Become A Human In Another World
ACT 2: Chapter 37 - A Little Truth In A Dungeon
"Mr Nier. Please come here." I heard my name called.
("It's time, is it?") I'm willing to respond to that. Immediately, I flicked my robe to follow him.
Honestly, I'm a little nervous about this. But it feels good.
"Yo, Diena, Soraya. Have you guys prepared it?" I asked when I arrived. It looks like the room that once contained a table and some other furniture, is now clean of goods.
I also kind of asked, where is that S rank Dungeon located?
"Yes, Mr. Nier. We've prepared everything." Diena stopped for a moment.
"Especially this paper." Diena replied calmly she picked up a paper she had hidden behind her. Looks like he's been preparing it since he called me earlier.
Hmm, this letter looks like a covenant letter. And a little weird.
"Listen to me, Mr. Nier, I want you to sign this file." Soraya came quickly, handing over a paper along with an ink pen. Maybe ask for an autograph.
"Maybe, but for what?" I signed it and handed it back quickly.
"In the letter it is written that we did not force you to enter into this Dungeon. So we're not responsible for what's going to happen in the future." Answer while looking down.
It seemed like they would say that they, or perhaps the Guild side would not be held responsible if something bad happened within the Dungeon, as they had already forbidden me from entering, and I still want to go in because of my own wishes.
Hmm, in other words, they wanted to say that they did not violate a certain agreement.
There was likely a written agreement that said not to force adventurers to enter the Dungeon without permission. Otherwise, such a formality would not be necessary.
"Let me remind you again, once you break through the door, you won't be able to come back after 15 minutes, which means you have to hang in there for at least that long." Diena says.
Heh? At least I should try as hard as 15 minutes?!
"You said "remind him again"?!! I've never even been told about this!! But, all right." I protest a little.
"Do you still want to continue?" Ask Soraya.
"Yes. Why not?" I asked half-jokingly with a silent answer.
Oi oi! Don't look like you're gonna let me go to die! Stopit! Don't look at me with that pitiful look!!
"Then open the gate." I could only say confidently turning my face away from Soraya.
They were all silent for a moment, then pulled out the two large wooden planks that covered the floor. It covered a beautiful stone gate. As expected of an S rank Dungeon!
"Great!" I can't describe it with words anymore.
"Honestly, I'm so sad." Soraya showed a worried and sad face towards me.
"Soraya," I was moved to see that.
"I'm lucky to have a talented adventurer, but he's going to die young." Further.
"Dam! Do you think I'm gonna die here?" I can only shout no thanks to Soraya's words. Only, he looked sinless putting on a pose of shame.
"You're right, brother. Why are strong people usually stupid and stupid?" Connect Diena.
Both of them!!!
"I think I'd rather be there than hear your babble." I vexedly walked towards the Dungeon's door.
("Huff! I think this is the one that can lead me to the truth about this world.") I closed my eyes.
I jumped down, felt the wind running down my neck, that's what I was thinking
BRUKK!
I fell because of the different gravitational forces here.
"Damn you Diena!! You didn't say gravity was any different!" I screamed out my hand.
"Ah, yes! I'm sorry I forgot to un-" her speech was interrupted. I could see the portal-like rotating gate disappear.
In other words, I who was already inside the Dungeon, was now cut off from the outside world
***
"Quite quiet, huh? I thought there would be "parade monsters" surrounding me." I kept both of my knives in my reach.
I walked as usual, but remained vigilant. After all, this was an S rank Dungeon.
By the way, monster parades were a common occurrence within Dungeons, especially Dungeons with insect-type monsters.
This was an event where monsters appeared very much, and gathered like a parade.
Usually this is a death sentence for Adventurers.
Whoa!!!!
I heard a buzzing sound from behind this wall. Uhh, I feel a little bad.
I immediately ran, approaching the origin of the sound. But strangely, I did not feel me approaching the origin of the sound.
I kept running, as the sound became louder. The hallway was getting wider, and also the humming sound was getting louder. From his voice, it seemed like it was a giant bee with a number that was not just one or two.
I'm a little excited, because I don't know what's in front of me!
"Yosh here" my screams stopped seeing the scene in front of me.
Yep. This is something that can even keep me from saying the word.
