IllyasArt Hello! This is my latest novel! Unlike my other novels, this one isn't finished yet. The first volume is finished, though. And you can buy it on Amazon here. If you would be so kind, you can also get the first volume(and anything else I've made.) on my Patreon for donating $10 or over that, here. If you wish for updates, the $10 and over tiers will give you access to chapters when I actually finish them. (Maybe one a day? Idk, as I will be mainly working on other novels as well. But, there will at least be one new chapter every few days.)
Chapter 20: Fallen.
*Celia’s POV*
The fall was further than I expected, but at least I survived it. Can’t say the same for my butt, since it is in immense pain at the moment. Holyshit… I actually lost over a hundred HP from that fall…
Ruina: “I would say that you should be more careful, but I clearly was the one who distracted you…” She said with a remorseful tone.
Celia: “It’s fine, I am still alive, after all. Now, where the heck am I?” I ask with a sigh.
Ruina: “From looking at the walls, I’d say that this is that dungeon that you were once in.” She replied.
Celia: “Really? Ah, and, so they are called dungeons. Cool! Though, you know, now that I have been outside of it, I am very confused on how that farm is connected to it…” I say with a thinking pose.
Ruina: “It wasn’t.” She said.
Celia: “Huh!?” I exclaim.
Ruina: “That tunnel was made by the higher beings, to put you in a place where you could get more Exp. The tunnel was connected to a portal. In reality, that fish farm is currently a few hundred miles away from here.” She explained.
Fuck… These fuckers have been messing with me more than I originally thought… One day, and just out of spite, I will kill them! Or maybe, just pray that they stub their toes, or something along those lines.
Celia: “At least these crystals still light up the cave.” I say with a sigh.
Ruina: “It’s good that your way is lit up. Now, please take out some of the items from the pouch that Yona gave to you.” She said.
Celia: “Huh? What do you mean? This pouch must be completely empty. I mean, it is so light...” I say with a confused tone and expression.
Ruina: “That pouch has spatial magic placed on the inside of it. On top of that, it has a magic seal on it that prevents the Inspect Skill from working.” She said with a giggle.
Celia: “…”
Now I feel like an idiot… Untying the small ornate rope around the pouch, I then stuck one of my hands inside of it. Oddly, I could sorta “feel” what was inside of it. There was around thirty different meals for me to eat, as well as various weapons. Thinking of taking a sword out of the pouch, I grabbed on to what I assume is the handle, and then I pulled.
What followed was almost comical, as the sword was pulled out of the pouch by me, it was extremely weird that such a big sword would be able to fit in a small pouch like this… Anyway, grabbing the hilt of the sword with both of my hands, I lift it up like a hero in a fantasy story.
Not! I lifted it up over my head, and then the sword, and me, fell backwards. This event caused Ruina to break out in laughter. I can pick it up, but it is just far too big for my child body at the moment. With a red blush on my face, I put the sword back into the pouch, and take out a short sword instead.
Giving it a good swing, I can actually use it quite well. Not! Look, I was a goddamn teacher for crying out loud! I have no goddamn idea on how to use a sword. If I was to fight with it, my fighting style would just be me aimlessly swinging my sword around…
Ruina: “Would you like for me to give you a swordsmanship Skill?” She asked.
Celia: “I thought that you couldn’t affect the System anymore?” I ask with a head tilt.
Ruina: “I was reinstated. The reasoning being, because they wanted to see what would happen if a System with a unique personality, continued to help its user. Ah, I was even given some of my memories back as well.” She answered.
Celia: “I don’t trust those people. Besides, if you were going to give me Skills like candy, then I would just selfishly ask for them all.” I say with a shrug.
Ruina: “A very wise decision.” She said with a happy tone.
Celia: “I am just being spiteful, why would it be wise?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.
Ruina: “I could give you every Skill, but you would die.” She answered with a serious tone.
Celia: “Why!?” I yell.
Ruina: “Because doing so would sacrifice parts of your soul. Meaning that it would take years off of your life just for me to give you one skill.” She replied.
Celia: “…”
That is… a very terrifying thought. To think that I was actually just joking, and was totally going to accept her offer. That is until I just now heard what the cost would be. To help with my unease, a Primal Goblin showed up.
With these kinds of Goblins, they don’t seem to care about kidnapping cute girls. So, I truly only have to worry about them trying to kill me. The Primal Goblin approached me with a makeshift shitty looking dagger.
I readied my short sword, and waited for it to attack me. It lunged at me with intent to kill, but I managed to dodge it. As I dodge, the Goblin ended up with its back to me, and taking that chance, I used my sword to slash its back.
The sword cut through the Primal Goblin like butter. And far more blood was sprayed around than I originally assumed would. Luckily, I did not get any blood on me at all. Even so, I didn’t drop my guard. Oddly, the Goblin just fell to the ground, and stopped moving.
This Primal Goblin shouldn’t be smart enough to lay a trap like this, but I still went towards it with caution. Poking it with my sword, the fucker was actually already dead…
What the heck!? I just slashed it one time… Why would it die just from one cut from my short sword? I was nervous, so I used Inspect on my Sword.

High Quality Evaclearian Short Sword: S Grade.
:Effects:
56+ Strength.
Occasionally Inflict Bleed.
:Description:
A sword of very high quality, forged in the kingdom of Evaclearian. With a bluish tint to the blade, even ghosts can be slain with it. Such a sword is unlikely to be chipped, or damaged by anything less than a Dragon.
The sword’s handle is wrapped in the finest fabric found in the Elven lands. The metal was sourced for the Dwarven lands.
______________________________________________________________________________
Okay… that’s good! I was worried that Yona had given me an overpowered weapon, but that Goblin only died because the Bleed Effect activated on the poor lad. Taking a dagger out of my pouch, I sliced off the Goblins ears, and cut out its fangs.
While exploring this Goblin dungeon, I can collect their ears and fangs, so that I could fund my trip to Yona’s kingdom. Going by the Emblem that she gave me, which I just now safely stored inside the pouch, I can only assume that she is a noble of some kind. Something which I find interesting!
Anyway, I guess that I should just explore around? It’s not like I WANT to be in this dungeon. Clearly, the dungeon wants me, not the other way around. Wait… that sounds so damn wrong…
Ignoring my accidentally inappropriate comment, I went further into the dungeon. To what wonders await me, only excites me more, and more!
