Act 1: Chapter 2: Wall of Gluttony

Act 1: Chapter 2: Wall of Gluttony

Inside the labyrinth that was covered in red blood-like splatter, I sat on the ground while leaning against the wall.

I have yet to digest the flow of events that led to this outcome.

According to that monster who insisted that he was the God’s slave, this place should be the worst dungeon of another world called Rookroa, 《Cocytus》.()

Instead of killing me, he sent me to this place for a tasteless show (though it’s even more disgusting to make a show of someone else’s life).

「.... It’s not like I can stop it. Let’s think of a way to get out of this place first...」

I told myself.

According to Nyarlhotep, this place was the home of the most dangerous monsters.

I couldn’t stay in this place for too long.

I don’t know if there’s an escape skill or not, but at least I wished to be spared from a horrifying death.

In the end, Nyarlhotep didn’t give me any special power at all.

But.... it seems that it’s mandatory that all those who were transported to another world must be given 《Rookroa Language Comprehension》, and 《Status Check》 skill.

These two skills could be useful.

《Rookroa Language Comprehension》 was, perhaps, the common language of this world.

Nyarlhotep had said that he(temp.) had sent many people from earth to this world for a show.

So giving those people language comprehension was a must, so as to allow them to communicate with the natives of the world.

... Moreover, he(temp.) had even told me that the setting was similar to those in the novels about a journey to another world. I had really gotten nothing special, aside from language comprehension.

As for 《Status Check》, let’s see....... It could be the ability to see another person’s and my own status.

I’ve read about this too in those transmigrated novels.

「......《Status Check》」

Let’s try to use it on me first.

I tried to confirm my own status as I prayed in my mind.

It felt like I could see something in my mind.

The act of confirming my own status felt as natural as moving my own limbs.

I felt something, like a terminal screen, appeared in my mind.

I-IT REALLY APPEARED!

Though I’m lacking on information since there’s no other target to compare with... Well, to me, this felt like the initial stage.

Though I doubted Nyarlhotep when he(temp.) told me about level, it did exist.

It was the thing about the rules of this world.

A huge mouth suddenly appeared from the dead end of the wall in front of me.

The mouth was moving, and then spit out the golden sword and the bones of my right arm which had turned black.

――My arm!

I used 《Status Check》 on it immediately.

The digits completely surpassed my expectations.

「AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! 」

Holding on to my bitten arm tightly, I ran while screaming as loud as possible.

「Thanks... For the treat.」

The inorganic voice of the Gluttony Mimic resounded in the passage.

I fell as soon as I turned the first corner.

I felt that I couldn’t run anymore, my body simply refused to move.

My heart was beating like crazy.

It felt it would leap out of my mouth.

I’m too naive. Rather, I was trying to run from reality by thinking that I was too naive.

Though this world bore some resemblance with a game world, this wasn’t a game.

Though I tried to be positive by tricking my own feelings and worries, it would be the end if I were to die in this place.

From the very beginning, I couldn’t survive in this place.

That was the kind of show presented to those GUYS.

While it might be true that there’s a little bit of amazing weaponry here and there, that wasn’t enough to kill those monsters.

「Aren’t I checkmated in this place from the very beginning? What kind of a shitty game is this...」

Oh whatever!

I at least want to die while lying face up on the floor.

「My bad, Kuromaru.... I’ve already....」

When I fell prostated on the floor..... I heard a loud sound of something approaching me.

I raised up my head.

There was the figure of a more than two metres tall headless man.

Its pale skin and physique made it seem like a wrestler.

On it’s abdomen was a huge mouth as if to replace it’s head.

I’d known even before coming to this place but.... here was basically the den of ultimate monsters.

This is the end for me for sure...

I’ve resolved to die in this place.
