Over The Infinite

-1-

Dark, drifting dark everywhere.

The feeling that the body and the spirit disappear themselves, as their form remains vague and gradually dissolves into darkness.

How much time on earth is it drifting like this?

I can't see a thing even if I stare. I don't even know if I have eyes in the first place.

I can't move one limb. I don't even know if I have a body in the first place.

As it was, I felt like my very existence was gone.

Does this mean that he will die?

I can't even remember how he died anymore.

I can't even remember who I was.

It was the first time I realized "it" when everything was going to disappear and go away.

"It" is a vortex of forces on a scale similar to that of the universe.

"It" is too gigantic a twist of soul.

The overwhelming presence was right around the corner, which would surely vanish if caught in "it".

Even though emotions and everything were about to disappear and disappear, it inspired fear.

Huge, overwhelming, primitive fear.

It was "death" itself.

It breaks my heart just to recognize it slightly.

Just being nearby melts my soul away.

The slightly remaining presence of "I" disappears without sound and is swallowed up by death.

In a fear that I couldn't resist, abruptly it happened.

Someone outside is trying to drag me out of the vortex.

Its power is terribly rampant, forcing its half-associated soul to drag it out.

The pain of being torn apart strikes me.

It's not physical pain, it's pain that directly chops up the soul itself.

I can't even scream, I just get drunk by torrents in the storm and let them experience the feeling of being torn apart in several ways.

That was very similar to the process of gathering the drooling clay and forcing it to consolidate and rebuild.

The "I" I could do was terribly distorted, with something extra on it, but now I'm forced off that extra thing and shaped.

As if it had become a factory product, I was able to do it in a mechanical process.

Oh, this is terrible.

What a terrible mood.

Was resurrection from death such a disgusting thing?

-2-

When I opened my eyes, I was looking up at the bright white ceiling.

"It's a ceiling I don't know...

I just wanted to say it for now. I'll tell you what.

Is this a hospital?

The unique irritant odor that seems to be from the drug is the same, but it's a different white space than the one I spent all my life in Heisei Japan.

White clean room, white bed, white sick clothes. The curtains for the partition are also white. The vase placed on the pillow is also white.

... Oh, am I dead?

I'm not sick, but I feel terrible.

It's a mess in my head, and I want to scratch it out directly.

I feel like I've had some terrible dreams, but I can't remember the content.

The last thing I saw was Mr. Chitta scratching my neck off and the look on his face.

Blood bled out of my neck. I couldn't stand...

... Has Tuna also been killed after that?

"Ha... Tachi evil.

Baptism is a bad taste.

I guess I was aiming to clear it for the first time.... Really, it sucks.

But will this clear for once? Though it's not really boiling clear at all.

Hey, you can give me a compliment. At least with Tuna, let's bless each other.... That's about it, I want to.

"... what time is it?

It's dark outside, but how long has it been since I died?

Is Tsuna being transported here too?

I have tons of questions, but I don't feel like moving.

I still have a ripped throat and when I move, I feel like I'm about to bleed out.

Even though I don't feel that way when I touch it with my hands, I feel like I even feel pain.

If it feels like this, if it falls apart and dies, can't it move?

"Oh, have you woken up, Mr. Yuki?

It was the young woman's nurse who had been speaking up.

The outfit at a glance makes me think it's still a labyrinth city.

Are you an elf? If you don't have those long ears, you're actually a nurse about to believe me even if I say so in Japan.

"It seems like the first time, so I don't think we can swallow the situation yet, but this is a hospital.

You died in the dungeon and have been transferred here. Is your consciousness clear?

"... Yes. I generally understand.

"Some people are confused for the first time, so please stay here until you take your time and calm down.

If you really need it, I'll prescribe you a tranquilizer if you let me know.

Luggage and other items are in the side cage, so don't forget to take them out when you are discharged.

When I looked beside the bed, there was a cage with my stuff in it. It looks like the weapons, the gear, whatever we got in the dungeon are intact.

Does the trial dungeon have no loss?

"Uh... and hospitalization expenses and procedures...

"It's a death in a dungeon attack, so there's no cost. If you're a registered adventurer, there's no process, so you can go straight home when you're settled.

Whatever it is, I have no problem staying here this evening.

