Thanks to a Different World Reincarnation

Hidden room - even if you don't like games, few people will feel romantic about this word.

Valuable items and gold and silver treasures were often asleep in the game, and Jin, who had become familiar with numerous RPGs, had undeniably raised expectations.

…………

He was just a gin who stepped into the room with expectations in his chest, but his thoughts stood silently after looking through the room all the way behind his back.

The hidden room is only slightly smaller than the room where the giant demon stones were located earlier, and there is nothing novel about the same construction of walls, floors, etc., and naturally there are no gold or silver treasures or chests. There's just a lot of gallant space.

Just as the only difference was that one small stone pedestal was placed enough to place a cardboard box vertically in one corner of the room.

"... is that all?

Elsa crushes with a voice somewhere out of her mind. I felt like everyone ate a little shoulder blush at the sight of this room, which was just idle with a small pedestal.

"Damn you..."

That doesn't mean there's no chest, and I accidentally leaked a bitter laugh from Jin's mouth.

"Cohon.... Mr. Jin. Maybe there's a secret hidden on that pedestal, huh?

"That's right! Let's find out."

Aria, who regained her mind as soon as possible, makes the best point, and Rachel, who hears it, shines her eyes and agrees.

"You sure do.... All right, let's find out!

Gin probably had too many hurdles to expect, too, because the same game-loving reincarnator was involved. I could finally get my mind back here.

And as soon as we all start moving towards the pedestal, it turns out Aria was right.

"Ah! What is this..."

I didn't know it from afar, but when I approached it I noticed a letter carved on the pedestal. Rachel accidentally raised her voice to three letters that looked familiar somehow.

"This is similar to the letter on the hanging shaft that was in Mr. Kent's house."

Even if we don't know what the letters themselves mean, I guess it's somehow speculative that they're letters of the same lineage. As Elsa put it, the three letters carved there were undoubtedly Japanese combinations of kanji and hiragana.

To that string that stimulates nostalgia in many ways, Jin couldn't contain his face from barking.

"The killer."

The words that follow these three letters will also be considered by most Old Game fans. One of the first masterpieces of the genre, called adventure games, the end and exposure of that shock has long been a story in various places.

"Heh, yes, yes." O s. "

The second time this TV game story happens, Jin gets used to it. Looking closely, it looked like a tattoo wrapped around the pedestal, a katakana carved in fifty tones order.

As Jin smiled and pressed the two letters in order to answer, he pressed the second letter simultaneously making a noise with the bun and the entire upper part of the pedestal began to glow pale, and at the next moment a person appeared there about 30 cm long.

"" "Nah!?

Aria and the others raise too many voices of surprise, but Jin quickly realized that this was a stereoscopic video (hologram), so she didn't have to be as upset as they were. Instead, I look at the hologram in front of me with intrigue as to what it tells me.

And a few seconds later, the person shown on the pedestal opened his mouth.

"Uh, uh, testing Mike right now"

That started with such a distracting dialogue.

However, it was not the common language spoken in this world that was used here, and the Arias could not understand its meaning.

"Oh. That's my country's word."

Jin answers Aria and the others who ask with a gaze. That language, which came to this world for the first time as a dialogue rather than a word, was now Japanese, which I even feel nostalgic about.

"No, I don't think maybe anyone can find this hidden room, but I decided to leave a message in case I was there. I didn't really mean to leave anything behind... but it's a whim."

Shown in the hologram was a mid meat middle-bodied man who was thought to be in his mid-thirties when he was a year old. Although what you're wearing seems finely decorated and slightly upscale, there's not something strange about it from the gin and the others. It gave the impression of being quite a wealthy merchant.

"Well, if there's a guy watching this, it means he likes the same game as me. That makes me feel familiar, and I'm glad."

A man who had a troublesome impression so far smiled just a little at the end.

The mystery left by this reincarnator is an issue that can only be solved by those who either liked Old Games or were playing those titles in real time. Though I've been loved for a long time as a story, there are only a few generations who know these knowledge, and it's not like anyone can solve them, at least if they're reincarnates.

As this no-nothing room shows, he wasn't meant to leave anything here by nature, and it's really likely that this message was his whim.

"If I can actually see him, I have a bunch of things I'd like to talk about as a liker of the same game, but, well, I can't help but talk about what I want to dream about. Leave a message, will you tell a story of your own?... maybe he's doing something sorry for you..."

