No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

"-" Flame Lance "!

My unleashed flaming spear defeats a giant Amenbo-shaped demon that is likely to be two meters tall.

"Phew..."

It's been about half a day since I met Goblin.

After that I found a staircase to the bottom, and stepped into the next hierarchy of the "Tower that looks up to heaven and earth".

As the rest progresses, we actively gain experience in battle, sorting the demons to be hunted with demonic eyes and the demons to be avoided.

Thanks to the Devil's Eye, Flame Lance was able to release without much bitterness.

"It's called haxla, I guess."

I've heard those words when I was involved with MMORPG in my job as a professional gamer.

Until I was in high school, I had nothing to do with games. I didn't really pin them, but they say there is a genre of such games.

Defeat the monster and explore the dungeon. Player characters get stronger by defeating monsters. Characters can also be enhanced by equipping them with drops from monsters and items discovered in exploration.

However,

"I think it's fun because it's a game."

Why do entertainment pieces keep fighting, not just games?

If you're actually going to fight for your life, there's hardly any fun element there.

Even now, I avoid fighting strong enemies and carefully choose weak opponents to fight.

The battle is one-sided, and no drama exists there.

Release "Flame Lance" and slaughter the demon with as much blow as you can.

That's all I'm doing.

"Though demons, I don't like useless life..."

In the first place, what is the demon of this world?

If you're a literal monster with only harm, maybe you don't have to hesitate to defeat him, but what if he's just so fierce he's no different than a wild animal?

"Yeah...... as far as mindset goes, it sounds like something very evil"

Wildlife doesn't attack people without meaning.

You attack people because the animals themselves feel dangerous, and you don't have the instinct to attack people by birth.

but demons in this world are different.

When you find me, it strikes you as normal.

They also seem to enjoy attacking and killing themselves.

In that regard, I am able to defeat my conscience without much remembering...

"Too much information about this world"

If it's the demons that attack you, it's still fine.

What if it was a person who attacked you?

Am I able to fight the man who strikes me to kill me, and to kill it?

"That Passenger...... Hideyoshi Pestle"

I run scared just remembering that name.

That passageway, according to later reports, was a true pleasure killer. On the outside, he was pretending to be a competent elite surgeon, while on the back, he used his position to perform a ritual of satanic worship.

Even in front of such a worst person, I can't say enough that I don't learn to hesitate to kill them just because the other person is human.

"That's a problem too..."

There is something a little more pressing.

"What is this... sleepy?

I was drowsy.

I think it started when I defeated a few demons.

Thin blurry drowsiness clung to my consciousness.

So far, I have not been found a safe zone in this dungeon.

I cannot sleep in the wandering places of the demons, so I have no choice but to remain conscious and continue my search.

At first, I feared that drowsiness would negatively affect my concentration.

but the worry is over.

Strangely, this "drowsiness" does not inhibit my concentration.

He also competed in overseas tournaments in fighting games, but in the beginning he was plagued by jetlags - the so-called "jet lag". Loss of judgment is a serious problem in fighting games where instantaneous judgment is required.

I know because I know what it felt like back then. Now I feel drowsy, but I see my concentration hasn't waned. At least, it hasn't gone down as far as I can feel.

"It's possible you're over-awakened because you're in a dangerous place..."

At the World Games, I had a good grasp of my state of consciousness.

I don't think I'm so excited right now that I don't know my own state.

Besides, if so, wouldn't you feel drowsy?

First, we need to secure a safe zone.

Unlike games, I am a living person.

You can't keep hacking without a break.

Besides, I've been using Flame Lance for a while now, but game-wise, it should consume something magical to use magic. It would be hard if the magic suddenly stopped in front of the enemy.

"Yeah... check with the Devil's Eye"

I will generate choices with demonic eyes and explore paths to the nearest safety zone.

A few hours later I arrived safely in the safe zone.

By choice, some candidates had been found for the safety zone, but there was a feeling in this safety zone that it had a stronger potential than others. I didn't know exactly what that was like, though.

Push open the thick door and enter the "safety zone".

