《0 damage assassin》


 Interrogation

    "Can you tell me what happened?" (Interrogator)


    "I was in my guard duty like I normally have done." (Guard)


    (Yeah right. You were gambling with your fellow guards. Probably it wasn¡ät the first time.) (Main lead)


    "Why then every document was gone?" (Interrogator)


    (He is controlling his rage well. He gets passing mark from me.) (Main lead)


    "They were just gone before I noticed." (Guard)


    (That was bad answer. He isn¡ät going to pass.) (Main lead)


    "That is all you are going to say. You are making this difficult to me to believe you. Can you explain any better?" (Interrogator)


    "Sure. I wasn¡ät only one guarding." (Guard)


    "Blaming others already!" (Interrogator)


    (It was about time to get angry.) (Main lead)


    "Do you have any idea what was in those documents which you were guarding? Of course you didn¡ät. We weren¡ät in this mess otherwise. Listen up. Those documents contained all information of all soon to mature noble childs. This information sells same as hot cakes. Anytime now they are going to ask information about others kids and they expect to get it here. Are you going to explain this to them? I am not, that for sure." (Interrogator)Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    (Guard is finally starting to understand seriousness of situation. I¡äm not blame either. Those documents weren¡ät stolen. They are in the drawer. It was well hidden but I noticed it easily. There is still one problem. It went broken. While guards were panicing they accidentally broke the drawer. Why this is a problem? It is because I can only deal zero damage. I can¡ät harm anything including broken drawers. Can you understand how difficult this it? I can¡ät break chicken eggs. This tells it all. Am I right?) (Main lead)


    "I will find them no matter what!" (Guard)


    "Of course you will. Rope isn¡ät going anywhere near my neck." (Interrogator)


    (I should help them. I was going to buy the information. It would become difficult to explain why I know so much without buying it. So troublesome.) (Main lead)


    "Sorry about close notice but I came to buy the information of the new students." (Main lead)


    (They were suprised about sudden third party. I choosed to reveal myself normally. They should get used to it soon.) (Main lead)


    (Writer¡äs note: They are not. Suprising?)


    "I noticed next-room was search by someone. Unfortunately to those people there was hidden drawer unnoticed by them. I think it would be bad for me to open it myself." (Main lead)


    It came to no suprise that they became eager to open it.


    "Can I buy it?" (Main lead)


    "No! You are welcome to simply welcome to take a copy of it. That is least that you deserve. My name is principle Howard. What is your name?" (Interrogator => Principle Howard)


    "Your friend neighborhood passerby." (Main lead)


    (As I started to escape I dodged someone coming from behind.) (Main lead)


    ¡±Sell that to me! I must destroy all evidence of my shameful past.¡± (Unknown redhead girl)


    ¡±I refuse.¡± (Main lead)


    (I got something that I can use for blackmailing. No way I¡äm going to sell it. Of course I left the place as fast as I could. I hear screaming from behind for half an hour. I can¡ät believe there is someone so fast at my age group.) (Main lead)


    (Writer¡äs note: Place in the comments should this girl become fake fiance or real fiance. There might be suprising third option if something interesting comes up.)

 Dungeon 40th floor

    (Next I was going to my part time work. Name for it is mapper. I¡äm going to scout unknown floors which no one has get access to before. Layout, special features, monsters information and habits. I will find all of them and sell it to clearing group.) (Main lead)


    ¡±You have finally come. Clearing group has been asking for information the whole day.¡± (Contact)


    ¡±Sorry for the delay. I was busy.¡± (Main lead)


    ¡±So. Are you going or have you got the information?¡± (Contact)


    ¡±I¡äm going.¡± (Main lead)


    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    I¡äm going to the 40th floor. I have been part of mapping group since floor 24 and since floor 31 I became exclusive mapper. They understood my worth since the 30th floor. Without knowledge of petrification potion they wouldn¡ät have survived. Cockatrice urine was perfect antidote for basilisk petrification. Don¡ät ask how I found this out.


    Every 5th floor leapes in difficulty. 35th floor was especially difficult. Whole places was underwater zone. Piranha sharks were too much. Boss kraken was lot easier to manage.


