????Floor – Abyss (1)
He didn’t lose consciousness.
After loading, the floating consciousness finds its place.
I felt my feet touch the ground.
but darkness.
darkness without a single light.
It is different from the universe in which the element of darkness fills the empty space by perception.
It’s just darkness.
The depths of the abyss are called the Sorcerer’s Tomb.
Mana is very scarce here.
Fortunately, the remote location was good.
There seems to be no active monsters at all.
They need to be remedied before they can start working again.
First, I went looking for the scattered goblins and party members.
It wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad either.
As an incarnation, the main weapon of the goddess was not used. Uses that may have sequelae were excluded as much as possible.
To that end, he did not hand over control to the goddess.
In fact, there is nothing to use other than doping the ability.
As a result of making lights with magic and wandering around a bit, there are many survivors.
It seems that Goddess really poured all her power into it.
“Glory be in the face of chaos!”
Goblins found me and stiffened all over the place.
Only lives were saved, and all the ships were turned into ship-shaped wreckage.
Instead of using an official route such as [Expulsion], he fell into the abyss by hitting an artificial sudden death.
Survivors of this size were close to a miracle. It must have been a miracle because it was caused by God.
It is imagined that the suffering goddess is drooping on the throne, but there is no way to confirm it.
It is estimated that this place is an abyss of four orders of magnitude, and by that time, it is no different than a new realm of the abyss.
Ordinary deities who were exiled from the realm of the Great Deity cannot exercise their influence.
Goddess and Goddess of Nature.
No connection remains.
It means that the radio wave has entered an area outside the region.
Most exiles would then be in great trouble. Not to mention a priest, settings that rely heavily on faith have become commonplace.
The deep abyss is a land of perfect skill that cannot be eaten raw.
But of course, it doesn’t matter because our party has never sucked honey with its powers.
It was not difficult to reunite with the party members.
It seems that Goddess tried to fall as close as possible. Everyone was either losing consciousness in the vicinity or looking around.
I hope the god of the abyss doesn’t get angry with the subordinate gods.
Meanwhile, a skeleton hunter appeared.
I’m at a loss for words.
“Why are you undead?”
[It happened… … .]
After hearing about the situation, I had time to reflect.
No matter how complicated the situation, he did not pay attention to the safety of the party members.
Of course I didn’t tease.
A leader is such a being.
It should always be perfect.
Even if it was creepy on the inside, someone who could say that you knew you could overcome it.
I can’t break down.

Considering that Sudden Death was involved, a surprisingly large number of troops were still alive.
Arcana, which can be said to be the most important power, was also picked up because it was wandering in the nearby area.
Once she prayed.
The goddess could neither respond nor hear, or at least reap the faith, but she was truly reverent.
Then he came to me and knelt down and bowed his head.
There was also a colonel goblin wearing three star candy.
He introduced himself as the Chief of Staff of the 32nd Federal Fleet, the highest rank among survivors currently found.
It is, of course, trembling.
Except for him, every aspect was a legend itself.
It was a burdensome enough position for one colonel.
At my command, I quickly reorganized the command system of the surviving forces.
Meanwhile, Arcana tried to summon the Bone Dragon, but failed. It is said to be disconnected.
“There’s no way we weren’t sucked in together, so I’ll have to look for it inside. If I come into sight, I’ll be able to control it again.”
[All right.]
Even if there were unexpectedly many left, the size of the army was not large, about 300 men. The more injured, the fewer in reality.
With that number of people united under the faith, the speed of processing everything is terrifyingly fast.
In the process, the survivors of the Federation were swept away by an unprecedented disaster, but instead of losing their morale, they were crying tears of joy.
“Oh my God, the day will come when I will live and set foot in [the abyss]…!”
“Mother! I have achieved a dream that you could not achieve!”
The girl narrowed her eyes and slowly moved away from the goblins.
He soon clings to me and tells me.
“I’m afraid of them.”
“I’m scared too.”
You don’t have to tell the truth. It is true that the Throne of Chaos has an enemy in the [Abyss].
After all, it wasn’t that important now.
I fell into the abyss, and it wasn’t just party members with me.
There are a lot of troops that will become the Sioux.
There were enough people to lay the foundation for survival.

Day 2
The deep layers of [Abyss] are dark.
Of course, even if I wash my eyes and look for light, I can’t see it.
Even magic such as [suggestion] that sees through the darkness is useless.
The darkness here is not an ordinary darkness, but a living darkness.
The same darkness that I created against Shakma on the 12th floor.
Therefore, if you are deeply immersed in this, you will die.
It could be called mental asphyxiation.
sensory stimulation is required. And similar races, including goblins, have nothing but vision, no matter how different senses are developed.
Light is essential.
The wizards suffered.
Parts from rummaging through the wreckage of the ship were also helpful.
The magic furnace itself was in a state where all functions were stopped, but there were cases where the magic battery was unharmed.
Connected to the surviving light fixtures to bite the darkness.
The goblins who overcame the first day with faith alone were delighted even in the dim light.
