The witch knew that she could change things.
Then, I think.
I wonder if the opposite is also true.



'Thank you very much for your visit. Children.

Sukuk's castle.

Audience room.

The calm voice of Queen Ulussukku reaches us from above.

The nine of us, who will turn fifteen this month, kneel down and hang our heads, suppressing the pounding of our hearts as we listen solemnly to her words.

'Those who challenge the dungeon,' he said. I will give you skills.

A clank, clank. From right to left. It must have been the Queen waving her big wand that she always carries. As if to cast a spell on us.
And then..,

'ooo ......'
'Oh ...... this'.

An audible marvel. I must have gained skills. And then a voice echoed in my brain.

Now I will be gifted with a skill. The skill of the gods, sent only to adventurers. I will descend to the lowest level of the dungeon and become the greatest adventurer. I promise!

I've learned to use a sword so far, so I'd prefer to use a warrior skill, but maybe I'll be gifted with a magic skill, or even a magic skill, but I'd rather not use a monk skill because it's too plain, but I'd like to use a physical enhancement skill that can be used for anything,

A voice rang out.



--Breathing.



.......
What's that?
Can I ask you one more time?

--Skills [Breathing]. The ability to breathe in and out.

No, I can still do it.
I'm doing it right now. Lung breathing.
I make a comment in my brain, but there is no further comment.

'I guess that's all there is to it. Then we are dismissed.
''Ha ha!''

Wait, wait, wait. I've only received [breath] .......

Even if I wanted to protest, I'm not even allowed to raise my head in front of JoOusama.

JoOusama's footsteps move away from me, leaving me in a hurry.
I was finally able to raise my head, but I was not allowed to speak at all, and the guards took me to the main gate with everyone who came with me, leaving the castle in a state of incomprehension.





In the queen's bedroom.

Queen URSKUK rested her back on the big sofa. Her skin is white and she has a beautiful, almost inhuman appearance. But she had a small, bushy tail on her buttocks and long ears sprouting out of her head. No, one of them is broken.

It is no wonder that this queen is a demigod and a demi-human. She is half rabbit goddess. Her sister should be pounding rice cakes on the moon.

'Ah, I'm tired. There were a lot of them this month.

The female aide standing beside him nods yes and hands him the tablet.

Nine persons were born in the eighth month. Here are the skills I have given you.
Why can't I choose which skills to give? It would be more interesting.
'It is the will of God.
I don't have the right to decide, do I? Yes, yes, I know. Bussu.

When the aide replied as usual, Queen Usamimi was also flustered as usual.
As the name suggests, Tenjin-sama is a god in the heavens. He is a great man.

JoOusama's finger slides over the tablet. And the letters went down smoothly. It was an act of God.

Let's see, what's this, [axe mastery], [silver treasure sniffing] ....... Oh, my. You've got a lot to offer this month, don't you?
'Last month, there was a child who received the [Blessing of the Witch] as well, wasn't there?

Here in the Kingdom of Sukuk, the land of dungeons.
Dungeons created by the old gods.
They are chock-full of gold, silver, and treasures.
But there are also many monsters.
Those who risk their lives, pride, and honor to challenge the dungeons are given unique skills at the age of fifteen.
A skill is something that raises one's fighting ability beyond human limits.
Such as the "mastery of the art of the axe" mentioned by Queen Usamimi.

Oh?

And then his finger, which had been scrolling through the tablet, stops.
I zoomed in with my thumb and forefinger, back out again, zoomed in again, and began to tremble.

'............', wow! What the hell! Is this okay?
'I'm glad you finally noticed.

He gets up as if he were jumping up and down, and shouts as he brings the tablet as close as he can to his aide.

Skill [Breathing]! This is how it looks now that the cloaking magic is on, but ......!
'Yes, its actually ...... [divine breath '
'Just breathe and level up! No, it's more than that. This is a divine skill! In time, just by blowing, you will be able to scatter the lives of your enemies, heal the mortal wounds of your allies, and achieve all kinds of other effects! It is truly the breath of God! Who is this child? Where's the boy? Where are you!



Sigh," sighed the aide.

'My queen. Our interference is forbidden.
'Mooooooooo! It's definitely going to be fun! Tenjin-sama no bakoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!'
'You'll be punished for saying such a thing.





I had no idea that such a conversation was taking place in the castle.

I, Rana Prata, who had been given the skill [Breathing], was walking at a leisurely pace through the castle town.

'--Hah ............'

I want you to leave me alone. My childhood dream of conquering a dungeon has been cut off.

--I wish it was an exploration game at least. ....... I could have joined some party as a sheikh. ....... What the heck is [breathing]? .......

'--Hah............'

He sighs loudly for the first of many times.
Then..,

'Hey, Rana! Breathing skill, Rana! I'm getting useless skills again!
'Go to the guild and get a status sheet! Skill [Breathing] -- can you breathe in and breathe out? I can do that kind of stuff! Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!''

''Gee ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Two people who were gifted with skills together. The big one is Carlos and the long one is Clay. They live close to each other and are the same age, so they have been involved with each other since they were little. He's a pain in the ass.

When I gave them a hard stare, they got a little scared.
But..,

'What the f*ck! You're not going to do it, are you? I've got the Axe Mastery! I'm going to be a warrior and run amok in the dungeon! I'm not like you with your wacky skills!
'I'm [Silver Treasure Sniffer]! I'm gonna find a lot of treasure chests!

.............
d*mn it, I'm not sorry.
I'm just running because these guys are so loud!

Oh, he got away!
''[Breathing] Yaro's getting away!
''Gee ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

d*mn it.
