15(Rewritten)
A way for them to progress within the dungeon. It would take some time before the dungeon was made public but that was fine with them. It was time that mortals were made aware once more of their existence. And in exchange, they would be strengthened. They would walk within the dungeon and convert their experiences directly into power.
And it would also serve as entertainment for them.
-------------------------------------------------
Alex had been very busy populating the world. He wanted the world itself to tell a story about how things happened there. Maybe, in this way people could avoid the obvious mistakes that were made at some point.
He still found it a little amazing that such a world existed. An entire world destroyed due to an AI going haywire and humanities attempt to still keep surviving. Alex truly felt pity as he kept on making the machines, one after another. Each machine having an oblivious wayt o take them down quickly. He had no doubt that if someone studied it within the game. It would be possible to create a real life equivalent of these machines.
Now, he finally go to the machine that he truly wanted to make. The thunderjaw. A war machine on land. Modeled after the famous T-rex. Mounted cannons, a radar system to detect hostiles. Disc launchers installed on top of it. This was truly a wet dream for him. And this was much harder compared to playing on the screen of a computer. No, people could feel the breath, each earth shaking step. The roar would reverberate through their entire body. And these machines would truly be hunters when being fought. They would chase people down, fire multiple weapons at the same time. Using the cannons on its head while chasing down people. This was truly glorious.
Alex began to cackle madly at his own genius. Thunderjaws, Glinthawks and so so many more. It was a pity that there was just one devastator. in the entire game. But that was fine with him. There were some Rockbreakers that he had no doubt that people will lose to again and again.
The more he can get people to play, the more quickly he can pay off his debt to the system.
Now, he began to populate the world. With the different tribes, he wrote each of their backstory. About, how they struggled. The clues left throughout the world regarding the devastation that it had gone through. Elizabeth Sobek, he had made everything. The betrayal.
It was unfortunate but he had to limit the size of the world. There would be an invisible barrier around the borders of the playable areas of the game. He made it so that it was impossible to go through them.
Alex was standing over the cloud as he looked over the world that he had created. Machines flew about as it was peaceful. There were some birds as well. And he looked at Gaia within the lands of the Nora. From there the game would truly begin. Alex hoped that a lot of people played this game. All in order to pay off his debt quickly.
Alex had stretched himself and a screen had popped out in front of him.
---------------------------------------------------
Launch the game
[Yes] [No]
----------------------------------------------------
With a smile on his face, Alex had clicked on yes.
------------------------
Being X was hoping with excitement as he had a single thought. And so it begins. Using his own powers, he had created a client. A client that had been called Tartarus. With the logo of a hammer and anvil with fire surrounding it. Using his own will, he had it made compatible with in all devices that were computers or those that resembled computers. Advertisements for those who could would be played. A link would be provided to the client. Here would be Alex's other creations as well.
With a smile, he made another program called Dungeon.exe. Anyone who pressed it, would have a portal open to the first floor of the Tavern. There was just one condition to activate it. They had to beat the game as well. It was named Horizon: Zero Dawn. He can't let the disrespectful brat earn money too easily right.
-------------------------------------
Alex was happily going around, he wanted to make some food for himself and meowth. His smile was wiped out when he saw a message appear in front of him.
[Currency exchange system is online. System will find value of currency and give equivalent of value to user. ]
[Possible to convert currency to dungeon points and vice versa.]
[Dungeon can only be unlocked after completing Horizon Zero Dawn.]
"Damn you, Being X." He had yelled out into the atmosphere. If he knew this, he would not have made the game this hard. He instead would have made it as easy as he could. So more and more people could finish it. But thinking about it, he realized that it would not be good as well. Dying in the dungeon had a certain trauma associated with it. It's not easy to have yourself be eaten. Some monsters had some very weird habits. This game may weed out some mentally strong people and find them worthy of coming to the Tavern.
Oh crap, he would need to hire some guards as well. He was in so much danger. There were so many people who were gonna come after him to get his power.
That does not matter, first he would make a Krabby Patty for himself and his little friend.
He fired up a grill and soon he was done.
"Meowth, it's time to eat some food." He had called out to the Pokémon who was grooming himself at the moment. Smelling the food, the Pokémon had approached him.
"Boss, what's that heavenly smell." Meowth had asked him.
"Just a Krabby Patty with the works." He had smiled at him as he put the food down and set the table.
Meowth had taken a bite and then had started eating it like crazy.
"How uncouth." Alex had said as he had taken a single bite as well. His brain short circuited from the overload of flavor and he began to eat it insanely as well. The burger was done in a few moments.
Meowth was patting his bulging stomach and Alex was doing the same. He had no idea how the other Amazonian could eat that much.
"Let's go outside, Meowth. It's almost night and we need to meet the Queen. Let me just prepare some thing for them as well."
Alex had made 6 more Krabby Patties and had placed them with in a take out box. He had packaged them and with the help of Meowth had carried them to the palace. He also needed to give them some updates. He could not let his cash cows, he meant sisters be none the wiser. He need to inform them regarding the case of the payment with coins fact.
However, Alex had made one foolish mistake while he was leaving. That was the fact that there were not a lot of people who were aware of his existence. And certainly not all people within the palace.
So, it is with great regret that he had to inform people with the fact that he was surrounded and on his knees. With soldiers surrounding him and Meowth as a alarm had been raised.
"Intruder, how did you find your way to this Island."
"I was born here." He had answered sheepishly.
"Your words betray you. No male had been born on this Island." Alex had focused on the guard that was pointing her spear at him. She looked remarkably like Diana. Exactly like a twin.
"He must be brought to the Queen. She must be informed that Themsycria had been breached by a male."
"I will take him." She had said as she roughly grabbed his shoulder and began to push him to the palace.
Her sisters following her.
-------------------------------------
Donna's eye had widened when she had touched the male. A system had opened up in front of her.
----------------------
Obito System.
Get your destined brother back.
To get the person you love back, you will have no qualms with bringing the world to its knees.
--------------------------
For the moment, she ignored this. She would demand an explanation from her mother Derione. It would be her first time looking at the Queen as well. For some reason, her mother had forbidden such a thing.
