《HERO CHRONICLES:》Chapter 22: [ Trap ... ? ]
Advertisement
“Human!!!! There’s a human! KILL HIMMM!!!”
*RrooooooaaaaarrrRRR*
The angry mobs roared while chasing me.
‘w, wha, what the hell! What kind of misfortune is this? that Freakin' trap!!!!!! Noooooooo S-someone please-- please call my LAWYERRR!!!! If I---If I try to fight all that monster I'm definitely, absolutely going to DIE!!!'
I looked back at the horde of monsters and demons that are showing theirs fangs and claws ready to crush my own poor little life if ever I will be caught.
“Um, hey! I’m really sorry; really I’m just passing by! Look I’m unarmed. I don’t want to fight you, I’m a pacifist so
let’s just settle this democratically, shall we ladies and gents!”
I tried to reason but all I receive are angry roars and shout.
Hm? Where am I?
AS IF I KNOW WHERE IS THIS GODDAMN PLACE!!!!!
Currently, I was running through this freaking savage grasses. These grasses grew up to 160 cm and goes up to my hips.
................and the reason for this absurd and terrible situation is........
“”””””””””””Grrrrrrroooooooaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!””””””””””””
There were nearly 20 to 30 of demon beasts and monsters chasing me.
What? Didn't I was resting just a while ago, you ask?
Well you see, I merely blundered into a trap! Teehee pero (^,^)
-----------------------------------------
(1 hour ago)
What the hell is this!? so much skills and titles! Did I just hit a jackpot? Did I accidentally triggered the mode when I was registering my account?
After I saw my Log which is filled with notifications for new skills and titles, I couldn't help myself but dance in joy!
"This is truly a blessing! What the hell......ahahahahaha"
Is this what the stat supposed to be?
I don't really care about levels, only idiots would feel arrogant just because they have very high levels.
The what about skills?
Of course! for me, this is the most important right now! What matters is not level but stats, skills and obviously
equipments. Well, my experience of fighting in real life as well as all the things I've learned from master also play a vital role in my survival and not only that, my martial art was also boosted by the game system making it like a
cheat.
If by any chance I had lacked any of the abilities I've got, things may not have turned out the way it did.
Fumu! I'm really lucky and fortunate~
Looking back at that fierce fight, I felt not fear but gratitude in my heart! Truly one can only learn and become strong when fighting a powerful enemy.
Turning my eyes in the direction where the frog's corpse disappeared, I silently offered a prayer.
"Mr. Frog Thank you for offering yourself to become my stepping stone to become stronger~ I will never forget you............probably? oh well, please rest in peace and ascend to heaven, hell or anywhere you like......."
Hm? Now that I remember it, I should have died back there but then something flew and hit the eye of that attacking frog. Who was the one who throw that? weird, I don't feel any presence in the surrounding~

"Mini-map"
As soon as said that, a blue colored screen window appeared. In the window was a small incomplete map. It only had a square chart, and the black arrow showed my current position and the direction I’m facing. Truthfully enough, I found it. A small red dot 10 meters away from me. I hastily turned around but nothing was there. When I looked at the map it was gone!
What was that?
Is it a monster? well, considering it was color red, then no doubt it is a monster but is it the one who helped me? for what purpose?
".............................."
Nah~ slim chance, maybe it is just a coincidence.
After my and was filled completely, I began to start walking further in the dungeon.
In my way, I met some monsters called [Rock Eaters ] that look like caterpillars. This caterpillars has a height of about one meter and a width of about two meters. In short they are like an Overgrown gigantic caterpillars.
Just as they appear, they're solid and tough as a rock but unlike their appearance they're fast like crazy. Rather than a slow caterpillar, their speed is more like a centipede.
But they're levels are ranging from level 5-9 so my hunting was proceeding quite smoothly while fighting them alone.
After an hour of hunting while walking, I accidentally found a room.
When I entered the room, what I found was nothing.
Yeah, It was an empty room except there was something drawn at the center.
It was like a Magic Circle you often found in various anime and manga.
And this Magic Circle shines with a ghostly pale light.
Because of curiosity, I wanted to see it up close but then............I tripped on a stone.
This caused me to stagger forward with my other foot. Maybe due to some misfortune, I landed on the Magic Circle.
Then suddenly the Magic Circle shone brightly and I was covered with light.
Ding!
You have activated the Trap Teleportation Circle!
You will now be transported randomly inside the dungeon!
"Don't joke with...."
I couldn't finish what I'm saying because I was now completely engulfed with that white light and I can feel my body being pulled.
Ding!
Welcome to the Dungeon 8th floor!
------------------------------------------
And that's what happened to me! What greeted me after I was forcefully teleported was an absurd number of demon beasts and monsters.
There were 20, no.....30.....I guess?
And here I am, frantically running while being chased by those crazy monsters!
Isn't this unfair!?
The floor I'm in now had an appearance of a forest, an extensive forest so to speak. Lush and dense trees over 10 meter tall lined the forest and the atmosphere was damp that I unconsciously retorted 'Is this really the same dungeon from before!?' in my mind.
Good thing it was not hot like the tropical forest level though!
After 30 minutes of running.....
Vitality rises by 1 point. (+1 VIT)

