Chapter 11: The Black Orc
«"So far, everything's going smoothly..."» I descended the staircase leading to the lower floor. At this rate, choosing the Spiral Dungeon had been the right decision. The man-eating orcs were the slow-moving type of monster. As long as I used 〈Evasion〉 to dodge their attacks and slip around behind them, all I had to do afterward was run. With my speed, there was no way a man-eating orc could catch me. Making my way through a dungeon without defeating a single enemy. It was a strategy that only worked because I was solo. If I had a slow tank or a mage with me, it would have been difficult to keep running away from the monsters. «"Right... I'd better drink an MP Recovery Potion while I have the chance."» I took the small bottle from my pocket, put it to my lips, and swallowed the liquid inside. In the Fossil Dungeon, which was filled almost entirely with wolves, I could progress without consuming any MP. But this dungeon wasn't like that. The man-eating orcs were s
Chapter 12 Obtaining The Book Of Mastery!
As usual, the reward area contained a teleportation circle for leaving the dungeon and a treasure chest. «"I seriously don't feel like I made it out alive..."» The moment I reached the reward area, I dropped heavily onto the floor. If I'd failed to lure the Black Orc's attack properly, if I'd misjudged the angle I was sent flying, if I'd mistimed 〈Evasion〉... any one of those mistakes would have cost me my life. It's honestly amazing that I managed to pull it off without making a single mistake. Even so... It was worth going through all of that. Thinking that, I reached out and placed my hand on the treasure chest. «"So this is the Spiral Dungeon's first-clear reward..."» Inside was a single book. I already knew its effect from my research, but I checked its status just to be sure. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ 〈Book of Mastery〉 Raises the user's highest stat by 10. (Applies to the entire party.) (Cannot be traded.) ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Yep. Just as I'd researched. The 〈Book of Mastery〉 was
Chapter 13 The Second Spiral Dungeon Run
The following day, I immediately set out to clear the Spiral Dungeon for the second time. Just having conquered it once before made progressing through it much smoother than last time. «"〈Evasion〉!"» Inside the boss room, I activated 〈Evasion〉 as the Black Orc sent me flying. Ohhh... Without defeating the boss, I passed through the wall once again and arrived safely in the reward area. «"Yes! The Spiral Dungeon gave me the first-clear reward again!"» The moment I saw the 〈Book of Mastery〉 inside the treasure chest, the words escaped my mouth in excitement. Normally, the 〈Book of Mastery〉 could only be obtained as a first-clear reward. But I alone could obtain it every single time I farmed the dungeon. Come to think of it... Wasn't what I was about to do even more efficient than getting stronger through normal leveling? Without wasting any time, I used the 〈Book of Mastery〉. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Agility has increased by 10. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ That's something good The next day, I ch
Chapter 14: Time To Take A Break
The next day, and the day after that, I continued farming the Spiral Dungeon. Gaining ten points of Agility every run was incredibly appealing. The problem was that I couldn't defeat a single monster, which meant I wasn't earning any money at all. Well, I still had plenty of money left from selling the 〈Sword of Departure〉, so I was fine for now. But sooner or later, I'd have to come up with another way. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Agility has increased by 10. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ One day, after checking my newly increased Agility, something occurred to me. «"I've still got plenty of stamina left."» Up until now, clearing a dungeon even once had always left me completely exhausted. That was why I could only manage one clear per day. But now... It looked like I could clear the Spiral Dungeon twice in a single day without any problems. That was probably proof that my Agility had been steadily increasing. From that day onward, I started farming it twice a day. ◆ At this point, I didn't even nee
Chapter 15 Showdown! The Giant Queen Ant
I found myself face-to-face with the Giant Queen Ant.If the information from the Adventurers' Guild was accurate, then for the average adventurer, the Giant Queen Ant was actually weaker than the Black Orc.But for me...There was a good chance the Giant Queen Ant would be far more troublesome.My objective wasn't to defeat it.It was to pass through the wall.With that in mind, the monster standing before me was an especially difficult opponent.Fwoosh!!Just as the Guild's information had described, the Giant Queen Ant spat a strand of web from its mouth.«"Whoa!"»I hastily dodged it.Seeing the web splatter onto the ground with a sticky splat, I couldn't help but shudder.The web was incredibly adhesive.If it wrapped around me, I'd be unable to move.And if that happened...I'd be dead for sure.Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!The Giant Queen Ant continued firing strands of web at me one after another.Each strand remained stuck to the floor where it landed.Naturally, i
Chapter 16: Spamming〈Evasion〉!
