I am now on the 15th floor.
How many days have you been here? About 20 days?... I don't know.
As always, there are only insect-type monsters, but it feels like the enemy is getting stronger. I'm going to lose my mind.
Honestly, it's messed up.
I wandered for a long time without knowing where I was headed for the dim cave, and I couldn't sleep, and it was an incredible struggle to keep fighting the creepy insects with full legs.
Besides,
I'm very hungry right now. I feel a constant strong hunger.
"Uu... damn it. I'm hungry."
This has been going on for a long time, and I've used magic stones to heal the stamina I've been stockpiling from the White Labyrinth.
But it ended in unfortunate results. Stamina did recover, but hunger didn't change.
When I was moving in that state, the stamina seemed to be decreasing at an incredible speed, and I was soon exhausted again.
It could be bad. It's a little extreme.
"Nh, what?
There's something on the wall. As I approached, it was a door.
Something like a crest is drawn on the door. It looks like a magical formation, but I don't know what it means.
The door is locked.
... are you going to use this key?
Black key found in each tier.
Is this the key?
I matched the key to the key hole in the door.
No, it's not the right size. I can't even put it in a hole.
"... okay"
Bowan.
I tried to pick up the smoke by pouring it into the keyhole. I want to save the power of smoke, but I care about it first. Maybe it's an exit.
Fill the keyhole with smoke and press multiple pins to rotate the shaft.
Smudges.
A mechanical sound sounded. The lock is open.
As soon as I opened the door and entered, I realized, unfortunately, that it was not an exit.
It was a room surrounded by stones.
There was a pedestal in the middle and a chest on top of it. It has a majestic atmosphere.
It's really like a game.
You call this a dungeon? How do the people in the game fill their bellies in the dungeons?
Yeah?
Looks like the chest is locked too.
Try using the black key again. Now it matches the chest perfectly.
Razor.
All right, it's open. It looks like this key was used for a chest.
I tried to pull out the key I used, but I couldn't pull it off even if I put my strength into it. Is that how it works?
Multiple keys may be disposable. There are five keys left. I wonder if there are other chests with keys.
I'm checking inside now.
I opened the chest.
What suited me inside was like black thread balls.
There is a description written on the chest. It is written in the same language as what I saw in the white dungeon.
Um... Armor of Despair?
What an armor with that ominous name. I mean, where's the armor?
I tried to grab the fur ball. It's so heavy. It's not the weight a man can carry. What is this?
For a moment, the area around the hair ball glowed.
Shrug shrug shrug.
"Hmm, what is it!?"
The fur ball automatically loosened and wrapped around my body with great momentum.
--Here it is.
"Su, wow! Armor!
The thread wrapped around my body turned into armor. Try pushing the surface. It's not a metallic touch. It feels like gummies in the middle of cloth and rubber.
I tried turning my arms around, moving my tail, and spreading my wings, but I was able to move them without any problems. It weighs, but it's not enough to affect movement.
It fits my body perfectly. Looks like my arms and feet are part of the armor.
"Fu, fufufu. I did it! I finally got dressed."
I doubt I can call this clothing, but I'm happy anyway!
"Hyahah! We did it! Fuck off, fuck off!
Bad. I'm too hungry and tense.
I just realized that I ran out of stamina. I can't smoke anymore. Looks like that was the last force.
"... that? Oh, shit!
HP is decreasing every few seconds.

... it's not good.
If I stay like this, I'll starve to death.
Can you use a magic stone to restore HP?
But there are limits to magic stones. I don't know when I can get out of here.
When this happens, we have to make a decision.
The next enemy I encounter will be eaten by insects or whatever.
Would you die in such a creepy place?
That time came at once.
As I left the room, searching for my enemies, I walked into a domed space.
There were enemies there.
Three meters in length is a monster of a giant fly. A torso of color and texture, like bronze, creepily reflects the light of illumination. There was a hairy thorn growing all over my body.
The face has two large, hemispherical, red eyes. My mouth is pointy, and it's like this, but it's like a nipple-shaped mouth. Gross.
He stops on the rocks and rubs his forelegs together. Severe noises like a saw cut through a tree resonate in the cave, but it seems to be because of this behavior.
... eat this guy? Are you serious? Are you eating?
No, before that, can I take him down? There are fairly strong signs.
--Too much, too much.
The fly made a noise. It's like rubbing a knife and a fork together, looking down at me.
An intense mass of intent blew through me like a gust of wind.
In front of me is a monster. Her HP is shrinking, and her consciousness is cloudy because of hunger.
"Ha, ha, ha. It makes me laugh."
Why am I the only one? And I've thought about it many times in my life.
But nobody helped me. And I died doing nothing.
I don't want to feel that way anymore. I will break your destiny with my own strength.
"Temei is the wall I can get over. No, the stepping stone."
Spread your wings and float in space.
Magic - transformation into a dragon!
Boom!
Mia! (I'll eat you!
