ISEKAI: CHEATER'S ADVENTURES IN A FANTASY WORLD
PROLOGUES
In a Dungeon, five people walked down a narrow passageway that could only be passed by one person.
They line up while keeping their distance from bumping into each other because it is too narrow, so sometimes they have to walk sideways in order to pass through.
After a while walking down the narrow passageway, they came to a larger hallway.
Its height is about 10 meters and its width is about 8 meters, making it easier for them to move more freely.
The hallway is not straight like a pipe, but there are many intersections and not even a few turns.
There are chunks of crystal that emit light with various colors, like jewelry attached to each side of the hallway.
They stopped for a moment.
What man in the front row turned to face the colleagues behind him, A Paladin man wearing a complete Silver Armor who acted as a leader in the team.
He looked at his colleagues for a moment, then –
"alright, same as always. We made a pre-set formation".
"good".
The four comrades simultaneously responded to the instructions of the leader, and began to form a formation 2 - 2 - 1.
Two Paladin Men with shields and swords took the leading position of acting as Tankers.
One of them was a leader who used Silver Armor, and the other was a big man with a blue Armor.
The other two people, a Warrior man and an Assassin woman took a position in the middle as executor.
They wore a light Armor that only covered a few parts of his body, the Warrior used a spear weapon, while the Assassin used a double sword.
They would switch places when the enemy attack was successfully broken the Tanker in front, then their turn gave the final attack.
The last is a witch girl (mage) plays as a supporter in the back row.
He helps long-range attacks to slash enemies that can not be reached by his partner in front, as well as being in charge of healing and giving Buff effects.
After occupying their respective positions, they continued their journey to steal the hallway.
"captain..! where did you get this map of the Dungeon?"
The warior asked the leader up ahead.
It turned out that the leader was called the captain by his colleagues.
"eeehh. I told you in that meeting".
kaptem answered while twitching his brows.
"was it discussed earlier?".
"....hhhhmmm".
the captain snorted exasperatedly at the Warrior's question, then advised.
"that's why if people explain, they hear it well".
"sorry - sorry..".
"................"
"so...who gave me the map?".
Not getting an answer from the captain, the Warrior once again repeated his question.
"i got it from someone who claimed to have reached the bottom floor. He said his team was defeated before reaching the last Boss".
"that's it captain. great too they can get to the last floor. This Dungeon was only discovered yesterday. They must have been 80 and above".
"right.. if their level is below it with the difficulty level of Dungeon Rank S like this, then it is not easy to get to the bottom floor in just one day. Normally if the Player has a level of 50 and below, it takes days to complete each floor.".
"then.how much did he ask you, captain?"
"no. He gave it away - just".
"what?.. which is true...! which fool would give it away for free!"
The Warrior was stunned as if he could not believe what he heard.
"this actually exists".
the captain pointed a finger at the map floating in front of him while glancing at the Warrior behind.
"i don't think, why would he easily give her such a hard-earned map without asking for anything in return. I suspect, this must be a trap".
"just wear it.."
Assassin beside him chimed in the words Warrior slowly.
But the Warrior heard what his partner said, which infuriated him.
"did you say....?"
"what the hell..? I didn't say anything - what..!"
The Assassin responded to the Warrior's protest indifferently while still looking ahead.
"don't pretend to be stupid..!"
"who did you say was stupid?"
The warrior began to lift his spear, and the Assassin placed a hand on the sword he was holding at his waist.
Each is ready to launch an attack.
"stop it. stop you two..".
"...........".
The captain rebuked firmly the two of them.
Only the Captain, the other fellow who was watching smiled wryly as if to say "already can".
They understand well with these two partners.
Wherever they are when gathered together will always be in conflict.
Like dogs and cats, never get along.
the captain continued.
"you two better focus. We don't know when the monsters will attack".
"kinkk...."
"huohhhhh.."
The two of them turned their eyes to each other and went back to silence.
They are aware that making a fuss over this will break down the concentration in the team.
And it would be detrimental if there was a sudden attack launched by the Monsters inhabiting this Dungeon. But-but
"strangely, we've gone too far but there's not a single Monster we've met".
The witch in the back row felt that something was wrong.
"maybe this is a bug..?"
"impossible. This game is equipped with a more advanced system. Less likely to experience a bug".
