The next day, I was coming to the dungeon to collect magic stones as usual.
The so-called "ant's nest" is a burrow where a high-ranking monster named Gladiator Ant once lived, and is a wide maze-like dungeon.
The gladiator ant itself has not been exterminated, but the elements that have oozed into the ground from its corpse create a number of magic stones.
However, it's been a long time since I couldn't find any big guys, and I'm the only adventurer who has visited here recently. He earns a stable amount, but he is poor.
"Oh, I wonder if I could find a big game like yesterday."
I know I can't help saying it, but it just comes to my mouth.
Yesterday's beastman-no regrets about giving Senna money.
However, it was painful to loosen the purse string at the bar next to it. Maybe even if money runs out, only feelings have grown.
I ordered only as much as I could for sake and food, and when I realized I was spending a lot of money.
If you don't make up for it yesterday, your standard of living will suddenly drop on the day you can't move because of an injury.
That alone must be avoided at all costs.
"But yesterday I was happy to eat meat after a long absence ..."
Roasted pork belly roasted with roasted pork skin and roasted brown-eared bulbul that can be eaten up to the bones, with beef boned meat of fat gitogito.
It was a blissful time to pour a table of meat dishes in an ale chilled in kinkin with well water. Drool droops just by remembering.
"I'm gonna be luxurious again ..... Let's explore deeper today."
Working for the sole purpose of saving can be depressing.
I keep collecting gemstones as I go down the torch in one hand.
On the way, slimes and ropers attacked me, but if this was the case, I would return.
I was able to store a lot of magic stones while doing my best. That's not enough to cover yesterday's splurge.
Well, if you do your best tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will be able to return a little. When I turned around to return, I felt the nape hair standing upside down.
"What is it?"
What was waiting for me, who was surprised by the chills that couldn't be known, was a strong shake.
"Damn! Earthquake!"
The ground shakes wobbly, and I cannot stand and kneel down.
Unfortunately, the quake is quite large. If you continue to shake, the dungeon may collapse and be buried alive.
I have to go out as soon as possible!
But the moment I manage to stand, I lose my feet.
Suddenly, my body began to fall in the air. Yes, the ground of the dungeon collapsed due to the earthquake.
While falling, I was born and remembered so fast.
No wonder, no fear or impatience. Oh, I guess I understand that this is not going to help. It was only sad that it was an unrewarded life.
And when I was passive, I fell from a height that could not be helped, and I was crushed and died.
†
The head is crushed, the contents begin to spill, and the limbs are twisted in different directions. I was looking down at such a terrible my corpse while floating fluffy.
"Hey, this is what happens when a human falls from a high place."
After seeing the impressions of others, I check my body in "Now."
The translucent my body floating in this air.
"This is a ghost ..."
The creature's soul will be scattered if there is no physical body, but it will mutate into an undead monster called ghost depending on the environment with high concentration of magic.
In fact, the basement of the ant nest where I fell has a very high concentration of magic. Anyway, the magic stone crystallized by the element is spreading all over the wall.
The faint light they emit makes this vast sunlit underground space so bright that you can see it.
I think that selling all these high-quality magic stones would be tremendous money, but it was irrelevant to me being dead.
"... Anyway, I have to do something."
The ghosted soul loses its ego if left untouched, and attacks other creatures. I absolutely don't want to be such an annoying being.
Only monks and saints who can handle sacred magic can do this. You have to get out of here and rely on them while you are conscious. I'm a servant of God, so if I cry and ask, I'll do something.
If you decide to do so, will you come out quickly?
I look up at the hole where I fell, and try to come up higher. Then, the altitude gradually increased.
Yeah, this is how it is. It was good to hear the story of a Buddhist monk who had previously contacted the ghostly soul. It seemed true that ghosts could fly freely in the sky.
Then, when I climbed to a considerable height, I was worried about the bottom. Before I casually look down, I find something to be surprised.
"What is there ..."
It was what I thought was a wall. But when looked down, it turned out to be a huge object, not a wall.
Even if you look down from this height, it is huge enough that the whole picture is dim, but I guess it is a ship to see the rough shape.
No, that's not a boat-
"... whale?"
