Becoming a magician in another world

"Yeah, my body hurts."

After three hours in the carriage, my body ached all over.

Sam raised his arms, straightened his back, and looked around.

There were people dressed as adventurers, and boys and girls who were thought to be students wearing the uniforms of a certain school.

Everyone stared, wanting to challenge the dungeon.

(Is this the dungeon of the Sky Kingdom?)

Although it's called a dungeon, it's probably the type that goes underground.

There was nothing like an entrance to be found.

Instead, several buildings can be seen.

I guessed that one of them must be the entrance to the dungeon.

"How is it? This is the starting dungeon."

"The starting dungeon?"

"Yes. The upper floors are for beginners. Adventurers are very happy because they inhabit weak but popular monsters that can provide good materials. Knights, magicians, and students of the academy can easily challenge them because they can accumulate experience."

"Wow"

"You don't even know that?"

"I have challenged dungeons before, but they were all in other countries. This is my first time in the Sky Kingdom."

"Yeah. Anyway, thanks to my sister, I'm safe, but Sister Ur is no longer here. I'll check how far you can go with your strength."

As she spoke, Erica unloaded the luggage from the carriage and put on her equipment.

Sam breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she and Liz went hunting without any preparation, Erica seemed to have made minimal preparations.

Since I knew that Liz's ability was hand-in-hand hate, I wasn't too worried.

But not Erica.

Since she can sense that kind of magic, she must be a very strong magician, but I don't know her actual strength.

I'm sorry for not being prepared to challenge a dungeon with Erica like that.

Although Sam himself had not made any preparations, he had inherited the item box from when he and Ur traveled around the world, so the props and food were well packed.

After hunting a few days ago, I checked my luggage very carefully, so I didn't feel uneasy.

However, if possible, I would like to investigate this dungeon carefully and challenge it after I am well prepared.

"Oh, by the way, Lady Erica."

"what"

"It doesn't matter if you challenge the dungeon now. What do you want to achieve in order to get my approval?"

"Yeah... The first floor for beginners is the fifteenth floor underground, so of course we should aim for lower levels."

"How deep?"

"I do not know"

“No one has arrived yet.”

A reacher is someone who reaches the deepest part of a dungeon, also known as a raider.

The first arrivals and raiders can get a high bounty by leaving their names in the organization that manages the dungeon.

Most importantly, you can win the respect of those around you.

Although there are many people who can conquer the dungeon, the number of people who can reach the deepest part first is even smaller than the number of dungeons.

There are dungeons that have not been explored yet, and there are dungeons that have not been found.

Many adventurers challenge dungeons in order to gain wealth and fame.

"Although the upper floors are for beginners, from the second half of the middle floor to the lower floor, even experienced adventurers can easily die if they are not careful. The danger level is very high."

"Wow"

That's really exciting.

Although Sam has challenged the dungeon many times, he wants to die every time.

It is worth mentioning that there is no unconquerable dungeon so far.

However, since each dungeon already has its initial arrival, it is ultimately a challenge with several strategies available.

Even so, there are dangers, but there are no raiders in this starting dungeon yet.

As an adventurer, there is nothing more exciting than this.

"I'm not forcing you to conquer the dungeon on purpose. However, I hope you can show your ability to at least reach the lower levels. Sister Ur seems to be taking a walk to the lower levels, so if you want to call yourself the heir, you should at least show me the same ability."

"Okay. That's what I hope for."

"Eh?"

"Come on, let's go! I'm excited!"

Erica opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at Sam's happy face.

"Wait, didn't you hear me? The dead in the lower areas also came out without hesitation!"

“Of course I heard about it. But isn’t that a dungeon? Very much looking forward to it!”

"Looking forward to it, huh?"

"Yes. I want to travel to the end of this world. The deepest part of the dungeon where no one has ever reached. Isn't it really something I want to see?"

"--Ah, that's what you said. I pray you mean more than just words."

In contrast to Sam's enthusiasm, Erica raised her eyebrows in boredom.

The two of them took steps forward to challenge the dungeon.