The witch answered the Warrior's question.
"then why aren't there any monsters?"
"i don't know either".
"is it possible that someone entered before us?"
"that's not possible. The entrance gate of the Dungeon would not open if there were still people inside".
"why isn't it what the monster is?"
"how do I know.! Hhuhhhhhhhhh".
The Magician seemed annoyed with every attack of question the Warrior was making.
A question that is definitely in the know-i answer, but still questioned.
Like fishing in a swimming pool.
"in any case, we have to keep going to make sure what's going on here".
The captain chimed in on the conversation of the two of them.
It was true, there was something strange about this Dungeon.
There was not a single sign - a sign of the Monster's presence.
Sepi, there are only five of them.
Every now and then they passed through the Monster's lair, but there wasn't a single one there.
Where'd everyone go?.
None of them could answer.
Based on the experience they had during exploring the Dungeon, a five or six meter series would already have Monsters intercepting.
It had been an hour since they had walked through the Dungeon.
Pass through several intersections and enter places that usually become a nest of Monster herds.
Down the stairs leading down towards the next floor.
And now they're on the last floor.
Still, until this far no monsters found along the way and there is no trap that inhibits them.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They were at the door leading to the last boss's room.
The door was split into two with a very large size even its height almost touched the sky - the cave sky.
Yellow to gold color and very elegant carving.
There are carved lion heads on the left and right sides of the door.
"so finally there's not a single monster we find".
The warrior started the conversation with a look of annoyance.
"really so. I wonder, is there no monster boss behind this door either?"
Assasin chimed in while holding his chin.
"when it is. Sia - we've been here for nothing"
"..........."
Everything was silent, no one responded to what the Warrior was holding.
It was a moment of silence until the witch muttered in an interesting statement.
" Baychimo Dungeon..."
All eyes looked at him.
Long enough for him to realize that his colleagues were watching, he continued with a question.
"have you ever heard of a rumor about the Baychimo Dungeon?"
"no. I've never heard of it".
The captain replied in the follow-up with the trunks of the other comrades.
"what about the legend of the ghost ship Baychimo?".
The witch's question was addressed to the captain.
The captain closed his eyes and crossed his arms while thinking.
then –
"aaahhh, I do not know the details, if not wrong the ship was found after years of unmanned sailing. Didn't we?"
"right. I've heard this from a friend, that there are people who have experienced something similar. Dungeon without monsters. They called it the Baychimo Dungeon".
"What happened to them in that Dungeon?"
Hearing the explanation from the Witch, the Warrior asked a question curiously.
"they entered the room of the Monster Boss but there wasn't a single Monster inside, but they found something!".
"what did they find?".
"a player, just one person".
"what....? no. no. it's impossible. How can there be other players besides us here. And also if there is another Palyer even if it is alone, the entrance gate will not open".
"but that's the kind of rumor I hear".
The warrior raised an objection, but the witch responded flatly.
the Warrior continued.
"it still can't be trusted. It was possible that they had mistakenly thought, that the Player he saw turned out to be the Boss of the Monster itself".
"i'm sure they didn't see it wrong. He's not an NPC as we know him. He spoke, He communicated first before slaughtering them all".
"slaughter everything you said!".
The eyes of his three comrades were wide open to hear the witch's explanation.
As if to say "impossible".
Likewise with the Warrior who had been talking to him since, without anyone participating in the conversation between the two of them.
But the witch only replied with an expressionless nod on her face, saying–
"that's how I heard it".
"we have to go inside to confirm the truth".
That's the closing sentence conveyed by the large-bodied Paladin.
They re-formed their original formation and rushed towards the gigantic door in front of him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arriving at the door, the captain pushed the right side of the door slowly - the ground.
And opened the door with the sound of 'GEEERRSS', because the bottom of the door swiped directly with the floor.
In the room.
The atmosphere was pitch-black, Not a single light was produced by the crystals like before.
None of them had the ability to see in the dark.
There was only a faint light behind coming from the gap of the door that was still open.
But suddenly, the loud clashing sound from behind made them all flinch.
'GUUAARR....'.
They turned around to see what was happening.
Apparently, the door that was still open is now tightly closed.
There is no way out, no way back.
A few moments after the impact sound, one by one the blue light lit up from the edge of the room.
