5-5-the only light




 I woke up.
 Slowly, I picked myself up and stood up.
 There was a small bottle and its lid lying at my feet.

'Well that's what I thought.

 Apparently, I didn't die.
 The owner of that voice wasn't trying to kill me.
 Then I suddenly realized something.
 Somehow.
 Somehow, though, I feel less afraid than before.
 My mind and body are lighter, and I can even see the darkness rather better.
 It seems that your eyes have gotten used to it.

 I pick up the torch and check to see if there's anything wrong with the area.

'Come to think of it, I haven't opened it yet.

 There was one more box left.
 He put his hand on the box and gently opened it.
 But that was a mistake.

''Hmm...'' he was completely caught off guard. ''Ugh, whoa!''

 The box suddenly jumped at him, emitting a creepy sound.

''Whoa!''

 I get eaten.
 The box bit my arm.
 That's not the same as being bitten by my dog.
 It sinks its fangs into my skin, trying to make sure I take the meat with me.

 I was bitten by my flesh.
 A lot of blood is dripping down my left arm.
 They also took the sleeve of my uniform.

''Ha ... ha ... ha ...''

 How could it not hurt?
 But the sensation was taken away by the monster in front of me, flesh by flesh.

 The countless fangs that grew out of the mouth of the treasure chest.
 The long, slender legs that are uncomfortable no matter how you think about it.
 The most disgusting thing is its long tongue.

 I turned my back on it and ran for cover.
 I just kept running mindlessly down the narrow passage.







Heal!

 This is what's holding me up now.
 The small light green waves emanating from my palms were healing the wound.

'f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!'

 The wound was not completely healed in one go, and Healing (Heal) was applied to the wound repeatedly.
 There is not much magic power left.

''It's.......over.

 And I know.
 This is where it ends.
 There's no way I, who can only use 《Heal》, could resist a monster like that.
 I don't even know how many more times I can use it.
 This wound alone is all that's left.
 There's no guarantee that I'll be able to get hurt again and heal in the same way.

What do you want me to do... hmm?

 Then I noticed something.
In the status column, I saw the words "Unique Skill: Vengeance God's Prank".

"What is this?

 I remembered the voice from earlier.
 It was the voice telling me to drink that evil liquid.
 I checked the status again.

Woooooooooooo.
Unique Skill: Mischief of the Avenging God
A unique skill expressed by taking in the secret potion of the God of Vengeance.
This skill includes the unique skill: Reversible Prank [Pole].
ー~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

 There was more to the skill description.

Woohoo!
Unique Skill: Prank of Reversal [Polar]
Occupation. Status. Magic. Skills. Unique Skills. Titles. Equipment.
You can give or undo the effect of a masterful reversal to any object at will.
However, when given to a status, the plus becomes a minus, and if this is life force, the target will be killed, so it is not recommended to use it on yourself.
ー ーoooooooo.

 It was a prank-like description.
 I don't get it.

''Let's try it out. First, it's Heal.

 And it was right after I was about to use my skills.

-- ''By activating the Unique Skill [Vengeance God's Mischief], the Unique Skill [Reversible Mischief [Pole] has been activated.

 A mysterious voice echoed in my head. Even more astonished.

-- ''The magic 《Healing (Heal)》 has been reversed to the magic 《Disparaging Aura》 by activating the unique skill. I will omit the report from now on.''

 What's that dangerous name?
 Erosion?
 The Heal Heel that was so pretty was nowhere to be seen.
 I checked the status.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Magic: Wave of Erosion, Disappearing Aura
Magic consumption: 3 to
A spherical wave with an erosive effect surrounds the user.
Those touched by the wave are deprived of life.
The area of effect can be expanded with the distribution of magic power.
Woooooooooooo.

I see. So the life-giving Heal has been reversed into a life-destroying Disappearing Aura.

 It's also not an equivalent state, but a pole.
 I don't know what level [extreme] means.
 But could this be a cheat?
 No, it should be a cheat.

'That guy........maybe we can beat him....

 Then it occurred to me.

'If I can use the same magic distribution as before the reversal, I can use it for a little later.

 My wounds have healed completely.
 I look at the end of the corridor, torch in hand.

