Synopsis:
Barbara spent three hundred years working at a shady maze, only to find herself three thousand silver coins in the red after the year-end accounts. She’d been paying to work there the whole time.
Wham! She threw her uniform on the ground and packed her things to leave on the spot.
See how Barbara starts from scratch and builds her very own undead dungeon...
Years later, on an otherworldly radio show:
Host: I hear you were scammed.
Victim: I wasn’t scammed. I reported the Undead Dungeon for being a scam ring.
Host: Please describe the evidence.
Victim: When I first got there, the dump had nothing but a little tavern. Now, thanks to my money, it’s a thriving commercial dungeon.
Host: Did you invest in it?
Victim: I spent money there.
Host: So you’re saying it used money from its customers to improve its infrastructure and provide better services to the public, and that’s a scam?
Victim: No? (The way you put it makes it sound like I’m just looking for trouble.)
Host: Thank you to our audience member for speaking up. Now, a word from this program’s exclusive sponsor, the Undead Dungeon...
Victim: ????
One-line summary: After getting laid off from a grueling undead job that kept her working around the clock every day, she uses her own intelligence (conning and swindling) to build an undead dungeon of her own.
Character introductions:
Barbara: The protagonist. Weak in a fight, but a master of verbal sparring.
Leo: Foul-mouthed and hot-tempered, but very shippable.
Little Dragon: Innocent, adorable, easy to fool, and top-tier in combat.
Bill: A permanent background character who likes raising little animals (the spiders, lizards, monkeys, and so on on the second floor were all released by him...)
Theme: Build a better life with your own hardworking hands.
