“-Oh, if I only I had more power”

Amashiri Tenji was mourning his weakness in the face of death.

Leaning his back against an ink-colored rocky wall, Tenji breathed heavily.

There was a hole in his flank that was too big to cover with one hand, there wasn’t any point in covering a hole where blood is flowing out endlessly anyways.

On the flank that was bitten by the monster, a black flame-like fire was burning up, which was gradually, but surely eroding and weakening Tenji’s body.

Tenji had already lost the feeling of pain, and only the coldness of losing a large amount of blood remained. Therefore, he didn’t feel scared anymore, and only the regret for his weakness smouldered his heart.

There was a monster with red eyes overlooking such a dying Tenji.

It was a powerful monster that none of the professional explorers who dived into the dungeon would be able to defeat.

This Ochanomizu dungeon is a fourth-grade dungeon and it’s the second from the bottom in terms of difficulty.

It was supposed to be a dungeon that wasn’t that difficult, but this monster had a strength that wasn’t the same as the difficulty.

A beast type that walks on four legs and had three necks.

It’s jet-black fur sways like a flame all over its body, and behind the black fur are two red eyes overlooking the food.

Its characteristic was unquestionably the appearance of a first-class monster the [Black Cerberus].

(That red eye is definitely a feature of a first-grade monster, but … why are these monsters appearing in such fourth-grade dungeons … oh, it’s getting colder)

Tenji wondered why this happened as his field of vision began to blur.

I needed to make money for my sister.

I had to make money to eat rice.

To pay back the debt left by his stupid parents, he had to make many times and dozens of times more money than a person.

That’s why I started a part-time job as a luggage carrier, a dangerous but high-income dungeon position.

Originally, Tenji, a first-year high school student, is at the age to study hard. I’m at an age that didn’t need to do such a dangerous part-time job frequently, but there were many reasons stacked on each other.

But the result is this.

To die at the age of only sixteen, to come to lives without even being able to have a girlfriend.

-It was nothing but the worst.

(Why! Why did I have to be betrayed because I couldn’t fight! Why did I have to be sacrificed as a lizard’s tail and feed the monsters to buy time!)

Tenji complained in his heart, but he was slightly aware of the reason for the sacrifice.

It’s been exactly 2 weeks since I divided into this dungeon.

I, who couldn’t fight properly, was clearly a hindrance. He who couldn’t fight was just eating up the food.

They probably didn’t want me to consume the scarce food just because anyone could carry the luggage.

Given this urgent situation, everyone knew that Tenji is the most unnecessary being.

I wasn’t lucky.

On the second day after entering the dungeon, a “swell” that changed the structure inside the labyrinth suddenly occurred, and the way back was blocked by the wall of the dungeon.

So the raid leader decided to go through the dungeon to find an exit.

In such an imminent situation, Black Cerberus, a first-class monster that does not match the difficulty of the dungeon that appeared before the raid party.

The Black Cerberusthat is so famous that it even appears in junior high school textbooks.

It was impossible to fight with it unless it was a first-class explorer of the same grade. However, the highest-ranked explorer who participated in this raid was a second-class explorer.

It was unavoidable that it seemed best to sacrifice Tenji who couldn’t do anything even if he tried his best. This move increased the chances of the party’s survival the most.

That said, there was no convincing reason for Tenji.

“Don’t be silly! Don’t be silly! Don’t be silly!”

Tenji didn’t want to die in vain so he squeezed out his remaining power.

He started hitting the face of Black Cerberus in front of him over and over again so as not to extinguish the light inside him that was about to go out.

However, The Black Cerberus continued to chew on Tenji’s meat without even blinking.

A human fist who was just a high school student and hadn’t even acquired the [Calling], which is the gateway to the explorer, was just like a “noisy fly” for a first-class monster.

Tenji’s fist, which was thrown out again and again, gradually lost power.

At the same time that something called sensation was lost from the body, I finally realized that I couldn’t beat the enemy in front of me no matter how I struggled.

Tenji realizes that death is just around the corner and immediately regains his composure.

“If only I had a calling–“

(That way, I might have beaten this guy. I might have eaten meat without making my growing sister feel sick …. Yes, that king in the picture books is second to none. As long as you have the strength …)

Then, Tenji suddenly noticed.

“Wait … can I become stronger if I eat that eye?”

There was almost no power left in Tenji’s body.

Still, with the last power, Tenji looked at the eyes of the enemy chewing his flesh and laughed invincibly.

To distinguish the grade of a monster, that is, its strength, look at the color of your eyes.

Tenji was taught that way in high school.

Then why is the strength divided by the color of the eyes? Tenji has always had such a question, and when he asked the teacher one day after school, he got the following answer.

-It’s easy for “MP atoms” to gather in the eyes of monsters. It’s like the human heart. Just as blood flows into the heart, MP atoms flow intensively into the monster’s eyes. That’s why it’s said that the strength of monsters appears in its eyes. …… And no matter how strong the monster is, only its eyes are fragile. If you are desperate, try aiming for the eye. Well, if you have enough skill to shoot it accurately! It’s difficult because the monsters also know that their eyes are a weak point. By the way, this teacher has never tried it successfully!

