The Wyrmgod of Nevermore. One of twelve Primordials, and a being often viewed as the greatest of all the dragons. The Draconian Accords had been overseen by the Wyrmgod, and all dragons in existence viewed him as the most powerful. While the Malefic Viper had also been a dragon before godhood, his chosen name made it clear he identified more as a snake than a dragon. Hence why the Wyrmgod got the title.When the Wyrmgod had managed to directly work with the system and create the World Wonder known as Nevermore—the most famous in all of the multiverse—the skill of this Primordial had only become more widespread. He was not only the most powerful dragon, but also the apex of all dungeon masters.No one could discount the achievements of the Wyrmgod… but on this fateful day, Jake did feel like he could question the title of apex dungeon master. Or perhaps even the greatest of dungeon masters fell victim to the folly of trying to do the impossible:Make a fun water level.And a folly it w

The dryad didn’t seem to register the words immediately. After a second, she said with clear confusion, “Huh? I… I could… but why?”The old man shook his head and smiled. “The four of us have either fought side by side or against each other before. We know about one another. I believe it would be pertinent to get a better idea of your skills, too, before we move on to the later floors. That way, none of us are taken by surprise.”Dina seemed to consider the words for a moment before nodding resolutely. “Alright.”“I take it you are all fine with this arrangement?” the Sword Saint asked Jake and the others.“It is acceptable to me as long as she does not take too long,” the Fallen King said.“Ree,” Sylphie said as she flew over and landed on top of Jake’s head before quickly sitting down and resting. Apparently, she would need some time to properly digest the fairy queen thing.Jake shrugged. “Fine by me.” He didn’t really believe the Monarch of the Skies would give him a good fight, s

Floors one to five had demonstrated pretty clear goals: Determine the dungeon divers’ ability to adapt to different environments and handle different enemy types. They’d also included a good deal of exploration, with a major part of each floor being the search for the exit.Floors six to ten, on the other hand, had none of this. There were no difficult environments to adapt to, no mysteries about where one had to go, and no doubts about the objective. These five floors were all about one thing and one thing only: combat. At least on the surface.Jake and the four others had appeared within the entrance area to a giant colosseum. Giant, in this case, was honestly not enough to describe the sheer size of the place, as it looked more like an entire city constructed in a donut shape with a large, open area in the middle. Entering the colosseum, their party was met by a guide who introduced them to the place and, along with the system message about the floor, told them all they had to know

The thirty-first floor felt different from the moment they arrived. They walked out of the gateway and into a large chamber that looked like part of some temple, with white pillars lining the walls and a large, elevated stone platform in the middle. Towards the other end of the chamber was a massive gate with a glowing rune on it, emanating impressive power. Through his sphere, Jake also felt that outside of these chamber walls, only the void existed, meaning they were definitely not meant to try and go there. Not that he even thought they could, as the walls gave him the feeling they were practically indestructible.However, none of these things explained why this place felt different. The explanation for that came from the mana in the air… Rather than being the usual environmental mana, this was not in any way natural. After exchanging a glance with the Fallen King and feeling Sylphie shuffle a bit on his shoulder, he knew they all felt it.This was the domain of a living being, or

Jake was blasted backward as he blocked with a barrier of stable arcane mana. A torrent of flames bellowed out from the Demon Lord, obscuring its form even as it walked forward. As the one closest to the gate, Jake had taken the brunt of it, but he had reacted quickly due to his danger sense to avoid any real damage.A wall of roots shot up from the ground just after Jake was shot back, but a blast of deep red flames removed it instantly. Everyone retreated back to Jake as the Demon Lord walked through the burning wall of vines, properly revealing its form for the first time.As Jake had initially seen, it was about five meters tall and had rock-like outgrowths on its skin; all of them were cracked, showing off red energy pulsing beneath. It carried a large sword that looked like it was made of stone, with veins of glowing red lava running through it. Otherwise, it didn’t have any equipment. Even its bottom side was covered only by a loincloth of sorts. The demon’s entire body release
