The Ruins Area


I wonder if its because the scenery had completely changed .


My dull thoughts that’s clear of any uncomplicated things had regained its color .


[Those ivies… are they edible…? Hmm?]


Something is coming .


[Booohh… boohh, bo hiyyooooohhh…]


Something spherical is floating towards me .


It’s a monster that look like an eye .


An enormous golden eyeball .


It’s deep golden pupils, which is proportional to the size of the eyeball, is moving about restlessly .


Suddenly, many arms grew out of its spherical body .


The appearance of the arms resembles to those of a human .


Busshuuuu…!


Acid is spouting from the tips of the protrusions scattered around its body .


As expected, the monsters here also spouts acid like that, huh .


[Hiiiioooohhh, ggiiyyooooooohhhh—!]


Suddenly, the monster released a high-pitched scream .


It looks like it’s howling .


Or is this just how it cries?


The eye looks like its having some little twitches every few seconds .


In those multiple arms that sprung out of its body, magic circles in the form of rings that were clad as they formed .


Those magic circle seems to look like bangles as they perfectly fit in its arms .


It’s similar to what the goddess was clad at that time when she stopped the quarrel of Oyamada and Yasu .


[]


I took the initiative on attacking .


[]


Pzzzzztt!


Bachichichi!


[Booyyyuuoooohhhh!]


The eyeball is continuously hit by paralytic shocks throughout its body .


It seems that the premature discharge of magic backlashed towards him .


It’s like that time when that lizardman back then blew up its own head because of backlash .


[Gggii, ggiiyyuuuuiii—]


The monster’s gigantic eye is opened wide as smokes fumed out of the white part of the eye .


[Ooouuggguueehhh…]


I’m patiently waiting for this monster to die .


The gauge I used earlier is about to be emptied out .


[]


The monster’s gigantic eye closed .


After waiting for a while, the monster finally died out of poison .


My level is still increasing .


[This is…]


If the level limit is not 999, would I be able to exceed Lv 1000?


I look around my surroundings .


[I guess I should look around the area for the time being . ]


I start searching the surrounding area while being vigilant for any danger that may show up .


I don’t know how far I should travel until I reach the upper grounds .


It would be good if I could secure a base for me to stay at for the time being .


I found some door-like objects along my search in this ruins .


However, all of them were tightly closed .


It won’t open even if I push or pull them .


There’s also no handle for it to be a sliding door .


[Hmm? This jewel—]


I have just noticed something .


I recalled the jewel in the leather bag I have .


[Does these doors require for me to inject magic energy on them?]


I decided to inject magic power in it .


The gauge in the jewel started accumulating the magic energy .


Ah, now that I think about it…


[Status Open . ]


Displaying my current status .


MP: + 31345/31713


With this, I can confirm the decrease of MP as I’m injecting it to this door .


I can now also keep track on how much magic energy I need for the gauge to fill up .


The gauge is now full .


Looking at how much my MP has decreased— about 1500 MP is the required magic energy to be injected .


The door then started to vibrate subtly .


It opened from the middle as the door split open to the left and right .


I went inside while keeping being cautious for any surprise attacks .


[This room should be… around 8 tatami mats wide?]


My eyes came upon a table and some chairs made of stone .


I can also confirmed some furniture-like objects here and there .


There’s also some kind of crude cloth that’s spread around the floor .


Was the a former resident of this place used to sleep there?


The place looks like it’s uninhabited .


I sit in one of the chairs .


[Ahh… this feels great…]


I feel like it has been ages since I last “sat down on a chair”…


Once again, I realize that I’m a child raised in a modern civilization .


[Well then . ]


I get up from my seat and went to the door .


The jewel had already lost its color .


I display my status again in preparation .


I will try injecting 1500 MP into the jewel in the door again .


The door closed along with its subtle vibrations .


[I see . ]


It’s necessary to inject magic energy for opening and closing of the door .


I inject magic energy to the door again .


As the door opened, I went out of the room .


I want to check how the other rooms look like .


The second room I went to was empty .


There are only crude furniture made out of stone similar to those in the first room .


The third room was also like that .


The rooms’ appearance were all same and it continued even when I have reached the seventh room .


But, the eighth room was different .


I’ve found them .


Humans — that is .


No, to be exact, two human skeletons .


[These skeletons should also be from disposed people, right?]


Both of the skeletons were wearing light armor .


These light armor looks quite old .


Guessing by how these two are dressed, I think they should be a man and a woman .


How long has it been since they were disposed?


The two skeletons were sitting side by side with the wall behind their backs .


It’s as if these two were quite close to each other .


I’ve also just noticed it but they were also holding the hand of the other .


They have probably taken refuge here as they run for their life .


There were brutal monsters roaming about outside .


They would be killed if they were to go outside .


They couldn’t go out of this room .


Having neither food nor water,


They have chosen to die in this place together .


There is no traces in this room that they have been in conflict at all .


They had simply accepted that they would die together .


[…that’s quite amazing of them . ]


After I voiced out my thoughts, I checked out in search of what they have .


rustle, rustle


This and that are different things . There’s no place for sentimental things in this kind of situation .


I have to search for something I can still make use of .


Even I might die in this place .


I have to search for something that may seem even a little bit useful .


The sword leaning to the side already had its blade chipped and cracked .