The strength of the monster is determined by the concentration of “MP atoms”.

Tenji is not a match for the monster at all. What happens to humans if they ingest the eyes of the monster with the highest MP atom concentration? No one knows the result because it is a crazy experiment.

Human beings did not do it because they were scared that their bodies could not withstand the concentration and would burst from the inside.

It is an era when no one wants to do such a crazy human experiment.

However, the current Tenji was different.

At this time, Tenji was about to die, he lost self-control.

(I’m dying now. Now I’m in pain and scary-I don’t feel anything)

Tenji once ignited the flame in his heart that was about to disappear.

He squeezed the remaining power to the limit and put all the power into one arm.

However, for some reason, his arm didn’t work. Tenji’s arms had already been bitten by Black Cerberus.

Tenji didn’t even know where he was biting at.

Then–.

“I’ll eat it directly”

Suddenly, Tenji approached the Black Cerberus, who was eating himself calmly in front of him.

The movement was moderately weak and natural enough to be fascinating.

“Gloooooooo!?”

A eye of the Black Cerberus was bitten and cut off cleanly.

“Damn … This is terrible.”

Tenji pushed the round eye with his tongue, crushes the red-eye and pushed it into his throat.

The taste of the eye was like a rotten sweetfish.

“Glooooooo!!”

Black Cerberus finally realized that his eyes had been eaten, and kicked Tenji’s flank while roaring in anger.

Tenji, who was already weak, rolled on the ground many times and collided with the rocky wall of the dungeon with his back

“… Goho”

At the end of the shock, Tenji’s consciousness was dragged into the darkness.

………….

……………….

《We have confirmed the clearing of the special grade quest “Road to the Ten Kings”》

《 Searching for clearers-confirmed. Clearer Amashiro Tenji, one person in total》

《Granting Amashiro Tenji [Hell beast summoning]. –The calling could not be granted due to excessive damage》

《Special grade calling’s gift 1 is automatically consumed, repairing the damage. -Cannot be executed because there are angry monsters within 50m around》

《Automatically consumes the special grade calling’s gift No. 2 and eliminates surrounding monsters》

《Applying for a temporary summoning of the Shuten-doji-approved》

《Please execute the elimination of monsters immediately. 12 seconds left until the death of Amashiro Tenji…… 11 seconds …… 10 seconds ……》

At this time, Tenji’s consciousness remained faint.

Still, he could only hear someone talking, and he knew that there was something red in front of him.

In his fading view, there was someone standing in front of Tenji.

“… Kuhii … where is this?”

It was Shuten-doji who made a goofy voice that seemed to be drunk.

The voice was exercising one of the special calling’s gift that was originally supposed to be given to Tenji, and temporarily using the power of the future to summon this hell beast.

Shuten-doji’s eyes were pure white.

“Grawwwl”

Black Cerberus, who was watching the situation, screamed intimidatingly and its black hair stood at

However, Shuten-doji swallowed the content of the gourd he had in his hand without such a problem.

《Shuten-doji should immediately eliminate the monster》

“Kuhi … Ah?”

《Shuten-doji should immediately eliminate monsters. 7 seconds left >>

“Kuhi … Ah, I see. Is this the pattern that you borrowed the powered and summoned me? Yes, yes it’s fine if I kill the unsightly dog, right?”

《Shuten-doji should immediately eliminate monsters. 6 seconds left >>

“I know, I know so noising. I’m killing it okay?”

Shuten-doji exhaled as if it was troublesome.

At that moment, Black Cerberus jumped at Shuten-doji. While shaking the giant body, he tries to bite his neck by exposing its evil fangs.

However, Shuten-doji was gracefully looked at the scene.

“Kuhi … so annoying.”

“Grawwww … lll”

By the time he noticed, Shuten-doji did not show any particular force, and with a single-hand sword, he slashed Black Cerberus body in half vertically.

Black Cerberus finally realized that he was dead when he fell to the ground. Even at the moment of the attack, the first-class monster did not notice.

“Hey, let me go home already. I’ve already done my job. Before you interrupted, I was just having a good drink with Otakemaru in the mixed hell.”

《Confirmed the elimination of monsters. Shuten-doji will be returned to hell》

When the voice said so, a pale white gate appears at the feet of Shuten-doji. The gate was already half-opened, and there was a magma-like space of a red-black glowing oil film between the gates.

Shuten-doji sinks dignifiedly as if drowning in the oil film.

Apparently, this gate is connected to hell.

On his way home, Shuten-doji muttered at the dying Tenji.

“Lord of the future. Get stronger quickly, I’ve been waiting forever.”

Leaving that word, Shuten-doji disappeared from this dungeon. At the same time, the white gate closed, and it becomes mist in the air and evaporates.

In the empty dungeon, there was only the faint breathing sound of Tenji.

《Automatically consumes one of the special grade vocational gifts and repairs damage》

《–completed. It was judged that the body of Amashiro Tenji is perfect. 》

《We will grant the calling [Hell Beast Summon] to Amashiro Tenji》

《–completed》

The dungeon has calmed down again.

A human being with a factor of the king of hell was born here.

It will be long after the fact was known.

† † †

“……Mmm”

Tenji woke up.
