Chapter 37
Tokyo
The town that suffered the most numerous amount of casualties throughout Japan, currently had a ghostly presence lingering around.
I was standing right where that mysterious darkish blue land had appeared.
When I said I was going to go to Tokyo, Sakamoto asked me if the Self-Defense Force could lend me a hand in any way, but I kindly refused him.
"We'll just hold you down won't we."
Are the words he told me. However he also understood that preventing unnecessary casualties took top priority, so he agreed to me going alone.
Just as Sakamoto had told me, in front of me there was an enormous hole. Just as if it was inviting a numerous amount of people to go inside. After using Detection to scout the inside of the jet black hole, I was able to confirm that it stretched downwards forming a maze like structure.
"To be honest calling it a Dungeon might really be a pretty accurate representation for this thing..."
I reached my hand towards my space region and took out a Class Slate. The Class Slate that I took out was the Explorer. If Dungeons exist then it would only be natural that an Explorer class would exist as well.
I tapped on the Class Slate and checked my [Class Skills].
Explorer Lv1
[Class Skills]
Sorcery Rank SSS Title Magician King
Healing Rank SS
Magic Combination Rank B
Mapping Rank F
'So the Explorer's [Class Skill] is Mapping huh... I guess it will come in handy in conquering the Dungeon. I could use Detection to get a rough idea of the layout and the position of living things, but more intricate things were impossible...'
I proceeded to enter the enormous hole. The darkness inside slowly covered my whole body.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
"What's this... Did someone enter my domain?"
The mysterious shadow hiding in the darkness showed a spark of interest, however that spark was short lived. After all no matter how many insects came into its domain, in the end none had managed to reach it... That was the undisputed truth.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
The Dungeon's 5th Floor
"Phew I finally managed to get to the 5th floor. I couldn't even imagine that there would be so many Undead here..."
I let out a sigh while looking at the 3D Map that was hovering on top of my right hand. I had originally heard that there would probably be a lot of monsters, but no matter how much of them I killed they would just continue popping out of the walls one after another.
'So I guess the Undeads that attacked the surface all came from here huh... There's no doubt that their leader should be somewhere around here.
But still.. this 3D Map is really useful.'
With it I knew the intricate paths and the monsters positions like the back of my hand. Even though I was still on the 5th floor I already had everything up until the 8th mapped out. And
"I maxed out the Explorer... This is a really good leveling spot..."
Saying that, I checked out how my [Class Skill] had changed.
Explorer Lv99
[Class Skills]
Mapping Rank F → Rank C
Magic Acquired : Appraisal (I) x 2 Cold and Heat Resistance (I) x 1
Mapping had gone up to C. I think that would probably be enough for conquering this Dungeon.
"Well then the next Class will be..."
I immediately knew what Class I would become next. After taking out a Class Slate I immediately tapped on it. Finally the Class that I had always wanted to try out!
Sage Lv1
HP 1416/1416
MP ∞/∞
Strength 554
Defense 378
Magic Defense 780
Agility 420
Dexterity 711
Wisdom 1568
Luck 563
[Class Skills]
Sorcery Rank SSS Title Magician King
Healing Rank SS
Magic Combination Rank B
Mapping Rank C
Magic Library Rank F
The SR Sage! SR classes usually take a long time to level up so I had postponed using them, however, this Dungeon is overflowing with EXP, and at the end there would likely be a Boss Monster as well.
'So the Sage's [Class Skill] is Magic Library huh... I wonder what it does. Oh well I'll probably figure it out after raising it's rank a bit more.'
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Since way back I have always been here... With the span of the countless years, my memory slowly started to fade away, but it wasn't something I worried about. I only had to give my magic power to this land and produce Undeads over and over again.
I didn't know why, but I felt that that had been my mission. And I never doubted it.
Today, as any other day I was just lying in the darkness fulfilling my task... however, suddenly countless flames started appearing and setting fire to the walls and ground of this place, ridding it of it's darkness.
"What the...!?"
When I looked up, next to the entrance of my domain I saw a single man standing there.
"I'm sorry, it was really dark so I though I would lighten up the place a bit."
