chapter 82
82 – Midterms and Bluebeard’s Gift (4)
Anyway, after going through the dungeon, I came out right away.
Outside, Bluebeard was leisurely reading a book.
Since I am also a writer myself, I was curious about what this nobleman was reading. I immediately looked up and tried to see the title of the book.
However, Bluebeard deliberately covered the book right behind him and hid it behind him.
“It looks like it came around once. And… The level went up by 1.”
Bluebeard laughed.
“It climbed really fast.”
It was several times more efficient than repeating monster hunting at night in a kendo hall in the outside world. I was about to be able to feel it.
‘It’s strange that the level goes up better in a dream…’
I thought so.
If I was an extra who didn’t receive any kind of correction for the main character… Shouldn’t I have to rise to the level of a rat’s tail here too? That was questionable.
“And Mr. Bluebeard. You’re too cruel. Can’t you just make it disappear like smoke when you die like a monster from the outside world?”
I said as I wiped the blood from my body. Even though it was a dream, it felt pretty dirty.
Besides… I’m not a psychopath either, so seeing the monsters dying while scattering blood and flesh made me sick.
“What are you talking about? I have never intervened in the exact internal structure of the dungeon.”
Bluebeard raised his eyes and said.
“Huh? What is that…”
“This dungeon is a place created by your inner world. I just opened the dungeon’s door.”
Said Bluebeard.
Is this bloody scene also part of my inner self?
What… Is my inner self so rotten? I could have thought of that, but… I felt a sense of déjà vu.
‘Even this abandoned mine dungeon…Something seems familiar to me.’
It’s a material I used when writing fantasy in the original world, but it was different from that. I felt like I had been there before.
When I tried to recall that point, it felt like a fog had formed in my head on purpose. Something was terribly frustrating.
“………”
While I was thinking about it, Bluebeard unnaturally changed the topic.
“By the way, with the remaining time, I should be able to run around the dungeon for about one or two laps. Would you like to run more?”
Bluebeard said with a smile.
“Ah. I see. What.”
I said so. I couldn’t miss such a good farming opportunity.
“Then…Now, would you like to challenge the level 30 dungeon? It should be worth a try.”
Said Bluebeard.
“I’ll just go with level 20.”
I knew very well that low-level dungeons are the safest, so I cut it short.
“You… You’re a bit of a coward.”
Bluebeard said in a tone that made fun of me.
“Safety First!!!”
After saying that, I headed to the level 20 dungeon. I am not a coward!! You made a reasonable decision!!! It’s better to go around the low-level dungeon several times while taking one round of the high-level dungeon!! Really!!
The internal structure of Kobold’s mine had already been figured out. Knowing the mob layout, deaths were minimized. Attack time will also be shortened. It was the best environment for running around the dungeon.
———
“Twitter!!”
“Chureuk!!”
As soon as I entered the dungeon, kobolds held pickaxes and looked at me with an angry expression.
Knowing led to confidence. I boldly stood in front of the kobolds.
Pushaaak-! Pushak-!!
I swung my sword in turn and slaughtered the kobolds in front of me.
“Twitter!!”
“Chureureuk!!!”
At the same time as I jumped over the corpses of the kobolds, I went right back into the alley.
“Here you are!!”
I knew during the raid earlier that there was a guy waiting in the alley.
“Chwiiik?!”
The kobold caught by surprise let out a panicked sound.
“Ttukbaegi!!!”
At the same time as I was breathing, I struck the hard hat on the kobold’s head with my sword.
Pushaaah-!!!!!
The moment the hard hat was cut off like tofu, the kobold’s body split in two and scattered.
Like that, I ran around the dungeon in the direction of hunting all the mobs on the field.
Soon, I faced the boss of the dungeon again.
“Twitter!!”
It was the same kobold clad in armor as last time.
“High bread crumbs!!!”
I ran right into the boss mob.
Pushaaagh-!!!
With a single blow, I slashed the boss mob with its armor.
T-ring-!!!
Level went up right up to 22. Since the level was still low, the level went up by 1 every time you went around the dungeon.
Once I got out of the dungeon, I faced Bluebeard again.
You had to open the door outside the dungeon to regenerate the mobs. It was needlessly gamey at this point.
“No… Are you already paid?”
Bluebeard looked up at me while reading a book.
“I already figured it out.”
I shrugged.
It took about 10 minutes.
Considering that the remaining time was about an hour, it was possible to make six laps. Now that I had a chance to improve my specs, I planned to make the most of that opportunity.
“Really…You have a unique quality.”
Bluebeard looked at me curiously.
“Then one more turn!!!”
