Versatile: Alternate World

The sudden events that transpired are totally unexpected to all players who are just guarding the entrances of the dungeons, forbidding different players who are not part of their guilds from entering the dungeons they occupied. There are no warnings and there are no preparations that occurred for all players. In just the blink of an eye, everything occurred, causing massive chaos and panic among all players as numerous monsters breaks out of the dungeon entrance and started to attack the players who are there.

"What the f*ck is happening?! Why are monsters appearing all of a sudden?!" A random player is having a hard time running from the stampede that the monsters are creating.

"Just shut it up, just focus on running and we can survive-" before the other player can speak, he was flattened by one big monster that is just passing by, a boss of the nearest dungeon.

The other players who are stronger than usual are able to handle the first wave of the dungeon break's monster outbreak. They started to contact the higher-up players about what is happening and some decided to just log out to escape the current situation. But one thing is certain. With the monsters now on the prowl, their natural instincts are to attack and conquer the humans. In short, their first destination is the Capital.

...

...

I went outside my mansion and checked the dungeon's entrance and vicinity to see whether the dungeon break also occurred here too. Although I already knew that it wouldn't happen, it was just necessary for me to check out as there is a big chance that what I knew in the past timeline has changed or totally altered that I don't even know is the effects or something. Thankfully, that wasn't the main case. I summoned Leona and fly above the sky to see the chaos of the Dungeon Break and as expected, it was still the same as before.

I personally experienced the Dungeon Break before as I am part of the guild that exploited me. Of course, I was low-leveled there as that was always the main case of being killed for the experience again and again in the past timeline so I died a lot the moment the dungeon break happened.

There is no need for me to step in just yet. Just because the city is now being under attack by monsters doesn't mean I needed to do and defend it. It's not my fault that the dungeon break happened, it was the fault of the guilds that occupied the dungeon's entrances and limits the entry to those dungeons, causing the quota of clearing them to diminish and since they are all more focused on fighting against other players, they have neglected to clear the dungeons which caused these events.

Confirming that the situation has already gone worst, I returned to the ground and summoned everyone else out to fight. Although we are a bit far from the dungeons, the monsters are numerous and it wouldn't take that long for the monsters to seek out other places to invade or even pass by here. It would be a waste if I just let my followers and pets to just remain in my summon's area.

Then, Cath Palug appeared and started to get angry.

"F*CKING HUMAN! YOU FINALLY LET ME OUT OF THAT PLACE! WHY DID YOU HOLD ME THERE THAT LONG ALONGSIDE WITH THESE GUYS? ARE YOU THAT HEARTLESS?!" Cath Palug complained.

"Eh, why are you complaining, aren't you the greatest enemy that even Merlin had to seal you up? What happened to your dignity?"

"You don't understand! With my body reduced to this state, I can't do anything that would allow me to fight back! I am just a useless pet in this case!"

"Bah, much better to be honest rather than having you awaken back to your primordial instincts and kill us all. You won't fool me."

Cath Palug can't do anything as I grab him and put him on my head.

"If you can't fight, just watch everything unfold instead of being a crap here and keep on complaining. I am not gonna bother with you."

Then, I faced all of my summons and pets and gave out the command.

"A dungeon break is happening outside the vicinity of the mansion and although we are far from the dungeons that made a dungeon break, the monsters will reach here to fight and destroy properties. My task for you all is just to get rid of the monsters, gather them up in one place and continue to beat them up. If loot is dropped, you guys should also pick it up. Not only will you guys have a chance to get stronger, but it is a good opportunity to also increase your affinities with others by working together. So once the enemies started to gather, fight and kill. Increase your battle experience and survive."

Everyone nodded in agreement and they quickly went to the position. Mizuchi even encircled his body around the mansion as it is big enough to be a barrier of sorts that will keep monsters away from the area while the others are stationed all around, ready to deal with anything.

I went back inside and Lily is still very confused about what is happening. She looks at me and is worried that she decided to ask again.

"Please, can you tell me what is going on? I don't know what is happening and why everything is getting weirder and weirder."

"Alright. But please relax and sit down for now. Lina, please serve some tea to your mother. Mom has some tea leaves on the shelves, you can use them."

Lina bowed down before executing my command. I let Lily sit down on the nearby sofa and I started to explain the situation to her.

"The dungeon break has occurred on the dungeons outside the Capital. While we are talking, the monsters have already broken out of the dungeons and are already marching to the Capital and even to the nearby villages. It wouldn't take too long before the Capital will be overrun by monsters and the buildings will be destroyed in the process."

"Dungeon Break?! So even my shop will..."

"Yes. That is why I asked Lina to fetch you along with my master out of the city as I already predicted that the Dungeon break will soon occur due to the negligence of some people due to their greed. There is a big chance that the monsters are already marching the streets of the Capital and started destroying the buildings there."

"Then...even my shop will be gone too..."

"Unfortunately, yes. That will be happening and I doubt some monsters would even spare the buildings. But you don't need to worry about it. Once everything has settled down, I will be helping with the repairs of your shop once the situation gets better. Until then, you can treat this situation as a sort of vacation. It would take some time before the situation there gets better and I doubt the players there will be able to reclaim the city as soon as possible."

Lina appeared again from brewing the tea and served it to both of us. Lily continues to ask me.

"Are you not gonna help with the reclamation?" Lily asked.

"Not today. With all the chaos happening right now, it would be better if I shouldn't help for a bit and see how the Capital handles things and how players deal with the situation."

Lily went quiet. I can't blame her. The situation is very bad and for an NPC who is busy doing business there every day but then one day something caused you to lose your business in a single day is a big disaster. As much as I want to help Lily right now, I don't think I have to do it immediately. There isn't big trouble for me to do it but I also needed to do it later on if I wanted everything to return to normal.

I stood up and left Lina to do the job of taking care of Lily at the moment. I also asked Gobu's wife to prepare one of the empty rooms for Lily to use as her own lodging house at the moment. As much as things get rough, it would be better for me to focus on finishing all of the amalgamation tasks that everyone handed to me. Once that was done, perhaps I can start relaxing or maybe watch as the cities burn to the ground. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Capital, but players need to at least experience that being greedy can also lead to downfall. They should at least learn how to share rather than to remain the same and continue to be greedy.

There might also chance that even without me there, the matter will resolve itself. I may not be confident about them but who knows? Perhaps they will change my mind.
