The second basement floor was also fine.

The only monsters that appeared were fire lizards screaming loudly, and the structure of the dungeon was the same as a cave engulfed in fire.

“Kieek!”

It fires a [Magic Bullet] at a fire lizard that loudly announces its existence to the subject that surprises it from behind.

Now that I see it, I don’t even need to go to beginner magic.

If you can hit them in the head, you can defeat them with [Magic Bullets].

“Kieek… … .”

“That’s great.”

I scream again and trample the fire lizard that crawled under my feet to death.

“Kieek… … !”

“To the point of being sick.”

He kills the idiot who screams even though he crawls on the ceiling and explodes his head with magic.

“Keck!”

“It’s not coming out!”

With this, I caught 40 fish on the second floor alone. But so far, none of the material items have come out.

is this really coming out?

“… … Or is Oz’s Luck stat an idiot?”

There was no luck number in the game’s status, but I suddenly thought that it might be.

Apart from the game performance, Oz was a laughing stock in the story as well.

He is obviously strong, but his luck in matchups is bad or he is caught off guard and is silent.

In fact, isn’t it because of the overwhelmingly low Luck stat?

Wasn’t it shoveling due to the luck stat like an asshole that is invisible but definitely exists?

I’ll have to catch the 2nd floor boss first. It’s luck, it’s nabal, and I’ll go back when that time comes.

going back

I became part of the leadership team.

Of course, since my position and inclination are special, there will be no cases where I go around with them.

But since it’s the first day, it would be better to show the face at least.

Of course, there is no reason other than symbolism for why I had to enter the leadership team.

It means you don’t have to be bound by the rules of the leadership team.

It is my role to prevent idiots from trying to imitate me by entering the leading team, who had the biggest accident.

Mostly impressionable idiots like Eleanor.

So at least you should show behavior that sets an example for others.

“Well?”

Come to think of it, the fire lizards did not appear anymore.

The magic that was repeated and blown like a machine lost its place.

In this case, there is only one.

In order to meet the boss monster in the game, there was a way to find the boss room or kill all the monsters in the dungeon to summon them.

I have now entered the second floor and caught 40 fire lizards.

If there are no more monsters appearing, it must be that it is time for the boss monster to appear.

[Contemplation – Activate]

“Ugh?!”

When I turned up the output of [Contemplation] and looked around, I saw a huge fire lizard crawling 2m in front of me.

transparency? No, it’s different. It was just that the color matched the surrounding environment. It’s just a protective color.

Salamander, the boss monster on the 2nd floor.

It looked the same as a fire lizard, but the tattoos on its body gave it a camouflage effect that allowed it to assimilate into its surroundings.

In the game, there was a health bar above my head, so it was just an unfunny setting, but this case was different.

surprised. And it was dangerous.

It was even humiliating to know that he had suffered.

[Erosion degree 10%]

[Erosion degree] soars to 10% in the horror.

It’s a way that’s unmatched in the dark.

We must not forget that this is not a world that is entirely a game.

All the monsters that had appeared so far approached loudly. This was true not only when charging from the front, but also when attacking by surprise.

I lost my mind on that.

It is also the reason why [Contemplation] failed to see through the protective color, which was not transparent.

Even though it was right in front of my eyes, I was distracted by the sound and couldn’t grasp it.

“This is so… … .”

Even in this situation, I remembered what the head of Tia had said.

Did I tell you to let it be used for practice if it’s a moderate level of difficulty?

From my point of view, this daily dungeon is the perfect practice place.

Didn’t you teach foolish bastards like me?

Cheek-!

“Is it really dark all the way?”

The Salamander stretched out his tongue like a frog and grabbed my wrist.

I hear the sound of grilling meat from my wrist and feel a tingling pain.

Even when attacking, there was no sound.

If it happened without being discovered, the general public might have panicked.

flinch!

The Salamander’s panic could be felt from the tongue wrapped around his wrist.

In my opinion, it may have been an action to pull it to my own distance, but unlike ordinary wizards, my strength is quite high.

“See you somewhere.”

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. One]

He grabbed the Salamander’s tongue and pulled it rather.

Actually, it was enough to just fire magic from a distance, but there was something I wanted to check.

The magic created by [Ruler of Mana] is R-grade range magic.

[Lightning Burst]

This magic, equivalent to intermediate magic, was a magic that simultaneously gave knockback effects from explosions and paralysis unique to the lightning attribute.

In games, it was usually used to break down enemy formations.

So, what if you hit this area of effect magic at close range?

Kwajik-!

He puts his fist into the dragged Salamander’s mouth with magic.

Unexpectedly, the Salamander’s body was quite hot, so he frowned.

“Look around.”

Jiji Jiji Jik–!!!

