《Death God's Adventure in Another World [Dropped]》Chapter 1: Vacation?
Advertisement
In front of me lay 5 corpses of the mortals who assaulted me earlier. Right now, they must be meeting with the Life God and should be reincarnated after a few years.
Even though I won’t die in a sense, I don’t want my vacation cut short. I want to enjoy this vacation for as long as I can.
I approached the 5 corpses and rummaged through their belongings. I, as a God, know this much of minimum information about how to survive, but I forgot to gather information about the world I was going to descend. This is a major mistake as I don’t know what the customs of this world are, and this might lead to the shortening of my vacation.
What I found were sharp and blunt objects used to assault me earlier, small, round items with a color of brown, silver, and gold, a glass bottle filled with green liquid, etc.
I also found a round object hanging from the neck of a mortal. I grabbed and pulled it from her with strength that made the chain break. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it can open and close, and inside, a picture of three mortals. The female is probably her, a male mortal, and another young female mortal.
Since this didn’t have any value whatsoever to me, and bringing this just might make things complicated, so I threw it aside and started rummaging again for more valuables.
After searching the bodies, I only found three sharp, one blunt object, a curved wood with string tied at its end, exactly 59 brown, 84 silver, and 5 gold small round objects, and 10 glass bottles filled with green liquid. The others, I didn’t need, such as food and water.
Since I finished my business here, I started walking towards the opposite direction from where I came from. Since the dome was large, it took me about 15 minutes to reach the end, and I found another pathway connecting to this dome.

Without any hesitation, I walked into the dark pathway, which posed no problem because I can see in the dark. After walking for another minute, I encountered an animal with the shape of a dog with two heads.
The two-headed dog noticed me and glared at my direction while showing its teeth. I glanced at its direction, before walking past it as it did not pique my interest. But upon doing so, I was assaulted with a vicious attack.
I was knocked back about 5 meters and my body tumbled on the ground, kicking up a dust cloud.
Pain again… Even you? Why do you want to shorten my vacation so?
I stood up while feeling pain in my body, during that, the two-headed dog lunged at me once again. Using my two bony hands as a weapon, I pierced its one head with my right, and used my left to crush the other.
Blood and brain matter scattered all over the floor, and the two-headed dog went limp. Seeing the blood stick on my bones, I felt a strange sensation causing my mind to feel disrupted.

What is this?
In front of my vision, a table with characters with unfamiliar meaning to me appeared. Also, before this table appeared, I heard something like a voice in my head saying something like I leveled up.
Is that a voice of a God?
It must be the God in charge of managing the world. I forgot the names of the other Gods because I was busy reaping souls and sending them to the Life God for reincarnation.
I thoroughly checked this table since this has something to do with me. When I focused on the HP character, another table popped up with words explaining about this HP character.

HP – The stat in which the owner’s health is conveyed in numbers. Once this stat reached 0, the owner will die. On the left side is the current HP and on the right is the maximum HP.
Since this was easy to understand, I quickly comprehended the meaning. Upon reaching an understanding, I remembered my earlier current HP before I leveled up.
That was close… Anymore damage and my vacation would have been over.
Realizing that the lowering of my HP is dangerous, I made a mental note to learn how to fight without incurring damage.
MP – The stat in which the owner’s magical capacity is conveyed in numbers. Using magic or specified skills will reduce this stat based on the magic used. Once this stat reaches 0, the owner will faint and will not wake up until after 8 hours has passed. On the left side is the current MP and on the right is the maximim MP.
This one, I should be careful when using the things called magic and skills. Since earlier, I saw I had a skill I should probably try and practice it so that I can use this to prolong my vacation.
Str – The stat in which the owner’s physical capabilities is conveyed in numbers. The higher the stat, the stronger the force when doing activities.
Agi – The stat in which the owner’s speed is conveyed in numbers. The higher the stat, the faster the speed when moving.
End – The stat in which the owner’s endurance is conveyed in numbers. The higher the stat, the higher the tolerance with physical pain magical attacks, and can reduce the damage dealt to the HP stat.
Int – The stat in which the owner’s magic capability is conveyed in numbers. The higher the stat, the stronger and efficient the usage of magic, and also resist certain mental attacks. Can also reduce the usage of MP with magic used.
Luc – The stat in which the owner’s luck is conveyed. The higher the stat, the higher the chance to have favourable encounters and situations. Can also sometimes evade death if the stat is high.
These five stats are composed of my body’s physical and magic capabilities. Since all of these are self-explanatory, I don’t have to wrack my heads about how to use these stats to my advantage. The problem here is the LUC stat, Isn’t my stat in that parameter 0? Will that shorten my vacation time?
After contemplating on these matters, I shelved them deep within my mind until I can get some information about this world. Since there is nothing to do here except walk forward, I continued on the dark path, ignoring the dead two-headed dog.

~ Third Person POV ~
Inside a building filled with countless of people, there were two figures discussing about a certain matter.
“The tracking device on the party leader of the A-rank adventurer party, Crowstorm, lost its signal.”
“… Does that mean that they were killed?”
“I can’t fully predict that whether they were killed or not, but one thing is for certain, something happened down in the labyrinth.”
“Isn’t this an omen for bad times?”
“That may be so indeed.”
Sitting on a chair while settling his elbows on the desk was the Adventurer’s Guild, Rockhound branch guildmaster, Andreas Philips, while on the other side of the desk, was a normal looking human named Roy.
“Order the adventurers, no one is to step foot on the lower floors of the labyrinth, particularly the 7th – 8th floor.”
“Understood.”
After a brief discussion, Roy left the room and left behind a gloomy Andreas.
“Linda, I hope you are safe.”
