"Have you found any traps?" Briar spoke from behind me.

"Not yet." My eyes flashed and quickly returned to normal as I activated the skill. I shook my head to show that I had not discovered any traps.

It had been more than 30 minutes since we started moving, and the three of us had not encountered any monsters or traps. Should we call it luck or not?

It's good that we didn't fall into any traps, but what's the point of this hunt if we didn't encounter any monsters?

Well, it's only been 30 minutes since I entered the Dungeon, so I can't say anything. I should feel relieved that I have more time to adapt to the new environment in the Dungeon.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when I find a trap."

Ever since I entered the Dungeon, I've been using Sharp Gaze every now and then. To be honest, it's draining quite a bit of my mana. I'm only an F- rank, but this is an E rank skill. It's a whole rank higher, so using it is quite a burden for me.

Fortunately, I only activate it for a split second each time I use it, so the actual mana consumption was not enough to exhaust me. If I were to encounter a monster right now, I'd still be able to deal with it.

"Um, I trust Danny." Liz smiled happily.

Looking at Liz warmed my heart a little, really. She reminded me of my little sister on Earth. She was very cute and had a personality very similar to Liz's, cheerful and lively. She was the only one who didn't judge my hobby of reading web novels, she even asked me about good novels and read them.

I still remember the image of her following me around and calling Big Brother. I remember the times when we fought over some pieces of cake. I remember the scene where we talked animatedly when the topic was related to novel, manga and anime.

It's just a pity... I've forgotten what her face looked like.

My damaged memory made me unable to remember the faces of my family anymore. I only vaguely remembered a few beautiful moments I had when I was with them. And this really made me very miserable.

I revealed a bitter expression when I thought about my family in my previous life. My steps faltered a bit.

"What's wrong, Danny? You don't look so good." Liz asked after walking in front of me. She looked very worried.

On the other hand, Briar suddenly raised his guard, he asked cautiously.

"...Or did you find something?"

Briar's expression showed that he was also worried when he saw my expression. But what he put first right now was the safety of the three of us. If I wasn't feeling well, he would go ahead and scout for traps himself. If I found something, he would immediately rush forward as I instructed.

...Well, I could be considered the leader of this group.

"Haha, I'm fine. I just remembered something unpleasant." I smiled to reassure Liz and started walking again.

"...and you don't have to worry Briar, nothing unusual-". As I spoke, I activated Sharp Gaze and looked forward.

"Wait!"

Realizing something was wrong, my steps faltered and I quickly reached out to block both of them with a very serious expression.

Briar and Liz saw this and quickly entered a state of high alert.

"Is there a trap?" Briar said.

I didn't reply, but my actions answered Briar's question.

My eyes were shining, indicating that I was using Sharp Gaze. I carefully picked up a small rock and threw it forward.
