The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

Chapter 1: Supernatural Phenomenon

「Eh? Here is…」

A pure white space?

Just in front of me is a luxurious white desk and black chair .

There is no guitar type controller which was just in my hands a moment ago .

However, That doesn’t matter .

I was sucked into a tear .

While I was enjoying my game, Suddenly, A tear appeared before my eyes .

A cross-shaped tear, Which tore through the apartment .

In the tear, I had been sucked into a spiral of darkness, It seemed like a vortex .

Thereupon when I realized, I had found myself in this white space .

「A dream?」

I pinch my cheek… Ouch, It’s painful, This is not a dream?

I try shouting .

「Oi! Anybody there?」

Nobody reacts to my voice .

Also looking left and right, There is only spread out white space, Only my voice echoes in vain .

Am I the only one here?! That would be too scary!

For the time being, I should investigate the desk and chair that are just in front of me .

The desk is a thick square with the pattern of a chess board .

A miniature sculpture of a man and woman stood in every corner .

The miniatures have a fine appearance, it’s elaborate like recent figures .

They presented a man with a penis and a woman with a bulging chest .

The square desk, Including the sculpture that resides on it is cold, Like marble .

Next I examined the chair, Which had an armrest that was attached with black stones .

The backrest on the chair had countless sculpted faces .

The face sculpture of an eerie expressionless person .

It could probably be a realistic sculpture in Tokyo’s Museum of Contemporary Art .

The expressionless faces began to change one by one, I was scared .

The sudden change of expressions is a horror film-like development you want to stop!

The eerie black stone chair, Which the top and bottom were made in the shape of an elegant crown, It was gothic style . Which was attractive .

The design of the black chair itself wasn’t bad .

I try touching the expressionless face sculpture .

It feels slick but hard, Is the stone surface like steel?

Parts of the skin also have subtle irregularities .

The smooth texture of the eyebrows has also been reproduced .

It has the feel of a statue of Buddha, Since it’s eyes are closed .

Now, I move my line of sight to the square desk .

I casually look under the desk .

Hmm?

「Under the desk…」

There were trekking boot like shoes stained with blood .

「Why?」

Although it has a little blood on it, If you were barefoot would you wear them? I tie up the laces and wear the shoes .

The size is a little small, But I can wear them .

I check the feel of the shoe while tapping the front toes .

The ground that hit the tips of my toes felt like hard tile .

「Hard!」

The white floor’s surface is sturdily built .

Nevertheless such a thing doesn’t matter .

I sharply raise my line of sight .

「It doesn’t appear to be reality, Is this a dream or near-death experience?」

Such an unpleasant thing shouldn’t be…

I felt pain from the pinch, If this was a dream I would have woken up already .

Time for a reality check, Should I try to hold my breath?

I inhale with a snort .

I collect the air in my lungs and stop breathing .

Phew… I exhale little by little .

…That was about a minute? Phew that was painful .

*Puhaaaa*, *Gegogo*

It’s difficult living here .

In this white space is there oxygen and nitrogen in the air?

In a typical novel development God should appear here…

There is no reaction however, Just a simple desk and chair .

How the hell is this a different world summoning, Is this just a plain kidnapping?

Then who? Is the existence that can do such a thing God? An advanced intelligent life form? An Intelligent life form that likes to play tricks?

From the 7 . 3 billion humans on earth… By an advanced intelligent life form… Or was I just chosen casually?

Perhaps now, I’m in a spaceship? Is my body’s dissection done?

Was it detestable, Or too unpleasant?

However, Even nursing myself with delusions is no help…

Trivial thoughts swirl around in my head .

So I take a look around the white space slowly .

Should I try taking a walk?

After walking for a while I look back .

Right in front there’s the desk and chair… I haven’t advanced .

Though I walked in the opposite direction, I haven’t advanced at all .

I expected this to some extent, What meaning does this chair have? Do I have to sit?

Accordingly, I sit down on the luxurious armchair made of blackstones .

At that instant, A little space above the desk flashed .

Oh, There was actually a reaction .

The white space flashed in an instant and the color changes .

It repeatedly pulses White, Black, Blue And grey then starting over again .

The space stopped pulsing suddenly And the eyes of the faces sculpted on the chair which I was sitting on all open their eyes simultaneously .

~Eek! Countless goggling eyes stared at me .

My spine froze, I was paralyzed in fear .

Furthermore, A change occurred in the space that was pulsing a moment ago .

The space right now split and is leaking a thin green light .

The light which leaked out became stronger and expanded the spacial tear to the left, Right, Upper And lower parts .

Before long, The green light that leaked out changed into unknown characters .

Unknown characters overflow out of it like a waterfall .

「What’s this all of a sudden?」

Moreover, It’s projected in 3D .

「AR technology? Or is it 3D?」

Finally a Japanese character appeared .

『Do you want to reincarnate into a different world?』

The three-dimensional character floated .

「Japanese… Do you want to reincarnate into a different world? So suddenly?!」

The three-dimensional character floated from above the desk downwards .

Touch to choose 『Yes』 or 『No』 .

After choosing 『Yes』 the world you will reincarnate into, Is different from the world you have spent time in .

The world is in a different universe, Different dimension and Far off galaxy, Physical laws are slightly different .

The “Gods” and “The Multidimensional Worlds” have an influence on that world .

Including the local life other than you, There are Metastasis People, “Reincarnated” people exist but they are “Variants” that wander .

The language is of an unknown system, However when you reincarnate into a human form, The mind and body are reconstructed according to the different world, So rest assured .

However, Language And characters of different races will be unknown to you .

This is not a projector, These floating characters truly exist .

「This three-dimensional character…」 I stretch out a finger and touch a floating character .

I feel nothing, My finger slips through the character, It’s strange .

However selecting yes, Reincarnating to a different world, Different space, Different dimension .

That means it confirms the Multidimensional Cosmological theory?

M theory from the Super String theory’s 11 dimensions, Or is it different?

The inflation theory in which space endlessly spreads out is possible, There is also a high possibility of the existence of the bubble universe .

The universe similar to Champagne bubbles? Or something like that . After all Tegmark’s taxonomy is also possibility .

Thinking philosophically, There is also the Fictious Existence theory .

Well, There’s no helping it even if use my wide variety of trivia and modern science…

To begin with I was drawn to phenomena such as black holes that tear through physical space, Since I was drawn into this white space .

Since a gravity wave was able to be observed for the first time, A phenomena like this might be solved someday .

However, When referring to the floating character, Thick square desk And eerie chair, rather than a dream, It’s a phenomena happening in reality .

While strongly biting my lip, I taste some pain and with a small amount of understanding say “Let’s do it” .

Still, The body reconstruction… If I choose yes, What will happen to my body?

This isn’t the kind of “I think therefore I am” story .

It indicated that my memory will be maintained, However I still feel a little uneasy .

Oh, Is my present state the same as being dead?

If that’s the case, My choices are narrow…

If no is chosen just what will happen?

Only the 『Yes』 choice is explained, When 『No』 is chosen, Do I return to my original world not being dead?

If that is so, I have nothing .

I’m unemployed, Don’t have family that will worry either, My parents died in an accident when I was small .

The Oji-Chan I’ve lived together with all this time died three years ago and now I’m alone .

After the discharge three years ago, I became a jobless NEET .

I became lazy halfway through life as the result of money, I spent every day using up my inheritance .

So, I have no regrets in this aspect, But I still have a lingering attachment to entertainment .

To be able to see Games, Movies, Trivia, Anime And manga…

I can’t read web novels, Also I must abandon things such as swimming .

Thought recently I haven’t swum, Ah if there is a river or sea, It would be alright .

No more cigarettes, Also I might not be able to eat delicious things anymore .

However there’s no helping it, Even if I’m hesitant .

I’ll remain confined in this pure white space .

I don’t know if this is a trick from God, But an unknown door has opened in right in front of me .

I have nothing, It would be too stupid not to jump into it .

I’m not an astronaut or NASA staff .

A different dimension, Different universe, Different laws of physics, I’ll be free of unemployment, With such things can I challenge an unknown world?

Still, I who is unemployed was chosen from among mankinds 7 . 3 billion, “Hehehe” Is it strange?

Also Reincarnated people and Metastasis people have been indicated .

Well, More importantly I have to choose something .

Is the answer yes or no? One way or another .

Even if I say that, I’ve already made my choice .

Normally I should be filled with anxiety, But honestly my sense expectation is bigger than my anxiousness .

My childish sense of excitement was quickly supressed .

The character “Reincarnation” is drifting in the air

This isn’t a novel or a game, I myself can choose…

Being confined in such a pure white space, I wonder if I have decent judgement, I want to challenge the unknown world, And experience it myself .

Gauguin’s question is also there, Something that’s amazing awaits .

I decided to go to the world of the unknown, Leaving I stood up on the spot And perform a deep bow .

Nobody may see, But I may never return .

I sat down on the eerie chair and stretched out an arm to the floating 『Yes』 character .

At the fingertip, A *Pochi* sound was made when it touched .

~Uwah I felt the touch on the three-dimensional 『Yes』 character

A soft unpleasant touch similar to silicon or konjac .

Apparently important characters have a sense of touch .

After pressing, The characters including Yes and No start to disappear as they fragment .

Immediately after the characters disappeared completely .

Also from above a new alphabet and characters system fall like a waterfall .

Character groups flow from top to bottom And produce strange color .

It’s somewhat like a matrix, it’s fantastic .

The wide variety of characters and symbols create a Fibonacci sequence and a geometrical model, Which takes the shape of an unknown fractal flower .

The form of the flower is steadily changing, Changing from a flower and creating a waveform topology in the shape of a donut like wave .

It changed shape one after another, What is this? Wondering I look thoughtlessly .

Now the waveform changed from a mysterious wave and had morphed into a finely waved object .

The object moved freely in the air repeating irregular movement, Like a UFO .

And in that instant it drew a streamline arc .

As soon as i thought it disappeared as a wave-like object, Bursting open in front of me was a three-dimensional shape for the “Left Hand” and “Right Hand” .

The hand shape shines, While the light alternately pulses pale green and pale blue .

(TN: They’re not hand shaped, They’re shaped FOR hands, Like a plug or something is shaped for plugging in cords)

Under the shape, The characters “Please insert both hands into this space” were floating .

Do I insert my palms into this? I’ll do it .

I literally put both hands into the three-dimensional shape .

I hear a *Gacha* sound, My hands fit in .

Both hands were stuck in at the wrists and are unable to be removed anymore .

From both hands wafted a smell of alcohol, With a slimy feeling .

In three-dimensional letters was “Character Scan”, Or so it displayed .

In that instant — The mouths of the expressionless faces which are on the black chair open simultaneously .

Things like black tentacles come out from the mouths .

Is it black vines from a plant? The black vines wrap around my neck and waist .

In the blink of an eye, My body is fixed to the black chair .

(TN: You know what happens now… Somebody get the burly men . TentacleXBondage)

I’m helpless as my arms are still stuck in the hand shaped space .

Since I can only move my head, I can only watch as the mouths release the black vines .

–Then the expressionless faces myriad of eyes open and jump out!

I send my regards to the eyeball oyaji .

The eyeballs drift in the air, There is no cuteness, It only makes me feel sick .

The lower part of the eyeball is connected to the eye socket of the expressionless artwork on the black chair with a blood vessel like tube, It was extremely disgusting .

Nonetheless the blood vessel like tubes seemed to pulse…

Many eyeballs have begun to drift around me, Moving up, Down, Left And right .

The pupil in the center of the eye is continually reducing the dilation, As if it was a camera zooming in .

As the pupil dilated, The pupil emitted red beams of light towards my body .

It looked like the end, I put up my guard… In the end it was just imaginary fears .

There is no apparent pain, It seems to have been scanning me .

The eyeballs begin to make a machine sound *Pipipi* and began to scan up from my feet .

The red beam wrapped around my entire body .

As expected, It’s scanning me .

According to my first delusion, I wonder if i was abducted by an advanced intelligent life form?

When the red beam which was examining me is finished it disappears, A tear generates above the desk .

A pale green light leaks out, Much like a short while ago, The light becomes a group of characters like “Numbers” and “Numerical Formula”, They fall down like an avalanche And I disappear .

This is the same as a little while ago? Rather it’s slightly different? — Japanese language begins to appear .

(TN: lol more like English language ;>)

※Forcing Epigenesis Evolution※

※Hayflick Limit Forced Cancellation Completed※

※Pluripotent Stem Cell Hyper Proficiency※In Progress※

※Total Telomere Scan Complete※

※T loop and Apoptosis Suspended※

A DNA spiral helix is displayed within a group of pale green characters .

It was a nucleic acid of high molecular biological products that was double and triple stranded .

※RNA Perfection Scan Completed※

※Catalytic Sub-unit Deployed※

※Ribosomal RNA Common Ancestor Full Scan Completed※

※Genetic Repetition※Compounding System Analysis Completed※

※DNA Perfection Scan Complete※

(TN: Dear lord…)

What? Unknown characters and symbols were displayed…

Finally Character Scan has been completed .

I had thought those characters had appeared 「Nuo」

I unconsciously made a strange noise .

It’s because a completely nude figure of me had been projected above the desk .

At the same time, The hand shaped object stuck on my wrists disappeared .

I had also been freed from the vine like tentacles And the eyeballs which scanned me had returned to their origin in the face .

They had returned to the face sculpture that was on the black stone chair .

More importantly “I”, Became free .

But “I” have been reproduced on the desk .

Although no one is around, I’m still embarrassed .

Even the palms which practiced guitar had been reproduced .

Along with the belly fat…

Uwah, The size is the same And the amount of hair is the same too .

(TN: [うはっ、あそこのサイズも同いだし、毛の量も同じだ。]I believe [not sure] he is talking about his you know what size/hair but I’m not sure…)

It’s too realistic .

Also the belly fat has been reproduced at a size that feels full of weight .

Uuu, In my school days I had nice muscles…

Well, It can’t be helped, Recently I hadn’t been swimming in the citizens pool .

But this is regrettable, In the case of a beautiful woman, I would watch more carefully .

It’s an unpleasantly perfect picture, To the extent where it has exceeded photography .

That person was another “Me” .

Chapter 2: Character Creation

–Hmm?

I tried to touch my newly appeared body but my hand just passes through .

Apparently it hasn’t materialized .

It’s transparent, But realistic .

It looks like AR technology that exceeds holographic .

There’s another realistic body underneath it .

『Character creation after reincarnation has begun』

Please select race .

As such, A three-dimensional character is displayed .

「It looks like a game… Excellent futuristic type… Is it my own character’s creation?」

I raise my hand to touch the floating item “Race Selection” while muttering to myself with a smile .

In that instant, The surrounding white space is transformed into a huge three-dimensional screen .

From the white space, A world abundant with nature is being generated .

As if drawing a picture on the huge campus .

Unique creatures were being created in succession, Just watching it was delightful .

A wide variety of character species gradually appear in front of my eyes .

When I extend my hand to the character and touch it there is a strange feeling and The information for the character that I touched is displayed in a window .

A realistic 3D image .

Can it still be called an image if you can feel it? Although while I think doubtfully, It moved, The character virtually walked .

~I memorize the sight of it moving in excitement .

When you move the left or right hand the window moves .

This seems to be like a Sci-Fi movie and My hand is like a controller .

Even the subtle touch of a fingertip is taken into consideration .

Even if I order it with my voice, It recognizes it properly and moves .

~Suuu This is realistic .

It surpasses the experience of Xbox One Kinect… . Even wearing the PS4 head-mounted VR display is completely exceeded by it .

Is this the feeling of VRMMO’s in novels?

There is a work which made full use of three-dimensional images in a movie but…

On the screen, Data is transferred and returned in various ways, I choose racial information to select one to examine .

Human Race, Beast, Elf, Half-Elf, Lava Khan, Dark Elf, Half-Dark Elf, Sebari, Sebupu

~Phew . Ogre, Goblin, Mermaid, Gnome, Dwarf, Ancient Dwarf, Half-Dwarf, Draconic and Lizard Man .

Ape Man, Demi human, Giant Bull, Cyclops, Sensible .

Vampire, Dhampir, Kushanan(?) [クシャナーン], Ssali [ソサリー], Lamia, High Elf etc .

So many to choose from, It will take a considerable amount of time…

I continue moving my left and right hands, confirming a racial figure .

Quickly, I move my hand .

Surprisingly there’s also a cockroach race among them .

It reminds me of a manga called Tera- something .

(TN: Terra Formars – thanks uzzi)

「Among these you can choose any race, There’s no need to worry this degree of flexibility is freedom-packed」

I choose Human race to try and The details appear .

I touch again to get more details .

And then .

※Notice※Please Read※

This appeared .

※Attention※

Racial characteristics are incorporated as new permanent skills .

The racial characteristics you are absolute, Although the racial characteristics need to be related to the race, There are a large number of choices .

Not everyone has permanent skills? What!?

The details for the Human race are displayed afterwards .

Race: Human

Average Lifespan: 48~

Racial Characteristics: Crest of Growth

Permanent Skills: None

(TN: Damn… Humans there are pretty short lived and have like no skills eh?)

※There are a variety of tribes in the Human Race .

It is mainly known as the Human Race and It’s said that there are many man-made tribes .

The territory of the Human Race Tribes are distributed over a considerably spacious area, There are Human Race Tribes even in the far distant lands .

But there also exists unexplored land that mankind doesn’t inhabit .

The Human Race who boasts the largest population, Has an aristocratic society with slavery at the core and A monarch such as an Emperor or Empress at the apex .

And when there is a war between countries, A power struggle between royalty and nobility runs rampant within, As a result a civil war develops .

And the country being destroyed because of such a situation constantly occurs .

In large Human cities, There are a number of Guilds, Guilds develop while constantly improving themselves in friendly competition .

It can be said that the Human race’s biggest advantage is it’s freedom of profession choice .

It’s said that the Human race has the favor of 【Skill God Refoto】, Perhaps because there are almost infinite number of fighting professions .

Furthermore, Depending on ones efforts, Ranking up a fighting profession is possible .

It may be correct to say that the diversity is infinite . ※

According to this description, The society is similar to a middle ages from the modern times .

Nevertheless, The Skill God Refoto is the god of employment?

Anyway, For a precious different world reincarnation, Choosing the same Human race is uninteresting .

Next is the detailed information of the Goblin .

I select Goblin .

My character model is limp and Deformed .

The face resembles me a little, But it has transformed into the form of a goblin monster with an ugly face .

「Uha… Ugly… Too realistic」

Race: Goblin

Average Lifespan: 15??

Racial Characteristics: <Strangulation><Seminal Increase Beast><Intelligence Decline><Divine Protection of Todogu Gogu>

Permanent Skills:<Genealogy of Ogre><Goblin Evolution>

※Goblin-Tribes are also scattered in the continent and inhabit as much land as the Human Race .

Also Goblins with different delicate appearances, Shapes and habits exist . Basically there are a wide variety of Goblin tribes in unity . An area is ruled by a monarchy, The ruler of the area is either a Goblin Lord, Goblin King or Goblin Emperor, Depending on the rival male population .

It will probably be similar to the Warring States turbulent period when the militaristic faction develops .

In some areas the goblins, Thanks to a Hobgoblin or High Goblin, Are able to completely exterminate the Human and Demi Human races in a certain area . In some areas there also exists goblin politics .

Most of the goblin tribes believe in Demon King Todogu .

The ecosystem can be spread frequently through breeding, As it is scattered, Their greatest strength is that they can easily spread in anyplace . ※

A Goblin King seems strong .

