MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 1414: The Great Veldanyr Labyrinth (1)

Whoosh!

Appearing at the center of a large empty room, Valyr felt a wave of nausea hit him the moment he made contact with the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Though, just as he felt like he was close to vomiting, the young man decided to suppress the urge as much as possible, seeing as the members of his guild were appearing in the room one by one.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

By the time the nausea he felt had more or less subsided, the entire group making up Azure Coalition had finally appeared within the stone room.

Unsurprisingly, just like what Valyr felt the first time, every member was hit with the same wave of nausea as him, causing those that were more sensitive to sudden motions to puke their guts out.

Fortunately, with a considerable number of people in the group being mages skilled in the four foundational elements, it did not take long for all of the mess they made to be cleaned up, which allowed Valyr to focus his attention at the place they ended up at.

”…Hmm.” With a pensive expression on his face, the young man went ahead and ask the buffers in the group to stack all of the buffs they could on him, hoping to boost his perception as much as possible.

Swoosh!

Feeling like his perception was still lacking, he then proceeded to make use of the stat boosting skills in his arsenal, finally fulfilling the requirement he had in mind for his senses.

”Three paths ahead of us,” murmured the young man to himself as he slightly distanced himself from the group. ”One forward, one to the left, and one to the right.”

”Each path leads to a room similar to what weʼre currently in, and each room seems to have similar paths to extended into more similar rooms.”

”Hmm…” With no way to glean any more information from their current surroundings, Valyr decided to return to the group as the gears in his mind worked on overdrive.

ʼIs this really the same dungeon I had in mind?ʼ While trying to deduce additional information from the things he discovered, the young man could not help but think back to the dungeon he previously had in mind, unsure whether that dungeon was the same dungeon they were currently in.

In the end, Valyr decided not to dwell on the thought any further, instead informing the entire guild of his discovery.

Whoosh!

Spreading his aura as a quick way to catch everyoneʼs attention, the young man proceeded to discuss his findings on the dungeon with the others, briefly mentioning the fact that the layout of the dungeon looked as if it had been copied and pasted over and over again.

Surprisingly, this caught the attention of some of the members, prompting them to head towards these adjacent rooms with the goal of scouting out the path ahead of the entire group.

However, just as these people were about to reach the end of their chosen corridors…

Fwoosh!

Out of nowhere, the members that volunteered to further scout out their surroundings appeared at the center of the room once more, causing those near them to look at the ones that volunteered in shock.

Seeing that the dungeon seemed adamant in having them stay in the room they spawned in, almost everyone in the guild unanimously agreed to have more people try their best to reach any of the rooms adjacent to theirs.

Yet, just like the first group of people that volunteered, the next group of people that attempted to head to the other rooms appeared the same way the first group did a couple of minutes later.

ʼWhy is the dungeon having us stay in this room, though?ʼ asked Valyr to himself inwardly, having no recollection of any dungeon pulling off a similar gimmick such as this one in his past life.

Thankfully, the question in his mind was eventually answered by the time the fifth group of volunteers decided to act against the will of the dungeon once more.

”To the ones continuing to attempt heading to the rooms beside them, Iʼd highly suggest you wait for my further instructions first.”

As if the dungeon couldnʼt take the guildʼs act of defiance anymore, an authoritative voice soon echoed throughout the room Valyr and the others were in, causing them to feel as if they were being scolded by their parents.

However, with how sudden this voice appeared in the dungeon, most of the groupʼs attention on the words the voice spoke instead, their eyes slightly widening in surprise.

After all, the voice told them that they needed to wait for the voiceʼs further instructions.

Normally, a dungeon could be explored the moment they entered, no?

”…You are currently the first group to appear in this place.” Fortunately, the voice decided to give the entire group a bit more information after that, possibly doing so in the hopes of deterring people from doing what they did earlier.

”In order for this place to be fully activated, a minimum of 5 groups are needed, up to a maximum of 10.”

”For your information, the existence of this place has already been advertised to those fated in the outside world, so it wonʼt be long until other groups appear in this place.”

”Keep in mind that these groups shall be randomly allocated a different room to yours.”

Hearing those words, the excitement the entire group towards the dungeon was greatly dampened, especially once they thought about how they wouldnʼt be able to monopolize the gains anymore.

Naturally, the voice talking to them already knew about that.

”Of course, as the first group to enter this place, youʼll be given a massive head start over the other groups.”

”Once I explain the instructions to all of the groups that appear, your head start shall take effect, so Iʼd highly appreciate it if you were to cooperate for the meantime.”

Seeing as there really wasnʼt anything else they could do other than wait, Valyr and the others eventually decided to comply with the voiceʼs requests, especially now that their efforts of being the first group to enter had been rewarded.

Luckily, just like the voice said to them earlier, it did not take long for other groups to appear in other rooms, with Valyrʼs group only needing to wait half an hour for the minimum requirement to be fulfilled.

In the end, an additional 7 groups appeared in the dungeon within an hour, which was more than enough reason for the voice to continue its explanation.
