3rd Floor – Lv.18 Gamers (2)
Once decided, the forest theme will be maintained until the boss battle on the 5th floor is cleared.
However, what kind of forest it is always changes from time to time, and just because it has the same theme doesn’t mean it keeps coming out.
The third floor is a subtropical jungle.
There are many trees, many animals, and many insects.
In terms of good or bad, among forest themes, it belongs to the bang.
The beasts of the jungle are ferocious with little to eat, and the land is unsuitable for agriculture as it supports numerous vegetation.
Bad land for settlement.
Of course, if Sudden Death is at stake, it cannot be settled in the first place.
The problem is that there is no way to check that.
Refugees who do not have the will to go to the next floor often live on the third floor praying.
I hope that one day, a layer not subject to sudden death will appear on the third floor.
It’s already been a month, and everyone is slowly seeing hope.
If you think about it, it is very rare that there is no sudden death on an even-numbered floor.
As a result, not everyone catches the fairy trap.
We hunters are more veterans than they seem.
Was it like this in a fairy village on the 24th floor? Even though we can’t be sure how many layers exist until the kingdom is always different.
Maybe a little bit further, the gates of the kingdom may have been waiting.
I never told the hunter this.
Few exiles tell the ensnared that your time is worthless.
I can also understand
However, to say that life was vain is because there is no big difference in the lives of those who challenge themselves.
The labyrinth is an empty place.

The girl and the hunter left their party leader and stayed in the camp.
I had to take a break.
The spring water of recovery that had been filled was consumed as drinking water from the abyss, but it had no effect of replenishing stamina from the beginning.
The hut allotted was one of the most intact even in a large camp.
It’s so wonderful that it reminds me of a forest keeper’s hut, unlike other places that only have a roof.
“Are you going to be back soon?”
The girl hums and says:
How happy it was to see the sunlight. The monsters of the abyss usually looked terrified of appearing in their dreams.
Before coming to the labyrinth, before going to school, the girl almost remembered her childhood.
I didn’t want to.
How much effort did you put into hiding the shadows of the past?
The girl stopped thinking and turned her head.
The hunter is sitting beside him. Older, middle-aged Americans would often show off their flair.
longing eyes.
What lies beyond that gloomy gaze?
home in california?
A fairy village on the 24th floor?
Where is the hunter’s hometown?
The girl imagined how she would feel if she became like that.
Uh huh in a cozy forest with my uncle.
oh. For a moment, too much happiness turns around. Let’s stop this too.
I’m just having such a relaxing time.
“miss.”
The hunter quietly called the girl.
That title was decided by the hunter after much deliberation.
Most hunters are instructed by the case uncle and only ask the uncle.
So is the girl.
It was awkward for the two of us to remain alone in the absence of the uncle.
Even the name is awkward and unfamiliar.
Still, he’s a decent person. also a good person
I decided to treat you with a smile.
I look forward to seeing you with a confident smile.
“why?”
The hunter stares intently.
“Honestly, how old are you?”
The girl hardened with a smile on her face.
I heard it

