months when he was younger. After all, it was one of the few games that you could play both in and out of immersion. However, it was one of the few games that had changed very little during its entire existence, and one that had never had a sequel released, just constant upgrades. There were some people who had servers on MineCraft that had been up for nearly 50 years now.

There had even been a ma.s.sive criminal case a few years ago when some players had hacked their way into one of the oldest MineCraft servers and loaded the entire server with TnT, which they trigged to detonate by summoning a single ghast in the map. When the owner logged back in, the ghast attacked him with a fire blast, and set off the TnT. The entire server was destroyed. The P.L.O.T. had since created extremely strict guidelines and protections against hacking into other servers and had led to the establishment of national immersion treasures. You could actually appeal for not only increased protection for your private servers, but also earn a general income based upon your unique server and invention, if it had the ability to appeal to the ma.s.ses, consisted of 10,000 or more active users on a single instance, or const.i.tuted over a year of real time, daily effort.

"Time for a history lesson." James chuckled as he hit the submit b.u.t.ton on his new world boss mob. While normally players avoided his dungeon at night, opting instead to hang out in town with their friends, or to sleep in game during the night hours, dungeon wars seemed to have changed that. Players were still coming and going within his dungeon. Not only that, because he had taken so long choosing his second floor boss mob, mainly due to his growing frustration and a twenty minute long argument with himself over spending V Coins to continue rerolling, or be stuck with a giant purple and green steampunk Dinosaur, the second day of Dungeon Wars had begun.

With the second day started, players who had already done their day 1 invasions, were now able to begin their second day efforts. And while some of James's normal players were resting up, likely wanting to go at day 2 with the same type of vigor and pa.s.sion as they had on day 1, or debating even stepping into BLANKs candy fueled nightmare, it seemed BLANKs players had a different opinion.

And when James implied BLANKs players…he meant two sets in particular. James couldn't help but grin as the now familiar message popped across his screen, indicating his dungeon had been invaded. He already knew that, and the flas.h.i.+ng light on the instance wasn't needed. That was because he had learned during day 1, that you could set up alerts for enemy players as well during dungeon wars. As such, James had set up an alert of SoulDemon and his party. And, they were currently making their way into James's second floor, likely intending to farm it for much longer than they had gotten in on the first day. After all, they were good enough players to know that while the third-floor mobs had been able to bring them down, there was a strong chance nothing on the second floor could even harm them.

Of course, that excluded the level 50 mimics, and the level 50 Boss Mob that was the Perfect Cognivore. And, obviously unknown to even them, the M.I.N.E. Craft had a pretty good chance to bring them down as well. Because while James was certain the ground weapons that deployed when the M.I.N.E. Craft appeared would be helpful in bringing down the world boss mob, he doubted the dungeon mobs, nor his players, would choose to kill the boss mob over the invaders. Or, more certainly, SoulDemon and his party would probably insist on killing players and mobs over the world boss.