"Lu-exceptional!" I almost felt that I wanted to kneel with all of this. That, what was in front of me was truly extraordinary.
In front of me, there was a giant cave with an oval shape, with the shortest finger measuring 10 meters, and the longest finger might be up to 50 meters. What amazed me was his height.
It can be up to 100 meters tall if you look at it, and it all contains a beehive!
Of course, this is a giant beehive that contains giant bees as well, but where there is a beehive, there must be honey there!
"In addition, there's honey in there! I still don't know if it's edible, but what's called honey should be edible." I nodded happily.
Hmm, if there's honey, of course there's nectar here. And the origin of nectar is flowers. And the flower must match the size of the bee.
And if there was such a big flower, there might be some other things that might be even more terrifying than that.
Hmm, I feel like I'm moving to another world, again. It's like a world that everything should be small, be big! I don't know how to the contrary.
Wait, have I heard a story like this somewhere?
"But baby. If I use magic here, it's likely that the beehive will be destroyed."
"And even I, would not be able to defeat them alone without magic!" I'm in a grave dilemma now.
?!
I felt a faint existence behind me.
Bees!
Not wanting to wait for a long time, I instantly killed him quickly, relying on his high Agility.
...You killed "Hell bee"....
"Well, that was almost. It would be really dangerous if I had to fight them." I reclined my knife while looking towards the beehive.
"Especially the honey!" I can't let it break!
But, there is no other choice. Maybe I should step back to rearrange the plan. Like killing them all with poison, so that all the bees die and the honey remains in good condition.
It's a pretty strange thing. All this time I killed some monsters, even dragons. But until now there has been no such notice.
("In addition, "Hell bee" huh? What a strange name. Can I receive further information?") I tried pressing the "Hell Bee" section and as I expected, I was able to get information from there.
..."Hell bee, a monster that was not much different from ordinary bees. Collect honey, breed, and live as usual, just as I want to live with you. They lived within every single Guard Dungeon...
...#(#;-//??!@;-*+#()@--@!!?!$($!"??!!...
...I'm sorry, darling. This information is not accessible."...
"Oi oi! Whatisthis? System, are you alive? I'm curious." I couldn't say anything more, because the description was full of strange words.
"And don't call me darling, please!" I can't help my anxiety about this system.
But I got one extra thing, that this system is actually alive.
No, how can I say it as a living? Characteristics of living things, the first is breathing. I can't even tell if he has a form or not.
Maybe I'll think of him as a smart AI? Maybe not.
"But, there is information that cannot even be accessed and reported even by this world system." I growled a little.
Obviously this is a strange thing.
"Surely this is an act of "something" called "God", isn't it?" I just nodded in silence. Looks like I got some extra info.
They were hiding something from the creatures of this world. And it seems, systems are a different thing to them. And besides, I still don't understand why anyone would want a real hero of this world dead. But in the meantime, I've come up with some hypotheses.
"Is it possible that these gods are not the top of the lineage of world leadership? That's just a hypothesis, huh?"
"..."
I could not say a word when in front of me appeared a bee, with her comrades behind!
A-Ahh, I want to say "hello" for now.
We stared at each other for a few seconds, before I finally came to my senses and finished them all off.
Ngiiigg! A high-frequency sound was released by the last bee I killed, before she turned into a few drop items and disappeared!
"It seems like something bad happened."
A rumbling voice sounded. The Dungeon shook violently, like a huge earthquake.
"W-what happened?" I couldn't help myself not asking. Wh why? Because it's a Flag sentence!
But clearly, it shook me until I had trouble walking.
A few seconds later, everything calmed down. A suspicious calm. But still, this calmness is killing me!
I don't like being surprised, okay! I better know where the enemy is before attacking!
"All right, I'll take my word. This is no longer a bad thing! It looks like something bad is happening!" I convinced myself and immediately ran back to the direction I came.
"Lucky I memorized the way home!" I tried to run as fast as I could, when the Dungeon shook again.
The tremors have stopped, but I know the matter doesn't stop. I gotta get out of here! If it's not wrong, it's already past the 15-minute interval time that the portal must have opened, and I can go back as long as the door is not resealed.
Ngong! That buzzing sound was heard from all directions!
("They're looking for me?") I could only stand still as all the sounds grew louder.
"Danger, huh?" I can only smile.
