So far, Highess hadn't encountered many difficulties. He walked casually through the dungeon passage, but occasionally there would be apparitions.Mostly undead, which causes a nuisance due to their large numbers. It didn't bother Highess much; even if his body would be injured from sudden attacks.Crash...And the choice to finish this with a single strike was the best way; the monsters there instantly fell helpless"They keep appearing endlessly. Indeed, exploring dungeons like this should be done together with friends! But..." Highess mused as he looked at the road ahead, a gripping silence enveloping him. He didn't need to be overly afraid because this was just a game, but it still felt like an unusual experience.Following the path, he found a fork to the right."Uh..." Just as he was about to pass by it, he was suddenly startled by the sight of a monster hovering in the passage.With caution, Highess peered from behind the wall, noticing this creature was different from the und

It's a shame that everything can't be done easily

Highess wouldn't immediately do anything; he set a save data point. Once he finished, he quickly turned off the gaming device."Yawn... how long have I been playing this game?" His eyes fixed on the clock, 5 o'clock in the evening, the sunset's light creeping through the piles of trash that inhabited Highess's home. "It's only 5 o'clock, I should have played longer, but..."Crack!His body felt stiff, especially his back, which had been lying continuously, causing the pain to escalate rapidly.He got up and headed to the kitchen, splashing water on his face, then gazing at his own face with a challenging expression. The combination of weary eyelids and a pale face was truly a pitiful sight for him.There was no denying that he missed his school days, a carefree life unburdened by life's problems. Having pure aspirations like a newborn chick, but it seemed like a memory too bitter to remember.Sipping a cup of coffee, then sitting on the porch, enjoying the beautiful evening view, he c

Even if you try to cheat, it won't be easy to do

"Player?" Highess asked, confused, after finding a body lying on the ground. He was confused about who was in front of him. The figure had a human-like body but was also clad in sturdy armor."Hmm... very strange..." This was because Highess often encountered dominant traps; in the dungeon, there were various traps, including a sudden rising of a corpse that attacked him.And even if this were a boss area or a semi-boss, it was still too early. He had only reached a few floors, with four more floors to go until he reached a location where he might encounter enemies.For now, it was better for him to check first. He turned the person's body over, revealing a girl. She was panting, with a frown on her forehead."Player?"The girl's name was Nemila, wearing standard armor, indicating that she was a beginner who had accidentally entered the dungeon."Are you okay?"There was no answer, so Highess inserted a potion into the girl's mouth. Her reaction was swift; she opened her eyes and look

Actions that will not be justified even if you try to deny them

"You dare say that boldly, but it seems you truly are a foolish insect!""Eh..." Highess scratched his head after hearing her words. "Earlier, you called me a clever insect, and now you say I'm a foolish insect! What exactly are you trying to say? Don't make this complicated...""What I want to say is, you are a disgusting insect..."Highess felt a headache coming on as he tried to respond to this problem; he had clearly tried to remain calm earlier. But, now he was faced with a woman of fierce temperament.Highess sighed deeply. "Everywhere there are people with such personalities; they often insult others based on desired ideologies, and if not followed, they become ferocious!"Nemila suddenly took out a bazooka weapon. "Heh... now you will die, disgusting insect..."Tsssh...A large bullet was fired towards Highess, its size enough to cause critical damage.Kaboom...Fortunately, with the remaining time, Highess was able to dodge using his speed, gasping as he witnessed it all.The

A Path That Must Be Taken into chaos

The Unemployed Game Master/Azure Luster

Done with all of this, Highess obtained some useful items, aside from weapons and armor. He acquired several items that could be used for combat, such as sleep gas, poison gas, and bombs. All of these items could be easily used by him. He began to ponder why players would resort to criminal actions. By carrying out this such activities, they avoided expenses but surely faced specific sanctions from the developers. "Well, let's just say I got lucky! In dungeons like this, players do a lot of looting, just like in the video back then! It's quite terrifying to have to face player killers with great skills; I must be more cautious..." Moving forward, Highess found himself confronted only by numerous undead, relentlessly attacking him. Their ferocious nature was quite annoying, and their large numbers were exhausting. For five hours, Highess played through many obstacles and now stood before a door.<