The smile that the man was floating around here disappears.

"If it's true, I guess I should introduce myself, but I'm sorry, but let me shy away. I'm not all guilty, either.... hey, haven't you lost your people by the time you get here? There must have been a misstep hazard ahead of us from the sixty-first floor, and Lasbos may have set it up too strong to be honest. I feel remorse and respect for all of you who came this far through, but I don't think you could have been unharmed."

The man's eyes began to faint gradually and he had a bitter look on his face as if he was in some pain since he had asked.

"I know I've already imagined it, but I built this labyrinth. Because I loved the game, or because of a unique skill called" Labyrinth Making (Dungeon Makeup) "that I was given when I came to this world. So if one of your guys died in this labyrinth, it's on me. I know it's not a question of apologizing, but let me still say it. Sorry."

Here the man bows his head deeply.

I was convinced that this confession was still true for Jin, except for the reason he built the labyrinth. Fortunately, although all the Jin and the others did not have to suffer major injuries, it is certain that there are not many adventurers who have lost their lives in this labyrinth.

"My 'makeover of the labyrinth' can't do everything I want, I can only build the labyrinth according to the rules. I intended to try to stay as dead as possible in that range, but I still think the guy who dies will be out there"

(You mean you had to build this labyrinth that far?

Why we had to create a labyrinth where warcraft still strikes people, while taking care not to let adventurers die as much as possible.

Jin missed a word and listened to the man's message.

"I don't know when you came here, but it seems like it's been about a hundred years since the massive outburst of Warcraft (Megastampete), also known as the 'Great Collapse', took place that I live in now. Humanity is pushed toward the edge of the continent and lives as it manages to survive the 'runoff' that occurs every few years. Those are the times."

Knowing the lost history once spoken of by the Holy Beast Perglune, Gin seemed to have the sight of that time of ordeal in his eyes.

"People live hard in these times without becoming self-inflicted self-abandonment. I guess that's because of God's visible grace. Control is in place, and we are united against the threat of the Warcraft.... but honestly, I think it's been a hundred years. There are too many lives to be lost than there are lives to be born. If the threat of the Warcraft does not subside like this, we will soon be in zilli poverty"

From the face of the holographic man, the sense of despair he was feeling was also transmitted to Jin. In the kingdom of Nasaria, where the city of Lienz is located, the story is that it happened 'rampage' decades ago, but they still suffered enormous damage at the time. If that comes at short intervals of a few years......

"I've been in this world for about ten years. But I've hardly used my unique skill of making the labyrinth. Even though we could work out there if we had a labyrinth, it was also realized that there were rules for making a labyrinth, and that no one could die. There's no way I could have built a facility that could have killed someone!

He seemed to throw up at the end, but still he built the labyrinth. Why? A question arises behind Gin's brain.

"Still, under what could be called this end of the line, I could not have chosen the option of doing nothing. Perhaps a reincarnator had come to this world before me. A system called Adventurer or Alliance seems to have existed since before the Great Collapse. I decided not to live as a labyrinth lord (dungeon master) but as an adventurer who would serve as a breakwater for warcraft. So I didn't intend to use this skill for the rest of my life.... I lived five years in this world as an adventurer, working with the people around me to fight the Warcraft, being on edge and having daughters and children.... and I lost it."

The man who has said it so far is closing his eyes with a nagging addition and subtraction as if he could bite something off.

Having lived in this world as an adventurer and as a husband and father, he must have lost everything and been noticed in several "runaways". Living as an adventurer needs to be a fundamental solution.

"There's nothing I can do as an adventurer. Painful of that, I finally turned my attention to 'Labyrinth Making'. If I could have created a labyrinth that was as safe as possible, I could have reduced the number of young people dying before they got stronger, and maybe the stronger and the stronger. That's enough to get rid of Runaway. That's what I thought. I bet this skill on human survival. … with the understanding that those who die in the labyrinth are likely to come out."

In the eyes of the man with his face up is the light of unshakeable determination.

"For the first time I activated 'Labyrinth Making' properly and repeated the experiment in a cage in this room. But the amount of constraints on this skill so much that it was actually used burned my hands and I had to give up early to make it look like the training facility I had initially imagined. But still, I meant to help the adventurer level up as safely as possible."

(I see, that's what happened)

Zinn was convinced by the reason he created the labyrinth: for the bottom-up of the strength of mankind, while at the same time learning the answer to the question he had felt about this labyrinth for a long time.