When it comes to the staff, the crystal part on the head of the staff is already broken .


[…it’s no use . ]


The clothes I’m wearing now, the school uniform and the cloak I’m wearing over it should be enough .


Moving in clothes I’ve already grown accustomed to is easier .


Most of all, the skeletons’ clothes was just as damaged as the other equipment they have .


I also don’t want to change into it, hygienically-speaking .


Hmm?


I noticed some kind of small pouch in the pocket of the skeleton’s clothing .

I can feel its weight as I take it out of the pouch .


Confirming the contents of the pouch…


[Are these… jewels?]


The pouch is crammed with jewels that glitter blue .


After looking around the contents of the pouch, there were some silver coins mixed in .


It may be possible to turn these coins to money when I’ve finally reached the ground above .


It would be nice if these silver coins were the currency used above ground though…


Anyway it is, I’m quite thankful I’ve acquired something worth of money .


Because no matter which world it is, money would always be necessary .


I went to the two skeletons and spoke .


[I’m sorry, but I’ll be taking these . ]


I put the pouch of jewels inside the pocket beneath my uniform .


But… I’ve discovered one important thing .


That perhaps, this room can be a safe zone when it’s closed off by injecting the door with magic energy .


It seems like the monsters here in this area can’t inject magic energy towards the doors .


Or is it that the monsters just don’t know that the doors would open if they do it?


Anyway, I could finally secure a bed for me to sleep peacefully in .


Thanks to my leather bag, I’ve also got an stable supply of food and water .


[With this place as my base, leveling for some time should not be a bad idea…]


I resumed my exploration in this ruins area while I was arranging my plans for the near future .


v


During my search in the nearby area, I’ve encountered another one of those spherical eye monster again .


It seems that I have not been noticed by that guy yet .


I target the eyeball and release from behind a building of this ruins .


I followed up with .


And when the gauge for paralysis is about to run out, I released towards it .


Before I could even repeat the combo for a second time, the monster had already died .


Great, my MP is fully recovered again .


It would be better to understand that I’m jumping levels because of the monstrous amount experience of I’m gaining from the monsters here .


Therefore, I want to raise my level as much as possible before I would leave this place and reach the ground above .


However, my skill level doesn’t increase that easily .


Well, the skill is exceptional even with the current skill level, so I can give up on leveling them .


In the first place, I’ve never thought that my skill level would rise again by how slow it’s increasing .


I’m under the impression that my abilities would quickly rise as I just increase my level .


I resume my exploration of this ruins .


The number of rooms I had confirmed had reached a total of 24 rooms .


You could see some regularity by how the rooms were arranged .


If the pattern on how they arranged rooms were followed, this should be all of it .


I choose one of the empty rooms and decided to use it as a base .


I need to take some rest .


When I have finished resting in the home base, I stand up .


[Now then, shall we start?]


Leveling up .


And thus, I started leveling up in this ruins .


It seems that this area is where those eyeball monsters had made its nest .


I continued killing the eye monsters in the area even if it’s just me alone .


About half a day has passed since I have started hunting monsters .


I can’t see any eyeball monsters any longer .


I went back to my home base and checked the jewel in my leather bag .


The original yellow-green color has not returned yet .


After confirming it, I proceed on leaving the room and went down to one of the areas where there are monsters left .


I kill the monsters in the lower area with the usual skill combo of mine .


After a while of doing that, monsters in that area also ceased to appear .


I returned to the base again .


This time though, the color of the jewel in the leather bag has returned .


The meal of the day is a block-type nutritional supplement and oolong tea in a PET bottle .


I’m quite grateful for the nutritional supplement .


The food’s packaging is the same as the ones I saw back in my previous world .


It makes me forget that I’m in a different world for a moment .


[Fruits flavored, huh…]


I unexpectedly quite like this . (T/N: not specified . )


[Chomp…]


First is to chew it lightly with my molars .


I feel like I bit something like a moist cookie .


[Nyom, nyom… chomp, chomp…]


The block was broken down in my mouth .


A unique fluffy sweetness spreads out of the block .


I could still feel the faint sweetness it’s releasing through the scent it gives off .


However, I feel that just having this feels quite dry .


Without delay, this is where I drink the oolong tea .


(T/N: Hazure Waku is not a food novel . )


[Gokun, kokkunnn… muu… pfuhhaaa!]


I could feel the astringent sweetness in my mouth stiffened .


It’s not bad .


The cookie-like dough flavor I had tasted in that nutritional supplement was easily swallowed away by the rushing liquids .


I may be far from what you can call a gourmet .


But, I can say that I unexpectedly like this kind of meal .


Having finished my meal, I chopped the paper box of the nutritional supplement into a thousand pieces .


It may be just a temporary way on dealing with things, but I’m now able to brush my teeth, even if the brush is hard to brush with .


I’ve installed one of the dragon’s bones in front of the door just in case that someone approaches .


I don’t think it would happen, but the possibility of a monster intruding here is not really zero .


Well, that bone alarm device I made is meaningless against that floating eyeball monster .


However, I think if it’s just against that eyeball monster, it’d be fine .


If it can really get in, some of the doors in this ruins would have been opened already .


Or so, I explained to myself as I fell asleep .


After a long time, I was finally able to sleep without worrying about anything .
