[WN] Shut-In : Chapter 67


Chapter 67

New


Translator : PolterGlast


I went down the stairs and headed to the eleventh floor.

While heading there, I didn't feel the kind of fear I had felt before.

I wonder if that was a skill or something that the Elder Liches had.

 

(Come to think of it... I hardly know anything about skills.)

 

It's a bit of a self-deprecating thing to say, but the knowledge I have is quite distorted.

I have the knowledge of a Wizard when it comes to magic, but I know almost nothing about anything else.

 

The only skills I have are magic skills for each element and mana recovery.

 

Certainly, each one may not have as much power as a gift, but it is expected that combining several of them will result in considerable power.

 

In fact, I've been helped a lot by the mana recovery skill.

 

Thanks to the mana recovery, which I've raised to MAX, I now have a lot of MP to spare (by the way, thanks to raising my LV to 10, I now recover 30 MP every 10 minutes).

 

Some people may have felt something was off, but that feeling is not wrong.

 

I thought that it would recover 2 at LV 1, 4 at LV 2... and so on, so I thought it would recover 20 at LV 10.

But in reality, it recovers 30, which is 1.5 times that amount.

 

Probably, there's something like a level cap bonus for skills.

 

That's probably why the power of LV 10 magic is so much higher than others.

Gungnir and Judgment Ray are probably rewards for those who were able to raise their LV to 10.

 

If I acquire several skills and raise all of their levels to 10, my overall combat ability should increase considerably.

 

If I can't do anything about raising my LV or stats in the future, the light may be in the skills.

 

But I don't really know how to acquire skills... Maybe I should try swinging a Skeleton Knight's sword next time.

But they say it's not good for amateurs to create strange forms... while I was thinking about that, the stairs ended.

 

"Is this... the eleventh floor...?"

 

What should I call the scene in front of me?

 

The eleventh floor is not a cave.

When I walked from the stairs, there was a precipitous cliff.

 

"Whoa, this is pretty high."

 

When I looked down cautiously, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything under the steep cliff.

 

I threw a coin down to test the height... but I couldn't hear the sound of it falling no matter how long I waited.

 

Is it incredibly high, or is it sent to another space by some mysterious power...?

 

Whatever the case, it would be better not to think that you can come back easily once you fall.

It must be extremely difficult to return once you fall.

 

The way to go from here is...

 

"There's no choice but to go through this, right..."

 

There, a path of light shining divinely, as if to dispel the darkness from the dim space, stretched out to the point where it was out of sight.

When I looked closely, it was a slope, and it was quite steep.

 

When I looked closely, the path of light was transparent, and I could see the view below through it.

Of course, I couldn't find any other path-like paths.

 

When I looked down at the bottomless cliff through the path, a strong wind blew against my cheeks.

 

"--Alright, let's go!"

 

If I were the me from when I was in Japan, I would have been too scared to move, but unfortunately, the current me has gone through many life-or-death situations.

 

I'm not going to lose my nerve by something like this.

Of course, I'm a little scared... but if something happens, I can just start over.

 

But if I use door installation on the eleventh floor, I don't know where I'll end up, so I think I'll have to do it from the tenth floor.

 

When I cautiously put my foot on the path of light, I felt a surprisingly solid reaction, contrary to its transparent appearance.

It felt a little soft, like asphalt.

 

There's no problem even if I put both feet on it.

The path width is about 3 meters, which is plenty of space, so I probably won't fall unless something really bad happens.

 

It doesn't seem like there's a time limit or cracks in the path of light... for now.

 

I was a bit nervous at first, but after I got used to it, I started walking along the path at a normal, brisk pace.

 

I walked while using Wind Search to check if there were any monster attacks along the way, but no monsters appeared.

 

I walked along the slowly meandering path for almost an hour.

 

I wondered if Sun Wukong, who was rushing to return to Earth, felt like this, and then a sudden change occurred.

What appeared in my field of vision was--

 

"A gate of light...?"

 

It was a huge gate of light that was clearly many times bigger than my body--.
