17 I'm on my way to the third episode, Dungeon.




 
 Currently, I'm sitting in front of my grandpa and riding my horse.

 The horse he's riding is Grandpa's beloved horse and he's insanely fast!
 Normally it would take two days by carriage to get there in half a day.

 So yesterday I went back to my room and used my creative magic to build some stuff.

 I modified the equipment you gave me.
 It's made with a lot of magical stones Sebastian gave me.

<The Sky Shoes.
 I can run in the air.
 50% increase in speed for those equipped.
 Creator: Leons Forster

<Invisibility Cloak+.
 Not only does he use his magical powers to become invisible
 Block out your own magic, smell and presence.
 Equipping it halves all hits.
 Creator: Leons Forster

 They're both bad: ....
 You can run in the air: .... Not only that, but it's 50% faster: .....
 And transparent? .... They say it completely blocks their existence ....

 With this equipment, you'll never be beaten....
 Is my magic stone this great?

 And Elena's modification went like this.


 She can telepathize with her owner.
 It absorbs a large amount of its owner's magical power to enhance its sharpness and durability.
 The ability to do it increases as you level up.
 We have the ability to repair ourselves.
 Lv.1...Increases the owner's muscle strength by 50%.
 Creator: Leons Forster

 Oh my god, I've got a growth function, but 1.5 times the muscle strength at level 1 is a bad idea: .....

 Moreover, the creator became me and my name changed from Elena to Elena.
 Could it be that I modified it so it became something completely different?
 Is that why the creator is different?

 The other thing I did was to build something useful for the dungeon.
 I didn't want to use the magical stone Sebastian gave me, so I used a magical stone I bought at a materials store that I've only been using for about a year (which is already very powerful).

 You can see what I made here: .....

 It automatically records the path within a 10-meter radius of your location.
 Creator: Leons Forster

<Wana Terrace.
 As it floats into the air, it provides light for the user to
 A red light illuminates where the traps are.
 Creator: Leons Forster

<Water bottle.
 A water bottle that spits out water when you fill it with magic.
 Creator: Leons Forster

 I've built something to eliminate every dungeon hazard I can think of.
 Well, you'll be safe in a dungeon with it!

 I carry all of these in a backpack with awesome pockets .

 And when I put the equipment on, my stats look like this: ......

 mage

 I knew it was 1.5 times bigger: .....
 Also, I made a lot of stuff with my creation magic, so it seems to have improved.

<Creative magic Lv.4.
 You can use magic to create things you've imagined using magic.
 The higher the level, the more you can build.
 The more materials you have, the more you can build.
 Lv.4... can create magic up to level 5 as I've seen it before (but requires 10x the magic power).

 Somehow, I've been able to build magic: .....
 How is it possible to do this?
 Creation magic is bad: .....



 I was just thinking about that when my grandpa pointed in the direction of the forest.
"Oh, there's a monster coming.
 A demon? I can't find anything at all: .....?

Yeah, where? What are we going to do?

Of course I'm gonna beat him.

I knew it? Come to think of it, that's my first demon.
 I've never even seen a real demon in my life.

Well, let's see what's coming.
 How do you know a demon is approaching when you can't see it?

 And then an orc emerged from the nearby woods.
Ooh, that's lunch for today.

Do oaks taste good?

Yeah, it's a little hard, but it's good.

Heh, that'll be fun.

Well, let's stop and get something to eat.
 So the old man got off his horse as if nothing had happened.

I'll get my cooking gear out and so on, and you take care of the orcs.

What? Can I take him down?

I'll get you there in a second.

Okay, okay.
 Can you really blink and kill it?
 I'm going to try to get to the orcs, but they're bigger than I imagined and I'm starting to lose confidence in them: .....

 Well, my grandpa says it's okay, so if I give it my all, I'll probably be okay.

 therefore
Nice to meet you, Elena.

Don't be so scared of the orcs!

(Uh, shut up! (Because they look big and powerful.)

(You're still a child in that regard.)

She's just a kid. Well, nice to meet you!
 With that said, I'll pull Elena out.

 Then, all at once, the magic power is taken away by the sword.
 Oh, I haven't been given this much magic in a long time!
 And Elena, who had absorbed the magic, turned into an amazing radiance.

 Maybe the orc noticed that and thought I was spooked, and stopped moving.

 But as soon as I just held my stance, she immediately came at me.

 "Gmoaaa~!

 Huh? Orcs are moving really slow, aren't they?
 Orcs move so slow compared to Grandpa's movements that you're watching them in slow motion!
 And the way you hit me is too big and easy to avoid: .....

 I cut off the arm of the orc who had struck me while easily avoiding the blow.

 "Gmo~?

 The orcs were startled and fell back quickly.
 And I went after them and easily cut their heads off.

You see? It was instantaneous.

Are orcs this weak?
 I feel like an idiot for being so scared before we fought: ....

'No, you're just too strong.
 Grandpa said this matter-of-factly as he began to dismantle the orc as soon as possible.

''Am I that strong?''

'Yeah, I just think you're getting stronger again now that you've moved up a level, don't you?

Oh, really? We'll see.

 wise man

Great ..... I'm already at level 4.

''Well, it's not usually a demon that a level 1 can take down by itself.

'Heh, and how much does your status usually increase when you level up?'
 I think it's going up too quickly: ......



It's about 10 percent more than usual.

Heh, I see.

