Gamers of the Underworld (Web Novel)

At the Dungeon Lord Main Hall in Eternal Kingdom.

“Underground Forest No. 3?”

Succubus Evelynn sat in front of Sherlock as she tried hard to recall.

“When I was at the Special Talent Recruitment Center, I encountered recruitment notices for Underground Forest No. 3. The forest is a resource within Winterfell Area No. 3. Is Lord Sherlock developing the forest?”

“No, we have been assigned to protect Underground Forest No. 3, so I’m trying to find out more.”

Sherlock waved his hand and asked, “Are there any dangerous creatures?”

“Dangerous creatures? Let me think…” Evelynn thought very hard and said, “I don’t think so. It’s quite a peaceful place.”

“I see.”

Sherlock placed both his hands on the table and nodded as he said, “Continue with your work… I mean, continue with your rest.”

“Okay…” Evelynn stood up and bowed to Sherlock. As she was about to leave, she turned around and looked hesitant. Then she turned her head away and turned her head back a few times.

“What’s up? Are you doing head exercises?” Sherlock couldn’t help asking Evelynn.

“No, that…” Evelynn hesitated for a while and said reluctantly, “I heard the Ancient Gods army appeared in the Northern Underworld and that Eternal Kingdom had been conscripted, so…”

“Don’t worry, I hate the Ancient Gods army the most. Even if you don’t mention it, I’ll hit them hard and protect the Underworld,” Sherlock said righteously and gestured for her to leave.

“Enough, go back and rest.”

“Okay…” Evelynn turned her head and left.

“Wah, that head turning is tiring. She’s pretty sweet though. However, I’m surprised by your indifference,” Bru said immediately after Evelynn left.

“You’re saying that Evelynn is worried about my safety, but I’m avoiding the topic?” Sherlock said without emotion.

“Isn’t Lord Sherlock slow-witted? I thought that such an evil and cruel Devil Lord like Lord Sherlock would be cute if he was slow-witted,” Bru said in disappointment.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I’ve always been like this,” Sherlock said solemnly.

“How do you know that this type of a Devil is attractive to females?”

“From common sense, Lord Sherlock is indeed unattractive to females.” Bru agreed with Sherlock.

“So, don’t think about these strange matters.” Sherlock starting typing on the keyboard.

“Good, I’m publishing a new version update.”