Agility rises by 1 point. (+1 AGI)
Two status rose almost the same time.
Eh!? What the heck is this?
hm?........Wait......Come to think of it, during the period there is a rumor going around in the net that if one do the same thing all over again during the first four week period there is a chance that you can gain bonus stats! well, because it's a very difficult way and needs extreme patience and perseverance no players would never waste their time for it.
Well, because you can only receive it in the training hall just like the rumor said, many players tried it but
failed so it deemed as only a rumor.
".......But for that rumor to be real, I guess I'm just quite lucky aren't I------or not! What the hell!!!! This is not the time for admiring this type of luck! I'm really in a major pinch right now! If I'm really lucky then please do something
to that horde!!!!!!!"
""""""""""GrooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrRRRRR!!!!!"""""""""""
"I'm not calling you DAMMIT!!!!"
“ “ “ “ “ “GROOOOAAAAAAAAAAA” ” ” ” ” ”
'This is impossible——! ? '
At least to me, it was completely impossible.
“Damn it! I'm just a lone cute and handsome level 8 player and you're too many for me to fight!!! Not only that, you are far more high level than me! What's with the Level 20 being an average level!? NOT FAIRRRRRR! If you really want a fight then please FALL IN LINE!!!!"
“ “ “ “ “ “GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” ” ” ” ” ”
Turning my back towards the horde of Kobolds, wolves and monsters, I desperately ran. These terrible horde of
monsters were chasing stubbornly after me.
Room filled with overflowing greeneries and ceilings filled my entire vision.
The dungeon where one could not see the sky yet it was overflowing of trees and forest-like atmosphere as it
stretched endlessly in all directions, I desperately ran while waving my arms.
Naturally, I have some confidence to fight them one-on-one. Although they have very high level that can easily
outstripped my own, they are still monsters that is why no matter how high level they are, their stat points
are still low compared to a player with the same level than them. If I were to estimate it then, I can deduce that they're true power are of that a Level 15 and above monster.
But, If I were to fight all these monster at the same time then surely without a doubt I will die. Thus, I had no other
options except for one and that is--------to run!
"D-damn, I'm supposed to have good luck!!! yet why am I having bad luck when I don't need it!!!???"
Including yesterday's unexpected fight to the death with that BOSS monster, I truly feel that these past few days, I didn't have anything pleasant happening to me, instead there was extreme bad luck and danger.
Am I really lucky? I am now starting to really doubt my Luck stat~
Have I somehow obtained someone's hatred or have I been secretly cursed?......

Caution: Due to continuously running non-stop without eating and drinking for quite some time, satiety decrease by 10%!
"wha-!?, no, no please not now! what the hell!?
Caution: Due to continuously running non-stop without eating and drinking for quite some time, satiety decrease by 10%!
Caution: Due to continuously running non-stop without eating and drinking for quite some time, satiety decrease by 10%!
The tattered black shirt and pants I'm wearing was now becoming heavy as hell as if it just had absorbed sweat and stuck fast to my body. Many pop-up notification windows blocks my view but I just swipe it all out as I am truly busy running for my life.
Caution: Because of the decrease of your satiety you are now hungry and your speed will decrease by 30%
"What the fu*k!? Are kidding me? Don't you see that I'm seriously running for my life? Do you really want me to die that badly, huh?"
'Tch! If there's anything for me to rely on in this situation, then that could be my speed but this system would take it from me? Damn!............
“!”
hm? that's a........... sink or swim huh!
I stopped for a moment and then took out my claymore from my inventory and then I quickly swung it around as strong as I can, cutting the tall grass around me. The cut grasses then float in the air as it barely cover my body. I quickly jumped into the right-angled corner as I noticed the small crevice in the ground. Fortunately enough the entrance of the hole barely fit me in.
After hiding my presence, the horde of monsters run past above me.
"........In the end, I still don't know whether I am lucky or not......"
Either it was thanks to my fortune that I managed to find these crevice, or is it because of the tall grasses around me
that help me to hide myself, for now I was able to get out of that mess and managed to stay alive.
"Now then......What should I do next? monsters on these place have really higher level than mine....."
Thinking about what I had to do next, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
No matter what I'll do, there is no way I could defeat a horde of high level monsters alone. Coupled with the big difference in levels, It was really impossible if you just think about it.
'No! There must be a way! There is no way I'll just rot here and die while doing nothing! There must be a way!'
