Volume 1
→ Secret Dungeon.
.
That's what this place is called, the place where I stand now, a dungeon that has never been entered and the world has not been aware of.
Because there was some kind of barrier that prevented other people from getting inside.
The entrance was closed. And there were no stairs to go down.
Protection by powerful beasts. No other adventurer knew how to enter this place.
And because of that, he who finds a way to enter must be hailed as a great person.
And because of being underestimated, one day I accidentally found a note of the method needed to enter this Dungeon.
The Secret Dungeon was the kind of place that no one else had mapped.
"It's just the third floor. And what's with the monsters that appear, this is beyond reason!"
Facing a figure that looked like a flying woman, and I could only scream. Just from looking at it, I could tell it was a very strong enemy.
Her chest moved along with the huge wings fluttering with her movements, she thrust into her sharp claws. At this point all she could do was resist.
I hurriedly used [Skill Judging], one of the skills I acquired on the previous floor, to judge the strength of the opponent.
... And it turns out that I met an enemy that was much stronger than I expected.
Name: Lilith
Gender: Female
Race: Demon
Level: 99
Skills: [Active] Instant Death
For a level 20 like me, this was already a very strong enemy, not only that, the skills looked really bad.
Skills summary is as follows.
[Instant Death]
"After receiving unavoidable damage. The opponent will then be absolutely eliminated."
So in essence, taking one hit it ended my life. Because there was no way I could face it. Then I used [Skill Transforming], another skill that I also acquired on the floor before, and tried to erase [Instant Death] from his skill list.
[Instant Death] delete: 1000 EP
"Whoah, no way"
"Then I'll copy it!"
[Instant death] copy: 800 EP
"What is this ?"
Removing those skills would render them useless, and copying them would be of great use to me at times like these. But to do so I need EP, energy points.
But at the moment I don't have more than 600 EPs, so deleting or copying those skills will only result in my death.
"Ice Bullet Skill!"
Then I realized, just now I copied a skill called [Ice Bullet] to use it it only costs 100 EP and with the other 100 EP I used a modifying skill to increase the damage power of this skill.
I felt my power disappear, as my point energy decreased to 400 EP, but I'm fine. And today, there's no way I'll end up here.
Take a deep breath.
"Geez, let's finish it!"
○ ● ○
Why am I in a place like this?
Am I capable of accomplishing anything great?
Returned a few days earlier.
I got up from my slightly dull bed, headed for another room in my house. That morning I was faced with something completely different, in the form of its perfect mucus the mother pressed her rubbery chest against my body.
"I'm sorry, Gil! I'm really sorry, even though you won't be able to forgive!"
With a shocked voice, I suddenly accepted an apology. This is the first time I've seen mom do this.
"Mother, please release your arms. What happened?"
"Actually, it's about the news that's already circulating..."
I am Gil, the son of the slime creature.
Some time ago I came out of the slime village. In the forest I was made fun of by them, it didn't really hurt, but when I knew they were insulting my people it was very painful.
Because of the condition of my people, our race is often underestimated by other races. Because of that, I decided to become stronger and chose to venture into the outside world.
A place where I can prove it, and I have to become an adventurer. Because I liked my people since I was young, I was devastated by their humiliation.
"Don't worry, mom, I'm motivated enough by that."
"Aah, it's not like that, I would rather you ignore them"
"Mother, I want to become stronger! Aren't you motivating me yourself. We've talked about it, haven't we? Don't forget that"
"Humm, Gil, I can't live without you now ... Isn't there any more room for mom? Sob."
I felt a headache. When I heard the ridiculous words that came out of the figure of this woman in front of me.
For a monster like us, being at the end of the monster ranking ladder was a satisfaction in itself. Unlike the dragon race, it was the strongest top ranked monster among the other races.
"Mother, please let go. I might think of mother as my life goal. But I always think of ways to become even stronger, and bring our people to the top of the monster rankings. But I know it's not easy"
"Ouh, my son!"
"But still, I still have a lot to do right now."
"Sob, are you hungry? Mom just made your favorite breakfast. Come on, hurry up and eat, it's not good to eat it cold"
"Then what now? In order for you to become an adventurer, even if that happens, there will be many challenges that you have to overcome."
"Gosh, you are right my sister..."
Changed with my sad mother, and now my sister joins our chat.
"Brother Gil, you better think about this plan, how about you just find the Secret Dungeon?"
"No way, we know that Dengeon was never found!"
"Then, I'll show you something, my brother!"
"Thank you, Elly. But we'd better eat this breakfast soon. And let's save first my cute little sister's plan. For now I will focus on practicing my skills"
Stroking Elly's soft head, it felt rubbery and a little slippery.
I decided to take a walk looking for an efficient way to use my skills. In my current mood, hoping that the wind could blow the restlessness I felt. While walking towards the farthest area from the sacred forest, the figure of a beautiful girl rushed over to me, her chest.
trembled violently as it came.
"Morning, Gil! Is there a problem?"
"Ah, hi, good morning, Lilia"
Adorned with a hair ornament of red flowers that bloomed beautifully, her green hair was straight and flowing beautifully.
The girl who is always beside me, Lilia.
