1 1-Dungeon Discovery

(What's going on...)

　My home used to living.

　It is a detached house in the suburbs and has seven rooms.

　It's an ordinary house with a basement and nothing special about it.

　But at the entrance to the basement,SainoSai noSouheiYesWas stunned.

　In front of you is a long stone corridor.

　The walls are lit with torches every few meters, giving the atmosphere of a Western citadel.

　… No matter how you look at it, it wasn't the view of my basement.

"......"

　Rub your eyes and check the basement again.

　However, the result has not changed.

　After all, I could only see the stone corridor.

(... Should I call the police at such times? Or fire department...? No, should I go to the hospital and have my head inspected...?)

　I tried vaguely thinking about it, but I can't come up with a good solution.

　It's probably best to call your parents.

　Unfortunately, I don't know the contact information.

　Both of my parents are adventurers, and I'm sure they are exploring the ruins in some jungle now.

　Both my father and mother have a free-spirited personality, so I usually don't secure any means of contact with me.

　I rarely contacted him over there, and I couldn't get in touch.

(........Well, let's do a little research here)

　After a little thought, I make that decision.

　After all, I'm sure my blood is drawn from my parents.

　There is an unknown area in front of me, and I'm excited.

　Let's explore the situation for a moment.

　I step into the corridor with my socks on.

　Despite being stone, the floor is fairly flat, which is not bad for a scaffold.

　However, it's best to wear proper shoes the next time you invade.

　Well, I don't know if there is next...

(...Is the air normal? The wind is blowing a little toward the back. I don't feel like it's being eroded by plants. I don't think it's going to collapse.)

　Carefully take steps to investigate the environment.

　Apparently, it's made quite sturdy here.

　Even if you tap the wall lightly, only a solid feel is returned.

　There is no feeling of collapse.

　As I continued going through the corridor, I could see the wall ahead.

　Is it a corner?

　There is more than fifty meters from the entrance to it.

　You should have passed under your neighbor's house.

　What is really going on in this place?

"......"

　Kill the sign and approach the corner.

　Having torches means there are people here.

　It's best not to move badly.

　I walked carefully while sticking my body to the wall, and slowly raised my head out of the corner.

(...There is no one. And then, in the corridor...then the down stairs?)

　Exhale heavily to avoid making noise.

　I'm glad I didn't run into any danger.

　However, the corridor has been running for a long time, and this time it seems that there is a staircase ahead.

　I don't yet know if this is a safe place.

(Would you like to go a little more...)

　I was just going to see it for a moment, but it looks like I can still go somehow.

　I'm kind of quick, and if I find something dangerous, I'll be able to run home.

　There's also a sturdy lock on the basement door, and the worst should be avoided if someone follows you.

　I'm heading for the stairs so I don't make footsteps.

　...But on the way, I discovered something strange.

　About 5 meters from the corner.

　I didn't know when I first saw it because it looked like the color of the corridor, but there was something like a thin notebook on it.

(...what's this?)

　For hands, open it.

　The written language seems to be Japanese.

　The content is... A note of something?

　There are illustrations of animals here and there, with some numbers and text that seems to be commentary.

　However, the description is about one quarter of the whole, and the rest is blank.

　I opened the first page and read the contents.

　It is written in handwritten letters as follows.

　"I'm the one who picked up this note. I will entrust my experience so that supreme happiness may come to you."

"??"

　Unintentionally put a question mark in the description on the first page.

　This sentence is clearly a message for me.

　I wonder if this book was written with the intention of throwing it away here beforehand.

　I looked around again to make sure nothing was wrong, then flipped through the pages.

　On the next page, some sentences are listed in bullets.

(Um... "There is something called Lv in this labyrinth. What has a high Lv is strong, and what has a low Lv is weak."?

　Read the first sentence and get a little bit out of the way.

　I was wondering if the information about this stone hallway was written, but what was actually written was like an explanation of a role-playing game.

　It doesn't look like it, but maybe it's a game manual.

　However, I decided to read the following sentence.

　"Your Lv can be confirmed by looking at the palm in the labyrinth. You can check the Lv of others and monsters by pinching one eye."

　Look at your palm...?

　While skeptical about the unclear statement, I decided to take a look at my palm.

　Then there-

"!!"

　I open my eyes unintentionally.

　My right hand opened.

　There should be nothing there, and the number zero was clearly written in blue letters.

(you're kidding...?)

　I doubt the trick, but I don't understand at all.

　When was this number written?

　Someone was mischievous so that I wouldn't notice...?

　No, that's unlikely.

　As you can see, if the pen runs in the palm of your hand, you will definitely notice.

　Maybe what is really written in this book is correct?

"......"

　I turn my eyes back on the book while feeling creepy.

　The next description is this.

　"Monster Lv is Level, and human Lv is Love. Both are indicators of strength, but monsters get stronger in battle experience, while humans get stronger through sexual intercourse."

"What is that...?"

　The voice leaks unintentionally to the stupidity of the written text.

　You can see that monsters fight and become stronger.

　However, humans have sex and become stronger...?

　I want you to write a little more decent description.

(Well, the number "zero" in this palm matches, though...)

　Looking at the numbers on the right hand, I felt like I was hit by a painful part.

　Certainly I have no sex experience.

　I'm a virgin.

　In that respect, this statement is correct.

　My current Lv...Love is zero.

"......"

　Watching the following description while suppressing the desire to impulsively hit the book on the floor.

(Well... "There are three treasure chests per floor in the labyrinth. The contents of the treasure chest are various magical tools, and they can all be used outside the labyrinth. The contents of the treasure chest should be a year old. In order to raise Lv, it is effective to use these magic tools".... Magic tools…)

　According to this book, there are some treasures sleeping in this labyrinth.

　The name "magic tool" is suspicious, but let's believe it for now.

　I'm excited about the adventurer's blood, and it's exciting to have such a setting.

　I don't know what will actually come out, but I suddenly wanted to go beyond this mysterious passage.

　I look at the next sentence as I feel my heart beating as expected.

　This sentence seems to be the last.

　"When a certain amount of damage is received in the labyrinth, it is forcibly transferred to the entrance of the labyrinth. At that time, all magical tools obtained from the start of the search will be lost, and you will return to the original treasure chest. It is essential to survive without being damaged as much as possible."

(Transfer to the entrance with the amount of damage....The result of the search will be lost, but it will not die...)

　I see, this is also like a game.

　The point is that the entrance is a save point, and if you die, start over from there.

　Unlike the real adventures that my father and mother do, it seems to be much less risky.

　Well, there are some doubts that the "transition" will trigger if you really die, but...

(...OK)

　Close the book.

　My heart is fixed.

　The blood of an adventurer flowing through my body.

　It inevitably drives me into adventure.

　I wonder if this means that blood can't fight.

　Well, anyway--

(Challenge the Ichicho dungeon, try it...!)
