Mice dominate the dungeon

Several months ago, a batch of newborn mice were born in the mouse enclosure.

To be precise, the rat park at that time could not even be considered a park, and it was not yet located deep in the mining area.

At that time, there was only one base camp, one nursery and barracks, and two construction rats.

At that time, the nursery corner did not yet have designated military branches.

Newborn mice of different breeds and types live together in this way.

Korgan was born in this environment and spent a leisurely and happy childhood in the nursery.

As time went by, Korgan grew little by little under the care of the nursery corner, and at the same time, it made many friends.

Until one day, the young mice in Korgan were moved from the nursery to the barracks.

Upon entering the barracks, Korgan encountered the most important event of its rat life.

It must receive the lord's blessing, merge its consciousness into the rat swarm, and complete a miraculous transformation!

At that time, the ignorant Korgan was unaware of these things.

It had no idea what a lord was, what a blessing was, or what the rat pack consciousness was, nor did it know its own future fate. In this way, it completed its transformation in a daze.

But one image was deeply etched into its mind.

One face!

A face that appears during a blessing!

When Korgan saw that face, he sensed excitement, satisfaction, affection, and a hint of emotion he hadn't felt when looking at other hamsters!

After the blessing, Korgan seemed to have gained enlightenment and understood many things that he could not understand before.

He realized that he was a savage soldier rat.

They learned that they lived in a large family called "Mouse Park".

They also learned that the owner of that face was none other than their lord—Boss Twitch!

In the days that followed, Korgan continued to grow, train, fight, and recuperate.

It once snatched food from the mouth of a large monster...

It once fled alongside Twitch, the leader...

It used to sleep with its companions at night atop a giant, glowing mushroom-shaped umbrella...

It once stood alone in the training camp, monotonously practicing combat skills...

It went from a new recruit to a veteran.

It also watched as the mouse park gradually expanded and grew, eventually settling in a natural cave deep in the mine.

Korgan gradually noticed that there were more and more mice in the park, but he recognized fewer and fewer of them...

It subconsciously wants to make more friends, but is also somewhat afraid of making friends.

Ultimately, it became an instinctive urge to protect the new recruits, taking the danger upon himself...

After some time, Korgan was troubled by another problem.

It sensed that the newly recruited Savage Soldier Rat, having just joined the camp, seemed to be stronger and braver than it, a veteran, and even possessed an inexplicable innate proficiency in weapons and skills.

Korgan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. Helpless, it could only go to Boss Tucci.

Tucci watched it silently for a while before speaking to explain.

"This is an inevitable result of his growth as a lord!"

In the days to come, this situation will only worsen.

It was around that time that Tucci suggested sending it to the rear troops.

Korgan refused, believing it could continue fighting on the front lines.

Twitch seemed to have guessed its choice, and gave it a thin booklet before it left the base camp.

The booklet contained illustrations of adventurers on the ground wielding weapons.

The older one told it that this booklet contained skills that newborn mice did not possess.

Korgan, who had unwavering faith in his leader, began training day and night, changing his previous movements and completely imitating the patterns in the book to swing his blade.

Even though the actions depicted in the pattern caused it immense discomfort, it persisted in performing them.

It's not that Korgan is particularly good at enduring hardship, but we sincerely hope that our leader can keep him on the front lines to continue serving!

However, the reality was even more brutal than Korgan had imagined.

The talents displayed by the soldier rats around him were becoming increasingly terrifying, especially the newly born giant soldier rat, whose size was already several times larger than his!

Korgan wasn't jealous of the new recruits; it was just afraid of falling behind the new rats and being a burden on them on the battlefield.

In addition, no matter how many times it is practiced, it can never smoothly and completely perform the movements in the book.

It wasn't until recently that the anxious Korgan finally understood the meaning of Tucci's words.

As the eldest mouse steadily improves, the Lord's Blessing will become increasingly powerful. Through continuous eugenics, the young mice's physique and talents will become increasingly terrifying.

And it seems to be nearing obsolescence... There will be no place for it in future barracks...

The only thing we can offer now is the meager experience gained from a long period of warfare...

Korgan!

It was unwilling to accept this!

For it, for the savage soldier rat, fighting and killing are what its bloodline yearns for!

It was terrified!

It couldn’t just grow old and die in the rear; it wanted to continue following in its leader’s footsteps, expanding its territory and building up the glory of the rat colony!

It hates itself!

I hate that I'm so bad at talent, I can't even master a simple combat skill after so long!

What it fears most is that its leader will be disappointed in it!

If it weren't for Boss Twitch's tacit approval of its willfulness, it would never have appeared on the battlefield, much less have messed up the mission entrusted to it by the boss!

For some reason, Korgan recalled the gentle face of the boss when he first saw it!

In those clean and pure eyes, it saw surprise, favor, and recognition!

But it had been a very long time since it had seen its leader show any sign of approval towards it...

"Damn it!"

"I won't allow you to die!!"

Tucci's voice boomed in Korgan's mind.

This moment!

The flame deep within Korgan's heart was completely ignited!

It was excited anger, long-suppressed anger, and the most primal anger of a barbarian!

Like lightning striking a thousand-year-old withered forest, scalding magma surged through its veins, from the heart to the fingertips, from the spinal cord to the heels, every muscle fiber, every nerve was burned and boiled by this fury.

The excruciating, penetrating wound, the utter exhaustion, the dying resentment—all were burned to nothingness by this scalding flame of fury!

Seeing the guardian ant raise its mandibles and charge at him, Korgan gripped his battle blade tightly.

There was no room for thought, no hesitation whatsoever. The sword-wielding skills honed through countless trials and the deliberate changes in posture during training had long been integrated into this enraged body!

At this moment, all the awkwardness, strangeness, and stagnation transformed into a beautiful yet deadly arc of light!

The guardian ants in front of him seemed not to exist. The battle blade pierced into his flesh without any resistance. Using his head as the central axis, it cut him in two from top to bottom!

It's as simple as Korgan swinging his knife at thin air in training camp!