    For these reasons I¡äm not looking forward to how floor 40 is going to turn out to be. Free fall, poison gases, lusty succubus, thunder storm, invisible enemies and vulcano might be just some which might happen. It took over ten years to clear 5th floor. Can you believe by just eating mushrooms at starting room which were red with white spots were capable of repelling those invincible stone giants. Even to this day less than ten is capable of defeating them by damaging.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    You have to be ready for anything. Good thing scouts are capable of teleporting to wanted visited floor. 39th floor, up we go. Unlike floors 35th to 38th were underwater, floor 39th was small island. Treasure hunt island to be exact. Mimic if needed to be more exact and only one is correct one which opens the path to 40th floor. You literally has to enter inside the chest and hope it isn¡ät pretending mimic. You can¡ät even damage them before they are open. Even my superior appraisal doesn¡ät work on them. So troublesome.


    Of course I have one way to deal with this. My cheat item called as ¡±blanket¡±. Yes, you read right a blanket. Item which keeps you warm and keeps dust away from you. That kind of item. Of course with one small difference which has nothing to do with invisibility. Why everyone gets that idea? Real difference is it has skill transform. It literally can change shape into anything but size and mass has to stay same. It doesn¡ät give any attack power or defence but this is fine. I can¡ät get neighter either way.


    My method it to transform it into something that mimics are deathly afraid of which can¡ät be brought here. And what is that you say? Hellfire. No. Not the song or the band. They actually like it. I mean flame hellfire. You might think: didn¡ät you say they can¡ät be damaged by anything in chest form. You are correct but hellfire doesn¡ät damage. It literally burns the soul. Mimics have low comprehension which helps even more.


    It literally ended in seconds. They are sinking into the sea. Huge amount experience is coming to me. It is shame that clearing group can¡ät do this. They have to open, enter, save and repeat. Good luck to you. Well, it won¡ät be any easier to me. 40th floor, up we go.


    As I stepped into 40th floor I got only one idea.


    ¡±This has to be the most obvious trap in existence.¡±


    Gingerbread house was in front of him.

 How people enter the house?

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    There was nothing except this house. Even if I know this is a trap, I can¡ät avoid it. Should I simply enter? No. Definitely not. There must be some clues. No dungeon could be this evil. Oh. Yeah. One actually summoned devil king. I take my words back. Dungeons can be this evil. That doesn¡ät mean I should play by the rules. I have seven options.


    1. Open the door.


    2. Eat the house.


    3. Break the house.


    4. Enter top of the roof.


    5. Enter from underground.


    6. Shout for help.


    Of course I will choose seventh option which is the most unlikely option. Enter from the chimney. No one would use it to cook. It is made from gingerbread for goodness sake.


    (Witch¡äs POV)


    Those poor children hasn¡ät got enough to eat. Even their bones are nothing in no time. They need kind and loving family, but how can I give them it. I have no experience of rising family. I just caged them without thinking. This twin boy is even thinking that I¡äm going to eat them. You aren¡ät tasty and there is hardly any meat. I should show I trust them by placing my face near to the hot pot in front of them.


    "Ahh!!! How the hell is cooking in gingerbread house? Mark my words you will suffer!" (Main lead)Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    (I have to help him. You poor thing.)


    I removed my pot and fire away from teenager boy how was struggling to avoid falling to the pot. I apologized and explained my situation. Boy was sighing with small voice something about not breaking any rules and killing anyone how tries to enter by the chimney even if they are giving out presents. What is that about I wonder?


    "Sorry for my poor hospitality. I hope this didn¡ät give bad first impressions." (Witch)


    "No. I¡äm sorry for intruding strange way." (Main lead)


    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    This must be story oriented floor. This is going to become troublesome. This is the first of its kind in this dungeon. There is 2 common things withing all these floors. They follow set storyline. For this reason the first time clear is enormously profitable and difficult but as soon as story is clear floor becomes easy to pass. The second common thing is special reward for the first people to clear it. These story oriented floors can easily change person¡äs whole life.


    I dodged attack coming from the behind. There was young girl holding a knive. Why are lolis trying to kill me twice in a single day? Are parents actually trying to raise yanderes?