Seeing the sight of the indoor, I unwittingly frowned.

"What is this...?

The safety zone was about 20 tatami rooms.

I woke up first, very similar to the magician's workshop.

but the decisive difference is that

"He's being vandalized."

The books are dragged out of the bookcase and stacked on the floor, and the drawers on the cabinet remain dragged through randomly.

I observe the bookcase.

"There's a place where the dust is left and there's no place left."

From that trail, it will not be long enough for the dust to accumulate since the book was pulled out of the bookcase.

"Someone recently vandalized this room,"

What if that's dangerous people like bandits and ruins vandalism?

I will examine the footprints left on the floor.

"Four, five, maybe."

I'm not sure, but a few footprints remain on the floor on top of the dust.

"What do I do...... can I rest here?

There is no chance that the people who vandalized this room will ever come back.

"But this should have been the best place in the Devil's Eye"

The more choices you can see with the demonic eye, the brighter the possible.

but I'm not sure what that possibility is judged to be "good" by that criterion. It is easy to understand if crouching is effective in engaging enemy attacks. but if discovering a scar on a wall later helped to anticipate the demon's behavior, I don't know what would be "good" about that option at the first stage.

The choice was bright not in the sense that this was the most suitable shelter, but perhaps important in another sense.

I generate choices about exploring this room.

Among them, there was a bright choice.

Option 14: Observe the walls carefully. I can't feel the anomaly with my eyes, but when I casually reached for the wall, my arm thrust through the wall

"Is this wall?

Touch the wall.

My arm pushed through the wall.

You'd be surprised if you hadn't seen it beforehand with your options, but I'm less impressed because I'm canning first.

Still check the walls with caution just in case.

Reaching for the wall, arms fall out along with clay-like resistance. When I looked up, down, left, and right, the door was hidden long enough for one to pass through.

I think of it, take a step back, and throw the pebble that was rolling on the floor against the wall.

When the pebble hits the wall, it makes a hard noise and rolls onto the floor.

"Only humans can go through? But if the people who vandalized this place find us..."

Or it doesn't necessarily mean those people aren't lurking ahead.

And it came to pass, that I draw my body in advance.

but nothing happens when it comes to this.

Confirm once again with the Devil's Eye.

Through this wall or not.

Option 1: Decide not to go through the wall. Rest in your room, wait for your health to recover and grow sleep before you start over

Option 2: Decide not to go through the wall. not rest in the room, press fatigue to proceed with the dungeon

Option 3: Decide to go through the wall. At the end of the hidden passage there is a room, where you will discover the remains of the Devil's Sword (Wearing Storm) and Pantalon, the devil's mentor of the apostasy

Option 1 is slightly darker and 2 is even darker. 3 is bright.

"I have a lot of stuck around..."

I hold my head.

Let's sort it out from where we know.

First, brightness. It is 3 > 1 > 2, and 3 is about three times brighter than 1. Conversely, the darkness of 2 falls into a rather dangerous category from previous experience.

"Is it dangerous to proceed without rest,? That's right."

So far so much fatigue has accumulated.

Physically, mentally.

It's hard to feel because you're nervous, but you'll be more tired than you think.

"Conversely, resting here doesn't seem to pose that much danger"

The door that came in is sturdy and locked from the inside.

There will be no risk of demons or dangerous people attacking you while you are resting.

Until now, if you think about it in common sense, you can figure it out.

"The problem is the rest of it."

The part I don't know is divided into two places, large and small.

The smaller one is the word "growth sleep" in option 1.

"'Physical recovery and growth sleep'? Being paralleled means something similar to recovering health. I guess that means it's as important as restoring health."

growth sleep = growth + sleep, considering that

"... could it be, level up? Because it's not a game."

I cling to it myself, but I can't think of any other possibilities.

"In the meantime, you mean you can tell if you sleep, right? 'Cause it's not really a bad thing, and you can't just not get any sleep either way."

Growth sleep is not unlikely to be different from sleep.

but the choice is my possible behavior, so if I rest normally, I will have naturally gone to growth sleep and doing it.

