35 – Dungeon (3)
Walking around in the dark, relying on a small light, a horror game came to mind.
I move forward relying on an unsafe flashlight.
A horror game where ghosts suddenly appear.
I did it often before doing the , But it wasn’t enough to surprise me in any way.
However, after becoming possessed, I realized that the true fear was not ghosts, but people.
‘I’m especially scared of Lily’s cooking!’
Until today, the fourth day, Lily came every day with a poisonous substance called Sasik.
The sandwich (slime) was surprising, but the food brought after that was even more spectacular.
Vegetable porridge that has hardened into stone.
Roasted chicken legs that come alive as soon as you chew them.
And even the purple liquid called health juice that I brought today.
-Run away
Despite the health juice warning, I ate a full meal today, enduring the bad smell.
‘Well, thanks to you, I found this place too, so it doesn’t matter.’
It is said that after drinking the health juice, he had a seizure and hit his head against the wall like crazy.
I have no memories of that time,
This is a story I heard from a witch, so it still doesn’t feel real.
How could someone have a seizure after drinking a glass of juice?
‘… No, is it possible with Lily?’
Everything she has brought with her so far has shattered common sense.
Even juice is not an exception, so it is not surprising.
As I thought about that, I began to fear that Lily would come back tomorrow.
‘But thanks to you, I found this place.’
I thought positively as I illuminated my surroundings with light magic light.
While checking the cavernous wall after Lily left, She found out that there was space beyond the wall.
At first she thought she was mistaken, but when she tried breaking down the wall, she found a way down to the basement.
I’m currently going down to the basement and taking a look.
‘Magic power is being consumed like no joke.’
Obviously, Light is a magic that consumes almost no magic power.
Even though we made the light as small as possible, just maintaining it was daunting.
‘This is room number 4, it’s more than that.’
It’s hard to stay still even in room 4.
If you use magic while rapidly increasing your magic power, the magic power that you already lack will disappear.
‘But my training is going better than I thought.’
After all, there is no training better than actual combat.
Check out your own magical power that is growing minutely,
In order to unravel the secret of room 4, I stepped further inward.
The basement is not as wide as expected and is connected like a small tunnel.
Looking at the fact that there is no structure such as a hanger or light fixture on the wall to hold the torch.
It is clear that the person who created this place had good night vision or had some other way to light up the surroundings.
“Already arrived, naat!”
Let’s reach the end of the tunnel,
Suddenly, the light source grew bigger and an intense light hit my eyeballs.
I thought I was going blind for a moment, but as time passed, I felt the pain gradually ease.
“Oh my, it’s snow.”
Although my vision is still not clear,
It has improved a lot, at least enough to look around.
You can rest assured that the risk of blindness has disappeared by reducing the light appropriately.
“This is…” .”
(Indeed, that’s what happened.)
“Did you find out something?”
When my vision returned, all I could see was an unknown machine in the center.
However, the location gave an explanation as if it had figured out the identity of the machine.
(That machine is the culprit of Room 4.)
“The culprit?”
(The essence of the machine is to collect magical power and liquefy it. In short, the liquid collected inside can be said to be an extract of people’s magical energy gathered together.)
“!”
When I heard the description of the location, I got goosebumps for a moment.
If her explanation is correct, the number of deaths of students in room 4 so far is
Doesn’t that mean it was someone’s work?
As I approached the unidentified machine, I could see a blue liquid flowing over it.
Infinitely clear and beautiful blue light.
It is truly terrifying to think that this is all human magic.
(I don’t think they were collected in just one place.)
Looking around at the following explanation,
In addition to the passage I passed through, there were about three other passages.
In other words, there are other places to collect magic power other than room 4.
I don’t know for what purpose the magic power was collected, but
I was confident that he was at least not sane.
No matter how much magic power is needed, it is taken to the point where it even takes a person’s life.
There is no way such a vicious person could be sane.
(…For now, let’s take that magic extract.)
“For what?”
I don’t know what it was for, but honestly, I didn’t think I wanted to take it.
In my eyes, it is not liquified magic power,
Because it feels like human life.
How many lives were sacrificed to make this amount of extract?
When I think about it that way, I don’t want to mess with it….
(If you drink that, your magic power will increase!)
“Okay! “Take it all!”
Then the words will be different.
You can easily increase your magic power, but there’s no way you wouldn’t take it just because you’re scared.
If I don’t take this, the dead person won’t come back.
If you leave it alone, you never know what the guy who created this place will do.
In that case, wouldn’t it be better for me to use it sparingly?
