The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 134 - The Final Round
...-Desert World-s...
...Day 10's...
...[.THE WARNING!]...
...[.YOUR BODY CONDITION …. ]...
“Whisper once…. Can you stop blurting that every time.” I was upset as I put my foot into a small cave I found.
This cave is formed from a layer of rock that is quite hard with a very small entrance. I always go back into this cave as soon as the sun goes down. Including also after I hunted most of the giant-sized monsters that exist.
To enter it, I had to force my body slowly so as not to get stuck in the mouth of the cave.
Why don't I widen it?
Sure do….
So that the monsters can't enter.
‘Grrrr!!! Grrr!!!’
There were sounds of some Desert Lizardmen trying hard to enter this cave. But unfortunately, their sizeable bodies as well as their low sense made it impossible for them to enter this cave.
In this cave….
“Welcome back, Milord.” Said a Vampire, and two Goblins who were now on the third evolutionary ladder as well as on the Epic level. Their levels? It's been over 200 since I made him a guard here.
“I'll sleep. I don't know if this will help me rest but…. Please, cover me. By the time the situation has worsened, wake me up.” I said as I threw my body into a rock that had a smooth surface.
‘Bruk!’
[You have received 39 damage!]
“Can this system not tell you anything that is going on? Huh…. Damn, I'm so tired.” I said as I closed my eyes in this virtual world.
This fatigue is a very natural thing because I only play for 12 hours or about 5 days less in this virtual world. While my current condition has far exceeded that.
I have been in this virtual world for 10 days and now 24 hours of time in the real world have passed with my body having not rested nor replenished by eating and drinking.
The tiredness that was in my real body was carried all the way to this virtual world. That is why the developer of Re:Life recommends to play this game for a maximum of 12 hours in a row. More than that, it will slightly harm the body.
After a few tens of seconds immersed in my own thoughts, I fell asleep in this virtual world. My wish…. The brain in my real body can rest even for a moment.

...-Desert World-s...
...Day 12's...
My health is getting worse. I even started receiving messages from the outside world.
...[.Sender: Capsule Device Operator]...
...[.Brother! According to the doctor, your health is quite threatened. If you don't get out soon, chances are you'll …. ]...
“Rina huh? Thank you for watching me...” I said as I walked limply in the heat of this desert. I've been playing for 30 years in the real world. What a crazy number.
Wh why?
That's because the brain load exerted by this Accelerated Thoughts tech machine is several times heavier than staying up late as usual.
This machine forces the human brain to work 10 times faster than its original design.
In other words, the burden suffered by an acute gamer who played a computer in the real world for 24 consecutive hours was only equivalent to 8 or 10 hours of Re:Life play.
As for my case?
Now I'm like a person who stays up late to play online games on a computer for 70 more hours in the real world without eating, drinking and resting at all.
But since I have used this technology quite often, my brain can still adapt. Of course, the burden I suffered was still huge.
...[.THE WARNING!]...
...[.ANOMALIES IN HEART RATE DETECTED!]...
...[.IF THE ANOMALY CONTINUES TO OCCUR, THEN THE SYSTEM WILL LOG OUT FORCIBLY!]...
“Please…. Stop all that. Didn't I fight until now…. God fucking. Block them all.” I said with a staggering body even though my entire HP, MP and SP were in full condition.
“Good, Milord.” Say some Vampires and Kobolds.
They moved forward to hold back countless more monsters. Since day 10, the number of monsters that appeared increased drastically.
I'm sure that the monsters I call just won't be able to hold them back. But at the very least, it gave me time to use the skill with the highest destruction power.
“Amplify…. Extermination.. ray...” I said with that almost inaudible voice.
Immediately, a very bright and hot light appeared before me. The light melted whatever was touched by it due to such high damage. But to increase the number of deaths I give….
“Please…. Help me shift this fucking stick.” I said to the several Goblin Knights who were by my side.
They immediately nodded and began to pull my arm towards the right slowly. The outcome? I melted not only on one straight line, but also several tens of degrees wider than the starting angle.
Although….
Honestly, my heart was as if it was sliced to see them all die in my own hands. But how else? I've been this close to my target of holding out for 14 days. I have to get it whatever happens or everything I do will be for nothing.
“Summon…. Kobold.” Instantly, in front of me appeared 50 combat-ready Kobolds with makeshift equipment. They were on their knees in front of me. Even so….
“Help others. I'll support from behind.” I said while preparing myself to cast the next magic.
...***...
...-Desert World-s...
...Day 14's...
...Early Day...
At last….
I arrived on the 14th day.
Although, all of my subordinate monsters here have died and only left me alone in the dark desert…. I'm so happy with all this.
Right now, my gaze was filled with a bright red menu window that said a continuous warning. How many times have I pressed to close it, or asked the system to close it with my voice….
All of this reappeared a moment later.
I don't care anymore.
Now…. I will soon have victory….
I have done 2 more Ascension times to this day. I put down the 12 Points I earned in Vitality because I didn't want to die silly on my last day at all. While the rest? I put 4 Points in Agility so that I could dodge better.
After a few hand gestures, a menu window displaying my status appeared before me and covered the entire red menu window.

But as if I did not want to be happy, suddenly a voice that shook the entire world that was just filled with sand.
“Remarkable, Human! Even though you are only a human, you are able to survive until day 14! I, the Ancient Desert Dragon, Ruderioss, praise you! Therefore, I will let you to introduce your name to me!” Ruderioss said in a very loud voice.
“Eric, my name is Eric. A Dungeon Lord.” Reply with a fairly soft voice. Even so, Ruderioss was able to hear it.
“Eric! I will remember that name until the end of my life! In your honor, I will give you a glory.” Said Ruderioss whose form did not even appear anywhere. His loud voice seemed to be heard from inside my body.
“What is it?” My question's short.
“I will be your opponent myself, O Dungeon Lord, Eric!”