The politics of Goblins are also very interesting but…

Even so, It’s rejected due to appearance .

Next, I choose a Vampire .

When I choose, The character image changes from a Goblin appearance to a human appearance .

It looks Human in appearance, But the canine teeth are sharp and protruding .

The skin is pale and The eyes have changed to a deep red .

「Red eyes and pale face」

Moreover the belly fat has completely disappeared .

It seems that the entire body’s muscles have been enhanced .

(TN: lol making that buff character)

I try looking at the details .

Race: Vampire

Average Lifespan: ??

Racial Characteristics:＜Secretive Demonic Night Race>:<Blood Sucking>:<Undying>:<Shapeshifting>:<Physical Ability Increase>:<Magic Ability

Increase>:<Blood Magic>:<Hyper Intestinal Absorption>:<Solar Flame Body>:<Light Extinguishing Body>

Permanent Skills:<True Shinso Bloodline>:<Demonic Charm Eyes>

※It’s said that the blood-sucking God Rugunado created Vampires, But it’s not for certain .

In the Human race society, Vampires are ridiculed by the Humans and demi-humans as a “Demonic Race” and Are always a target of oppression by them .

They’re not complete immortals, But as long as their weaknesses aren’t targeted, They are an immortal undead .

If you can manage to use <Blood Magic> you can use the shapeshifting ability to change your appearance .

Their greatest racial characteristic would be the physical ability and magic ability increase, Compared to the ordinary human race they have overwhelming physical abilities and magic abilities .

However, If they do not ingest blood, Plasma deficiency will lead to mummification .

When they mummification is completed, Capability declines extremely and The appearance changes entirely to that of an elderly man or woman .

However, Mummification doesn’t destroy the body .

Vampire society is formed secretly underneath human society .

『At any rate, The blood of the human race is a gourmet food… The people who intend to destroy us, We’ll baptize in sharp fangs and blood as a demonic race of darkness』

(TN: Oh no! I feel my chunni acting up again…)

With those words it’s a scary description .

But it’s a demonic race? That’s good, I like the dark feeling .

With the shapeshift ability, Can you really change your form?

To try, I touch .

※Shapeshift Ability※

Using <Blood Magic>, It can transform itself various creatures of darkness such as bats and crows, The amount of transformation creatures increase with growth

It was displayed in three-dimensional characters as expected .

I also touch the Secretive Demonic Night Race .

※Secretive Demonic Night Race※

Darkness magic can be used to absorb darkness attributed attacks .

Oh~ Darkness attribute magic absorption? Nice .

Next I try blood sucking .

※Blood Sucking※

Sucking blood has a weak hypnotic effect on the partner, Personal physical ability is slightly raised and Magic ability is slightly raised, However, After a day

passes without sucking blood, Capability slightly falls, After seven days pass without sucking blood, Mummification gradually occurs .

Oh…

Although abilities rise, Sucking blood is something like a weakness?

Next I touch hyper intestinal absorption .

※Hyper Intestinal Absorption※

The intestines consume all nutrients and neutralize toxins, Also Magic Energy absorption rises significantly .

Having their own enteric bacteria, Vampires able to adapt to all environments .

Wow, They have great intestines .

I also touch the likely weaknesses .

※Solar Flame Body※

When in contact with sunlight and ultraviolet light, It spontaneously ignites, After bathing too much, The body turns to ash . The Undying ability is unrelated .

※Light Extinguishing Body※

Upon receiving a light attribute attack, The portion which is attacked burns, If it is a powerful light, The entire body is annihilated . The Undying ability is unrelated .

There is also a complete weakness with these characteristics .

Next I touch permanent skills to check it .

※Permanent Skills※

This is a skill that is constantly invoked .

It continues to be activated lasting for eternity .

I see, This is like a passive skill commonly found in games!

Next, I touch True Shinso Bloodline, To check it .

※True Shinso Bloodline※

Charm and Mental strength + Revision .

When the blood of virgins is acquired, The power of the True Shinso Bloodline is released, Which is said to have been produced by the Blood-sucking God Rugunado .

After releasing, Skill fusion integration is stimulated, The integration has two steps, In which Charm and spiritual value is increased and you acquire an exclusive skill .

※True Shinso Bloodline※

~Huh

The power of the True Shinso is released after drinking the blood of virgins .

To try and drink the blood of virgins seems difficult to me .

(TN: I wanted to write “Seems hard to swallow” but…)

I check the following .

※Demonic Charm Eyes※

Charms a person with a lower spiritual level or under certain conditions .

This is not absolute, When conditions overlap, Rate of success rises .

Intelligence, Charm and Mind are related .

When looking at it this way, Vampires have a lot of weaknesses, But also high abilities .

Vampire or… . .

「This race seems interesting, It’s one of the candidates . 」

Next, Let’s see Dhampir .

My floating three-dimensional character starts changing somewhat .

The fangs have disappeared, As well as the pale skin .

The appearance is entirely similar to a human .

As for the surplus fat disappearing and the thin muscular body, It reminds me of my high school prime .

The muscles seem to be building up the same as the vampire .

Details…

Race: Dhampir

Average Lifespan: ??

Racial Characteristics: <Secretive Demonic Night Race>:<Blood Sucking>:<Undying>:<Physical Ability Increase>:<Magic Ability Increase>:<Hyper

Intestinal Absorption>:<Light Extinguishing Body>

Permanent Skills: <True Shinso Bloodline>:<Demonic Charm Eyes>

※The Dhampir is more rare than the Vampire .

The creature that inherits the properties of both the Vampire and Human race .

It’s called a Half Vampire or Dhampir .

The restriction of blood isn’t different from a vampire .

It is immortal, But easily assimilates into the human race because it’s semi-human .

However, They’re targets of suppression and persecution by the Human race in the same way as the Vampire, They can also walk during the daytime .

Because they have the same appearance as the Human race, Their real nature is rarely discovered . ※

「Oh…」

It’s like the Vampire, However shape shifting is impossible, There are also very few weak points .

Dhampir is good but…

I liked the Vampires from older movies .

But blood is a problem .

I don’t want to attack ordinary people and take their blood .

It would damage my conscience .

Or would my “Heart” change?

In order to live, I may change mentally .

I check other races while having sweet wishful thinking .

Well, After all I would like to be in contact with other people and Would also like to be special .

This is the only thing I have .

If it means to stop being human…

My free life has begun anew, I don’t mind it particularly .

I’ll live sucking blood, Psychopathic Cheers!

I choose the Dhampir with no lifespan .

And touch the OK button .

When it touches .

My realistic three-dimensional model revolves in place and moves, I make a bow .

Below it “Dhampir race was chosen” is displayed .

Also, Characters of other races which have been displayed three-dimensionally, Like a waterfall cascade down and Disappear in sequence .

While the characters cascade down, The following characters floated .

※Next please select four extra skills※

※Note※Please read※

The skill is special, Which makes it an extra skill .

It is a specific skill that is extremely rare .

Furthermore, An extra skill has an affinity .

There are times when it chains with another skill and other extra skills, Causing multiple links and Will evolve with growth, You’ll also have to learn special skills to derive variations

Because just possessing even one extra skill, Makes you a very rare existence, Please think and act accordingly .

However, The precious extra skill is only a story in “The world of a person”

There is an infinite variety and great diversity in the world .

However since you don’t know the world of reincarnation schedule, Please learn it .

(TN: I’m lost here, Help?[ 但し、貴重なエクストラスキルも、それはあくまで“人の範囲”での話です。　千差万別、多種多様な世界。])

※There is a time limit※

※Please select the extra skill within 15 minutes※

「There’s a time limit…」

After the message, The character is displayed like a waterfall again .

A digital clock was displayed in the right corner .

And, All the skill names are displayed .

「In any case, Extra skills are pretty rare, Can I choose four from the beginning or…」

Oh, It’s for life after reincarnation, If I’ll benefit from it I’ll choose .

From the large amount of Skill names displayed in three-dimensional space, I quickly select skills I may be able to use, I chose quite a lot .

(TN: It’s amazing how many motrin I’m gonna need after this ^^)

Two minutes have passed .

Most of the contents haven’t even been seen .

There are more to choose from, But they are countless and It takes time to see details individually .

(TN: Two minutes!? That was more like 15 minutes of trying to figure out just what the hell you were saying! >_<)

「To choose from among these…」

First, Will be “Language Comprehension”, Oh details…

※Language Comprehension※

Raises thinking ability, To the point where you can understand the laws of a language and have a sense of understanding for the characters . It’s not absolute, But you have an understanding to a degree . Such as being able to write, If a vocal cord matches, You may be able to speak .

It says, Apparently .

「It’s a translation skill, I’d like to be able to speak to non-humans…」

I choose Language Comprehension as the first one .

Then, The number of extra skills displayed decreased a stroke .

Every time you choose, Candidates disappear?

Then, Is the selection the remainder from a different guy?

Then the next is, This? It’s detailed…

※Crest of Light※

An emblem of a cross is carved into a part of the body with a spirit of light . Absorbs and nullifies Light attribute magic . Also improves mental tolerance, Which prevents deep mental pollution . After it’s triggered automatically, A bell is sounded and purification is promoted . After growth, I learn an intrinsic light skill under certain fixed conditions

Oh?

Accidentally triggering it perchance?

The weakness of the light attribute, Which is one of the weaknesses of the Vampire race is eliminated, By a selection I made on a simple whim .

「I choose Crest of Light」

The moment I decide, The floating character looks like it’s tinged with light .

And the cross emblem had appeared on my left chest .

It’s a clean white cross emblem .

It’s just around the heart .

I see my status .

Oh, Incredible .

Isn’t the race name also different?

Details .

Race: Lucivault

Average Lifespan: ? ?

Racial Characteristics:<Torrent of Light Darkness>:<Blood Sucking>:<Undying>:<Increase Physical Ability>:<Increase Magic Ability>:<Hyper Intestinal Absorption>:

Permanent Skills: <True Shinso Bloodline>:<Demonic Charm Eyes>

Extra Skills: <Language Comprehension>:<Crest of Light>

※Has a completely human appearance, However it’s a new race that is descended of the Demonic Vampire race . Lucivault will become a rare endemic race . No racial relations, As soon as the body’s magic energy exceeds the tolerable amount the race will be only one step away from evolution .

The degree of race evolution changes with how the Lucivault spends this period of time . ※

With light magic, It has become a new race .

Furthermore, Race evolution?

The “Light Extinguishing Body” racial characteristic disappeared .

The weakness has disappeared as expected .

Moreover I can now use the inherent light attribute magic “Crest of Light”…

Is it because it’s a new race that “Secretive Demonic Night Race” is missing…

“Torrent of Light Darkness” was newly added instead .

Promptly, I touch “Torrent of Light Darkness” .

※Torrent of Light Darkness※

It has the attributes of light and darkness in the soul and Expresses the torrent of the soul . Darkness and Light magic become practicable . Absorbs and nullifies Darkness and Light attributed attacks . Spiritual resistance slight rise, Abnormal condition resistance slight rise . However it becomes easy to influence the spirituality of light and darkness .

~Oh Light and darkness magic, It absorbs the light and darkness Wu~?

I’m also interested about the weakness like, “Easy to influence”, But oh well .

「That extra skill is amazing…」

This has changed, I wonder while touching “Blood Sucking”

※Blood Sucking※

Sucking blood has a strong hypnotic effect on partner, Every time blood is sucked ability slightly improves .

After five days pass without sucking blood, Abilities slightly fall .

After fifteen days have passed without sucking blood, Mummification gradually begins .

Blood Sucking was also evolved, As expected .

Period without sucking blood has extended from three days to five days, The weakness has also been eased .

I had hoped that it disappeared secretly, But it doesn’t seem to go so easily .

(TN: Dude doesn’t wanna be a true vampire, then he doesn’t even wanna suck blood, Tch picky bastard might as well just be human)

But the weakness to light has disappeared .

Just extra skills .

Without complaints the second has been decided as this .

After this seven minutes have passed .

The extra skills displayed decreased .

I choose from among them .

I was interested in the name “Chain Factor”

The details are being shown .

※Chain Factor※

A chain mark is carved into the part of your body where you choose and It’s possible to shoot a chain out of the place of the mark .

By continual use of the chain it grows along with the person’s growth .

The chain’s properties are similar to “Steel” but the substance is made out of “Spirit”, Without this material the <Chain> wouldn’t be able to exist .

In addition, Under the influence other skills and growth, A variety of trait changes can occur .

When it’s acquired, “Chain Handling” the fighting profession, Is also automatically acquired .

「Nothing is unable to be penetrated? This is also good」

For the third extra skill I quickly choose “Chain Factor” .

By the way, I put the chain mark on the wrist of my left arm .

Oh?

When the chain mark was added to my left wrist the cross mark on my left chest changed .

Many chains are entangled around the cross .

「It’s detailed…」

Ten minutes have passed, There is only five minutes left .

Then it came to mind, Immortal’s Magic Eye .

This seems to excel in remote manipulation, Such as intervention, Using Charm naturally aligns with this .

When I touched, The details were written .

(TN: No they weren’t, Don’t lie)

I’m interested, But it’s rejected .

As for the skills remaining…

「This is…」

The Cerebral Demon Spinal Cord Revolution details .

※Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution※

First, A separate critical period is caused indefinitely . Significantly raises intellectual power and judgement, Autonomic nervous system and Sympathetic nerve, It develops and exercises the parasympathetic nerves by rearranging them abnormally in a good way .

The benefits for the motor system in general because of the multiple corrections are enormous .

Permanent skill <Innate Magic Talent> will be added automatically .

When I touch Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution,

※Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution※

→？？？

??? That is, In the future, I can memorize anything I want?

??? Even if I touch there is no reaction .

It seems compatible with Physical ability enhancement .

What is this “Critical Period”?

I understand the parasympathetic nerve . When I’m stimulated it operates .

As for the autonomic nervous system, it is directly connected to the sleeping and living rhythm . It’s related to stress, Or it’s supposed to be .

With this skill, Can stress be reduced?

Going to a different world, The tough mental demand is inevitable .

Lastly, I choose this .

The time limit had been reduced to three minutes .

I touch the OK button .

When I do, My character model expands .

The status has been displayed, So I check it .

Extra Skills: <Language Comprehension>:<Crest of Light>:<Chain Factor>:<Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution>

I finish confirming my status .

As “Innate Magic Talent” has been added, I check it .

※Innate Magic Talent※

Fighting Profession + Revision . Growth revision of overall ability . Increased magic absorption rate .

It’s that little . Growth revision? I wonder what Fighting Profession + Revision is?

※Fighting Profession + Revision※

Proximity and magic, Revision increases growth rate of two Fighting Profession systems .

Hehe, Even If I touch there’s no explanation, But this appeared .

Rather than all Fighting Professions, Is it only two?

Still, It quickly grows, I’ll learn it .

Lastly, “The size of the character model can be modified” Was displayed .

There doesn’t seem to be a time limit .

I try playing with it immediately .

Oh? Uha! Such a thing…

I can even play with that size .

An, To tamper with… This, Big D**k, This is unreasonable

I reset it to normal size

(TN:… . )

「Gohon」

(TN: Gulp?)

Although nobody saw, What is this strange feeling…

To tamper with that size, What would happen?

I think it’s okay, I’d have to be pretentious .

But, For who do I bluff…

Moving my hand I increase my height and Reduce my width, After all, I return to the same height as in the beginning, Finally I increase my height slightly .

Incidentally, My original height was 179 centimeters .

Therefore, 180 Centimeters has long been desired .

With this, It’s completed .

「I’ll go with this」

I don’t know if the numerical value of Strength and Charm is high or low, But is the world similar to a game?

And the 20 year old has become…

It seems to have regenerated to 14 years old .

After everything is decided, 『Begin reincarnation?』 Is displayed three-dimensionally .

The characters “Yes” and “No” float below it .

Yes or No .

I silently touch “Yes” .

In addition, A character appears .

『After reincarnation, Please check your pocket』

The moment the character was displayed, The space tears .

A huge whirlpool of darkness is visible ahead of the tear .

「Huh, My pocket-」

My words disappears half way into the air .

It sucks me into the whirlpool of darkness, While I shrink and constrict . Also the white space all around is sucked in and disappeared .

Chapter 3: Surviving In a Different World

Hmm? Something cold is touching my face…

「Water?」

I touch my cheek while opening my eyes.

「Ek, It’s pitch black…」

I pressed “Yes” just a short while ago.

Did I reincarnate into another world?

I mean, Where is this?

I’m confused and it’s pitch black.

Is this a cave?

While lying down I touch my body. [1]

What I touch seems to be the clothes which I was wearing until just a little while ago, And I don’t feel pain anywhere.

Incidentally, I’m wearing a nerdy T-shirt that has “Eat Shit!” printed on the chest. [2]

My body and clothes are alright.

I’m a little relieved.

For now, I should get up.

I put my hand on the ground and stand up.

The pitch darkness in my vision doesn’t change.

What happened is the white world became a world of darkness completely afterwards.

For now, Let’s make sure.

I stretch out my hand in the darkness, There seemed to be space earlier.

Cautiously, I also move my foot out.

I pushed my foot forward carefully, While I reach my hand out in the darkness as if trying to grasp at straw.

And then, While my hand was proceeding, Something touched my left hand while I was moving it sideways.

The feeling of a chilly rock came from my fingertip.

With my left palm, I feel the surface, As if trying to read Braille. [3]

It seems like a rock wall, Except, Is this a small cave here?

I walk forward while touching along the left wall.

It’s too dark and scary…

However the cold feeling from my left hand is a real rock wall.

Though it’s cold, I’m thankful.

I move forward in the darkness carefully.

While touching the wall with my left hand, I was slowly depending on it.

「Ah-!」

I unintentionally yell while my posture is broken.

The wall to the left disappeared, And my left hand soars while I fall down.

When it’s so dark how could I not fall down.

I put my hand on my knee and stand up slowly.

I’m afraid the support of the wall will disappear.

「Everything is okay, For now I have no choice but to move forward…」

I mutter hoping to deceive the world of darkness.

I pushed my foot forward to the front.

After several steps, While moving forward in the darkness my body suddenly sinks this time–

「Huh?!」

I fell and rolled down while my voice fell flat.

–Soft, Soil…

The place where I fell down seems to be like the ground with soft, Wet soil.

It seemed to be a steep slope or something.

「This is a cliff, What happened?」

However, My knee was only scraped a little this time.

I’ll be careful from now on.

I stood up from the soft ground a directed my attention to the darkness.

Light?

Looking up, There’s a strange light.

The faint light is floating in the darkness.

Small dots and something are shining overhead.

I hold my breath unintentionally.

「It’s light…」

Because the faint light was next to the wall, It’s illuminated.

A vague faint light.

This is… Moss? Is the wet moss and fungus on the damp rock glowing?

I try to touch it.

I use my fingertip to scratch at it and My fingertip was illuminated by the moss.

The moss is sticky and smells rotten.

This, Is it rotten cabbage?

It seems like some kind of slime mold type creature…

Is it a glowing moss fungus? I’ve seen that on National Geographic on TV

It’s a strange light.

Each piece of moss only has a small light, But the countless small lights gather together and produce a larger light source.

The ceiling of the cave had small points where the moss converged scattered about and it shone like the starry sky.

The starry sky is close, It seems out of place.

When my eyes got accustomed to the dimness, The entire cave became visible.

The steep unevenness of the irregular cave was displayed.

The light becomes dimmer and seems to be very faint at the inner part of the cave.

Though the brightness isn’t certain, I have no choice but to keep going to the inner part.

I walk in order to be led to the light.

The narrow cave was winding.

