87 - Episode 4 Light, Level 3000 or so

A month has passed since I was dropped into the lowest level of the Abyss.

The monsters in "The Abyss" are usually between 1000 and 3000 levels.

Thanks to Mei's help, I have reached the level of 3000.

The only problem is that the level of ...... has been slowing down.

We converted the large space that we were sent to by the transfer trap into a sleeping area and placed furniture such as beds, tables, and chairs that came out of the "Infinite Gacha" (gift).

If we set up our beds in a small space, we would have to deal with monsters in close proximity.

As a result, while blocking the entrance and exit with May's "magic string," we are prepared to deal with monsters whenever they appear in this space.

I've gotten used to this kind of life by now, so I sit down on a chair and talk with May over a cup of tea she made me.

The monster level in the lowest level of "The Abyss" is between 1,000 and 3,000. As I feared, my level has almost reached the end of the line.

The only saving grace is that our armament, standard of living, etc., remain at a high level thanks to the blessing (gift) of Mr. Light, "Infinite Gacha.

I can't believe I'm supposed to be at the bottom of the world's biggest, strongest, and worst dungeon, "The Abyss," and yet I can live a better life than on the ground. ...... I didn't expect it either.

During the "Gathering of Tribes," I was given a very small one-person room in a base rented by the team.

The bed was small, the rest of the space was extremely small, the bedding was very thin, and the pillows were hard.

However, for people (human beings) like me who came to the city to escape from poor farmers, it is common to stay in back alleys, horse stables, or group rooms in cheap hotels on the days when we earn money.

A single room in a base, even if very small, is essentially the height of luxury.

And - although currently inside the dungeon, where you never know when a monster might attack - there is a maid, Mei, and a big bed with a fluffy futon.

Meals were also prepared by Mei or served with cards, with a wide variety of delicious foods that had never been eaten on the ground.

There are sweet, salty, and many other strange tasting snacks.

They also have a bath and numerous changes of clothing, so much so that they change their underwear every day.

Life in the "abyss" today is far more comfortable than it was on earth.

Not only the living environment, but also the armament: a human child like me can hold a fantasma-class spear. ...... It's really unthinkable on earth."

The spear I am currently using as my main weapon is called "UR, Uragan.

It is a fantasma class weapon, and its speed increases when it is in my possession because it is imbued with the wind attribute.

When the user thrusts it into an enemy and applies magical power to it, it releases the power of the wind storm, widening the wound and damaging the interior.

It has a very high killing power and is very useful.

The reason why I use a spear is that it is safer because I can keep my distance. ...... I learned various weapons from former members during the "Gathering of the Tribes" era.

The one that I was most apt at was the spear.

Next to the spear was the bow, and the least talented was the sword.

The most important thing to remember is that the best weapons are the spear, the bow, and the sword, in that order.

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you want to do and how you want to do it. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just go out and buy a new one.

The "Infinite Gacha" is amazing while my favor (gift) because such a thing comes out with a bang. ......

It's all thanks to Mr. Wright. As a follower, I am very proud of my nose."

May, as a waiter, compliments me as she brews me another cup of tea.

Incidentally, I was using only the armor I had made with May's "magic string" because it was lighter and stronger.

The "living environment, weapons, armor, and personal items are no problem,......, but what about leveling up?　I wanted to get up to level 9999 like May, but I don't think I'm going to make it ......"

There is no need to force yourself to raise your level to 9999.

I just need to go up to the ground and take revenge on the former members of the "Gathering of Tribes", to find out the truth about what "Master" is, why I was almost killed, etc., and to take on the rest of the world.

It takes a lot of power to achieve revenge and to know the truth about everything. Hence I myself wanted to be level 9999. ......

Mei cuts in with a serious tone in her voice.

'......Light-sama, I have an idea to raise your level, may I make a suggestion?'

What?　That's my girl May, of course I'll ask for it!　So what's your method?"

The "Infinite Gacha" ejected cards of people and monsters with wills like mine.

I have a bad feeling about this.

As she pointed out, I have been hitting "Infinite Gacha" as often as I can to make time for it. Thanks to her, food, daily necessities, beverages, luxury items, weapons and armor, and many other racial (human) and monster-type cards such as "Fairy Maid," "Mohawk," and "Merchant" have been ejected.

The range of cards was large, from level 10 to 5000.

The cards are stored in the item box that I learned from the "SSSR Item Box" from the "Infinite Gacha".

The spell cards from the "Infinite Gacha" are basically gone after use, but there are some cards like the "SSSR Item Box" that can be used to memorize magic for the owner.

The reason why Mei and I are still alone without summoning the human or monster type cards in the item box is because it is difficult to survive in the "Abyss" if the cards are too low level and we have to protect them.

I don't think we have enough time to spend on that, so it's better for us to be alone," she said.

I've talked with her and we're going to summon a 'SUR' card like Mei's when it becomes available.

Why did you mention other cards now?

May tells us with her usual calm expression and voice tone conscious attitude.

I thought that if I summoned those with high levels and Mr. Light played a hand with them, their levels would go up. If he or she who is summoned can become food for Mr. Light as well as myself, I will gladly take my place..."

Mei!

For the first time, I call her name with anger and sadness in my voice.

I call her name for the first time with anger and sadness in my voice, "Are you asking me to do the same thing as those ...... members of the 'Gathering of Tribes' who betrayed me and tried to kill me like a piece of trash?　I was betrayed by my friends, and now I'm being betrayed by my friends. ......

I'm sorry, I can't help it. I am sorry. I misspoke. Please forgive me for my own shallow thinking."

May bows deeply and asks for forgiveness.

I get up from my seat and walk over to her.

I let her raise her head and hug her tightly.

She is taller than me, and I end up burying my face in her chest.

I tell her, burying my face in her chest as if to hide my eyes, which have become moist from past betrayals and the sadness of her words.

I tell her, burying my eyes in my chest to hide the sadness of her words and the betrayal of the past. If even Mei is no longer under me,...... I'm sure I won't be able to bear it."

Yes, I (I) will continue to stay by Mr. Wright's side no matter what. Everything is for the sake of my beloved lord, this body, this heart, everything belongs to him. I swear by the way of my maid, I will be absolutely loyal to my lord. In the heavens, I will be a bird with wings, and on earth, I will be a branch of the chain of reasoning, and I will stay by the side of Lord Light for many years to come. Let me stay with you forever. ......"

Yeah ...... thanks Mae."

I hugged her for a while, and May lovingly stroked my back and head.

I strengthened my arms in response to her hug.

A few minutes later, I rubbed my reddened face and eyes with my cuffs to cover them.

'May's proposal--I would never do anything that would sacrifice my friends. But I also really want to raise the bar. So, as far as I'm concerned, I think it's time to defeat 'that thing.'"

The monster at the bottom of the abyss.

Yes," he said. Let's defeat the dungeon guardians of the "Abyss" to improve our level.

Thus, the decision was made to defeat the dungeon guardian monster sitting in the innermost part of the "Abyss," estimated at level 5000.
