Chapter 5:

Humble Salaryman

["We, the Red Devils, have hijacked this kindergarten bus! You will now be educated as Red Devil fighters and reborn as monsters! Guhahaha!!!!"]

["Ooooh, ooooh! I'm scared, Mommy!"]

["Wait!]

["(thud!) Guhah! What the hell is this attack?]

["Smoothmanjuganigeruge! Let go of the young children!"]

["Who are you? Who are you?"]

["Strong decomposition with the power of acid! Strong acid! Warrior! (Shubaba!) Acid man!! (Boom)"]

I'm a simple businessman. But in my true form, I'm an invincible warrior with an amazing acid power in my hands. As I swayed on the morning commuter train, I was intoxicated with dreams of becoming a righteous hero and fighting.

However, my facial muscles may have been too relaxed amid such dreaming, and a young female office worker who met my eyes turned her face away with a very unpleasant expression.

(Ugh, I'm so embarrassed. I must have been too engrossed in my thoughts. My face was smiling.)

I cough one more time and change my face into an expressionless one.

Recently, since my refrigerator became a dungeon, I can't stop being amused and excited. The world of the game I played as a child is right in front of me. And now I can enjoy it as if it were real. How could I not be excited?

Of course, some dangers come with this, and if I'm not careful, I may even die. But on the other hand, the benefits are immeasurable. The more I work hard, the more I will be committed to the results. That is the dungeon, if I don't dive, I'm missing out.

In just one day, my muscle strength nearly doubled. My muscles are already muscular. When I get to the office today, I'm sure my co-workers will confront me about it.

But I don't have anyone close to me at work, and once I start working, I rarely have conversations with them. And since no one is interested in me, I can tell them I've gained weight recently if they ask.

Above all, I want to finish my work as soon as possible and dive into the dungeon again today. I want to try this and that. Because of that my imagination is inflated and unbearable.

That's why I haven't used the [Acid] skill yet.

It is not that I can't use it yet, but I dare not use it yet. I would like to use this skill brilliantly from the very beginning, without trying to test it out. So I thought it was necessary to learn more about [Acid] before using the skill.

It would not be funny if I got severe chemical burns from the acid I created.

So, I got off the train and dashed up the station stairs.

(Oh, great!)

Before, I would have been out of breath just doing this. But now, look at me. I'm fine! But that's no wonder, my agility has improved, and my strength has nearly doubled. That's why I feel so light! Feeling good, I arrived at the office, stamped my time card in high spirits, and went to my desk to start work.

.

But here, too, the benefits of the dungeon have changed.

["Katatatatatat! Katatatan! Katatatata!"]]

My typing has become incomparably faster than before. It's not a blind touch, but it's still quite fast. That is also a benefit of the dungeon, I guess.

As I was tapping away at the keyboard on my computer, someone called out my name from behind me.

.

9:00 pm. I was on the train and the bus heading home.

I finished my work early, but it was awkward to leave before my boss, who was still working overtime, so I went home at this hour.

The refrigerator is now a dungeon and unusable. So I got off the bus two stops ahead, stopped at a supermarket, bought a bargain box lunch and some sparkling wine, and headed home.

As soon as I arrived at my room, I took off my suit, put on a pair of pants, and dived into the refrigerator dungeon.

What I want to try today is improving my agility numbers at the higher levels. For starters, I'll use the springs in my knees and ankles to jump around on the spot. Then, reminiscent of club activities in my school days, I dash back and forth from wall to wall in a large front room as fast as I can. To finish, I did an endurance high-speed repetitive horizontal jump for three minutes, tiring myself until my lower body was stiff.

"Hahhahhahah~ I'll die"

Dizzily, I returned to my room and took a shower to wash off the sweat. If I put on my gear while sweating, my helmet and leather gloves, which I can't wash, will soon smell bad.

I would then spend the time I would spend lounging around drinking sparkling wine, eating, and studying to recover from the fatigue in my lower body.

Then it's time to go slime hunting.

Tomorrow I have to work again, so I'm going to try to get one more level tonight. It's no use being greedy, and I'd like to find out how actions that improve the status of one ability in one place will be reflected in others. I want to look into those areas one at a time.

.

Today, I pounded the slimes into the chlorine one after another with no change whatsoever, and after submerging 8 of them in the chlorine, my level went up.

Current Previous

Level 8 3

Race: Human

Strength: 22 22

Stamina: 20 18

Knowledge: 18 17

Mental Strength: 17 16

Agility: 20 16

Luck: 3 3

Helplessness: 141 123

"Oh! My agility went up by 4! Yay!

Now I can move twice as fast numerically compared to when I was at level 1. Wow.

But lately, my work at the company has been boring. Perhaps because of my lack of motivation in terms of ability.

It seems that I can't seem to find anything that I can do to make my efforts bear fruit and produce a tangible result. Of course, for those who compete against each other in terms of performance and quotas. They're working hard every month to meet those numbers.

However, I find it much more interesting and rewarding to develop my skills in the dungeon than to work hard in a company that does not give much recognition even if I do my best.