The rock cave is narrow to the extent that a person can just barely fit.

I moved through the narrow snake-like cave tightly while my hands touched the cold rock surface of the left and right walls.

Though there’s only a few small dim lights, It makes me relieved.

I’m relieved, However my finger still smells bad. [4]

After walking for a while the cave changed from a narrow cave into a wide cave.

The faint fluorescent glow remains on the ceiling and wall, I wasn’t hurt because it still continued to the inner part.

Then further ahead, At the end of a bend, A bright light comes into view, Appearing and disappearing

For a moment I was stunned.

「The…–Surface!?」

Finally the surface, It’s the surface Daaaa!

I can get away from this dark cave-!

I start running in joy towards the bend in the path which showed the light.

But as I approach the light I notice the situation is strange.

「What?」

I hear the sound of an intense fight.

Isn’t it the sound of a human with a thick accent’s battle cry?

The light illuminated a large shadow, And many shadows wavering on the wall. The silhouettes moved waveringly, Like a play of shadow pictures.

I look past the bend cautiously.

This is not the surface here…

It’s a spot where little green monsters were fighting against a red monster with a large body.

A dark red monster with a huge body.

There was a strong impact on the dark red monsters back.

The muscles on it’s back abnormally bulge and swell.

Seeing it feels like seeing a pregnant woman.

To give off such an impression the muscles have developed very much.

I get the feeling it’s like a red version of Superman…

A sharp pointed stone pyramid was grasped in both of the dark red monsters big hands. It fought against the little green monsters while skillfully handling

the stone pyramid.

The light of a torch which was randomly thrown on the ground projected the fight between the red and green monsters clearly.

「Guoo! Gububoo, Bugyu!」

「Run away, Dangerous」「Run away」「No way, Leave scene」[5]

I could make out the words the green monsters were speaking, But I don’t know what language the dark red monster was speaking.

The green monsters have different armor patched together on each part of their bodies, And in their hands they swing a long sword and a long spear

The dark red monster was visibly injured, But on the other hand the result was that it enraged the dark red monster…

The green monsters are certainly being killed one by one.

They were being pressured by the dark red monster.

In addition, It tore the arm off and ate one of them.

Far from being pressured, It was more like a situation of predator and prey.

The dark red monster gave a growl and swung it’s big arm around.

The sharp pointed stone grasped in it’s big hands approached the chest of a green monster. The tip of the sharp pointed stone — Was sucked into the chest

of the green monster.

The green monster screamed in pain.

But the dark red monster didn’t care. Furthermore it pierced deep into the chest, And it lodged the stone pillar into the green monsters chest while raising

it. The dark red monster moved it just as it was to it’s nose and smelled the head of the green monster.

Does it sort them by smell?

Then, The dark red monster complained about something.

「Goabofa–」

Roaring, It pulled up the sharp pointed stone. “This fellow doesn’t accommodate” Throwing as though it’s a German.

It threw the body away up into the air.

The dark red monster kept searching for more prey, Moving it’s large white eyeball. The large eyeball immediately caught sight of a green monster that was

resisting.

When the dark red monster found convenient prey it opened it’s mouth wide and gave another roar, Jumping instantly–

Again it pierced the sharp stone pyramid into the abdomen of the green monster. The stabbed green monster was still alive and hit the dark red monsters

large jowl, Screaming and struggling desperately.

However, The desperate resistance was futile…

The dark red monster bent it’s large muscular arm and raised the green monster over it’s head just like a little while ago.

The muscles in it’s large arm give off the feeling that it’s a lump of rough rocks crowded together.

It’s amazing in close combat.

The dark red monster moved the green head to it’s huge mouth while the blood dripped from the green monster and streamed down the muscular arm.

After smelling the head, Surprisingly– It bit into the green head.

While it’s devouring, The sound of bones breaking resounds to the place where I’m hiding.

This is dangerous…

Even if I run away, Can I make my way back through the dark path?

But– I want that torch.

Ahead the cave probably still continues, Though I’m afraid to approach the monster, But if I take flight and run…

If I take the torch and dash left, I feel like I could pass through.

The monster should take care of the other monsters.

But if it’s a dead-end, I’m done for

While in the middle of thinking about this, The dark red monster moved.

Ha, Again, The dark red monster is skewering a green monster…

It seems it will come to this place soon.

I pray that the path continues and decide to run.

*Goku* I swallow my saliva.

I send out a faint voice 「Alright」 It’s short and enthusiastic, While I rush up to the spot where the monsters are fighting–.

「What?」 「Is it?」 「Human」 「Bugoooo」

The first to notice me were several green monsters.

However, The dark red monster ignored me.

Or perhaps, It didn’t even notice me.

Yes, A chance.

The dark red monster kept attacking the green monsters.

The green monsters are being killed one by one without a chance to breathe.

I picked up the torch which fell by chance and escape into the depths.

Yesssss, Success!

I run to the path on the left, And dash.

Where the path continues, The ground is uneven and is hard to walk on.

However, The matter is, He who fights and runs away may live to fight another day, I will run away now!

Running desperately I escaped.

I don’t want to meet that sort of huge dark red figure.

Therefore I ran, And I also ran up a few slopes.

I kept running, Enough that the fire of the torch which was blazing almost went out.

Fortunately where I ran the cave continued ahead. When I passed through the steep uneven surface, It turned into a downward slanted slope.

I’m still worried about behind.

I go down the slope without breaking my pace.

I ran for about thirty minutes?

I notice that I’m not out of breath at all, Even though I was running.

「Oh?」

While uttering a sound I stopped my foot while thinking of this question.

I look toward the back and confirm the monsters didn’t give chase.

I decided to confirm myself some other time.

The fire of the torch I have in my hand still burns waveringly.

The light of the torch projects my shadow to the wall of the cave.

A huge shadow was created.

Hii– In that instant I was scared by the shadow moving.

Foolish.

But, This stamina that doesn’t come from my heart…

Okay, I’m not a human being.

The new race “Lucivault” Is the name for my race.

「Oh…」

Now, I remember.

Okay, The floating character I saw before reincarnating said to look in my pocket.

I check my pocket right away.

Several coins were on a piece of folded paper in my pocket.

I open the folded paper and take a look

□■□■

The area where you stand now should be a zone called Ose Beria prairie, Griffon Hill, Or a Dragon Cliff.

□■□■

–Hmm, Is it a grassy plain, A hill, A cliff?

I’m stunned at the sudden incorrect information, But I was patient and kept reading

□■□■

There is 【Royal Capital Gromhim】 of 【Ose Beria Kingdom】To the south.

There is 【Labyrinth City Pernette】 To the east.

There is 【Llsack City】 To the west.

If this is different, It’s a singular transfer failure phenomenon.

As some amount of errors are unavoidable, Thank you for your understanding

This is the same as with the universe…

(TN: It’s saying that if he wasn’t in a prairie/cliff/hill it was a failure during his transfer, And some amount of errors are unavoidable, This holds true about the

universe as well)

There are several coins, Expect three silver coins and three large copper coins.

Generally, The currency in that area is divided into Grain Iron < Iron Coin < Small Copper < Large Copper < Silver Coin < Gold Coin < White Gold Coin <

Large White Gold Coin

Ten Small Coppers = One Large Copper.

Ten Large Coppers = One Silver Coin.

Ten Silver Coins = One Gold Coin.

Ten Gold Coins = One White Gold Coin.

And, One hundred White Gold Coins = One Large White Gold Coin.

The rough currency value should be such.

Incidentally, It’s possible the coin is not usable in distant remote areas, So please be careful.

□■□■

This, Is this Large Copper thing 1,000 Yen?

Then, One Silver Coin is 10,000 Yen.

If so, The money I have on hand is 33,000 Yen.

That Large White Gold Coin is in a different figure…

Because it’s a hypothesis, It could be completely different too.

In addition I take a look at the sentence under the character.

□■□■

Finally, There is a small privilege.

The ability to see the Status and Skill Status of oneself by speaking or silently speaking, To see status to some extent of an approximation is a privilege.

This gives an explanation of simple skills and the like, But because this isn’t a skill it only gives brief descriptions.

Because other people cannot see the screen of the simple status display, There’s no need to worry.

Because your brain is just showing it to you as a simple status display.

In which case, Have a good life

By the way, When the last character is read this paper automatically–

□■□■

At that moment when I had finished reading, The paper burnt with a *boom* instantly.

「Nuo!?」

Preparing cheap tricks like a spy movie…

This experience…

「Is the God who let me reincarnate looking? Then answer me!」

I raised my voice uncomfortably.

But there was no answer, And my voice echoes through the cave.

Is there no reaction to anything?

It prepared the white space, And why was it me?

Oh, There’s no helping it even if I think about it now.

It was me who chose yes for my own reincarnation.

“God is a great author, And human beings are only the Directors”

What a troublesome phrase.

I grasp one of the Copper Coins in my pocket in anger while grumbling that phrase, Forcefully manipulating my emotions.

I turn the Copper Coin with my thumb and flip it into the air.

I catch the coin, Is it heads or tails? I check the coin.

Heads?

I bring it closer to the fire and observe it carefully while pinching it with my index finger.

It’s a rough make, But the outline has been made to look like a persons face.

A horse like shape is drawn on the back.

I move my gaze to my arm while checking the coin.

My gaze lands on a watch.

「–Oh」

That reminds me, I completely forgot about the existence of my watch.

The second hand is moving properly.

When I push the small button; Dazzling light, Like a light I haven’t seen in a long time.

「Torch…」

I didn’t need to take the torch so desperately…

Because this watch is shock-resistant, Waterproof and solar powered, It should work in this world, The watch says 8:00AM earth time.

Even if I understand earth time it’s worthless…

~Sigh, If the passage of time is similar, Then shouldn’t I be able to use it to measure time?

Besides, More than anything I’m glad about this light.

And, Let’s pray that this shiny coin is useful someday.

「But can I really make it to the area where humankind is…」

This is the underground world, Furthermore there are an enormous number of monsters.

The burned paper said there was a Labyrinth City to the east but….

That place is surely different than what it said.

This, Seems like a failure

It was written that there was a singular transfer failure phenomenon, However…

A singular point, Was it the phenomenon that happened in the black hole?

I don’t understand it in detail, Still…

The coordinates of the spot to appear from reincarnation were messed up?

I mean, Why let me reincarnate in the area after the location failure…

It’s too different from the different world life I imagined.

Oh, I should be happy I didn’t get transferred to a famous stick RPG like in stone and get annihilated.[6]

「I don’t know the way, And there’s no map either」

The anger I controlled earlier rises and boils with my doubts.

However, The dark cave exists as a reality, So I am patient.

Haa…

First of all, I should look for something I can do.

Then I remember the characters “There is a privilege”.

I decided to check my status.

「Status」

While speaking in my mind a translucent screen appeared in front of my eyes.

Name: Shuuya ・Kagari

Age: 20

Title: Drifter of Another World

Race: Lucivault

Fighting Profession: Chain Handler

Strength 3.0

Agility 4.0

Endurance 3.0

Charm 7.0

Dexterity 5.0

Spirit 7.0

Luck 3.0

Current Status: Calm

「Ohhhh, A strange screen is displayed…」

The translucent status screen is like a realistic game.

I wonder, Do other people really not see the glowing characters?

It was written on the burnt paper that it was easy to understand and projected by my brain.

During reincarnation was my brain tampered with?

I had a body reconstruction…

Oh well, Anyway, Now I am living and have a proper consciousness.

I then touch the character displayed on the status screen.

It’s displaying I have the title of Drifter of Another World.

I touch to see more details.

※Drifter of Another World※

The title is carved into the soul which crosses dimensions from another world, The space-time attribute can be obtained.

The space-time attribute… I don’t understand it.

First, I’ll give priority to what I understand.

「Skill Status」

Acquired Skills: None

Permanent Skills: <True Shinso Bloodline>:<Demonic Charm Eyes>:<Innate Demonic Aptitude>:<Torrent of Light Darkness>:<Blood

Sucking>:<Undying>:<Increased Physical Ability>:<Increased Magical Ability>:<Hyper Intestinal Absorption>

Extra Skills:<Language Comprehension>:<Crest of Light>:<Chain Factor>:<Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution>

It was displayed after all.

Physical Ability Increased and Magical Ability Increased.

Naturally I don’t understand the magic, Magic is on the back burner

In that respect, I may be able to understand Physical Ability easily.

Though I felt I was running at full strength a short while ago, I felt this abnormal stamina, And I’m not short of breath at all, Instead my body feels lighter.

There’s a possibility that the sun and gravity in this different world are different from Earth…

If it is not so, And I assume the gravity is almost the same as Earth, There is a possibility that I obtained the physical ability of the Vampire lineage.

I roll up my T-shirt and check my body.

My arm and pectoral muscles have become built and larger, And my abs are ripped too.

But it doesn’t give off the rough muscular feeling of a body builder.

My upper arm is certainly more muscular and flexible than before.

Sufficient lean muscles.

「I should test something」

I put the torch against a rock crag and look for an area that doesn’t have any stones.

There were fist sized stones, Fallen on the ground.

Picking it up, I throw it at the wall–.

–The stone hits the wall.

Though it was a casual throw And the dull *thwack* of a blunt object sounds.

The stone I threw broke and part of it had sank into the rock wall.

「Ha, Incredible!」

A stone becomes a powerful weapon.

It seems Increased Physical Ability isn’t ordinary

Because I don’t have a weapon now, I’ll just take this stone.

It’ll be usable in an emergency, Like the monster from a little while ago.

I pick up another stone and drop it into my left pocket.

I decide to confirm a skill once again, Whether other things can become weapons.

.

Chapter 4: Playing with Chains

「Skill Status」

A list of skills is displayed .

Among them I try to touch <Chain Factor> to check it .

※Chain Factor※

→？？？Skill

Touching Chain Factor, I try to see the details .

※Chain Factor※

Chain Factor’s effect evolves in conjunction with personal growth and other skills .

This may cause a mutation in the nature of <Chain>

Mutation in the nature, How? While thinking of this question, I repeatedly touched the displayed character [1] with my finger, Though there was no further description .

Oh well, I have no choice but to comprehend it myself little by little .

? ? ? Appeared with the skill, Do I have to learn it?

If that’s the case, Is it similar to the skill system in a game?

It’s very puzzling, But let’s try it .

I nodded, Staring at the chain mark engraved on my left wrist .

「Try!」

The Status screen is turned off .

I held out my left hand– and the <Chain> which I prayed for shot out!

I heard a shooting sound, And the <Chain> really shot out from the chain mark on my left wrist,

The <Chain>, Which extended out, Pierced the ground about two meters ahead .

This “Chain” seems to be sturdy .

It really appeared from the mark engraved on my skin .

–Strange .

It feels like it’s made of several iron threads twined around into steel . [2]

While looking at the extended chain I developed such an impression…

Even while pulling on the chain that came from my left hand, The tip that’s stuck in the ground won’t return

「Oi, Oii . 」

The chain disappears instantly with a thought of “Disappear” .

「Fuu」

It’s good it disappeared, Being stuck in the ground like that, I wouldn’t have been able to get away…

How ironic .

Still, The chain is usable .

Can it be shot according to image?

I imagine a short distance… And the chain soaring .

The distance, Measuring by eye is about ten meters? It stopped .

(10 meter = 29-ish feet)

「It’s like this in the beginning?」

I thought it would have flew further…

Because of the short distance I’m a little disappointed .

However, While repeatedly shooting and retracting the chain I spontaneously smile .

Good — The initial velocity of the chain .

The initial velocity is disgustingly fast, This is good .

I keep producing the chain while turning my hand all around .

Little by little, The range seems to be extending slowly . Though it seems to only have the specifications to fly straight .

Hm? Did the mark of “Chain Factor” change? It might be my imagination…

「Oh, The range increased and the speed rose, When using it the limit grows」

With the physical ability of this chain I could fight with that monster from a while ago .

After I confirmed the effectiveness of my new weapon my energy grew excited .

I took the torch from the wall and started walking step by step into the darkness .

Even with a torch the eerie open cave doesn’t change . The moss and mushroom that was still shining slightly on the ceiling of the cave was visible .

Eh?

While walking, I confirmed the ceiling had become lower . The light is close, But does the cave have the same atmosphere as a while ago? There’s no wind, But the gloomy, Humid air drifts .

The damp air fills my lungs . It gave me a feeling sort of like “Gloomy” .

The gloomy damp cave leads to a slanting bottom . The dark world spread out, And the mouth of the abyss seemed gapingly open .

Quite the entrance to the underworld . It feels as if it’s inviting me .

「I have no choice but to advance first…」

I muttered with a small voice .

I continued using the “Chain” to wipe the uneasiness from my heart .

The chain pierces the horizontal wall and ceiling each time .

Chain, Chain, Chain, Chain, Chain, Chain, Chain, Chain — Chain .

(TN: Grinding like a boss)

Every time I advance the chain is being increased .

「Haha」

I laughed for the first time in this different world .

At any rate, It’s fun with this <Chain> .

I think I became too anxious, That’s not to say that I was going insane . Because of the power of the chain for my first strange ability, It’s slightly fun

Fuhahaha, Mr . Chain, You’re usable aren’t you!

「This is great Haha」

Is this state of mind because of the circumstances or insanity, I wonder?

Nevertheless, I get distracted from these feelings and, Oh the <Chain> .

I pull the chain and dangle while it’s sticking into the low ceiling, And use the chain like a swing .

I returned to having a child-like mind and I was enjoying myself .

While doing such a thing intently, I walked through the cave with stone debris and intense irregularities scattered underfoot .

I aim at the ceiling again and extend the chain .

…Hey .

The chain only shoots through space and doesn’t stick, Is there no ceiling?

It appears the ceiling turned into a large space somehow . The shining mushrooms have also quietly disappeared from the area .

My feet suddenly feel heavy and I stop walking .

I use the torch to cast light on my surroundings .

I do it quickly and anxiously . I think it’s a very large place that my chain runs out of length, Stopping me from being able to play with it .

In such a situation, Distracting myself with even trivial things is a good thing .

Outside the ring of light illuminating my step…

The dark space seems to stretch endlessly in all directions .

I walk with grave steps .

In front, The dark cave spreads out… Eerie quietness and darkness haunted the place . My heartbeat and the sound of the torch burning echo slightly .

Haa, This kind of place…

You could say the degree of difficulty was raised too high suddenly .

Staring at the eerie cave, I slightly regret for a short while .

So frustrating, I have the power of a new race .

I gather my courage and push forward with grave steps . But the thin mask of courage fades away immediately .

The vast space of darkness is dominated by an eerie silence . The freezing darkness assaults me and wraps everything entirely .

In this dark space, It feels like my entire body is being swallowed .

I fall into such a ridiculous illusion . Just in the presence of darkness, I feel an intimidating air, As if from a powerful monster .

The pleasantness from earlier seems to have disappeared completely . Phew… To be honest I’m afraid, I hope there is nothing .

I also turn on the light from my watch, It made it brighter… Damn, Since I can’t see the sun, I can’t charge it and I have no idea when I’ll be able to get out of this cave, I’ll try not to use the light from my watch as much as possible .

I’ll endure with the torch .

I think I have a miserable and frightened expression on my face right now .

I’m alone in such darkness . Furthermore I’m in a strange looking different world .

It’s exceedingly scary . I have no idea where a monster might come from and it’s terrifying!

In the solitude of my heart, I shouted for help .

Is this the feeling of my SAN value decreasing?

(TN: Sanity level)

Also the torch’s shaking and flickering contributes to anxiety, Because of the solitude I seem to be going through intense emotional ups and downs .