The blue-colored flame slowly - the burning ground grew larger.
The room that was dark is now clearly visible.
A room that was three times wider than the previous hallway.
There was a torch stuck on the wall and neatly arranged with a distance of about one meter between the others.
The room is rectangular, there is no stone or object in the middle of the room.
Field and empty.
They mounted horses, wielded weapons and sharpened all senses preparing for the impending attack.
But...., there is not a single sign - a sign of the existence of the Monster.
Empty, the room is completely empty.
Aahh not really.
There were several steps in front of him and two torches with blue flames on the left and right sides.
On the stage, someone was sitting on a majestic chair with one hand holding his chin.
Her hair was white and she wore clothes covered in black robes.
All-black, no other colors and no armor covering his body.
"yyoo. I got tired of waiting.! ".
"..................."
Their bodies stiffened, none of them moved.
They just stared at the confused figure of the man.
Their minds started to mess up because only this time they had such a confusing event.
"heellooo..... did you hear?".
"..............."
They're still quiet.
No one wants to answer that person's question.
Of course, this is weird.
How could Monster Bosses or NPCs talk to them.
"is my voice too slow.!."
The man muttered to himself while holding his chin.
then attach both hands to the mouth and bend it to form an oval.
Followed by a scream that echoed throughout the room.
"HHAAALLLOOOOOOO'S CHAT..... DID YOU GUYS HEAR...!".
"....aaahhhh".
The loud voice managed to restore their consciousness.
The five of them started moving their bodies and exchanged glances with each other.
Now, the doubts about the Baychimo Dungeon rumors they had just learned of were gone.
The figure that sits haughtily like a king on a phallus is the proof.
"who areyou?. What are you doing with this Dungeon?".
The captain asked a question.
The expression of cheerfulness was evident from the face of the black-clothed man.
"eehheemmm. eehheemmm. I thank you very deeply for accepting my invitation".
"invitation?"
The captain glanced towards his comrades behind one by one, and only got the trunks from them.
"yes. invitation. Didn't I give it to you?"
"i didn't accept any invitation!".
"have you forgotten me yet..? I've given you the map you used to come all the way here".
"so that guy was you,?".
"yes. it's me, I'm disguised using another character".
The black-clothed man nodded deeply, while responding to the question the captain asked.
"why are you doing all this...? is this a trap...!".
"aaahhh. There is absolutely no intention to trap you".
"what is your purpose?"
"i just want to have fun with you guys".
Every answer from the black-clothed man was accompanied by a simple smile, making the Warrior who had been silent just listening to his conversation with the Captain growled.
"don't joke. Do you want to play with us..?"
Warrior who had been ignited by emotion snapped loudly, to make his other partner jerked.
"no. no. No. I told you, I just want to have fun with you guys. Eehhh... have fun!. play - play!. Where is the difference..?"
He tilted his head while looking up, puzzled by his own words.
Warriors were no longer able to stem their emotions.
He gripped the spear tightly with both hands and prepared to take a shake.
But before he jumped forward the magical girl had already recited the attack spell.
"[Giant Fireball]"
An enormous fireball shot out very quickly towards the stage where the black-clothed man was located.
The fireball exploded after hitting his body.
'BBOOOOMMMMM'S'
Plumes of black smoke and dust covered the stage, as a result of the impact of the explosion were quite large.
"what are you doing?".
The captain frowned while asking the witch.
"i'm just a little upset".
The witch answered indifferently, turning her face while cross-sectioning and puffing her cheeks.
The black smoke has started to fade. And-and
"hhhiiiiaaahhh. It's almost....!"
Their eyes are wide. Especially the witch.
"As far as possible, the HP the man had did not decrease in the slightest. It was a high-level type of magic. Even the consumption of which is not small. Did he avoid it?. No. I clearly - clearly saw my magic hit it. But why..., no effect at all".
The witch did not say in her heart, but because it was so slow that no one heard it.
The HP of a Player can be viewed by other players.
The HP is a red rectangle floating above the head.
Slightly transparent but can still be seen even with dim lighting.
They froze again, but in a more alert position.
The black-clothed man started walking down from the stage.
After reaching the ground, he stopped his steps.
The man did not hold any weapons.
No swords, no shields, not even sticks.