"Growth sleep is fine...... is it the Devil's Sword that stays? Yeah... I don't know if it's okay."

The remains of the Magic Master Pantalon, I can imagine.

Perhaps you mean the magician who used this place as a root castle. Thanks to him completing the magic of Summoning Heroes, I am now in this world.

"If you have any remains, I'd like to make you a grave or something. But it's hard in a dungeon surrounded by stone."

There's a room in the back of the hidden aisle, which means it's relatively safe there in case the people who vandalized this room come back. You can deny the possibility that there are people behind this hidden passage because of the brightness of option 3.

"The reason Option 3 is bright is because there is a demon sword... I wonder if that's okay"

Demon Sword.

I can do a lot of things if it's just an interpretation.

Speaking of games, they range considerably from an orthodox interpretation of a strong sword with magical powers, to an interpretation that it is a demonic sword, or some kind of cursed and dangerous sword.

"That's fine if you look at the Devil's Sword and check with the Devil's Eye."

All you have to do is divine with the devil's eye whether you should take the devil's sword or not.

"... All right, come in"

And I turned my belly, and rode myself up against a wall that penetrated.

A soggy sensation strikes my whole body.

Keep your body moving forward as you go through the mud.

One, two steps. In the third step, I pushed through the mud.

"Ahhh!

Suddenly the resistance ceases, and I am about to fall to the fore.

"Wow, take..."

Proceed through the hidden passage with the procedure of convulsion.

The aisle was only about two meters long and we quickly reached the door.

I can't stop the momentum I've gained and I stick it in the door so I can hit it.

The door came off.

The door falls towards the back and hits the ground with great noise and dust.

"Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

I pray thee, it shall depend upon that which is by my side.

Cough up one and then open your eyes.

In front of me, there was a mummy face.

"Ki, yaaaa!

Unexpectedly scream, buttocks.

"Ho ho... Ho, dust..."

I sucked in the dust because of the screaming.

After the dust has subsided, I will finally rise.

It was more like an euthanasia than I had just taken.

A decaying wreck lies in its comfort chair.

"Magic Instructor...... Pantalon"

That's what happens according to my earlier choice.

From the decaying wreckage, there is no easy way to judge whether the pantaloons died in agony or in peace.

Across the street from Pantalon's sleeping comfort chair, there was a large desk.

On the desk lies a blue and silver, sword of pretense.

The sword seems to be for poking, with pointy tips and no blades. Is the body about 60 cm? Slightly shorter compared to the Japanese knife seen in the museum.

Next to the sword, a dust-covered metal sheath is also placed.

"This is the... Devil's Sword (Wearing Storm)?

I don't know if it's good for my hand either.

Generate choices.

I reach for my sword after making sure that nothing bad happens to my hand either.

"Light"

The sword was as light as a feather. It's more like an orchestral baton than a sword.

"Beautiful."

The blade has blue and silver blade prints, which draw ripples and shape loose spirals.

It's more convincing to be told it's a work of art than a weapon.

The pattern has a fencing Fleure-like hand guard. It has the same streamlined design as the blade.

"We should take this devil's sword with us to find out from our options."

Next to the Devil's Sword, something dusty is placed.

When carefully dusted out, it was one book.

"Yeah, it's a diary."

Try turning the leather back cover.

What is written on decaying paper was a letter which I could not read.

"Is it the letter of this world? Maybe Sunshiro can decipher it?

For once, let's take this too.

"And then... it's like I need to rest in this room..."

Look around.

Even if you put up with the dusty, the euthanasia chair has a mummified corpse asleep.

Are you lucky you don't see maggots and maggots? Being uncorrupted and mummified may mean that this room is a little sterilized.

I give up badly to generate choices and see if I have another means.

but the option of resting in this room was bright out of the group.

"Ha... Is there any other way"

I gently clear the corners of the room and manage to secure a dust-free space.

All you have to do is snooze and sleep.

Sleepiness struck me unexpectedly as I stood still looking at the remains of the pantaloons.

Nor could I resist, and I fell into a deep sleep.
