Act 1: Chapter 3: Immortal Being, Lunaire

That headless human-shaped monster.... Predator was headed in my direction.

When he was right before me, that guy stood still.

「Kuh, KILL ME NO-..」

I looked straight at the predator as I said so.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

The predator kicked me and then stomped on my back with its foot.

「What the....」

This guy picked me up by my feet.

Then I realized.

This guy was about to rip my foot.

It was clear that this guy liked to toy around with its prey.

I shut my eyes as I made a desperate wish in my heart.

Please stop this guy, or give me a swift death.

Alas... My wish was but an empty wish as that guy twisted my knee towards an impossible angle.

I let out a loud scream.

I couldn’t even struggled since this guy had his foot pressed against my back.

「Help..... ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME! 」

When I tried to move my leg, the predator suddenly pressed its weight on me.

It felt like it was about to break my back.

Something red started gushing from my mouth.

Under such pain and fear, I let out a mute scream.

Right at that moment, a black light wrapped the area around me.

Though I’d expected it to be the predator..... I felt the predator raise its foot that was weighing on my back and then it started to hastily look around its surrounding.

「It’s been a while since I woke up from my sleep and yet.... This 《Cocytus》 is still filled with these ugly demons, huh.」

A white girl floated behind the predator.

She wore a strange white mantle, something that looked like characters, was printed on it in gold color.

Her white skin was so pale as if she has no blood running through her veins.

The tips of her white hair was the color of blood.

Her heterochromia pupil of blue on the right and crimson on the left was as cold as a frozen lake.

Her prominent features were her small mouth, bridge nose, and large eyes.

And more than anything else, her beautiful white-porcelain-like skin.

「I am not a human you see. Only a fool won’t notice such a fact despite standing before me. I am a lich, an existence who discarded their human life in exchange for eternal life. Please do not put me on the same level as those lowly humans.」

「M-My bad....」

I bowed to her.

.... Yup, that aura around her wasn’t a human aura.

She was an even more dangerous monster than the Gluttony Mimic and Predator combined together.

This might sound strange- she kept her ominous aura so that I wouldn’t doubt her remarks.

I waited for a while for that girl to do something... she didn’t say anything, even after some time had passed.

The atmosphere in this place was getting rather awkward.

I guess I’ve to say something first.

But then, she might kill me the moment I displease her .

Though I wanted to probe some of her inner thoughts from her expression, SHE WAS COMPLETELY EXPRESSIONLESS.

What should I do now that I am in an even more dangerous situation than before?

Somehow, even my breathing became ragged simply due to her aura of intimidation.

「U-Uhm... I might be too impudent for asking this but, can you help me?! At this rate, I....... most probably won’t live for long....! 」

I used that moment to bow my head deeply.

I mean, she even saved me a while ago.

I might be able to convince her if I asked wholeheartedly.

Rather, I had no other choice but to do this.

「Since you seem to misunderstand something, let me to tell you something.」

「Eh ......? 」

The girl swung her arm.

Her movement traced a long line on the crumbled wall behind me.

E-EEEH?

What did she just do?

「The reason why I live in this place is......... Because I hate humans who betrayed me.」

My sole hope was crushed by that girl’s remark.

「That’s why I.... Live in a place where humans can’t even hope to reach, on the 90th floor of 《Cocytus》.」

There goes my hope for leaving this dungeon.

Eh, Did she just say 90th floor? Could it be that the dude who made this dungeon was an idiot?

Though I might be able to do something if it’s just one or two floors, ninety floor was simply impossible.

Well it might be possible if there’s some sort of elevator in this place but, as if such convenient tools exist in such depths!
