Because the golem was still not aware of our existence, two of us immediately planned to attack the golem. Silvie swiftly cast a spell, while I immediately rushed towards the golem and tied the golem with chains. Before the golem could even do anything, it froze with Silvie’s flames, and I immediately crushed it with chains that bound it.

After the golem was destroyed, the golem dropped a mana crystal. I picked it up and stored it in inventory. Monsters in dungeons sometimes drop items after they are defeated. This is what makes many adventurers want to explore dungeons because they can get a lot of treasure from here, but there is also a big risk if you want to explore it, especially in new dungeons or dungeons that have unexplored floors.

After the dungeon is conquered, the dungeon will seal monsters inside, so they won’t get out. This was why the village chief wanted this dungeon to be conquered immediately so that they would not worry about monsters in it. Because they appear by themselves, not much is known about dungeons. Some say they are relics from ancient times that have been lost for a long time. But either way, as long as they could obtain treasures from the dungeon, they didn’t need to think about it any further.

‘To be honest, I was actually confused by the main quest the system gave me, which was to save the world. Because while I was playing the game, I never met the final boss, even though there were many conflicts in the story. There is no disaster or anything that can destroy this world in-game. All stories in-game are about heroines slowly liking the protagonist,’

“Lute, what’s wrong?”

Silvie, who saw me pensive in my mind, called out to me curiously.

I smiled at her. “Nothing, I was just thinking about something.”

Whatever happens, I need to become strong as soon as possible. There must be a good reason why this world created a game that was then sent to my previous world. I can’t let my guard down. Bad things can happen at any time without my knowledge.

–PoV Elysia–

Lusi and Yua are currently fighting a giant wolf. We are in the boss’s room after exploring for quite a while. I fired a spell from my mirror at the giant wolf. The wolf looked angry and tried to attack me, but then the wolf was blocked by Lusi and Yua.

“Inferno Wave!!” Yua shouted.

A wave of red flames scorched Wolf’s body. Lusi then moved very quickly through Wolf’s chest with a hand that turned into a lance. The wolf stopped moving and fell to the ashes.

“Phew, it was an easy battle,” Yua said.

Lusi nodded, hearing that. I smiled, seeing two of them so optimistic. Not long after, there was a rumbling sound, and the gate opened to the next floor. There was a treasure box lying on the floor.

“There’s a treasure box there. Let’s check it out. ” Yua looked happy, walking towards the box.

When she opened it, inside the box was a potion bottle and a piece of paper. I took the paper and read it.

“Potion Spell, increases spell power by three times for those who drink it for five minutes.”

“It looks like it would be useful when used in an emergency. Let’s go to the next floor. I want to meet Lute soon, ” Yua said.

“Okay,”

I smiled and kept the potion. We then walked to the next floor. This is supposed to be on the 21st floor because I’ve counted the number of times we’ve taken stairs down. Dungeons always have boss rooms when they reach multiples of 10, and the previous room was on the 20th floor.

We were taught about this while at the academy. It was said that dungeons had a different number of floors than other dungeons. But the dungeons that had been discovered had at most 100 floors.

At the academy, we were also taught the weaknesses of monsters and how to fight certain monsters if we met them. Lute also helps us become stronger by giving us various items and potions. I actually wonder why she gave me that, even though we’ve only met since the exams and don’t have a close relationship like others.

‘D-does Lute like me too?’

My heart skipped a beat and my face turned red at the thought of this.

[Hihihi, what are you thinking right now, Elysia?] Elyse giggled in the mirror dimension.

I blushed even more when I heard Elyse tease me.

–PoV Natalia–

“Ugh, my head is so dizzy,”

I opened my eyes and saw Rey, who was giving me a lap pillow. When she saw that I was awake, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Rey felt worried after seeing Natalia faint, especially after using Strider, which was still in the testing phase. If something went wrong with Strider, it would be very dangerous for Natalia.

“Rey, how long have I been unconscious?”

“About two hours. You should be more worried about your body by now,” Rey said, with a slightly angry expression.

“I see. I’m sorry for that.” I smiled at her.

Rey couldn’t help but sigh. She already knew Natalia’s stubbornness, so she was quite used to this.

“After I tried Strider myself, I came to some conclusions while using it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, ” I said with a happy face.

“*Sigh* Lia, you’re always like this. Better recover yourself now,” Rey said.

“OK,”

I got up and took out a potion, then drank it. Rey then disappeared, back into me. Based on my experience with Strider, I think I need to make it use less power, but it has a big impact. It’s just stuff like that that I need to learn more about. For now, I think I’ll add mana reserves to Strider so that when I use it, I won’t faint afterward.

‘Maybe I should fuel up with mana potions or mana crystals? I’ll think about this later, ‘

I get very excited when I think of this.. I remember when I was a child, Grandpa was always happy with my nature, full of great curiosity when studying to become an engineer like him.
