Deceased Trapped in a Game

chapter 26



3rd Floor – Lv.18 Gamers (4)

The 3rd floor is still in the early stages.

Being caught up in the flow of the abyss in such a place and being delayed for over a month was a huge blow.

I know this well because I am a senior exile.

Even after the kingdom, exiles who do not settle down and constantly challenge themselves, of course, often die.

So they try to shorten the time to reach the kingdom as much as possible.

Information is actively shared with each other and know-how is also shared.

After quickly routing the maze on the 1st floor and checking the theme of the 2nd floor, if you don’t like it, commit suicide.

This is considered to be a kind of standardization.

From the first theme, if you get a fucking shit, you can’t even break it, and if you’re careful, your journey to the kingdom stretches endlessly.

This is the biggest reason why it is difficult to see exiles with more than 30 years of experience, often called seniors, in the section before the kingdom.

Those who have spare time have either already committed suicide and moved on to another round, or they are running downstairs.

Skip what you want to skip, and take what you need to bring.

Because that’s what a speedrun is.

That’s why a lot of guys have already passed the 3rd floor I’m in right now.

Guys with an intermediate speed can’t afford to waste their body, save things, or throw away things they throw away while wriggling around.

After a month has passed, the remaining guys here are one of the two.

or less. careful or.

Even in gaming days, there were people who didn’t get along with speedruns.

People who can’t get over it because it’s uncomfortable if they scoured every corner of the map like this, farmed, and didn’t reveal even a single dot of darkness.

It didn’t change much as it was a labyrinth that became a reality.

The female archer was that type.

“You don’t know when or what will happen, so you have to be thoroughly prepared.”

“But after a few hooks, you’ll hate your life.”

“I have never been betrayed by prudence yet.”

“This can be happen.”

If I go after the kingdom, I will run even if I run out of time, but what can I do?

I gave advice.

If you can, run a little faster.

Don’t just pick up the leftovers left behind by the deceased and don’t eat them.

But sticking to your own style also has its own advantages.

In the first place, exiles are those who have abandoned the style of ‘normal human beings’.

“So what are you doing again?”

“Lend me your wizard.”

“A wizard?”

“That little cute friend.”

The female archer frowned as if puzzled.

“Didn’t you say you don’t need help?”

I replied with a grin.

“It’s because the information you gave me was wrong. I’ve come to complain to the client.”

“As a client, we are definitely….”

“Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to break through, so I’m watching the refugees, right?”

“It is.”

It’s very sensible to laugh round and round.

I took another arrow and held it out.

“Lend me.”

“It’s not a rental, but you can hire it at all.”

“No, isn’t that too much?”

“Wouldn’t it be better for that child to learn from seniors too?”

Look at this bastard. He’ll be big too. Now, I absolutely do not believe that I am 15 years old. I think it’s higher than that.

If you turn your head like this, it feels like you will meet regularly on odd floors in the future.

He thought so too in the first place, so he must have left the wizard to himself.

Until the hierarchy deepens to a certain extent, the magic class becomes a hindrance rather than a help.

Of course, it’s better than nothing, but if you’re a party leader, you can’t help but think of the cost of eating, sleeping, and wearing the wizard.

“It’s fine. We don’t need wizards.”

“I’m sorry. How about me then?”

“You’re the leader, what about your party?”

The female archer answered without disturbing her smile in the slightest.

“Then how about all of our parties?”

“I like it because it’s so shameless. Now, take this as well.”

He gave me a few more arrows. As long as the even-numbered layers of the ‘Girl’s Edition’ don’t come out, I’ll almost always eat them raw.

The female archer also nodded as if he had accepted the consumables I gave him as a sign of seeing him on the 5th floor.

There is a boss battle in units of 5 floors that change themes.

Because odd-numbered boss battles force the exiles to play cooperatively, this kind of favorability work is important.

Of course, the rotten water can just be skipped and passed, but if you don’t, you’ll have to fight and win.

“Thank you. It’s rare for seniors to give to their juniors. How can you be so grateful.”

“Oh, okay. Stop going and bring the wizard quickly. I’ll write it back for a while.”

It’s shameless and you’re sulking.

The female archer still smiled and withdrew.

* * *

The wizard in the female archer’s party is a small, cute-looking girl.

Not high school, younger? It’s an odd fate. How did I get dragged into the labyrinth at this age?

But even so, it didn’t seem like he was strong enough to ride the magic class tree from the start.

Feet trembling softly with a weak impression.

Are you just a sorcerer who is very afraid and is the last mage?

But this guy was 6 years old. He is a warrior who has been challenging the labyrinth for 6 years.

It should be viewed as an outlier.

The wizard, who was brought in without knowing what to do, followed my instructions and began a more precise search.

The trick is to re-learn from the beginning.

I don’t know who this child’s magic teacher is, but I don’t think he taught it very well.

The wizard asked with terrified eyes.

“Are you… a wizard?”

“Because he’s an assassin. He’s been a wizard before.”

I don’t know how far the wave will reach with just one well, but have you ever tried it?

The magician’s eyes are almost dyed with such a dazzle.

I was told to shut up and explore as I was told.

There is a big gap between using magic only depending on the skill and knowing what magic really is.

After seeing how well he could do it alone, he went to the hunter.

“How are you doing?”

“Yes. What.”

“Shut up.”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Judging by the atmosphere, it seems that the hunter has beaten him a lot.

If you don’t watch it, it’s a video.

You start off with a cowardly weapon, and then you’ll be robbed in bare-handed fighting.

The level gap is not the only problem. The reason the multi-year exiles are getting stronger is because of the experience they have left in the body.

If you have power, you know how to use it.

It adapts to the labyrinth system itself, including the stats.

It is not easy for a junior to defeat a senior with the same abilities.

