It has been a week since being sent here in the world of danmachi.

What I have been doing for the week was me testing out and training with my alchemy in combat situations with Fels, studying and memorizing the dungeon and the monsters of each floors capabilities, and getting supplies that will grant me access to flame alchemy and other alchemy that requires materials to use or just to make my own personal armour and gear.

I've also decided to make philosopher stones and use them in the dungeon or combat situations since my curse of slow growth will not allow me to fight strong opponents. Oh, by the way, when I told Fels about me making a philosopher stone he freaked and snapped at me, I later calmed him down and explained that the philosopher stone I'm making is virtually different that the one he told me and I'm only making it to help me in situations when I'm fighting opponents out of my league.

Now, you may be wondering what I'm doing now. Currently, I'm in the dungeon in floor four hunting down monster for their cores for the philosopher stone I'm making and also to get some experience in fighting real opponents. I'm currently wearing light armour that won't hinder my mobility and speed to much but the armour is strong since I personally mixed it with material that will allow it to take direct hits from strong monsters that I would be clobbered by.

The armour and gear I'm wearing right now consist of a chestplate, strong, light and slightly chunky metal arm guards that I can transmute as blades like Ed, metal leg guards that protected to my knees, boots that had a metal piece that protects my shins, gloves that are made to cause sparks when I snap my fingers, a black shirt and pants, and finally a dark blue coat that resembles Edward Elric's coat minus the logo on the back and that the coat is actually armour.

Now you maybe wondering how is a coat armour?

Well, underneath the coat is something called graphene, a carbon based sheet that is completely made out of locked carbon crystals that exist as one molecule and is very stretchable and it can be strong enough to block bullets when I put layers on top of layers of graphene on each other and is it also extremely light to the point I don't even feel it's weight. 

Now, you maybe wondering how I got the idea to do this?

How I got the idea to do this is actually from a guy who makes videos that are about science, math, food, movies, video games and is known as the wiki for a indie horror game franchise. One of his videos that I remember was about bullet proof skin and from what I remember was very plausible to work and exist as armour in the real world. I obviously didn't put bullet proof skin on me since I didn't want to do operation on myself since I'm not a professional doctor. 

Now there are some drawbacks to the coat. Graphene is very conductive to electricity. Meaning that electric based magic and attacks will severely hurt me. But hey, the coat should be nearly indestructible so it's not a loss. Plus, I don't really see much of electric type attacks from Fma or Danmachi so fighting opponents that have electric type attacks his very low on happening. And even if I do encounter them, I can just ditch my coat and all the other armour I'm wearing is not attached to the coat.

Now back to the dungeon.

I walked from floor one to floor four. Normal adventurers that just started wouldn't be able to do this kind of feat on the first day but since I have access to every alchemy from Fma and alchemy that wasn't in the show at all, I have no problem with handling the monster, even if I'm ambushed by a horde. I can just burn them all Roy Mustang style or teleport away which is just me transmuting myself to another location.

I walked through the floor and I see three dog headed monsters, kobolts. I quickly transmute my arm guards into a blade like Edward uses on my right and transmuted a small shield on my left arm.
