“Are you frustrated over your long hair? Are you being discriminated against because you can’t perm your hair curls? Purchase our cooling head and hair shedding package. You will never fret over your hair again. You will reach the pinnacle of your life! With the three day promotion for Winterfell’s joining of the alliance, you will get a chance to see Michelangelo’s relic! What are you waiting for?”

Brainiac put down the copy of “Winterfell Monthly Digest”.

He had returned with the gamers to Eternal Kingdom via the Teleport Portal. He was unable to do anything even if he stayed there. The gamers had to continue their “game”.

Brainiac was a responsible Lich. At this critical juncture, he had to help the missing Lord Sherlock manage the Dungeon in an orderly fashion.

When the gamers tried to gain access to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, he would gaze at them with his empty eye sockets. Brainiac also stopped them when the gamers occupied the Dungeon’s land illegally, when they constructed buildings illicitly, when they pulled down buildings secretly, and when they tried to rob the weapons warehouse.

When Brainiac returned to maintain order, a group of gamers was with Eggface, Evelynn, and Lilo. They returned to Eternal Kingdom via the Teleport Portal at Winterfell. A large group of gamers followed behind them to watch the Plot Animation unfold.

“Gosh, the recent Plot is exciting. Sherlie’s missing, Brainiac became the Dungeon Lord, and Eggface and Evelynn went to look for Lilo for help.”

“The evil Andrew controlled Winterfell and hijacked our Michelangelo’s relic.”

“This must be in preparation for—’Winterfell Fortress’.”

“I’m quite intrigued by your words. Andrew became the BOSS of an Instance Dungeon, while Brainiac and Lilo become friendly NPCs?”

“The game officials should write a novel, ‘Dungeon Gamers’.”

“Like ‘Chronicles of Azeroth’?”

Without Sherlock around, nobody could restrain them from chattering.

Brainiac was used to their boisterous manners, but Lilo wasn’t used to the noisy green-skinned creatures.

After she came to Eternal Kingdom, she shut the green-skinned creatures outside the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. Or rather, she locked herself in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall?

“I don’t think this is appropriate, Miss Lilo.”

Eggface sat in a chair and cupped his brewed bloody chrysanthemum tea. The previous seat of Sherlock was occupied by Lilo, and that was the only seat to play computer gamers. To be precise, that seat belonged to Eggface.

“Why is it not appropriate? Lord Sherlock and Lady Lilo are very close! They’ve known each other since before you were born!” a fat Hamster who stood beside Lilo said indignantly.

Two other Hamsters stood beside him with the same posture. The rightmost Hamster said, “The green-skinned creatures love to speak. Why are they harassing us with their chattering?”

The leftmost Hamster said, “Can we have our meals? I saw a Blackiron Dwarf preparing food!”

The three Hamster followed beside Lilo as though they were her bodyguards.

“Apologies, you are now on Lord Sherlock’s private land. As his adjutant and secretary, I feel the need to inform you that you can’t take away the Dungeon Core. Even if Lord Sherlock owes you money, you can’t take the Dungeon Core as payment. I mean, Lord Sherlock will be back,” Eggface said seriously.

“Our lady didn’t say she would take the Dungeon Core away. If Sherlock doesn’t appear for a long time, she will take the Dungeon Core away.”

“Wait, hasn’t Lord Sherlock been missing for a long time?”

“Is it mealtime yet?”

A commotion erupted outside. Lilo went out first and saw a huge Teleport Portal materialize in Eternal Kingdom’s plaza.

Sherlock walked out of the Teleport Portal.

He was wearing a black cloak with a high collar and a red base. His shirt was black, and he looked like...

“Since when did you become a Vampire? And, where did you go, Sherlock?”

Lilo clasped her elbows and stood in front of Sherlock.

Sherlock noticed Lilo and the three Hamsters, Evelynn, Eggface, and Brainiac, all of whom came forward.

And the numerous gamers who were busy watching the Plot.

“It’s a long story, Lilo.” Sherlock exerted his dominance to restrain the gamers. He looked at the Dungeon Lord Main Hall behind him and said, “Shall we go in and chat?”

...

“Lord Sherlock! My Lord Sherlock! I can’t believe it! You left us for tens of days without any news. Do you know how worried I was? A lot of gamers lost control and were doing crazy stunts.

“Lord Sherlock, if you had come back a day later, I may have been sold by the Fallen Angel for money!

“And, Andrew hijacked your private property! Guess what? It was Michelangelo’s relic!

“Lord Sherlock, don’t hesitate! Let’s launch an attack before Andrew obtains the power of the relic. We’ll take back the relic. Otherwise, the jealous Andrew will kill you once he takes control of the relic. Of that, I’m certain!”

Bru talked incessantly in Sherlock’s mind.

When Sherlock went missing, besides their Mana connection, Bru had no communication with Sherlock.

Bru assigned missions to the gamers and communicated to Eggface via the computer. He didn’t have other avenues of communication and was unable to chat with Sherlock.

“Lord Sherlock, where did you go?” Evelynn asked with concern.

“To explore certain interesting things, a part of history and memories. I also found a treasure and fought some monsters,” Sherlock said casually.

“Do you know that your two toys were taken away by Dungeon Lord Andrew?” Lilo looked at Sherlock and asked.

“Was that intentional? Michelangelo’s relic can help us counterattack the Heavenly Kingdom. You can’t possibly let Andrew take it away, can you?”

Sherlock looked at Lilo and smiled as he said, “You’ve moved back to Winterfell already? It’s time to prepare.”

“Prepare for?” Eggface asked.

“Prepare to save the Underworld once again.” Sherlock smiled as he said, “Let me tell you what happened for the past ten days.”