“Can I just move it into a container?”
(I think it’s okay. If the extract is concentrated like this, it won’t easily deteriorate even if it comes in contact with the air.)
I said the location is safe, so
Immediately, I took out a small oak barrel from the bag hidden inside my clothes.
It is just the right size to have enough room to contain the extract contained in the machine.
Let’s touch the machine as instructed by the location, rejoicing at the small fortune.
Blue liquid began to pour into the oak barrel.
“… “I guess I’ll just have to level up for a while.”
As I looked at the magic extract pouring out, I felt that it was a bit dangerous.
If you drink that, your magical power will increase immediately.
If you drink too much, it is clear that your body will not be able to withstand it and will collapse.
Then the first thing to do is level up.
In , Level refers to a person’s vessel.
Even if you raise your level, you will not get stronger all of a sudden,
Instead, the limit on the ability level that can be raised is greatly increased.
What would happen if I only raised my abilities without raising my level?
If you put something beyond the limit in a bowl, it will naturally overflow or the bowl will break.
It’s the same thing.
If you only raise your abilities without raising your level,
If power exceeds the limit, it overflows, or the body reaches its limit and collapses.
In other words, the purpose is to expand the vessel that can receive magic extract by raising the level.
‘I’ve hunted a lot of golems and my level has risen, but I’m a little lacking.’
I don’t know how much it will increase, but I felt that the current level was a bit lacking.
In that case, let’s go to dungeons and raise our level rather than training for the time being.
Thinking like that, he put the oak barrel in and hurriedly left the place.

“That’s strange.”
The black human doll tilted its head in front of the empty machine.
According to calculations, it should be full around this time.
But inside the machine, instead of the object he wanted.
Only emptiness took its place.
Someone found out about this place.
The black doll quickly reached a conclusion without much deliberation.
“Indeed. “I don’t know what kind of rat you are, but I figured it out.”
If you just listen to his tone, he seems very angry,
The energy felt on his face was not anger.
Infinite curiosity.
The emotion he harbored was an infinite search for the intruder who found out about this place.
Even though the item he was trying to take disappeared,
The black doll, steeped in madness, left the scene without any regrets.
For Mormot, whom we will meet again someday.
I decided to be patient for a while.
***
“Liberation!”
Finally! Finally!
I was finally able to escape from that hellish prison!
Do I need to say how difficult it was?
When the day came for me to leave,
Even students in other prisons congratulated me sincerely.
They must have suffered just as much as me.
The poison created by Lily would have spread beyond cell number 4 and throughout the prison.
But that too is liberation from today!
You don’t have to eat Lily’s poison anymore.
That fact alone brings tears of joy to my eyes.
(Then shall we go level up first?)
“Probably so.”
As I answered the question about the location, I looked at the bag on my waist.
The magic extract currently sleeping in my bag.
After taking a quick sip, I realized that at least my Levelon wasn’t enough.
I can’t even estimate it yet, but if I raise it by 20, I can accept it all.
Until then, the only thing I can do is drink in moderation and check my condition.
“Uh, Kerrion?”
“It’s been a while. Have you had any problems so far?”
As if he knew I had suffered inside,
I met Kerrion after a long time and greeted him warmly with a suspicious smile.
‘I really had a hard time.’
Anyone can see that Kerrion looks suspicious. It’s been a while since I met you, and I couldn’t be happier.
But why was she waiting at the prison entrance?
I definitely didn’t say a word about going to jail.
“… Hey. “Let me ask you just one question.”
“Any answer I can give.”
A possibility that crossed my mind.
I don’t really want to believe it, but I asked him about a possibility he wanted to deny for confirmation.
“Is it you who told Lily about my location?”
“Yes.”
“… ….”
Yes, it was this guy.
You are the one who immediately raised my training to the level of hell!
“Die!”
She swung her fist with all her anger, but Kerrion just smiled and dodged it.
Nevertheless, she did not give up and swung her fist until her anger was relieved,
She eventually collapsed from exhaustion.

“Are you okay?”
“hahahaha. Haak.”
While I was breathing heavily, Kerrion looked perfectly fine, showing no signs of fatigue.
What on earth is this guy?
That question arose, but she decided not to ask because she didn’t want to get involved.
“I have news for you.”
“What is it? “Have they changed the academy uniform to a micro bikini?”
I don’t have much expectations, but I would be happy if I really changed my school uniform to a micro bikini….
“It has been decided that we will be forced to participate in the F class exam.”
“… What?”
What kind of bullsh*t is this?
