Prologue:
You might have heard of this place as did I when I was younger. A dangerous place from were creatures of nightmares arose from the deeps of darkness, eager to kill any weak human that stands in their way.
Babel Tower… that's the name of the entrance to the very pits of hell. Some would consider Babel as the first floor of the dungeon, but they were wrong.
The Dungeon… that was that dangerous place many sought to gain fortune and fame, even if it costs them a limb or an eye. Even back then I used to think the same way, that I would give up anything to achieve my selfish dream.
But not many people could venture inside a dungeon. Nope. It didn't matter if they paid great amounts of gold, they were lacking something that just a few like me were able to get, a kind of heavenly permission to fight and kill monsters roaming the floors of the dungeons… at the end, they weren't Adventurers.

How did I manage to survive so long…? even after being chased by that Minotaur and saved, how did I end up here?
But, somehow, I know that...
No one is going to save me this time.
I barely could stand up. My legs were giving up as I struggle to keep the dagger pointed towards my enemy… those giants made of stone and rock.
I never expected this to happen to me… twice.
"Haah…" I held my head barely high, my vision blurring. "Haah…"
«Swing! »
I saw the Knight raise its spear.
«Thrust! » «Crack! »
And darkness consumed me…
In the end, I couldn't escape death...
*°*°*°[IIWTSAD]°*°*°
«Chirp~! », «Chirp~! »
However, as the cold void of death was pulling my conscious deeper into the eternal slumber… I woke up in a hospital.
"Ugh— What on earth?"

"What is this?"
After that day, I received a new skill. A quest window that only I could see.
If I trained per my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise like anyone have seen before.
