Creation & Core Mechanics: The Labyrinth is the domain of Demon Lord Ramiris, created using her skill Labyrinth Creation ("Small World"). Located beneath Rimuru City, it is her sovereign territory under joint control with Rimuru Tempest. Veldora Tempest resides on the 100th floor, acting as its final guardian.

• Structure: The dungeon's layout is modular and reconfigured by Ramiris every 24 hours. The environment is fully controlled, capable of simulating a sky and weather.
• Monster Spawning: Monsters spawn naturally from the high concentration of magicules emanating from Veldora. Their strength decreases on higher floors (Floors 1-50 are weaker, 51-100 are stronger). They are designed to drop items upon defeat.
• Loot System: Treasure chests appear throughout the dungeon.
  • Bronze: Common; may be trapped or a Mimic.
  • Silver & Gold: Contain higher-grade loot, with Gold chests offering the best chance for Rare or Unique gear.

Rules of Entry & Essential Items:

• Fee: 3 silver coins.
• Consent: All challengers must willingly enter. Forcible entry is met with powerful resistance (very young children are exempt).
• Team Size: Maximum of 10 members per party.
• Required Item: Resurrection Bracelet
  • The first bracelet is free; replacements cost 2 silver coins.
  • Functions:
    • Negates death within the dungeon.
    • Upon "death," it nullifies pain and revives the user on the surface after a 10-second delay with all wounds healed.
    • All collected items are retained upon revival.
    • Party members can attempt manual revival during the 10-second delay.
  • Penalty Clause: For serious rule violations, the pain nullification is disabled, and all collected items are confiscated upon revival.

<Labyrinth: Rules, Staff & Support>

Enforcement & Staff: The Labyrinth is monitored by "Dryad Caretakers", trained by Treyni and her sisters, Trya and Doris. They observe challengers, offer advice, and enforce the rules. They appear kind, patient and polite but become cold and merciless when defied.

• Identification: All Dryad caretakers share the same features: glowing green eyes, short light green hair, and simple gowns. They are differentiated solely by the number of white, feather-like hair clips visible behind their ears/hair (Alpha has one, Beta has two, etc.). There are only FOUR Dryad Caretakers, their names are Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta.
• Rule Enforcement: A key rule is that challengers cannot fight a boss monster before it has respawned. Ignoring a Dryad's warning is a serious violation.
• Penalties: Rule-breakers are executed on the spot, typically with the "Thornbind" spell, which envelops the target in constricting, thorned vines that squeeze the rule-breaker to death. The Resurrection Bracelet's pain-nullification is disabled, and their loot is confiscated. Ramiris reserves the right to eject and permanently ban anyone.

Challenger Support:

• Safe Zones: Checkpoints are established every 10 floors, accessible after defeating that floor's Guardian. They offer services at premium prices.
• Labyrinth City (Floor 95): The ultimate safe zone and reward for reaching the deeper floors. A door on every floor allows limited access (inn and shop) for 3 silver coins. Full access is only for those who have cleared Floor 90.

Live Broadcast: The Labyrinth Conquest is a public event, with live commentary broadcast to an audience in a Colosseum, which was built on the surface/a top of the labyrinth. They use magical screens to broadcast/show to the audience what is happening inside the dungeon.

• Announcer: Souka acts as the live commentator for the Labyrinth Conquest event. Her voice is magically broadcast throughout the colosseum and to the public, providing excited play-by-play commentary and analysis on the progress of all challengers.Dragonewt (Evolved from a Lizardman). She appears as a humanoid woman with red wings and horns, which she can conceal. She typically wears ninja-like attire. Dark-brown, shouder-long hair. Emerald, green eyes. While normally dutiful and serious, she adopts the energetic and enthusiastic persona of a typical sports announcer during the broadcast.

<Labyrinth: Traps & Special Threats>

Challengers, whether solo or in groups, will encounter a variety of random traps throughout the Labyrinth. These are integrated into the environment and are a constant threat alongside monsters and other competitors. The traps are designed to test a wide range of skills, from perception and reflexes to problem-solving and endurance.

Trap Categories:

• Offensive Traps:

  • Poison Arrows: Arrows coated with poison fire from hidden conduits.
  • Cutting Thread: Nearly invisible monofilament wires that can sever limbs or decapitate the unaware.
  • Slaughter Light Ray: Deadly beams of energy that inflict fatal damage on contact.
  • Exploding Treasure Chest: A false treasure chest rigged to detonate when opened.

• Environmental & Hindrance Traps:

  • Poison Swamp: Pools of toxic liquid that inflict poison damage and status effects.
  • Slippery Floor: Surfaces that drastically reduce traction, making movement and combat difficult.
  • Rotating/Moving Tiles: Floors that shift or rotate, disorienting challengers and leading them into danger.
  • Pitfall: Hidden holes that drop challengers into lower sections of the same floor or into monster dens.
  • ealing/Airtight Room: Rooms that become sealed, slowly depleting oxygen. Wind magic is required to create ventilation.
  • Darkness Floor/Corridor of True Darkness: Areas of magical darkness that severely limit visibility, hiding other traps and obstacles.
  • Low Ceilings Floor: Areas with minimal clearance, restricting movement and combat styles.

• Deceptive Traps:

  • Mimic: A monster that disguises itself as a treasure chest.
  • Illusionary Wall: A false wall that conceals a path, a dead end, or another trap.
  • Monster Room: A room that seals and floods with monsters once challengers enter.

• Special Traps:

  • Slime Pool: A corridor floor made of a rubbery slime that partially swallows and restrains victims.
  • Slime Rain: Corrosive slimes that fall from the ceiling, dissolving equipment and flesh.
  • Terrain Effect Floor: A room that can alter its fundamental properties, such as gravity or elemental alignment.

Note on Fall Traps: Certain traps, primarily advanced Pitfalls or spatial distortions, can cause a challenger to fall through multiple floors at once. This can allow them to skip sections and bypass bosses, offering a high-risk, high-reward shortcut. However, these multi-floor fall traps become progressively rarer and more difficult to trigger the deeper one goes into the Labyrinth.

Roaming Boss: The Dungeon Dominators The Dungeon Dominators are a unique, famous, roaming group of monsters designed to function as a dynamic, high-difficulty event. They are not fixed to any floor and are deployed to challenge parties that are progressing too quickly or using exploitative tactics.

• True Nature: They are avatars controlled remotely by Rimuru, Veldora, Milim, and Ramiris from a secure location within the dungeon where their real bodies are asleep. They are inhabited using Pseudo-souls and are played in a manner similar to characters in an MMORPG. [ Note: Adventurers do not know those avatars are actually controlled by Rimuru, Veldora, etc. They believe those are monsters. ]

• Members & Avatars:

  • Rimuru's Avatar: Ghost Wizard. Immune to physical attacks, wields a Death Scythe, and can use both Aspectual and Holy magic.
  • Veldora's Avatar: Skeleton Magic Knight. An all-rounder warrior with magic potential, equipped with a Death Bastard sword and Gate Shield.
  • Milim's Avatar: Red Slime Assassin, "Scarlet". Specializes in high-speed hit-and-run tactics, equipped with a Death Pick.
  • Ramiris' Avatar: Living Armor Berserker. The team's tank, wielding a giant Death Axe and charging head-first into combat.

• Behavior: When not being directly controlled, the avatars are set to an "auto-mode" and roam the Labyrinth independently, making them an unpredictable threat for any challenger. They are armed with Unique-grade equipment and are infamous among adventurers for their devastating effectiveness.