Nevertheless my walking pace isn’t reduce, I walk earnestly . The large space seemed to have become smaller gradually, I can see the rock surface on both sides .

I advance straight through there . The rock surface seems to have disappeared and a few diverging caves seems to appear .

「Which cave do I continue into…」

There was a big cave to the right and left, But I decided to walk straight without entering them .

I advance through the wide space .

Then – – From where I just passed I heard a strange noise . Rustling like *Juroro*

I get an unpleasant feeling–

Turning around I see the forms of weird monsters . Monsters springing out from holes to the right and left .

My spine freezes unconsciously .

「Haa, What on earth is this」

Holding up the torch carefully, I see two long tubes in the shape of a V .

「Eh? That’s not a tube?」

What seemed to be a tube was a group of eyes .

The group of eyes is actually a compound eye, Like a fly or dragonfly’s eyeballs .

(TN: Don’t ask me how he got a tube from that)

Ugh, Gross .

The “Eyeballs” densely packed together form something like an extended vertical V-shaped tube, It was moving here and there with a *Giyoro* *Giyoro*

(TN: \_(0_0)_/ )

There’s certainly a lot of eyeballs packed together, And they move .

The collection of creepy eyeballs stares at me at one point…

Under the V-shaped eyeball tube, It has a trunk like body similar to a slug and a caterpillar, And it made a *Nyururu* . And it had many legs like a centipede connected under the body .

There’s the trunk like body, And legs .

Seems like a slug and a centipede were combined .

The centipede made a *Kasakasa Juroro* … Weird noise while it sprang out of the hole .

It seemed to have seen me as food and came near .

Uhee, I hate it . Though it’s movement is slow . It’s appearance is weird, And the Centipede’s movement speed is slow .

Phew, I’m a little relieved . I might be able to defeat this .

I put the torch down, Taking the stone in my pocket, I aim and throw .

The stone hits the centipede in the eye . With a *Bushi*, The strange sound of an eyeball being destroyed is echoed .

Good, This feels good .

I continue throwing successively . When several eyeballs were crushed by the stone-throwing, One side of the V-shaped tube of the eyeballs collapsed and it stopped moving .

Is it dead?

But such centipedes appear one after another . The weird *Jurororo* sound kept increasing .

All together, I’ll kill them . Fortunately, There’s countless stones and rocks which collapsed here .

「Hyah!」

(TN: Sound of him exhaling while throwing)

There’s a strange tension, But I pay no attention to it . I pick up a rolling stone at my feet and send it hurling . [4]

I pick up and throw, I pick up and throw, Because everything is going fine I maintain the strange atmosphere and keep throwing .

*Bushi Bushi Bushi*, The strange sound of collapsing echoed through the area . Midway I remember I can use <Chain> . Making the chain extend, I pierce through to kill the centipede . A hole appeared on the centipede, And white bodily fluids started to spread around where it was crushed . Lots of corpses start piling up .

They stopped coming out of the holes on the left and right already?

Then, Feeling a little relieved– .

※Pikon※※<Throwing> Skill Acquired※

Did that sound come from my mind?

The sound echoed inside my mind in a high-pitched tone and The red characters ※<Throwing> Skill Acquired※ were displayed .

It was a strangely pleasant sound . The strange sound I heard in my head… Was the sound of a skill acquisition .

It really feels like a game, But it’s real . In my previous world, It would certainly be counted as an illusion and an auditory hallucination .

But here it’s different .

The feeling of my actions earlier comes back, And is sharpened .

Oh, This feeling…

I feel like I’ve always known the <Throwing> “Skill”, And I know the movements . If that’s a way to put it…

「It’s a strange feeling」

As for the skill for throwing stones, Is it because I killed a considerable amount of centipedes?

I have lingering thoughts about it .

「Gururu」 「Garuugau」 「Shuu」

This time it’s the sound of an animal from the front and back .

Animal? The sound of an animal howling echoes from the front . The corpses of the dead centipede seemed to have attracted animals to come and eat the dead flesh .

The animals voice from behind seems to have been aimed at me .

I pick up an extra stone and stuff it into my pocket .

I made up my mind and turned around toward the back .

One eye appeared in the darkness, And another eye appeared a little later . The pair of eyes shined .

「Gururuu」 「Shuaa」

The animal voices and shining eyes kept increasing .

…The light of the torch illuminated the animal’s form .

The figure was of a wolf or a dog, Like a small dog in stature . However it’s mouth stretched sideways strangely . Like the length of a ruler could enter, And it revealed countless saw-like teeth in it’s strange mouth .

(TN: Imagine a dog with an alligator mouth… or a crocodog…)

Saliva drips from it’s teeth . Dangerous, I wanna escape…

However, Even if I run away, It’s movement seems fast because it’s a small dog, And there’s three of them . I hear the centipedes corpse being chewed on behind me .

I have no choice but to take the initiative with a stone here . — Ugh, Phew, I throw it like a javelin . However, because of the effects of the <Throwing> skill, There was no wasted movements in the snap throw .

(TN: I don’t know much about baseball, But I believe this is a throw they use in baseball?)

Leaving my hand smoothly, It flies . The stone hit the first dog with the torn mouth directly in the head .

One and two .

Unlike the time the first slug was knocked down, It feels like I’ve become a professional dart player and it seems like I’ve become a professional baseball player . Of course, It’s not because I’m a professional player, Though it feels that way because of the exquisite control in the flexible wrist snap .

(TN: Slug = Centipede)

Continuing, It hit the body of the dog next to it .

How did that happen? It was to the extent where it was able to penetrate .

Unconsciously, I took the natural posture . (TN: For throwing)

Because of the effects of the <Throw> skill .

The dog with the torn mouth which was hit on the head collapsed to the ground immediately . And the dog with the torn mouth which was hit on the body trembled and groaned while falling down .

I succeeded in defeating two monsters . There is only one remaining . I had a short moment of joy .

The dog with the torn mouth arrived right beside me immediately .

Opening the torn mouth widely to bite me, It showed it’s blade-like saw teeth which piled up from the roof of it’s mouth to it’s snout .

That’s dangerous!

I quickly swing my arm .

I moved my right arm to prevent the saw teeth in it’s torn mouth, And to shake the dog off .

The rough saw teeth directly hit my right arm intensely which I shook . It deeply cut from my right arm’s wrist to my elbow .

Blood sprayed .

Painfullll!

However, The dog with the torn mouth which hit my arm was blown off to the side and crashed into the wall, Falling to the ground . Leaving the small body twitching .

The dog with the torn mouth stopped moving, As it died .

「Shit! Too much pain!」

My cut arm throbbed . After letting out a pain-filled voice I picked up the torch and ran away to the depths . It’s unrelated that I avoided the dead mouth dog .

「Painfulll!」

I let out a weird cry while running . I clenched my teeth to endure the pain .

What, I’m a vampire… That was scary and painful, Great .

I was prepared to some degree, But pain is still pain . Oh, Whatever, It was painful… But it’s not painful anymore?

The wound was already gone by the time I looked at the arm I felt pain in . Swinging my arm- .

「It’s not painful…」

Blood is still there .

「Wow…」

Taking back what I just said, This Undying ability is great .

Thinking carefully, Earlier, Although I only swung my arm the dog was blown off and died .

And I’m not short of breath or out of stamina, Even after running all this way . The Vampire lineage is too awesome .

Hyuhoo

Nevertheless, I suffered a few wounds, And my mental state… Is that of an unemployed soft-hearted Japanese .

Just in case, I’ll take a stone .

「…Hey, Its…」

After thinking in that way, Two dogs with torn mouths, Just like a little while ago appeared and blocked the way .

「Garuruu!」 「GuuuGau!」

In a hurry I stop running and promptly throw the torch I had at the dog with a torn mouth .

Simultaneously, The dog with the torn mouth sprang forward .

「Yaba!」

At the moment when I was going to try to escape to the rear and run– .

※Extra Skill※Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution derivative skill condition was satisfied※

※Pikon※ Acquired Skill <Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed> Invoked※

When the words sounded in my mind– .

<Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed> Is displayed in red in the top left corner of my vision .

Jumping back almost instantly, I feel the throbbing pain in my mind while simultaneously understanding the skill .

On the one hand, The dog with the torn mouth which attacked, Crashed head first into the ground, Fracturing it’s teeth and causing it’s head to twitch while it swayed .

「My head hurts, But–, I was able to avoid it . Is my abnormal speed due to a skill?」

I under sand the skill, But I haven’t become accustomed to it yet .

The unsteady dog slightly moves .

I have no time to feel the headache, Now is a chance . Because there’s a time limit to the speed provided by this skill, I must hurry .

I direct my left hand towards the dog with the torn mouth and take aim .

「Ikeeeee」

At the same time as my shout, The <Chain> simultaneously shot from the chain mark on my left wrist .

The body of dog with the torn mouth trembled repeatedly, Bearing it’s broken fangs, Opening it’s mouth wide .

In the mouth, My <Chain> was drawn in .

The chain pierced the roof of the dog’s mouth . Penetrating the brain and continuing straight . Shaking and rotating the dog’s body .

The brain matter scattered all over the surroundings, While the head tore off mid-air and flew somewhere .

–Still not finished . I run

In the state where the chain is extended straight, I began running towards the other dog with the torn mouth .

I was able to understand the effect of the skill, But also, Was able to actually experience it .

The <Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed> skill which I acquired a short while ago is able to raise my speed abnormally .

Approaching the dog with a torn mouth in an instant, I used the momentum of running . Kicking the dog with a torn mouth in the belly like a soccer ball .

Due to the force of the kick, The body of the dog caved into the shape of the character ‘He’ (の) .

(TN: I believe that’s it…)

The body of the dog with the torn mouth floated in the air for a little while, While letting out a voice that sounded like a small scream . At the same time, My right arm clutched the stone from above, With all my strength, I released it from my hand vertically .

The fist sized stone sank into the head of the dog with the torn mouth . And the head of the dog collapsed completely . Thereupon <Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed> released automatically .

「That skill, Incredible…」

An effect still remained, The thoughts in my mind became strangely clear…

While having clear thoughts, I felt heat coming from inside my head . The heat gradually became more intense . As I discovered that it’s being spread to the back of my neck and body . It rapidly spread to my spine from my head, It felt like the bone was charged with heat .

Unpleasant… Rather the bone…

「More, Inside… It’s hotter inside…」

It’s a strange feeling…

The image of the bloodstream where the blood vessel was, Boiling hot energetically until it affected the sensitive nerve that connected the brain and the spine appeared in my head .

At first I had a terrible headache, But now my body aches . Anew, My body is being changed…

While digesting such a strange feeling, I stare at both hands and think deeply about the changes happening to my body .

[1] I’ve been using the word ‘Character’ in place of letter, Seeing as it’s referring to Kanji, Comparable to a word in English, Not a letter . Just wanted to let you guys know .

[2] Like how rope is several fibers twined around to make it sturdy and flexible, Several smaller pieces of iron (wires) twined is much stronger and flexible than a single large piece .

Chapter 5: New Power and a Determined Heart

I was able to obtain the skills <Throwing> and <Cerebral Demon Speed> .

<Throwing> I was able to understand, but as for <Cerebral Demon Speed>, I haven’t felt it so far……

“The inside of my body feels like its changing……”

My voice is excited, and it leaks out .

In this world skills seem to be acquired by one’s actions .

I pick up the torch I had thrown, and bring the flame closer to my own body, look at my feet and hands, touching my face .

Nothing has changed, they look the same .

<Cerebral Demon Speed>……

It’s an ability that raises my speed limit .

I can intuitively understand the skill, I’ll try confirming it .

“Skill Status . ”

A semi-transparent skill appears before my eyes .

Skill Status .

Acquired Skills：<Throwing＞：＜Cerebral Demon Speed＞

Permanent Skills：<True Shinso Bloodline>：＜Demonic Charm Eyes＞：＜Natural Demon Ability＞：<Torrent of Light Darkness＞：<Blood Sucking＞：＜Physical Ability Increase＞：<Magic Ability Increase＞：＜Undying＞：＜Hyper Intestinal Absorption＞

Extra Skills：＜Language Comprehension＞：＜Crest of Light＞：＜Chain Factor＞：＜Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution＞

While playing with the status screen <Cerebral Demon Speed> is derivative, it’s related to the <Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution> extra skill .

※Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution※

→＜Cerebral Demon Speed＞

→？？？

??? is the same as <Chain Factor>, is there something I can learn after this?

I touch <Cerebral Demon Speed> . I look at the details .

※＜Cerebral Demon Speed＞※

Certain conditions are required to activate .

Constant noradrenaline and adrenaline secretion are required in the brain .

Permanent brain and spinal nerve network grows and blood vessels continue to increase, explosive physical speed is obtained .

After using the skill, physical speed is drastically increased for 20 seconds .

Consecutive use is impossible, there is a 20 second time lag .

An explanation was provided regarding the skill .

So I close the translucent window .

After all it seems to be a speed increasing skill . There’s a 20 second time lag .

Even so, blood is clinging to my right hand .

I try to shake it off blood but the blood clings stickily .

“–Blood, speaking of blood……”

I observed the blood coating my right hand as I mutter quietly .

For me, this “blood” is necessary .

“If I don’t consume blood, I’ll eventually mummify . ”

Possibly, even if it’s monster blood, is it all right?

I try licking the blood on my finger as a trial .

“……Un . ”

Except–it’s delicious .

I quickly lick up my finger .

The blood makes a good feast like this……

I feel that blood is supposed to be “tasty . ”

That means, in the end, it probably effects my mind and thinking?

Probably, it will be so .

As I was able to replenish the blood, after the five days my ability will begin to fall, so it’s necessary for me to replenish to “blood” from monsters and even animals .

Speaking of vampires, if I want to unlock the permanent skill <True Shinso Bloodline> I need to drink “virgin blood . ”

I confirmed it before transmigration, and I check it again .

I touched <True Shinso Bloodline> under permanent skills .

※True Shinso Bloodline※

→？？？

The liberation condition of ※True Shinso Bloodline※, requires virgin blood .

The power of the true vampire ancestor is released by drinking virgin’s blood . In doing so the two phases evolution of “Ultimate Magical Power” is completed on this occasion .

A true ancestor suggests a founder with those words……

When transmigrating, it also mentioned the blood sucking god .

Apart from that, a simple question passes through my head .

Is only one drop of virgin blood enough?

Does the person I drink from die?

Does the person I drink from become underlings?

Or else a little blood is extracted, even if blood is sucked I may be okay .

And, it’s simple, but various question are floating through my mind .

It’ll be understood if I suck blood, I think .

Ma, first of all, get someone who is ready to die……

The first person you try to suck blood from “May die”……

So, the partner might die .

“……Haha . ”

I seize my face with my hand, and leaked a dry laughter .

I’m half disgusted with the cruel thought I had .

……As I thought, my mind seems to be changing little by little .

“Is it because I tasted blood?”

I asked the dark cave .

Of course, the dark cave does not answer .

Tsu, at this late hour . It was me who chose it in the first place .

Furrowing my brow, I open my eyes wide .

First I clench my fist tight and put power into my arm, I strike the wall next to me with my fist .

A dull sound echoes in the cave .

A small stone falls from the light shock .

My hand hurts……

There’s a trace of bright red blood on the wall where I struck my fist, cracks spread out from the area I hit .

It’s an enormous power . The power of the vampire lineage .

Though the current family is the Lucivault .

But, there’s pain in my fist, and I’m bleeding .

In order to experience the sense of pain .

……My first is sore and aches .

However, the reality is that the wound on my fist is quickly healed .

It all happens in front of my eyes, it’s genuine reality .

There’s only me in the darkness, I stare ahead into the cave .

I stretch my hand out in the darkness, again, I close my fingers into a fist like I’m taking hold of something .

And, again, when I open my palm, I make a fist .

If blood is necessary I’ll take it in .

This isn’t the old me anymore . Even more I’ll “Become Stronger . ”

In this dark place, in this unknown world, I do not change .

What I imagined, was it considerably different?

I will adapt to this dark underground world, not giving up……

“I’ll survive–”

I don’t know whether it is the result of repeated thoughts, but I felt greatly refreshed .

I grasp the torch, and advance into the depths of the dark cave .

◇◇◇◇

It showed up as 6:00 when I looked at my watch .

There’s rocks and stones scattered in large quantities here .

I pick it up .

When I pick up the stone, I try to get the feel of it by throwing it using <Throwing> .

I try throwing while running, and extending the chain .

However, the dark cave still spreads out further .

The torch light, behind…… . I wonder how long it is?

I walk while carrying such a worry .

The cave gently slopes down .

I noticed it being slanted .

I go down the slanted slope .

The light of the torch illuminates the area around me .

Hoo, it’s man-made .

Advancing along the slope, the design of the walls and floor of the cave changed .

I want to see it more clearly .

Bring the torch close to the wall, I stare .

This is certainly made by an intellectual being .

There are traces of chiseled portions and having dug .

I go down the slope touching the wall which is changing every moment .

I walk for a while, and the cave changed to a completely stone corridor .

The ceiling and floor is composed of square stones, closely packed without a gap . The stone walls are similar to Japanese castles .

Furthermore, the stone passage advances forward . Then, I discover that there’s a shelf carved on the right hand wall . A small and a finely worked artistic figure are on the shelf .

It’s similar to the ancient Egypt of earth, Mesopotamia, stuff which harks back to Sumerian civilization .

It’s surely is the trace of “some civilization . ”

I pick up the small statue with my hand, and get a little excitement .

When I was going to return the statue to the shelf, a light was seen in the back .

“Oh . ”

I leaked a sound .

Do creatures live there?

While ruminating such a question over in my head, I toss away the statue I picked up, and run there with the torch . There’s a small groove on the wall, torches are inserted into the grooves at fixed intervals .

The torch light illuminates the corridor clearly .

Gently sloping down, it feels like continuing down in a spiral .

The torch I have seems to have burn out, and I throw it away .

It’s bright here .

I descend the revolving corridor rotating around in a spiral .

But, this corridor……if it’s like an illusion like walking inside a snail’s cochlea then I’ll be walking for eternity .

There’s no fatigue, but like this, walking round and round, I’m getting tired of it .

Then it changed .

The spiral stair case which seemed to continue endlessly, in order to comply with my wish, changed from a gentle slant to a steep slope .

But, it changed too much .

Before sliding……the steep slope changes going down .

Because the uneven ground goes down more here and there it become like steps, so I go down using the steps .

A few slide down like Ishizaka, I discovered an iron door on the inner side .

An old rusted iron door .

There’s a handle to open the iron door, but it seems to be locked and no matter how much power I use it doesn’t budge and inch .

The door won’t open .

“It can’t be helped . ”

With words of acceptance, I give to iron door a kick with the bottom of my foot .

The hollow iron became dented, and a hole the size of my foot appears . A large gush of sand flows out from there . As the sand flows the force increases .

–Oh, dangerous .

The force of the sand continues to increase . In the end the iron door is defeated by the pressure of the sand and bursts open . A great deal of sand flows out then, and a fast flowing stream of sand has been born .

I’m submerged in the sand, I repetitively pierce the chain above, and somehow manage to keep my posture . But, I can’t go against the flow of the sand, it flowed down the spiral corridor so that I surfed down on my butt .

On the way, I discover additional doors—yet the river of sand doesn’t stop .

But, being the state where I’m being pushed by such a force, all of a sudden the spiral corridor came to an end .

With a *don* I fell onto the hard ground with my butt .

Itetetete .

As for the place I was pushed from…there’s no slope, on the way it became appearance like a cut corridor .

