chapter 21
???Floor – Abyss (1)
[Abyss] is a land where by-products pouring down from the vast, raging world of the labyrinth are piled up.
In fact, I don’t know if calling it land is an accurate expression.
[Abyss] becomes a dark and cold space as the image comes from its name as it approaches the depths.
But to us, who are just licking the outside, it is just a damp and shady ground.
“Ugh….”
The girl is anxiously clinging to her.
If it’s my mistake, it’s a mistake.
Even if the corpses are piled up like a mountain, ‘Wow, a lot of corpses!’ I thought it was a guy who would say the same thing, so I was vigilant.
“I was just so horrified.”
The girl shudders as she sees the tentacles passing by and moving away.
The trembling body is not smoke.
“This is my first [Abyss], but I never want to come twice…”
Although the hunter’s complexion is a little off, he seems to be adjusting without any major problems.
The problem was the girl.
“I’ll close my eyes. Tell me if you need it.”
That’s what it sounds like when you close your eyes and cling to it.
It’s a land where some kind of weird thing roams, but I’m guessing the tolerance on that side will be low.
In the gaming era, it was information that the almighty status window would have informed us earlier. shit.
I just can’t stand the disgusting thing. It must have been written
How to calm the trembling girl and start moving.
I used to tell them if I needed to, but that doesn’t seem to be of any help.
It’s quite a sight to see how he closes his eyes, grabs the hem of my clothes, and stutters.
It’s even more impressive that the floor is bumpy and you don’t lose your balance with your eyes closed.
Right now, I can’t see any monsters walking around, but the girl didn’t try to open her eyes.
The hunter groans and groans in vain.
“What the hell is this?”
“No, don’t tell me. I can imagine. Please.”
So I didn’t say. If you look at it roughly, it’s a layer of debris that has fulfilled its role and has collapsed and poured down.
There must have been an undead, but it must have been a ghoul from the swamp, so it was rotten in a very vicious manner.
Disgusting and thick stuff flows down.
It seems that even the hunter recognized what used to be a human arm as he watched it flow down.
“Aren’t you moving?”
“You really need to be a dragon to be able to work even after falling to [the abyss]?”
“What, what is moving? Don’t tell me. Ugh.”
He looked so pitiful, so he rolled up a piece of cloth and put it in his ear.
First, let’s find a place like a base to spend the night.
It’s hard to know day and night, though.
* * *
I wish I could find an altar to worship the gods conveniently, but it’s not that easy.
Among the countless layers of debris that poured down, I found something that was just fine and entered it.
The interior is much better than expected.
The hunter was skeptical when he saw the appearance of the half-broken.
When I went inside, I was even more puzzled.
“······SF?”
“I think there was a space colony map on some floor. I guess those people must have been so happy?”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Judging from the shape, it must have been a type of map with limited oxygen.
When you see this fall into the abyss…
“It’s also a failed map.”
The bodies of dead exiles are visible. There is no life, but there is equipment.
I wish I had food.
As he approached casually and began to rummage, the hunter followed.
Some poorly made jerky was found, and there was also a plausible sword.
There was also a very full-fledged rifle that wasn’t as good as a double-barreled shotgun, but it was damaged and could not be used.
This is the case with most objects that can be found in the abyss.
I think that the process of reaching this point is not just a simple physical fall.
“I’ve never seen a map like this. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of it.”
The hunter shakes his head.
I laughed.
“It doesn’t happen often before the kingdom. These corpses are probably exiles who have reached the kingdom?”
The color of the equipment is different. I can’t write it all because it’s all smashed.
Everything that falls into the abyss is like that.
Things that were moving are immobile, and things that worked well are so small that you can only see what they were.
“I wish I could take something like this and make something out of the anvil. It seems difficult to carry around.”
There is no way to recycle broken equipment.
But it’s funny to carry around with scraps to recycle until we escape from [the abyss].
“Let’s get some rest.”
Many things happened.
Orcs raided the excavation site, rummaged through the ruins and defeated a griffon, and was struck by lightning.
It all happened before the end of the day, so I feel very tired.
Everyone died once and was revived with the power of the healing potion, so their stamina must be even lower.
As it was a relatively intact fragment, the door leaf still remains.
The monsters of the abyss do not come this far, surprisingly.
“Now, how long will the water hold up?”
The second floor was a forest with abundant vegetation. Such a map was caught from the beginning, but if you endure food storage, you are not a person.
Eat as much dried meat and fruit as possible.
Calorie intake is not too much.
but no water
The fountain of recovery, that is, a healing potion should be used instead of water.
If you’re on the regular floor, there’s a fountain of recovery so you don’t have to worry about drinking water, but [Abyss] isn’t that kind.
I lay down on the floor with some fur on the floor to take a breather. He beckoned to the girl because he was not in a good position to spend by himself.
This time too, it clings to me and doesn’t try to fall off.
This time it’s acting.
My eyes cannot deceive.
The debris that was a space colony was in the form of a normal room, and there was nothing so disgusting that the girl hated it.
It seems that the body is probably not included in the object of hate.
I hugged him because he knew what he wanted.
It’s a body that fits snugly in your arms.
The clothes don’t fit the size, so it’s cute like a child pretending to be an adult.
It’s actually a little kid though.
