Chapter 4

Chapter 2

Overview

This chapter is an in-universe newsletter recap written by Princess Donut for her fanclub, summarizing events from the sixth and seventh floors leading up to the eighth floor. She covers the party's major victories, losses, and their ascension to ninth-floor warlords via the Faction Wars, while also promoting her fanclub tiers and merchandise.

Summary

Princess Donut, writing as GC, BWR, NW Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk, provides a comprehensive recap of the sixth and seventh floors for her official fanclub newsletter. On the sixth floor, Carl temporarily surrendered the Gate of the Feral Gods to Orren, resulting in recruitment of Sledgie and three rock bodyguards for the next three floors. Princess Donut obtained a Legendary Diva class allowing spell-casting through song. Hunters led by Vrah and her mother Diwata (a god) pursued the party; Katia left to hunt her player-killer ex-best friend Eva and succeeded in killing her. The party learned of an upcoming Butcher's Masquerade party and pet show at the high elf castle led by Queen Imogen. The seventh floor involved major storylines reaching climax: Signet killed herself while defeating Queen Imogen to reclaim her crown, Mongo and Kiwi defeated Vrah, and Princess Donut killed Vrah's mother with her Laundry Day spell. Carl defeated the last hunter. The party used fanclub funds to purchase a Faction Wars spot and successfully teleported the elf castle to the ninth floor with Signet's followers, Kiwi, Big Tina, changelings, and Ferdinand, establishing themselves as ninth-floor warlords. Notable deaths included Firas, Gideon, Gwendolyn Duet, a mushroom singer, and the Popov brothers (who were respawned as babies and removed from the game). A scandal occurred when crawler Tserendolgor fraudulently changed the pet show voting ballot, stealing Mongo's crown and giving it to her pet Garret. Princess Donut topped the crawler rankings after her talent show performance. Prepotente unexpectedly broke the normal floor progression, sending the party directly from floor six to floor eight.
