Chapter 2: Plan?
I had encountered someone's corps which was baffling to me cause there was no way some one had actually died on the first floor. Unless perhaps betrayal had something to do with it all I had were speculation and the only indication was a stab wound on his chest and dried blood.
The only thing He had on him were dagger, water, and some rations at least that what it looked like. 'Taste dry but still something edible'. It turns out he wasn't betrayed, he still had his pouch of magic rocks that had 97. "My lucky day" I couldn't help but grin, But I didn't want to keep swallowing them so I tried again to absorb through magic.
With my newly learnt threads I attached it to a stone and tried sucking it through like a straw by reversing the flow again and to my surprise the stone disappeared resulting in a success. Proceeding to absorb them all I decided to continue take my time finding the exit for I still had mana to gather.
The excitement I felt for magic soon died down but I still couldn't help but smile as I created a thread from my finger about a two meters long. 'It doesn't take to much so what about adding fire to it'. Soon the thread was on fire except for where it was attached to my finger as I whipped it around careful not to burn myself.
Maybe I could do an actual fireball or maybe just use my little blowtorch finger method to make a flamethrower?
I began walking again, Seeing a stair case leading down giving me a thought. 'One more floor down could give me more'. After thinking for only a second i headed down. 'I'm surprised that i haven't ran into anybody yet, I wonder what time it is anyways?'.
Continuing further into the dungeon 15 monsters spawn only to be killed on the spot with a mana bullets that I could fire more often. 'Each mana bullet cost around 15 so if i make it into a fireball it might cost 25 to 40'. After absorbing the stones forgoing saving for now I created a ball the size of a tennis ball of fire and learned to waste as little as possible. 30 per ball with a small explosion of fire. Thankfully no monsters spawn when i was experimenting. I did see a white haired kid thought it might be the protag but I'm not going to follow don't want to deal with him for now.
Not even walking 10 feet monsters were coming from the walls and ground ready to come at me. 'More than the last floor but nothing has seemed to change' I thought to myself after observing them come rush me.
Testing the two new moves i launched a fireball in the middle of the group having caught 5 in the blast and 4 more with the fire that scattered around. Using the 2 meter long fire thread I whipped it around it now wrapped against one and already burning the monster as it turned to dust. Tossing another fireball it exploded against the further back ones killing 6 more leaving 13 more. Pointing finger guns to them and using mana bullets I shot them down practicing my aim for a moment then proceeding to pick up the stones and absorbing them.
I checked the mana bar again.
[452 Max Mana]
[2.76 Mana Regeneration]
'This is far better than i thought but like everyone i should strive for more' It only felt like its only been an hour maybe i shouldn't have judged that guy for dying there are a lot of them the further you go 'well no shit sherlock'. I chuckled at my own thoughts. Once again more monsters spawned in and this time I decided to whip them with the fire whip and shoot or kick any that got to close.
I wasn't really good at whipping so i settled for two guns as i continued to shoot down the rest.
[Plus 44 Max Mana]
[Plus .22 Mana Regeneration]
'Now that i think about it a full powered Mana bullet might just obliterate someone's cabbage stand'.
Deciding that it was time to save some stone just incase i went to the stair case from which i came and tried looking for the exit on the first floor. Of course i ran into more monsters that net me 56 more mana and .28 extra regen.
I turn a corner still trying to find the exit only to see a group of three one female and 2 male somewhat struggling to fight 8 monsters. It took me a moment to realize that i was stronger than the average person, Magic wise i knew that wasn't normal falna and what ever i had was completely different from my perspective.
Sighing i walk to them taking out half of the monsters and letting them finish the rest.
The leader as it would seem gave me a confused look my apparel far to strange for him causing the woman to talk first also eyeing me. "Thanks for helping us with that but we could have handled that".
"I'm pretty sure you three could have i just need answers first and i didn't want to wait". I said back tone even.
The leader regaining his composure started to speak with an almost irritated tone. "Well what is it"
'Damn angry already?' I couldn't help but think. "Yeah can you point me to the exit sorta got lost in here"
"Tch its over there numb nuts" the leader said while pointing his thumb back to where he came from "Just down there and to the right".
I nodded my head putting aside the thoughts set him ablaze and continued walking.
As soon as i left the third member patted the leader's shoulder "Don't you think he was dressed a bit strange?". This had the women agreeing now really thinking about it.
"its not our problem let the man dress how he wants". He responded as he got ready to attack against the next wave of monsters.
reaching the surface i was faced with stares and suspicion. 'I suppose wearing a red sweater and light blue pants with black tennis shoes is a bit weird. As i knew it i know nothing of this world i only watched the first season and that was years ago.
About to take a step I was promptly shoved aside by some brown haired guy.
"You better watch where you're going after all I'm with the Freya Familia' He shouted angrily and smugly before walking away.
'The Freya Familia huh well just for that I'm cucking her, better find bell'. I thought my self before wandering to what ever caught my interests.
