In Abyss after Kazuma left
"Well, you sure were impatient with the new guy," said another god in a cloak with a mysterious dark aura and red eyes as he approached Kami-Sama.
In a hurry, Kami-sama answered, "Hey, it's your fault for starting the bet, there's like 10 minutes left before the concert begins, and I have to prepare to leave, I just hope he fulfills your wish and brings the princess back."
As the Kami-sama began to warp himself, the mysterious god whispered to himself, "He sure will... because I added something of mine in that boy's inventory."
[Waking up in an unfamiliar place]
Ugh...? What is this place?
Wait a second! I remember I died and met kami-sama but... this isn't the magical land kami-sama was talking about.
Uhm... Is this a cave?
Sigh... I should try finding an exit then.
(A holographic screen appears in front of me saying, "[Alert: You cannot leave the dungeon until you reach the 100th final floor]")
Eh...?
Astounded I am, I could not believe Kami-sama chose not to tell me something important like this. I thought it was a cave but I'm locked in a fucking dungeon with 100 floors? My isekai adventure just began a few seconds ago.
Who the hell starts their adventure right from a dungeon!?
Well, I think he forgot to tell me a lot of important things because he wanted to go to an idol concert. He even mentioned something about other people coming to this world, getting mobile phones and other accessories, wait hold up let me see what I got.
[Opening The System]
Wow, this holographic screen sure feels nice, there are so many functions like overview, stats, party, inventory, skills, craft, map, and encyclopedia, kinda like the games I've played.
Woah there's even a zoom function I can control with my eyes, that will definitely come in handy.
It seems the map only expands whenever I explore or find new locations.
But most importantly there isn't any assistance option, did Kami-sama just trolled me with that white light?
A feminine voice answered, "No."
Huh!? A voice came from the System!? Wait who are you!?
The feminine voice answered, "I'm the voice of the system linked to your soul, I'm a life form created from your request, I'm your eyes in the darkness, your solace in the suffering, I'm your guide in this world. If you would like to know anything at any time feel free to do so."
I asked the system, "I want to ask many things but what should I call you? Do you have a name?"
The voice of the system replied, "I do not have a name. You can call me whatever you desire."
After some careful thinking, I responded, "Is that so? Then I'll call you Athena, a name known for its wisdom."
Athena replied, "Understood."
Hmm... maybe I should ask her some basic questions about where am I and how can I leave this place.
Hey Athena, "What is this dungeon? Where can I find an exit to this place?"
Athena answered, "Currently we're in the dungeon known as, Ancient Demon King's Palace. A place that does not exist in history books anymore, far away from any ocean or continent."
"The only way to leave this place is by reaching the 100th floor. Seems like your situation is different because Summoned ones are meant to arrive at their respective Kingdoms where they're summoned by invoking prayers to the god they worship. Similarly, the Reincarnated ones are sent to uncharted territories, away from kingdoms to live an independent life free of duties and responsibilities."
Frowned, I see... goddamn my unluckiness has even followed me to another world.
Meh let's forget it, time to check what we have in inventory.
[Inventory]
Consumable: High-Grade Health Potion x15 (Recovers half of the user's health)
Consumable: High-Grade Mana Potion x15 (Recovers half of the user's mana)
Consumable: Apple x15 (Fruit for consumption, can also slowly restore health, mana, and stamina)
Rare Consumable: White Phoenix's Feather x1 (Allows the user to be fully restored and resurrected, consumed automatically upon death) (Note: It is only provided once)
Rare Consumable: Divine Blessing x7 (Removes any type of debuff, Raises all of the stats and abilities by 70% for 30 mins)
Equipment: Ring of ??? (???) (Note: Cannot be removed once equipped)
Tool: Smoke bomb x15 (Can be used to confuse opponent's surroundings or to flee from battle)
Gift: x1 (A departing gift from the player's previous world, granted by their respective God)
That's it? Are 15 potions enough to survive a dungeon with 100 floors? I thought Kami-sama said I would get beginner's equipment but there is nothing except this nameless ring without description. I don't even know if I should wear it or not. Since it cannot be removed after equipping.
//Ahem he didn't choose any profession, so he didn't get any profession-based equipment by a technicality -Athena//
Sigh...
At least the divine blessings and smoke bombs seem convenient, and that phoenix feather looks like a super rare item.
But without further ado let's see what that gift has stored for me.
Select > Gift x1 > Open