The exit makes a heavy thunk sound, it’s filled with a large amount of sand .

It’s dangerous . (Or isn’t . ) I recovered my vigor at the thought of being buried alive .

Therefore I look back behind .

And, here–

“Aah, it’s wide……”

A large space spread out there .

It’s ancient shrine-like remains .

The ceiling on this side is low but rises as it goes deeper . If I went inside the structure would gradually spread out diagonally .

Deeper in the shrine where the ceiling rises, I can see a lot of big stone pillars lined up in order to support the pressure from above .

The resemble big Greek columns at the same level as the Parthenon .

A red light illuminates the pillar .

The light of a torch .

……Mm? A sound……

A sound like a bunch of footsteps comes from the right .

I see a wall, but I hear footsteps coming from the other side of the wall .

It’s it an echo?

Judging from here, I suspect this place is the entrance of the shrine, now, I am at the position of the bottom of the round u-shape?

From where I am, there’s a space ahead, and a wall goes on to the left and right . As I though, it’s U-shaped .

For now, I look to the right side where I heard footsteps .

Let’s move along the right wall……

I approach the wall at a jog .

A relief was carved on the wall .

Eeh, it’s amazing modeling . (TN: I wanted to say something better, but that’s how the author worded it . )

A person, with long elf ears, over flowing with fantasy world elements like the short figures of dwarfs with weapons, in the relief they fought against monsters and evil spirits .

As most of it has faded away I don’t understand the details, but the color and shape barely remain .

I walk alongside the wall while observing the relief .

I arrive at the corner, and quietly face the way I heard the sound come from, I peek out and see what is on the other side .

“……”

Uwa, it’s them again .

…I understood the true nature of the group making the sound .

It’s the green monsters .

Because what they’re wearing is different from the group I saw fighting the red monster, the green skinned monsters may be another monster .

Well, it seems that group of monsters is inspecting this area on foot .

Five of them . Nope, seven, eight of them .

The group of green monsters went out of sight around the wall to the other sight .

Facing near where I poured the sand into, is it the same figure?

That many is dangerous .

Let’s be careful in order to not be found .

Because in the depths it’s a large space with the pillars lined up, I look around the left side .

The complete picture of the ruins is square, from the underside I suspect the form is UU . By way of the upper part of the large space with pillars, first of all I want to grasp to terrain . There’s no doorways when I search .

Now, the place where I am is the right wall of the U-shape .

I look to the center from here .

Ah, there’s a green monster in the middle .

It stands like a sentry between the pillars .

In this situation is it good to do a surprise attack?

But, I don’t want the group of green monster to return and it not be there .

Nevertheless, well, that green monster .

It looks just like goblins commonly found in game and movies of the fantasy genre .

“It’s small fry-ish……”

Unless it’s strong?

<Throwing>, <Chain>, and <Cerebral Demon Speed> should go well here?

However, I’ll stop in the center .

A little more, I want to see what is going on the left side .

“I can’t see well from here–”

I move my eyes to the back left edge .

Since there are several large pillars, the view is restricted .

It’s difficult to see from here, I want to understand the overall layout better .

Let’s check whether the left is safe .

Conscious of staying hiden–I detour to the left . Moving from pillar to pillar and looking around restlessly, I move using the shadow of the pillar .

There’s no torch on the left hand pillar and it’s dim .

This is convenient .

There’s only the wall in the left hand corner of the ruins, there’s nothing there .

As is I go to the upper right corner along the wall from the left corner .

Walking along the wall, moving .

A light is seen at one point on the wall . There seems to be a hollow .

Here is the inside of the upper right portion of the ruins .

Another one over there, it looks like there’s a doorway……along the wall, the red light is reflected in the shadow the center pillar, I lean in in order to hide for a moment .

From here, I’m able to see there’s a doorway from this angle .

Then, as expected .

I discover another doorway in the place where it seemed to sink in .

I feel like the group of goblins went away in the opposite direction .

Two torches are burning on pedestals on either side of the door, and two goblins stood guard there .

With this, I grasped the general location of the remaining goblins .

I see now, two of them which stand to protect the open door remain in the upper part .

Two more standing between the center pillars of the ruin where I looked a while ago .

I can’t tell from here, but in the lower ruins I assume that a group of goblins are inside the right U-shape .

First of all, I aim at the two guarding the door .

Using the shadow of the pillar, again I approach .

From the shadow of the pillar nearest to *gobu*, I look a little, and peeped out .

It’s two goblins .

They don’t wear helmets but wear leather armor . After all it’s the face of a goblin .

It’s a square green face . Large eyes are sunken deep into the face .

They have think green uni-brows but no hair .

I stop observing the appearance of the monster that’s appearance I watched carefully .

Named Gobutaro and Gobuemon .

Gobutaro has a weapon like a short spear .

Gobuemon has a thing like a club .

Of course, they don’t notice me .

I have a stone in both my hands . Two in total .

Since there’s no stones in this area, I have to aim carefully……

I *goku* swallowed my saliva while taking aim and hiding .

Focusing on the goblin closest to this side I aim for the head, I let the wrist snap do its work–and hurled it .

The stone collides with the head–with a dull sound it’s crushed .

The head of the goblin collapses on this side, and it fell to the ground .

With the help of the <throwing> skill, it went smoothly .

Again, I immediately hurl it–

I aim at the back of the other goblin’s head, but the stone veers of the mark, and hits the neck .

Chii, missed!

“Goobatsu!”

The goblin hit in the neck emits a strange voice, and collapses as a result of the hit . The aim was off but did it work out in the end?

“Hyuhhooo, it’s amazing, throwing . ”

※Pikon※ ※<Reclusive Body Hide> Skill Acquired※

A sound was heard in my head and I also saw <Reclusive Body Hide> in my view .

I must have acquire the reclusive body hide skill because I attacked while hiding .

Is such a thing learned immediately?

Furthermore, this <Reclusive Body Hide> . I’m able to use it from the moment I got the skill .

I intuitively understood the action for reclusive body for some time .

It’s strange .

However, words for “Skill” exist in reality, it’s displayed in front of me,

How does it work?

Is it engraved in my genetic blueprint?

I understand it’s a natural phenomenon . Recognized in my brain and understood .

With <Throwing> and <Reclusive Body Hide>, I accept it as a natural event .

However, I remember before the transmigration .

Different world, to the extent of being fantasy .

For me who experiences reality, I understand the feeling of acquiring and learning a new skill is natural, however there’s a sense of incongruity……

–A strange feeling .

It’s too strange, but I can only accept it .

Nodding several times, I accept one .

I try <Reclusive Body Hide> once .

I start to stoop over similar like I’m squatting .

When I use <Reclusive Body Hide>, movements are smooth when hiding . (TN:Not quite sure . )

Earlier with <Throwing> I was able to naturally throw . Like this, I can use an effective wrist snap, there’s a feeling of it being more precise .

I repeat the stealthy movements in the shadow of the pillar .

My suspicious movements weren’t noticed by the goblin between the central pillars .

So far so good I’m quietly sneaking up the place where the goblin corpse fell while rejoicing .

The goblin that had its neck crushed is still breathing . But, when I see the face of the goblin, the breathing peters out and it stops moving . From the neck of the body, I collect the bloody stone, and put it in my pocket . I got a short spear as the reward from the victim . It has no money .

The difference in the size of the leather armor is too much, I leave it as is . Because there is a dirty cloth tied around the waste with a string, I took it .

I endure the faint smell of the cloth .

Also, just to be safe, I have to hide this body .

I move it to the shadow of a pillar in the left corner……

As I hid the body of the goblin in shadow of the pillar, I advance towards the inside of the door to the two goblins I killed were protecting . I entered and immediately there were stairs going down .

I go down the stairs .

There was a passage before the stairs went down .

It leads to the lower right from the upper right corner .

From the front and back . It’s the one in front .

I choose the passage in front of me . I walked carefully next to the right hand wall .

While bending down and using <Reclusive Body> hiding, I arrive at a corner .

–I look ahead from the corner .

There’s no one there .

There’s only a similar passage, there seems to be no presence .

I turn at the corner, and advance along the small passage .

Then, I discovered a door on the left .

I can advance ahead, first, I decide to examine the door here .

I grasp the old red iron handle and break it .

It’s an old room .

There’s a strange circular silver container on the slant, a faint white light leaking from inside .

It’s probably the source of light . A magic light .

I search the room using its light .

There are clouded spider’s webs throughout . The smell of mold is present as well .

There’s a stone chair and desk, and a bookshelf further in .

Somehow or other, this place seems to be an ancient library .

The books on the book shelf have rotted away and gathered dust, so I’m able to figure this room was used a considerably long time ago .

The bookshelf is made of some kind of building stone and extends lengthwise deeper into the room .

The bookshelf made of stone was built firmly . I grasp the short spear, and look to the interior of the bookshelfs . I confirm no one is there .

There’s no one there .

I return to the place close to the entrance and sit down, deciding to take a little break .

I bite the fruit like peach I got a little while ago .

–It’s delicious . It tastes like a mango and pear were put together .

Chewing *munch munch*, I eat .

Which reminds me, I haven’t eaten anything yet……

When I look at the clock, it shows 11:00 .

Today, for the whole day, I walked and ran in the cave .

I, even then, experienced no fatigue .

Did my appetite decrease somewhat?

After all, the stamina doesn’t seem to be ordinary .

I’m free so I’d like something to read, I looked for a book .

On the bookshelf, “Life of the Arotoshu Tree”, “Sword of the Weiss”, “Baptism of Orimiru”, “Ashura Calendar”, and, I found many readable books with the title written on the cover, I stretched out a finger to the book .

–But, the moment my finger touched the book, the book quickly crumbled to dust .

It’s rotted away .

Although the words stayed readable, it was in vain .

There’s no helping it .

I give up and go further along the book shelf .

I decide to take a rest in the corner .

With my back at the corner of the wall, I close my eyes, and motionlessly for a while, I calmed myself .

Naturally closing my eyes, I fall asleep .

◇◇◇◇

“–Tsu . ”

While exhaling, I woke up .

When I check my watch it’s 3:00 in the morning .

Fortunately, the green monsters resembling goblins don’t seem to have come to this room .

Moving, there’s no helping it even if I’m here .

I have to escape from this ruins-like place .

I grasped the short spear and left the ancient library .

Again, I open an old iron door .

I returned to the small passage .

For the time being, I choose to go left .

Right is the way I came from .

The passage became wider as I advance .

Suddenly I come upon a crossroads .

There’s passages going left right and forwards .

I choose to go strait, and advance .

Then, again the passage becomes small . When I pass through the small passage, I came into a big bright hall .

A huge red curtain is raised up coming from the walls .

Oh, an emblem?

The emblem is made of three intersected bars with an ax in the middle .

–Huh?

Uhyu, there was a group of goblins further in the hall .

Moreover, their figures were *chichikuri* embracing each other .

“Ugee, oh what?”

I unintentional speak after seeing the unpleasant figures of the goblins .

Tsu, shi, oops .

“Giyago! Nu?”

“Getsu . ”

“Gotsu!?” “Ningenda!” “Why, Human gaa!””Gorose!”

“Eh……tsu . ”

My eyes swim quickly as I take in the hall . There was a passage to the left and right, in an instant I choose the left passage and use <Cerebral Demon Speed> .

I activate the skill .

–And escape .

I run . Run .

“Gunuootsu . ” “Get him!” “Oe!”

Goblin voices . I think there were nearly ten of them? I can’t look back .

I run through the passage .

Around the corner is a door with what appear to be strange old markings on it .

There’s no time to open it .

I hurl my shoulder at it–and break down the door .

I rush into the room while rolling .

There’s a shock to my shoulder, but it’s not painful .

The <Cerebral Demon Speed> runs out now .

A cloud of dust rises up .

“Cough, cough . ”

Grit whirls up into my mouth, and gives me a coughing fit .

While twisting my face I check the surroundings .

Excepting the low round column in the middle of the room–

“It’s just, a wall . ”

The room I knocked the door of down and invaded, was a circular room with mysterious symbols carved along the walls .

The pattern is countless thin lines like the veins of a leaf .

The sealed space was surrounded with a strange atmosphere .

If I need it, this is a dead end .

The effect of <Cerebral Demon Speed> already ended long ago .

“Itazooo . ” “This human, fast . ” “I found him, here-su . ”

Meanwhile, the goblins that ran after me came into the circular room .

I’m trapped .

Only three of them……can I kill them?

Short spear in hand, a stone in my pocket .

Surrounded, dangerous……

The time lag for <Cerebral Demon Speed> is just a little longer .

There’s the <Chain> skill too, I’ll survive .

The goblin smiles, comes approaching me……

I withdrew backing up .

My back leg hits the central pillar of the room .

“Long time-ro, Human . ” “Demon, guuu . ”

Reinforcement Goblins enter the room one after the other .

I put my foot up the central column, the moment my weight moved to the pillar–the ground shakes?

–Eh?

–The ground is shaking!?

No, falling–Rururuuuu–

I immediately eject <Chain> . But, the chain doesn’t reach the ceiling .

The earsplitting sound of howling wind .

Time, it’s already too late…… . I fall head over heel……

Uheeeeeee, I say such a thing .

I fall, falling .

The goblins seem to fall, too .

Serves you right, I cannot say .

Well that room .

The whole room seems to have been a hexagonal pitfall trap .

–Shit, I extend the chain to the side–but there’s no wall .

Easily, it proves right without minding it, I produced the chain .

The chain penetrates through several goblins in the midst of falling, but it was just that .

The wind blows up vigorously, I feel like my body is falling like an arrow .

I’m skydiving with no parachute .

An unpleasant thought crosses my mind .

This, if I arrive below, will my body be destroyed?

Eeeeh, I don’t want that

Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain .

I repeatedly eject <chain> many times, but the width seems considerably wide too–in vain, the chain shoots into the sky .

My body is of Vampire lineage . I don’t think I’ll die even if it’s crushed, but… it will hurt first .

It’s for so long I’m able to think to that extent, I still admire it while in the middle of falling .

Suddenly–with a *bua*, the sensation of piercing something .

I felt the sense of the air clogging up my ears . Did the atmospheric pressure even change?

This, how far will I fall……

I up the repeated ejection of <chain> .

Many times, many times, many times, <chain> is shot out, then–

A whole bunch of chain–did it get stuck!?

The chain bends and doesn’t break off, carrying me to the wall in one go . Feeling to chain for how many second, I rejoice, but, the though ends there, it broke .

–I crash into to wall with awful force .

The sound of the impact as my head is smashed, my brain shakes .

–The side of the wall collapsed .

Blood seeps into the cracks on the wall, it collapses .

Half of my left shoulder is torn off, instantly adhering, repeatedly tearing–the broken ribs are healed, the bones protruding from my chest also .

I reel at such extraordinary pain and shock several times, I completely black out . The <chain> disappeared automatically when I blacked out .

Completely exhausted, blood sprays out from everywhere on my body .

I do a nose dive in one breath .

Dooooon, dogoootsuntsu!

A dull crash resounds and echoes .

Pieces of bone are scattered .

From the shock of the impact at the bottom, my consciousness is restored, but, I was attacked by an undetermined fierce pain in my body .

As if I promote such pain, I rolled down bone mountain .

The long pit I fell from fortunately led to this “Skeleton Mountain . ” The many bones became a cushion, I fell on the heap of skeletons and while it absorbed the impact my body rolls

I finish rolling when I arrive at the bottom of bone mountain .

A twitch, my body doesn’t move .

I arrived……

I feel relieved, then, again I fainted .

After a while, how much time passed–

At last, I wake up .

“Itetete . My entire body hurts . ”

Haha, there’s too much pain .

On my chest and thigh, splintered bones stick out here and there .

From a laying down posture, I pull out bone fragments I don’t think are mine, and a sharp pain runs through my body .

Bururi, my whole body shook, and muscles relaxed .

“Guaa, sigh……ite . ”

While biting my lip to suppress the pain, I look at the wound I remove the bone shard from . Blood overflows from the wound, but the wound closes up in an instant .

I’m stunned at the recovery abilities of the vampire lineage .

“Su, amazing……”

Well, is it all right? I……

The pain is now a more common pain .

Yes I’ll be paralyzed while I recover like this .

But even if I say paralyzed, I fainted from the extreme pain earlier .

Immortal, but the sense of pain is normal .

By the way, other than such a thing, where am I?

I stand up unsteadily, and look at the bone mountain before me–

Like the remains of a battlefield and a landfill . It’s probably the bones of humans and monster accumulated in large numbers .

Just above, a huge pit opens .

This, is it the hole I fell from?

I look into the hole . Pitch-darkness .

Well, by crashing from such a height, okay, well, I was saved .

A normal human would have had their left arm torn off first, having both the chest and head destroyed would have been “Instant Death . ”

Speaking of pitch-darkness, it’s bright here .

The sources of light emit bright light, I turn to face it .

–There seems to be light everywhere .

Is there a large cauldron hanging from the ceiling by chains?

A strange orange flame burns in the pot .

“It’s totally the pit of hell……”

I look around the area but there’s only bones .

There are scattered old spears, swords, and armor among the bones too .

“Is anything here usable?”

I lost the spear I picked up a while ago .

Then, while cautiously stepping on the bones on the ground, there might be a weapon that seems usable or an armor that could be worn, the search begins .

The huge bone mountain before my eyes, there seem to be many of them, but because the bone mountain seems unstable I detour around it .

“Ooh, does the size match?”

Then I discover a cuirass that seems usable .

It covers everything above my thighs .

I attach the cuirass with green scales and red from my bloodied jeans . The jeans are bloodied and tattered full of holes, but because this fits, I decide it’s good .

It just fits .

Searching for other armor, moving bones aside, I move forward . (TN: Not really sure . )

I pick up a rusted brown sword this time .

Using the sword, I pushed a bone aside and looked .

I’m able to find armor equipment, but the only things I can find are broken things that were crushed and full of holes .

However, I found a good looking gauntlet that seemed to fit .

It’s only the right hand, but the grey armor seemed to have some green scales mixed in with a darkish firm metal on the back .

It seems to be old, but it’s better than nothing at all .

I stretch the clothe out into a string and attach it to the claps on the back of the cuirass to bind it together .

I fitted it to my wrist .

I check my watch then . The watch was broken . The face is badly cracked and the needle is bent, it has completely stopped .

Aaaaahhh, the precious light, the power of civilization……

–I should throw it away .

I throw my watch away into the bone mountain .

–The legacy of civilization, taken away!

I continue going around bone mountain .

As usual, the bone are piled up in large quantities on the ground . It was hard to walk .

Jumping ahead from the middle to walk, already playing, I decide to move .

There it is, at last!

As my jumping power also rose considerably, I was able to jump considerably far .

But, the scene continues to not change at all .

This bone place is a huge cave, it’s nothing but an ocean of bones . Where ever I look, the horizon is covered by the sea of bones .

Luckily, it’s bright so I can advance easily……

Intently, running across the sea of bones, walking, jumping, I continue .

One or two days have probably already passed .

I’m thirsty . I want water .

But, in here it doesn’t seem likely to find food or water .

Also, there are bone mountain .

On top of it, there’s also a huge pit .

There seems to be a bone mountain under the huge pit like the once I fell through .

If I can get high, I may be able to understand the layout of this place……

“Let’s try it . ”

Muttering so, I look up the bone mountain in front of me .

Yoshi, let’s do it in one go .

I put strength into my legs and run .

At first I was able to climb with a good feeling .

But, my feet are immediately caught by the sea of bones even if I jump, I’m then buried and swallowed up by a whirlpool of bones . My feet rapidly sank into the bone mountain as it collapsed and my body spilled down .

