Chapter-1: I am Sherlock Holmes, Shikamaru and Tokuchi in my past life
"Haaaaa…." He looked around "I am not dead."
"Ahaaaa…" brain is painful with loads of new memories. "Hah… Sherlock Holmes, Shikamaru, Tokuchi Toua in one outs anime, my future self…"4 sets of memories filled up his brain.
"Wow, I did not expect that my past lives would be so great and powerful and my future looked so horrible."
Sherlock Holmes is a great detective with a personality that is prepared for all the unexpected situations. Shikamaru is equally intelligent and war prepared person with many strange ideas. Tokuchi Toua is a gambler but a very intelligent mind in one outs anime.
But why am I a cannon fodder and stupid to lose my freedom and become a treasure finding rat of the protagonist or any other plot line characters. But one of them is stupid enough kill the goose that lays golden eggs. (You will see why later)
As for what is about to happen….
All the people in this world are going reincarnate to the dungeon cultivation world in 100 days from now. But before going there is a special benefit or chance for humans to earn higher qualification in the dungeon cultivation world.
The qualification is higher level spirit roots, bloodlines, bone frames, physiques and few others things of what they can have in that world and what kind of life they can start with. The benefit is not free thing. It has to be fought over. One can even reincarnate with their memories.
They have to buy them at the final settlement before leaving the earth to the dungeon cultivation world. That night every human being or intelligent creature on earth would enter a dungeon like thing that appears in RPG with monster like mouth that appears around them.
They would enter it subconsciously for the first time. But from the second time they have the choice to enter but once you did not enter then you would no longer have the chance to enter the dungeon to gain extra benefits.
This dungeon has 100 floors. One can only explore 1 floor a day on earth time. The time spent in the dungeon world is only an instant in earth time. But in dungeon each floor will have that many days to explore. 5th floor has 5 days to explore but it is only an instant on earth time.
After exploring a floor there are stairs to the next floor. Stepping on them would let them return back to the location they entered. You cannot bring anything out of the dungeon world and you only take a specific set of items on your body into the dungeon world.
Also it is only on the first time of entry and you cannot take anything from the second time. All the powers and other things are locked before you return back to earth except for special abilities or special artifacts that are soul bound and can be taken to the dungeon cultivation world.
Food has to be procured from the dungeon to survive and explore. If died in dungeon they would directly be sent to reincarnation process with what they have earned that are dungeon coins that can be exchanged for special things for reincarnation at the end.
As for other things we will see them along with the plot…
Visva (Universe, all) that got the memories of other lives and future was shocked. In the future he entered into the first floor and the other person that came along is actually his body guard Robert. Robert is also the protagonist candidate that actually came to Visva to get revenge.
Revenge is not on Visva instead it is on the father of Visva that caused some grievances with protagonist family. Visva's father died long ago and Robert wanted to take his revenge on Visva instead.
Visva accidentally found an artifact called life soul cup. It is a special artifact. Every time he kills someone or if there is someone dead he can extract their life and soul essence into drops of liquid in the cup.
This cup can be directly taken to the next life. It can upgrade along with the cultivation and is soul bound. The life soul liquid have magical properties of recovering stamina, healing, magic recovery and even boost cultivation in the dungeon cultivation world.
This is like a cheating tool in that 100 day dungeon and even in the dungeon cultivation world. This naturally made him into a very useful tool but also badly treated because He was kept only for this artifact without letting him gain anything.
Robert directly used poison on Visva and threatened him with his life. Because they started together they would appear together from then on even if there are more people present that appear along the way.
He is a cannon fodder villain after all. He actually managed to go all the way to the 100th day and 100th floor of the dungeon but he has nothing to exchange. Others left a mark on him to become their useful tool in the dungeon cultivation world.
He suffered in the dungeon cultivation world and finally died in the hands of another Hero that know how to extract the soul bound artifacts of others and took his life soul cup from him. Robert died in the hands of this other protagonist (Hero).
As for how he knows that he is a cannon fodder villain, he actually heard it from one of the heroines that is talking to the protagonist Robert thinking that he was knocked unconscious. She is a transmigrator from another world and she is actually his fiancée Ginny.
She is cheating on him with this protagonist Robert behind his back. Her family needs the wealth that Visva has on him and to get it she wanted to let Visva die and inherit everything to her name.
But with Robert that trapped Visva she simply made Visva hand over his wealth to her willingly. She is quite intelligent because she would directly jump into the hands of another protagonist later and the wealth she took from Visva is used to buy various things to hide.
