*Semi-Flashback Scene*

As I was closing up shop, turning off the lights and getting ready to go to bed, I noticed that there was a flash of light outside, and then everything went dark. I did not fall unconscious, just everything outside of my building was completely dark, no light at all, 'cept for the flicking of an arcade cabinet.

Walking over to see why it was still on I was met with a menu like screen, which was interesting as I supposed that it was in calibration after this seemingly random blackout. Though color me confused when something was still working despite the blackout. Checking the screen it had a few odd options.

*End of Flashback*

Suddenly there is a light outside, and I am so confused right now, but I quickly get over myself. I suppose what has happened to me is one of those in another world stories, that I read way back, but instead of coming by myself I was transported in my arcade, And I'm a dungeon now? I makes a bit of sense as now the screen that had been on that cabinet is now hovering in front of me, and it is not going away. Though I am a bit pissed as it converted my money into other stuff, I luckily(?) had most of my savings in the bank and only around 10,000 or so from purchases today, as well as a safe in the back. It seemed to have converted it to some degree that I wont calculate for now.

Everything in my arcade seems to have changed as well, and it is like playing a tower defense game on the hovering screen, but I think it's real life. So I read through the so-called "tutorial" And I've got the gist of everything. My old two story Arcade has now turned into a long maze like tunnel system in this old cave, and I control everything, which isn't much different from before when I was the owner, the area is just a lot bigger now, hopefully I don't have to sweep everything by hand.

Now It's time to start designing this place. I make designated areas with luck based games in all of the places, with my old rides as being in the back and powered by tickets. I made tickets and tokens the main currency in this dungeon as tokens are used to obtain tickets and I still have a lot in stock to use, and now its time to check out the DP Shop.

Hmm these prizes are mostly randomized, but That's better for me, more variety. I buy 10 each of the potions, all 5 normal quality and 5 inferior quality of each. I can pretty much admit I bought 5 of everything 'cept tokens and tickets I got plenty of those in my stock. I did not buy the Ultimate Upgrade as that would have been a big chunk of my savings and I can always save up to afford it later, as for now I need to get a few ser-I mean employees to help out so I check the monsters menu.

It seems the ones most suitable as well as interesting would be the Cursed Humans or Demons, though they seem to be the most expensive. Ah what the hell I can afford it. I buy five more of each and they show up all kneeling. I also had to buy a decent spawner for token generation.

"Thank you, Master."

"For what?"

"Binding us, and freeing us from the underworld."

"Oh I thought you guys just got like I dunno created or something, not putting you in a servitude contract with me, well that's all fine. Works well enough anyway. Time for business."

"What do we need to do?" The one who asked was a young man who looked to be like 16 or so, I have no clue how such a young boy managed to get to the underworld or what's it called.  

"Well first I need to get all of your names, you will be my employees here."

"Em-ploy-eeeees?"

"Ah you might not know what they are, well... they are sort of servants that get paid and can do what they want after their work."

One of the littler ones perked up with a smart remark. "Isn't that just a normal servant?"

"I mean yes an no, you won't understand anyway so just think of yourselves as servants." 

The little one perked up again. "Yeah isn't that why you summoned us?"

"Alright enough with the questions, I will go over the rules your supposed to follow here."

" Number one; You are to work in your designated work areas that I assign to you, and at the end of the week I shall give you pay based on how you have worked. Number two;  Any troublemakers who attack you or other patrons are to be sent out, with force if needed." I crack my knuckles. "Number three; No swearing or using vulgar language as there may be children entering here." Everyone looked confused when I said that. "This place is to be for entertainment as that is always how I set my establishment out to be, so we will not be killing the residents to grow, it will be symbiotic relationship." I saw the cursed humans relax but the demons frowned. If I were to stereotype, they wanted to fight I guess, I'll leave them in charge of the monsters spawner. 

"Now what are your names?"

"We don't have names" said one of the cursed humans, "It's your job to name us."

Great I now have to think out good names for like 10 people, give me a second here.

"Paula,"

"Felix,"

"Elizabeth,"

"Zuzia,"

"Albert,"

"Marcus,"

"Seth,"

"Gaia,"

"Titan,"

"Andrew,"

"Salia."

I pointed to each one of the and for some reason just like I imagined there was a generic "HI MY NAME IS" Sign tag adhered to their clothing.

I now have around 8,750 DP left to check out everything else.
