# Chapter 0: My Maze (1)
==============================
【Ding! You have entered “My Maze.” Would you like to activate the maze to prevent enemy invasion?】
After a long time without seeing a system prompt, Lin Nan was momentarily stunned when those bolded words flickered across her retina.
She glanced at Trissa and the others by her side. Once she confirmed that they hadn’t noticed her weird reaction, she quietly began to communicate with the system.
“System, I don’t understand… Why do I have the right to control the maze?
Is this Sky Tower some relic of Frost North Snow?”
【Ding! You have entered “My Maze.” Would you like to activate the maze to prevent enemy invasion?】
Lin Nan, “…”
“Hey! If you don’t clarify things, how can I dare to accept such a bizarre mission?
Also, why should I stop them? What’s at the very bottom of this maze?”
【If you refuse the mission, the system reserves the right to revoke some of your mastered skills.】
Lin Nan was completely speechless. This system actually dared to threaten her with her skills!
If she lost Black Snow, would she still be the Cold Moon Witch she knew? Most of her power was based on that swirling black snow!
The system’s underhanded tactics gave her the chills.
“Seriously… that’s a bit harsh, don’t you think?”
【Tip: Starting from the 60th level underground, the maze will be divided into 40 stages. The 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, and 100th levels will be boss stages, where you will personally play the boss.】
【Note: Boss portrayal rate must not be lower than 80%!
If the similarity is below 80%, or if any information irrelevant to the boss is leaked, your attributes will be reduced by 50%.
If killed under such circumstances, your main body will also d*e.
With a similarity above 95%, your attributes will be strengthened by 20%.
With a 100% similarity, your attributes will be strengthened by 40%.
If killed in this state, your main body will not be affected, and the system will provide rewards on your behalf to the challengers.】
Lin Nan, “…”
Oh come on, if killing a boss gives out rewards, why can’t I just be the challenger? Why should I toil away playing the boss and end up being the system’s free labor?!
This is clearly unfair!
The system seemed to sense Lin Nan’s confusion and quickly offered an explanation.
【For each boss stage, the more enemies you k*ll, the more generous the rewards provided by the system.
Once all enemies are wiped out, the system will conduct a unified calculation.
If you achieve an S-level completion, the system will answer one question you are most concerned about.
(Within the range the system can answer)】
Lin Nan hesitated, “Do I have to wipe out all enemies to complete the mission?”
In the clearing nearby, she spotted familiar faces like the Great King of the Split Land and the Alligator Monster, along with a stunningly beautiful new arrival with long legs.
Judgment Day was approaching, and these could all become warriors against the forces of evil. Wouldn’t it be a huge waste if they were all consumed in this maze?
【Note: If the boss on the 100th level is defeated, the maze will collapse completely, and your life will vanish alongside it.】
Lin Nan sighed; the system was forcing her to choose between two unpleasant options.
【Tip 1: Bosses have a variety of abilities. If you can skillfully use these abilities to completely block them, the system will make adjustments based on the actual results.】
【Tip 2: All explanations are subject to the system.】
Lin Nan stole another glance at Trissa and the others, who were closely observing the enemy’s movements. “What about my companions?”
【You can set them as your mini-bosses, but be aware that once a mini-boss dies, they can only be revived in the next major checkpoint.
As your vassals, their deaths won’t affect your main body, which is a little perk from the system for you.
Utilizing mini-bosses will alleviate your direct pressure!
Please note, mini-bosses have no portrayal rate settings, and their strength will be enhanced or weakened based on your portrayal rate.】
Lin Nan let out a sigh of relief. Okay, that works too; as long as she held her ground, they’d be fine.
But how exactly was she supposed to explain the maze to them?
【Ding! You have entered “My Maze.” Would you like to activate the maze to prevent enemy invasion?】
When this prompt popped up again, Lin Nan immediately chose to accept.
【You have taken charge of “My Maze”; you have activated panoramic mode!】
No sooner had the system finished speaking than a torrential flood of information burst into Lin Nan’s mind.
A panoramic map of the 100-level underground maze appeared before her eyes like a gigantic phone screenshot.
“Whoa?”
More newcomers had plunged into the underground palace?
Lin Nan swiped across the screen in her mind, and her vision zoomed to the 20th level.
There she saw Fu Yetian, all geared up, swiftly making his way down.
At the same time, on the 5th level, there were Tiger Demons, Hedgehog Monsters, Bat Demons, and Zi Yi making their appearances.
On the 1st level were Prince Eric, Morris, Adeline, and a bunch of loyal and fierce demon race warriors just entering the underground palace.
Lin Nan was utterly speechless.
Was it really that easy being the newly appointed maze boss?
Suddenly being swarmed by so many people from different factions, surviving their combined attacks didn’t seem like a walk in the park!
“System, I want to take a look at the boss prototype on the 60th level.”
As soon as her thought crossed her mind, the screen displayed a striking figure—a d*ath Knight.
This guy was completely enveloped in thick armor, mounted on a skeletal horse that was two meters tall, also dressed in armor.
He wielded a massive sword, a hefty 1.5 meters long, shrouded in ominous black d*ath energy.
The d*ath Knight, huh…
Now that’s interesting.
“System! What resources can I mobilize before they enter the boss battle?”
【5000 undead creatures of varying levels. Types and levels are randomly assigned by the system.】
Lin Nan glanced at the densely packed crowd of resting characters not far ahead, slightly frowning. “Only 5000 undead creatures for the remaining 40 stages? That’s barely enough to make a dent in their defenses!”
【You can consume Cold Value to resurrect and supplement your undead army.】
Upon hearing that, Lin Nan nearly burst into tears.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! The Cold Value I’d been stockpiling forever, which I thought would go stale, is finally useful!
【In “My Maze,” your initial Cold Value is 0!】
What the heck!
Seeing that line, Lin Nan almost leaped up. If the system had a physical form, she would have smashed its head in right then and there!
……
P.S. At the beginning of the month, I’m asking for votes! Wishing everyone a happy Children’s Day! Always keep an adventurous spirit!
Also, this book has reached 500 chapters, which is quite the milestone. I hope to see you again at 1000 chapters… Fingers crossed…
