3 Dungeon Master
He found himself in a white plain room with a fairy beside him.
She said "Welcome to the world of Liberty ..... My name is Zaika. I am the artificial intelligence in charge of this world."
Please confirm your name.
[Current name: Roan
*Continue. * Change
]
Yeah, he was an idiot to use his real name.
"Change my name,"
[ Enter your new name:
___________
]
Roan had to rake his brain for a few minutes before he came up with a name.
"Let's go with 'Grave'. This will define those who try to go against me."
It directly mirrored his appearance in-game, with no option to change any details. In Liberty Online, it was impossible to make multiple accounts. You could only make a new account if you did something that led to character deletion to start fresh again.
Character deletion was not so easy. In his case, after working on a character for 1 year, he got a lucky chance which led to this. Most people would never get an opportunity to delete their character even after playing the game for 4 years.
Selecting his name a few pop-ups appeared in front of him.

Zaika said, "I wish you good luck in your adventure, Player 'Grave'"
Zap!
He got transported to the spawn point in the darkroom. There was a small crystal in the shape of a hexahedron that was glowing. A violet light hit Grave's face, who was staring at the source of light.
"Dungeon core..."
Yup, this was his spawn point, a dungeon. His spawning point was his dungeon, and looking at familiar surroundings, he was sure that this was the main room on the top floor of the dungeon.
He shouted in elation...
"I'M BACK!"
Grave remained sitting there and called out the System menu.

There was no restriction on stats distribution. You could choose your best stat distribution.
Grave currently had worn-out pants, shabby-looking shoes, and a sleeveless shirt ripped here and there.
Grave was very weak right now, and he also needed to develop his dungeon.
Without wasting his time, he walked toward the purple dungeon core. Getting there, he placed his hand on the core.
[
Dungeon synchronization started....1% 2% 3%.....25%....98%.99%.100%.
Synchronization finished.
]
As synchronization with the dungeon finished, he heard a sound. A creature came out of the dungeon's core.
"Yahoo! My Lord! My name is Yunyun. From now on, I will be your aide."
A girl with the stature of a 5-year-old child had just been born from the Dungeon core.
She had fair skin with brown freckles and dark purple hair. Her large eyes had snake-like pupils. Yunyun smiled widely, showing her missing teeth on the front. Excitement radiated from her expression.
"Hah, how can I forget about this naughty Dungeon Manager?" Grave said.
Dungeon managers were NPCs that handled the dungeon in the absence of the Dungeon master. Dungeon managers had unique personalities. The way a Dungeon master did things in his dungeon taught the Dungeon manager how to handle dungeons. They had advanced AI, which evolved based on their master's decisions. Dungeon managers were bound to the dungeon core. They could never leave the dungeon.
Yunyun squinted her eyes at her master's response.
"Alright master, are you ready to listen to the tutorial exploration?" Yunyun asked.
Grave shook his head. He had been playing this game for 4+ years. So, He was already familiar with every in and out of his dungeon.
Yunyun had a surprised expression. She insisted on reminding Grave how important basic information was, especially every feature in the Dungeon. However, Grave still refused.
"Yunyun, you don't have to." He stared at the little girl. "Do your next task."
Yunyun sighed in disappointment. "Okay." She then touched Grave and placed a small marble in his hand.
Ding.
Many notification windows appeared before Grave.

]
Same as his last life.
First was the very basic dungeon status. At the start was the Dungeon's name, 'serpent cave.' All the dungeons had specialties that promoted the growth of certain kinds of monsters. His dungeon promoted snake-type monster growth in it.
His dungeon level was 1 and had 2 floors. As the level of the dungeon increases, the number of floors would also increase and each floor could have one boss monster. The capacity of his dungeon was only 3000, which was very low. The last one is Dungeon funds. This was money provided to Dungeon masters to buy monsters, traps, and other things for dungeons.
After dungeon status was space village status. A village was a space that is connected to a dungeon.
The little marble that Yunyun used to go to the space village. Space Village was like an inventory where the monsters live. The time in space village was 10 times faster than game time.
In Liberty Online, every non-player character has 1 life, including monsters. For a game where players could revive indefinitely, limiting the lives of in-game characters was an immense problem.
To handle this problem, Liberty Online had the concept of parallel spaces where time flows faster than the main game world. These spaces were the natural habitat of these monsters where they live and bred. The hunting grounds in Liberty online had one, or even more, parallel spaces, connected to them.
Now daily, at certain time intervals, these spaces opened to let certain monsters come out. These habitat spaces where no player could enter any of these spaces. Zaika controlled all of this.
So in Liberty Online, every monster differed from others. There were many unique and strong monsters already present in the world of Liberty and many were waiting to come for parallel spaces. This feature changed the entire experience of Liberty online from any other game.
The parallel space connected to the monster's field was a Valley. Similarly, the dungeon had a parallel space connected, known as the Village. As a dungeon master, he had full authority to go inside the Serpent's village.
SpaVillageage was the backbone of a dungeon. Moving on last was the title.
Same as his last life, a very basic title. In Liberty Online, you can stack 5 titles at a time so even though this title was not that great, it had some use to it in certain situations.
His dungeon was very low-end. There was a dungeon master who got a premium dungeon that promotes the growth of Demons. He remembered his flexing about getting 1000 gold as the starting fund.
There was another guy who got a dungeon master class as a random class selection just when the game launched. He was the oldest dungeon master with an entire year lead on him.
The top rankers all were in the 200+ levels. Therefore, to catch up with this lag. Grave had to take advanced steps and worked harder.
"Yunyun, you did not forget something, right?" Grave gave Yunyun a code.
Yunyun patted her head. "oops Sorry, MASTER."
Then, the little girl raised her hand. From her tiny hand, she collected light grains like fireflies. The cluster of light turned into a wooden box.
"Here comes the starting bonus for MASTER Grave, the wooden chest.!"
Every unique class player got a starting gift from Zaika. These chests had random gifts in them.
"Let's see if things remain the same or not "
[
Would you like to open the Wooden Chest:
Yes/No
]
Without hesitation, Grave immediately selected the 'Yes' option.