    "Why did you ruin my perfect plan? I was this close to deceive Hansel. I just wanted to steal witch¡äs treasure and make it justified for my brother." (Gretel)


    "Stop it sister. I can¡ät loss you too. Don¡ät become demon queen." (Hansel)


    (I understand. If I had entered in any other way, I would have believed that witch was the enemy and then this loli would have stapped me in demon queen form. I was this close to death. I couldn¡ät have dodged something like that. I¡äm sorry dungeon. I will continue breaking your rules from now on always.)


    (Writer¡äs comment: Dungeon must be rising his middle finger right about now. Next thing would be prove of it.)


    "Santa Clause has come to give presents to good children and coal to bad children." (Santa Clause)


    There was moment silense because of arrival of strange old man. Silent ended as soon as he made his next move. He threw legendary class dagger to the girl, a piece of meat to the boy and jewer box to the witch.


    "Shouldn¡ät you give presents only to the children? (Main lead)


    "Everyone under 400 years is child to me." (Santa Clause)


    (Why are you blushing!?)


    "Bad kids get this." (Santa Clause)


    He started to throw coal at me while I was going to be murdered.

 Ride

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    I found myself surrounded by my enemies. Twin girl is trying to open my stomack. Twin boy hardly does anything except cry. That is one plus. Strange old man is definitely my enemy. Good thing those coals doesn¡ät deal damage otherwise I would be dead. I just can¡ät hide. As for old witch, he is looking "thrower" with loving sight. At least she doesn¡ät do anything to me at least yet. That is second plus.


    How am I doing you ask? I have been better. I feel like I¡äm ball chased by pack of dogs. Problem is those teeth are capable of killing me with one bite. Everyone is being happy except the ball.


    I have been trying to find exit for myself. I can¡ät survive in this tight room. I have to get outside no matter what. I¡äm not going to climb the chimney. So only exit is that door. I have been pretending to destroy walls or windows with good results. I hope by some change one of those coals would break the window.


    As twin girl is guarding the window which I¡äm charging, I changed direction of charge. I actually managed escape. So. What now then? I can¡ät leave this floor until storyline ends.


    "What a minute! What is that!?" (Main lead)


    There as sleigh driven by reindeers.


    "How is that here?" (Main lead)


    I don¡ät care. I will take it. There was many packages of presents. There might be something useful. My instinct is telling me there will be only coal if I try open any of them. I might still need some. So I took some and placed them into my pockets. Plan B is it then. I¡äm going to ride the reindeers. How can I force them jump from the roof. They are in the roof by the way.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    "Stop! Don¡ät take them!" (Santa Clause)


    Old man is panicing. That is proof of that I¡äm doing something right. I rode them right toward the man. Collision happened and we both were heading right toward the cliff. We are going to die. At least I¡äm taking you with me.


    "NO!" (Witch)


    (Oh shut up! I saved your life.)


    "Fly!" (Santa Clause)


    (Yeah right. Like something like that is going to work.)


    We flew to the air.


    (I understand now. That first coal killed me and I¡äm death.)


    "You won¡ät get away from this." (Santa Clause)


    (I wanted to spent more time with my family. I also wanted my first friend. Everything else seems like meaningless. Maybe I should have tried to understand others better than I did.)


    "I almost got you!" (Santa Clause)


    (Yeah right. Like something like that would ever happen.)


    I jumped over the old man and took the reins of one reindeer. I opened ropes behind me and started to fly with my reindeer.


    "No!" (Santa Clause)


    There was sound of something falling to the cliff. I¡äm not looking behind. It isn¡ät my fault. I can only deal zero damage. Even tropping is counted. He wouldn¡ät die. Right? If he did then it was his fault.


    You have cleared the 40th floor. Congratulations. You are first to kill boss monster Gretel devil queen. Bonus from killing by collision together with extra boss Santa Clause. Bonus from not letting anyone eat gingerbread. Extra action reward "unique mount flying reindeer Peter". You can now enter 41th floor. Looking forward your future¡äs mishaps.


    "They aren¡ät mishaps!" (Main lead)


    As I choosed to leave the dungeon I saw someone in front of me. She was trying attack me from behind. Unlike previous two girls this was serious.


    "You promised to spent more time as soon as you would get the documents, brother." (Main lead¡äs sister)


    World¡äs strongest devil queen was in front of me. Why are my parents rising such yandere sister? Good thing I took some presents from that sleigh.

