They've been inside for a few days now, and they're still moving slowly and cautiously through the tangled jungle. Nevertheless, today it appears like someone arrived here before them since he can clearly hear their footsteps resonating loudly among the tall trees.

“Someone is approaching us,” Screw said as he retreated behind a bush.

[System notification]

[Another beast was detect]

A swarm of goblins was in front of him. They appear to be getting ready to battle. After some time, the goblins' line of defense was breached by the stamp of a hoof.

A large bull with two enormous horns arrived, standing on two legs and brandishing an axe. In front of the goblins, the minotaur's foot struck the ground and stomped on it.

A goblin charged forward to assault him but was stopped by an axe that slammed down quickly on his neck and severed his head. The lifeless corpse hit the ground as it dropped. The might of this beast astounded the goblins, who were quickly overpowered.

“(⁠@⁠_⁠@⁠)”

“(⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠)”

“щ⁠(⁠゜⁠ロ⁠゜⁠щ⁠)”

A group of goblins from the back line were discussing something, and afterward they sent a distress signal by burning some leaves.

Meanwhile, a man was hiding in a bush while munching some wall nuts. [Where did you find that food?] The system asks. The man stuffed another wall nut into its mouth and said, “Ask this little guy.” He pointed with his lips at the small horned squirrel munching a wall nuts next to him.

[Little Horn Squirrel?] The system asks as it looks down at the small creature that was eating. The tiny creature chirped and gazed up at it with naïve huge, innocent black eyes, making it appear more like a puppy than a squirrel. Its mouth was full of wall nuts.

That was lovely in a really nice sense, but it was also quite disturbing. The poor animal wasn't even sure of its own purpose in this place.

[Let's change the subject]

[How come I seem to understand those goblins?]

“Meaning?” he asked.

[There's something like scribbled or lines when they communicate to each other] the system was totally confused.

Screw, read the system prompt, and keep glancing back and forth at the goblins. He pointed at the doodle and sketch, which the system was asking about: “Do you mean those emoticons?”

The system became even more perplexed. [What are emoticons?]

The system genuinely inquired. “Merely an image of a face expression,” he answered.

He told the squirrel to pass him more nuts as he tapped the horn again. In order to get into a hole, the horn squirrel hurried and sprang to the nearest tree. The horn squirrel goes up and picks up more wall nuts there before tossing them away. He then descends once again, returns to its station, and stuffs yet another wall nut into its mouth.

Both of them munch with delight while watching the minautor massacre the goblins. While enjoying the show, the system prompt appeared: [Where's Gura?]

“Her?” He used his lips again to point at the nearest tree: “She's over there, slee—”

“She's gone!” he exclaimed while sweating so hard. “Allyssa, what should we do?” he asks while panicking.

[Calm down first]

[We don't know if she got abducted or she just take a stroll nearby]

[System suggest to use a pathfinder skill]

“Great idea Allyssa-sama.”

Screw standing up and walk to where Gura was sleeping before she was gone. [Pathfinder skill: Walk of the Earth]* He cast his skill, and his eyes glowed; a footprint of three pairs was found where she was sleeping.

The human footprint is his, but the other two pairs are likely from goblins, the system said. [It seems she's been abducted.] “Well, is she popular?” he jokingly said, but after several seconds he felt an astonishing cold sweat and shiver.

“Oh flock! That's Goblins.” He suddenly ran fast, following the footprints' direction: “I'm going to tear all of their mud eggs if they touch her.” He ran as fast as he could while gritting his teeth behind his mask.

As much as he didn't like to admit it, sometimes he was afraid. Scared about what would happen once he found his student, or rather that one day a goblin king will snatch her up and she'll be forced to marry him, which is probably unlikely to happen.

He stopped for a while because there were more than two footprints in the ground, and when he approached them, an axe flew towards him and landed beside his crotch. “Flock!”

An elite minotaur stomped his hooves several times before running towards him. He lowered his head and used his two massive horns to crush him.

