Novel Full Chapter 96: New Challenge!
Chapter 96: New Challenge!
In the New Leaf village, life was hectic.
Many players were just casually playing everywhere else, but the ones there all seemed to have clear goals. They ran all over the place, trying to finish their armor sets, with some even trying to raise their life skills.
After following the basic Demonic Legion training, they now felt that they could conquer the world! Even with how hectic it was, it sure was peaceful— if one disregarded the corpses that they were still piling up at Steven’s house.
Hell, even from afar, the orange body pile could be seen sticking out like a sore thumb. It looked akin to a monument dedicated to an evil god— which wasn’t that far off from the truth.
But as usual, the peace was bound to shatter suddenly. The Demon King would regularly accomplish something insane that would bring the mood to an effervescence.
A silver light suddenly descended from Heaven! It then landed in the depth of the forest, creating a pillar of light.
[ Wolf Den has been revealed by player Jack’O! ]
[ Special opening event: bonus loot for one week! ]
[ Wolf Den requires level 6 to enter! ]
At that moment, the players were akin to ants that had their colony flooded…not with water but freaking acid!!!
“This son of a bitch. He’s done it again!”
“Oh god, he’s showing us the way, but how are we to follow?!”
“Don’t worry. I have a plan to reach the top! I’ll seduce the Demon King!”
“Are you still dreaming?! How are you even going to do that, dude?! Even if he’s gay, why would he pick you?”
“Tchh— it’s fine. I have a secret weapon. There’s this one tutorial on MeTube titled: how to become an irresistible Fem Boy 101!”
The players seemed as brain dead as usual. But it became even worse when the man himself, no the myth, appeared in front of them!
Jack’ Motherfucking O and the legendary Moon Moon were exiting the forest.
As for how they knew the pup’s name? Well, they had bugged the holy pink one until she had spilled the beans. After all, they had to know the name of the unholy beast on their faction emblem!
“Let’s do this, shall we.” Jack chuckled.
“Woo!” (God-level motivation!)
The players watched his every move. What was he about to do?! Some began to whisper among themselves, betting on a few possible outcomes:
1. Creating an army.
2. Creating an army and invading another beginner village.
3. Creating an army, ordering them to build him a dark castle, and then invading another village!
Their ideas sure were similar…Also, were they really betting on that shit?! It was almost as if they knew about the leadership stat! But, they were bound to be surprised as he completely ignored them.
Recruiting troops? What for? Too many players zerging the open-world PVE content would create a beast tide. As for the dungeons? The limit was only five players! Jack didn’t need anything from them except their silvers— for now anyway.
He approached something that was part of the decor by now: the chicken-shaped hardened dirt statue. Most held their breath, but some couldn’t help but wag their tongues.
“I almost forgot that this was there!”
“Well, yeah. We tried everything, and it wouldn’t respond.”
“You guys wanna bet that he’s gonna do something earth-shattering again?!”
They all turned toward the last guy judging him an idiot. Couldn’t he be more low-key about trying to scam them?
Jack slowly approached his hand toward the statue, and it instantly began to glow a deep red light. Then a few seconds later, it entirely shattered!— or that’s what it looked like!
In fact, it was only the outermost layer that was suddenly exploding. That’s when a majestic phoenix-like bright chicken statue was revealed to the world. It truly was odd. It was a chicken, and yet it looked….regal?!
Then the entire chicken imprint in the ground began glowing as the light gathered in the statue’s mouth. It was as if the field nearby had become a sea of fire with the statue gobbling it all up!
Finally, a red portal appeared, with Jack entering it without any hesitation. Behind him, there was his loyal wolf. Then the two were gone.
Instantly many players crowded around. But when they touched the red portal, they were left both shocked and proud. This dungeon required level 7 to run. Once again, their leader was showing insane leveling speed!
They needed to work hard to catch up, even if it was a pipe dream…

As Jack and Moon Moon spawned on a small stone platform, they were confronted with a sea of white.
That’s all there was: white and nothing else. This sea of white was rhythmically producing a sound that was ever so familiar:
— Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! —
— Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! —
As far as the eye could see, there were only chickens! Hundreds and hundreds of chickens. There were so many of them that it reminded Jack of the earlier event. But this time, the chickens were peaceful.
Moon Moon couldn’t help but freeze seeing this. It had seen chickens before, but it had trouble believing that there could be so many at one spot. At this moment, it finally understood the meaning of a shitload of enemies.
Even its boundless courage showed hints of faltering upon seeing so many of them. On the one hand, wolves ate chickens. On the other hand, could its belly contain so many chickens?! It tried doing mental calculations…the answer was maybe!
“We have to be careful. Do you see that there?” Jack whispered before pointing forward.
The place was a relatively large room the size of a few houses. But it was filled with so many chickens that it didn’t feel spacious one bit. All over the place were pillars of various heights.
Then on the other side, there was a human-sized exit. The only problem was that it was way high up in the air.
“This has to be our destination. It will be a challenge to get there for sure.” Jack commented.
“Woo?!” (Shocked?!)
The little wolf was confused. How were they supposed to reach that?! But that’s when its master pointed at the various pillars.
“Have you ever heard of parkour?”

Creator’s Thought
Infinite often has minigames. One could say this whole dungeon is the introduction to that concept. sure sometimes the beginner dungeon seemed random, but there are reasons behind this. How would most of the players react to parkour?
