𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟓: 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧

When I woke up, I felt much calmer and my energy had recovered.

It’s true that humans calm down after sleeping.

Although it’s debatable whether I can be called a human right now.

In the status race view, it says dungeon master.

ㅤ

“Status.”

ㅤ

For now, I opened my status to check if my abnormal fatigue had been removed.

A transparent display similar to the dungeon menu appears in front of me, and my status is displayed on it.

However, there was a slightly unexpected display there.

ㅤ

🔸🔸🔸

𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐯𝟑

𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐣𝐨・𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢

ㅤ

𝐇𝐏: 𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟒

𝐌𝐏: 𝟓𝟎𝟎𝟎/𝟓𝟎𝟎𝟎

ㅤ

🔸🔸🔸

ㅤ

My Lv has gone up by one.

Or rather, the rate of MP increase is amazing.

ㅤ

When I looked around the cave, no, the dungeon, wondering why, there were about five goblin corpses lying around.

And there was the figure of the Living Armor-senpai, standing covered in splattered blood.

It seems he defeated them for me.

If I check the menu, my DP has increased a little.

I immediately recycled the corpses of the goblins and used that DP to repair the damage to the Living Armor-senpai.

There wasn’t much damage, so it was completely healed with about 3DP.

The Living Armor-senpai is strong.

. . .But it’s not good that I was sleeping while being attacked.

Next time, I’ll take some measures.

ㅤ

“Well.”

ㅤ

After finishing the minimum checks, I started thinking.

What should I do from now on?

What do I want to do?

Things like that.

ㅤ

At first, I thought it would be okay to die here.

Papa and Mama are dead, and since I’ve been transferred to another world in such a place, I can’t go back to my home anymore.

Even if I could go back, it’s the scene of a gruesome murder.

I probably can’t continue being a hikikomori quietly as I have been.

That place was everything in my world.

In other words, I’ve lost everything in the world.

ㅤ

I don’t have the will to live anymore.

There’s no meaning in living.

But, I realized when I was attacked by the goblins.

I don’t have the will to live, but I also don’t have the courage to die.

ㅤ

When I was attacked by the goblins, I was very scared of dying, of being killed, of being violated.

No, it’s not just the goblins.

It was the same with the stalker.

That’s why I stabbed him to death in desperation.

ㅤ

It’s the same now.

I could die by biting my tongue, hitting my head against the rock wall, or having the Living Armor-senpai destroy the dungeon core.

Yet, I don’t have the courage to do that.

In the end, I can’t kill myself.

For me, who chose the path of hikikomori to escape from painful things.

ㅤ

Then, what should I do?

The answer may have been decided from the beginning.

That’s why I checked my status.

I searched for a way to survive.

In the end, it’s just as the dungeon core intended.

ㅤ

“I will. . .become a dungeon master.”

ㅤ

I’ll become a dungeon master, build an impregnable labyrinth, and make it my new sanctuary.

No one can conquer it.

Whether it’s a stalker, a goblin, a hero, or a Demon Lord, I won’t let them reach me, I’ll build an iron-wall labyrinth.

And I will shut myself away in the depths of such a labyrinth.

So that I never have to be scared like that again.

ㅤ

I will perfect the path of hikikomori.

ㅤ

“Alright! Once that’s decided, let’s start building the dungeon right away!”

ㅤ

And so, I opened the menu again and started enhancing the dungeon.

All for the sake of my peaceful hikikomori life.

Anyone who threatens my peace, whoever they may be. . .

ㅤ

“――I’ll kill them all.”

ㅤ

At that time, I was laughing.

With a mad smile on my face, I started building the dungeon.

For me.

A paradise just for me.