She is a race of Alraune, my best friend, who is 160 years old and also a girl who is full of affection. Thanks to her promising appearance, she has turned into a beautiful woman who is much fought over, coupled with the size of her extraordinary chest.
"From today we will both become adventurers! Let's train hard together, wahahaha!"
While he was imitating several large monster figures, I told him about the restlessness that gripped me.
"There you go, Lilia"
"... Yes? W-What? Wait, wait a minute, so you're not sure about yourself?"
"It seems, because it is impossible. But, I will always support you, Lilia"
Thanks to their bloodline, the Alraune race has a different life from us. Because my people are close friends with their race, our childhood was full of togetherness.
Our monster ranks differ greatly, but he's never been a monster that brags about such things, because we've always had a strong mutual symbiotic relationship.
"So, hey, what's wrong with you? Don't be sad, instead of thinking about it for yourself we better discuss it, right?"
"But, but ... Previously I even came across an ancient text that I'm sure you will be interested in! But ended up hearing something sad."
"Something that interests me?"
"It has to do with your skills. Yesterday when I was exploring the dungeon in the forest. I found an ancient archive in a closed room"
"Oh, something about Copying skills, right? Then? Say it"
[Skill Copying]
A very rare skill, and rarely possessed by other creatures, so I'm currently the only owner of this skill.
When I was about a third of a century old and identified by the forest spirit, my mother jumped for joy.
The reason was that it was such a great skill, another famous great figure acquired that skill, which as a result made himself the strongest in the world and no one dared to fight him.
A skill with an unclear effect. However, in this case, it was a wasted reward for falling into the wrong hands.
I can't use it.
Well, to be exact to be able to use it, but after using that skill.
It made my heart beat hard. My head was attacked by the intense pain, it felt like it was about to explode.
Until now I refuse to use it. Enduring such pain, just to copy a skill that I can't use. I don't want to waste my life.
"There is a line that says, that when he feels like exploding with pain. He will gather his harem, and he kiss them to reduce the pain."
"Haah, he must be crazy about that kind of thing"
"Yes, that's right! That person might also feel pain when he uses the skill. What if kissing the opposite s*x is something that can ease the pain?"
"... Maybe, I guess"
"Right? Why don't you try it?"
"Haah, who? Me and you?"
"Well, no one else, right? I mean, I'm your best friend so something like a kiss is a thing ... In the outside world, humans kiss each other like a greeting, you know that? So I'll be fine. What"
Seeing Lilia answer while confused like that, I accidentally laugh. Because of how nice she is to me, and whether she's okay when helping out for my sake.
"Okay, let's try it"
"Wait, now? How about looking elsewhere, so that no one sees it!"
"Right, it's too flashy in here. And where, huh?"
"Holy tree, up there the view is very good, let's go!"
I'm not sure of following it, but it looks like we actually climbed up a large tree in the middle of the sacred forest.
"Thank you . . ."
"You are welcome"
Her lips are soft, and filled with warmth. But I still can't get over the worries about the skill's side effects.
"Gil, good luck!"
While fear arose within me, Lilia hugged me from the front. My courage immediately rose again.
"Fine, I'll try to copy your skills!"
[Skill Copying]
I have to become stronger in order to become a great adventurer and not be underestimated by the others.
What will happen, will this method work?
Copying skills, select the skills you will copy.
[Whip Throne] costs 500 EP
[Miasma] costs 500 EP
[Sleep] costs 300 EP
... This ... The pain doesn't appear!
It's up to this point where the pain usually starts getting stronger, but I'm still fine
I accidentally voiced my thoughts.
"At this moment I'm fine!"
I chose one of the skills I wanted to copy [Sleep] which costs 300 EP
... Gives a sleep effect to a single target, has a low rate of hitting the opponent.
I'm still curious about the word EP that appears in my mind.
"Ah, now it's starting to hurt. Like my head is being filled with something too much!"
"Gil, should I kiss you again ?!"
"Yes, please, Lilia!"
We kissed once again. And I just thought, the pain disappeared immediately.
Incredible, it turns out that this method is very effective. But the pain is still lingering over me. So after trying this skill I immediately canceled it.
"You're welcome, next time just tell me if you want to try your skills ..."
On the way home, I thanked Lilia, and her face started to turn red.
"Thanks for today. And is it okay, to kiss you again someday?"
"Umm ... Ugh, yeah, there's no other choice, right?"
Saying goodbye to the girl who has been accompanying me, then I go home as soon as possible.
Mother suddenly hugged me again.
"I'm sorry, don't leave the mother like this, O my child!"
"... Mother! I need some breathing space. I was looking for a way to soften my skills to make it more efficient to use!"
"Aah, ouh, so that's why"
Immediately I entered my room. After a day with Lilia, somehow I felt homesick when I was away from him.
"Brother, are you sleeping?"
I heard my little sister's voice so soft. But I felt like I had no more energy. Then I let her open the door to my own room.
When the sun was right on his knees, suddenly on top of this body lay that sweet slime figure. He stuck to my face, and that I could not resist.
"Did you find that method yet?"
"Yes, but I'm still not sure. I still have to train it a lot."
It seems like it makes my little sister a little curious. I read it from the look on the face she made.
And now I have another goal, to enter that Secret Dungeon.
