Chapter Title: The Magic Circle of Recovery

「Well, what should I do now?」

I think about it as I look down at the transition magic circle.

The fact that the teleportation magic circle doesn’t work means that I can’t go back to my country. In other words, I can’t report that the evil god has been destroyed, and I can’t reunite with Alicia and get her angry with me.

「Is there no choice but to get out of here for the time being?」

On the side of the altar where the evil god was, there was a treasure. But on the opposite side, in the distance, you can see a door.

If there’s a door that means it’s connected somewhere.

「There’s no point in staying here, so let’s go.」

After all, I’ve come here as a sacrifice to the evil god. I don’t even have any food. I’ll starve to death if I don’t go now.

I opened the door with my divine sword Borumunk in hand.

「It’s a long passage, but I don’t see anyone」

I was expecting to find some kind of scary monster, but there was no sign of any living thing in there.

「I couldn’t find any food.」

Was it because they were skeletons that they didn’t need to eat?

But if he wanted a sacrifice, then he was going to eat it, wasn’t he?

I feel like I’m going to spill my flesh off the bones if I eat it, there was no point in thinking any more about the ecology of the evil god.

「Okay, the next room is…」

I’ve colected various treasures on the way here. I found a lot of powerful swords and spears, as if the evil god was a collector of magic tools.

I can see which items are useful by looking at their descriptions in the 【Inventory】 section.

「I’m hoping to find some bread soon…」

The only thing I want now is food. If I don’t bring it back safely, then it’s meaningless to sell these items. I went into the room with high hopes and….

「What is it? A magic circle?」

It was a room with a glowing white magic circle.

I felt something warm along with a gentle light.

(translation left)

「It doesn’t seem to be a teleportation magic circle but… There’s a pleasant aura about it.」

I get on the magic circle as if I was being sucked in.

「What the hell! I’m not tired anymore! And it feels so good.」

The glow of the magic circle increased as I stayed in it. And it completely refreshed me from the fatigue of walking around and the mental exhaustion. In addition, the injuries I had when I confronted the evil god were also healed before I knew it.

「Could this be a magic circle from the legendary dungeon?」

This must be the same magic circle a novel protagonist stumbles upon in a legendary dungeon after defeating the last boss.

It has the effect of completely recovering your strength and magic, and in the story I was thinking about, the hero’s party used it to completely recover before taking on the bosses.

It’s no wonder that the evil god was in such a place. Anyway my good mood came back, and more importantly, the sticky sweat disappeared and I felt refreshed.

「I think I can still do my best.」

There’s nothing particularly remarkable about this place. I’m leaving the room, trying to go to the next one….

「Wait, what?」

I ponder for a moment and stare at the magic circle. And…

「What would happen if I did this?」

I stand on the magic circle again. And at the moment when the magic cricle shines…

「【Inventory】」

I tried to take it in my inventory.

「Oh! I knew you were able to take it.」

A magical light that recovers physical strength, magical power, and heals even injuries in an instant. If I have this I’m going to be fine even if I get injured in the future.

「Let’s just save as much as we can for now……」

If I get tired, I can just let it recover. Apparently, this magic circle will also relieve my hunger.

As long as I have this, I won’t starve to death. I decided to stock up on recovery magic here for a while.

「Well, that’s it for now… I think I’ve been at it for about three days.」

I kept watching as the stock numbers increased along the way.

The magic circle is triggered if you stay on it for a long time, so I kept accumulating a lot, even when I was sleeping.

I look at the [Inventory] section of the status screen. And then I see――

・Perfect Heal x99999 (TL: wtf)

「Maybe I’ve stocked up a little too much?」

I was stocked up with more perfect heals than I could ever use in a lifetime.