The lights of the wizards only shone sporadically. Since there is no magic here, it cannot be restored.
It’s all about the power of the body and the power of the battery.
The light is extremely limited.
Of the 300 men, 100 were wounded.
Half of them lasted less than a day.
I was very busy. A brief funeral was also held as a high priest, and he had to conduct minor orders.
Even goblins who are soldiers have basic survival knowledge, but this is the abyss.
There were so many things I had to direct each and every one of them.
Meanwhile, reconnaissance also had to be carried out.
The vampire’s bat will also be disconnected from this place if it gets farther away.
You must jump on your own two feet.
In case of any unforeseen danger, I moved along with the girl.
The abyss is a difficult place for living things to live.
This does not mean that minerals are a good place to live.
The monsters that exist here are truly monsters.
It is a heterogeneous existence, a bizarre existence whose origin is unknown, let alone its identity.
The good news is that minimal behavioral patterns exist.
Even things that fall down due to sudden death do not reach this deep in the depths of the abyss.
Only more valuable objects sink to this depth, and monsters feed on them.
So, not long after the new substances have been pouring in, he probably hasn’t woken up from his dormancy yet.
Soon, the figure of a monster still sleeping appeared.
The girl covered her eyes and turned back.
And cleverly, he vomited silently.
I said it was okay to make a sound.
The girl began to shout without hesitation.
“Uh. I really hate it. Something like that.”
“It’s too late to cover your eyes because they have no presence. I’m sorry.”
“But it’s good to be alone like this.”
The girl says so with her eyes closed. I stroked her hair and looked at the shape in front of her.
Abominations, or abominations for short, do not have a fixed form.
It doesn’t mean it’s indefinite like a slime, it just means it’s randomly created and eaten.
What was in front of them now looked like a giant ball with dozens of human limbs.
However, his internal organs are exposed and he is wriggling.
“It’s good. It didn’t go very deep.”
“Are you there?”
“I’m guessing it’ll be around 3000 level? It’s similar to a dragon. Still, it’s a lot easier to deal with because he doesn’t have intelligence and can’t even use magic.
“…isn’t that level deep?”
“Now is the beginning of the four-digit level. At most, the early 1000s. The abyss has up to 9999 floors.”
“Uh…? Maybe we’ll go there later…”
“Go. The abyss is one of the [Main Dungeon].”
The girl turns pale.
“Are all the monsters here like that?”
“Well…….”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Judging by the system of the game days, a girl is a companion that cannot be taken to [Abyss].But in reality, there are ways to overcome it.
And if you don’t like it, there is a way to leave the girl alone.
As I explained that, the girl shook her head.
“Go, I’ll go. I’ll go anyway.”
“You don’t have to go through all the trials.”
“But you do that.”
“I?”
The girl still closed her eyes and put her arms around my waist.
And he speaks in an eloquent manner.
“The exiles said it was so, so they didn’t say anything, but I’m curious because I’m curious. May I ask?”
Come to think of it, this kid is a really good listener.
When a girl who shows overwhelming strength follows her like that, it feels like the other party members are naturally good at doing what they ask.
It’s the first car, so it’s questionable in many ways, but they seem to have endured it.
I told him to ask if there was anything he wanted to ask. At best, I thought I’d ask for your name.
It was a little different.
“Why are you trying to clear the labyrinth?”
“……Well?”
“You know. I heard that the other exiles are not as capable as you, no, even half of your uncle, but they enjoy the glory of wealth and honor in the kingdom while being ranked high ranks.”
“That’s true. Seniors who don’t become contenders or give up eventually classify themselves that way.”
I can answer that question.
But the girl hit the player.
“I know other challengers, too. Leveling up and getting stronger from it, death that doesn’t mean much, the game-like world. It’s perfect to be dull. That’s why I can remain as a challenger.”
achieve it right. Most challengers do. Those who aim for the fact of becoming stronger, or who challenge for the honor of being ahead of others.
And even if it’s not clear, there are thoughts about the wealth and glory that you can enjoy in the kingdom if you succeed in a tough challenge.
That was the answer I was trying to get.
The girl went one step further.
“I don’t think he wants that. He really only wants to clear. For other challengers, ashes are more important.”
The girl asked, still with her eyes closed.
This time, as if hesitating a bit.
“Why are you doing that?”
Why are you asking this here? It seemed that somehow I could understand. Now really nobody is looking at us.
In the original case, there is no God of nature who would be pounding and chewy in a situation like this.
Not to mention the Goddess who will giggle.
I answered… … .
It gave me an answer I had never given before.
“Because I’m a gamer.”
Do you need any more reason than that?
The game I used to wake up with while my nose was tingling became a reality, and suddenly it became so difficult that I couldn’t even get my hands on it.
I’ve always been serious about the game.
The girl was momentarily dazed, then crumpled her face and answered.
“I guess I’m really crazy. I’ve lost money because I’m serious.”
“I’m always serious? And I can’t live in a labyrinth without going crazy.”
“Then should I go crazy too?”
Well, I guess it’s fine without any effort.
When I said that, it was a long time ago.