 With this in mind, let's look at the card again .
 I see, I guess the Misanga has turned 10% into 20% .

 Still, this is bad, especially with so many magic 0s omitted: .....
 And you're being a wise guy!

<Wise man.
 You'll get it when your magic exceeds 100,000.
 50% less magic needed for magic.

 Even though my magic power has increased, the amount of magic I need for magic has decreased a lot.
 If it was just fire or other normal attributes, I would be able to use a huge amount of magic: .....

What do you think, your status has gone up a lot!

Yeah, it's all good.

'Right, if you work out before you level up, you'll grow faster.

"Nah, I see. .....
 So I guess I've been working out too much: .....

'And this is the orc magic stone.
 He handed me a magical stone the same size as the one I usually see.

"Huh~ I didn't know magic stones could be taken like this!

Yeah. Did you learn a lot? Then we're going to be fed!

 Afterwards, we grilled the oak with salt and ate it.
 It tasted just like my grandfather said it would, but it was delicious.

 After we finished eating, we rode for two hours and finally arrived at the city we wanted to visit.

"Huh? I don't see anything that looks like a dungeon?
 As far as I can see, it looks like there are a lot of adventurers, but it's a perfectly normal city.

Yeah, that's because the dungeon here is underground, so you can't find anything but the entrance to the center of the city.

Oh, really? The dungeon in the basement?

It's just a huge dungeon, okay? The people who live in this city are usually the ones doing business with adventurers and adventurers.

It's an adventurer's town.

''That's right. The Adventurer's Guild here is the second largest in the country after the Imperial City headquarters.

The Guild?

Are you interested in the Guild? Only, Leo's just a kid, you can't register him yet.

Is Grandpa registered?

I did. When I defected to the Empire, I left.

Why?

When I defected, I came under Imperial jurisdiction and I had to give up.

I didn't know that happened.

I miss it now.

Are we going into the dungeon now?

'It's getting to be evening and we'll stay at the inn after we've explored the first floor just to try it out.

Yeah, okay.

 By the way, I left my horse outside the city.
 They're smart and strong enough to survive even if you leave them alone.

 Then I arrived at the entrance to the dungeon in the center of the city.

The entrance is bigger than I expected.

The inside of this place is just as big as the entrance.

How many levels of this dungeon are underground?

That's what we don't know, because no one else has yet to capture it.

'So how far has anyone been able to go at best?'

She was, what, like... I think it was around .40?

Wow, that's a lot of depth.

By the way, that record is Damien.

'Yeah. .... Your uncle is still awesome.

'Yeah, it was a mission when the king put a lot of effort into reducing the number of dungeons about ten years ago.

Why would you reduce it?
 With the vibe of this city, it's going to be an economic disaster if the dungeon goes away?

Every once in a while, a demon can spawn in a dungeon. When that happens, a lot of demons come out of the dungeon and cause a major disaster.

Sure, that's a lot of work.

'So I tried to crush it, but in the end, the only dungeon I was able to traverse was the tower dungeon.

What floor was the dungeon in the tower?

You said you were on the 40th floor?

40th floor. .... You're the uncle.

Oh, I'm not gonna let you down, okay?

What?
 What's going on?

"I've trudged through the Demon King's 50-story dungeon!

'That's great. If it's 50 in the Demon King's dungeon, then this dungeon must be about 50.

I don't know. The older the dungeon, the bigger the dungeon, the older it is.

How old is this one?

I don't know. We're going in for now.



 As soon as I entered the dungeon, I took out my wannatteras.
 Thanks to Wannatteras, I was able to see better in the dimly lit dungeon with just the right amount of light.

"This light is useful.

I know. I made it yesterday.

You've learned to use your creative magic pretty well already, haven't you?

Yeah, I'm getting better at building magic.

Well, magic? What do you mean?

Yeah. Oh, look, the goblins are here, so I'll show them to you as soon as I can.

 One of the goblins is running up to you, but it's not at all as powerful as the Orcs from earlier: .....

"Go with fire magic!
 I created fire magic and shot at the goblins.
 Huh? That went a lot easier than I thought it would, huh?

 And my fire magic hit the goblin cleanly, turning him black in an instant.

''Oh come on, you can really do that ..... It's foul to build magic with magic.

You can do it, so why not?

Yeah... Yeah.

 As we talked about it, the goblin corpse turned to light and then disappeared.
 And there was a knife.

Oh, the drop.

Oh, you know what?

Mm-hm. Well, I read about it in a book once.

'Well, that's what happens to dead demons in dungeons for some reason.

Why is this happening to me?

It's all about getting people together, and I hear the dungeon master does it.

Bait.

Well, I guess that's about it. By the way, if you're a boss or a demon in the back, there's a regular drop and a rare drop.

What is that? I need a rare drop!

If you're lucky, you'll get it.

That will be fun.
 I'm the only one with any kind of luck.

Yeah, well, I think we'll call it a night and stay at the inn.

Yes, sir.

Also, from tomorrow, we're going to take the challenge seriously and trudge through it, okay?

You can't do that.
 Because your uncle couldn't do it, you know?

That's not true. I won't leave the dungeon until I step on it from tomorrow!

'What? But what about food?

'I've got six months' worth of space storage, so no worries.

'Wow, you're serious!'

So get some sleep.

Yes?
 Seriously: .....
 Can you get through a dungeon with just the two of you?

 While I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I'm getting a little scared. ......
