Arc 1 “Enjoying Student Life”

Chapter 1 “Prologue: When Hope Turns into Despair”

…… ―― Garagaragasshan!!

In the underground labyrinth, a lump of stones chopped into pieces fell with the sound. The identity of the chopped stone block is the stone demon beast… “Golem”.

A man who chopped a golem … Amamiya Souta turned to the huge gate in front of him.

He has shiny black hair and 181 cm, a slightly taller height of average. He wears thick cloth, a leather vest and a black hooded hood.

He became an adventurer in his childhood, and six years have passed. However, he was a solo player and had a long adventure without teaming up with anyone.

And he succeeded in reaching the huge gate, which is the final point of the Great Labyrinth, which is said to be impossible to capture.

“Haah … haah …”

And he stood in front of the door, looks a huge gate “ <ruby>Rakuen no Mon <rp>(</rp> <rt>Paradise Gate</rt> <rp>)</rp></ruby> ”.

“Finally … I’m finally here.”

He muttered with excitement.

<ruby>Rakuen no Mon <rp>(</rp> <rt>Paradise Gate</rt> <rp>)</rp></ruby> is a mysterious gate that is said to be able to go to the dream world that adventurers all over the world long for. Many adventurers head for this gate toward the world of dreams, but they are overwhelmed by the evil beasts and gatekeepers they come across along the way.

However, this man … Amamiya Souta turned away the attacking demon beasts and gatekeepers without changing his complexion.

“Is it almost 6 years since I started an adventurer? At that time, I was just a 10-year-old damn kid.”

He looked back on his life and gently touched the gate.

“Well, it’s time to find out how to open this gate?”

With that said, Souta carefully read the letters engraved on the gate one by one. However, the engraved letters contained a shocking facts.

“What it say… If you want to open this gate, you should use “Shinjitsu no Mahou”………” (T/N: Magic of Truth or True Magic? Or left it as it is? What do you think?)

The time of silence continued for a while. But it was too late when he learned this fact.

“W-what! W-what it says!? It’s Shinjitsu no Mahou!?”

Souta went mad enough to reverberate throughout this underground labyrinth.

No wonder. Shinjitsu no Mahou is a legendary magic that can only be learned by attending the Kingdom-run Magic Academy and mastering all the magic course.

Souta has been an adventurer since he was 10 years old, and he has never studied hard. Therefore, he cannot use Shinjitsu no Mahou.

In addition, Souta took about a year to capture this dungeon so far.

“Da! Damn it—!”

Souta’s hope turned into despair.

However, the wreckage of the golem that should have been destroyed earlier was regenerated when he saw it. No, is it better to say that it has been restored rather than regenerated?

“Chi! … There is no meaning for me to be here anymore!”

Souta left this place with clicking his tongue. But golems don’t allow that. It called its friend and chased Souta who escaped.

The number of golems has increased to 10 in total.

“Haah … haah … I’m glad I remembered it before I entered this labyrinth……… the transfer magic “Escape”!”

This magic is a forbidden magic that cannot be used again once it has been used. However, Souta, who thought that it is unavoidable to use this magic to save him, began to chant the spell.

And the moment he cast this magic, Souta disappeared.
