Since it is a dungeon and a maze, it naturally gives the impression of complexity and darkness.

In fact, complexity and variability depend on the circumstances, and darkness is not always the same.

The underground city has a number of floors.

The higher the number of floors, that is, the further from the ground, the stronger the monster born from the floor.

The terrain and nature of the underground city will vary based on fixed floors.

As soon as Noah entered the dungeon and came to the first floor of the dungeon, a maze appeared in front of him like a tunnel somewhere.

The walls are pale blue, surrounded by no crevices, some only walls made entirely of rock, but with an unknown light source that illuminates every passage.

The adventurers who came in from Babetari walked into the corridors in leisurely steps and disappeared into Noah's sight.

To enter the underground city, you have to walk step by step, no matter which floor you want to reach.

So even those higher-level adventurers have to walk down the first floor of the underground city to the second floor, then down the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, one footprint at a time.

Therefore, the first basement floor is arguably the safest place.

That's not only because the monsters here are the lowest level, but also the weakest monster relationship, because there are so many adventurers going down through this level that any monsters will be solved, and there won't be a lot of monsters attacking together.

This is not a good thing for Noah.

“If that's okay, I really don't want even the testers to have to go looking for the little monster who's left alone...”

Speaking as if a senior player in a game would shake his head to say the words, Noah shook his head with a smile and drilled into a passage with few people.

The terrain of the underground city, though not necessarily on every floor, will not suddenly change shape.

At least, in the book Noah bought, there was a map of the first ten floors of the underground city.

Following the map in memory, Noah looked around as she walked towards the entrance to the second floor.

“Pfft...”

Suddenly, a wall in Noah's sight burst into a crisp crack and slowly cracked open.

Noah stopped and looked at the tortoised wall.

There, a monster with the appearance of Goblin screamed silently, like a chicken hatched out of an egg shell, struggling constantly to emerge.

This is the dungeon.

Dungeons are alive.

It's something that anyone knows.

Of course, life doesn't mean that underground cities attack people themselves, that the topography of each floor changes from time to time, but that it means something else.

For example, the underground city will be repaired automatically.

If there is a damaged structure, it will not be long before the damaged structure of the underground city is restored to its original condition.

And the monster was born out of this living maze.

Just as chickens and birds are hatched, monsters are born from labyrinth walls, floors, ceilings, and everywhere.

And because of that, no matter how many monsters are defeated, the monsters in the dungeons will not be killed.

In addition, the species of monsters born on each floor is fixed.

Sometimes, however, some monsters climb up from the lower level or down from the upper level.

But basically, the monsters on each floor are fixed and rarely similar.

Now, what Noah sees is a scene where monsters are born from underground cities.

“Ga---! ”

Sounded like a strangled duck, Goblin drilled out of the wall like a flea, limbs on the ground, bouncing suddenly in Noah's direction.

In the face of Goblin, Noah just frowned and the tattoo didn't move. When Goblin jumped in front of him, his hand shook his fist, waved it, and the back of his fist immediately hit the side face of Goblin heavily.

“Boo-hoo! ”

A muffled sound struck the thin Koblin directly against the wall, his head twisted and the glow in his eyes dimmed.

“Poon--! ”

Immediately afterwards, the Goblin rapidly lost its colour all over its body and, in a dull sound, disappeared into a cloud of dust.

Then a blue crystal crushed stone fell on the ground with a sharp nail.

This is what happens to the defeated monster.

The defeated monster does not leave any corpses, it only leaves crystals called Demon Stones.

That's the core that exists inside the monster.

These monsters are said to be able to move and have life solely because of this magic stone in their bodies.

This stone contains incredible power and can be used to make all sorts of stone objects.

Naturally, there are no lights in this world.

However, using the power of the magic stone, people can make it into a lamp that works like an electric lamp.

Processing with human technology, taking advantage of various aspects, to produce magic stone products, make this seemingly very backward era in terms of "convenience" is not at all behind the modern factors, which are these magic stones.

For example, igniters that have the same function as gas stoves, freezers that store food like refrigerators, etc., are magic stone products made from magic stones.

As a result, demon stones are regarded as a valuable resource, and the export of such demon stones by Aurary to other countries has benefited enormously the guild that manages Aurary.

So, adventurers can get the magic stones they get in the underground for money in the guild, which will decide the purchase price based on the size of the magic stones.

Naturally, a monster on the 1st floor can drop a magic stone, and naturally it won't be big enough to say it's pathetically small.

And that nail, it's called a dropped prop.

In addition to falling demonic stones, exterminated monsters sometimes leave a part of their body in its original form.

It is said that it is an abnormally developed part of the monster's body. It has the power to lose the Demon Stone and still be able to exist independently. It can be used as a manufacturing material for weapons or protective equipment, which is basically worth more than Demon Stone.

If the monster is defeated, it will definitely fall off the stone, but if the size of the stone is uncertain based on the strength and weakness of the monster, then the falling prop is something that can only be encountered with good luck.

“The first monster to kill dropped a prop? Is that the effect of the skill of" Asylum from the World "?” Noah laughed bitterly.

“Just why is it getting more and more like playing games? ”

Fighting monsters, Noah is able to gain experience, unleash the possibilities in the body by Hestia's "grace", grow and upgrade.

Then, after the fight, Noah gets the item that fell off the monster.

It's a game, isn't it?

But unfortunately, this is a game that will never come back to life once it dies.

“The monster on the first floor is too weak.” Noah is secretly thinking.

“It's more efficient if I want to exercise my abilities, or go further down. ”

Speaking of which, Noah didn't even pick up the tiny magic stone and nail-shaped dropping prop and walked straight into the path that allowed her to go to level 2.

For Noah, the money that the stone and fallen prop can exchange is pitiful, so let's not pick it up.

As such, Noah followed the memorable map of the underground city, entering the second floor by going to the staircase on the second floor, then through the staircase on the second floor leading to the third floor, entering the third floor and continuing down.

If someone finds out that a novice adventurer who enters the dungeon on the first day arrives directly on the third floor, it will definitely scare a bunch of people to death.

But Noah was not satisfied, avoiding the weak monsters directly to the last level of the map of the subterranean city, as recorded in publicly traded books.

10th floor.

It's no longer a boring passageway, it's filled with moss on the walls, and the ground is covered with short grass, similar to grasslands, and a floor of phosphorescence as if the sun were shining, but full of dense white mist.

Standing at the entrance to this floor, Noah stared forward.

“Pfft... pfft...”

It is only seen that one is bigger than man, breaking earth from the ground against a pig's head and a fat, round orc.

Noah laughed when she saw this scene.

“Great! That's what it's worth to exercise! ”
