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 8 - Entering the Dungeon

Chapter 8 – Entering the Dungeon

I entered the starting dungeon.

I didn’t tell anyone about entering this dungeon.

In this world, dungeons are considered “a dangerous place.”

There aren’t many people who would enter.

In the game, after an event where they managed to drive back the bandits, Dust and Alicia come here to train and raise their level, feeling lacking in strength.

The first battle is mostly an event battle where you learn the game system, so this dungeon can be considered your first proper battle.

I believe in striking back when struck.

I’ll get ahead of Dust without him noticing!

This is the best option right now!

Moreover, there’s a Karma Ticket here.

I want to get it for myself.

Dust tried to use the Karma Ticket on me. I can’t let him have any more tickets.

The starting dungeon doesn’t have that much valuable treasure, but it’s perfect for level farming and getting gold.

Unlike the grassland, there are many monsters inside the dungeon.

First, let’s take a look around the entrance. Immediately, I found 6 goblins.

I raised my shield and strengthened my defense.

Unlike the game, these guys throw stones and daggers at you.

I stopped the movements of a goblin with my shield as per usual and defeated one with my mace!

Then, I blocked the daggers thrown at me with my shield.

It took some time, but I carefully defeated the second and third goblins.

When there were only 3 left, I was surrounded.

I received attacks from behind and the side, but after defeating the goblin in front of me, I changed direction, taking attacks while wiping out the other two goblins.

I collected the dropped gold.

“…You again.”

This time, it’s three orcs.

Orcs, like me, carry clubs and shields.

I focused my attacks on one orc, inevitably taking hits from the remaining ones, but I tried to position myself as best as I could to take down one.

I systematically defeated the orcs while taking damage.

[Level increased from 10 to 11]

“Heal!”

I use Heal, which I can only use twice, to recover from the damage.

But as long as I’m near the entrance, I don’t feel like I’m going to die.

I fought near the entrance of the dungeon until I used up my two Heals and reached level 12 before returning to the village.

Everyone approached me.

“Hey, you’re in tatters. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“If you go home like that, your mother will be worried.”

“It’s okay. It’s just that the equipment is in tatters.”

“You’re bleeding too.”

“It’s just a scratch, so don’t worry about it.”

After everyone expressed their worries for me, I returned to the weapon shop.

“Gett! You’re all beaten up!”

“I’m fine.”

“Gett, make sure to eat well today, take a bath, and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Both my father and mother were worried about me.

Next time, I’ll wash off the blood in the river before coming back.

I ate plenty, soaked in a relaxing bath, and fell asleep.

◇

When I woke up in the morning and sat down at the table, my mother and father stared at me.

“Gett, are you going to hunt monsters today too?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong?”

“Please change your equipment.”

“But I don’t have any money saved up.”

“You can pay later.”

“Your father and I are worried about you. Just change your equipment.”

“Okay. I’ll make sure to pay.”

Father brought equipment from the weapon shop.

Although it’s called a weapons shop, it sells armor, potions, and food too.

It was initially opened as a weapons shop, so it’s been operating under that name ever since.

In front of me were placed an iron shield, a chainmail robe, and long boots.

“Try them on.”

All armor has been renewed.

The stats of my old equipment was

Wooden shield: 30

Cloth clothes: 10

Wooden shoes: 10

Because of the new equipment, my defense has doubled.

“It fits perfectly and I feel much safer.”

“I’m glad that it fits you perfectly.”

“That’s so reassuring!”

Mother hugged me.

“Don’t push yourself too hard and come back soon.”

“Yeah, I will.”

I lied and headed to the dungeon.

When they treat me so well, I want to give it my all.

I don’t know who’ll be killed by the bandits. It could be my father or my mother who gets killed.

Because our past actions have changed, everyone’s actions have changed, and now we don’t know who might be killed.

I’ll become stronger so that I and everyone else don’t die.

I spent a month hunting monsters at the starting dungeon’s entrance.

I gave the money I earned to my father and had him make better equipment for me.

However, leveling up is getting harder.

The recommended level here is 10, but I’m a solo-party.

I leveled up a bit more just to be safe.

Unlike in the game, there are fewer monsters now.

The more monsters I hunt, the fewer there are. That’s only natural in reality, huh?

Next, I’ll head to the middle layer of the dungeon.