Since there’s no helping it, I advance along the side of the bone mountain .

Small bones, are crushed underfoot while I walk .

The sword I take hold of in my hand is substituted for a walking stick .

In such a way, I pass several bone mountains .

Another bone mountain……is what I though then .

Slowly, zoazoa, and, it is a group of moving people? But I saw it .

I approached .

Hm? Huh, oh, it’s a group of corpses .

Zombies . The living dead are moving corpses .

There’s skeletons made of only bones too .

I took care to slowly walk around the group of corpses .

Part of the group, noticed me .

The decomposed zombie corpses all moaned, and came this way .

Uhyu, don’t come here!

I turn my left left wrist towards a zombie, and extend <chain> .

–The aim is the head .

The chain makes a swish sound as it advances, piercing through the head of the zombie .

The zombie who lost its head collapsed weakly to the ground .

–I did it .

I was terribly idle in my previous life .

I remember that I loved drama, movies and games were zombies came out .

While remembering the scene I enjoyed in my previous life, I ejected and reeled in the chain, slaughtering the slow zombies .

But, if they were the serious heinous running zombies, I don’t think I would have such a composed attitude .

With a rusted sword equipped in my right hand and the chain in the left, I stick the sword into the head of a zombie, killing it .

As I don’t know how to use a sword, I just use it by stabbing with the sharp end .

The zombies stop moving if I smash their head, it also works on the skeletons even if they’re only made of bones . Yet, in addition to being slow, shaking and clattering, I was able to kill them by destroying the bleached skeletons with my chain .

When I finish killing several zombies and skeletons, is the source of the zombies the white fog surrounding the bone mountain? That sort of thing can be confirmed by sight .

Oi, a ghost?

That’s probably what it is, I approach and observe the white fog……

If I think it’s shaped like a person, it’s a ladybug?

It shines . Is it a group of shining lady bugs?

Why? Shining with a white light, the group of ladybugs float like fireflies .

“Why here?”

When I’m going to touch with my hand, the ladybugs swiftly moved nose diving in a fine zig-zag .

Curiously, I tried feeling around on the ground .

“Otsu . ”

On the ground there was a blurred hard to read character written on the ground .

Re, Te, Ta, Wa, Me, Su, Mu .

Different world characters . They can be read, but several placed have been worn down .

White light shines under the characters, there was a necklace decorated with big beautiful ladybugs .

The ladybugs are beautiful crafted like a work of art .

A chain of gold is on the end of the decoration .

On the backside of the ladybug, there seem to be several lines of grooves like an ordinary necklace .

However, the light just now? The fog? Sort of……

『……』

“Mm?”

When I hold it in my hand, a faint wind blows .

The ladybug pendant shined white for an instant .

“Being an insect, foreboding? For the time being, let’s take it……”

Muttering so, I hang the necklace around my neck .

The necklace stops shining then .

Leaving that place, again, I begin to advice along the side of bone mountain .

I walk determined .

The sea of bones spread out like an infinite hell .

Haa, how long will it take?

My sense of time is already completely out of order .

Only the sound of bones crunching echoes .

Chapter 6: Conversing in a Different World

Walking in this place full of bones, I wonder how many days have passed……

Well, since I can walk without food or drink for days like this, I’m surely not human .

After all it’s a race whose name includes the characters for light and demon . (TN: When in Japanese)

However, ……my throat is dry, I’m hungry, and my body feels kind of worn out .

For the time being, I’ll check my condition .

Stopping my feet,

Current Condition: Abnormal: Blood Plasma Deficiency Death Illness 15%

Such was displayed .

Hmm, this heavy feeling must be the illness .

“Abnormal” is attached as an entry under condition .

Furthermore, what is 15% plasma deficiency?

I touch Blood Plasma Deficiency Death Illness .

※Blood Plasma Deficiency Death Illness※

→Blood is depleted . Early symptom of mummification .

All ability values reduced by half, Starvation state 5〜30 initial state of hunger .

In this condition blood continues being lost abnormally fast . This state is isn’t affected by an Abnormal Status Invalidation skill . However, when starvation state reaches 100% mummification a loss of spirit causes the consciousness to be forcibly stolen away and enter a rampaging state .

Due to starvation frenzy, any abnormal state undermining the body is canceled, but if blood is not consumed within a few hours after it begin, final mummification will occur .

I feel like I want water .

My body seems to want blood .

This is early mummification .

Abilities are reduced by half, and I’ll rampage if I bleed?

Scary . However, it’s true my body has gotten heavy .

I think it’s because my stamina was reduced to half according to the number .

So I close out the status display .

My hunger decreased too . I’m thirsty and my lips are dry .

I can endure pain, but honestly, this dry throat is hard .

However, I cannot but keep walking .

The sounds of the bones rolling to the ground and being crushed echo .

I walk so as to forget time .

There’s no fatigue in my steps but they are heavy .

To the right side, the vertical cave which was broken, the triangle-ish rock cave was narrow across but tall vertically . (TN: Wut)

Is it a good omen? I stop advancing through the bone sea for a moment, and advance ahead to the hole .

If it’s damp there may be water .

I go into the dark cave without hesitating .

Inside is dark .

But, without minding it I advance .

A narrow rock passage…… The rocks feel somewhat damp .

I go ahead through such a cave for a few days .

Honestly, there’s no sense of time anymore, I think several days have passed .

Tomorrow, tomorrow, and, tomorrow, and with a stingy gait, everyday life advances .

The narrow rock passage continues on .

The point to arrive at was written down for the luck of life, it is the end for me?

Oh? It doesn’t seem to be the end .

The moss shining on the ceiling begins to stand out .

When my eyes grew accustomed to such faint light–

Mm? this is…it feels like cold water, humid air .

I smell a grassy-smell which smells like a forest .

Oootsu, it’s soft, or rather, the ground is dirt, grass?

It’s the feeling of stepping on grass .

–It’s grass . It’s grass .

Grass in such darkness .

Furthermore, this leaf, emits fluorescent light .

Starting from the veins the feint light extends out continuing through the small veins on the surface of the leaf .

The outside edge of the leaf emits a faint light .

This leaf, is it a substitute for proper light?

I touch the black leaf grass, and tore off a piece .

Using the light, I can decrease my hunger now, can I eat it?

Already, it’s good . Anything is good . I need to satisfy my appetite .

It may cause my diarrhea to be colored, but I don’t care .

Yeah, I put the leaf in my mouth .

I bit the leaf, chewing . I keep eating the grass to satisfy my hunger .

Tsu, gu, it’s taste terrible……

It’s gross, but I continued eat until my hunger was satisfied .

Then……power overflowed from the bottom of my stomach, there’s still no taste, yet I’m feel oddly exhilarated .

There’s no stomach pain . I’m lucky .

I grabbed the black grass which grew on the ground and put it in my mouth .

While numbly chewing, I advance forward . The moment I casually put my hand on the rock wall–tsutsu, cold!

Ooooooo–Water . Water .

I can feel the water .

Barely from between the rocks, but water is flowing .

Putting my face on the damp rock, I pressed my dry lips to the cracks the water flowed from .

With a *buchu* I suck the water .

I desperately sip the trickling water .

Without looking . I don’t look, I just quench my thirst .

When my heart has been satisfied, suddenly, a pain ran through my foot .

“It hurts–”

Painful .

When I touched my foot blood was flowing . There’s a cut .

Why? –Ouch .

Again . Why?

I look at the underside, but it was covered with grass and I couldn’t tell .

Then, an animal like a rabbit broke out from the base of some grass giving off a slightly florescent color, but I saw it .

Teeth are bared .

But, it’s a rabbit .

A small black rabbit bit my foot .

Ite, my foot was cut .

Mm, the pain is sore, but it’s a rabbit, and this, is it meat? It’s food . Meat is meat . Meat aaah, hiyatsuha–I’ll accept the meat . I won’t let it escape . (TN: Goin’ all scary vamp on us . )

Catch it–

Also I’m trying to pull out my rusty sword to thrust while aiming at the feet, but this black rabbit, moves fast .

It ends in failure many times .

It’s fast . I will catch it .

As the rabbit jumps up and down many times, I stretched my foot out on purpose like bait and invited it .

–It takes it .

It throws itself of on my foot like pole-and-line fishing .

I leaned forward and caught the black rabbit .

That way, I twist the head of the black rabbit, killing it .

Eh, it’s already completely barbarian .

Parasite like, for a moment, it passes over my head but I don’t know .

Of course, I would like to cook and eat it, but I have no tool to create a fire here .

So, I carry the black rabbit I killed to the entrance .

I ate it raw .

The blood in the meat is the first in a long time……the body by the blood .

Yumyum, I was able to replenish my supply of blood……

The meat is a valuable source of protein .

For now, I’ll check it .

Current Condition: Healthy

I did it . The blood sickness was cured .

Fuu……I’m relieved to eat meat after such a long time .

I start to confirm the pale light in the area again .

The black leaves grow everywhere in the cave . The sound of black rabbits hopping around in the thick grass can be heard .

How the black rabbits are here too is a question, the meat of the black rabbit is important, there must be a lot inhabiting this area .

For the time being, I’ll live in this area with food……

◇◇◇◇

I’m examining the range of where the strange black grass that emits light grows, I enlarge my living area little by little .

The range of where the black grass grows is oddly large .

It’s divided into many layers which branch to numerous caves, I continue deeper into the darkness .

Since I don’t continue going in the depths too much, I return to the cave I originally entered from the bone cave . A relatively large amount of black rabbits live here .

As I want meat, I decided to make this place my base .

I frantically catch the black rabbits for their meat .

However, as the black rabbits are quick I often miss . So I earnestly sip the water flowing from the rock, and the standard becomes living off of black grass .

Since my hunger is strangely satisfied eating just this leafy black grass, it became rare that I felt hungry .

Even if time passes for a while I have a hard time catching the black rabbit, I was able to substitute food for bait and was able to catch one somehow .

The dismantling of the black rabbit is smooth too . I drink the blood first, and then after I drain the blood I use the rusty sword on it . I used the skin as a substitute for a cushion and loincloth .

That reminds me, there’s no stomach pain .

I live mainly on black leaf and black rabbit, but there’s never diarrhea . (TN: I don’t think it’s supposed to be translated as diarrhea but I find the image of our OP main character having diarrhea all the time kinda funny . )

Saying so, number-one comes out, but feces don’t appear .

Is it the help of the <Hyper Intestinal Absorption> skill?

If so that’s an amazing skill .

By the way, the sexual urge is vigorous . The emerging thing emerges . (TN: He’s talking about his dick . )

Black leaves are always tissue substitutes .

If there was a <Delusion Skill>, I’m confident I’d be able to acquire it .

Continuing living underground like this, when I thought I had completely adapted myself to the darkness–

※Pikon※ ※<Night Vision> Skill Acquired※

※Pikon※ ※<Night Crawler Adaptation> Permanent Skill Acquired※ (TN: The permanent skill is actually “darkness person” but that translation is lame so I’m changing it . )

<Night Vision> skill was acquired .

When I use it, there is a feeling of my sight suddenly expanding out, I begin to see a clear image .

This is amazing . I can catch a black rabbit easily .

I checked my status for <Nigh Crawler Adaptation> .

※Night Crawler Adaptation※

A skill which is only fit for races adapted to dark worlds in obtained . Various abilities improve only in darkness . The effect of the <Reclusive Hidden Body> skill increased . (TN: Changed Reclusive Body Hide à Reclusive Hidden Body . )

Darkness completely becomes my home after I acquired these two skills .

As expected it’s possible to easily catch black rabbits, I become able to eat meat very day .

It’s not altogether bad to live in this underground world .

And, time is money, I who forgot the words of opportunity cost .

My thoughts completely became those of a primitive man .

To catch a black rabbit today, while stepping on the mixed fluorescent colored black grass I advanced deeper into the dark cave .

Such a time, a dazzling light illuminated a corner, taking away my sight that was accustomed to darkness .

–Hiee, what? It’s dazzling, a torch?

Furthermore, a strange sound throbs in my ear .

The sound of dry hands clapping in prayer roared repeatedly .

What, what is it, I run in the cave where the black leaves grow thick–approaching the origin of the light and the mysterious sound .

Ah, is that a person? Uwa, they’re awfully short……

Approaching closer, trying to see .

While rubbing my eyes, I move with <Reclusive Hidden Body> .

I stoop down to hide myself in the dark cave where the grass grows thick .

I slowly approach the source of the brilliant light .

There is one of the short race .

Their height is about 120 cm? They are short and stout and a beard connect to the hair on its head, but the muscle quality .

Holding a torch in one hand, their head is moving looking for something .

Oh, by any chance, are they a member of the dwarf race?

The race which often appears in fantasy works .

The dwarf put the lantern which continued emitting a strange purple light on his hip . Dead black rabbits also hang there .

Now, if I reveal myself he’ll be frightened……

How to do it……

I think that’s a dwarf, but it’s an intellectual race in a different world .

This rusted sword shouldn’t last……

Before I could come out, the Dwarf opens his mouth .

“Fuhhahahahahahaha . Thank you “Paddock-sama,” I’m revived with this . A blessing came at last, both here and there was enough to grow . Hiyatsuhiyatsuhiyatsu, a bitter experience was caused by the【Second King Meeting】, on the contrary, exile–It’s that worth of celebration? No, I’m glad . At this rate……the whole area where black kotokubi grass grows, goes to the bone sea . ”

He says a soliloquy with heavy tension .

The first word, can be understood .

He has weapon……Eeei, however .

I yell with spirit, and jumped out of the grass .

When the Dwarf sees my figure, he comes to a complete stop with a dumbfounded expression .

“–Oh, oh, excuse me, zu,”

Ah, a voice but……

“Hiiaa, Nannayiaaaaa, This is my yiaaaaaa” (TN: I dunno, I’m bad when it comes to translating yelling . )

–The Dwarf’s eyes become bloodshot and showers me with threats, pulling a mace and axe out of his waste .

I struck first .

Dual wielding specializing in fear–

“–Jiyo, w-w-w-wait, stop, I, don’t intend to do anything . ”

While retreating back, banzai, I put up both hands . (In Japan when people go “Banzai!” they raise their arms up)

As it had been a long time since I last spoke words, my tongue was dry and I stuttered .

“Nuo, the words of a Dwarf with the accent? There’s no feathers on the back either……you aren’t “Garubana?”

He seems to have listened to my words .

Is it thank to the Language Comprehension skill? The dwarfs hears me with the proper accent .

Simply, it may be the result of my having stuttered .

But what is “Gurenba?”

In the Dwarf’s right hand is a mace, holding an axe in his left hand, the eyes are still scary .

I talk politely trying to be aware of my mouth and tongue .

“…That, what’s a Gurenba?”

“Nu? You can talk normally . A gurnepa is a monter . The monster that appears in the bone sea . It’s said that black grass grows around the area of 【Great Guranpa Hallway】spreading out towards the sea of bones . The “Ancient Black Ring” exists there, it’s said that it appears around that area . ”

That sea of bones .

But, it’s my own explanation time .

Aimu, I speak to the short dwarf in a friendly manner .

“It’s a monster……does the monster talk in this way?”

While repeating a gesture where I carefully raise and lower both arms, I loosen up and smile .

“…… . Humu, the monster doesn’t do such a thing . It seems there isn’t a *ryogoru* sound in the realm of the dead, the face and there’s no feathers on the back, possibly……Maguru? But, I’ve seen it for the first time . Impossible……you don’t have the appearance of either and wear strange dirty clothes? Don’t Gnomes and Dark Elves use magic to disguise themselves?” (TN: Maguru might mean magic, not sure . The magic system in this novel is really fuckin’ complicate but you won’t learn about it till the second story arc . )

Ryogoru is the sound of hell? What is Maguru?

Gnome and Dark Elf are other races .

Well, apart from that……

“That Maguru, I don’t understand, but I think I’m a person . So, together with you……”

“After all, on the cover, Maguru . As for me, I’m a dwarf . Because I was separated, I don’t give the whole family name . The name is Loirr”

The word Maguru means a person . (TN: Okay, it has nuthin to do with magic, but the conversation up till now makes a lot more sense . )

“Stray dwarf……Loirr-san . My name is Shuya Kagiri . Please call me Kagari or Shuya, whatever way you favor . ”

“Loirr is fine . So, Shuya . You who are a Maguru, why, are you underground? Also, where this raw “Black Kotobuki Grass” grows, why are you here?” (Okay, judging by the coming conversation Maguru is a person from the surface . )

Asking, Loirr’s eyes were glaring .

Extremely cautious .

Are Magurus dangerous to dwarfs?

“That is……”

I have no choice but to make up a suitable story .

“I have no memories . I fell from a huge hole in the ceiling into the sea of bones, but I managed to escape unharm . ”

“When it’s that……did you fall from the cover at the top? And you’re safe? Well, aside from that, did you walk through the dangerous sea of bones? The territory of Guranba without the sound of Ryogoru……”

Are Guranbas and Ryogoru monsters in the sea of bones?

“I didn’t encounter any “Guranba . ” Though I met a corpse that moved like a person . ”

“It probably so . If you met them you’d “be eaten” and “die . ”

I don’t understand, so I’ll agree .

“Eeh, yes . ”

Loirr wracks his head, while scratching his beard with a dirty hand he opens his mouth .

“Chi, I’ll check, but 【Langur Empire】is the biggest city, 【Underground City Sauzantomaunten】and 【Underground City Rindo】or the Dark Poison capitol 【Underground City Daumerazan 】, do any of the cities ring a bell?”

Like that, I have no way of knowing .

“What are those? Are there underground cities and countries?”

“……As expected . You don’t seem to know about other underground communities where dwarfs live in this world . In that case “Being Separated”, I don’t know the meaning either . ”

The dwarf guesses, and falls silent .

“Eeh, what is it to be separated?”

“It’s when a dwarf is thrown out like me . Labeled as a criminal . I was exiled from Langur empire . It’s a breakdown in the power struggle by Ririumu in the 【Second King Society】 . Being exiled outside the wall, I’ve been traveling as normad for months . Because I had the divine protection from Ryogoru, I was able to survive in this underground world . ”

Becoming separated?

Wandering……if required, was this oyaji dwarf destroyed in a power struggle?

Even if he’s called a criminal because Loirr’s eyes are sharp I’m convinced .

The beard has grown untidily into his hair, his hair is full and disheveled……

“I see……”

“Haha, be relieved . It’s okay if you don’t put yourself on guard . There’s no worry and I feel like eating . I don’t know if you’re starved? But, fortunately, the whole area where black kotobuki grass grows spreads out from here . This “Jiji” has been eating black kotobuki grass in large quantities . ”

The black kotobuki grass, it seems to be the black leafy grass growing below .

The jiji probably means a black rabbit .

“Is that so . I also want to eat, jiji . ”

“Haha, I see, our mutual luck may be bad, I understand . ”

The old dwarf, with a smile on his wrinkle filled face, charming .

Next, I’m interested in what Loirr said about “Ryogoru” just now, I’ll try to hear about it .

“Eh, indeed . And, it’s sudden, but what is Ryogoru?”

My expectation, is the lantern attached to the waste .

The item which produced a purple and bluish white light .

“Haha, it’s this wonderful light . It caught your eye . Indeed . “This” is Ryogoru . It’s a special magic tool . It’s an old legendary item . ”

Mm, a special magic tool .

“What kind of effect does it have?”

“When it’s slapped on top it releases a sound into the area, it produces a special musical field . This sound is effective at keeping away monsters living underground . As I said earlier, I was able to survive and arrive here thanks to it . ”

Ah, so just now, that strange dry sound .