“Flock it!” He screamed as he started to stand up and run in a different direction. The minotaur knows the human will dodge his charge, but he didn't stop instead, when he dodged, he grabbed and used his axe to change his direction towards Screw.

“What!” He was amazed at what the minotaur did. [What an intelligent creature!] The minotaur deserves praise.

He crossed his fist “Allyssa activate our arsenal!” The system started to charge up [Activating Spirit Skill: Spirit of the Black Bear]. A huge spirit bear manifested at his back, giving him strength.

The minotaurs charged at him, but he was prepared. He grabbed the minotaur horns and stopped his charge. Both of them were on their feet, still giving every ounce of their strength to push each other back.

The minotaur got annoyed and used both hands to hold his axe, then suddenly gave a heavy swing towards Screw. [Not on my watch] the system activates another skill, [Activating Spirit Skill: Tortoise Spirit].

Suddenly, Screw's protection increased, and an imperceptible hard barrier halted the axe. “To me, ol' frit,” at the minotaur's feet, a burst of flames appeared and then erupted, continuing to do so until the minotaur succumbed to burns.

He said, “Phew, that's not difficult at all,” but as soon as he finished speaking, another bunch of elite minotaurs came and walked toward him. “It appears this champ has to look after a herd of small cows, isn't it?” he said, turning to face the minotaurs behind him.

“Allyssa…”

[I'm on it]

[Activating Spirit Skill: Tortoise Spirit]

[Activating Spirit Skill: Spirit of the Black Bear]

[Activating Spirit Skill: Monkeys Spirit]

His powers were improved by the activation of three successive active skills. He knelt down and paused for two seconds before charging at his foes. He dodged the minotaur onslaught with the help of the monkeys' acrobatic prowess and utilized the tortoise barrier to protect himself in case an assailant stumbled and injured him. He attacks and subdues the minotaurs while using the black bear's might.

This takes several hours before he defeated all of the minotaurs attacking him. “Is that all Allyssa?” he ask the system [Yes, I can't detect anymore hostile enemies].

“That's good then. Let's go and pick Gura now.”

[The system agrees]

Screw got moving and started to sprint towards the footsteps. As he arrived, he noticed that several goblins were bowing before the largest goblin in front of them.

This goblin is carrying a king's scepter, wearing a cloak crafted from a monster's body, and donning a bone crown. “Hmm, a goblin king appeared, so that's why there are a lot of goblins here.” while scanning in front of him, he asks the system, “How should we go through?”

He inquired again since the system's silence confused him, but the system delivered a message prompt before he could finish.

[Look at the left-handed goblin king; he's grasping something.]

Screw saw that the Goblin King's left hand was clutching a head as he peered at it. He abruptly stopped speaking after saying, “He's clutching her head, but why it appears I know—,” and an outburst of rage appeared within him.

The head of a small girl, whose life he must rescue at all costs.

[We failed to arrive in time.]

All of a sudden, a chaotic aura appeared and spread over the region. Under his plague mask, he smiles violently while crying out in rage.

[Notification from system:]

“Kill…”

[No one is allowed to accept]

“And ceasing the”

But death lurks beneath this beautiful repose. [Is that a little horned squirrel?] The system inquires, looking down at the little creature who is feeding. The small creature chirped, its mouth full of wall nuts, and gazed up at it innocently with huge, innocent black eyes, giving it the appearance of a puppy rather than a squirrel. It was charming and adorable in a strange manner. It had no idea what it was doing here. “Let's change the subject,” he suggests, “because it appears we've done this kind of stuff before.” He rubs his head in frustration.

    Elite goblins and hobgoblins were gathered in the middle of the battlefield when a swarm of elite minotaurs plummeted from the sky one by one. The goblin army was alarmed by their unexpected presence. Caught off guard, the goblin king hastily ordered the attack with his entire army, leaving just a few brave guards and even one brave wizard behind him. Unaware that their destiny was sealed that night, they stood there helplessly, powerless to save them. The minotaur general, who appeared to be the most terrifying monster in the forest, let out a loud roar as he plunged head-on into the goblin army, his armor clanging and scraping across the stone floor. With each swing of his battle axe, he slashed at the goblins and killed several more, leaving much more hurt than dead in his wake. He battled fiercely like an ancient warhorse. The minotaur kept going, brandishing death at his foe. When he swung his battle axe, he brought more dead victims into the fray, until the weapon was dripping

The system inquired, [Do we need to save her now?], and he said, “No, she's already been saved and safeguarded from the very beginning.”This perplexed the system even more, but instead of asking further questions, it became silent.