There seems to be an effort to make it invisible to others, but the corners of his mouth are smiling.
It’s not an unknown situation.
I think it’s a romantic feeling. Why?
A secret was revealed as to why he was so obedient.
Is it like a swinging bridge effect?
I decided not to think too deeply about it.
because it’s difficult
Let’s not say that this kind of liking is exploitation…
I don’t know if I can properly accept those feelings right now.
But you can respond.
I tried to wrap my arms around my back. Then the girl reached out and grabbed my hand.
Pull it straight up and put it on your head.
heh heh shit.
As I stroked it, the sound of his humming and laughter was very low. It seems that he may have leaked because he was absorbed in acting.
ok, if you like it
* * *
I opened my eyes at the unfavorable sight.
It rumbles and the floor vibrates.
Something is passing nearby.
The sound of footsteps thumping.
Everyone thought he was awake, but he didn’t.
When it comes to mental power, it sounds like a geeky thing, but it really is.
It can only be explained that way, even if your body is as tired as death, you can move and open your eyes.
Still, it wasn’t a big deal.
It seems that the altar of the god of the abyss is passing by.
A huge golem with a temple on its back.
If it was a rest period, I would have thought of going upstairs and staying, but seeing it moving, I was disappointed.
The option of escaping with faith as the god of the abyss is gone.
Then, when I met Kakrish again, I would not have known that the situation would have been quite awkward.
The girl is completely isolated. Even if you gently put it down and come out, you won’t notice it.
Thanks to the healing potion, there are no traces on the body and I can’t remember it well, but almost half of my body was blown away.
You would have lost a lot of stamina. Even the hunter can’t open his eyes.
There were quite a few furs in the luggage we brought from the second floor.
There is also quite a bit of glue left over.
The door is crumpled and there is some empty space.
The monsters of the abyss do not normally enter this narrow space, but when the temple passes by, the story is different.
It hides in all directions so as not to be stepped on, but there is a gap, so if even a small thing enters, it’s over.
everyone will die
It was meticulously sealed in every nook and cranny. I almost vomited after using a magic that created a little heat to melt the glue.
I also lost a lot of stamina.
The thumping sound gets closer as I barely block it and take a breather.
It also started to make a squeaking sound.
It looks like a snake, but it can’t be, and it’s probably a monster like a lump of tentacles or something.
Gently fumbling at the door, he gives up and sets off to find another hiding place.
If there was a hole to seep in, it flowed in.
There’s nothing to win here, so it’s a horror survival game for the time being.
The genre changes quickly.
* * *
“It’s all mixed up.”
“Does this happen every day?”
“Maybe every day. It’s up to you. No one knows how many days a day here will be outside.”
It is better to leave quickly. You don’t lose money because the time limit is subjective, but arriving late on the odd floors is risky.
The girl patiently pretended to know and nodded.
Then when the hunter can’t see him, he sneaks a question.
“Did you say that the odd-numbered floors are where you meet other exiles other than the native NPCs?”
“I remember correctly.”
Now I just stroke my hair without any burden.
The girl chuckled and laughed.
A golem passed by last night, but none of you woke up, you didn’t say the same thing.
It’s not like it’s good for your mental health just knowing that there are already terrible sights all over the place.
In such a dirty place, managing your mental power becomes important.
In the game days, he was a fellow NPC who would die if he had to open his mouth, but now he’s a human being.
He began to sneak around to find the exit to the abyss.
Since it’s not deep, the number of monsters isn’t that great.
It’s not difficult for guys who are sensitive to sound to dodge at the right time.
When there was nothing ugly around, the girl opened one eye slightly and started to look around.
However, there are guys who are hiding.
“Don’t go there. It looks like a rock, but it’s a monster.”
“······really?”
“If you don’t go near it, it won’t be eaten, so it’s safe.”
“Is it right to say it’s safe?”
Move slowly and carefully. Several times a door that looked like an exit appeared.
But they are all gates to a deeper place.
The exit appears in a more fucked up location.
Many newbies will be hooked on such a door and go deep into the next world.
It’s been around for quite some time, but it doesn’t make any difference.
Not good. I thought about it, and suddenly, a stone stone shining with a colorful gradation appeared in front of my eyes.
What is it, the goddess of chaos?
get off it
If only the abyss comes, it’s a joke.
Even the hunter glanced at him to see if he was familiar with the notoriety of chaos, and then turned his eyes away.
The girl takes the same attitude as me to pretend to know.
As I continued to walk, a monument appeared in front of me again.
This time, it shines more splendidly.
“No, this is going to be lured by monsters. Chaos, are you doing this on purpose?”
The answer doesn’t come back.
Ignored and moved on.
As we turned the corner, the tombstone appeared again. This time, all the conspicuous decorations are gone.
I frowned, then ignored it and moved on.
The tombstone appeared again.
words are engraved
[Special bargain sale! If it is now, prayers will be accepted as believers in one shot!]
You’re having a lot of fun.
Ignore it again and move on.
The tombstone appears again.
[help me.]
·····················································································?
Could the chaos of this world be the ‘Goddess of Chaos and Freedom’?
I decided to ignore it one more time.
A tombstone appeared.
[Please save me. please.]
oh my god This is no joke at this point.
This god now has 0 followers.
It’s on the verge of extinction.
If so, it’s time for negotiation.