 Twin sister

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    She was my biological twin sister. Trust me. I checked DNA sample. It is true. Can you believe that I didn¡ät slip out when Gretel revealed that she was twin sister? Can you now understand why I can keep my calm in all situations? My twin sister is devil queen and I¡äm only one how knows about it.


    "Oh, dear brother. Are those for me?" (Sister)


    "Of course they are my dear sister." (Main lead)


    All cells in my body are scream for escape. She always give me shivers. Everytime I woke up in home she looks into my sleeping face. And my parent are wondering why I sleep outside the house most of the time. I¡äm trying to survive. If this goes on then she will enter into my blanket. Both of them.


    "What is inside?" (Sister)


    "Open and see." (Main lead)


    Nothing can go wrong. My sister would become happy literally from anything I give. First package contained woman underwear furthermore it was extra revealing kind. My live is over.


    "I understand." (Sister)


    No. You don¡ät understand at all.


    "It is okei." (Sister)This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    No it isn¡ät.


    "Do you want to see it?" (Sister)


    No I don¡ät. Please stop now before it is too late.


    "Hehehe! I fooled you brother" (Sister)


    Why do you look so happy about it? Can¡ät you understand how scary your smiling face is to me? How was I fooled? You meant every word you said.


    "That is my underwear. I shifted content from behind." (Sister)


    I understand. She wasn¡ät trying to attack me from behing. She was changing packages without me noticing it and people think I¡äm world¡äs best pickpocketer. By her words. She must have tried to find any proves of me cheating her. How coud I cheat? You would kill anyone how dares to approach me.


    She isn¡ät normal. Green eyes, long silky black hair tied to ponytail, tall as I¡äm and c cups. Appearance is exactly my type but her smile is scariest I know also yandere personality is huge no. Even if we weren¡ät related, too much is too much for me.


    "Why are you bothering me? I need to bring information to my contact." (Main lead)


    "I sent him away. He begged me to handle it." (Sister)


    I¡äm sure he begged but with different thing. I hope he is fine.


    "I have already wrote it down. Where should I go next?" (Main lead)


    "There is some visitors back in home. You should avoid going there no matter what. They are duke family of Helios." (Sister)


    That sure was serious. Even my sister is avoiding them. Wait! Helios. Where did I hear that name before?


    (Selena¡äs POV)


    My twin brother is coolest man I know. No one gets even close to him. Only thing I need is my brother. I hope he stays save and healthy. No one except I should be allowed to touch him. Why are my parents trying to get fiance for him? I knew this day was coming sooner than later. Don¡ät misunderstand. I agree with them. He should marry into powerful family and have family with them.


    There is just one problem and that is Helios family¡äs daughter. She surely won¡ät allow me being near my brother. She is extremely possessive girl. She won¡ät share anything she has. I must avoid them ever meet each other. If they join their hands together then no one can stop them.

 Pets

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    There was information about Helios family in my documents. They are one of the four duke families in this kingdom. They are famous for powerful fire spells. They are especially proud noble family. They haven¡ät accepted marriages outside their family for generations. Most likely reason for this change comes from their oldest daughter. She is famous for her powerful spell both with fire and air but she is even more famous for her physical capabilities. She is the first of her kind in that family.


    I don¡ät understand. How someone like her isn¡ät wanted? She has influence over nation¡äs politics. Power to act for her believes. Connections to everywhere both inside and outside law or kingdom. I¡äm nothing like her. I don¡ät have any political power. I can¡ät even eat my food on my own. All connections I have are with adventures, darkside the law and family. They aren¡ät strong either.


    In the document there was only one interesting information. She is sadist. How isn¡ät!? Only wise ones can accept it. It is sign of intelligence. At least she might survive against my sister. Plus I can make every mistake I made her fault. Everyone has to accept it and move on. Perfect.


    There must be something else I didn¡ät notice.


    (Writer note: Of course there was. What did you expect? She recently used her once in lifetime change to summon summoned spirit. She actually managed summon two of them. Problem is what those two were. Black cat and raven. Main lead loves cats and ravens so he didn¡ät notice obvious bad sign.)This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    (Raven¡äs and cat¡äs POV)


    I can¡ät believe she threw us away. You should be happy to have mighty us. You should have been happy to have just one of us. You just barely passed one. Both of us came since you had possibility to become someone great and we were bored. You don¡ät deserve us so we make our revenge to you. Watch out since two of us will never let go of something we took interest in.


