Quick note – I changed the Title [Irregular] to [Coldhearted] because it is a more accurate translation.

Enjoy~


“Wait, I can smell some sulfur” said Gwyn. I wasn’t able to detect any smells but I had my suspicions that there was an abundance of sulfuric gas. The smoke in the air had a distinct color, there were mushrooms growing along the way and the moss which was originally light green was turning yellow. After what felt like two hours of walking along the same road, I had yet to meet a single living creature.

“Huh? I can hear the sound of water!” Gwyn shouted excitedly.

The sound of water flowing down a waterfall could be heard in the distance.

“Common Chompy! Giddy up!”

It had been a long time since I had heard some sound, so I ran forth excitedly.

After another dozen or so minutes we finally arrived to the end of the tunnel, there was a large pit, about 40 to 50 meters high with clouds in the air and sunlight shining down from above. It looked like a huge garden, roughly 500~600 meters wide. I could hear the birds chirping, and a waterfall running down the cave wall to finally form a lake in the middle.

The mouth of the tunnel in which I was standing was roughly 15 meters from the floor, it must have been the passage the dragon used to travel back and forth.

A lush and vibrant rainforest existed here and the sounds of various animals could be heard.

“No way! This is great~! Woooow! I can’t believe there’s a forest here, Can I maybe meet some of my kin? So cool!”

The moment I stepped out of the cave my bones were exposed to the burning sunlight.

[You have learned Sunlight resistance Lv1]

Although I didn’t feel any pain there was a certain unpleasantness. I carefully covered all my bones with robes and stepped into the light. Fortunately I learned that if there was no direct contact with sunlight I was fine.

Gwyn forced her way out from within me and rushed towards the forest.

“Ugh Waaah!”

Gwyn immediately came running back almost three times a fast, she was being chased by 3 large albino white ant-like insects the size of a child. They looked somewhat similar to the food I encountered within the dragon’s stomach.

As they were approaching I quickly used my new Identification skill to view their Status Page.

[Magic Resistance Lv2]

‘Magic resist… this is going to be hard.’

I didn’t expect a monster which looked like a giant ant to possess magic resistance let alone level 2.

“Slow! Slow! Slow!”

I quickly casted a slow spell for each but surprisingly one was able to resist its effects. I calmly sent out another slow as I kited them back towards the tunnel I just arrived from.

“Fireball!”

Fireball was both a high damage and area of effect spell so it was ideal for this kind of situation with several opponents but it would consume so much of my mana.

‘Uggh so annoying!’

Because of the termite’s high magic resist my fireball only did about 30 damage and my MP could only sustain 10 fireballs.
