“Of course. This is a huge record that no one has ever reached. Even though there are still the possibilities that other people will clear it too, you’re still the first achiever after all.

It’s been nearly ten years since the trial dungeon was made, but I didn’t expect that someone would clear the hidden boss in a day. That’s why I forgot that it existed, though.

Anyway, you will get some prizes if you clear the dungeon. This is the gorgeous version of it.”

Yeah, I also felt like I did something unusual. Such as eating the hidden boss.

“By the way, what can I get? Money?”

“You can also have money if you want, but the usual record update bonuses are orbs that can memorize skill, or slightly stronger weapons and armors.

Sometimes it’ll be the courtesy ticket to the facility, and there are some guys who wanted to fight me too, and I had to deal with them.

You can just say it, may it be things, rights, or skills. It shouldn’t be something that will hinder future growth or anything that exceeds my ability, though.

If you want to beat the nobles of the kingdom, I can do something about it. But I will have to consider it if you want to kill them.”

No, I surely had some complaints about their governances, but doing that was a little too much…

He said it lightly, but I didn’t like how it felt like he really would do something about it. They had great influence in the kingdom, okay.

Did he remember that this city was still a part of the kingdom?

“By hindering growth, you mean…”

“For example, I think the front line is on the 90th floor, but if you get the weapons they are using, you can instantly kill the low-leveled enemies, making it like power leveling.

I recommend everyone to capture the Infinite Corridor, so I want you to be the person who can still capture it up to the distant future.”

“I see.”

Speaking of which, I felt a sense of incongruity like a deja vu from a while ago, but this was similar to the God reincarnation that was common in different world reincarnation things, huh.

I didn’t die, but it was like God gave me a cheat ability to apologize for letting me die, or something like that?

The place was a 1K apartment so it felt a bit weird, but this was a place that normally wouldn’t be accessible. The relay point seemed to be a place where God resided anyway.

I didn’t think that this was that kind of case, but in then, what kind of options were available in those templates?

“How about [Appraisal] skill?”

I had acquired the [See Through] skill, but I could only see the HP and name of humans and monsters, excluding the items.

“Eh, why are you choosing something so plain and dull? I’m okay if you’re fine with that, but that skill is normally sold in the guild. When you became an [Adventurer], you can learn it naturally.”

“Eh, then forget that one… Er,,. how about [Item Box]? It seems like something that appears in those RPG games.”

Both Appraisal and Item Box were the templates of reincarnation to another world.

“That has a higher rank than [Appraisal], but you can still normally acquire it since you’re an adventurer.

…Perhaps, you are thinking from the template of transmigration to another world?”

He saw through me, huh.

“Yes. In the first place, I don’t know what skills are available.”

“I see. I guess that’s only natural. You just came to Labyrinth City today.

With that kind of template, there are many things like [Skill Stealing] other than physical strengthening, right? It’s pretty complicated with the system here.”

“By the way, what’s wrong with that skill stealing?”

“There is a skill with the same name in this city, but there are restrictions on the skills that you can steal and many conditions on using the skill. To say it simply, they’re inconvenient.

In the first place, if you just want to learn skills, you can buy it. Also, there are some guys who used those skills on monsters, so the people from the top ranks are making some countermeasures.”

I wasn’t going to learn it since it felt like it would tarnish my image, but it certainly didn’t seem like something that was very useful.

“Other than that, you can also shoot weapons from the item box or make weapons with images, but it’s useless unless you specialize it to a large extent.

The inspiration is also the super-specialized type. You’re not holding a lot of treasures or having a sacred sword scabbard with you, right?”

“I don’t have such a special background.”

It seemed like I wouldn’t be OP even if I just got a skill. He was basically saying that skills were something that was easy to reproduce as long as the person worked hard.

“Speaking of which, how about a gun? My partner can make gunpowder, you know.”

“You need a special license to handle it, but they’re normally sold in the city. The damage is almost fixed, so you can use it until the bottom of the Infinite Corridor.

But there’s not much skill related to them, and they’re expensive. Ammo is also expensive. I personally don’t recommend it.”

So there were guns here….

Guns couldn’t be used beyond the lower stages? Just what kind of superhumans were the adventurers here?

“Something like machine guns is also no good?”

“No, it’s not like they’re no good. Since the bullet speed is fast and you can fire it continuously, it’s unparalleled in the lower stages.

However, after you go beyond the lower stages, there are a lot of skills and class options. You can’t strengthen your skills, so you will be shunned.

It’s terrifying since we have Japanese common sense, but the bow is more damaging even if they cost the same.

It might be good for the general public to use it for self-defense, but the general public doesn’t need it in the first place. It’s hard to get a license too.”

Indeed, sometimes a sword can do more damage than a gun in those fantasy RPGs, so it’s the same case at this place too, huh.

I guess the situation was no longer related to the size of the caliber.

“The other templates are… magic, or sorcery?”

“Ohh, magic sounds good. I want to try using it.

Since the magic I could use that was kind of magical was just [Materialize]. [Power Slash] didn’t seem to use MP, so it was a sword technique rather than magic.

That [Starving Beast] also activated without my consent.

“It’s good to learn them for safety. But you better check your aptitude for magic properly.

The guild will inspect it for you, so I recommend learning in the direction of your specialty.”

“Can’t I use magic if I’m not talented?”

“That’s not it. It’s just that it’s better to learn in your specialty and organized direction. You might be good at attacking, or good at healing.

Adventurers who are in intermediate rank or above usually have learned the magic of their specialty.”

Speaking of which, the lizard old man used a lot of auxiliary magic.

Did that cat ears use something too?

“I see. Then it’s better to take that test first.

In the first place, I don’t know my base since I’m not sure what skills I have, so I also have to research that.”

“Well, it’s only been a day since you came to Labyrinth City. …Is it okay if I do a little [Appraisal] just for reference? I probably can give you some advice.”

“…Eh, sure.”

I didn’t really feel it when I was talking with him, but Dungeon Master would have this kind of skill, huh?

I didn’t think that I should refuse what people offered to me too.

I didn’t know if he had activated the skill, but he was staring at me silently. It felt awkward if he looked at me that intensely. I would be embarrassed, okay.

“…What’s this?”

“D-did something strange appear?”

“For you to have this kind of skill composition… just what kind of environment have you lived?”

Ah, was he talking about ‘that thing’?

“Umm, are you talking about [Primitive Man]?”

“No. I mean, I’m also curious about that, but… Ahh, I see. Only five of your skills are displayed in your card because you are a rookie, eh.
You will understand when you update your card, but I’ll read it out for you.”

After saying so, DM read my skills.

An incredible amount of skill was announced by the Dungeon Master.

“What?”

I also thought that I had more than five skills in addition to the skills I learned today, but I didn’t expect it to become that many…

I didn’t even know what some of it was used for just by listening to the name.