    That boy looks interesting. Should we make contract with him? No. It is too early. Even for us forcing contract to someone is too evil.


    "Oh. So cute. Cat and raven are sitting together. Can anything be more cuter than that? Please. Let me pet you." (Main lead)


    Well in other side, he might be easy target. We should make spiritual contract with him, temporarily.


    "I will do it." (Main lead)


    Not even second of hesitation. Does he like us this much? You should have summoned us.


    Contract made was two parts. Firstly he will help us with our revenge until we get bored of it and secondly he can play and pet us as much as he likes. This was too good of a deal for us. He even pets better than Odin and that is a lot.


    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    No matter what I still have to go home. I just silently enter my room without anyone noticing but that can be done later. I finally got good reason to be late. These two pets of mine are too cute. I just have to find a good place to hide them. I have couple of options. Of course I choose the closest places from my home. Empty house which I own. I have made sure even my sister doesn¡ät know this place. I would be ruined if she even finds this place. Why you ask? Because I bring all animals I find here. I don¡ät steal. Those two and Peter were released to here. There is only one living in here and she is my beautiful Lamia.


    "I introduce you. She is my first pet Lamia." (Main lead)


    "I¡äm not pet and my name isn¡ät Lamia! It is my race!" (Lamia)


    "She is the cutest but she is loud." (Main lead)

 Arrangement

    (Selena¡äs POV)


    I¡äm glad that he hasn¡ät gone back home. What should I do to keep them away from each other? This will only work now. Sooner than later they will meet.


    Brother has to get girlfriend as fast as possible. Problem is my brother. How except I would be willing to do so?


    He hasn¡ät shown his face to anyone since that girl offended him. He has magic talent for making him forgettable. I don¡ät remember how my brother looked. At first I thought she only insulted him but now I¡äm not so sure. No. Don¡ät think like that. My brother must be the world¡äs most handsome man.


    I¡äm currently meeting daughter of Helios family. Her name is Kirke Helios.


    (Kirke¡äs POV)


    That boy should just die. I will make sure to finish him next time I see him. Or would it be better if I use my potion to transform him to the animal.


    Oh. I got into my thoughts. I have to concentrate.


    "Do I got this? You want to marry my brother because he is the most boring man you know. Have I understood this correctly?" (Selena)


    "That pretty much sums it up." (Kirke)


    "My brother would be free to do anything he wants under this arrangement." (Selena)


    She sure is direct. No matter what he does it isn¡ät my problem. This is merely political. I¡äm not going to let him anywhere near me. Marriage is just sign in the paper. That is more than enough for me.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "You are correct. What he is going to do is your problem and not mine. You deal his problems and I stay out of it." (Kirke)


    "I agree to this deal under two conditions. You must let him get access to your family¡äs warehouse resurses. In return we give you rights for all information we own which isn¡ät brought from my brother. Secondly you will let me meet my nephews when ever I want." (Selena)


    Why do I feel like the second part was way more important than the first one? No matter. There won¡ät be any nephews, ever. No harm done by promising this.


    "Oh yeah. One more thing. After meeting him promise that you can accept all of him. Good and bad. Especially all of his hobbies."


    Why do I feel like I¡äm making one horrible mistake here?


    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    I had enough petting for today although there isn¡ät such thing as too much petting. I have choosed to skip going home completely. I went to the person how is closest to be my friend. She is princess of this kingdom.


    "Can you stop coming in everytime I try to change clothes?" (Princess)


    "It is honest mistake. I had no idea what you were doing. It isn¡ät like I have anything to see here." (Main lead)


    "What did you say!?" (Princess)


    "It is always pleasant to see you well. I have come to sleep with you tonight." (Main lead)


    "What!!?" (Princess)


    "Princess. Is everything alright? Should I come inside?" (Guard)


    (Writer¡äs note: It is very same guard from first chapter.)


    "No don¡ät come! I¡äm going to sleep! Don¡ät bother me until morning comes! No one is allowed enter until I call help or I leave! (Not like I would call for help.)" (Princess)


    There was no sound afterwards. So I ignored failure of a guard and continued the main point.


