8 tues – those on the bottom floor (1)

A very subtle change began to take place in this gigantic and enormous cave, which must have been around for a while.

If you look at the cave as a whole, it’s a dusty change in one of many branches.

But the change is clearly getting bigger and bigger.

It was still quiet, but those on the bottom floor were looking upwards little by little.

“Are reptiles still mainstream?”

[He is armed with rough and tough leather, and he wears hard armor at the tip of his whip-like tail]

What was reflected on the screen was a giant lizard.

The lizard, the size of a large dog, swung its whip-like tail over the heaps of bat corpses, tore our soldiers in half.

I feel it again, but these cave creatures, even alien life forms, are too strong.

“Now it’s not even close to the size of an insect.”

[right. Now it means that our species as a whole must evolve one step further]

We also increased the size.

Insects were no longer the base.

A higher, more evolved form.

No matter how sharp and flexible a lizard with a tail whip, he could not stand alone with many of our soldiers who had transferred the stout leg muscles of the giant toad to their arms.

The soldiers borrowed jaw joints imitated from ants, their mouths wide open on both sides, and hard teeth embedded in them.

“In the end, it’s the same. To be honest, if you want to face us, your opponent must also be at the corps level.”

Contrary to the tension, the result was one-sided.

As long as there are no physical differences, no number of opponents can defeat us.

It was as if much larger creatures, such as mantis and mice, were devastated by swarms of ants.

To stop the group, an equal ‘group’ had to come.

[The 8th floor was already in chaos even before we entered. In the end, even the native creatures of this stairway could not even resist properly and were forced to become food for our corps.]

So we crossed the eighth floor, devastated by bats, and entered the ninth floor.

[Look at those. Giant carapace spiders blocking our reconnaissance. But now they are just our prey]

Even the occupation of the 9th floor was nothing more than I thought.

Those gigantic spiders that once seemed like an insurmountable wall now seemed insignificant.

[Actually, the Legion knows how strong we are. Those who produced toads as a base. These are the ones who have been modified to enable ranged attacks based on the experience of the last time.]

New soldiers with strong bodies crawled on the ground and stood on their feet.

The body was firmly fixed, as if a self-propelled gun had a spade for artillery fire.

At the same time, the skin was torn, and the jagged bone thorns exposed its ends.

[They can produce thorns with certain nutrients absorbed from within. And the unique muscle organ adjusts to eject the thorn out of the body with high pressure. Now the thorn has been shot. It is a poison poison with extreme poison]

The thorns that flew through the wind pierced the spiders’ bodies.

Even if it had a hard shell, the poison thorn broke even that armor anyway.

[It still takes some time to stabilize the 9th floor. However, apart from that, the corps decided to try reconnaissance to update the map]

“Of course.”

It was lax since it was the first time, but we already knew the importance of reconnaissance.

The corps quickly placed the scouts on standby.

[And congratulations. You have cleared the tutorial by breaking through the 10th floor]

“…I forgot.”

[The next tutorial is Chapter 1. And you choose the tutorial reward]

The guy who said it was just a tutorial, but it was just a real battle, made a sudden declaration, and suddenly other contents started to appear on the screen.

Three rewards for dividing the liquid crystal into three.

[Reward 1: Right to kill a target once]

[Reward 2: 1000 Gold]

[Reward 3: One-time race preservation right]

“Hey, I have no idea what these are?”

I rubbed my eyes as I stared blankly at the letters.

As a reward, I expected some kind of food or samples, but somehow the contents were completely different.

[Of course it will. The tutorial rewards are the same for all players. Therefore, there is no reward suitable only for our species]

“What’s the kill right? What’s gold? The shop function isn’t open.”

[The right to kill is literally the right to kill. One day, when you meet a strong enemy. You can designate that strong enemy and kill them with question-and-answer dance.]

“…crazy.”

Just by listening to the words, I could tell that it was a hoax.

If so, it is absolutely right to save it.

The question is, is it right to choose the right to kill now?

