I’m regretting it.

The place I’m brought to earlier is the city’s sewers, and the quest that I received is the removal of Wererats. It’s a mouse hunt.

There’s no problem in defeating them as the Wererats are around level 1~2. Rather, I should not be partaking in this quest when I consider my level. But since I got it, I enter the sewers in order to see it to the end properly.

However, I find out that the speed in getting rid of the Wererats is horrible because of the other players present in the sewers. I’m unable to fill up the quota for the Quest Clear.

To solve that problem, I start thinking of hunting deeper in the sewers where there won’t be as many people……

Even though I won’t get tired in the game, and receive nothing more than vibrations in the case of pain, but the sense of smell was completely replicated here.

It’s as if the sewers have been faithfully recreated and the smell is awful. I feel like I’m walking in poison and want to puke.

In any case, I move further in to finish the quest as soon as possible.

Even though there’s no light, I have the Map Window, and I feel it’s okay if I stick with Fleming’s left-hand rule and walk along the wall. I immediately realize it was an extremely naive idea. I know where my current position is and where the exit and entrances are because of the Map Window. It is why I am unable to imagine why that idea is naive.

The answer is simple.

There are obstacles in the area which are not displayed in the Map Window. The Map Window is just something like a rough map of the area, which is why it is not displaying the sewer rubbish in the vicinity.

Inevitably—

*Crash—*

I trip and fall because of the rubbish.

If there’s a light, I think there won’t be a problem in avoiding the rubbish, and I would be free from being painted with the underground sewer’s water.

I have no choice but to get up and proceed further in. Surely from now onwards I will still have to go adventuring in caves and dark spaces. A torch or lantern or some form of illuminating tool is needed.

I want to finish the quest quickly, so I move with a single thought to find a mouse.

After a while, I find myself at the limits of my tolerance as I come to a crossroad. I really need to breathe in fresh air, and not be in a place with a rotting smell like this.

I stop and think.

The quota to clear the quest has gone up as I hunted them along the way, and I need just a few more to clear it.

Should I go back to the entrance and hunt along the way— Hmm.

I decide to change my plan and return to the entrance instead. I can still endure this much…… But first I want to breathe in fresh air.

I logout while I think of that.

[Haaaah.]

I have revived. I take out Valgear and take in a deep breath. I had to log out as I am unable to bear with the sewer’s air. I glimpse at the time. I should finish the quest quickly.

I replenish myself with enough air and resolve myself to prepare myself and return to the sewers.

When I return to the sewers there are a few players nearby. One of them drops their light source, and it became dark.

I wonder what’s wrong, hmm.

While I ponder over their actions, I moved towards the entrance as my priority. However, I trip over the nearby trash and fall over with incredible force.

Darn it. I fell in such an embarrassing manner in front of other players, sheesh!

I hope they didn’t notice it in the darkness.

I feel something passing by over my head, but as much as I look at my Map Window, I didn’t see any monsters.

It’s probably my imagination.

I can’t stand this place anymore. I have to escape from this place as soon as possible. I run towards the entrance as soon as I get up.

The group of players is also running towards the entrance. Maybe they saw what happened to me and wanted to avoid a face-to-face contact.

I’m thankful for that, but I felt really ashamed and complicated inside my heart.

Well, let’s just get to the exit.

Along the way, I found a few Wererats and hunted them to clear the quota. I finally got a Quest Clear.

When I reach the entrance, there was a guy who looked like the Adventurer Guild’s staff member, and I reported that I completed the quest without any problems.

However, he apologizes to me for receiving the quest. As I thought, this was something unnatural. It’s most likely a bug for me to receive the quest.

I thought this was the Adventurer Guild’s staff member, but he seems to be a character operated from the management side to support the game. He’s probably the so-called GM (Game Master).

As an apology, I got more than a normal compensation. I feel like I have made a profit somehow.

…… Still, I feel like the people in the surroundings are in a fluster. I wonder if something happened.