“I see . It’s an amazing item . ”

“That’s right . I don’t do it, if I’m going to touch it, I do it myself with this axe head……” (TN: Threatened to chop MC . )

Loirr doesn’t seem to have liked my eyes .

If that the case I want to say “don’t show it so proudly”, but I’ll try to be friendly .

“I won’t do such a thing . ”

“Okay . Is that so, ah, don’t be sorry . It’s a thing where I haven’t encountered a friendly person in a long time, so . ”

“……It would be like that in an underground world . Well, does such an item exist elsewhere?”

“What do you think? It seems there were scores of them in the city I came from . At any rate, it’s said that a part of Ryogoru is sealed living in hades . ”

Ryogoru is living in hades?

Is there such a monster-ish thing in this world?

“However my luck is certainly improving . …… . Because I finally found it . The place where black kotobuki grass rows all around…… . I have to hurry tomorrow or it will escape . ”

What .

“Leave here?”

“Ah, return to Langur empire . If there’s a bunch and the black grass is harvested by the Ririumu upstart, I’ll become rich . On the contrary the 【Second King Society】will be crushed . Bribing the guards and members of parliament becomes easy . Besides, it’s not just that……hyuhyuhyu . ”

Dirty teeth were bared with a laugh .

The charming face has become a creepy smiling face .

However……do I go .

I came to this world with great efforts, for the first time I’ve been able to communicate, although in passing……an unpleasant person……

“……Will you take me?”

“It’s no good . ”

Hayatsu .

“Eh? Why is that?”

“Langur is the country of dwarfs . Maguru aren’t seen there . In fact this is my first time seeing one too . The people of Langur are prejudiced to Maguru and the world of Maguru, if I take you, there’s no talk of even bribing the guards if I’m caught . ”

Eeh, also alone .

Mm, it’s unpleasant . Once again, I’ll try asking……

“Is it really useless?”

“Ah, it’s no use . ”

Crestfallen .

This fellow won’t hesitate to attack if I try to follow either, his face says it .

There’s no helping it……

I’ll only hear terminology and get information .

“Is that so . It’s regrettable……however, please tell me . What are the ‘Maguru’?”

“……You’re asking a question? Well it’s fine . The world of Maguru is the surface . It refers to people living on the surface world . As for us dwarfs, there seems to have been a foothold on the surface long ago, but probably because war continued for a long time, our ancestors cut off exchange with the surface . Nowadays for a long time the Maguru, interchange with surface races including humans like you is prohibited . ”

Loirr pointed a finger to the ceiling and explained .

“Mm, in underground Langur, there’s no humans . ”

“Of course . ”

There’s no humans underground .

“Then do you know a way to the surface?”

“I get it, I get it . There are some stone pipes called “God Towers” which seem to lead directly to the surface . It’s said they were made by the ancestors of dwarfs . ”

Wao, there’s such a stone pipe .

With this, I may be able to get to the surface!

“There’s such a thing…where?”

“For example, it think it won’t be usable even if it’s found, but……”

“Please . Please tell me . ”

The dwarf looks at my desperate face, and opens his mouth while scratching the hair on his cheek .

“……Well . Although a Maguru, having met in such an absurdly remote underground place, it must be fate . It may be discovered with the guidance of ‘Paddock-sama . '” I’ll tell you . ”

“Oh, thank you . ”

I have a smile floating on my face, and when I hear it extends ear to ear .

“What I know is there’s a ‘God Tower’ in 【Underground City Sauzantomaunten】 which is in the center of 【Langur Empire】 . It’s said that it’s broken after several thousands of years passed . Other than that……it seems they’re scattered about in the distant far away parts of the underground world . But, even if you find a God Tower, there’s a particular way to use it . I think it won’t work because it’s broken . In the first place the technology used to make it has already been lost . Great Paddock, the great ancestor-samas know the way to open the path, just, for what sake was it made……”

Gahn .

Knowing the location of the dwarf country .

Ma, if it’s broken there’s no point .

Well, the god tower, I imagine it as a stone pipe, is it a box thing like an elevator?

It’s surprising that there was such technology .

“…… . I see . ”

“Ou . Then, as for those two, three of them, this jiji will part here and hunt . I don’t know in how many months, but I think that a hired mercenary sentry may come here . At that time, because you may be found, will you escape? Oh, well, I’ll part here . Maguru Shuya . ”

After how many months . I don’t understand how to count calendars in this world .

The Gregorian calendar, five lines, don’t divide the zodiac cycle .

“…… . Yeah . ”

Loirr the dwarf disappeared into the depths of the cave with the torch in one hand .

Lonely……

◇◇◇◇

I followed Loirr .

I was warned not to, but I ignored it .

I followed him .

Well, the dwarf was the first precious person I was able to talk to……

Also, Loirr is going to towards the underground city with the broken god tower, is it there?

I might be able to use it .

If I follow him, I may be able to find the quickest way to the surface .

If I sneak into the underground city, it should be possible to protect myself in a corner of the slums .

I want another person to speak with a little .

Pursuing Loirr with such one-sided thinking, several weeks passed .

In the meantime Loirr advances while making the *ryugoro* sound .

When Loirr feels the presence of monsters, using *ryugoro* every time, because my presence is hidden, I was able to travel without fighting any monster .

But, the areas I’m traveling through may be affected by the sound, a beast type monster, a hairy caterpillar like monster with multiple big eyeballs, and many monsters where bears and crabs are combined into big monsters, I see them around me .

Persistently, only looking .

Thanks to <Reclusive Body> and <Night Crawler Adaptation> I was able to at easily observe them .

My figure wasn’t discovered by monsters .

And, pursuing for a long time, Loirr finally stops moving .

At the same time, I discover the dazzling lights of the underground city before me .

The size of the cave isn’t natural, huge artificial stones cut into cubes increased .

At last, I seem to have arrived at the underground city .

An underground city……

A country where cities are built from giant stones emitting light, it’s certainly a man-made brightness .

But, my stupid pursuit drama was to that extent .

–Tsu, is that an arrow?

Although <Reclusive Hidden Body> was being used, one after another, arrows were sent flying from bows .

“An unknown magic reaction is over there . –There’s an enemy there!”

“Is it a Dark Elf? Pursue it . ”

A dwarf humming several to himself .

Dwarf soldiers dressed in small black armor appear in sequence .

Their movements are completely different from Loirr .

I move like a ninja moving from place to place .

When they get to the place I’m hiding, they point in my direction .

Again an arrow flew .

-Shit, the only thing I can do is escape .

Luckily, I remember the way I came .

There’s no helping it, let’s give up following Loirr .

I ran away and escaped .

I shortly shake off the pursuing Dwarfs .

Dwarfs are short-legged, even if they move quickly, it seems they’re slow on their feet .

I might just be fast .

By the way, in addition, I return strait back to where the black grass grew .

I often encounter monsters in the caves while returning, but I avoid them all without fighting .

……How many weeks, on foot, I was able to return to the place where the black giving grass grew .

◇◇◇◇

In this way, again, life in this dark cave began .

Not understand day and night .

Sleeping dozens of times, repeated several hundred times……

By chance, suddenly, I, have nothing to do .

And, it leads to talking to myself .

Being used to the life at the level of primitive man here, the rabbit meat is a reward, how about it? Like this, continuing to live in such a state, doing such a thing……

What point was there to transmigratings?

I, feel like the time I was unemployed paying the cost of laziness .

After all the surface, a human being, let’s go to the place of Maguru .

I can only search for clues to the god tower .

I’m scared of the monster Loirr talked about, but there should surely be something in that wide bone sea .

Which reminds me, Loirr said something about the effects of war causing to dwarfs to return to the ground .

Either way, I can only go to the bone sea .

Hence I get ready for that purpose .

I wind the black grass called black kotobuki grass around many places on my body .

I’m going to live mainly on this .

Just in case the jiji harvests, I collected about five of them . (TN: I don’t know how much five is)

If there’s only this, I think I can last to an extent .

Because it rots I can’t expect it to store long, but……at worst, I understand I can survive without eating and drinking .

Humans, going to the surface where humans are .

Find a “god tower,” find the way leading to the surface .

I who strengthened my determination left the area where the black grass grew .

I start traveling the underground world .

◇◇◇◇

Passing through the cave where black grass grows, I arrive at the bone sea .

After five days, I think the sixth has probably passed .

Because my sense of time completely out of order, I don’t know .

There’s only a small amount of black Kotobuki grass remaining .

There’s already no more black rabbit meat .

With such a feeling, I trod on the endless bones and continued walking .

–Buuun, buuuuuuuun I heard a vibrating sound echo .

It steadily grows louder .

When I look up at the sky, is that a white human shape? Oh, is it that?

White armor? It looks like a monster .

It looked down at me .

The weird white monster drifts in the sky .

Pure white armor, it’s a mechanical-type armor . There are four arms and all of them are black . Something like a red gasmask covering only the eyes of the face .

Many pipes extended from the gasmask and led to the chest armor .

Attached to the back are long feather making a transparent membrane . The long transparent wings are like a hummingbird, they vibrate intensely and seem to allow it to fly .

The vibrating sound is to the extent that I imagine the huge feathers as insects .

The skin of the face is white .

Also, for some reason only half the face has lips, it’s grandly exposed .

That mouth, it’s a monster after all .

It must be the guranpa monster the dwarf Loirr mentioned .

The mouth which is exposed, the mouth of the monster .

Inside and outside of the square mouth, there’s two .

The teeth growing outside the mouth are lined up like in a shark, it’s the feeling that it won’t separate if I’m caught once .

Another small mouth on the inside, more fine fangs grow spread out, it’s disgusting, and ghastly .

If compared to a movie, if feels like a mix of alien and predator……

The monster with the gasmask attached to the white armor suddenly comes down, and came down in front of me .

『I chased the thick smell of demon origin blood, but to come across a living human……』

Now, direct……was it in my head?

“Eh? Demon Origin? The smell of blood . ”

Can communication be done?

『Ho……you can read and understand my <Thought Wave>? You’re a strange, are you really human?』

The moment I heard his, unpleasant, final words .

–A sudden gust is generated in my stomach .

At the same time–a shock and an acute pain run through my left side .

–When I look at what’s producing the acute pain,

“Eh?”

Part of my left side disappeared–

“–Ugwaaaa”

There was a delayed scream .

When I turn my eyes to the black right arm of the monster, the piece of meat which is part of my stomach is grasped .

My blood dripped from the palm of the monster . (TN: Well shit)

The monster carries the piece of my flesh to its square mouth .

Then, a snake tongue splits from inside the monster’s disgusting mouth .

It changed into two tongues .

The tongue moves like a snake, focusing on licking my flesh, firmly eating together .

『Humu…… . the taste of this blood is similar to the taste of human……』

Shit, my flesh is being eaten .

But,

Chapter 7: Conversing in a different World (2)

“Oow……”

……Too much pain! That guy’s attack, I didn’t see it . Dangerous…… .

I shivered unintentionally .

The hair on the nape of my neck stands on end, goosebumps cover my whole body .

『Well, I’ll take more . 』

The moment the words entered my brain .

I–activated <Cerebral Demon Speed> .

Increasing speed–I urgently ran along the slope .

Scattered bone dusts dances around the ground where I was, the black arm of the monster pierced the ground .

I hurl the rusted sword at the monster .

It hits the white armor of the monster, but it was easily repelled .

I see that, and immediately run away .

–At any rate, run!

I avoid bone mountain . I hurry to run .

Blood overflows from the left side with intense pain, but I ignore it .

I jump earnestly, I run to escape .

I thought bone mountain continued on endlessly, but……I saw a decayed fort-like building coming up in front of me .

When I draw near, there are some thin black pillars at the entrance . Its–I run into the gate like place .

I run with every effort in the fortress building . There’s no door .

The inside is dark but I don’t mind it, I go through the darkness .

While going into a narrow snake like passage way but rubbing against the wall, I walk .

I walk, but the fear of a while ago revives and I shudder .

Scary……the <Cerebral Demon Speed> usable for emergencies is already removed, it can be used . I should have taken great distance .

Seeing the few good things, I looked back .

……Fuu, it didn’t come .

My stomach hurts, there’s no particular fatigue but I put my hand on the wall, and take a little break .

For the time being, I use <Reclusive Hidden Body > .

But what is it, that enemy…… . The words of the dwarf Loirr “You’d be eaten if you met” were true .

Honestly, it licked my flesh .

–Gutsu .

The abdominal wound I received before I “escaped” begins to ache to that is throbs .

I endured to pain in my stomach . To run .

I start running . Advance, jumping while I run .

This is the end of the fortress like ruins, I continue feeling through the darkness in the rubble .

Again coming to the sea of bones, I feel the sensation of crushing a bone with a step .

I went forward through the bone sea in front of me earnestly . The darkness suddenly ends, and a bright dazzling light appears in front of me .

Is it fog rather than light? Is fog shining?

The bright fog and think and dense .

The fog is heavy in the air, it fills my lungs .

“Cough*”

Unintentionally, It was enough for me to choke .

Running through the thick dense fog . It’s a little painful but I ignore it .

I continue forward inside the thick fog .

Before, it’s hard to see in the fog, but–Huh!? A building?

I stop running, and looked at the huge building .

That is, it was part of an incredibly large circular structure .

A water film is stretched inside, the circular edge is decorate with various characters and marks . (TN: Oi oi, this is a fantasy novel, what’s the stargate doing here . )

“Oioi, Is this a gate?”

Doesn’t it look just like the thing that there was in a SF movie?

Around the circular edge, letters are written dancing around like a strange snake .

『Zararapu is close to far away things . 』It seems .

I could easily read it . Thanks to the extra skill language comprehension .

The characteristic round emblem .

The circular mark divided like the yin and yang origin of the universe is displayed on top . There’s also a symbol resembling the sun, there may be some meaning to it…… .

Then, the sound of *buuuuun* and feathers behind me .

Ugh, not again . Escape!

I might be suffering from trauma .

Just hearing the sound, I grimaced .

I active <Cerebral Demon Speed> . And again I start running .

A huge building, beside the rotating circular ring, I move forward .

Well, I thought about entering the gate, but since I have a bad feeling I don’t .

The dense fog continued for a while as I ran, getting away from the black ring structure, the light of the dense fog disappeared all too soon .

Again the dark space spreads out .

I keep running in the dark without hesitation .

Dark . I can’t see the ground .

I forgot to activate <Night Vision> .

I’m desperate . I think I look desperate . I .

That is, I don’t want to meet that white alien!

While holding such a complaint, the sound of the rib I stepped on cracking resounds .

I’m using <Night Vision>, but my stomach is thrown into a sharp wall .

There’s a sharp pain as my regenerating side is scraped off . But, I endure the pain, running unconcerned .

Then, with a stupid “nuo” sound, my foot slipped and I nearly fell down .

The ground became wet and moist .

There seems to be water near here……

“……It’s water, I want some . ”

My throat is dry .

It’s no good for my body unless it’s actual blood, but……

I can’t ask for luxury .

I touch the damp ground, and get the feeling .

The ground is similar to a limestone cave, thin moss grows on the wet surface, I can tell there’s a little flow of water .

At the same time, I heard a distinct sound in front of me .

I thought it was the blood pumping in my ears at first, but the sound seems to be coming from in front of me .

*Goootsu*, far away a low bass sound vibrates in the ground .

It reverberates in the regenerating wound on my side .

Standing up, I start running in the direction of the sound while putting pressure on the wound in my side .

The sound became louder .

Eh? It’s bright, the source of the sound might be a river in an underground water vein .

That’s the perfect .

–A blue light floats in the darkness .

The pale blue light shined from the river .

I rush up to the mysterious river .

“Ooh . ”

I spontaneously raised my voice in admiration .

I can see a fast flowing underground river .

If I wasn’t being chased, I would have been more impressed .

I gently scoop up the water from the fast flowing river with my hand .

The water which overflows and drips down my palm doesn’t shine .

It seems to be a stone on the river bed that’s making the river shine .

Making a bowl with my palms I scoop up the water and carry it to my mouth . I gulped down the water .

“Puhaaaa . ”

It’s water after a long absence .

Yummy, it’s delicious . It tastes slightly hard .

As it was the first taste of water after a long time, I’m energized .

Well really, I don’t change much, but I go ahead walking along the underground riverside at a brisk pace .

The sound of flowing water is intense, a roaring sound beats directly against my ear drums .

I don’t mind it, and run in the direction of the sound .

There was a subterranean waterfall slapping down from above .

The cascading water flows vigorously from the top of the cave . The water cascades to the bottom from 20 meters .

The spray flew in my face .

It’s cold . A thin fog wraps around the area, it seems to be creating the mist .

Because a faint light shines from the bottom, it was a fantasy scene .

“Beautiful–”

While I was immersed in such a fleeting fantasy–

『Found you』

Again I heard a strange voice in my head .

『Nevertheless, you, don’t use that “Mysterious Skill” so suddenly? 』

Hey–it’s that monster!

When I turn around, the white monster if flying, floating in the sky .

The sound of wings, it looks like I didn’t hear it over the sound of the water……

Again I’ll escape . I activate <Cerebral Demon Speed> immediately .

There’s no diving board, but–I throw my body into the underground stream .

It’s like a high jump competition in the Olympics . I do a nose dive in the waterfall .

When I collide with the water, a plunging sound echoes .

Surely, a spray of water went up .

It’s a good mark for the monster, but there’s no helping it .

The waterfall is considerably deep .

I crawl up from the deep water and reach the surface, and swim with the current .

Luckily, I’m good at swimming .

I went to the medium and high-level swimming club .

However, dirt loosens and floats . I’m dirty I say so myself .

But, I don’t worry about such a thing .

I swim faster than I run . I increase speed and swim .

Going along with the current I’m considerably fast .

I drift steadily . When the river calms down, the 20 second <Cerebral Demon Speed> burst expired .

I swim using a breast stroke to move in the quiet water, I change from a breast stroke to a crawl and swim .

After a few minutes, I saw a cave like the limestone cave .

A cave with a low ceiling, nothing organic, I go there .

I’m determined and plunge underwater . I dive deep underwater .

The temperature of the water became colder .

I swim paddling with both hands, and continued diving .

Oh? Breathing……can I go without doing it?

It’s strange, but I seem to be okay without breathing .

My left side is regenerating . The blood is flowing but……

I swim without minding it . Blue stones shined at the bottom of the river, but they disappeared and it became dark .

It became complete darkness . I activate <Night Vision . >

I continued advancing through the dark water .

As I advanced considerably, for now, once, I lifted my face up from under the water .

“Puhhaaa . ”

I inhale deeply . While air fills my lungs, I understand there’s artificial stone building when I look around, the stones building is worn here and there when I look .

I observe the stone building while swimming slowly .

There’s ruins here . Above there’s bright lights visible all around .

Mm? There’s a stair way in front of me, stairs spread out inside the water……

I crawl out of the water, seeing the light source I go up the stone stairs with soaking wet feet . On the stone, an iron pan is hanging in the air .

The orange flames illuminated a shrine .

As the undulating flames can be seen from underneath, I assume the flames in the pan are burning vigorously .

It resembles the illumination that was in the sea of bones but it seems slightly different .

When I finish climbing the stone steps, it becomes a passage resembling to character 卜 .

The stairs dropdown then spread out into the water . The stairs continuing to the right seem to spread out up to the ruins .

I chose the right hand stairs .

There may be “something” enshrined in a part of the shrine .

I climb up .

