Trial and Error

Translation by Solistia, Edited by Creed, and GeekyOtaku36

Inside a dark cave, I was flabbergasted by a strange reality. I­in any case, I should go over 

everything one more time just to be safe.

First, I was run over by a truck on my way to work. That much is true.

But after that it all gets weird. After I woke up in the cave――I became the dungeon? It sounds 

more than a little absurd, but I could instinctively feel that it was so. That I had become the 

And then――above all else, there was this panel: ──────────────────

────────────────── Dungeon Name: Shoutarou Sagami

Number of Non­biologics: 0

Number of Dungeon Skills: 0

DP (Dungeon Points) Remaining: 100 ────────────────────────────────────

It was kind of funny how...considerate the line ‘Dungeon Name: Shoutarou Sagami’ was.

The skills kinda seemed like something from a game. After I got hit by that truck did I...wake up 

Come to think of it, there was a web novel I read last year like that. If I remember right, a guy 

reincarnated as some kind of hero, and saved the world...or something like that.

Then maybe I also.........no, there's no possible way I looked like a hero. I mean, what kind of 

joke was this, to be reborn as a dark and dreary cave?

Haaa. I still laugh, even though I don't have a mouth.

Yeah, okay! Getting depressed won't solve anything. It's not like it's set in stone that I can't get 

back to my old world. There may even be some yet unknown way to do so! I'll just have to try a 

Glass is half full time. Snapping myself out of poor moods has always been one of my best 

qualities. Right now, I should try to mess around with the panel that was in front of me.

Should I pray that everything will turn out fine? I focus myself on the Number of Rooms and 

Number of Levels. When I do, a new panel appears. ────────────────────────────────────

1 Block Excavation, Required DP: 1

Add Level, DP: Insufficient Amount of Rooms

Remaining DP: 100 ────────────────────────────────────

Aha, so this can expand the dungeon? And the needed DP――that's the Dungeon Points, 

To test it, I tried out the 1 Block Excavation. I watched closely and crossed my fingers. And 

Please select the region.

With that pop­up, a rectangle of pale light formed. The width and length were 1m (3ft), and it 

was just about as tall as the cave's own height.

Can I move this thing like a computer mouse? I focused on it, and I was able to move it around 

freely. For the moment, I put it by a wall near the center of the cave, and think:

The change was instantaneous. All the rock inside the rectangle vanished, and an empty was 

Ooo, this is amazing! I wonder if I should keep expanding like this?

Next, I look at the placeable objects and drops. ──────────────────────────────────── Optional Biologics

Wooden Arrow Trap: 10DP

Rockslide Trap (very small): 15DP

Remaining DP: 99 ────────────────────────────────────

I see...so that's how monsters and traps are made. I guess so raiders will have some obstacles 

to overcome? And the drops are the rewards for the raiders? It's not like I could wear or use 

Urgh, my DP went down a little. From that little excavation I just did? I see, I see. If I make a 

bunch of things, it'll consume the DP. I'd best make sure not to waste any.

If the DP can decrease, then there must be ways of making it increase. Perhaps there has to be 

a certain amount of progress for it to increase.

I didn't have any Dungeon Skills or Titles. Probably because there wasn’t really anything here 

yet. And what the heck is a Dungeon Skill anyway?

And my designated rank is Z­. A Z­negative, is it... I have no idea what the upper ranks are, but 

even I can tell that is ridiculously low. I wonder if it'll increase if the dungeon gets bigger?

Well, nothing I can do about it now. First I need to figure out how to increase my DP. If I had to 

guess, it would probably be defeating raiders.

In that case, I should put down a trap. I'll make the dungeon bigger after I get more DP. Until 

then, I'll make do with this one room. 

The cheapest damaging trap is the Pitfall Trap...but that doesn't seem very reliable. Instead, I'll 

get the Wooden Arrow Trap. I then select the Wooden Arrow Trap from my panel.

Wooden Arrow Trap: When stepping into the target area, a physical attack will be delivered by 

Hmhm. This would be good to start with. Then, a pale light square, 1m (3ft) on all sides, 

emerged from the ground. I could also move this one freely.

And so it looks like this would give me a preview. I was thankful to be able to modify its 

placement before finalizing. 

Now then, where should I place this? If I just put it somewhere random, it won't do me any good. 

I've gotta think carefully about it.

(Mwahaha, I thought this might happen, but all I have to do is read the trap placement manual!)

I smirk, self­satisfied. Actually, I don't have a smirk, that was a total lie...I just wanted to try 

Also, there is no manual to read, but I vaguely recall a serialized manga I read in a magazine 

once had an effective trap setup.

I don't know if I even remember it right, but I should at least give it a shot. I use 3 Herbs and 4 

Haha, this is great. The preparations were complete, and I had 44 DP left.

I realized night had fallen. In the dungeon, the rocks all had a faint glow about them, so it wasn't 

pitch­black. I wondered if this was just another quirk of the dungeon.

All right, now I just had to wait for prey to enter the dungeon! ......Wait a minute. Now that I think 

about it, how exactly do you attract prey to your dungeon? 

I had a bad feeling, but I decided to sleep first. I had to sleep at times like this, as I was 

exhausted after all that work.

Just as if I was closing my eyes, my vision turned itself off. A story about a sleeping dungeon 

sounds really weird. And while thinking about that, i drifted off to sleep.