Even just looking at the atmosphere, he is a first-timer.

It looks like he was beaten to death.

But where is the bottom stamina?

When I looked at my face, it started to growl.

Trying to catch Gao, who doesn’t already exist, is a gangster.

I peek at the hunter, and the hunter releases the omen.

“Hey. Where are you going to open your eyes? Don’t you?”

The dark-skinned giant quickly rolled his eyes. It seems that the taming is already over.

I think he probably joined over there like this, but he looks like a boss of some kind of organization, and he doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.

I solemnly started the interview.

“Hey, become our party’s warrior.”

The guy rubs his eyes. I don’t seem to understand what you’re saying.

A hunter helped by the side.

“This is our boss.”

“I will! I will dedicate myself to doing this!”

I replied with a chuckle.

“You’re very ambitious. I’ll let you meet your sister later. You’re the youngest.”

“Yes, yes!”

And before that, let’s start with conversion.

The goddess of chaos was happy and accepted the new cult.

* * *

There was a time of interrogation, not interrogation.

Our tallest youngest is the kind of person who shouldn’t tell us important facts.

The hunter tilts his head.

“The guy who claims that Labyrinth is a game of some world is the leader over there? It’s been 20 years?”

The hunter laughed as if it was ridiculous.

It was as if he had never heard of such a sound.

He rarely asks me for consent.

“Leader, I’ve been here for 12 years, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of such a thing.

The youngest child again insists that he heard it like that with an expression of injustice.

The hunter dismissed it.

“If you live long in this damned land, you’ll go crazy in different ways. It’s no wonder you can be so specific.”

The hunter’s anger is reflected in those words that sound like a little bit of chewing.

It’s an expression of feelings that I can’t stand to see this place as a game.

Is it because the life of an exile who is so far away to live seems ridiculous?

I smirked and scratched my cheek. The ranger in our party doesn’t know that exactly that case is right before our eyes.

This is why I don’t go anywhere

It’s like an easter egg. Very occasionally there are NPCs that appear with such settings.

An exile with a setting that was sucked in while enjoying it as a game.

This was also in gaming days.

Shall I be honest?

The first time I went crazy was when I met an NPC with that kind of setting in my 24th year or so.

I can’t even remember how much time I wasted.

My mentality was completely ruined.

I couldn’t stand it, thinking that it might be a case like that too.

I just lay blankly on the first floor and fall.

falling again

It was a repetition of that behavior.

In the end, he could not even press the game start button in the dark, so he was forcibly expelled to the labyrinth.

It was a trauma that was constantly weighing down a corner of my heart even when I barely got up again.

As much as I had doubts about it even before I met him.

It was a crisis that might not be able to recover.

It really was the biggest crisis.

what now don’t really care

What happens in despair isn’t just because the person’s mental powers are great.

I think it was ordinary.

Only time healed it.

If you can’t check it anyway, it’s best to just pretend you don’t know.

I’m human.

Always believe and act that way.

“Leader, why do you look so bad?”

The hunter looks at me strangely.

“No. No.”

Oh my, was it enough to get tears in your face?

“I think you know what it is. God, in that case, it’s candy. Sweets will soothe your heart.”

‘Goddess. This is before the kingdom, so there is no candy.’

“That’s a pity.”

I think the time has come to meet soon. I think it’s been about 20 years since the last time I saw it.

It’s okay if we should meet once in 20 years or not.

It’s fine though…

I guess it’s not okay.

“I’m sorry. I’ll take a break.”

The hunter is puzzled, but agrees.

He explained to the borrowed wizard what he had ordered and asked him to pay attention to it instead.

As soon as I entered the house where the girl was resting, I was immediately worried.

“Uncle? Why are you crying so much?”

Does it even sound like crying?

I’m really glad there’s no mirror.

If I had seen it, I don’t know what I would have thought for myself.

A look of surprise spreads across the girl’s face.

Get consent afterwards.

“Can I give you a hug?”

“Uh what? No why? But good. It’s perfectly fine.”

“Yeah. Yeah.”

A warm girl feels good when held.

It seems to be getting a little better.

As I hugged her tightly, I could feel the little girl’s heart beating.

“Dude, you know what’s so weird right now?”

“Yes, yes. Just a little longer. Let’s stay like this a little longer.”

yes i know

I have no reason to believe that I am a human being.

It’s just an excuse to protect my heart.

How do other exiles who live without such excuses survive?

No, maybe I usually have excuses that I can easily turn away from, but it’s more difficult because it happens sometimes.

Because I don’t have good tolerance.

I am silent. I cried without tears.

The girl hugged me without saying a word.

After about 10 minutes, I felt my heart sink a little.

It’s not the first time it’s happened.

mind falling to the abyss.

It’s something that every exile will experience at one time or another, and occasionally thereafter.

I take a deep breath.

I reassembled my mind again.

“Okay, I think I’m fine now.”

“Ugh, I’m not okay now.”

The girl immediately covers her face with her hands.

Yeah, it’s all obvious. Ears are red The flushed face is very cute today.

As usual, she has cute gestures and a charming face, so it’s so cute that it makes my heart stop.

Control your emotions. This is the swing bridge effect.

In the labyrinth, love is not to be taken lightly.

I only have 3 years left!

So I lower the shutter of my heart.

“Whoa.”

You look a little less cute now. thank god.

Then a hunter came in from outside.

A borrowed wizard is also present.

“Leader! It’s a big deal!”

“Well, why again?”

The wizard answered.

“Senior! We’re going to attack our camp from the other side!”

“Don’t even do that.”

If you think about it, it is Because those guys didn’t take over there just to block the road.

Seeing our youngest’s stupid expression when we went out, he didn’t seem to know that this guy was going to attack too.

it went well There’s nothing like a fight to blow your fucking feelings away.