    "Correct. I also want to get private room in dormitory. I like my privacy." (Main lead)


    "Su-sure. I-I will handle it." (Princess)


    "I¡äm glad to hear it. Good night." (Main lead)


    "That is all? How dense can you get? Why did you take all room from the bed? Where should I sleep?" (Princess)


    (Princess¡ä POV)


    I¡äm sure he won¡ät notice anything. I will use that blanket to make human-like doll to sleep with. It is a blanket anyway.

 Monster behind the mask

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    "No. Don¡ät stop. Just little bit more." (Princess)


    She has habit of sleeptalking.


    As soon as I woke up I took my blanket away from her and threw her to the bed. I went back home. Helios family must have left my home by now. I was correct.


    "Welcome home young master." (Butler)


    "Good morning Sebastian. I¡äm glad to be home." (Main lead)


    "You should visit your father¡äs office now." (Butler => Sebastian)


    "You mean my mother¡äs office." (Main lead)


    "You should respect your father more." (Sebastian)


    "Respect must be earned at first." (Main lead)


    "You! You are correct. Unfortunately." (Sebastian)


    (See. Even you agree.)


    "I will go meet my mother." (Main lead)


    It is understandable. She trust me more than father. My mother doesn¡ät trust my sister at all. That is something I will never understand. They are so alike with each other.


    Knock-knock-knock


    "Come in." (Mom)


    "You called me." (Main lead)Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    "Where did you spent your night?" (Mom)


    "In the royal palace." (Main lead)


    "That is fine. More importantly. You have fiance now." (Mom)


    "I heard that might be the case. How should I move? Escape or assassination." (Main lead)


    "Neither. Why are you going away? Stop him! He is going to play hide and seek! You must capture him!" (Mom)


    "You know that is impossible." (Sebastian)


    "Threaten him." (Mom)


    "I will fill it." (Sebastian)


    This caused me to freeze up. You wouldn¡ät mean that.


    "You wouldn¡ät dare." (Main lead)


    "Even if it is inhuman, I must do it to protect your family. Please try to understand. This is for your own good." (Sebastian)


    "I won¡ät never forgive you." (Main lead)


    "I know and I accept it. I¡äm going to resign after I have done it." (Sebastian)


    "You are planning to go this far for my mother. You surely understand resigning will be least of your worries." (Main lead)


    "That doesn¡ät matter since I managed to buy enough time." (Sebastian)


    Cold shivers came over my whole body. Everyone part of my family is capable doing so but only one is able to stop whole body from moving altogether. She isn¡ät even related to me.


    "You did hesitate to have me filled." (???)


    She is so scary. Why did I ever brought her here?


    "Why didn¡ät you hesitate?" (???)


    I did hesitate. Why didn¡ät you notice it?


    "You should have protected me without a doubt." (???)


    You are doing just fine. No one is brave enough to do anything.


    "Why did you leave me alone?" (???)


    I¡äm pretty sure you didn¡ät let me.


    "You promised to be with me forever." (???)


    I never promised anything like that.


    "Why are you always lying to me?" (???)


    Reason why I keep my pets as secret is because I don¡ät want my sister to threaten me with it. She would otherwise give the information to her. She would become jealous to Lamia. Why you ask? Because in front of me is my adopted daughter how is 7 years old gorgon.


    Thanks to artifact which I own she can live normal life without scaring anyone but behind it she is horrible monster.


    "I¡äm sorry for any harm and doubt that I have dealt to you. I didn¡ät want to hurt you. I must escape to keep myself and you save and together. Someday you will understand why I have done these things." (Main lead)


    After saying these words I escaped from Sebastian¡äs trap. Princess must have prepared private room for me by now. I must complete my move before my family hears the news. It is time to go pet my cute pets.

 Getaway

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    I went to meet my pets. My visit can be summarized with one sentence. Lot of yelling and lot of playing around. You would be suprised why my Lamia hasn¡ät left. People reject her existence. They are such rasists. I can¡ät believe there is such people. You might think that isn¡ät much. Everybody thinks love and hate are opposite of each other, but they are not. They have a common antithesis, indifference. That is the worst part of humanity. I¡äm ashamed to be part of such group. That¡äs why I have to show all love that I can.


