Starting today, I’m going to explore a dungeon as a seeker.
I was a normal salaryman until yesterday, but I didn’t like how my workplace was suddenly turning into a black company, so I threw my letter of resignation to my boss’ face and left.
I don’t feel like I overdid it, and whatever regret I might have felt is overwritten by the sense of accomplishment I feel, so I feel refreshed.
Well then, if I don’t start making money in my unemployed state, I’m going to be eating bean sprouts next month.
I’m not a growing boy, but I still want to fill my stomach and avoid the bean sprout life.
And so, until I can find another job, I’m going to earn some money working the very unpopular job of seeker.
It’s got the three D’s, dirty, demanding, and dangerous, but I can take it for a short period of time.
I don’t waste time, buy a club and shield, and head to the dungeon.
The first floor has monsters that are like pill bugs but bigger, so I hit them with the club here and there as I head to the second floor. They’re slow and easy to beat, but they’re also not worth much, so most people don’t bother.
Of course, I’m also just trying to get to the second floor. I’m not going after them.
But when I reach the staircase to the second floor, I see a group of over a hundred of these pill bugs, so I have to eliminate them.
◇ ◇ ◇
That took a while.
My clothes are dirty, my club is broken beyond being usable, and most importantly, I’m tired.
They’re slow and weak, but it’s still tough to take down so many.
And all I have to show for it is a transparent glass ball. When I reach out to grab it, it gets sucked into my hand and disappears.
I think my exhaustion is making me see things.
Let’s just go home.
