Working together, we took down one armor at a ti. It was absolutely necessary if we wanted to survive. A day went by, and we had managed to kill a dozen armors, but no food was found. Her Swordman went up to eleven, while my White Mage went up to Level 10, finally unlocking Create Water. As soon as I got the skill, I laughed and filled an entire waterbag. As soon as we got sowhere safe, I reckoned I’d make a bath.
My stomach felt emptier and emptier. I tried drinking water like they suggest you do, but it was really tough. So people claim they go on water fasts for a full month. That ant it was possible to survive, especially for and my fat deposits. Especially considering that illness wasn’t an issue. Was my clothing feeling loose? I felt like it was.
“What are you doing, Master?” Lydia asked after the latest monster collapsed.
“I’m deciding what job I should equip,” I explained.
It was at a point where I didn’t feel like I needed to keep White Mage up to protect Lydia. It was all about survival. What skills would keep alive the longest? At the mont, my status was:
{Na: Deek
Class: Support
Race: Human
Job: White Mage (level 10)
Possible Jobs: Hero (level 6), rchant (level 1), Alchemist (level 1), Cook (level 3)}
Alchemy wouldn’t be difficult to get to level 3. Neither would rchant. Was the secret to survival with either of those jobs? That was the dilemma I was facing. Every kill I wasted leveling one skill was a kill that took away from another. Ti was precious. I was a bit caught up in having so many options.
“Pick Hero…” Lydia offered her thoughts.
“Hero? Why Hero?” I asked.
Lydia blushed, looking very cute as she avoided my look, her tail swishing aggressively. “Because Master is a hero.”
“Hah…” Her reasoning was founded on sothing so simple. “Very well…”
I decided to go with her argunt and set up Hero. My goal wasn’t to defeat this dungeon. It was to escape it. Of all the skills, I had the feeling an Escape Dungeon skill existed for a hero most of all. That was my justification for choosing as such.
We continued to fight for the rest of the day. At level 11, Lydia’s next level was slow to co. As for , I was getting really hungry and it beca all I could think about. It was at that point that I finally leveled up. It seed like different skills took different amounts of ti to level. Even though I’d leveled with Hero equipped almost as much as White Mage, Hero leveled slower because it wasn’t a support job. At least, that was my theory.
{Hero has increased to level 7.}
{You have unlocked the Hero skill: Sense Life.}
Sense Life? This ability was the least useful yet! I really wanted to curse. I was just about to switch to rchant and hope for a miracle when I suddenly noticed that I could indeed sense a lifeform. I could feel Lydia’s life, but hers wasn’t the only one in the dungeon. It wasn’t the armor either. If it was, then there would have been one sitting just twenty feet away from us.
“Lydia…” I whispered. “I want you to attack with all your speed… right… there…” I pointed in the direction my sense life indicated.
Lydia pulled her sword and didn’t even question . She lunged with her sword, drawing on all of her skill to attack the area I had indicated. A screech filled the air, and a creature leaped away from the corner, causing Lydia to pull back and cry. However, the creature had already been severely cut, and a few monts later it fell to the ground into a bloody pile.
Lydia approached it, and a mont later let out a sad noise. “Ah… it was just a cute bunny.”
“No…” I shook my head as I watched the bunny lt back into the earth. “This is food.”
