Troops a.s.signed : 0/300
Reset Energy : Skeleton Soldier 3, Skeleton Magician 4, Giant Spider 3, Venomous Insect 2
Woojin decided to deploy 100 Skeleton Warriors, and 10 Skeleton Magicians.
When the Adventurers enter the Dungeon, 110 Skeletons would be summoned, and the Skeletons would be able to stop them.
If all the Skeletons were destroyed, he would have basically wasted 340 Dungeon Energy.
Afterwards it would form the Red Portal that will allow the Adventurers entry into his Dimensional Domain.
On the other hand, it one was successful in beating the Adventurers, one would earn Dungeon Energy that was equivalent to the quality of the Adventurers.
There were two ways to think about this. Instead of wasting Energy beforehand, one could keep the Dungeon empty. It might be more economical to kill them all when they cross into the Dimensional Domain. On the other hand, one could place strong forces in the Dungeon to prevent anyone from ever getting to the Dimensional Domain. The Energy would be used to make the Dungeon an ant lion"s pit.
Woojin was still new at this, and he had never had to deal with an intruder yet. Woojin decided to do an experiment, and he decided to a.s.sign the 110 troops.
“The defense of the Domain....”
Woojin decided to purchase the Wyverns.
He bought troop cards to set up the Dungeon Defense. As the words indicated, he was basically buying the troops for his Domain. This was akin to bringing in mercenaries by consuming the Energy.
The interesting part was that "Human" also existed on the sales catalogue.
“Hmmm.”
Woojin"s eyes narrowed when he saw the Domain Information.
It cost 300 Energy to purchase a single Wyvern. He had to use 3000 to buy 10 Wyverns. The problem was the total number of troops he could deploy decreased with such a move.
“Jeez.”
There was a close relations.h.i.+p between the Dungeon Energy, and the troops deployed in the Domain.
Depending on the amount of Dungeon Energy, the number of troops that could be deployed could be increased.
As the Energy increased, one would be able to a.s.sign more forces to the Domain.
It was ironic since the purchase of troops consumed the Dungeon Energy.
“This is why they are trying so hard to hunt.”
If one used all the Energy, the number of forces one could dispatch decreased. Moreover, if one used cheap and weak troops, one would become a target for Dimensional Battle. As preposterous as it might sound, the Adventuers might be able to rob the Domain too.
“What? There is a 30 day protection period?”
A protection period was given to the newly made lord. After thinking about it for a brief moment, he decided on how he will dispatch his defense force. Then he made a conscious decision not to think about the Domain. His vision moved, and the sight of Woojin sitting on the lord"s throne came into view.
“Hoo-ooh.”
He took in a deep breath when he felt the slight dizziness. It was similar to the alien sensation he felt when he used Soul Swap with Ggaebi.
Woojin thought about the "Stewards.h.i.+p of the Dimensional Domain" manual book he hadn"t been able to open, because of the lock.
“Let"s see.”
Level : 75
Name : Kahng-woojin
Cla.s.s : Necromancer(Advanced), Warrior
Rank : Lord
Achievement : 713,219
Magic : 1320/1320 Stamina : 240/240
His rank had been "Una.s.signed" before, but now it had changed into "Lord."
“So I could probably read it now?”
Woojin opened his Inventory to take out the book.
Zzoooohng.
“Uh?”
s.p.a.ce crumpled within itself, and three enormous doors appeared behind Woojin"s throne. The blank wall suddenly held a red, black and white door.
“What the h.e.l.l?”
He was confused by the sudden appearance of the doors. At that moment, the sound of an announcement rang out.
“…….”
Woojin frowned after he opened up his Inventory. He had diligently expanded his sub-dimension by purchasing the Expansion Bags from the Achievement Store. His sub-dimension s.p.a.ce of 100 columns expanded into an almost unlimited s.p.a.ce.
It seemed the sub-dimension itself had morphed into the Domain"s storage room. He wasn"t necessarily thrilled with this development.
“What if someone plunder and steal everything?”
If his Dimensional Domain was attacked, and if he lost in the Dimensional Battle, he was sure his items would be plundered. Woojin shrugged his shoulders. It was the end anyways if he died. He didn"t plan on letting anyone have his Domain, so it just meant his Inventory s.p.a.ce had become almost unending. It wasn"t a bad development.
The Inventory still worked like before. He was able to put in and take out items easily.
He took out the manual book called "‘Stewards.h.i.+p of the Dimensional Domain’. The lock had finally been opened, and it was possible for him to read it.
He sat on a chair, and he carefully read the manual. After 30 minutes, he closed the book.
“Those sons of b.i.t.c.hes.”
Trahnet. Woojin didn"t know who he was, but he would most definitely kill him if they ever meet someday.
Trahnet had put this in place quite well.
Then there was Trahnet"s commanders. He now understood what the 72 steps was.
They weren"t lords. They were on the level of being sovereigns.
If one possessed one Throne, then one was on the 1st step. One could possess up to 72 Thrones, then one could reach the 72nd step.... They were fighting for the higher Thrones to become the Great Lord. They were playing an unending compet.i.tion.
Moreover, Woojin had to become a soverign to be able to possess lords as va.s.sal. He’ll be able to own up to the number of Thrones he possessed.
“Well, I"ll play with you guys.”
Since the game board is already in place, Woojin would have real fun using it. If he wanted to flip the board in the end, he needed to know more about it.
Before Woojin put away the book into his Inventory, he approached the doors that had formed behind him. When he opened the red door, a large storage room was revealed. All of his items were arranged neatly inside. He tried tossing the book into the room.
The record of the book being stored was shown on his Inventory Window. Woojin nodded his head.
“I can put in and take out items through this door.”
It didn"t matter if he directly brought the item into the storage room or he used the Inventory Window like he did before. Both methods were using the same storage s.p.a.ce now.
“This… It"s locked.”
Woojin walked towards the white door, which was immediately behind the throne. He had no idea if this door also had a Rank lock. The manual didn"t talk about the 3 door at all.
Woojin stood in front of the black door on the right.
“This one is open.”
Since there wasn"t a lock, Woojn opened the door.
When the black door opened, he saw a large s.p.a.ce with marble floors, and he saw a lot of Skeletons lined up in place.
“This place….”
In the distance, he saw a place that looked like a stable filled with Phantom Steeds. Next to it, the Death Knights were sparring with each other.
Across the large s.p.a.ce, there was a tower rising high into the sky, but the light was off as if the owner wasn"t back yet. There was a shack near the door, and there was a candle lit inside.
Weeeeng.
“Where are you going, Dolae-jeeng!”
The door to the hut opened, and Dolsae popped out. Bibi was chasing after him, but she stopped when she saw Woojin.
“Uh?”
Bibi blinked her round eyes as she looked at Woojin.
“Ooh-ahhk. Master has entered the Summon Room!”
Bibi let out a yell of surprise. The Skeletons and the Death Knights, who had been training, all turned their gazes towards the doorway.
