That Time That I Got Reincarnated AsThe OP-iest Guild Master

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Journey

"W-Where am I?" I raspily asked myself when both my eyes opened.

I forcefully lift myself from the floor of this strange place where I gain my conscious back and look all over to know where I am. 

And unbelievably, all just what I see is the total ruins of an old powerful empire buried in the ground.

 I reach my head and stare blankly in the air because of a massive dump of information that I need to digest all at once.

'I-I can't believe this... this is totally unbelievable! I am totally reincarnated in another world just like the ego in my head is telling me a while ago when I'm on the midst of wishing to all Gods in heavens to give me a second chance to live! Damn! I think I need days to digest all of this in my head! I am getting crazy!'

'But wait... why does my body feel so light like I could run a marathon? Wait... don't tell me...'

I break my staring contest in the air and crawl over to a nearby well to find my own answer to my questions. And when I just have a glimpse of my face on the well... I already verified that all of out-of-this-world-happenings to me now is really not a dream! I repeat. This is not a dream!

I am totally reincarnated in another world with a different body!

"Ha..." I heavily breath out and stare in the midair again because who could just believe what happened to me anyway in just a snap?!

'An hour ago, I was totally the loser-fat-ugly-ass of our school who died because someone pushed me to the rooftop. And now, in just a blink of an eye, my mere desperate wish to be reincarnated comes true! And not only that!'

'I also have given a body that has the capability to attract all the women and men out there! Because without lying, the body that I have now is beyond average. I can be a top-model in the showbiz industry without lifting any of my fingers because of my face and sexy-petite body.'

'But sadly, I was reborn in another world so I can't use this new body of mine to be an instant millionaire. Tsk. What a loss...'

I heaved a sigh because of disappointment. Nonetheless, when I pull myself out of my irrelevant thoughts, I notice something in the place where I am.

It is too quiet… and the only thing that makes a noise here is the droplets of water coming from above to the well. Added the atmosphere of this place. As if — this place was totally abandoned by civilization many many years ago because the ruins seem so old and rusty. And also — it is giving me the vibe that in this wide city full of ruins, I am the only human breathing here.

Just... what is this place?

[Kai! You are resurrected inside the dungeon. In the Old Great City of Olyzeria. Floor 100.]

'The ego... I heard its monotonous voice again... it speaks again inside my head. Is it like a system that helps me to know things in this world...'

[Kai! The hatchling is correct. The one that the hatchling is hearing right now is one of his unique skills: Voice of the World.]

I see... I think I can get a grasp of what is really happening now since I calm down. It is not even hard to understand things though since I'm an introvert in my previous life and have been living all of my life reading sci-fi manga's. But... this is really just so unbelievable and surreal.

Nevertheless, I must pull my shits together now. I must face the fact that this is not a dream but my reality. If I keep acting like a lost kitten in the woods. I don't know what will happen to me here.  Since — the system said that I am inside in a dungeon.

And I know for a fact that dungeons are the lair of monsters. And the monster's power in every dungeon is based on the floor where they reside. And the deeper the floor is — the more dangerous it will be.  

That is my understanding in dungeons. And based also on the talking ego in my head, the Old Great City of Olyzeria, where I am now, is on the one-hundred-th floor of this dungeon. Which means...

"System, can I ask how deep this dungeon is?"

[Kai! Request granted. Analyzing the Labyrinth of Aztect...]

[Kai! Analyzing completed. The Labyrinth of Aztect deepest floor is the one-hundred-one floor where the loots and the dungeon boss reside.]

My eyes automatically widened after what I've just heard. I look at the floor where I am sitting comfortably and shiver instantly because the thought of the boss of this dungeon lying just beneath me is totally insane.

I sighed and shook my head.

'I guess, this world is kind to me at all because it not let me open my eyes after reincarnated in the dungeon boss floor though and let me die again instantly with one hit'

'Tsk. Perhaps, from my observation, I guess this Great City of Olyzeria is the safe floor of this dungeon.'

'Because aside from floors that are full of monsters. There is every floor in every dungeon that is called the safe floor based on the manga's I've read. It is called the safe floor because no monsters resides here and it can be the temporary camp site of those who enter the dungeon who want to recover their arm forces or what not'

I sighed again after a while of deeply thinking of what I will do now since I understand the situation I'm in.

I stand up from the ruined floor I have been sitting on for a while and linger my eyes on the giant obsidian door that is at the end of this City. And by just staring at it, I already feel the tremendous and kneel shaking magic energy coming from that room that represents how strong this dungeon boss is.

I make both my palms to fist.

"I need to get stronger," I said to myself while not leaving my eyes to the obsidian door.

'To get stronger, or to die again in a pitiful way' It is my only choice in my sleeves. And I don't want to choose the same end that I met in my previous life. That's why even though it is impossible for my current status to go alone to the floor ninety-nine, I must try. I must take risks. 

This is not the world that used to be so cruel to me anyway. Here, I can get stronger. I can be proud of myself here. I can be the person I wanted to become here. As long as I don't give up — I can be at the summit. That's why I must try!

B-But... (my fist tighten) my plan... to fight head to head with high level monsters after I just reborn and have no weapons or anything at all. Plus ALONE —  It is really a suicidal mission.

I know it. I know it very well. I am not stupid. But — is there other choice I have now except for that?—

[Kai! There is still another choice left from the hatchling. After analyzing the surroundings, the system find another way for the hatchling to level up and get stronger without risking its life.]

I automatically lift my face in the midair after hearing the system said.

"T-Then, can you tell me what is it?"
