My Level Zero System

Because this is an extremely important Dungeon, even the records classified as "official" are quite numerous.

Here, Kain also saw paintings drawn by an unknown soldier about his days stationed at the lonely fortress.

These drawings were all drawn with charcoal pencils, so they looked a bit messy and blurry. However, the soldier's artistic skills were quite good, so Kain could clearly see what the images were trying to convey.

The first drawing, titled "night watch".

From the high vantage point of the painting, Kain guessed that the artist was looking at a soldier on guard duty on the wall. The soldier's gaze was directed outward, taking in the distant scenery. No, not too far away because the fog was a big hindrance.

However, the highlight of this painting does not come from the gloomy and creepy scene that the fog brings, but the highlight lies in the corner of the painting, where a dry, skinny hand appears, which must be the hand of Crawler.

"It seems that apart from the waste of manpower and resources, living in a Dungeon is really a bad idea."

"The pressure from monsters over a long period of time can also be enough to break down the human psychological limits."

Kain pondered, then turned to another page.

The second drawing, titled "missing".

Once again, the point of view is set on a soldier who is searching for missing members with his comrades. In the center of the painting is a tree surrounded by soldiers. Leaning against the tree is a bloody corpse, or rather, the remaining half of a soldier's body.

And once again, hidden details emerged, like in a tree not far away, there was a pair of exposed legs, seemingly where the Crawler was hiding.

Unlike the first drawing, the second drawing has a few lines of notes attached below it.

In the beginning, there were plans to colonize and expand the lonely fortress, but once they left the fortress's range, the death and disappearance rates increased dramatically, leading to the plan being abandoned.

Note, once going on a trip outside the fortress, always go with a team of ten or more people. Always remember the number of people from the start and check periodically, because Clawer can take advantage of the terrain and fog to blend in.

"If you are lost and see "someone" approaching you, suicide may be a good option."

A chilling conclusion.

From the signs and notes above, Kain had the feeling that the Crawler seemed to have recovered a bit of its sanity. Although it was hardly comparable to the Salamander leader, they still possessed the same animal-like hunting instincts.

Kain flipped open the third drawing, titled "tracking".

The point of view is set in a bedroom, seemingly coming from a person lying on the bed. Everything that appears in the room appears normal, except for two things.

First, there was a vague shadow cast by the light coming from outside the window. The fact that the curtains were covering the window made the shadow even more vague, to the point that if someone saw it, it was uncertain whether there was anyone standing outside.

Second, the light coming in through the crack in the door. This light was broken in two places, just in line with the position of the two feet. That is, if someone or something was standing outside the door and the light was coming in, what would appear would be like this.

Unlike the previous two drawings, even the author of the drawing was not sure if what he drew was the Crawler, or just an illusion exaggerated by his fear. Therefore, there were only two signs like this for the viewer to guess.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After that, there were no more drawings, but what this series of drawings represented, Kain already knew.

Fear, horror and terrible pressure.

Living here is equivalent to having to endure all three of the above factors at the same time.

One must know that the soldiers who could be selected to be stationed in this harsh place were all extremely resilient. But if even the most resilient of them could collapse under pressure, then could a group of students who were not even twenty years old last for a month?

At the end, although there is no more drawing, there is still a note.

"The troop transfer period has been reduced from three months to three weeks."

This meant that, even for soldiers, enduring three weeks of torment was the limit.

That's not good news at all.

So there was a question that popped up in Kain's mind, for the soldiers it was dangerous, but for Magus it was not certain.

So where are the Magus?

Looking at the plans for the construction of the lonely fortress, Kain could see the ambition of the government. With such ambition, could they not invite a few dozen Magus to defend the fortress?

So, Kain continued to look for another book about the lonely fortress project.

Here, Kain also witnessed the lavish Magus formation used to defend the fortress.

Four high-class Magus, each high-class Magus controls five mid-class Magus, for a total of twenty mid-class Magus. Each mid-class Magus controls five low-class Magus, for a total of one hundred low-class Magus.

Here, Kain also saw a detailed map of the lonely fortress, with each high-class Magus controlling one of the east, west, south, and north directions of the fortress. The Magus were also arranged in a spider web pattern, allowing for maximum communication and control.

For example, if there are twenty-five low-class Magus stationed on the east side of the fortress, the eastern area of the fortress will be divided into twenty-five parts, with each low-class Magus ruling over it.

These twenty-five parts will then be divided into five parts corresponding to the five mid-class Magus.

This tactic not only controlled the area to the maximum extent, but also made it impossible for any movement to escape the eyes and ears of the Magus network.