If you need anything, ring the buzzer on your pillow, because the doctor will be here shortly.

Take care, the nurse went somewhere.

It's a somewhat dry response, even though he's not an injured or sick person, but he's the one who was dead until just now. I want you to be a little more gentle.

This must be very common in labyrinth cities.

"Oh......

Defeat the upper body that was awake to the bed.

... well, this is death.

As far as it goes, this is tight. That sucks. There's no such thing as a memorial exam.

This is the wall that adventurers need to overcome. Is it an absolute condition to keep going?

I can clearly say that people who are not prepared to do anything can't possibly get over this again and again.

You're going to taste it again and again, and that's certainly a tight precondition, as Chitta said. This is not strange to break my heart.

But I'm not going to break it in here.

I threw them all out to get what I wanted. There is no such thing as an option to throw it away here.

I... I'm fine. I can do it.

"Was Tsuna okay?

Wouldn't you be heartbroken...... no, you don't.

Somehow, but I feel like Tuna is kerosene even if she dies somehow.

Wake up, I'm going to get dressed and discharged as if nothing happened. I can't imagine you blocking it with this kind of load.

Instead, he's going to jump and wake up and hit Mr. Chitta. Say "nya" or something.

"Did you call him?

"Wow!!

I was called out unexpectedly, and I had a weird voice.

When I looked up, there stood a familiar figure. The gear is worn out, but he's the look of his partner who attacked the dungeon with him.

I just admitted to that appearance and felt relieved that I was just a little hoarse and in a frayed mental state.

"Did you call me by my name?

"Oh, yeah, it's nothing.

"Fine, but are you okay, you? You look pale.... Is it obvious because he was dead?

"No, I'm not sick.... I feel terrible though.

"Right.

Tuna sits straight in the chair by the bed.

Even though I died first, Tuna already looked pimped. [M]

This partner thinks this kind of mental place is out of the picture.

Really, what kind of mental structure is that? I want to peek into my head, what a good word to say, but I don't want to see it as an environment where I'm actually going to see it.

"Can I ask what happened after that?

"Hmm? Oh, uh.... After you were beheaded, we had a one-on-one situation with cat ears, but you're a strong intermediate adventurer.

"That's right. The first status and skills you showed me were completely different from ours. My knife was bounced off the HP wall, too.

The walls of HP and defense were too thick and didn't seem to go through any damage.

As for the feel, I felt stiffer than that minotaur. I wonder if this is the difference between LVs.

"No, I was there for once. Looks like HP wasn't down. Cat ears were surprised.

"Uh... it is. Something's wrong with me. I was very aggressive.

"Awesome. So, my attack doesn't go through at all. If I did it, it would have moved fast and I couldn't make it up to it, but I would have guessed a few times with a method of warfare that made me cut meat and break bones.

No, I think that's more awesome.

... If it's not a flying thing, can you hit that speed? I didn't see him, that guy.

"If I was shooting, my weapon broke, and I couldn't help but throw it on my back and beat it to the ground and it didn't go through the damage.

The joint technique would work, but when it was attached to my arm, I managed to remove the joint. Maybe it broke.

So, go on, Chalk Sleeper. I got out of the decision, so I hit the Minotaur axe in a big battle to regenerate death. You were still pimping.

"What, did you swing that thing around? Or even if it doesn't go through the damage, the joints can come off.

Sure, if you ask me, I feel like I would go through with arthroplasty.

That may only mean something to an external attack. There was no way I could try that.

And the axe, that, that was half a joke. I used it.... I could use it.

"I think it went through some damage with the axe. I wish I could have made up my mind about that, but it feels like a boulder active.

You were alert with an axe of articulation or minotaur, or you came to a definite end with some kind of long-range attack subject like a punching needle or a throwing knife.

I finally stood full of creativity. Those cat ears, seriously, they're very popular.

Why are you fighting? I'm supposed to be literally different.

"With a knife or a needle, I became like a whole body halibut, and I finally caught him and took a mount position, but even if I waved the remaining hand axe down, it wouldn't do any damage.

Even if it doesn't go through the damage, I guess it's frightening.

I'm scared of being able to slap the axe on my face so many times, just imagining it.

"So, remember what that cat ear said on the second layer, and when I bit him with a critical aim, he bit off his finger.

