Fear! Half-melted Crawling Humans In The Fourth Floor
"Ho-ho-ho-ho if you give the skill orb to me now, I'll kill you without suffering."
The next day. Tired of all the Thug Moves, I used Space Emperor Moves to knock giant cockroaches down into the acid hell. And the collected skill orbs. Come on, Shenron!

Skills.
[Strong Acid], [Agility], [Disease Resistance] 2, [Snatch].
Then, [Agility], which had reached level 10, evolved into [Super Agility].

But when I checked the status, the correction values were gone.
"What does that mean? I'm not sure, but I'm not sure. Accelerator! (Kiran)"

When I prayed for the activation of [Super Agility] with a glint in my teeth, I received a +10% correction to my agility.
When I tried to do a horizontal jump in this state, I could move faster than usual.
"I see. [Super Agility] is an activation-type skill. Its effect is agility +10%."
If I strengthened it this much, I wouldn't be afraid of the third floor. However, being a cautious person, I decided to raise one more level before heading to the third floor to be safe.

My ability values are steadily increasing, but I'm annoyed with my luck 3, which has remained unchanged.
I went down to the third floor and complained to myself.
"But slimes, cockroaches, and ratsthis is just like a sewer."
It is not a pleasant feeling to think a dungeon is a sewer connected to my refrigerator. And sick rats are attacking me. I want to get out of this dungeon floor as soon as possible.
However, the third floor was very severe.
The sick rats were quick and numerous. When one cries out for attention, other sick rats gather immediately. While fighting off the onslaught of sick rats several times, I was forced to retreat because I had used too much magic power.
So, while taking a break on the stairs connecting the second and third floors, I thought about it.
I could check my ability values with [Status], but I could not know my HP, MP, and endurance as numerical values. If something is not displayed, there is no way to know it.
It would have been nice to see a bar displaying life, magic, stamina, etc. in my field of vision, but as expected, the game did not seem to go that far.
So, I have no choice but to estimate these things by feeling. Therefore, I can't take it easy. If I misjudged my physical condition, it would lead to my immediate death.
"Was it premature to think that just because my skills were stronger than before, I would immediately move on? Okay, I should accustom the new skills a little more before taking on this challenge."
Reflecting on this, I decided to return to the dungeon front room and devote more time to learning the skills.
.
That is the dungeon front room.
"Know your skills, know yourself, and you'll have a handled war! No problem, by me!"
For the past two days, I have been studying my skills and exploring their possibilities. And I often went down to the third floor to repeat the experiment and deepen my understanding of the characteristics of the sick rats.

Skills
[Strong Acid], [Super Agility], [Disease Resistance 5], [Snatch].
As a result, my level increased by 2, and I gained 3 levels in [Disease Resistance]. But that's not all. I could find various ways to utilize my skills.
"Activate! Acid Smell!"
As soon as I arrived at the third floor, I activated a new magic, Acid Smell. This magic has no offensive power. It just has an acidic smell peculiar to acid. However, through my research, I discovered that sick rats hate the smell the most, and by spreading it widely, I succeeded in keeping sick rats away from me.
Brilliant! A triumph of science. Well, it's magic. Well, it's a skill, to begin with, so I doubt if it's magic.
But now that I had done this, the third floor would be a piece of cake. It was an event that made me keenly aware of the need for sufficient research and preparation. The third floor was also quite large and intricate, but I could avoid combat, so I could map it out with a little more time to spare. The search proceeded smoothly, and soon I found the stairs that lead to the fourth floor.
"Okay, I have completed the map of the third floor."
All that remained was to return to the entrance and head for the fourth floor, carrying a simple defensive formation. After carrying the simple defensive formation, I carefully descended the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
While the second and third basement levels had tunnel-like ceilings, the fourth floor was back to the same square passageway as the first floor. The dungeon was quiet, and there was no sign of any moving creature.
(Hmmm, it's quiet. Are there any monsters on this floor?)
I try to breathe hard and use all my senses, but still, there is no sign of any moving creature. I put on a gas mask, so my sense of smell is blocked.
At any rate, I set up a simple defensive position. Without this, I wouldn't feel safe at all. After quickly setting up a simple defensive position, I casually looked up to check the dungeon's depths, paying attention to my hands.
"Ugh!"
I was so giddy that my heart stopped, and I thought my SAN value had gone down.
Before I knew it, a naked, half-melted-looking person had crawled from the back of the dungeon corridor. Ugh, too creepy. And it was coming so close to me that I didn't hear a sound.
"Oh, Acid Shot!"
"Mibya~~!"
The naked, half-melted guy was hit squarely by the acid shot and melted to death. Hey, hey, what the hell is this guy? That is a complete horror story.
While I was confused and in a cold sweat, another one appeared from the back of the passage, even though it didn't have to come.
But this time was far enough away. So I saw the monster crawling on the floor to see what kind of monster it was.
Well, it crawled with its molten head, which had no hair as if it was scraping the floor. Its arms seemed missing from the elbows, crawling on its shoulders and elbows. And its back is unusually raised as if it was a backless man.
It is hard to imagine that it's in a serious state of mind, and it is almost as if it's making me crazy. The back of such a half-melted crawling man rises, and something like a tentacle grows.
"Ugh! Acid Shot!"
The sheer sickening feeling made me nauseous. But I couldn't be killed by that monster, so I forced myself to swallow the gastric juice that had risen to my mouth and fired an Acid Shot at the deformed creature.
"Mibya~~!"
"Geeohoho! Geogeeho!"
Then I hit the deformed monster in the back with Acid Shot, and it jerked back in pain. Then, the face that rub against the floor for so long became visible. But there were no eyes or nose, only a large, oddly shaped mouth.
And then the monster just melted away and died.
But then I finally understood that the monster, which looked like a half-melted crawling human, was a giant slug the size of a man.