Let’s explore what we can.
The camp on the third floor, arriving a little late in any world, reminds me of a refugee camp.
They may not have been driven by war, but all the people here have unhappy faces.
About thirty people?
When we go to the female archer, he expresses displeasure.
“I’d rather go downstairs. It’s not easy to take care of the people here.”
It may be cruel to say, but most people have to die to get help from other people in another place.
There are still people who don’t even know what the labyrinth is.
Sometimes they get in the way, and there are even guys who slaughter them with experience.
It’s too harsh to pay for entering this place just by chance.
“By the way, you’re all making a living with your party and a few other casual guys?”
“The vegetation itself is more abundant than I thought. It’s been about a month, but the limit is coming.”
Too good for a 9 year old.
Nevertheless, it is also certain that he has the ability. The camp of a small size is clearly controlled without a cluttered atmosphere.
Although they say this, there are surprisingly many such exiles who have not completed their ten years.
They are people who want to altruistically use the power given to them by Labyrinth with extraordinary adaptability.
Of course, that’s not all.
Rather than being willing to help out the unique looks of my juniors.
“What are you hiding?”
asked a question
“Oh, really. Is this the 15th year?”
The female archer smiles bitterly.
“No, I usually know. As soon as I arrive, I check my skills first and foremost. I secretly tell you everything I’m having trouble with. You’re asking for help too blatantly.”
“It’s too much tea. I’ll reflect on it.”
good luck Right now, he’s on the side of justice, but he’s the type of person who can move forward easily if he changes his mind a little.
Excuses, not excuses, begin.
“How do you know how to do it well since it’s an Assassin class…”
“If there was a battle, they would have somehow intervened and tried to catch them all.”
experience and equipment. You know I spent a lot of time on the second floor.
Then it means that there was something great on the second floor of our party, and it’s easy to guess that we have something awesome now.
Shrimp aiming to fight whales.
give me some advice
“Be a little more vigilant from now on. That way you will be deceived. But after that, you were going to catch all those refugees, didn’t you?”
“No, it’s still a bit…”
Wait, is this crazy?
‘Not yet?’
I wonder if it would be better to shiver hypocrisy. A prepared exile who never needs to change his mind.
It’s a remark that would be upsetting if the refugees found out, but I’m saying I’m an older person.
As the archer thought, I just smiled and moved on.
“Yeah, whatever you want, I’ll clean up the guys who took over the stairs. Don’t interfere.”
The answer came after some thought.
“Okay. But do I really need help?”
“Whatever you get, I won’t give it to you. Let’s move after we’ve completely passed.”
I am fair in this respect.
The archer gave up completely.
I don’t feel like doing any tricks anymore.
I smiled and handed him an arrow from the hunter.
“This······?”
“It’s a present. You know when I say [Lightning Guided Arrow]?”
“It’s amazing. How did it come from the second floor?”
In fact, it was picked up from the abyss. There were a lot of things that could be obtained on the second floor, but in the end, nothing was saved.
This is all because of Twit. why are you out there
“If only I had a dog high school.”
Even if you cut it there, it will continue naturally.
“It’s a labyrinth that there are enough rewards. Haha.”
As he left, he purposely showed a bare bow on his back. It is one of the few intact equipment found in the abyss.
And arrows of various colors inserted into the quiver.
As soon as you find out, as soon as you know, if you don’t know, your ambitions will fade.
Because I casually hold the dual-class angle.
The armed demonstration was done before. Now protest with equipment.
do it in moderation If you do, you die painfully.
“Can’t we just kill them all?”
The goddess of chaos speaks.
‘I’ve done that before, but I think there might be a shortage of people later.’
“Hey, surprisingly, the experience gained by killing people isn’t that important.”
The experience given by the Exile does not increase significantly as the opponent becomes a higher level.
In the beginning, killing one or two people is not a big deal, and it is very salty, but as you go on, you have to kill more people.
The problem is that it’s easy to do as you see the refugees here now.
It is common for people to cross the line because they are not used to killing in that way.
There is no one without blood. However, the extent to which the blood is applied is also quite important.
‘Did the Goddess catch a lot of people too?’
“I didn’t know then. Even after abandoning humans, some still appear in my dreams. I don’t even know who he is, let alone his name.”
‘So do i.’
I am not like justice. never did that
I’m just someone who’s been struggling for a while.
He is one of those people who have to be called a god in a grandiose way.
Coincidentally, in the labyrinth, there was neither a god of justice nor a suffix of ‘justice’ attached to a god.

Upon returning, the atmosphere between the girl and the hunter is strange.
The two of them were a little awkward at first, but what happened?
“I’ve only talked about it. How about some more rest? I think I’ll be fine for a day or so.”
If you were alone, even if you speedrun, you did it earlier. However, there are newbies who have decided to raise them from the beginning, so you should take it easy.
It was fine on the second floor, but from the abyss it was clearly visible.
I had to go straight to the 3rd floor.
The 4th floor may cause another uproar as the existence itself attracts strange things.
If you rest, you must rest on odd floors.
The girl answered with a little spirit.
“I’ll rest a little longer.”
“Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the sunlight. Then stay here.”
He glanced at the hunter and nodded.
two more
“Let’s start reconnaissance from the fountain of recovery. If we can’t secure it, it’ll be the next world in an instant.”
The reason these parties are not able to attack quickly is probably because they are occupied.
Healing potions are too cheap.
I went outside and it became a distance that the girl wouldn’t be able to hear, and then I asked.
“Did you notice?”
“Yeah, isn’t it harder not to know?”
The hunter covers it with his hand as if the sun is dazzling.
“Are you… a fixed NPC?”
Maybe you asked yourself. The girl just told the truth.
A gangster of stats for the first time, bizarre.
It’s okay to think like that.
I think probably not.
I’m not sure either.
’cause I didn’t know
If I only see native NPCs or other exiles, I tend to firmly believe that I am a ‘human’.
So, how can you doubt that?
Living a life of confusion as to whether or not he is an NPC is common to all exiles.
If you don’t think of it as a game like me, the first reason you doubt it is usually when you find out about a ‘named fixed NPC’.
Whenever they meet in any world, they appear with the same memories of the same episode.
For real people, their time is fixed.
For example, King Arthur has the same appearance and the same abilities no matter which world he meets.
And he is always a 33-year exile.
Count dirty there
If you look at it from the side, no matter who you look at, it is an NPC that comes out with the setting of an exile.
never considered a person.
The existence of such fixed NPCs already creates a sense of incongruity in the corner of my heart.
Eventually, doubts will arise. who is a person Am I really a person?
The hunter asked if the girl was like that.
I am at once.
“No. That’s not it.”
answered.
Because I wish it wasn’t.
I think it would be very bad if I saw the girl again in another episode and followed me with the same face and personality.
It looks like you’ve already given up.
However, there is a way to check it right now.
‘You’re confused. Have you ever seen that girl?’
“no.”
‘At the end of 100 years, what was the experience of something strange?’
“I don’t know. What do you want to ask?”
In this case, it is quite reassuring.
After all, these bastards are all NPCs.
I am the protagonist
that only I am special
’cause you can believe it