But looking at his appearance wearing a long robe covering his body, it could be ascertained that it was the hallmark of a magician.
He stood there, with his second-hand pose inserted into his pants pocket.
Then back to talking.
"it's too soon, I haven't even introduced myself yet.what if we get acquainted first".
The black witch returned to grin.
Then continue the sentence.
"can you introduce the name ka"
"Grraaa...."
Before the black magician finished his words, the Warrior leaped at the speed of the wind towards him.
In just less than a second the Warrior had already reached one step in front of him and gave an attack towards the stomach.
But before the attack arrived, the black magician managed to dodge it.
Another attack came from above and again - again he dodged with a slight retreat back.
The third attack, a combination attack in the form of a faster prick rained down on his body.
But he calmly dodged all of those attacks.
In the final attack, the Warrior aimed its attack at the shoulder in a fairly high jump.
The black magician broke the attack just by flanking the tip of the spear's eyes with both of his fingers.
The Warrior movement stopped.
"aaarrrggghhh...."
The clasp was so strong that the Warrior of the company pulled out his spear.
He also launched an attack using his feet.
But still the black magician managed to resist the attack and caught the Warrior's leg with his other hand.
This time, the Warrior stood on only one leg.
"aarrgghhhh.. release!".
" .......Okay".
The black magician responded with a smile.
He released his grip and the Warrior was freed.
Unwilling to waste any chance, the Warrior once again launched his attack.
But before the attack took place his body bounced into the air and was thrown backwards.
His body was caught by a large Paladin like a keeper catching a ball.
They also fell a few meters back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The captain was only astonished by what he witnessed.
" a..what did k..you just do..?".
The captain asked in a trembling voice.
"i just hit him. Don't you see?".
"i didn't see you move in the slightest when you finished taking your grip off her...".
"aaahhh. I seem to be too fast that you don't see it. humm".
The black magician casually answered the Captain's question by scaling and holding his chin one-handed, while nodding his head.
The captain can't say anything else.
He just frowned as if to say 'I don't believe that'.
The large-bodied paladin, extended his hand at the Warrior.
"you can still fight..?".
The Warrior welcomed his hand as he said –
"i can still....".
The big bodied paladin petrified Warrior standing.
As a result of the attack he received, the Warrior lost half of its current HP.
"please heal him".
"good".
After responding to the request of the large-bodied Paladin, the witch immediately recited a healing spell.
"[Healing]".
HP Warrior increased by only 10%.
Magicians do not use 'super healing' which can recover HP up to 100%.
Because he wanted to save his mana usage which was currently only 60% left%.
"he's not normal".
The Warrior announced his conclusion from his fight earlier.
And the captain responded enthusiastically.
"what do you mean abnormal?".
"his "movement and strength were simply absurd. And look, he's just a Mage. It was impossible to have such physical strength".
"isn't it natural that the level has reached 90 or more?".
" no. Even if he had reached the level of a hundred, he would not be as fast and strong. It's totally unnatural"
"so you mean?".
"as it were - would be, all the status points he had were at the MAX level".
Captain silent.
He stared blankly ahead.
He was trying to digest the situation they were currently facing.
Then Assassin took the talk.
"all the statuses you said?".
The warrior nodded slowly.
"it is impossible for there to be anyone who can maximize all his status points. Even Player with level 100".
"maybe"
The captain chimed in on Assassin's conversation, as if he had come to a conclusion.
"How can I?".
Assassin still couldn't believe it.
How is it possible, a Player can increase all his Point status in MAX condition.
Even pro players with level 100.
Because each character is only given a limited Point to raise the Point status.
If you have ever played RPG games, you must understand this system.
If not, it may be as simple as possible.
Suppose you're allotted 100 points.
You must use the Point to increase the Point status as follows;
STR (Strength) \= 1/100, 2. VIT (Vitality) \= 1/100, 3. DEX (Dexterity) \= 1/100.
When we input the point according to our wishes to be balanced between strength, defense, agility and so on.
Kira - kira will be like this;
STR (Strength) \= 35/100, 2. VIT (Vitality) \= 35/100, 3. DEX (Dexterity) \= 30/100.
This is just an example.
We can see that it is impossible to reach Point 100 status. Except - except
captain is sure.
"with CHEAT".
