New Update (2): Climbing the Labyrinth Tower
Labyrinths or tower-climbing—a staple content type from countless games in his past life.
You could call it a massive dungeon that players conquer floor by floor.
Its addictive, layer-by-layer progression drew in hordes of players, making it wildly popular.
"The first major new content added to Luddera, which was just one vast open world. How could it not be a hit?"
The original Luddera was nothing more than the enormous world he'd crafted. Players wandered it, enjoying adventures—but now, something incomparably grander had arrived.
And on top of that, the first to reach the top would earn a Hidden class or Hidden item.
In a world where a single Epic class caused pandemonium, guaranteeing a Hidden class would send shockwaves.
He'd planned to polish it up more and release it after settling into the academy.
"No helping it."
He'd overheard someone enjoying his world complaining about the lack of fresh content.
Time to deliver.
-My lord!
Just then, Kartesia's voice echoed in his mind.
-A massive update?! What is the meaning of this?!
It was a frantic mix of excitement and bewilderment—utterly unlike her usual stiff tone.
"Hehe. I prepared a fun new playground as a gift. Like it?"
-Like it...? Of course I'm thrilled! ...But wait, does this mean you prepared such a grand update just for me?!
It wasn't just for her... but whatever.
-All this... just for me...?!
Should be fine... right?
The community hub built into login devices for Luddera players—a unique space unlike anything on the continent. It buzzed with activity daily, but today? Logins were off the charts.
• New Content Added: Labyrinth Tower Appears
• A special dungeon with an entire world per floor
• First player to reach the top gets a Hidden class or Hidden item
Transcribed straight from the system message sent by GM.
"...Inferior pests, frothing without knowing their place."
Diana, the Demon King to whom Albus had delegated full authority over the Luddera community as Juttak, muttered while propping her chin.
"That's what makes it fun."
She grinned at the community screen.
Stepping on lazy bugs was boring; crushing ones that wriggled desperately? Delicious.
Her admin powers perfectly fed her twisted tastes.
"And not just Luddera—adding an unknown dungeon packed with multiple worlds inside."
Even she, wielding Demon King authority, could scarcely fathom the scale.
"Is GM a Creator God or what?"
She'd logged in out of curiosity for this novel "virtual reality magic."
Then GM, the world's admin, messaged her.
> Want to build a community. Need an admin. Offer you the role?
Community? What's that?
Asking her to admin something totally alien.
Most would've balked, but Diana accepted.
Being cooped up in the Demon King's castle, buried in paperwork? Soul-crushingly dull.
Then—bam. The absurd wonder of "community" unfolded.
A playground of godly leisure, anonymous mingling unbound by location.
She grew more hooked on the community than Luddera itself—and on GM.
Who pulls off nonsense like this? Outer god from another dimension? Ancient high god heralding all deities' doom?
She vowed to uncover GM's true nature.
That's why she'd slaved away unpaid as admin.
Afterward, GM messaged her about Luddera's changes—"updates"—and she'd posted them as announcements.
But GM remained elusive.
Each update only distanced her further.
This one especially screamed omnipotence.
Meanwhile, the community was chaos incarnate over the Labyrinth Tower.
Some plotted futures around the Labyrinth Tower's continental ripple effects.
Others just fanboyed over fresh fun.
Some hoped their "wrong" class would shine in the meta shift.
And braindead trolls shitting posts amid the frenzy.
Albus's whim had unleashed the Labyrinth—a content drop of absurd magnitude.
"Labyrinth, huh."
Diana murmured while deleting troll posts.
The community and her admin role suited her perfectly, so she'd never explored Luddera.
Always glued to the screen.
Classes/elixirs meant zilch to her overwhelming power, and the adventure space didn't thrill her.
But this Labyrinth? Different.
"An unknown dungeon of countless dimensions."
Beyond tormenting others, she loved battle—sparking her interest.
Luddera's foes were too feeble.
"Hope it satisfies me."
Paat!
She pulled up the community screen and hit "New Post."
Got business—back soon. Be good while I'm gone.
Community could wait—the Labyrinth called.
Wings unfurled, she soared.
"Labyrinth... log in."
Her absence left the gallery a troll-ravaged wasteland.
Only victims' screams echoed.