    The girl got up immediately, perplexed as to what had occurred. She recalls a ruthless hand grabbing her body and dragging her into the book, and then she witnessed the life and tale of a guy in the third person. She's still drowsy from the tiredness, so she just sleeps there, staring at the attic ceiling, for a few moments until her memory returns. Her pulse rate increased slightly as she recalled what had actually occurred, and she became scared. She attempted to remain calm because it wasn't real. ‘This is not true.’ She reflected to herself. Everything was in her head. “The man, his narrative, the little kid, and everything else are all creations of my mind.” She told herself, "I can do this." Everything will be alright if I remain cool and continue to take deep breaths as before. “I'm hungry,” she grumbled as she touched her tummy. “I guess it's already morning,” she replies, rising up and collecting her suitcase before looking and thinking if she would take the cursed book wit

    Above. The gods look down on all beings other than their own kind. Then, as the mightiest, you must enforce the norm and allow the lowest animals to follow, bow, repent, and pray. Because they had endless lives, they were bored doing nothing, and the gods decided to invent entertainment suitable for a deity that monarchizes every world they control. The gods have an eye in every universe; they established this link to facilitate communication and wagering. Gods that crave amusement will go to any length to obtain it. One example is the formation of angels, demon lords, heroes, saints, and monsters to compete for the correct piece to employ. Whoever wins will be fortunate. They LIE. This is a never-ending cycle of battle, life, and death. But all changes when the Ertoverse, a component of the multiverse, gives birth to a solitary man on planet Ert. They refer to him as a miscalculation, a mistake, or a bug, to be precise. The guy they believed was the weakest link turned out to be t

    The first rays of morning appeared, and a symphony of lyrical bird melodies began to float across the settlement. The streets were softly illuminated by the newly risen sun, which was accompanied by a rush of morning activity. She massaged her groggy eyelids as dawn crept into her chamber. She caught a glimpse of a pearly gleam in the sky through the window. A man with a plague mask waited at the door next to her. He turns to her and says, “Good morning,” before going back to make her food. She leaps from her bed, rushes, and then suddenly clutches her master's back. She buried her face into her master's back as she said, “It's been long—so long.” When Screw noticed it, he said, “Go back now, and thank you for remembering me.” ***** “Happy birthday, Gura. Happy birthday, Gura. Happy birthday! Happy birthday!” “Happy birthday, Gura!” “Woah! Thank you,” Gura said, closing her eyes before blowing out the candle.

    “Fireball!” A ball of flame erupted from Perk's hand. Perk began to recite another magic spell after firing the fireball, “Fireball Brid,” and a little firebird flew and burned her attackers. It's only been fifteen minutes since the brawl began, but they feel like they've been fighting for many hours. There are too many weird monkeys on every side, and they are encircled. “We've killed a dozen of them, but they still—” Malt avoids monkey claws and counterattacks with a little knife, striking the monkey in the heart. Zack killed the beast with a concealed blade, creeping up on May. “Thank you,” May says as she smashes the beast monkey's head. “Focus on what's in front of you, May,” Zack said as he slashed another one. “There are too many of them... It's difficult for me to defend.” Joy pierced the beast's midsection and blasted the other one, who attacked her front with her big shield. “Form a circle formation!” Zack remains in the foreground, Joy is in the rear, guarding May, who is

