《My Birthday Wish to be a Dungeon Master was Granted!》Chapter 33: Prelude to War
Advertisement
“Fuaahhh…”
Soaking in the hot spring inside my dungeon, I let out a sigh filled with pleasure. Not having to do anything for a week except for managing an automated dungeon, yep, NEET life.
After soaking in the hot spring for a few minutes, I got out and dressed myself up. Exiting the dressing room, I saw Shironeko watching anime. She was glued to the TV screen while having sparkling eyes. I just hope that the past incident never happens again. The mana levels in my dungeon are extremely low right now, so I can’t afford to create new things using my skills.
I ignore Shironeko who was happily watching the anime and head towards my computer. It’s about time that I check up on Proxy who I hadn’t checkep up on for a while now.
Booting up the PC, I quickly accessed the program to show the current situation of Proxy. What came up on screen next got me speechless.

~ Third Person POV ~
Earlier…
Proxy made a complaint about the hero directly towards the King. The King did not take this lightly and immediately commanded the guards to restrain them and toss them into the dungeon (prison) to wait for punishment.
What Proxy just did was similar to throwing mud at the King’s decision, making it intolerable to forgive, thus, the current situation.
Proxy and his bodyguards were held up inside a dungeon and chained to avoid letting them escape. Nonetheless, the measures taken were useless against Proxy and his bodyguards, but Proxy never did anything to oppose the King. If he did oppose them the moment they were restrained, it may be a cause to incite a feudal war between the Kingdom and Granc.
This situation was mostly impossible to happen, but because of various circumstances, this was an exception.

Guards were posted here and there to prevent an escape. The others were tasked to give them food one time a day only as per punishment for insulting the King. Again, this was useless because Proxy and his bodyguards do not require intake of food or liquid.
Spending their time like this, after a few hours, guards came up on the cell bars and called out towards the three.
“Hey! Your punishment was decided.”
A guard in particular spoke to them as if they were criminals who have done an indescribable sin. The guad looked at them like he was looking at trash that should be disposed in this world.
“Tomorrow, when the bell tolls at noon, you three are going to be executed via beheading.”
While speaking in a disgusted manner, Proxy and his bodyguards had indifferent faces. Even if they were slashed or sliced by a high leveled swordsman with a high grade sword, it would at most, just lightly wound them.
But the guard took that expression differently as he thought that they must be scared shitless. A disgusting grin formed on his face as he looked at the three with disgust and scorn.
After that, the guard, along with his colleagues left and spoke something about going to the brothels. Since this was unnecessary information, Proxy ignored it and quielty kept to himself inside the dungeon.

~ Daichi POV ~
… So, they are going to be executed tomorrow at noon, huh…
While thinking about that, cold sweat poured down my back and I nervously let out a chuckle.
Why did this happen?
The number one question that I want an answer to right now is this. I gave Proxy the [Negotiation] skill, so it shouldn’t have ended up like this.
While pondering on what happened, Shironeko came up to me and snuggled with my body.

“Mnyaa… Mashter…”
… It seems that she has just finished watching anime and wants to sleep. I pat her head and soon after, I heard sleeping noises.
“Fuu~ Suu~~”
… Cute…
Feeling refreshed because of Shironeko, I stopped pondering and decided to contact Proxy via telepathy using the computer. It works just like a program, kind of like an SMS type of messaging.
First, I sent a message on submitting a report about the important parts. The next thing that appeared was a long essay about a certain religion, along with the events inside the castle.
Reading its contents, I understood what would very likely happen in the near future. And because it is necesarry, it looks like it can’t be avoided.
I never thought that it would happen in just a span of a month and a week, but it looks like war is coming.

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
