(A/N: This chapter was supposed to be released MUCH EARLIER, I set it to the Webnovel system to post automatically, and I didn't notice that the webnovel made me wait for TWO MONTHS, me and my dumb brain, sorry, I noticed the situation and posted it manually.)

Returning to my room, I started the new project. Mortal Kombat is something that I must be careful with, unlike Dark Souls, this type of game would not fit easily here, mainly due to its aesthetics that differ from medieval to technological.
[Michael, the beginning of the game is a two-sided war, correct? How about making this game have two sides?] The system gave me a somewhat interesting idea. Armageddon's story mode is quite straightforward, and to have it work well with the adventurers here, this two-sided idea could work perfectly.
Stretching my arms, I could only smile broadly. It would take a while before I could release a new game, but luckily for me, Mortal Kombat will be much easier than Dark Souls to create.

I was finally getting further ahead; my body was alerting me to something behind this door. These creatures that look like dogs attack ferociously. I need to be careful with even the smallest creatures. "Ah, here is the goat demon?" I held tight to the handle of my sword. I was summoned to help a friend in this battle. I didn't expect that I would be able to help other people, but it still won't be easy.
Yuji, the tanker in my group, had a shaky smile on his face. He had heard a lot about this goat demon and how everyone who tried was destroyed, especially given how small the arena is. "I'll take care of the wolves and distract him, you attack." He soon entered, and without even thinking twice, that creature jumped towards us like a furious beast. Yuji raised his shield, and at the moment of the demon's attack, he turned the shield a little, making the attack slide and the creature fall.
The wolfes were not stupid and soon came forward to help. Yuji, even though he was a tanker, had a quick reaction, As an elf, his instincts were very sharp and allowed him to take good care of the situation. "Now!" And so my body moved, keeping my posture firm, and with strength in my grip, I used all my strength for a direct attack, making a stab attack against the wolf whose head was pierced. "Take that!" Yuji held his shield tightly, hitting the wolf's neck with all his might. A sound of bones breaking echoed.
The goat demon started to get up; his double-wielding brought a feeling of pressure and dominance, so Yuji and I ran towards the stairs. "Stupid dog." Yuji had a lot of trouble against the dogs previously; the last of the wolves tried to attack, but Yuji pushed the wolf towards the goat demon, making him fall down the stairs. In his fury, he slashed his assistant in two. "Oh my, that's the kindest boss I've ever seen." I tried to hold back the laughter and stay focused on the situation; is this time for jokes?
Yuji, with his other hand, took knives from a small bag and threw them at the goat demon. The feet of that huge monster were pierced, making him stagger and fall. "My turn!" I wouldn't leave the fun alone to Yuji. With a jump, I prepared my sword, aiming at the beast's heart. Using my strength and the momentum of my run, I managed to pierce it and keep it pressed. Yuji had a bad feeling running towards me. With his shield, he stopped the beast's attack, giving me the opportunity to go deeper with the sword and finally making the beast fall to the ground dead. "Aah, I need to rest." Yuji's arms were shaking from receiving a direct attack like that, but he seemed happy, so he took out a small red crystal from his bag. "Are you really going to use that? It costs a fortune!" A materialization crystal is one of the items that any adventurer using Instant Dungeon craves.
He smiled broadly. The creatures' weapons and armor stayed on the floor, but we cannot acquire them normally, and that is why the crystals come into play. "Have you seen his swords? the Orcs would pay me double!" He crushed the crystal with the goat demon sword in hand, so with an equivalent exchange, he managed to obtain the creature's blade. "Let's get the hell out here; this sword is too heavy." Given its size, it certainly is, so we went to the nearest bonfire and escaped the Dungeon.

The beginning is going very well, and my programming skills are being very useful. Even if it only makes the situation easier and reduces the time I need to program, it will still take a long time to launch. "Hey Doris, How is the bug part going?" The system liked to be called by her first name, unlike the webnovels I read, Doris is also reincarnated, but in system format.
She paused before speaking again. [It's going well; the skills are decreasing the number of bugs by a lot; my estimate is that the number of bugs has decreased by 15%.] It's not much, but if we go through it in the long run, it will be an indispensable help.
The beginning was going well, I was eliminating and modifying the technology present in the world of Mortal Kombat, but of course I managed to make things easier. Cyrax and Sektor and their Tekunins were changed into half-automatons, creatures that exist in this world but no one knows their origins, perhaps the orcs will love the war theme.