Good.

 When you get to the room, there are two open boxes in the front.
 There is one box that is closed.
 Apparently, this guy can't leave the room.
 So it returns to normal after a period of time.

What does he eat for a living then?

 Do adventurers frequent this place?
 No. Do the monsters eat or do they not?
 I don't know.
 While thinking about such unimportant things, I walk up to the box and exercise my magic.

''Let this one die! -- "Erosional Waves Disappearing Aura!

 Unlike the 《Heal》, a sphere wrapped around me in the center.
 There was no trace of the Healing 《Heal》 there.

''That's not true. Just by flipping over, this is what it becomes?

 I'm being protected by the sphere now.
 The surface wavers eerily, and a red-black sphere of disaster covers me.
 I move even closer to the box and enlarge the motion to look at him.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

"How's my magic! You like it!

 The box roared and fled to the corner of the room.
 I followed it, deploying my magic.

'Don't think you can get away with it. You'll owe me your arm, you'll pay for it!

 A distorted squeal.

'What's the reply?'

 The area touched by the wave motion is gradually worn away from the part that touched it.
 It's a true erosion.
 Before I knew it, half of the box had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
 It can be called a terrifying magic.

 Immediately afterwards, the box suddenly emitted light.
 It turned into glittering particles and scattered all around.

'We won. So........I won. Hahahahahahahaha!

 I couldn't stop laughing.
 Then that announcement played in my head.

-- ''The Unique Skill 《Goddess Blessing》 has been activated. Please choose one of your loot.''

 With a voice, details appeared in front of him.

Woohoo!
Skill: "Mimicry
Skill: "The King's Ark
Consumables: Recovery Pill
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I see. So this is the ability of the goddess' blessing? Well it's hard to get rid of the mimicry, but....... This is it.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Skill: The King's Ark
Cross-Space Storage.
You can store your belongings in different spaces.
There is no size limit.
Woohoo!

This guy's got some serious shit for a box.

 Then another announcement echoes in my head.

-- ''By defeating the "Mimic [Treasure Chest] Lv: 500", you will be able to allocate your experience and begin to level up.

'I knew it was a mimic. Well, I knew it. It's a classic.

 With a pirouette sound announcing the level up, the status numbers rise.

'Hmm, level 500! No, wait a minute. He was that strong?

 Isn't it funny?
 I'm level 1 and he's 500.
 But the announcer doesn't answer.

--''End of experience sorting.''

 My status was in trouble.

Woohoo!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 The power and magic of the unique skills gave me goosebumps.
 I was shocked to see the status.
 What's this easy mode?
 I certainly endured it.
 I endured that princess's abuse and Saeki's harassment.
 My character got so twisted.
 Mimic was tearing my arm off, and I didn't cry.
 Is that why? Is that why it's a reward?

I'd appreciate it if that were the case. Is this the normal way of life in this world?

 I'm very glad to be in another world.
 But I don't know anything about this world other than this creepy place.

''Saeki and Ichijou must be marginally stronger than me...''

 The emptiness that comes suddenly.

''Is this another benefit of summoning a brave man?''

 Even I'm like this.
 They're probably already as strong as bakémon.
 I just couldn't do it.
 I was supposed to be the one.
 I was supposed to be the brave one.

 Then I heard the announcement again.

-- 'Level up to start leveling up your magic 《Healing》.

--'We have upgraded the magic Healing (Heal) [Lv:1] to the magic Healing (Heal) [Lv:MAX] by leveling up.'

What, MAX? No. Is that normal on a level?

--''I've learned the magic "state healing (effect heal)" by leveling up.
-- ''Upon leveling up, the magic [State Healing (Effect Heal) [Lv:1] has been upgraded to the magic [State Anomalies Heal (Effect Heal) [Lv:MAX]''
--''I've learned the magic "enchantment" by leveling up.
-- "We've upgraded the magic [Attribute Granting (Enchant) [Lv: 1] to the magic [Attribute Granting (Enchant) [Lv: MAX] by leveling up.
-- 'By leveling up.....
-- 'Level a.....

 The voices didn't stop ringing after that.
 I thought.
 Is this announcer bored?
