He aimed for two House Centipedes in the front line and moved at once.

He felt his knife tear it off and penetrate its brain.

‘This is the first one.'

The other one responded at that time and turned its small fang to Haruki.

However, Haruki calmly rotated his body, pulled out the knife and accelerated.

He kicked the ground and stepped into the crowd.

He stabbed out his knife by holding it in backhand's way, but he missed his aim.

This was unavoidable as his back didn't have eyes.

But he didn't stop and pursued it with his left fist.

Without aiming he hit directly House Centipede's head.

At that moment.

"Wow!"

House Centipede's head was cracked.

‘It feels good when my left fist in contact with its carapace.'

‘House Centipede's carapace is hard.'

‘It should be resilient enough not be penetrated by the knife's tip.'

‘But I can break it with a fist.'

"It is because of growth acceleration, but that is weird......"

His diverted awareness returned to the battle and selected the next opponent.

This time, the opponents were three monsters.

House Centipedes' too long leg hindered them to shrink the encirclement.

Therefore, the limit of the simultaneous attacker from the same direction were two monsters.

Haruki faced House Centipedes while paying attention to attack from the ground, wall, ceiling, and whole area.

The fight with 5 house centipedes was easier than expected.

‘On the first day I fought with House Centipede, my breath become heavy just to kill one of them, but now it still stable even after I defeat 5 of them.'

‘In addition, I smashed one of House Centipedes' carapaces with my left fist.'

"This feels unlike my body"

Haruki frowned while gazing at his hand.

‘What does the person, who said house centipede is scary, think about my power?'

‘Someday, let's ask if I have a chance.'

The remaining one was not moving from the hall's center.

Perhaps it fainted when he hit it with a pebble. Quickly he stabbed its head with his knife while it couldn't move.

"As expected, it is thanks to growth acceleration..., isn't it?"

Haruki has never experienced such growth in just two days.

Haruki has become a beginner adventurer for two months.

In "Chika-ho", the most numerous among adventurers were beginners, and they constantly struggled to find monsters.

Therefore, even if they devoted them self for five hours, they were at most only able to hunt 15 monsters.

He hunted not less than 200 monsters by yesterday.

‘Is it possible my ability to hunt 200 monsters is due to my growth?'

‘Now, I have no way to prove it.'

‘In one day, I grew up to overwhelm House Centipedes.'

‘However, I will not grow at the same speed in the future.'

‘It is the same as RPG, the stronger I get, the slower the growth.'

In addition, for the current Haruki, his strength would reach its limit even if his physical performance increases.

‘At some point, I have to find a teacher for proper swordsmanship.'

‘There are many things that I want to do.'

‘However, I still need to advance.'

Looking at the knife in his hand, its blade was chipped considerably due to over hunting yesterday.

The leather armor wasn't broken but full of scratches due to House Centipede bites.

‘Let's focus to get new weapons.'

‘How much will I spent...?'

"Haa," a heavy sigh leaked out of Haruki's mouth.

"Okay!" (Yoshi!)

Recovering his spirit, Haruki subjugated the rest of House Centipedes.

The downstairs could be seen in the passage behind the hall.

‘As expected, this place was treated as a boss room.'

‘But, there was no boss......'

"There are things I want to confirm if the boss is here"

‘Well, I will confirm it thoroughly in the future.'

Placing the materials in the hall for a moment, he check the situation on the second floor.

"......but, before that"

Before descending, he summoned the skill board to confirm the points.

Skill Point(s): 0

"Do I not receive points even if I defeated monsters in the boss room?"

‘Is it because my opponents are weaklings?'

‘Or, will I still not receive it even if I beat the boss?'

‘Either way, I don't get any point even after I cleared the first floor.'

"Well someday I will receive it"

Certainly.

Probably.

In that way, as long as he gathered up his small hopes, adventuring anywhere would be fun.

It was enough to bet his life.

But as he could lose it one day, he only held his hopes lightly.

After he confirmed the situation, Haruki hummed as he headed to the second floor.

The second floor had the same kind of terrain as the first floor.

The area was expanded by 1.1 fold every floor down.

It seemed nothing, but if you dove to the 50th floor, the size would exceed 100 times compared to the first floor.

Even a small change couldn't be trifled.

The terrain directly changed starting from the 10th floor. The next floor onward was commonly called the middle tier.

Active adventurers in the middle tier are no longer beginners, but until now, those who can go down to the middle tier were only 10% of the total adventurers.

As adventurer business attracted everyone's attention, the floors' information on the middle tier onward was mostly not spread.

Even on the official blog, strategies for attacking middle tier and beyond didn't come out easily.

The price of materials from the middle tier was expensive after all.

The adventurers were treated as freelancers.

They were similar employees.

No one would intentionally want to teach rivals how to make money.

If it wasn't possible to earn money from middle tier materials anymore, the strategy would spread all at once.

If so, the proportion of intermediate adventurers would also increase.

Until then, information was firmly dominated by the strong.

‘They thought, "Because I was pioneered by risking my life, this kind of reward should be forgiven."'

‘Anyway, it's the second floor.'

‘What kind of monsters are coming out.'

‘It will be nice if it isn't House Centipede.'

As he slowly walked on the stairs, Haruki's eyes caught the long and thin leaves on the ground.

The ground was slightly swollen, and something white could be seen from below.

"What is that?"

As if reacting to his voice, the grass-like leaves vibrate left and right.

At that moment, a basketball-size round object jumped out from the ground.

'The roots stretched from the bottom its round body slowly moves.'

'There are thin vertical lines stretched out on its body.'

'As for its eyes, I can't found them.'

'It may be a type of monster that responded to sounds and vibrations just like House Centipede.'

Of course, Haruki has seen this figure before.

"......it's Onion!!"
