Rise of a Dungeon Lord

"So what now?"

"First off we need to find a way to reserve more world power"

"After all, if things keep going on like this,

were bound to incur losses"

"And if that happens, this Damn world-will would surely strike!"

Holding the core in his hand, Ye Tian spun it about a bit as he began to plan out if next course of action

First off, he couldn't stop the proliferation and gamification process, after all, it's those two things that even made the assimilation progress reach 40%

Shutting them off to get world power would be akin to shooting himself in the foot!

So removing that bad idea, Ye Tian quickly began to think of others

Unfortunately, his ideas either had bad after-effects or were not feasible all together

"Sigh… how do those protagonists in novels do it?"

"Don't they almost always have a plan? And even when things don't go as expected, they still succeed!"

"But here I am, a transverser, the owner of a system, and a dungeon lord"

"Any of these things would have been able to make a great novel with an awesome protagonist as the lead"

"And here I am an almighty mix of the three, there's no way I'm not the protagonist!"

Feeling his own situation, Ye Tian felt more and more that he was obviously the protagonist of the story, so why wasn't anything going as planned?

And to make it worse, the system seems to hear Ye Tian's words and couldn't help but pour cold water on him

[Host, do you know what a protagonist is?]

Not giving Ye Tian a chance, the system continued

[A protagonist is someone who has concentrated the luck of the whole world on him]

[He falls down a cliff, and discovers some ancient relics]

[ The beggar on the roadside he discoverers turns out to be an almighty master ready to pass on his life skills]

[The tattered book he bought from the bookstore turns out to be a legendary cultivation technique]

[Due to that huge amount of luck, no matter what happens the protagonist is meant to reach the peak of life under the world's protection]

[Also he can push the world to a higher level]

[Now ask yourself this, you who has been kicked out of your own world, and an outsider in this one, do you still believe you're the protagonist?]

Listing to the words of the system, Ye Tian's face turned serious

Normally he would have been angry at the system for interrupting his words, however, this time he was learning something which he wasn't even aware of

Thinking of the fact that protagonists actually existed, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel worried

After all, if what the system was saying is true then wouldn't the protagonist inevitably slay a world invader like him?

Just imagining the scene of the protagonist leading a worldwide coalition in order to crusade against him made Ye Tian get goosebumps all over his body

And to make things worse, the system confirmed his thoughts with its next words

[ Yes just like you think, this world does have a protagonist and under the power of the world]

[As long as you dare to be exposed under the sight of the world, then he would instantly be aware?]

[ Meaning that you can't even leave the dungeon unless you're willing to spend more world power to mask your presence]

Hearing this, Ye Tian this time wasn't that surprised, after all, given the fact that the dungeon needed to be constantly masked

Why would the creator of them be any different?

I'm fact, according to Ye Tian's guess, the only reason why his revival and presence haven't been detected is because he was currently inside a dungeon

And thanks to the world power, not only is the dungeon hidden from the world wills sight but also all its inhabitants

However, Ye Tian didn't care too much as he wasn't planning on leaving the dungeon anytime soon

Just listening to the words of the system just now had made him realise that the thing called the 'world' was definitely not a simple thing

Especially with its ability to actually create protagonists was something he didn't expect

"Wait a minute system, since protagonists exist, do supporting roles and villains also exist?"

"And the protagonist of this world, since they exist, where are they? Can you find out?"

Ask the system this, Ye Tian patiently waited for the system's reply as its next words were going to be absolutely crucial to his upcoming plans

Thankfully, the system didn't think too much and answered him.

[Host, on the first question, yes they exist]

[Supporting roles are people who although also have great luck, their luck in total is much smaller than that of the protagonists]

[Not only that, their luck is linked with the protagonist making it so that they inevitably meet and support him]

[And as for the villains, these are usually more than one]

[Possessing a special villains kind of luck, their sole existence is to become a means of experience for the protagonist]

[With the person possessing the highest amount of villain luck being the so-called 'big boss' in your terms]

Listening to the system's explanation, Ye Tian nodded his head with understanding

Thinking of it now, he kind of remembered the system mentioning something about him killing the protagonist before landing in Aincrad

Unfortunately, he couldn't remember what exactly the system said,

However, after trying to remember for a bit he quickly put it behind him.

*Now it's more important to find out where this works protagonist is and plan on how to deal with them*

Thinking of this, Ye Tian waited for the system to answer his second question, hoping it could give him a reliable answer

And thankfully it did, as without any hesitation the system directly told Ye Tian the protagonist's location

Unfortunately, the place where the protagonist was, was somewhere Ye Tian least wanted

[Host, about your second question]

[In fact, I do know where the protagonist is, and you should too]

[After all, the protagonist is currently at the entrance to this dungeon]

Hearing this, he quickly jumped up from his throne

"Damn! How can the protagonist be here already!"

Stunned with eyes full of shock, Ye Tian couldn't believe the systems words