Whenever the storey progressed, the Warcraft gradually gained strength, there was only one basic type of warcraft appearing on the same floor, and every ten tiers was equipped with a transfer device, all in order to keep adventurers exploring the labyrinth from dying as much as possible. And with the power gained in the labyrinth, I guess he hoped that he would overcome the threat of 'runoff'.

"But in fact, more than I thought, this skill of 'Labyrinth Creation' was a skill worthy of the present situation. As we created the Labyrinth, we discovered that activating Labyrinth Creation would require the right amount of magic."

The man laughed, but it was not pure joy, but perhaps containing bitterness.

"If you think about it, it's a natural story, but there's no way you can produce a yes from nothing at all. Magnetic vegetation is needed to create and maintain the labyrinth, and that is the bigger the labyrinth, and the greater the number or quality of Warcraft. I mean, with a labyrinth of some magnitude, we might be able to contain an abnormal increase in magic vegetables, which is a major cause of 'runoff'."

The first thing that made me clear here was that the cause of the 'runoff' was not the 'labyrinth', but the abnormal increase in magic vegetables.

Rather, "Labyrinth" has the effect of bringing the abnormally increasing concentrations of peripheral magic vegetables closer to normal values by consuming them internally and preventing the abnormal occurrence of warcraft causing "runoff".

(This is a theory don't flip)

Of course, that doesn't prevent a hundred percent 'runoff' from happening. The presumption that the 'labyrinth', which is now mainstream, creates' runoff 'may be a misconception born when' labyrinth 'was thus unable to prevent the outbreak of' runoff '.

The effectiveness of the 'labyrinth' created by a man is immeasurable if, in any case, it may be possible to curb the outbreak of 'runoff' even more, even though simply training people is highly effective. It's definitely a big discovery.

(But...)

The problem is that I got this knowledge after the guy lost everything. Considering the man's mood, Jin's heart sank too.

"... it was complicated when I realized this. If I'd been ready sooner, maybe they wouldn't have died..."

Perhaps the man has blamed himself many times before so as to wear a scab. There was an emotion of indelible remorse overflowing there.

When a man comes down his neck as if to shake off his thoughts, he continues the story he was interrupting.

"Of course it won't be absolute, because the magic vegetables that couldn't be consumed in the 'labyrinth' can cause 'runoff'. But the speculation that I might be able to suppress' runoff 'in the' labyrinth 'I make has helped me to live."

As the dialogue goes, the power dwells again in the eyes of the man who was sinking.

"I repeated the experiment further and, subject to some constraints, succeeded in transferring the labyrinth itself. Technically, it's not like metastases, but, well, that would be good. The important thing is that this has made it possible to transfer the labyrinth to a place where the magic vegetables are abnormally increasing. The presence of a labyrinth suppresses an abnormal increase in magic vegetables and automatically moves them to the next location if they are closer to normal. Now if I build a labyrinth, I might be able to contain the outbreak of 'runoff' just by building it, or one day I might be able to calm down too many more magic vegetables in this world.... it was hope"

(I see. It was also thanks to this labyrinth that 'Magic Fever' healed. "

The cause of 'magic fever', which previously struck Lienz's children, was a magic anomaly caused by an abnormally increased number of magic vegetables. Although the activity of Jin and the others allowed for the establishment of coping therapies, there were new developers of the disease, and it did not reach a fundamental solution. However, as a phenomenon, the outbreak of 'magic fever' had stopped perfectly with the emergence of the 'labyrinth', but this would mean that the reason was now clear.

Jin felt like he had fallen to Ston's heart, but at the same time he felt something catching him.

"... it's been longer than I thought. Well, I don't know how many more years I can live, but I'm gonna keep building 'labyrinths' as long as I'm raw. Neck takes years to build one labyrinth, but as much as possible."

With this labyrinth as one of the first, I guess the man continued to build the labyrinth after this, as the saying goes. And his hopes have become a reality for more than a thousand years, and now the outbreak of 'runoff' is kept much lower than before.

The unspeakable respect and emotion boiled in Jin's heart, and when he noticed it, he was naturally bowing his head deeply toward the holographic man.

"By the way, after you've broken the dungeon core already? If not already, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't break it if you could. Just having this guy should be a lot less magic enlargement, so you guys should have some benefits too. There was a labyrinth, which meant that there were so many magic vegetables nearby that it could cause a 'rampage'."

