Monsters everywhere

“Where the hell did so many monsters come from!?”

“I-i don’t know! I just looked behind me and saw the whole passage filled with them!”

Running through a rocky tunnel, two players, followed by their support units, are trying to escape from an absurdly large number of monsters. The problem is that the monsters are faster than them.

To make matters even worse, they make a wrong turn and find a dead end that prevents them from running away.

“Shit! We have no escape! This is a fucking dead end!”

“Don’t need to tell, I’m not blind! I can see it in front of us!”

The monster horde keeps running in their direction and will soon reach them.

“So what now? Do you think we can survive?”

“I don’t know… If I had enough MP I could cast a few areas and we might be able to survive. But I only have enough for two areas and there are too many monsters…”

“It’s better than nothing! Let’s try it at least! We are going to die anyway!”

“Ok.”

The two players divide themselves into a frontline and a backline formation using the support units. The ones at the front are going to give their all to prevent the enemies from reaching the archers and mages, while the backline focuses on killing the enemies. It’s a decent tactic because of the situation: they are at a dead end, so the enemies can only come from the front.

Not long after, the monsters reach the player’s formation, and combat starts. Releasing arrows and spells from the back, the first monsters get quickly slaughtered.

But the monsters are relentless and don’t care if they are killed. They only have one thing in mind: to kill the invaders in front of them. They push through the bodies of the dead and finally reach the frontline.

The intensity of the battle increases as the monsters and frontline start fighting. Not long after, the first casualties on the player’s side appear.

They aren’t the only ones to suffer casualties because more than fifteen monsters have been killed. But there’s still no end in sight: the whole passage is full of them.

“Why did nobody else say anything about this happening before!?”

“Maybe nobody was attacked by so many monsters?”

“How can this be possible? Don’t joke around! It’s ridiculous to think that’s possible! How can you miss a group of so many monsters!?”

“Shit! If only I had AoE skills!!”

The frontline is going to crumble soon under so much pressure. More than half the support units that formed it are already dead.

Dread and despair taint the two player’s faces. They never expected to find something like this inside a dungeon.

“Doesn’t this look like a monster train? How the hell do you create a thing like this inside the game? A monster train is created when pulling the aggro of monsters as you run away, but there’s no other player who could have created it! The dungeons are instanced!”

“Hahaha… don’t ask me… There’s a reason why it’s called the Evil Mastermind… I’m not surprised by anything anymore…”

The frontline finally crumbles. At that moment, the player, the only one remaining in the frontline, tries to stop the mobs from reaching the back with taunting skills… but is quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies and dies a horrible and gruesome death.

“Shit! We’re done for!”

The monster wave quickly reaches the backline and decimates them in less than a minute.

“Aaaaaagh! Why did it have to be us who found the monster train!? I hate it when we’re the only ones to suffer!”

“Hey, do you think we should report the monster train to the rest of the players?”

“Hmmm… I don’t see why we should… Don’t you think it’s going to be better to share the suffering with our fellow players? Fufufu.”

“Yeah… let’s keep quiet and enjoy the other’s suffering the same fate as us… Hahaha!”

“Hahaha!”
