After a few more steps, Kazuma and Zoukar saw a bright gleam shining through a small hole. This light suddenly delighted them since it was certain that they had found the exit from this dungeon. Their never-ending night was about to reach its conclusion.Zoukar and Kazuma rushed to the exit and, at last, leaped out of the dungeon. The sudden gleam enshrouded their vision and almost made them blind since they spent a lot of time in darkness, and this sudden shine would strike their eyes.Kazuma scrunched his eyes and closed them to adjust his vision for these new surroundings. He even tried to shield his eyes with his arms, but to his disappointment, they were not big enough to support him.Even then, after a few moments, he opened his eyes and found them adapted to the flash before him. The moment his vision seemed crystal clear, he was astonished by the scene before him and even baffled to some extent.Kazuma found him and Zoukar in a green, dark forest with a thick canopy of leaves
Kazuma directed the path to Zoukar towards the watery sound he heard a while ago. He hovered above the surface and flew all the way while concentrating on the sound ahead. The relieved expression on his face was evident since now Zoukar may think Kazuma was a worthwhile profit for him.Both of them marched forward while being cautious since they could sense some slight presence of someone around peering at them. Although none of them could feel any threat from this being, they still moved alarmed.After a few more steps, the fluid-moving sound enhanced and Kazuma's eyes widen from the picturesque scenario before his eyes. Nature's beauty captivated him since he witnessed such a scene after a long time surviving in the pitched black dungeon.There was a small water stream glittering on the surface due to sunshine falling and reflecting back from its crystal clear water. Kazuma had never seen such a water source in his life while living back on earth.This sort of clear water source cou
The loud ringing of a bell rang again, marking the end of the fifth period of school. With the echo of that noise, some rumbling began in the surroundings since lunch usually lines up after that said term.Something similar to school bustlings could be heard in Section B of high school's second-year classroom. Even though the math teacher was present before them, the students stood from their respective seats and gossiped.The teacher snorted and glanced at the students while going with a bitter expression. From the scene, one could infer his respect was low or the students had that kind of behavior with every teacher on their school staff.Among those cheery and haughty students, there was one with the least presence, sitting in the last seat of the last row. The sudden bell startled him awake from his deep dream world. His black hair and ordinary face had the least charm one could have.In those groups of students in the classroom, he belonged to no one. One could even say nobody re
In never-ending darkness, his consciousness hovered around. Nothing other than loneliness and pitch-black surroundings could be seen. "Did I die due to my blunder of half entering the circle? If I knew such a thing could happen, I would rather not have stepped even half inside the magic circle," he thought inwardly. In that never-ending darkness, a bright gleam shone from a bit far from his current position. That shine attracted him while captivating his consciousness. Kazuma had no other option but to check out that thing. "At least let me see what that thing is! What could be worse than death for my consciousness living in this nothingness?" he pondered inwardly. Gradually, he approached that brightness and that gleam blinded him for a while as he lost his vision. That moment felt like another moment of darkness for him until some chants entered his ears. "Oh! My Lord, please accept my offering of a worthy soul for my heed [Soul Speaker]." Kazuma opened his eyes to find himself
After learning the name of that old man, Kazuma learned some more things from the events that occurred until now. First, that man’s name was Zoukar the Mad, which somewhat gives justice to his personality.Another thing he contemplated was his arrival in a strange world where magic exists and some weird people wield them. When that magic circle activated in his classroom, Kazuma, due to his blunder, lost his soul to nothingness, from where this capable and senile black magician caught him and transmitted his soul to a lifeless animal.His enslavement was another subject to drive. However, he tried to feign ignorance towards that thing since that's what he usually did all his life. To live and learn, he had to obey the magician until he was capable enough to achieve freedom.Now the question arose as to where the hell was in the cave that the old man summoned him to. Other than darkness and some weird rumblings after slight periods, he could infer nothing from that place."Can you invo
That revelation slipped the ground underneath Kazuma's feet. The dungeon, a topic among fantasy-loving teens, is used in all fantasy novels or webtoons. A place where monsters stroll around and adventurers eliminate them for some rewards. "Is this the same dungeon I'm thinking of?" Kazuma sweated profusely. Although he couldn't ask for the magician's knowledge through words, he tried to crawl around and jump to attract attention towards him.Unfortunately, his actions had the opposite effect on the magician. He scowled and yelled at him, annoyed with his ignorant actions. He thought Kazuma was an ordinary beast and was delighted to live once again with some skill.His nickname 'The Mad' has some reality and meaning behind it!Furthermore, he even kicked Kazuma and activated some restraint magic on his soul, marking the beginning of a striking pain in his head. That pain somehow tried to split apart his existence."No! Stop it, you bastard. I get it! I get it!" Kazuma screamed in his
The bustling sounds came a lot closer to Kazuma and Zoukar, but Zoukar wasn't the one to feel panicked or frightened; it was Kazuma who had his brows wet. He squinted his eyes to get a closer look at the incoming enemies.Two massive silhouettes appeared out of nowhere as he focused his gaze. Their aura and crackling sounds were more explicit than before. Now the vague rumbling was crystal clear.Furthermore, their silhouette had lots of giant limbs with numerous jointed attachments and tentacles. Those creatures stepped forward. They looked like black giant ants with long tentacles and sharp teeth, which freaked Kazuma out of his wits.Their large pointed teeth could easily grind him, and their long legs could serve as a cage to catch small creatures. They could easily bind and gnash any small being at their leisure."Wh-what the hell are those damn scary ants? Am I supposed to fight them with this small ass body?" Kazuma stuttered in his head.His brows became wet as he frowned with
Kazuma wriggled and squirmed around, slithering his way through their appendages. He crept behind them and took a deep breath before the ants could again try to trample him. He attempted to concentrate on his back while narrowly dodging their pounding strikes.The ants crackled together as if talking their way to each other. Those sounds clutter Kazuma's head, forcing him to lose focus. Gradually, he had to concentrate on only defending rather than flying.However, the ants strategized a way to encircle him and jumped around, trapping Kazuma in between the two of them. Their enormous legs resembled a large cage, built for rhinos or something.Kazuma swallowed as his mouth dried due to fear. Now all his progress has been halted by those giant beings. Continuing down Kazuma's path, they again crackled in loud noises, as if mocking the tiny reptile to crawl and beg for its life.Meanwhile, Kazuma felt his head blank in those bustles. His life was nearing its end, whether he would beg or