    ‘Is she crazy?’ He was stunned. The scene broke Screw's heart. He can't believe he witnessed the murder case of treachery. Everything was quiet. Actually, it was only for him. Currently, the person in front facing the NOT SO RAGE BECAUSE OF THE WONDERFUL DRUG BABOONS was too busy maintaining his position to realize that one of his friends had been assassinated. Zack keeps his sword drawn and successfully repels this mad monkey's second attack. “Hey everyone, get up now!” Zack exhorts, “I can't hold these crazy baboons anymore.” Zack dropped and tightened his knees to withstand the physical might of that punch. *Clang* His entire body was drenched in crimson perspiration. “Guys, a little help, please.” Zack knows his limit, and he can't take more of the Berserk Baboons, so he tried to cast a glance back to see if he could see his friends. When he saw Perk's bloodied neck and slashed it out, he went blank. “Ooh, I recognize that expression; you were asking who killed your magician,

    It's been many weeks since the tragedy in the village, but no one knows or has heard anything about what happened there. It appears to have never existed in the first place. The master-disciple duo stood at the food booth, staring at the grilled meat with seasonal vegetables, salads, and various sauces. Everyone wants to nibble on that piece of meat because of the perfume it emits.“Can we eat?” Gura asked while salivating at the dish in front of her eyes. “Nope…” Screw said, while his stomach grumbled, “You got money?” He asked.“None,” she cried.[The system suggests working as an adventurer.]The system suddenly suggested the most efficient way to gain spare money.

They continued traveling after passing through the dungeon's second floor, where they battled even lesser enemies that may pose a severe threat to them.They made it to the third floor, destroyed all the minions in their path, and plundered a tiny goblin village. The fourth floor was likewise simple. The fifth floor included a red ogre in his prime with a powerful axe and a blue ogre who tried to murder them but died after a strike to the head and a few strong punches from the adventurers.They made it to the sixth floor and encountered a little lizard that nearly killed their entire party due to its tremendous magical assault.

    Another wolf came in and lunged at Gura; she escaped the onslaught and slapped its neck with a stick. The wolf, beaten by the stick, rises up and looks at Gura's position. *Grrr* The other wolf sat back and let him hit once again. This time, instead of attacking, the wolf circled Gura, targeting and positioning itself to charge with its claws. She didn't move an inch. Outside, she's as tranquil as water, but on the inside, a seething wave of excitement devours her. She wishes to taste it. That is all over her head. The wolf pounced again after numerous circlings, but this time with more tremendous leg force. He prepared his sharp claws to claw Gura's back and then aim for her neck for a kill. But the wolf was taken aback when Gura moved and confronted his attack head-on, as if she had anticipated it. She flicked her wrist and flung the stick, striking the wolf's nose and causing the creature to lose its equilibrium. This allows Gura to jump into the wolf's body, retrieve her dagger

    How would you feel if your friend died in front of you?

    A bunch of folks rummaged through some lost grass in the middle of the glaring heat. Others utilized it for medicinal reasons, while others used it as a main meal. It's been weeks since the great village exodus. Many locals became depressed since they didn't know what to do and had lost hope. “If the great chief had not died inside our village, he would have survived and led us; maybe we would have known what to do,” one of the village survivors explained. “We can't do anything; those bandits attack us unexpectedly and without hesitation.” A lady embraces a bundle of grass and inquires, “Why do those bandits attack us? Is it because we agreed to call an adventurer from the guild?” After Screw and the adventurers leave the settlement, everything happens so quickly.

    The city was not particularly large, but the residents were ecstatic. When word spread that a dungeon was sprouting on Malaska Plain, several merchants rushed inside. A guy approached the caravan while examining the surroundings. “Good to see you all arrived safely,” he replied, bowing to them. “As scheduled, we arrive on time; where should we stay?” The guy grinned and motioned for the caravan to follow him. They arrive at the local inn and instructed the members of the caravan to stay and rest for a while and before daybreak they must ready to go to the Malaska plain. The young girl use this time to buy more necessity for her own survival and prepare for the upcoming adventure inside the dungeon. They arrived at a nearby inn and advised the caravan members to stop and relax for a time before departing towards the Malaska plain before daylight. The little girl takes this time to stock up on supplies for her own survival and prepare for the approaching adventure inside the dungeon.