(Ah!?

The fact that I had not yet put my hand on the Extremely Great Demon Stone was once a gin stroking down my chest, but I was immediately clear about what had caught on earlier. "Labyrinth" doesn't prevent a hundred percent "runoff". Although "Magic Fever" has healed, the possibilities have not yet disappeared for "Runaway".

Jin rushes to 'map' to see if there are any large herds of warcraft nearby, but so far he has not been able to find them. Stroke your chest down again.

"... if you've already broken it, you're going to be wary of the 'runoff', right? I don't know how many years you guys have been attacking this labyrinth, but the shorter that period, the higher the risk of a 'runoff'."

It hasn't been a year since this labyrinth appeared, but the man didn't seem to expect to be attacked in such a short period of time either.

In fact, the labyrinth can remain in the same place for decades, and in less than the past year it is unlikely that it consumes all of the abnormally increased magic vegetables.

(You mean you still can't feel safe)

The theory that warcraft would flood out of the labyrinth was overshadowed, but it was right as a means of preventing 'runoff' as a result, as defeating warcraft in the labyrinth would increase the consumption of magic vegetables for that matter to produce new warcraft. What the adventurers have done so far, including Jin and the others, is not in vain.

Once again, Jin carved into his heart that he should not destroy the Extremely Great Demonic Stone, and was determined to continue to defeat the Warcraft in the Labyrinth to speed up his consumption of magic vegetables.

"But nobody's going to see it, and you stuck around."

Scratching his head galloping, the holographic man solitary. In the bondage of a limited generation of reincarnators and game lovers from the second half of Showa to about twenty to thirty years, it was certainly unlikely that this message would come into contact with people.

It just so happens that Jin fits that.

"... okay. I guess what we've talked about so far is like my penance, if you say so.... In this' labyrinth 'I built, many adventurers will die in the future, and I will continue to build substitutes that are such a danger. There are a lot of things I can't do because of the constraints, but I'll try to make sure the adventurer has the slightest benefit."

Perhaps all the labyrinths referred to as' labyrinth shapes' around the world were created by him, and the result of that effort may have been a labyrinth of various variations, such as the presence or absence of traps and crates.

But the most basic and effective thing to do is to post the purpose and precautions of the labyrinth at the entrance. Had that been possible, adventurers would have been cautious and had they known of a possible 'runoff' occurrence, they would have been prepared. However, it can also be deduced that it was not feasible at last, given that the mistake that the 'labyrinth' was the cause of the 'rampage' now passes.

The man did not speak in detail, but maybe leaving a message in Japanese this way was a must in order to escape those constraints.

"Now it's time to end it. Well, I don't think anyone actually sees this message, but it's advice from a senior to a junior."

The man continues with a light cough.

"I don't know what I can do to you when I come to this world, but you don't have to use it like I do to judge me, do you? At least you get to know that ability well before you decide if you want to use it. That way you won't regret it like I did.... And don't think about me dragging you around and living for this world, huh? I wish I could live to the fullest, just so I don't regret it. And... no, I'm sorry. I might have killed one of your people, so I'm talking about what a man like that sounds great..."

The more life experience I have, the more things I want to advise you not to tread the same way as you do. It might still have gone on if it had been, but recalling the possibility that Jin's people might be dying in the 'labyrinth', the man bowed his head badly and scratched his head galloping again.

"Just one last thing. If I may, the times you live in will not be a peaceful world at all..."

And finally this dialogue. The man's message ends, and the luminescence of the pedestal disappears with the hologram. In the end, the man never told his own name until the end.

(Thank you!

Jin deeply greets the stone pedestal where the hologram disappears.

It is because he created the 'Labyrinth' that there is a relatively peaceful time today. It will be difficult to unconditionally affirm him, who created a presence that combines light and shadow called the 'Labyrinth'. If Jin had lost his companions and friends in the 'labyrinth', he would certainly have felt more complicated now.

But his readiness to do things with notoriety was worthy of respect as the same person.

"Mr. Jin......"

Aria speaks to such a gin. Since the advent of the hologram, all they could do was watch Jin.

"It's gonna be a little long story, but I want everyone to hear it too"

In the hidden room of the labyrinth, Jin told Aria and the others the truth about this labyrinth when she quickly removed the chair and drink for four from "Infinite Storage" and was ready.
