11 – Level
However, no matter how you look at it, the shape of the box…
“It’s a treasure chest… isn’t it?”
I don’t think there’s a key…
I was afraid, so I stood at the back of the box and opened
it using the tip of the pickaxe.
The lid made a squeaking sound but there was no trap.
I peered in and I found a necklace in there.
I picked up the necklace and immediately something came in
front of my eyes.
“What’s this??”
Level 1 HP 10/10
“Umm, this is…”
This is a level, right?
An often used system in games…
“Eeeeeeee!!?”
12 – End of the first Exploration
I can’t see anything other than the HP and level.
Level probably shows power.
HP displays physical endurance.
“What is this… is this the effect of the necklace?”
I fearfully put on the necklace, but nothing happened.
I was starting to get tired and sleepy so I decided to go
back home and sleep.
Looking at the time, it’s already 3 AM.
It was a scary but an interesting experience.
Let’s dive again tomorrow.
Having decided on that, I readied my futon and set an alarm
for 10 AM and went to sleep.
13 – Pouch Incident
The alarm goes off.
“Morning already…”
My gaze falls on the rolled up tatami mat and the
floorboards.
“Ah… it wasn’t a dream…”
I sigh and start on the preparation of rice.
After eating, I flip over the waist pouch and lay out
yesterday’s bounty.
“What do you use it for…”
There were 7 of the rat claws and 40 test tubes containing
the green liquid.
Then it came to me.
“Huh? Was this pouch always like this?”
I tried to put everything I had at once and it went in
without any problems.
Maybe this pouch…
14 – Skill
“…is an item box.”
It doesn’t seem like it can fit much, but it fits stuff
alright I guess.
“No, where did the necklace disappear to?”
Yes, the necklace that I had around my neck is gone.
Even if there is little space, it couldn’t have fallen off.
When I tried to recall the level yesterday, the level and HP
were reflected in front of me.
There was also something called a skill there…
15 – Appraisal
“Skill… Appraisal?”
Level: 1 HP: 10/10 Skill: Appraisal
“Un, it is increasing…”
Thinking of the floating levels, I picked up an item while
thinking about appraising it.
Mouse Claw: Giant Mouse’s Claw
“Oh… it was a claw. Then what about this?”
Acid Worm’s acid: Acid Worm’s Acidic spit
“It’s dangerous!! Thank god I didn’t drink that!”
I often see green healing items in games I’m glad I didn’t
drink and verify.
“Is it possible to appraise the skill Appraisal?”
16 – Large Bat
Appraisal: Displays the details of objects with conscious
thoughts
“Well, I don’t know how I got it as a skill… it can’t be
helped.”
It probably has something to do with the necklace.
While thinking about this and that, it was already around
13:20.
“Okay, I have enough weapons for now, let’s go in!”
Walking down the large stairway and illumining the ceiling,
I found it.
Giant Bat: Large bats prefer dark spaces
“Hoo”
It’s an enemy that will attack even without being provoked
let’s proceed carefully.
17 – Body Blow
For a while now, the bats only attack when I hit them with the
headlight.
“Scram! I’ll show you when I get back!!”
The bats move quickly and cannot be hit with the kitchen
knife.
“Seriously! Damn it! I won’t bite you!”
Bats don’t attack with their sharp claws or bite with their sharp
fangs.
It’s just my body was going all out.
While predicting multiple attack patterns, the only thing
that moves is your body.
I’m gradually getting used to it, so I start fighting back.
18 – A Nasty feeling
I stopped using the kitchen knife on the bats and take out
my pickaxe.
The last batting station I went to was closed a few years
ago.
“Hah, let God decide if I’ll win or not.”
Shaking it around while letting out a small breath gives a
nasty feeling in my hand.
“Uheeee…”
The wooden handle was already red.
“Oh, I’ll have to wash it when I return.”
While I mumble I look at the place the bat fell.
Items remained in place as the bat disappeared into the
light.
19 – Limit
Wing of the Giant Bat: Large Bat’s processed wings
“Eh… processed is… is this a food ingredient?”
The wings had a slightly pink colour to it.
“It won’t help even if I think too much about it. Un!”
I put away the wings and struck the bats that came out with
the pickaxe.
After about 20 bodies, the waist pouch seemed to have
reached its limits.
At last, the capacity is full.
“This item box seems impossible but I’ll use it for a while
because it’s convenient.”
20 – Stairs
After that, as I continued to search, I found a staircase
leading down.
“It’s a dungeon after all…”
Level: 1 HP: 6/10 Skill: Appraisal
“Oh, my HP is low”
I’ve only been hitting the bats, my HP was still reduced by
4.
It’s a mystery how this happened, but I can’t help what I
don’t understand.
Changing my mind, I look at the stairs.
“Okay! I’ll go down after I level up!”
As long as I am unaware of what’s going on, I can’t help but
be careful of what I might encounter around the corner.
So I changed my mind and hunted bats.