The Giant Queen Ant's web-spitting attacks. And the countless Baby Ants swarming toward me. I had to keep avoiding both. «"〈Evasion〉!!"» I'd been forced to rely on my skill to dodge the attacks. My natural evasive ability was no longer enough to avoid all of them. «"〈Evasion〉!!"» I activated my skill again, dodging both the incoming web and the Baby Ants that leaped at me. Seriously... How much longer did I have to keep dodging? According to the information I'd gathered from the Adventurers' Guild, the Giant Queen Ant should have one attack capable of smashing me into the wall. How could I make it use that attack? «"〈Evasion〉!!"» As I slipped past another barrage, I desperately searched for an answer. I couldn't use 〈Evasion〉 forever. Once my MP ran out, I'd have no way to dodge anymore. I had brought MP Recovery Potions just in case, but I couldn't count on using them. The moment I tried to drink one, the monsters would obviously seize the opportunity
Chapter 17: The Steel Ball
The notice posted on the Adventurers' Guild's bulletin board had described the Giant Queen Ant like this: «The Giant Queen Ant fires highly adhesive webs. When cornered, it lays eggs that hatch into Baby Ants. Finally, when delivering the finishing blow, the Giant Queen Ant compresses hardened steel webbing into a dense sphere before launching it at high speed. Even if blocked with a shield, the impact is powerful enough to send an adventurer flying, so extreme caution is advised.» It was after reading about those three attack methods that I decided to challenge the Planta Dungeon. If I blocked the steel ball with my shield, the impact would launch me straight into the wall. And then... I'd be able to pass through it. But when I actually fought the Giant Queen Ant, it did nothing but spit webs and send waves of Baby Ants after me. It showed absolutely no sign of using the steel ball that mattered most. «"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"» The Giant Queen Ant's piercing shriek split the
Chapter 18: Earning 60,000
The following day, I left home first thing in the morning and headed straight for the Planta Dungeon to begin farming it.«"Yeah, just as I thought. The path here doesn't seem to be a problem at all."»That was my impression as I leaped over one Giant Ant after another along the way.Compared to the man-eating orcs, progressing through a dungeon filled with nothing but Giant Ants was remarkably easy.The only real challenge was the boss room.And so, after several hours, I finally arrived at the entrance to the boss area.«"SKREEEEEEE!!"»The moment I stepped inside, the Giant Queen Ant greeted me with its shrill cry.For now, I simply dodged the webs it spat and circled around behind it.If I wasn't standing in this position, the steel ball wouldn't send me flying into the wall connected to the reward area.Now all that was left to do was...«"Aaah! I've gotten stuck in the web!"»Yeah...Even I thought my acting was terrible.But it should be convincing enough against a monster.I d
Chapter 19: Making Money & Raising My Agility
«"Waaah, I'm all tangled up in the web and can't move!"»Yeah...Even from an objective standpoint, my acting was terrible.I'd already fought the Giant Queen Ant countless times, yet my performance whenever I deliberately got caught in its web hadn't improved in the slightest.Even so, a monster that couldn't possibly judge the quality of human acting fired its steel ball at me without the slightest hesitation.«"〈Evasion〉!!"»I activated my skill, passed through the wall, and arrived safely in the reward area.«"I'm starting to get bored..."»I'd only completed the Planta Dungeon once today.But today marked my seventh day of farming it.It was only natural that it was starting to feel repetitive.«"Yeah... maybe I'll head to the Spiral Dungeon next."»Just because I'd decided to farm the Planta Dungeon didn't mean I couldn't visit other dungeons.A change of pace sounded nice.I'd head to the Spiral Dungeon and raise my Agility a little more.Of course, the Spiral Dungeon was consi
Chapter 20: Time To Buy A New Shield!
«"Elerete, I'm heading out."» After saying that to my little sister, who was still unconscious, I left the house. Normally, I'd head straight for a dungeon. But today, I wanted to buy a new shield, so my first destination was the weapon shop. «"I look like a complete suspicious person right now..."» It was probably because I was carrying a small fortune hidden beneath my clothes. I'd been acting strangely ever since I left the house, constantly glancing left and right as I walked. If someone stole all this money... I'd be finished. «"Alright, I'm here."» The first place I visited wasn't the weapon shop that sold shields. «"Welcome!"» A shop clerk greeted me with a smile. The store I'd entered was actually a tailor's shop. There was something I wanted to buy here before purchasing my shield. «"I think it suits you very well."» The clerk looked me over and smiled. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I had to admit... It looked pretty good. «"I'll
