I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. In addition, they also seem to have strong physical resistance.

Aside from physical resistance, the clothes acquired in the labyrinth are already tattered all over the place. The fact that they are sturdy and do not deteriorate is a real relief.

And so begins the strange communal life with Fafnir.

The dwelling is made of wood from the surrounding area to read books slowly. Some of the books I acquired in the labyrinth were construction books, so I think I was able to build it quite elaborately.

I'm currently cooking with meat from thunder cows from the 290th floor.

Incidentally, salt was obtained by putting water from the seawater zone on the 170th to 180th floors into an item box, then putting it into a kiln-like item acquired in the labyrinth and searing it with a flaming sword. We have time, and we've accumulated quite a bit of stock.

It's delicious!

Fafnir happily popped the meat into his mouth like a squirrel's cheek pouch.

'That's good to hear,'

When I also put the meat in my mouth, an indescribable sweetness spreads in my mouth.

Hmmm, it's nice to sit around a table with others like this, isn't it? I've spent most of my life in bocce, so I can have a conversation with them. That alone is enough to take my mind off of things.

The craving for life with a strong man, akin to a sense of mission, is still smoldering, but thanks to Fafnir's arrival, it has subsided considerably.

It's a win-win relationship, I guess.

--About 13,000 years after the start of the game

You have reached the 400th layer. Now, in the Trial Room, I'm facing a huge, long-nosed creature in armor. This creature was in an otherworldly animal book that I unearthed in the labyrinth. I think it was called 'elephant' or something like that. But this one is not a four-legged creature, but a bipedal one.

I praise you for reaching this level of hierarchy in the presence of a rookie god, I am an evil god, Kirimekara!

It's a very pompous demon. And I'm not just talking about the "evil gods": ...... I think that's a bit much. I wonder if this is a disease that retains the delusions I read about in books that made me fall into a boyhood delusion.

Hey, Faf, what do you think of this guy?

Faf is a fafnir. It's a long name, so I've been calling it Faf for the last hundred years because it got tedious.

'Kill them!'

Faf thrusting his right hand knuckles up to the heavens.

Yes, yes, as usual, Faf is a bit of a racket.

When I tried to train Faf in combat to pass the time, he got so addicted to it that he became such a battle-crazed personality. I feel like I've failed to raise him perfectly. As I thought, I must set an example as a parent.

"Hey, monster, surrender to me now. Surrender now, monster, and we'll let you go.

I'll show you in a nutshell the best path for him.

"Surrender to me, ......?

The long-nosed creature has a low voice as it rattles and shakes all over its body.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. It's obvious when you face it. There is a difference in strength between this guy now and me. The book says that small animals understand their unbeatable opponent by instinct, and this might be exactly what it is right now.

Yes, don't be frightened. I will do everything in my power to let you off the hook, from bugs to dragons, if you don't hurt me.

In the past, they used to kill you without question, but in light of the recent turmoil in Fafu, they have become quite mild in this way.

"Ki, you, you, I, I, I, I, I, I am the first vassal of the Great God Mara, the evil God Girimekara! It's a position that is essentially impossible for a lowly god to talk to--

"I see. You refuse.

I was a little annoyed by the persistent and delusional burriness of the self-introduction, so I attached my magic armor to the lightning cutter and swung it with all my magical power.

An uncommon amount of white light rolled up, and the self-proclaimed evil god instantly became extinguished charcoal.

''Master, you're very good! It's a quick kill!

Why is that? It's like the sensibility of Fafu got even worse. Well, let's see. Common sense doesn't happen overnight. Let them learn slowly.

Anyway, as a result, I got a special clearing bonus item called "The Book of Defeats".

--------------------- ...

The souls of beings defeated in [God's Ordeal] are linked with the owner of the reference book, and then stored in the reference book world, where their bodies are created using magic power. The spirit of the being defeated in [Diehl] is connected to the owner of the Encyclopedia, and then stored in the world of the Encyclopedia.

However, only the first person who uses the book for the first time can summon a defeated being to be stored in the book as the owner thereafter. In addition, the size of the book's world and its capacity depends on the owner's magic power.

Item Rank: Transcendent Grade

And then appears in front of you, 'There is the soul of Gili Mekara. Do you want to capture it in the illustrated book?' A transparent board with the words "I'm not going to try it.

Hmm, there's one, there's no way I won't try it. I press [Yes] with my right index finger, and the picture book begins to glow, and when the page opens on its own, there's that long-nosed monster in there.

Hmm. This is interesting. I have an infinite amount of time anyway. If I can use it, I'll try to complete the book from the first floor again.
