The next morning, I left the inn and once in Kalifornium, I went to Plumbum's via the mansion, using the gate that Eve had opened for me.

　Then, after fulfilling the promised portion (,) of my daily routine, I went back to the city of Actinid again and headed to the dungeon of Fermium.

　Unlike yesterday's Kalifornium, there was a line of adventurers outside the dungeon in Fermium.

　The cause of the queue could be found once they were in the dungeon, Cell said.

'Hey, look,'
That's Lyota Sato: ......
The strongest level 1: ......

　The adventurers were buzzing at my appearance.

　I'm used to the attention I get when I'm out in places with lots of adventurers, which is something I've been getting more and more of these days, but there was something a little strange about it.

　It's not that I'm getting ...... attention.
　It's more about something else that feels strange to me.

　I got in line, trying to figure out what it was.

　I look around and get in line.
　The line goes smoothly, and eventually it's my turn, and I enter the dungeon.

'Mwah!'

---1/2---
Level: 1/1

--------- ...

　As soon as I entered the Fermium dungeon, a status appeared in front of me.
　The statuses were completely familiar and full of SS, but there was one difference.

　The level was different from the usual display, it was flashing.

'...... Is the level fluctuating or is it a level-restricted dungeon?'

　I've tried to imagine a few possibilities.

　If it flashes there, that means there's something "there".

　So it could either change, or it could be limited.

　The fluctuations are basically down, but not without a pattern of going up.
　I'll ask you later on which one it is.

　But more importantly--.

Nobody, huh?

　I looked around the dungeon, no one was there.
　I turn around behind me, no new adventurers seem to be coming in.

'Sarfa, right?'

　I was pretty sure this one was clear.
　It's a sulfa system where you enter from the same place and are sent to different spaces.

　The difference with the Aulum is that the Aulum also flies the adventurers who enter, but you can see that they are sent somewhere that is not the entrance.

　Sarfa and this Fermium are right at the entrance as you enter.
　But the reason why no one is entering is that they are in different spaces.

I see. ......

　Tweeting and bracing myself, I head for the door.

　Not a door, but a gate?

　It's shaped like a door, but a door?　part of the room is missing.

　I walked through it and entered the same "room" as the first one.
　The room was crawling with giant spiders, about the size of a small car.

　But that's not all.
　Beyond the swarm of spiders was a door, which was closed.

　The same shape - and I was surprised when I turned around.
　The door I had just entered was also "closed".

　There shouldn't have been a door part, but it was closed.

...... first.

　I calmed down and pulled out my gun and released it.
　First I fired a normal round for a small check.

　Keen!

　What a surprise, the body of the spider bounced a normal bullet.

　The bounced normal bullets rose to the ceiling and sent sparks flying.

''Then!''

　He got fleshy, clenched his fists and punched them.
　First, 50%, another small check.

　The spider was blown away, but my hand zinged.

'Hard,'

　The spider that was punched away got up quickly, doesn't seem to do much damage.

　It's only about 50%, but it's a force SS.
　It's not often you can hit with it and not do much damage.

　The spider in front of me was quite hard - and fast.

　I felt the spider rustle and gather around.
　I dodged them by darting in the direction of nothing.

　Swapped guns, went from a regular gun to a +10 gun.

　Loaded with the same round, and fired.

　The bullet didn't bounce, but it didn't penetrate either.
　It was just engulfed in the spider's body, and it lost its power.

　＋Even at +10, regular bullets weren't enough.

　This time I fired flameless bullets with two pistols.

　I shot out a flame that was invisible and fixed in space, and guided the spider into it to hit it.

　The spider, whose leg had been burned, staggered for a moment, but it didn't mind and rushed forward further.

　It's quite hard and quite tough.

　That's one, two, three ...... eight in all.

　It's tricky.

　However, they are not in the realm of small fry.
　They're hard, tough, outnumbered and strong, but they don't feel threatened.

　I took a deep breath, kept my distance, and fired a series of +10 penetrating bullets.

　I shot eight of them in the head one after another, but they still came at me.

　It seems that just shooting through their heads isn't enough.

　If it's the head - I was momentarily distracted by a spider that was closing in on me.
　The huge body pushed me down, and what looked like drool was dripping from my mouth.

"--!

　I quickly twisted my head and ducked, drooling - I heard a disgusting sound of "Juuuuuuuuuuuuuu" as the poisonous liquid dripped onto the ground.

　I kicked the spider away and shot it with +10 growth bullets.

　Even with growth bullets, it was a toughness that required two rounds.

　After all of them fell, one of those entrance tickets dropped from each of them.

　And the doors in front and behind opened.

　I see.
　Is it the type of game where you can't move on to the next one without wiping out the monsters in each room?
