Golden Deity: Slime in the Multiverse [Danmachi]

Chapter 10: Orario City

15 hours later.

A wall that rose dozens of meters high. Built of mighty rocks, sturdy and durable. The city's inner walls gave off a faint glow from the sunlight halfway around the world.

If one were to look down from the sky, one would see that the wall had a perfectly circular shape, enclosing and protecting the strongest city in the world.

The Labyrinth City Orario was a city that existed even before the gods descended to the mortal world; likewise, it was the only Labyrinth City in the world.

The city was composed of monumental buildings. But the most striking thing was undoubtedly the horror rising in the sky right in the city's center, which also traced paths dividing the city into eight equal parts.

A gigantic skyscraper could be seen outside the imposing stone wall surrounding the city!

The figure, with the shadow cast by the sunlight, covered a large part of the city, creating a sense of dignity that could overwhelm anyone contemplating it for the first time.

This installation, or a skyscraper, was known as [Babel], which acted as the roof of the dungeon. Thanks to it, the city flourished and showed its splendor to the whole world.

"Is the Dungeon supposed to be located underneath this city? Now that I remember, in the wiki, it said that a God kept the monsters at bay so they wouldn't come to the surface... I just hope he didn't notice me."

Although my eyes were covered by a black cloth, which hid my unusual eyes from others, it didn't obstruct my vision so that I could visualize everything in the city.

"From what I see, there are a lot of adventurers; no, it would be better to say that almost all the people in this place are adventurers...".

Most of the adventurers in the world, who wanted to experience a predestined encounter, came to this city where the monsters originated, whether the monsters inside the dungeon or the monsters from the ancient era that escaped all over the continent.

The countless curious adventurers would enter the labyrinth in search of profit. After all, the birth of monsters within the maze was limitless. The labyrinth acted as a mother for the monsters, spawning enemies for those who ventured into it.

Given this, naturally, the loot to be obtained by adventurers was unlimited. Of course, this depended mainly on the adventurer's strength and luck.

This was also the reason why the gods and goddesses were attracted to Orario; with it, they could have fun, something they did not have in Heaven.

"... Interesting, the anime didn't do justice to what this city is like at all. It's much more majestic to live and see it in the flesh than to visualize it in an anime."

"Get out of the way, kid." An angry voice came from behind me, interrupting my mutterings. I turned my face, and with an annoyed glare at the middle-aged man with bulging muscles, I clicked my tongue.

"Dude, are you so jealous of me that you don't realize that this damn street has yards of space?". I let out a grimace, seeing the man's expression twitched.

"I feel sorry for you, man. I bet you couldn't talk any woman into taking you to bed, am I right?" I said in a sympathetic tone and patted the man on the shoulder.

"...The world is cruel. Someone like you couldn't understand it." The man nodded with a tear escaping from the corners of his eyes.

"Yes, I know, don't I? But cheer up; I'll pray for your life to be joyful." I patted him again and turned to leave, "That way, at least one toad in the red zone would be interested in him...".
