As usual I was tormented by the darkness, in an RPG this place would probably be known as a dungeon.
“If it is a dungeon, shouldn’t I at least get some good drops?”
The only item I’ve even seen since I came here was the creepy liquid, other than that there’s nothing here!
Wait, there was the torch.
In other words, I was still in my school uniform, a school uniform with a ripped sleeve.
“I look like I’m just some highschool who got lost and started wandering around in the dark. This place could at least give me a change of clothes, and bring that bitch here.”
By that I’m of course referring to Aries. I have no idea if that stupid princess is actually a bitch or not, but I feel like calling her that so I will.
The conversations I was having with myself seemed to be growing in number.
※
A large iron door lied in front of me, it was unlike anything I’d ever seen with torches hung on either side of it.
“…….Something tells me this is the boss room.”
In RPG’s a door on this level is a clear indication of an event.
I pushed on it to see what would happen.
“……” Nothing happened. “Well if it’s not a push door you know what they say it’s a pull doo- ……”
There’s nothing to pull on.
“Well that’s interesting.”
I glanced around looking for a lever but didn’t see anything.
Isn’t there some kind of truck that when you pull down on a torch beside the door it opens? I thought this seemed reasonable but when I gave it a try the torch on the left broke.
Offended, I sat down.
“Wait a minute…. Haaaah, I am a special kind of stupid. I don’t have to actually ‘open’ the door.”
Standing up, I walked back over to the door and…
“[Erosion Wave]!”
This isn’t a game, the answer was right in front of me. A hole big enough for a person to walk through opened in the door and light came pouring out.
“Well, this world’s magic is just all purpose isn’t it.”
If this were a game I would have been stuck trying to find the proper key, so when I stepped into the room I was in quite a good mood.
I wouldn’t say the room was pretty or anything, but I definitely preferred it to where I was before. It was a wide room with a tall ceiling and had candles lining the walls.
However, that’s not what held my attention, from the time I entered the room there was only one thing I looked at.
A staff was left floating on a platform.
“It looks like I’ve finally arrived. There’s no mistake here right?”
While erring on the side of caution, I continued until I was standing in front of the staff.
“Finally, I get some equipment and it’s a staff.”
The staff was emitting a light as it floated on the platform.
“I mean, a magician needs a staff.”
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
“Wha-, what’s going on!?”
A giant dropped from the ceiling, covered head to toe in knights armor. Rocks fell to the ground as it landed, fully equipped with a sword and shield. Overall, it was huge.
“Hey,hey,hey,hey! Come on, I just got to this world! Isn’t this a bit much!”
Sand poured down from the ceiling as the giant made its way towards me.
“Wait! Wait!”
A large fissure opened in the ground thanks to the giant knight after it swung it’s sword down.
“Kuu~”
Somehow, I managed to get out of the way at the last second. My body was left scratched by debris but otherwise I was unharmed. Had I been any slower however, I would have been left with much more than a scratch.
“[Aura Boost]!”
A purple aura covered my body, it almost felt as though I was wearing a wave. After maxing out both [Attack Aura] and [Protection Aura] these two combined.
ーーーーーーーーーーー
Magic: Aura Boost
MP cost: 50
Purple magic coats the body giving a boost to physical attack and defense.
ーーーーーーーーーーー
I circled around behind the giant on it’s right side as it pulled out the sword embedded in the ground. The sword’s tip sliced through part of the platform.
“Aye! Watch out for the staff! You’re completely willing to destroy it aren’t you!?”
Whatever, it’s not like he understands what I’m saying anyway.
“[Erosion Wave]!”
The reddish black sphere sprung to life around me, I watched as it came into contact with the giant’s left leg. The magic erased it below the knee and sent the knight crashing to a stump it’s balance destroyed.
“Well that was easy.”
Before I noticed the giant had begun to spin on its stump brandishing the sword. Picking up speed, suddenly I was attacked by the tremendous wind pressure and sent flying by the sword.
“Kuaaaa!”
Blood splashed on the ground, it was the first time in my life that I vomited blood.
“I….. think that was supposed to hurt a lot more than it did. Is this from the level?”
With no time to lie around in pain I tried to gather my strength, the damage leaving my body feeling heavy. I should have gone all out from the beginning, but instead I had become over confident with the massive level up.
“I’m going all out this time! [Erosion Wave]!”
The ominous magic sprung to life around me, extending outward to collide with the giant. The magic crawled up the knight, covering the top of it’s head, erasing everything as it went.
“Hahahahahahahaha, I am awesome!”
Halfway through the erosion, the giant burst into tiny particles of light.
“Looks like it’s over.”
―”[Mimic {armored giant} level 400] defeated, [Inherent skill: Goddess’s divine protection] activated.”
The same announcement voice from the last time rang inside my head.
“Mimic? That thing was a mimic? Seriously?”
Who could have imagined that thing would have been a mimic.
“And it was level four hundred, how in the world was this giant monstrosity of a mimic, lower leveled than that treasure chest?”
The loot prompt appeared before me.
ーーーーーーーーーーー
Skill: Mimic’s Life
Equipment: Advanced Knight’s large sword
Equipment: Advanced Knight’s shield
ーーーーーーーーーーー
The equipment for an advanced knight, it’s hard to throw either of those away. However, skills can’t be replaced. No matter what game it is the fact remains, ultimately skills are necessary. Of course a strong weapon is effective but for me skills are more important right now.
ーーーーーーーーーーー
Skill: Mimic’s Life
Disguise.
A skill possessed by high level mimics in rare situations, the user is capable of disguising their status.
ーーーーーーーーーーー
This guy must have struggled too, I was weak enough that I could sympathize with the mimic.
“Goodbye fantasy.”
There’s now way any of that equipment probably couldn’t have been used by a healer, no matter how much I wanted it.
“Skill [Mimic’s Life] acquired.”
Choosing this wasn’t a mistake right? But the advanced knight stuff, that could have been me.
“Leveling up.”
Since coming to this world, this is the second time I’m leveling up.
