Gamers of the Underworld

Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry followed the gamers of Eternal Kingdom and traveled through the Teleport Portal to the crossroad intersection outpost. A portion of the gamers had arrived on the Surface World via the Teleport Portal and attacked the Victorians around Victoria City.

Those were the Underworld creatures that General Shidan had encountered.

Patrick Star had started his new column writeup.

…

Patrick Star walked out of the Teleport Portal and saw rows of buildings and huge factories that were producing Magic Potions and various Magical Items.

The Magical Items weren’t advanced Magical Artifacts. They were normal necessities like Magic Lanterns. Though the production was simple, there were sizable profits when sold in bulk. The factories were using low cost and high volume sales to make a profit.

Patrick Star wasn’t concerned about the various factories. He was concerned about the Humans, Elves, and Fairies in the outpost.

When did the Surface World monsters come to the Underworld? Patrick Star felt bewildered and even fearful. It was scarier than seeing the Ogres.

Though Ogres were bloodthirsty and vicious, they were normal creatures. However, the Surface World monsters like Humans, Elves, and Fairies were only seen in books. Occasionally, a few were caught and placed in a zoo as star exhibits.

It was a horrifying experience. Patrick Star felt that he had arrived at the depths of his soul.

Senior Captain Cherry was also shocked by what he saw. He hadn’t been to the crossroad intersection outpost before.

“Senior Captain Cherry, these… are these Surface World monsters?”

They were obviously Surface World monsters. The gamers saw the shocked expressions of Patrick Star and Cherry, and one of them said, “We said that the Victorian dogs attacked us, but you didn’t believe us.”

The gamer sounded angry as he said, “Gather your troops and help us get back the crossroad intersection outpost. Otherwise, we’ll have to pay taxes to them when we do our Daily Missions!”

Senior Captain Cherry didn’t understand what was going on, but the situation was urgent. He decided to report this matter to the Merchant Alliance at the first opportunity.

Patrick Star would follow these gamers of Eternal Kingdom and report this astonishing news. The Surface World monsters were coming!

…

It was another morning in Winterfell.

The residents of Winterfell were going to work. Tens of Goblins, Gnomes, Werewolves, and Orcs were at the Beetlemon Stop. They queued up and waited for the Beetlemon to arrive.

A kid was carrying a huge bundle of newspapers and selling them. He walked to the Beetlemon Stop and shouted, “Hey! Big news! The sinister gate of the Surface World is open once again. The Surface World monsters are invading the Underworld. Eternal Kingdom is unable to hold them off anymore. The monsters will be invading Winterfell soon. What do you think?”

The residents at the Beetlemon Stop quickly gathered around the kid and bought newspapers.

The content in the newspaper was what Patrick Star had seen at the crossroad intersection outpost. The warriors of Victoria City occupied the Underworld’s crossroad intersection outpost, and endless streams of Victorians came to the outpost. They had even built a Teleport Portal.

The brave warriors of Eternal Kingdom were still holding off the evil Surface World monsters at the crossroad intersection outpost.

According to notable figures in Eternal Kingdom, the current situation was caused by an agreement reached between Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City. The Surface World monsters were fearful of the warriors of Eternal Kingdom, so they wouldn’t be invading the Underworld. This meant that the warriors of Eternal Kingdom had been protecting the Underworld from the invasion of the Surface World monsters.

If the newspaper hadn’t uncovered the truth, the residents of Winterfell would still be in the dark. They wouldn’t know that the peace they were enjoying was exchanged for using the blood of the warriors of Eternal Kingdom.

They were deeply moved. Similar scenes of residents reading newspapers occurred at the various main streets of the city. A few Magical Devices with news videos even appeared in Winterfell, and they were being watched by the Winterfell residents.

The news of the brave warriors of Eternal Kingdom fighting the monsters of Victoria City spread like wildfire.

The news was spread by the Winterfell Merchant Bands, which ventured deep into the Underworld.

The gamers of Eternal Kingdom didn’t know about it. Even if they knew, they wouldn’t care, as they were used to being saviors of the world.

Nicholas heard about the news in his Winterfell office.

“What? Is it true? Did the Surface World monsters attack Eternal Kingdom?” Nicholas asked in surprise. His assistant placed a detailed report on his table and took out a Magical Device that contained detailed videos.

This video material was originally for the Winterfell press. After examining the content, they sent the Magical Device to Nicholas’ office.

The videos showed that the Surface World monsters existed. This was a never-before-seen crisis!

“Where is Lord Sherlock? What did he say? Didn’t Lord Sherlock know about such a big crisis? Is he still touring?” Nicholas asked nervously.

His assistant said solemnly, “I don’t know. Lord Sherlock called for a few tour guides.”