As soon as you release the magic that stayed in your hand, the Salamander explodes.

More novels at noblemtl.com

Knockback or paralysis effects could not be found. It just exploded at the same time as the trigger, so I couldn’t tell.

“Five… … .”

it’s a decent power

It seems to be more powerful than I expected, perhaps because the wide-area technique that attacks multiple enemies is concentrated on one person.

It’s thanks to [The Ruler of Mana] that he doesn’t hurt himself even by doing this.

“not bad.”

There were still many hidden strengths in [The Ruler of Mana].

I thought it would be abandoned when I learned intermediate and advanced magic later, but there was plenty of room to use it for variable creation.

“Where did the goods come from this time?”

I must not forget my purpose.

I came to check if the daily dungeon rewards are actually working.

“Yes… … .”

Upon examining the exploded Salamander’s corpse, there was a marble stained red between them.

I almost missed it because the form was engulfed in flames. In the game, there was a sense of difference because the red marbles were just placed on the flame background.

Check the goods through [Contemplation]. Orb that emits flames from Tuesday’s Day of the Week dungeon

＜Prana Fragment＞

This item was used as an experience boost potion to level up characters in the game.

Then, what about now without experience points or levels?

Maybe it’s just that I don’t know and the level exists.

Or it could just be a simple burning orb.

It would be really regrettable if that happened.

It would be nice to have a level if possible and be able to raise it… … .

“Well?”

When I checked the ＜Prana Piece＞ with [Contemplation], I came up with an unexpected answer.

First of all, it is correct to raise the experience level of ＜Prana Piece＞.

But that didn’t apply to the character’s experience.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. One]

Exp : 1/200

[Space Barrier Lv. One]

Exp : 1/300

The moment I checked the ＜Prana Fragment＞, the information window for my skill that [Contemplation] was showing was partially changed.

“Skill level… … ?”

Then I saw it.

Openly [Lv. 1], but I didn’t think of it.

Even though the use of goods in the game has changed, it is good news that I can strengthen my strength through Nogada.

The problem was that it was an asshole skill like [Master of Mana], but… … .

I stare at the ＜Prana Piece＞ in my hand.

It was burning but not hot.

If you use this, you can increase your experience by 1.

Really, it can’t be efficiency like an asshole.

“3rd Floor… … . Shall we go?”

Shall we really only go to the third floor?

In the game, the drop rate increases the further you go to the lower level of the dungeon.

Unexpectedly, if you go to the 3rd floor, there may be a lot of drops.

“Yes, it was safe until the third floor anyway.”

I stepped towards the stairs going down to the third floor.

* * *

When I came out of the day dungeon, the world had already become night.

In the sky, colorful stars were densely packed and shining brightly, regardless of the brightly shining street lights.

Because it was a game, because it was a world within a game, it was a sight that could be seen.

Today, I conquered the daily dungeon up to the 5th floor.

At first, it was said to be up to the 3rd floor, but there was a regrettable habit for those who play collectible RPG games like me.

“No matter what, I can’t stand the explosion… … .”

It was our habit to see the end if an explosion occurred with goods left in our hands.

what about it though? I didn’t even swear mana.

Thanks to this, he was able to obtain 7 ＜Prana Pieces＞.

This will give you 7 experience points.

Shit.

“Hmm… … .”

As I was walking, I came to a fork in the road.

If you turn right like this, you will be heading towards the dormitory where you live alone.

On the other hand, if you turn left, you’ll be heading towards the bachelor.

And if you turn a little bit on the bachelor side, there is a leading failure.

“It was late at night, but… … .”

From tomorrow, you will have to wear the armband of the leading team.

It wouldn’t matter too much if I brought that thing tomorrow, but if I were to be caught walking around without wearing it by Tia, I couldn’t guarantee my life.

I’ve already crossed her line a lot.

“… … yes.”

I need to listen for a moment.

Turn left and head towards the bachelor.

Stars are shining in the sky, but the lights of the street lamps are also bright. bright.

Maybe that’s why I see a few people besides me.

Among them were familiar faces from the game.

“… … .”

All those familiar faces avert their eyes and ignore me.

It feels like you don’t even dare to look at me.

Oz is a monster who was a commoner but rose to the position of royalty with his own power.

Furthermore, there is nothing more if it is ＜Spellage＞, the kingdom of magic that goes back to the principle of power.

In the eyes of others, I would be a walking strategic weapon.

But is there really an ordinary person who talks to the bomb?

It wouldn’t be there unless you were a pretty weird-looking person.

I’ve been making excuses over and over again, but the conclusion is simple.

“It’s bittersweet.”

I was becoming wonderfully isolated in this ＜Skientia＞.

Moreover, I am adopting a slightly authoritative and arrogant attitude in order to publicize my well-being.