“Is gold any use I know of?”

[If you want me to tell you in advance, please tell me in advance. At the end of Chapter 3, the Shop function opens. You will be able to purchase some items there]

“Is the right to racial integrity… a kind of escape capsule?”

However, after listening to the explanation, I can understand it.

Now was the time to choose.

Actually, I didn’t think about it for very long.

You don’t need gold that you don’t know how much it’s worth and you can’t use it yet.

The right to racial integrity could be a trump card for us, who can grow at the cell level.

But instead of worrying about a defeat that never happened, I thought it was right to struggle for victory.

“Go to the right to kill.”

[The reward has been paid to your inventory]

“Ah daga!”

And at that moment, startled by the tingling sensation, I looked at the back of my right hand.

A black mark was engraved on the back of my hand, which had never been said to be a tattoo in my life.

[Items should be consumed wisely. Our corps and you too. We cannot live without each other. The item should be used whenever, wherever, and at the moment of greatest need]

“…I wonder if I’ll ever be able to use this in real life.”

He moaned and rubbed the back of his hand.

In this case, there was a bit of regret that I would choose gold and sell it to get money.

[After stabilizing the 8th and 9th floors, the corps cleared the web and sent the scouts up to the 10th floor. After the tutorial, it is the moment to announce the full-fledged start]

The humming bgm has become more gloomy.

For some reason, I was a little nervous.

“Is it wide?”

[The map is being updated. But the corps was astonished. This is one of the many branches of the cave. The 10th floor that the Legion devoured was actually nothing more than a side branch in its many branches]

Click the History tab.

Among the records of the past, an article called the world beyond the world that was just created caught my eye.

[It was a moment when the justice of the world known to the Legion was expanded. They were shocked to learn that the territory they occupied was actually a handful of dust in this vast world]

“Are you depressed?”

[You still don’t know the Legion]

I just put a word on it, and then I heard a voice.

The Legion’s scouts explored this vast cavity.

This place is open like a hallway, but I soon found a ‘room’ next to it.

[The fact that vegetation is developing around flowing water is the same as before, but the scale is different]

The first thing I saw in the scene, subtly lit by the glowstones, was a gigantic twin-headed lizard with gleaming eyes from a huge and diverse mushroom colony.

The lizard was devouring frogs and nonsensical animals.

The problem was its size.

That lizard was at the level of a small car, and the frog it was devoured was larger than a large dog.

One of the two heads of the lizard, covered in blue scales, was directed at the scout flying in the sky.

And that moment.

“Hey!”

The spurred cypher flames filled the screen, and soon the screen went black.

[Can you see it? The vegetation in this labyrinth is not easy-going.]

“No, no matter what, does it make sense to breathe fire?!”

It’s not a dragon, it’s a lizard that breathes fire.

Of course, objectively speaking, the fire just got sprayed at best.

But that’s not what’s important right now.

[Are you afraid?]

“Rather than being afraid…it doesn’t seem like anything I put in right now won’t help…”

[That’s not a problem at all]

Because he was so calm, I felt like I was scared of the lizard.

[Seeking answers, thinking, modifying, and acting are all the Legion’s business. think about it If there is a god, do you think it is right to meddle and intervene like a polarized parent? All you have to do is create clues and variables]

“Is that really okay?”

[Don’t ignore them. Now the Legion is rejoicing. I am excited once again. They are food and nourishment. If you eat them, you can become stronger]

realized again.

The Legion never stops and there is no fear.

They have no concept of death.

When it dies, it simply returns to the colony as food to be reborn and fight again.

“My values about life and death and the soul are being shaken.”

[Someday you will be their values]

I just mumbled a word, but the letters that came to mind were meaningful.

someday Maybe someday, when they come to understand my existence and concept?

[Stairs 8 and 9 still have enough energy. With this stored energy, the Legion prepared for war again. The target is a fungal forest with the two-headed lizard we just discovered]

The corps prepared for war again.
