The World’s Only Max-Level Lazy Introvert Accidentally Goes Viral After Helping a Famous Streamer Who Forgot to Turn off Her Dungeon Stream - 1

Chapter 1: The Introvert Reaches Max Level

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“One… Two… Three… I see. Five Bloody Dragons, huh?”

In front of me, five S-rank monsters, Bloody Dragon, were on a rampage. The dragons roared loudly. With their breath attack that had a wide area of effect and their poison-coated claw, they could easily take the lives of any explorers. Bloody Dragon was a monster that was absolutely monstrous in terms of offense and defense. One might say this was one of the most famous monsters. It was a top-tier monster, even among the many strong monsters in Void Dungeon. 

“GRRRRAAAAAGHHHH!!”

“So noisy…”

Frowning at the Bloody Dragons’ roar, I leaped high into the air. 

“My ears are getting botched thanks to you guys. You know, just because you’re a dragon, that doesn’t mean you can keep shouting without minding your surroundings.”

I said so as I cast the dark attribute spell, Black Hole Zone. 

DUNDUNDUNDUN

A black hole manifested with a deep, thunderous rumble. The dragons in the vicinity were pulled in thanks to the strong gravity pull from the black hole. 

“GROAR?!”

“GGRRRYYAAAARRR!!”

The Bloody Dragons, which had been roaring ferociously just a moment ago, were rendered powerless in front of the powerful black hole. The dragon let out pained shrieks while trying to get away from being sucked in. 

“Hahaha~ You guys are really desperate to run, huh? I see. Then let me raise the magic power a bit more.”

I muttered and at the same time, the suction force of the black hole intensified. This magic spell only affected the monsters in the dungeon. It wouldn’t pull in nearby humans or rocks and debris. The black hole just kept devouring the desperate bloody dragons.

“GRRROOOAARRRR!!”

Within a few seconds, all of the Bloody Dragon in the vicinity had been absorbed into the black hole without leaving a single trace. The once noisy deepest part of the Void Dungeon was finally shrouded in silence. 

Among all the monsters I had fought, Bloody Dragon was one of the few monsters that could give me a decent amount of experience points. Since I had defeated all five of them, it wouldn’t be a surprise if that… Were to appear soon. 

And then, as if to respond to my expectation, a new message appeared in my view accompanied by a cheery sound effect.

―――

Level up.

――――

“Alright…!”

After seeing the status window, I quietly pumped up my fist. Finally, I had reached the maximum level. As someone who had been fond of playing games since I was young, I was the type that wouldn’t be satisfied unless I reached the maximum level in my favorite games. I was the perfectionist type, so to say. I always collected every item, learned every skill and maxed out anything that could be leveled up. 

I always spent my days doing nothing but playing games, so I had never made any friends. As soon as class ended, I would go straight home to play games and of course, I also spent the whole weekend playing games.

People might say I was addicted to gaming, but I was actually quite proud of that ‘insult’. Naturally, I became excited to level up myself as a “Dungeon Explorer”. Although no one really knows why, but for some reason labyrinths, or dungeons, began appearing all around the world about 50 years ago. People went into full blown panic at that time but gradually, people became more knowledgeable about dungeons. Nowadays, people had become accustomed to living with the existence of dungeons.

Powerful monsters appeared within dungeons, but the monsters couldn’t get outside the dungeon.

People could gain extraordinary abilities the moment they stepped inside a dungeon. Just like the window status from earlier, people could use various magic or skills and even received an increase in status in the dungeon. With these abilities, people became able to fight on equal terms against monsters, or even on a higher ground than the monsters, just like I did.

Dungeons were filled with valuable materials. These included magic stones that could be used as a source of energy. We could use magic stones in place of electricity. Magic stone was highly sought after by the rich people. Furthermore, the materials that could be obtained from monsters themselves were highly valuable in the market too. The stronger the monster, the more sought after the materials were.

After people became aware of this information, many skilled explorers emerged from all over the world. Given that the dungeon could help strengthen the nation’s power, the Japanese government had decided to take hands in managing the dungeon. To be precise, the government had created the Dungeon Management Bureau to oversee dungeons across the nations. Explorers could also sell materials obtained from the dungeons and the government would give substantial rewards for defeating powerful monsters. Numerous benefits could be received by dungeon explorers. However, it went without saying that not everyone could become a good dungeon explorer.

Those who didn’t get useful skills or had significantly lower status were not even granted the permission to explore dungeons. I was quite fortunate in that regard. I was blessed with high status from level 1. The moment I defeated my first monster in the beginner’s dungeon, I became certain of one thing.

This game is so incredibly fun. 

Hence why I had been spending most of my days leveling up. Yes, I even sacrificed my sleep time for this. I looked up prime hunting spots and researched what kind of monsters could provide more experience. Unlike gaming, you had to put your life on the line while doing dungeon exploring. Not to mention, there was only so little information we had about dungeons. With so much information to be discovered, each new finding brought me great thrills that often kept me awake at night.

And today, I had reached the maximum level. I had searched high and low on social media and forums, but there was no information about anyone who had reached the maximum level. I wanted to see for myself what was waiting beyond the ultimate limit.

――――

Now that you’ve reached the maximum level, you have now acquired an extra skill. From now on, you won’t be able to keep leveling up, but you can still gain experience points from defeating monsters. Once these experience points reach a certain threshold, you will be able to learn a new extra skill. 

This time, you’ve gained the skill :

Teleportation

――――

“Oh?”

Teleportation, huh? Interesting… I was eager to try it out, but…

“Ah… I really need to sleep now.”

I checked the status screen and it was already 10 p.m. It was Sunday, so I had been grinding experience points non-stop since 6 a.m. I was beyond exhausted. It would be best if I head home and get some rest tonight. Even though I had reached the maximum level, but dungeon was filled with dangerous monsters. Exploring dungeons while I was still exhausted wouldn’t be a wise thing to do.

Now that I had decided on sleeping, I went back the way I came, but…

“Ugh… I really don’t want to go to school tomorrow…”

I couldn’t help but to mutter to myself.

★★★

“Hehehe… Hehehe…”

“Uwah… What’s with Oomomo from Class 4? He’s such a creep…”

Why? Because I was severely bullied at school.
