I Reincarnated as the Mob Flame User Destined to Die in the Early Stages of the Game, but When I Cleared the Event Before the Protagonist, the Heroines Followed Me - Chapter 14 - The Deep Layer of the Starting Dungeon [Dust’s POV]

Chapter 14 – The Deep Layer of the Starting Dungeon [Dust’s POV]

[Dust’s POV]

I’ve turned 17 years old.

Shortly after being chosen as a Hero, training personnel were placed in the village for a while.

The purpose is to train me to become the best Hero.

I received special treatment and gained many skills just by continuing to train.

As expected of me!!

As a Hero, I can learn any skill, and my stats increase by saving people from monsters.

Today, I’ll take a little break. Huh? Has that Gett returned to the village?

Whoa, he’s in tatters, isn’t he? His shield is dented and his robe is frayed.

The outside world must be too harsh for that mob guy.

I’m already close to the depths of the starting dungeon.

I’ll get a Karma Ticket there.

Gett, you probably won’t even be able to conquer the starting dungeon even if it takes you the rest of your life, but if it’s me, I can conquer it solo.

You’re just a mob, and I’m the greatest Hero.

I’ll be with you for a little over a year, then you’ll die when you turn 18.

Until then, just keep living in your delusions.

Lately, I’ve been getting bored with all the training.

That mob’s about to die soon. Guess I’ll talk to him.

“Hey! Gett!”

“Dust, I’m really tired right now.”

“Wait! You’re looking rough. Did you struggle against goblins or orcs?”

“That’s right, see you later.”

“Waitt!!! Haha, it’s been a long time since we last met. Remember the starting dungeon you said was dangerous?”

“Yeah, I remember…”

“It might be impossible for you, but I’m close to the deep layer there. Don’t get it twisted, I can do it because I’m the Hero. It’s pointless for you to go now.”

“Yeah, I guess I won’t be going to the starting dungeon anymore.”

“It’s good that you know that. Did you run away from a dangerous situation like hunting small fries? What happened?”

“Yeah, monsters are really dangerous.”

“Hahahahaa!! What are you going to do now?”

“I’m going to practice my skills at Old Man Zes’ place now.”

“Hah! Hahaha! Hahaha! Seems like you’re starting to understand your place! Mobs like you have to desperately train their skills or you’ll die if you leave the village!!”

Gett left without saying anything.

Ah, it felt really refreshing.

That guy was so battered just from fighting goblins and orcs.

No, if it’s that Gett, there’s a possibility that he was beaten up by slimes.

Unlike me, if you’re incompetent, no matter how hard you try, it’s all in vain.

It seems like he finally realized that.

“You’re slacking off again! Get back to training!”

“Claire, huh?”

Claire’s a dark elf, one of the characters in the game party.

She’s a beautiful woman with long silver hair, red eyes, and brown skin.

The white bikini armor and cloak go well with her brown skin, giving it a nice look.

She’s tall for a woman, but she’s still shorter than me. She’ll look good standing next to me.

She moves gracefully without any wasted motion, but her figure is even more impressive.

I can’t wait to enjoy her big chest and pump thighs.

Of course, she’s destined to be mine, but I can’t wait until I’m 18!

Plus, the two women behind Claire are also incredible beauties.

They’re both 19 like Claire, my instructors for attack and healing magic, but I’ve already learned magic.

I don’t need any more training, but…I’ll try to tease them a bit.

“If you all become my sex slaves, I’ll work harder.”

“Stop joking around! You haven’t even mastered the basics of sword or magic! Start training right away!”

“Claire, leave it. Didn’t the king say you don’t have to push too hard?”

“That’s right, the Hero says training isn’t necessary. Let’s respect the hero’s will and end the training.”

“I’m already the strongest even without training.”

“You still haven’t mastered the basic training!”

“Hah! I’ll go conquer a dungeon right now!”

“Wait, don’t go!!”

The other two girls stopped Claire who was about to follow after me.

It seems like mobsters know more about my power than Claire.

I headed to the starting dungeon.

Once inside, I quickly hide with the “Stealth” skill.

Seriously, I’m the best. I was able to even acquire the Stealth skill by self-study.

It’s the best skill to make it harder for monsters to notice me.

To distract the monsters, I threw a stone far away.

Then, when the monsters on the other side reacted, I quickly moved inside.

Today, I’ll conquer the starting dungeon!

I’ll defeat the Goblin King and get the Karma Ticket!

I entered the boss room where the Goblin King should be.

…Huh? The Goblin King’s not here?

No way! No, no, no! It can’t be!!

The ticket isn’t here! There’s no Goblin King either!

What the hell?!!!

“Damn it! Who the hell took it?!”

My shout attracted the monsters.

“Arghhh! Monsters are coming! Stealth!”

I remained patient in the corner of the room and crouched down until all the monsters were gone.

I-it’s not that I can’t win, i-it’s just that fighting head-on isn’t always the best…

◇

After a while, I left the dungeon.

It was really suffocating.

Well, I could’ve won, but I let the monsters off easy.

After all, I’m the best.

I opened my status.

Dust, Human Male

Level: 20

HP: 140 B

MP: 140 B

Physical attack: 140 B

Physical defense: 140 B

Magic attack: 140 B

Magic defense: 140 B

Speed: 140 B

Unique skill: Hero

Skills: “Sword LV9”, “Stealth LV15”, “Heal LV2”, “Recovery LV1”, “Fire LV3”

Weapon: Iron sword: 150

Armor: Iron armor: 70, Battle boots: 40

Still, it’s really strange. Even though I’m doing a lot to protect everyone from monsters, I can’t accumulate Brave Points for the Hero skill.

I’ve defeated so many monsters.

It wouldn’t be strange if all my stats rankings were SS.

Are they not grateful enough for me?

That must be it.

Even though I’m helping them, I’m not being rewarded.

There’s hardly anyone as decent as me.

The Hero Dust lived his life by slacking off, not once did he help others. Still, he thought he was the only kind person.
