Chapter 78

On the night when the Extra Dungeon, the "Isolated Magic Tower," appeared, the talk shows were all about it.

"As you can see, a structure resembling a dungeon has suddenly appeared. However, there are several points that differ from regular dungeons. While normal dungeons typically appear underground, this dungeon has appeared on the ground in the form of a tower. Furthermore, upon investigation, it appears there is no gate, making it impossible to enter. There are also several other points of concern—"

I and Hana were watching the reporter on TV together.

"A dungeon that appeared on the ground, huh? It's certainly mysterious."

"…Yeah."

I nodded at Hana's words. I know it's the Isolated Magic Tower, but I don't understand why it appeared on the ground. If I can just enter it, maybe I'll find out the reason.

In any case, I have no choice but to challenge the Isolated Magic Tower. I'm in good health, so I plan to go tomorrow. However, I do have some concerns.

First, I've never been the first to challenge a dungeon after it appeared. I usually tackle dungeons after gathering enough information and making thorough preparations. Of course, even then, I sometimes encounter irregular situations like the nameless knight in the Kenzaki Dungeon, but those are quite rare.

This time, I will be tackling a dungeon with no information. I need to prepare as much as possible.

I don't even know if it can be cleared in a day. I should probably bring food and other supplies. In such cases, an item box is quite convenient. And there's something else I need to do… report it.

"Hana, I'm sorry, but I might be away from home for a few days starting tomorrow."

"？ Where are you going?"

"That's… a secret."

"！ Could it be you got a girlfriend!?"

"No, that's never happened before."

"S-Sorry, big brother…"

For some reason, Hana is seriously apologizing. I'm not angry, so it's a bit strange—aha.

After a moment, Hana spoke again.

"How many days exactly? The dungeon training is coming up soon. Will you be back in time for it?"

"Ah, right, that's coming up…"

The training Hana needs to complete to get her official adventurer's license. Accompanying guardians are allowed, and I want to go with her if possible…

"I can't guarantee it, but I'll do my best to be back in time."

"Okay, I understand. Well, I learned a lot from you guys last time, so I think I'll be fine even without an escort."

"Hey, don't get complacent in the dungeon."

"Got it!"

With that, we ended our conversation, and I decided to go to bed early to prepare for tomorrow. I was half excited and half anxious about what awaited me in the Isolated Magic Tower, and I fell asleep.

The next day, I went shopping at a store for adventurers before heading to the Isolated Magic Tower. I intended to make as many preparations as possible. I planned to use up my savings, which already exceeded 50 million yen, to buy everything I thought I would need.

Health recovery potions, magic recovery potions, ultra-explosive stones, and a short sword. With these, I should be able to handle a wide range of situations.

After shopping, I headed straight to the Isolated Magic Tower. It's about an hour from my house, a huge tower standing alone in an uninhabited natural area. People from the Adventurer's Guild and security personnel were surrounding it.

"Well, it's natural to investigate something that suddenly appeared like this… I'll have to be stealthy."

I moved to the edge of the tower using stealth. If there were any high-level detection skill users, I might have been spotted, but it seems I didn't have to worry about that.

"This should be far enough."

I took out the ticket to the Isolated Magic Tower from my item box. You can only challenge it once. Without hesitation, I tore the ticket.

At that moment, my body was enveloped in a faint white magic.

"Let's see what this much-anticipated Extra Dungeon is all about."

Immediately, the teleportation magic activated, and I entered the Isolated Magic Tower. Thus began a hellish few days.
