prologue

My body felt like a lump of meat, and I screamed as my breathing became laboured. It had the impression of not being my own body.

"greeeeee, greeee"

I raised the sword in my hand and attempted to slash the monster in front of me.

splash...

My body fell to the ground when I attempted to. My nose was assaulted by the distinct, earthy smell that is blended with blood, sand, and stone.

I made an effort to stay upright as I could see the approaching monster. but my body doesn't seem to be listening to me.

"Haaaa'

I've hit my limit.

I finished all of my portions. My wounds are deep enough that they have reached my internal organs. I wouldn't be able to live unless I received medical attention.

Even if I wanted to escape, I was still a long way from the surface, and I hoped to get away from this dangerous monster-infested place.

But I know deep down that this is it for me.

"What.....has.....become of my.....life?"

My life ended far too soon.

I, Mike, was born into a noble family and I have a secret that no one knows about: I am a reincarnated person who reincarnated in a game that I previously played, and I was also given a cheat, which is an inventory containing all of the items and equipment that I owned during my gaming days. Despite being born in the lowest social class, baron and I had a happy childhood.

But I, who aspired to be strong, chose to abandon my family, and I, who had previous life game knowledge and cheats, chose to become an adventurer and quickly rise through the ranks, eventually becoming an A class adventurer at the age of twenty one.

It is a rare rank bestowed upon a hard worker or a gifted individual. I mean, only 7 new adventures out of 300 could reach that level.

And I, full of myself, challenged this super difficult hidden dungeon in the middle of a giant forest with the help of game knowledge and by myself at that. In the game, it was one of the dungeons where high ranking players will go, so I, thinking that I had become powerful, challenged the dungeon, which left me in this sorry state after so many encounters with many dangerous and powerful monsters.

"If.....I... was.....given"

My voice didn't come out, and my vision gradually darkened.

If I had another chance, I would choose a more secure and stable job, and I would like to have a lot of friends to fool around with.

Finally, I don't want to die alone; I want to die with a smile on my face, surrounded by family. It will be ideal.

As I was thinking, the monster around me closed the gap between us, tore my limbs, and started eating me alive.

"ahhhh"

I let out a painful voice.

As I gradually lost consciousness, I embraced the dead with regrets and pain.