If you still overdo it, it certainly won't be very good for your life procedures

The Unemployed Game Master/Azure Luster

There weren't many activities that Highess could engage in, but today he didn't immediately play games. He was walking around the city, the perfect time for an unemployed person to come out when the sunset was staring at him from a distance. "Huh... this life, I truly cannot understand it!" He was suddenly reminded about his past as a naive student, but oppression often tainted his memories. His feet stopped, and a reflection on the glass of a large building vaguely showed his withered face. A friendly beard that was often shaved, a pale complexion, and eyes that looked sideways. For many times, he couldn't believe the energetic child he once was had suddenly become weak and lethargic. "This is my life, what else can I do? I just have to accept the fate that has been written..." His feet then continued the journey, heading towards a supermarket.

Reaching a Point Where Everything Must Be Sacrificed

The Unemployed Game Master/Azure Luster

"Yosh..." Highess hadn't expected to come this far already, don't even ask what he had done. Since returning from shopping, he realized that life in the real world was very cruel, but he could be cruel in the gaming world.Crash...Many undead and monsters in the dungeon had already perished; they seemed to have been attacked by a terrifying force, but it was nothing more than proof of Highess's frustration.He walked casually, observing his surroundings. Floor 28, just a few more floors until he reached the boss area."Hmm... life, huh..." But suddenly, his heart grew uneasy; his feet stopped on a predetermined path. He gazed at the dungeon ceiling, filled with strange carvings.Shaking his head, Highess remembers a rather annoying memory that he'd rather forget. He quickened his steps back along the dungeon passage."No, no, I must not let myself be influenced by real-world life anymore; I must focus on making money! This is a journey I must go through, or else..." His hand clenched

Beliefs That Have Been Tested In True Beliefs

Gulp...This is the 20th potion for Highess's consumption, although the character he chose doesn't have sweat glands, in the real world his body is now drenched in sweat. His head even feels a bit dizzy from the prolonged activity."I haven't exercised in a long time, but this time in the game world, I'm forced to move in complicated ways! It's more exhausting than facing a boss!" He looks towards the door, the final destination on this floor. He stares at it seriously, knowing that behind it awaits a boss monster.The last time he faced an undead knight with strong defense and attacks, if accurately calculated, each floor would have a stronger boss. If he's careless in this condition, all his equipment will surely be gone.His hand suddenly stiff, a common occurrence for those who are too nervous while gaming. Especially now that Highess is tired, even regulating his breathing feels incredibly difficult.But he won't give up. With extreme caution, he pushes the door.Kreek..."As I e

I Have Been Struggling With All This

The Unemployed Game Master/Azure Luster

After being hit by Highess's attack, the form of the spirit possessing the power of wind became furious. An aura of anger could be seen from its sharply curved eyebrows accompanied by irregular furrows. "So, you're the one who caused me damage, but you're capable of pulling off tricks like this. I admit that you have formidable abilities and are worthy of defeat..." Shings... Highess drew his sword and then charged towards the spirit. Swungs... But, what happened was quite disappointing. The spirit's body retreated and then faded from sight. "Ugh... does it want to start all over again?" Similar critical conditions might occur again, Highess's eyes tried to observe his surroundings, the gust of wind reappeared without a form. Highess's body felt resigned to all of this; he stood upright, his face looking up at the ceiling. H

Actions that are not as easy to predict

The Unemployed Game Master/Azure Luster

Those are just words, easy to string together phrases that boost morale, but to do so requires true effort. After defeating the wind spirit, Highess decided to take a short rest. He was too dizzy to continue pushing himself, especially now the clock showed 2 in the morning. "I should be better at managing my time, but if I could, I wouldn't want to sleep..." Living in the gaming world, he found it much more enjoyable than constantly suffering in a world that was clearly cruel to him. Alright, everything now shifted to the next day. It seemed that the activities Highess engaged in weren't too important, just brewing coffee and grabbing a piece of bread for breakfast today. "Ouch..." He stared at his face in the mirror, his complexion too pale with dark circles around his eyes clearly evident. "This is the effect of staying up late too often, but if I don't hurry, other players might soon claim the rew