I immediately opened the door and entered. Ahh… Now it felt like the level was going up all of a sudden. Of course, I couldn’t help but be excited.
———-
After that, I ran 6 laps of the dungeon on grass.
T-ring-! Tring-! Tiriling-!!
His level went up quickly and reached 24. To be honest, I wanted to take 25. If you take the level in multiples of 5, you’ll feel comfortable. But, well, this was a bit of a sensible thing.
“The sun is slowly coming out. Then let’s wrap things up like this. We’ll see you again tonight.”
Bluebeard clapped his hands.
At the same time, the world around Bluebeard and me began to collapse. Soon, my consciousness went dark.
———
I thought I would wake up right away, but I woke up in a different place.
‘Where is this…?’
It was definitely a dream. But it was in 3rd person perspective. A strange phenomenon was happening where I could see myself.
It was me, wrapped in the skin of an animal, with a sword roughly around my waist. The faces and physiques were similar, but the atmosphere was different. Should I say that he looked much tougher… The smell of blood was thick.
I was walking the streets like a triumphant general, dragging the head of a huge dragon. The streets were medieval. The costumes of the people were also terrifyingly medieval.
People’s sanitary conditions were too good to be called the Middle Ages in reality. That’s it. Okay. That. It was a medieval dramatized in a fantasy style.
“Long live the warriors!!!”
“Hero!!!!”
“Hero!!!!!”
“The hero has defeated the evil venomous dragon!!!!”
People cheered in unison. In my dream, I laughed and reacted to the cheers of the people. It was just me who screamed and jumped up and down. I’m pretty frivolous here too.
Within seconds, the landscape of the dream changed.
Lying on a huge bed, I was hanging out with naked beauties. Among the countless beauties, there was also a woman with long ears. Yes. Was an elf It’s fantasy. It was a very standard fantasy.
Great achievements, wealth and honor, pretty women… I was enjoying a man’s romance to the fullest.
‘I see…That’s a f*cking dream.’
I was sure of that. Is it a high-quality dog dream in which my internalized desires are embodied?
By the way, I haven’t been particularly overcome by frustration lately, have I? Rather, it was so satisfying that it was frightening.
When I was engulfed in such doubts, my consciousness went black.
——–
“Huh!!”
I opened my eyes right away. Familiar ceiling, familiar smell, yes. It was my home.
Haljjak-! Licking-!
Umi, Eri, and Taiga were crawling over me like slugs and licking my chest. No matter how many times I licked, the smell of saliva vibrated.
“What are you doing?”
I looked at the three.
“Ah… Shota. He was sweating a lot. I was licking it off.”
Umi calmly said something crazy.
“That… I licked it for fun at first, but it was strangely addictive.”
Eri said as she climbed onto my chest. Thanks to her own belly pressed against my chest, she saw a superb view of Eri’s voluptuous breasts being crushed.
Of course, my lower body had no choice but to respond.
“This baby …. Because the energy is good. It’s still 5 am. Let’s enjoy it.”
Taiga smiled and hugged me.
“Just go to school early…”
Before I could say anything, the girls threw themselves at me.
Like that, I was set on a date by my girlfriends from the morning. We were able to go to school in a hurry only when we were just about to be late because everyone was more burnt than we thought. So, another good day began.
After school, I stopped by my house for a while to help my girlfriends study for exams and write for a website, then packed my things and headed to the kendo gym. Yesterday I went to the kendo gym first, but today I tried a little change.
“Umi. Why don’t you show your face too? Let’s say hello to Master and Asuna-san.”
I said to Umi, who was on the sofa. It was a very free-spirited outfit, wearing a T-shirt and panties. We’ve seen each other, and it’s nice to have a good eye for me, but… My lower body wasn’t the main subject.
“It’s annoying.”
Umi said calmly. After dating me, she was U-mi, who became the absolute master of my house.
Master… You must be sad to see that scene. I thought of that on my own.
Well, he said he wouldn’t go, but he had no choice. I went straight to the kendo hall.
———
“My Home!!!!!”
I went straight into the kendo hall. It was a place that really became my second home without having to say goodbye. It’s a place we go to every day.
However, the atmosphere at the kendo hall was strange.
“………”
All the other pupils sat quietly as if dead.
Huh? It’s different from usual.
Originally, as soon as I went in, I should have heard a terrifyingly loud noise. It’s because everyone is excited.
Within seconds, I realized why the kendo hall was different from usual.
In the center of the kendo hall, a beautiful woman with silver hair was standing in a uniform.
Yes. She was Kana Saito. He was a strong candidate for the championship.
