I spent a few hours in the dungeon and managed to finish it clearly without of critical wound. My shirt was dirty and tattered. I come out safely was a miracle itself. The monster decrease, but they're stronger than usual monsters. In the end, I meet with the Purple Orc who chases me when I still live with my parents and get my revenge on him.
In the end, I still don't get my answers about why the monsters decreasing when I enter alone. Little I know was the abnormality in the dungeon connected with me. The last boss was the proof.
I "meet" with the self-proclaimed God and get a skill. He nonchalantly refuses my request for a "normal" eyes because it was not related to making me stronger. Instead, he gives me the skill to change my body part even temporary.
So annoying.
I walked to the village while regretting what I got today. Suddenly I notice there's someone in front of me.
"Oh my, what are you doing in the dungeon alone slave?
I meet with the spiked-haired boy who talked with Alan this morning. I decided to play as a slave.
"My master told me to bring a lot of magic stone, so I go to dungeon alone."
I can lie here because Alan's party will leave this village, so he won't able to ask them. When they come back to this village, at that time I already left this village for sure.
"Is that so, but for what reason they told you such a request?"
"I don't know, I never questioning the request of my master."
"What a faithful slave....You think I will be deceived huh?"
I stay silent.
"The fact you as a slave bring a valuable thing is weird you know. All slave possession usually come to their master. But you holding Storage Pouch and that sword is unusual isn't?
"My master trusts me."
"No way, Alan won't use slave in the first place. He always resent anyone who has a slave
He has a strong sense of justice you know."
"Is that so?"
"Oh, finally you show your true self. Who are you and why you come to the dungeon?"
"You don't have the right to meddle with my personal affair."
"What about I tell them about this matter? I and Alan were friends for a long time, so he will listen to what I tell him. Even he won't ask you directly, he will find out later."
"What do you want?"
"You're smart huh."
"During your conversation with Alan, you often talk about me, as you want to know everything about me."
Yeah, back then he always asks about me, where will I go if I don't follow Alan's party to Capital.
He has ulterior motives.
He threatening me.
"I want you to give me your storage pouch. You don't need such a thing in your age."
Hoo, he aiming for my storage pouch. He is a perfect target to test out my skill. Slowly I open my bandage while Transform my eyes. I never knew what is my eyes color. But I only Imagine to change them to the same color as normal people.
"Heeee, so that injury is fake to huh? What your intention to show me?"
"Nothing, just like you who showing your true self, I doing the same."
Finally, my eyes are exposed. He doesn't surprise a bit. It's success huh?
"What do you think about my eyes?"
I ask him just for confirmation.
"What you talking about, your eyes have nothing special, just normal red eyes only."
So my eyes color is red huh.
"Don't waste my time, give me your storage pouch or I will reveal your secret."
I already get my objective
Time to dispose of him.
"Okay, catch it."
I throw the storage pouch and prepared my mithril dagger. When he focused his attention toward Storage Pouch, I throwing my dagger with my buff.
It pierces his throat perfectly and stabbed a tree behind him. My storage pouch landed on his face with a thud and his body collapse backward like a broken doll.
I approaching him. His eyes are glaring to me, and his mouth seems to curse me, but his voice never comes out.
I aim his throat because his throat exposed when he pays attention to my storage pouch before. Besides, I don't want him screams too. The dungeon is relatively close to the village, I afraid his voice will wake up the villagers.
"You know, I already want to beat your ass when you talked to us this morning, but I don't have a chance. I already know your true personality at the moment you talked about me so much."
He wriggling but his voice never comes out.
"But luckily, you show yourself here and I have the chance to crush you to my heart content."
He tried to grab my feet but I kick his hand.
"Now, what do you think about my eyes?"
I ask him while covering my left eye. I undo the transformation.
His eyes are wide opened and try to get away from me. Hoo With this I already confirm what God said is true.
I waiting for him to die slowly. When I confirm his death, I take his body to the storage pouch.
I already test it out, when I carry goblin's corpse. I can take a corpse but I can't take living one.
I can't leave his body in the outside like this. I will bring him to the 2nd floor in the dungeon.1st floor is not suitable because slime would never make a wound like this.
After retrieving the dagger, I dive once again to the dungeon and go straight to the 2nd floor. I left his body near the crystal and the monster slowly devouring his body. With this, I won't be suspected.
'He died because of the monsters.'
When I get to the outside, I clean the blood where he falls before and buries it using a pile of dirt. I wipe a stain of blood in the tree too.
I never label myself as a benevolent person. When I help Olivia and Alan's party, this is because of humanity's sense.
I will act based on what other people do to me.
If they were kind to me, I can return their kindness
But if they hurt me, I will pay back them tenfold.
I'm not a monster who can kill people easily, nor a Saint who helps anyone.
I will consider the benefit for me to doing that.
I won't do it if it's impossible.
My survival is more important than any benefit.
Then I go back to the Inn and wash myself. Time to change the plan. I already know the abnormality is caused by me. If I stay here any longer, I afraid someone will suspect me. I already can change my eyes, so I can go freely from now.
After washing my self, I come back to my room. I use my mana shield as stairs to climb to my room's window.
When I reach my room, I immediately fall asleep.
In the morning, I wrapping my left eye with a bandage once again, because I can't suddenly take it off. It will ruin my reputation and labeled as a liar.
After having breakfast with everyone, I made farewell with Bernard and everyone. I buy a lot of potion too.
I come to Rick's house and say farewell and give my gratitude to him and his father (by buying a lot of potion).
Teles Village is very nice, but I can't stay here for a long time. Then I continue my journey by following the river once again. I will go to the city this time.
My next destination is Andalas.
