Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha - Chapter 14

Level Up and EncounterIt was that day when I felt a sense of incompatibility on my body.. when I knocked down the fifth slime..Although I fought in this labyrinth many times before, it seems that it was not only luck that I was able to beat that slime with a single shot, anything I beat up from there onward needed only one single blow to be finished.It seems my skills are rising at a speed never seen when I was human.When I was an adventurer, I never got a real feeling that my ability went up no matter how much I practiced.Well, maybe being an skeleton is better than not being strong.It is uncertain as to whether my grow in this condition will be stopped at some point, but I’ll keep fighting for the time being.

After that, when I knocked down dozens of monsters, I got a different feeling in my body.

It was not a bad thing, but rather a strange feeling that something gushed out from inside of my body.

Still, it will be a problem if something goes wrong, so I tried to resist that feeling for the time being, but my efforts ended in vain.

A sound “click” was heard from inside my body and when I recovered, I was covered with a bright light.

Well, what is going to happen?

Suddenly my body, got covered by white meat that attached itself to the white bones.

It envelops my bones… Just what I was wanting all this time..

Existential Evolution first step!

I wonder if that is about to happen now.

The phenomenon continued for a while, spreading to my entire body.

The meat covered my arms, legs, back, front, my entire being!, Mean, finally I leave the skeleton rankings!..

After a while the phenomenon stopped.

Again, I observe my body.

However, there was not such a beautiful skin as when I was a human being, it was only meat attached to the bones, but no skin..

I don’t my how my face is yet I can hardly imagine..

I’m very creepy now..

But this proved me that the possibility of becoming a higher level existence if I try hard from now on is possible.

The more monsters I beat, the higher the rank of the monsters, the closer of a human appearance I will gain.

If I reach a certain stage, I will no longer be distinguished from a normal human, with the difference that I’m now much stronger.

I will be able to work in the city without problems at that point.

Well, I was familiar with the gatekeepers, and if I do it well I may be able to get in and out normally …

Oh, that’s right. I got what I wanted for now.

In this way, there is something that I want to try since before.

-Put your strength in your throat and try to see if the voice comes out-

Apparently, sound seems to come out.

Well, I can talk for the time being, but I can not speak fluently.

In this case, even if someone comes in the labyrinth, I can manage somehow.

Well, the premise is that the someone I encounter is not terrified and attacks me first, as I’m very creepy right now.

While thinking about such things, I heard the sound of someone fighting monsters at the distance.

There are people!, there is a metallic sound colliding with something, that sound cannot be made by monsters.

Ahh, my mind got excited. So much time without seeing people.

If there are adventurers, can I speak and explain my situation and ask for help?

I thought so.

I’m pretty excited about it! but… thinking again, if an adventurer encounters a monster such as my current self he would warn me to leave or wield the weapon to defeat me without speaking.

So, the option I should take now is to hide as far away as possible from the direction in which the battle sound is heard, and not encounter adventurers.

But.. I’m worried..

No, I cannot go there, I have to hide. But…

I feel as a stupid but I really want to check there..

And I choose to check the situation.

I got a little closer while guarding to not be found.

I thought that it would be okay if I peeked a little from behind.

As the sound gets bigger, the excitement in my heart increases.

A little more.

Almost a while, I can see a human being after a long time.

And I finally arrived.

From the other side of that corner, battle sounds are coming.

I approached slowly and peeped a little from between some rocks.

Then, as expected, there was a single female adventurer fighting against many monsters.
