TL – Hey. Welcome to my first chapter. Please read my About Me. If you have any complaints on the translation, It doesn’t really matter since I spent several hours of my schedule to copy paste things, thus you should be thanking me for at least giving you something. And wow! I’m talking in a TL note! I finally made it as a translator!

TL2 – Yeah. I fucked up. This isn’t chapter 1. This is apparently one of the extra chapters in the light novel that they added and the author added it onto the web novel. Please disregard, I’ll move this chapter around.

○ Adventurer

Era Arkra and Hafu created the underground labyrinth.

The Labyrinth that appeared was not originally considered evil; the adventurers guild was careless in setting up parties and so it was not unusual for bandit outlaws to be imitating friendly adventurers. Within the Labyrinths, adventurers who experienced battle created new friendships and camaraderie to cherish. Successful adventurers who survived the initial Guild Executive to enter into the labyrinth were instrumental in training new and younger adventurers.

–Excerpt from the Adventurers Guild archives–

In a tavern of the city Bendoru, there spread rumors of an underground labyrinth among adventurers. Adventurers immediately left to solicit friends to form parties, toast to their success with beer, and then head to the underground Labyrinth; hopefully being able to have good luck in finding treasure and coming back alive.

In every successful adventure, the claimed treasure and jewels are cashed and split among the adventurers; to celebrate their success they would once again come back to the tavern

「Alright, today is my treat so drink lots and lots!」

Adiru treated all adventurers who are at the bar for liquor.

The other adventurers in the bar, numbering approximately 30 people within the bar also raised their wine cup with chant of, 「No more ordeal for us! Banzai!」

Adiru in unison also raised his mug which was full of beer.

「… You shouldn’t waste it.」

Adiru sits himself next to the thief Otto, who is drinking milk. Otto noted that his buddy spends his money way to lightly, which Adiru seems to seldom heeds his advice.

「Otto see, that’s fine. Earn money and spend money. It’s all about heroes!」

While listening to their exchange, the oldest person in the tavern, Raven, and minstrel, Levar, spoke of treasure they hauled while sipping honey wine Mead.

「The last centipede demon we fought was defending an emerald. Was it sold at a considerable amount?」

「Yes, that fight at the time was truly a such a great fight that it might be worth to write a song to be about it.」

Levar’s beautiful voice started to spin a song where they fought a demon lurking deep within the heart of the labyrinth. While listening to the song, many of the adventurers conversations quieted to whispers while to opt for hearing the song while drinking their wine.

「The earnings made are quite enough, but there is still that famed labyrinth treasure sleeping somewhere in there.」

「And don’t forget that spell book from the fallen magic empire in there as well.」

「And so, where should we explore next?」

「You should hear some of the stories from other adventurers.」

A merchant and a sorceress fixed their eyes on the next trip and begun preparation for their next adventure.

The young blonde Adiru stands up yells threateningly, that he’ll defeat the evil in the world. Adiru looks like he was in his mid-teens, still having remnants for a youth in his face, attracting other people with good looks and a charming atmosphere.

Adiru wore white armor which held the Saint crest of the Saint God religion engraved on it, at first glance it looked good but it seemed to be dirtied a bit by grime. He was further equipped with a one handed sword, as well as a shield, both which complimented his armor and seems to be in good quality.

In actuality, he was a self-proclaimed Paladin.

The self-proclaimed Paladin and the thief Otto found themselves in a stealing incident that would bond them together.

Otto lent his friend his support, who planned to become apart of the Holy Knights force. Otto hid his real face within his hood, only his eyes being visible. Otto’s thin purple eyes looked around eyeing around the tavern.

He had been busy as a wanted man, usually he would hide by stuffing his face with food.

The tall spear-wielding man, Raven.

Raven is a man of indiscretion, the eldest in his party being in his 30s. Raven has gray hair with green eyes, for a mercenary, he definitely looked much more good looking. The reason behind why he adventured was because he was commissioned to.

Raven’s client was Levar, the minstrel wielding a harp.

A girl wearing a red dress, with long chestnut hair. Levar sang songs worthy to appease the adventure-seeking stimulus of many of the adventurers

Clouter is a young blonde young man with a turban wrapped around his head.

Clouter’s native city is far away, where he had a business rival that drove him into the wilds. Clouter came to the Ferran Kingdom believing in making enough money to make a comeback. Thought he grew up in the cities, surviving in the wilds groomed him to be a hunter. In addition of being good with businesses, Clouter specialize in bows.

Lara, the one-armed witch.

Lara lost her right arm in a witch hunt that was lead by a Saint Kingdom, and it is customary for a witch to improve their skill in magic for the sole purpose of revenging the lost of their arm. Lara was born in a remote village in the Kay Donna kingdom, receiving persecution ever since she was a child.

Therefore the adventurers group she was apart of received a skewed attitude.

The adventurer group was made of four men, and two women. They challenged the Underground Labyrinth to satisfy their own desires, and succeeded in taking a part of the treasure.

It can be claimed that they are veterans.

But there were people who watched them.

One person, was a common-looking man with a medium build man and mediocre features with thin hair light brown hair and eyes.

He wore priests clothing, but did not brand the holy Saint God crest. On one of his hands, he wore a ring of amethyst on a finger.

Another of one is a woman hunter with raven-black hair, and blue eyes. Just like the man she also wore a amethyst ring on one of her fingers.

The man’s name is Derito.

The woman’s name is Lorna.

Their adventure in the Underground Labyrinth could be said to be more ruthless and they followed adventuring groups into the labyrinth for nefarious reasons.

「They seem like some nice bait」

「Yup.」

Derito and Lorna whispered to each other in the corner of the room, while soaking hard rye bread in soup to eat. Accustomed to eating in the underground labyrinth, the dishes on the ground weren’t quite the same.

You can use the magic tools bestowed from Aruaku, the owner of the underground labyrinth. Adventurers were taught how to fight demons, disarming traps, finding treasure, as well as reporting new areas or carrying out proposed improvement measures if necessary; their role is to explore the Labyrinth.

Before long, starts the bragging of Adiru to other adventurers about some of their stories in the underground labyrinth. While listening to their story, Derito and Lorna hear an adventurer giving him praise and admiration. However at the same time many of the rules set by the Labyrinth’s owner broken in his stories.
