Episode 4 – Will

Translator : MeLena

Dead then resurrected, dead then resurrected, dead then resurrected.

At first, I cried and shouted every time I died, but gradually I got used to it.

There is still a stone monument in the room. When I sigh and touch the stone monument, the characters change to the death details screen.

I have become accustomed to the operation of this stone monument. The reaction changes depending on where you touch it. For now, I’m just checking my status on this death details screen.

Henry Bosheit.

Cumulative number of deaths 00007.

Trial of the beginning 2/3 levels 1 hour 20 minutes 8 seconds.

Leg stuck in a tiger trap. As a sitting duck, got burned to death by a fire dragon.

HP 110 (+10) MP 10 Attack power 56 (+6) Defence power 75 (+9) Magic power 1 Agility 15 (+2).

Weapon: Mithril Short Sword +3.

Armor: Heavy Steel Armor -7 Bronze Helmet +1 Ring of Power.

Special skill: Maintain Status (unique).

I don’t really understand the “tiger” part of the trap. If they use such a terrible trap to catch it, it must be a very scary monster.

This round was regrettable. First of all, thanks to the strong Mithril weapon, my enemies were defeated easily.

And for some reason, bread had fallen casually in the dungeon, and by eating it, I was able to reach the second floor.

On my way I was attacked by a blue slime so the strengthening value of my armor was reduced.

Furthermore, it was hard to get away from the burning zone of the fiery breath since I was rooted in place by the trap. I don’t want to remember the smell and sound of myself burning.

However, there is a silver lining with such a difficult dungeon life.

Yes, it’s a friend. It’s an irreplaceable existence that doubles the fun and halves the spiciness. A fateful encounter was fulfilled in the grassland where I go to fetch water.

“Hey Will, look at this death.”

I talk to Will with a hearty laugh. The number of deaths has already reached seven. I’m the only person in the world who has died so much.

“And my status has improved. It’s amazing!”

My HP is five times as much as when I was in the royal palace. Various stats are nearly ten times higher. I haven’t used magic yet, so the related stats haven’t risen. It’s a shame. Will unfortunately agrees.

“It’s true that ordinary people who trained a little can have 10 attack power. I wonder what would have happened if there was about 30 average adventurers with me? It seems that even a mighty dragon can be killed if there are 1000 of them! It’s great to dream!”

Imagine slaying a dragon then being praised. Will is also by my side.

“I’m sorry I can’t bring the items home. I want to show Will my Mithril weapon.”

There are a wide variety of items in the dungeon. Weapons, armour, rings, scrolls, potions, food, and magic wands. I pick them up and try them, there are many useful items.

If I obtain multiple items in the dungeon, I feel like I am being robbed and they disappear. However, if I think “I want to use that item”, it will appear out of thin air. I named this my item box.

The storage limit is 20. Items need to be sorted out. As a matter of course, the item box cannot be used outside the dungeon.

“Will… Answer me.”

No reply came back.

“Will!!”

I just yelled. Recently, I can’t control my emotions well.

“Oh… I’m sorry Will.”

I run up to Will and gently stroke his head. As long as I consider him as a person, I yell at him for simply not replying.

In the middle of stroking, I suddenly notice something unusual.

──There is a loud thud near the entrance. It’s the sound of something heavy falling. I can also hear a beast-like moan.

“Did something fall into the entrance from the meadow… Will wait here. I’ll have a look.”

I gently open the door of the stone monument room. If it’s a dangerous monster, I have to get rid of it. From here on out, outside the dungeon, when I die, it’s all over. Danger sounds like a warning bell in my heart, and I can’t control my heartbeat.

“Wolf.”

There is a brown wolf there. Its fur is rough and loose.

Because I cannot be bitten, I try poking it with a dead branch.

“Gururu…”

“You’re not feeling well. Did you get hurt? Or are you hungry?”

When talking, the wolf stares at me with weak eyes and groans. It doesn’t understand my words, but it feels like it’s complaining, “I want you to help.”

“This is my territory. Then I wonder if I can be your lord too.”

I reach out. It’s a pity, but if you want to chew on me, I’ll have to get rid of you here.

“Oh……”

However, the wolf unexpectedly licks my hand. It may be friendly, surprisingly.

“Can I be your lord? You’re the second because Will is here.”

The wolf nods after groaning weakly. I’ve heard that some wise monsters and monsters who spend a lot of time with people can read the subtleties of human emotions with their facial expressions and manner of speech.

I don’t know which one of the two this wolf is, but it must be intelligent.

“Okay, I’ll help you as a lord! It looks like you’re hungry. I’m hunting outside, so wait here!”

I’m able to do what I should do, my body is getting stronger all over.

I bring the wolf that smells like a beast into the stone monument room. Thanks to my increased status, even a beast that weighs so much can be easily carried even though I’m a human child.

I slowly lay the wolf on the ground, turn around and go out through the door.

“Seiya!!”

I jump and cling to the wall. Ignoring the crumbling earthen wall while climbing up, I see a familiar grassland. There are monsters and bandits, their lord needs food. Let’s hunt properly.

“Oraa!!”

I throw and crush large stones that were lying around, and pick up some appropriate stone pieces as weapons. They’re sharp and feel good. I also pack round stones into my pocket for stone throwing.

“That stone-throwing orc was strong. There shouldn’t be some outside…”

I proceed through the grassland in a position near the ground. My goal is a weak beast or a monster that seems to be edible.

Let’s do our best.
