The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I'm Taking a Liking to This Life

Take Momo and head to the neighborhood convenience store.

Until yesterday there was nothing. The roads were run-down.

At least there are no monsters around, but another thing becomes visible.

Corpse.

Goblins or oaks?

The bodies that were attacked, hurt and worn out were scattered over there.

"Wow... this is so gross..."

If I didn't have 'stress tolerance', I would have thrown up.

It looks miserable, but the smell was even more amazing than that.

Raw odor of meat and blood. My nose is going crazy.

Flies are gathered so that they can be attracted to rotten odors.

The woman's body was particularly bad.

He was probably assaulted just before he died.

"Woo......"

Momo seems quite popular.

Dogs smell far better than humans, so they'll be pretty tougher than me.

"Momo, are you okay? After all, you can go back and wait, okay?

When I say that, Momo shakes his head as he sifts and rubs his body against me.

It's okay, I think I'm telling you not to worry.

"Ugh, let's move on then"

"Wow."

Walk out again.

Would you have come about half way to the convenience store?

It's been a long time since I've been on the move.

There was a reaction to the hostility sensing.

At the end of the corner, I feel signs of a monster.

"Momo, stop"

With my voice, Momo stops moving pitterly.

Slowly approach the wall to see what is there.

"... is that a zombie?

There was a zombie.

A familiar zombie roamed the town in a pandemic film.

It just doesn't feel like the inhabitants of the town have become zombies.

The clothes you are wearing are worn out and the exposed skin area is rotten and sore.

Even if he bites and becomes a zombie, it won't happen in a day or two.

I mean, I guess that's a monster, too.

What happens if they bite you?

Are you gonna be a zombie after all?

Or does a zombie work a physical attack?

If it's a movie or something, my head is weak......

I observe the zombies.

The movement is dull.

Perhaps even a washing machine over the head would definitely crush it.

But unlike when I was a goblin, using a washing machine here is sure to stand out.

Best to just crush your head quietly.

We have to get through here, it's going to be quite a long way.

Fortunately, there are no other monsters.

Let's crush it.

"Do you want to use this..."

Removed was "Dumbbell (weighing 10 kg)".

It's not my belongings, it's the stuff the residents of the same apartment left behind.

As a blunt weapon, it would be a great ability to kill.

With my status now, I can hold it lightly.

Approaching unnoticed and now at once claiming.

The moment the zombies turn their backs on us, I run out all at once.

It's alright, 'covert action', and thanks to 'sneaky feet', my actions have not been understood.

Approaching suddenly and trying to shake the iron array.

At that moment, the zombie suddenly turned to me.

"Ahhhh...?

Maybe it was a coincidence.

I just changed directions occasionally.

But at that moment, my body got stiff by surprise.

Yabba -, it bites me, that's what I thought.

But surprisingly, the zombies stopped moving.

It's as if you were bound by something.

"What...?

In fact, you were right.

"Something black" was tying up the zombie's body and inhibiting its movement.

Thanks to an increased level of 'observation' skills, even in this situation, I was able to break the identity.

A shadow.

My shadow is stretching unnaturally, restraining my zombie body.

What's this all about?

I don't have this skill.

So, who did?

"Wow!"

Momo's voice.

No way. - Is that you?

There is no certainty.

But I thought it was somehow.

Momo runs and approaches me.

And as the distance between Momo and me shrinks, the power of the shadow that binds the zombies grows stronger.

The zombie was completely sealed of its movements and even his mouth could not move satisfactorily.

- If you're gonna do it, now's the only time!

I shake the iron array again!

Gosh, dull sounds.

The zombie fell on the spot.

"You've earned experience."

The announcement sounded in my head.

Looks like my head was weak after all.

Zombie corpses - No, it's weird to say corpses because they're dead from the beginning, but zombie corpses disappear.

A small red demon stone rolled.

Is the zombie demon stone red?

Quickly collect and store in item box.

Upon confirmation, it was marked "Zombie Demon Stone (Extremely Small) x 1".

Take it out again and show it to Momo.

"Look, Momo. Want some?"

"Wow!"

Momo was happy to eat the demon stone I gave him.

After I finish eating my momo, I ask Momo.

"Hey, Momo. Could you have helped me with that?

"Wow!"

Momo snorts, wiggling his tail pretentiously.

Lovely.

But I guess so.

"Skills of manipulating shadows".

I don't know the name, but maybe Momo has the skills to say so.

The most likely cause is the demon stone I gave it.

It's Shadow Wolf's magic stone. Shadow (shadow) What a name around, it's not strange if that dog had that hand skill.

Having eaten the Demon Stone made that skill live in Momo?

What do you think? I don't feel like a bad line as a discussion.

Do you want to try it?

"Momo, did you gain your skills earlier because I gave you the Demon Stone?

"Wow."

Yeah, well, I'm gonna rub my body.

Praise. Good luck, I think I'm saying praise.

Of course, compliments. stroke. Lovely.

Um, if you eat demon stones, you gain skills?

But I couldn't eat.

Is that just Momo?

Or other animals... or monsters or something?

But if this hypothesis is correct, it means that 'skills' and 'levels' exist in monsters as well...

"Momo, he just did, can you do it again?

"Wow!"

Ask Momo, my shadow changes shape and moves just like earlier.

It's a move that obviously ignores the laws of physics and common sense.

I've checked a lot, and the only shadow Momo can manipulate is either himself or me.

The effective range is approximately ten meters.

The closer you are to yourself, the stronger the power of the Shadow.

To say that instead of moving in 3D, you can only move like crawling over an object.

And 'shadow' restraints are broken if they are strong.

Try your best to resist with my current status and you can get out of the shadow restraint. It means it's not so versatile.

But you're pretty good at it.

'Manipulating Shadows' skills.

This goes very well with my "covert actions".

Approaching with 'covert actions', sealing movements with 'shadows', and crushing them with appliances.

It is a great combo.

After that, Momo and I have a brief meeting to resume our journey.

I ran into zombies and goblins about three times, but thanks to Momo's "Shadow" great work, I was able to defeat them without risk.

I just didn't get to the level.

I guess the experience gained by the type of monster is still different.

Plus, the level of experience you'll need to level up will increase.

And about twenty minutes after I left the apartment.

"Phew... you're finally here..."

"Wahoo..."

Finally we arrived at the convenience store.