Looks like it was critically corrected for my out-of-column skills called "The Hunger Beast."

It's a little hellish painting, like being laid by a bloody man with a full body halibut and getting his fingers cut off.

I'm starting to get a little scared of watching videos.

"So, something critical came through, so I ate my neck like that and I cut it a thousand times, and I finally died.

"What!? You won?!

What's that?! What the hell is that!!

"Ouch. I was in a terrible situation.

"Oh, yeah!? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't care.

That's a hell of a giant killer.

"No, actually, it sounds like a feat. Speaking of feats, it's already a feat by the time you defeat Minotaur in your first challenge, so are you.

"Oh, yeah, uh. I'm sure that's true, but compared to what Tsuna did, it's kind of sumptuous.

Besides, the same goes for Tsuna, who defeated Minotaur.

"Say stupid. The lizard old man, the minotaur, those cat ears, they wouldn't have defeated you without you. This is a victory for both of us. Tighten your chest.

"Ugh... yeah.

Something tells me that the word is mentally weak.

... I don't know what to do, I'm going to cry a little.

-3-

Then I met the dungeon master, he invited me to dinner, there was another former Japanese, wooden knife, tuna can and all kinds of shock remarks, but what's with being in the hospital room for so long, I changed and left the hospital for now.

"I don't know the way.

Unlike during the day, I didn't go to the hospital on my own in the first place, so I don't know the way at all.

It's almost night and the crowd is sparse. There are also many places where the shutters are closed.

It's night, so I thought I'd been sleeping for about a day, and it looks like it's only been about two hours since I got in the dungeon, and I've been surprised by a lot of things since just now.

"I only know between the hospital and the guild hall, too, but the dorm is next to the hall, right?

They have a promotion process or something, but they say it's fine tomorrow, and we'll just keep going back to bed today. Exactly tired.

"Well, I don't think I slept with that either. When I get to my room, I'm going to sleep like mud. Can you wake up?

It's only before 10: 00, but if I let it go, I'm confident I'll sleep until after noon. I'm going to fall asleep with unprecedented momentum, including in my previous life.

I don't know the exact time, but subjectively, I was in the dungeon for about 10 hours. In addition, there is battle fatigue.

Most importantly, the carelessness caused by the resurrection is terrible. The course said no penalty for trial dungeons, but I wonder if this won't heal for a couple of days.

"You know what I mean. It's not like there's a wake-up call, let's wake up first.

In the first place, I have a lot of questions about whether you want to put it in a different room, not your own, or if there's a ring bell.

Worst case scenario, you won't get away with the process the day after tomorrow. It took an average of six months to break through the exam in one day.

That's right. I made it through the test.

The power of the tuna was great, but I don't think I threw it away either.

... Can I think of something?

"Hey, I guess you're looking good for us.

I've fallen off a hidden event, but Minotaur has defeated me, and I wonder if I could become famous in a labyrinth city.

I still don't know what I need to do to make my wish come true.

We're going to look into that. As Tsuna says, the information may easily come true.

But either way, I guess I'll never go back to my parents' house where I left them.

I'm going to build and live in this city. [M]

"Oh, for now, for the shortest record repainting, because it's a Hidden Boss Destruction feat. The receptionist said it was a lot of money.

... Though, you shouldn't be alarmed. All we saw was the entrance to the labyrinth city.

In the top rank, adventurers and monsters alike seem to be haunted by monsters.

"Right.

What floats behind your brain are lizard uncles, Mr. Chitta, and minotaurs.

Everyone of them was uninterruptedly strong and had power isolated from me, but lizard people were limited in power, and even Mr. Monster Titta was an intermediate lower ranker.

Minotaur is just a beginner's gateway to the dragon. Like it's good in RPG, later, it's not weird to come out with a miscellaneous fish enemy.

Yes, it's just a dragon climbing gate.

In that sense, we're both not even off to a start.

"The goal for now is the 100th floor.

"You were big again. You mean catching up with the top group?

It's just, I don't know, this feeling.

With Tuna, I feel like I can go high everywhere.

"Oh, that too, as soon as I can. That's a three-stair flying position.

"Like, should I be an adventurer that everyone in this city knows anyway?

In fact, I don't know how far I can go, but I feel like I can work hard.

Our life as adventurers begins here.