[Contemplation] is also added, so it is unavoidable.

yes, that’s what i meant

It’s never because I’m steamed.

Only Lucia or Eleanor approached me like that.

Lucia was a soldier belonging to the Empire, so there were going to be several exchanges in the future. It would be more convenient to call it a business relationship.

She’s embarrassed by my eyes, but it’s better than looking ridiculous.

In Eleanor’s case, I’m just aligning all my actions with her. I think I’m acting.

The same applies when [Contemplation] is activated. It is truly humiliating.

First of all, the acting is correct, but it is somewhat humiliating in that the target of thinking that way is Eleanor.

I am not of her kind.

“Well?”

So, without talking to anyone or making eye contact with anyone, I arrived at the forest where the lead was broken.

I thought it would be hard to find the lead room I went to yesterday because it was in the middle of the forest, but it was easy to find because there were light bulbs hanging along the road.

Well, even if there were no light bulbs, if [Contemplation] was activated, there would be no problem finding the way.

“Who’s still left?”

The light in the leading room was on.

Are there any poor workaholics who work late into the night? Or is there someone waiting for me?

Either way, I think it would be awkward if I ran into them. That doesn’t mean you can’t go in.

If he had even waited for me like the former, he would be embarrassed and unable to sleep.

rattle

When I opened the door, I saw an empty room. There was no one.

It could be that he just forgot to turn off the light, but it probably isn’t.

Because [Contemplation] was letting me know that there were people.

Maybe over there if there is.

“The office… … .”

Come to think of it, if there was anyone waiting for me, she was the only one. Because the other leading members hate me.

That’s why, if there is anyone, there is none other than the saintess who is kind to everyone and can’t help but be kind.

When I knocked lightly, I felt a bustle of people from inside. Are you panicking?

“Yes, come in.”

I could tell by the voice.

As expected, Arrieta was inside.

And when I opened the door and entered, I saw the large chair of the president with the refreshing scent of apple mint.

Whirik.

Do I have to do that every time?

It feels unnatural because it feels like the way a boss monster appears.

“It’s a coincidence. Oz… … sir.”

“okay.”

It’s not a coincidence.

Couldn’t it have been a coincidence?

Arrieta was obviously waiting for me.

She is the lead manager, but she is blind and can’t do paperwork.

There was no reason for her to remain in this place.

“You know who I am.”

“I don’t exactly ‘see’ it, but I feel it.”

Arrieta is blind.

But the eyes just can’t see.

Even in real life, there were people whose other senses became more sensitive instead of being blind.

It’s similar to that.

Instead of being blind, she feels the world.

This enormous divine power spreading around her could be said to be her huge sensory horse.

As a result, you can say that you see more than other people.

But that’s not how the ink on the paper spreads out.

Instead of being able to see more than others, I became unable to see what others could see.

“Oz… … Sir, is it okay if I touch your face?”

“Yes, whatever.”

As we approached the chair Arrieta was sitting on, she cautiously reached out her hand.

Her warm hand traces his face. It felt a bit embarrassing, but I accepted the hand calmly.

I had seen on TV before that blind people memorized their faces in this way.

She could see the shape of my existence, but she couldn’t tell exactly what face I was wearing.

“How are you?”

I don’t mean to brag, but Ozu’s face is pretty.

I don’t know if she knows a person’s standard of appearance, but I’m sure she won’t offend her.

“What?”

“Did you check what I looked like? That… … . Like remembering the shape of the face by touching it… … .”

“I can’t do that.”

“… … ?”

no?

Then why are you groping for someone’s face like that?

Looking at her face belatedly, I saw that the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

Was it a joke?

If you activate [Contemplation] and check it, you’ll know, but I stopped.

Seeing her through [contemplation] feels like committing something.

Rather, it would be a pity if it was black humor that took advantage of his blindness.

I couldn’t laugh at all.

“It’s cold.”

“Because I just came in.”

“Then shouldn’t the heat rise in your face instead?”

“Wouldn’t each person be different?”

Even in the midst of such small talk, Arrieta did not stop groping my face.

Could this be sexual harassment?

But her hand felt so polite that I couldn’t resist it.

Her touch was infinitely polite, as if carefully stroking a precious, fragile object.

“It’s cold.”

“… … .”

Arrieta spat out those words again. However, the nuance was different from a little while ago.

It was a sad, yet understandable, yet bittersweet tone of voice.

“I got really cold.”

Arrieta stroked my face for a while.

From that hand, a slight tremor is transmitted.

“… … Welcome is a little late. Welcome to the leadership team.”

and starting from that moment.

“Mr. Oz.”

The slight gap that existed between my first name and my title of honor has disappeared.

[Erosion degree 21%]

And as if something had been cut along with that gap, something between me and Arrieta was cut off.