After all the stairs led to the central part . When I turn to the side to go up the smaller stairs……

“……a plaza, mm, dead gray statues are decaying, a black animal statue……”

A big stair case continued rising inside .

In the cobblestone circular plaza, was the top .

There are stairs, and something manmade is at the top, possibly .

But, for the time being, I’ll look at the stone statues .

On the circular dais is a human figure without arms or a head, an elf missing a leg, a dwarf with one arm, a statue reduced to a body and face with a horn growing from it, and other sculptures with fantasy features I haven’t seen before, statues lines up like broken ancient Greek sculptures .

But, the old statues stoop in a circle, I was worried about the black beast statue that stood in the middle .

There’s no damage and it almost looks new .

The shape clearly remains .

On top of a huge orange stone pedestal was the “Black Beast Statue,” but it had a presence like it was the master of these shrine ruins .

A mural is carved on the pedestal too .

Several candles placed as offerings were shriveled up under the mural .

Here, someone has come .

Did they come to pray to the black beast?

And, I stare at the black beast statue .

This statue…… clearly, is different from the others .

A dark colored haze appears floating on the surface .

“Unpleasant, aura? It’s like a black flame, but……”

The black flame spreads over the entire body of the black statue showing the border of the form .

Is the beast a leopard, tiger, or a lion?

I can see it some type of animal, but the face, has several feeler like things growing from under the neck .

What on earth is it……

“The eyes of the statue are red……”

Furthermore, I approach the statue .

Then, from behind, again, the voice “Inside my head . ”

『You won’t escape again . 』

Chapter 8: Mortal Combat, the Black Beast’s Roar

Again, it’s that monster .

The monster whose voice is in my head, I was going to try to turn around behind, that moment–I received several strong shocks to my back .

I’m blown forward .

the pedestal of the huge Black Beast statue collides with my head .

Oooow–Blood . A large amount of blood flies .

The pedestal is bloody . My entire body is in pain . I seem to be bleeding from the head .

The view of one of my eyes is dyed red .

Eh? What is this .

Is it because my sight has become cloudy with blood?

Is the old mural carved on the orange pedestal is moving?

Unpleasant, it’s blood, my blood, the blood squirmed .

No sooner than my blood struck to the groove on the mural it filled up the grooves like a living creature, is the blood being sucked in? The grooves are like a dry sponge……

What is this? Is that mural sucking up my blood?

Because I hit my head, am I seeing hallucinations?

The pain of the injury is felt in my whole body, more than the monster’s attack, I was surprised by the strange phenomenon in front of me .

During the faint thoughts, the part of the mural that sucked in the blood changes to black . Gradually, the picture of the mural was newly overwritten .

The same form of the black beast statue finally appears in the mural .

The statue of the black beast on top of the pedestal begins to shine at the same time .

Several cracks spread and black lantern like spark disappeared into thin air .

The sound of glass cracking resounds . Making a large sound, the huge magic circle which cracked, in an instant, materializes and the disappears .

The massive statue wearing black flames trembles with my flesh and blood, furthermore the red color changed to a darker hue .

I lost a lot of blood, am I seeing a dream?

I avert my eyes from the strange phenomenon, and look around .

At the bottom of the circumference of the pedestal, a piece of flesh fell .

I understand the blood, but a piece of meat? Is it mine?

It’s back there, a stomach, a foot, the terrible pain is delayed .

Oooooooow, it hurts too much……

『…It’s the habit of a human to flee quickly, however, you’re already severely injured . You may not be able to move? 』

Ooooooow, that monster……

Talking directly into my head again……

『But, I was too absorbed in chasing you . I should not come to this domain . Some kind of ancient god, maybe it’s an alter worshiping the old god? ……well, it’s fine . Let’s give priority to pleasure for now . 』

While I grovel on the ground, I turned my eyes behind where the monster should be .

After all, there was the hated white monster with black wings on its back .

On those red goggles, a black arm……my stomach is eaten first, my flesh was grasped in the palm of the monster .

The four jet black arms growing from the monster, some small magic formations can be seen .

The jet black color emphasizes the purple magic formations even more .

Furthermore, as if the purple magic is alive, it moves over the surface of the black skin .

It’s too weird .

At its finger-tip, a long wavy purple poisonous looking claw grows .

The purple nail waved like a flamberg, seems to have stuck in my back and foot .

As for the white monster in order to pull back its hand they shururi converge and return to their normal size .

The monster the same was as before, ate my stomach meat……

I feel sick with trembling lips watching the white monster, the upper and lower lips split with a *pakuri*, the mouth opened .

As seen before, two snake like tongue appear from the mouth .

The tongues stretch out to the piece of my flesh . The two tongue tasted the blood dripping from the piece of my flesh each like living snakes dexterously slurping up my blood .

And, a white eyes move *gyorori* .

Those goggle like things are worn, but I understand that the monster’s eyes moved .

『……Delicious, delicious . However, that’s my point of view . Are you still conscious? 』

Already, I made eye contact with the monster .

The pain is intense .

Well . I must escape with <Cerebral Demon Speed> .

……………… .

<Cerebral Demon Speed>

Eh!?

Hey, why is the skill not activating?

I used <Cerebral Demon Speed>, but for some reason, it didn’t activate .

Over and over, while conscious I try to activate it, but with a haze hanging over my thoughts it doesn’t activate .

『Pu, Fuhahahaha, it’s useless, useless haha, again you thought I was going to let you escape? 』

Shit, <Cerebral Demon Speed>!

Why?

『Really, because it’s useless . Ahahaha, this time “I won’t let you escape” didn’t I say? 』

The triumphant white monster, laughs .

However, just like that, it was no use no matter how much I tried to active <Cerebral Demon Speed> .

『Are you using the “Mysterious Skill” I don’t know? The “Cognition” part of the skill is obstructed, I learned a special paralysis poison to seal your ability . 』

What, is it that purple nail on the black arm?

To check, I open Status .

Name: Shuya Kagari

Current Condition: Abnormal: Blood Plasma Deficiency Death Illness 99: High Rank Erosion Paralysis Poison- High Bio-Invasion

The skill didn’t activate, but I seem to be able to see status .

High Bio-Invasion, is what sealed the skill .

Besides, blood plasma illness is 99……

After all, I have to run to escape from this .

More than mummification, now, it looks like I’m going to be killed…… Different World Transmigration? Choosing Vampire? What skill……

But, the thoughts of regret are interrupted by an intense pain .

–Gahaa!

Spitting out blood, my view is dyed in blood .

Can recovery not keep up with it?

That reminds me……the healing of the wound is slow .

Probably because of Blood Plasma Deficiency Death Illness .

Possibly, are the decreased abilities related?

Because I didn’t suck blood, such a paralysis poison, I was affect by the poison?

Assuming that, by any chance–really, I’m going to die?

I’m desperately trying to think, but in addition to the intense pain running through my body–my thoughts are interrupted, by the pervasive taste of blood in my mouth .

Eventually, blood overflowed from the depths of the throat .

“Cough, a, blood……no way . ”

Frustrated dying in such a place .

I desperately adapted to life underground .

I fought, oh god I want to run!!!

I fight, fiiiiight!!

However, the pain, my thoughts fade away .

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurt, it hurts, it hurts……unpleasant, unpleasant, unpleasant, unpleasant, no, no, n-o –AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

The world suddenly fades–

That moment, *dokun*, my heart beats .

My body arched, leaping, moving, I struggled .

The boiling blood, runs through my body instantly .

My bloodstream howls from inside my body, the sound of my heart jumping resounds .

The feeling of consecutive electric shocks penetrating my body .

I don’t understand if it’s the influence of the poison, but……I feel the freedom of my body being lost one by one .

Fear, regret, anger, pain, death, madness . Craving for blood .

Finally, the starvation for blood mixes with insanity, the vortex of thoughts reaches the limit .

–Throat, burning .

Blood, blood, Blood, Bloood, Blood, Bloooooood–

I can taste it my mouth, ta, drinking my own blood .

Bloooooooood, umeeeee, more, mo, mooooore!

Blood, blood, delicious . I want more .

To suck blood, only a little, I feel rational .

『You’re laughing? Did your mind become strange? What a weird human . Well, I’ll eat more of your flesh and blood . 』

Meat eating, and……are you going to supplement your diet with me? Eat me, a vampire? Stop shitting me……

Blood wriggles and rises .

“Don’t fuck with me……”

I stand up while holding the black statue with my hand .

『Mm, what is it? Suddenly starting, nuo!? Doesn’t this nature exceed that of a demon? You’re moving with blood? 』

The voice of the monster, screams no, the sound echoes in my head .

“It’s unforgivable to stand up?” (TN: Okay, this whole chapter is crazy slurring, forgive me . )

Blood wriggles, the part of my body wounded is empty, a large amount of blood overflows .

Then, aided by having swallow my own blood, my reason returned a little while ago .

However, my “desire for blood is intolerable . ”

Raising my right hand to easily cover my face .

That moment, the blood which overflowed from the wound in my body, became innumerable “blood chains . ”

The innumerable blood rotate turning around, taking on the form of a circular ball . It seems to be a barrier which totally protects me .

From the white monster guy’s side, my figure wouldn’t be seen .

『Wa!?』

The white monster was attacked by astonished thoughts .

Like that I turn over the white monster’s expectations .

“I’ll accept you blood . ”

Extremely naturally, those words appeared .

My thinking, now, is consuming blood . Blood can be sucked . I want blood . And, to be filled .

The whirlpool of thoughts swirls in the ocean of blood .

There’s a large quantity of blood over there . When I think so, I suddenly smirk .

Coming to my face, stretching out the right hand, turning a finger to the monster, offer .

The next instant I activate <Blood Chain Feast> .

The blood chain which surrounded me simultaneously all rushed forward in a wave raising a groan . The blood chains become a big swarm, one after the other each blood chain aims at the white monster completely like snakes .

The white monster fearing the blood chains approaching it, turned around with a desperate look . Showing the wings on its back . It’s trying to escape from the blood chains . Innumerable blood chains approached the white armor creature who is going to escape .

What the first blood chain penetrated–was the foot of the monster .

“GYAA!!”

Fuhaha, the first time I hear its voice is a scream .

Foot penetrated the monster falls down . The wings flutter . Extending four black hands in the air while groveling on the ground, trying to stop the approaching blood chains, but it’s useless .

Blood chains are also being formed by the blood scattered around the area .

Those new blood chains are also added to the storm of blood, and the swarm of blood chains turn on the back of the monster .

The semi-transparent wings were penetrated . The blood chains coil around the body of the monster from behind . The current state of the white armor is buried by vermillion blood chains .

Fuhahaha, I bound the monster tightly .

In fact, its wearing the chains like a costume now .

Finally only the scruff and head of the white monster are visible, only the face became visible .

『W-wait, wait, aaaah』

The white monster speaks, becoming flustered .

“What the hell are you saying?”

I coldly declare .

Instantly while I approach the bound monster, I catch the head of the white monster solidly in both hands .

I hold down the nail growing from the monster’s hand so that it cut into its own face .

In order to laugh–I opened my mouth .

Two transformed canines protrude, the teeth extend a little, becoming sharp .

And, I forcefully bit into the monster’s neck .

I suck the blood immediately . I greedily consume it .

–Bloooooood, delicioooouuus .

※Blood Lust was able to be Appeased※ ※Blood Rampage※ ※Blood Frenzy Chaos Tick Out Cancelled※

That moment–A slight phosphorescence occurs in the white monster .

It flows into me .

It’s different from the blood .

I instantly felt refreshed .

The monster becomes emaciated before my eyes .

Before long the whole body dries up, becoming a skeleton where only a little red pool of blood remains on the surface .

The machine like white armor falls to the ground with the bones .

Then–an illuminated whit cross of light appears illuminated in front of me .

※Pikon※ ※Crest of Light Activated※

※Spirit Pollution Cancelled by Crest of Light※

The mysterious white light is emitted by the cross and chain mark on the left side of my chest .

It’s coming from the cross and chain mark .

The bloodstained thoughts returned to normal .

This corpse……this white monster, was a “virgin”……

Seeing the bones in from of me, I’m choked .

“Oetsu .

No, I get it . Wanting blood……I was conscious .

I wanted power, I desired blood .

And, I got power . Race evolution and Power of True Ancestor .

It’s certain something in me changed

The blood starvation was resolved, but I feel a change in the quality of my mind .

The sound of my heart resounds in my ears . My, way of perceiving sound changed? My hearing became sharper, the silence was became deeply longer .

“But, I’m tired……”

I fall down in front of “Black Best Statue” which is covered in blood and pass out .

◇◇◇◇

Wavering consciousness–

In the muddy and partial consciousness–

『Splendid……』

I hear a voice .

『Splendid……It’s a human and a follower of darkness . A man with a cross of light carved in his soul . 』

Mm? Earth tremor……an echoing voice . Again is it a voice in my head?

『If you would like to know my name is Sonata . 』

I stand up incited by the sound of the voice .

I turned my eyes to where I heard the voice .

There is a wide blue sky, and a dazzling sun . Lushly green, there was a view of a land I didn’t know .

“What……here……”

While looking around, I move forward, and the space blurred like a mirage .

After killing the monster, did I black out?

A cave……I should have been in some old ruins .

Is here a different world?

One step at a time, I walk in the mysterious place .

One step, to advance, grass and flowers bloomed where I stepped and the smell of flowers filled the air .

Just like, flowers, as if blessing me who walks .

The petals are enchanted with a mysterious shining hue . When I think the shade is purple and white another time it changes to deep-red and shines brighter .

『This way……』

Again I heard it . A transparent voice……

I go in the direction of the voice, and begin to hear the howls of animals from all around .

Is it the howling of wolves?

A howl louder than before going ahead .

Then, again the space shakes .

This time a cliff appeared in front of me .

The opposite side is visible .

When I move to the cliff, a shining black ball appeared making a *kyuinkyuin* sound .

I stretch out my hand to touch the black ball . However, the black ball avoided my hand smoothly so it may be aware .

The blackball drifts about floating moving between the two cliffs .

Mm? What was that?

From the place where the black ball passed, a bridge of faintly shining transparent plants rises .

The bridge of shining plants is quickly created, the two cliffs were connected .

“I’m supposed to go this way?”

The black ball answered 『This way…』in return .

It can’t be helped . Let’s cross this bridge…… .

Summoning courage, I put my foot on the fantasy bridge .

All right . It’s transparent, but I can walk . It’s a bridge .

As the surface of the bridge is transparent ivy I can see inside clearly .

It’s odd, but a stream of light flowed through the bridge .

Light travels through the bridge like shooting stars .

It’s an extremely beautiful fantasy bridge .

When I finish walking across such a fantasy bridge to the other cliff, the black ball disappears, again the spaces begins to blur, and the scenery changes .

A pale sky appeared and scenery became fixed, and if I think, this time, clouds spread out across the sky .

On a pure white cloud . The sky becomes blue, and the sun illuminates it brightly .

Indeed it’s heaven?

Suddenly having such an impression, again, the black ball appears before me . The black ball, makes its appearance limp and deformed .

It finally settled into the figure of the black beast .

Is it the statue from before? It’s similar .

The figure of the black beast is slightly smaller than how it appeared as a statue, it was the figure of a realistic animal .

A sleek coat of fur black like volcanic glass .

The fur appears like that of a black panther and as soft as a black horse .

The ears stand up tautly, the eyes are bright red .

The pupils are like a “cat . ”

But, it looks like a big lion .

The beautiful shine of the fair black shade of the long big long snout, sharp fangs peeked out reminding me of the carnivorous saber-toothed tiger from the imposing beast .

The characteristic splendid grey mustache of the cat family surrounded its mouth .

The appearance of the full black mane that gradual spread out from the throat of the lion displayed the dignity of the best . The glossy black fur of the body creates an image of a black panther .

However, this “black beast,” isn’t a simple animal .

What stands out most, was a strange feature .

The strange thing was “six long thick feelers” growing from the scruff of the black beast .

They’re black tentacles . (TN: I think we all know where this is going . )

Wriggling in the air like living things, they continued moving expanding and contracting…… .

Something like small wings also grew on the upper part of the body .

Mysterious .

The twin red eyes in the face of the black beast, turn and see me, and spoke directly into my head .

『You’ve done well, coming here . A man with both light and darkness……what are you called? 』

“Eeeeeh, my name is Shuya, Shuya Kagari . ”

Is this guy using telepathy?

Nevertheless it’s red . Red eyes……

『Is that so, Shuya, that fight a while ago . It was a splendid struggle! I felt it, I saw it . My blood boiled for the first time in a very long time . Wooooon . 』

The black beast stretched its face up, shook its throat and howled .

The air shook and vibrated with a thump, the wind blows with the peculiar smell of the beast, and my hair flutters .

I was startled……

Apart from that, it watched the fight from earlier?

“That is so . I watched . Sonata and something white, the figure of Shuya fighting . 』

“You can read my mind? I’m being overheard……so, where am I?”

The black beast there, with a weak high-pitched voice in my head, changed to the deep-bass voice that came from the beast’s big mouth .

“That’s so . Anyway, here is my ‘inner world . '”

“Ah, I see, so the mysterious mirage and the transparent bridge, and now on top of a cloud . ”

It’s a common thing……

The black beast which read my thoughts opens its mouth wide and laughs .

“To be common……grrrr, as expected . You catch on quickly . ”

It answered while roaring from its throat .

Groaning for a moment, I stiffen and return a question .

“……So, what kind of business could you have with me?”

“As for that . I want you to pledge a ‘blood oath’ with me . ”

The black beast says so, and lowers its head .

“Blood Oath? What is that?”

The black beast raises its head, and stared at me with red eyes .

A short silence spread .

And, the black beast moves little by little to talk with its big tongue to speak like a human .

“……With a blood oath, a fixed “condition” is accepted, it refers to a contract with me . ”

“Hou . ”

I fold my arms .

“With the blood oath, I can completely break the barrier . As for Shuya, Sonata receives a “familiar” or “servant,” “with a body” I may go to the outside world . ”

“I’ll have a ‘familiar’ or ‘servant’? My pet or servant?”

A pet like a cat and dog? I wonder……

“Me . It’s the same as a vassal or a retainer . I carefully read the thought where you called me a pet, that’s right . It’s just like that . But, thought exists in me, to be free . ”

Freedom, it has a big mouth, but he talks dexterously .

“So, what about the ‘condition’?”

“First is transferring part of the demon spirit to share the same soul . The second condition is already met . The third is my wish . Due to it being thought of as ‘the most difficult part'” Therefore, this may take time . ”

Sharing one soul……what does that mean?

“Joint ownership of the soul and transfer of the demon origin?”

“As for that, it is connected with the second condition . Shuya, the flesh and blood of Sonata is necessary . The flesh and blood of a dark family is one of the conditions . But, that is……you met the flesh and blood condition of Sonata by spreading blood all over the area . The flesh and blood becomes my new body……when doing so ‘one part’ of Shuya’s soul and memories ‘flow into me . '”

My flesh and blood and demon element become the new body of the black beast…… .

“It’s such a thing……my flesh and blood becomes your body . Then a part of my “demon element and soul” flows in and is shared……It’s some philosophical talk, do my memories help you? Is it correct to think my spiritual power will be reduced?”

After the black beast nodded, and answered calmly .

“That’s right . It doesn’t change that Shuya’s soul will become my ‘nourishment . ’ But, it’s not snatching away all the spiritual strength for Shuya to become my master?”

Certainly, taking all of my spiritual power, I would become a disabled person once I noticed .

“It’s not that kind of one-sided contract . ”

“I’m relieved……so, you said the third of the three conditions is the hardest?”