    I¡äm currently done with moving out so I¡äm going to work on helping others to understand demihumans. How you ask? By doing formal protest. And where you ask? In front of school which I¡äm going to start studying in tomorrow.


    - Stop false accusations against other races!


    - Freedom for save work and home!


    - Safety to road!


    - Protect next generation both morally and at hand!


    - Overcome common mistakes!


    And countless such prompting are shouted in front of growing and learning youth. By the way. I¡äm leading this group. I¡äm known as No-one. It isn¡ät good name but it works well enough. Over the years this one man group grew this large organization if you can consider ten people as large.


    Unlike what you might think they are actually powerful people with lot of influence. Some of them are political enemies with each other but they became for common cause. We all love animals and demihumans. We won¡ät accept this without even trying. We have only one problem. Since we can¡ät reveal our faces, everyone thinks that we are nobodies with black hoods. For that reason we are constantly on lookout for guard how are going to try to arrest us.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "We are surrounded." (Main lead)


    "It was about time." (Prime minister)


    "Is escape path open?" (Leader of evil organization)


    "It is open but we don¡ät have much time." (General)


    "Should I blow them away?" (Duke Aeolus)


    "I don¡ät think that is necessary." (Dwarf blacksmith)


    "I will lead the path." (S-rank adventurer)


    "I will make sure no one is left behind." (Pope)


    "As for me. I will make sure everyone following us will suffer." (Guard captain)


    "You are too much as usual." (Retired king)


    Even I don¡ät know how they are. I¡äm just assuming they are powerful as I. There shouldn¡ät be anyone stronger than I. Our escape plan is the simplest it can be. We are charging up front. There is one thing for our favor. We are right and they are wrong. There is no way we would loss to those "creatures".


    "Watch out! They are charging!" (Guard 1)


    "Don¡ät block! Dodge!" (Guard 2)


    "It is too late!" (Guard 3)


    "Ahh!" (Guard 1)


    "He kicked his nuts!" (Guard 4)


    "They aren¡ät people!" (Guard 2)


    "You have no right to say that!" (Ten of us)


    "You must stop them!" (Second in command of guards)


    "How?! Aah!!" (Guard 3)


    "He is done for!" (Guard 4)


    "I don¡ät want to be next! Retreat!!" (Guard 2)


    "Stop retreating! Why does commander have to take free time these kinds of days?! Ahh!! Why me?!!!" (Second in command of guards)


    "I just felt like it." (Guard captain)


    He took out his whip. For some reason he enjoy using it to this man all the time. Everyone in his attack range won¡ät be able to escape. Seriously. How is rising these kind of people? First yanderes and now sadists.


    "Path is open! Move out! Let¡äs meet in set places ones again! Unfortunately I¡äm going to be busy for a while. Member number 2 will lead for a while." (Main lead)


    "Sure thing, boss!" (Leader of evil organization => Member 2)


    Our everyday child friendly protest.

 Caution

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    I choosed to sleep in 40th floor since many other students are moving over the night. Story oriented floors are save to stay after they are cleared and as first clearer I gained extra right to own area here. I can use it anyway I want. Many adventurers make save zones out of them. I haven¡ät choosen what I¡äm going to do with it. As for now. I¡äm going to sleep.


    (Unknown¡äs POV)


    "Should we manipulate him here? This would be the best time to do so." (?1)


    "I agree with her. Even if we fail, he won¡ät cause us harm. I think?" (?2)


    "You don¡ät sound sure. Should we back out for now?" (?1)


    "We won¡ät get other change like this again. We must do this for our survival." (?3)


    "What if he doesn¡ät like us?" (?1)


    "That is risk you have to make." (?3)


    "No fair. Why me?" (?1)


    "Because I said so." (?3)


    "..." (?1)


    For the first time in history monster left floor which wasn¡ät visited yet. What kind of ramification comes out of it, reveal as you continue reading ahead.


    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    Unknown monster has entered your detection field. No hostility is noticed. Caution is recommended.


    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    I continue sleeping. It isn¡ät like it is coming right toward me.


    Unknown monster is coming directly toward you. Caution is highly recommended.


    I continue sleeping. It isn¡ät like it is planning to do anything to me.


    "Unknown monster has unknown intentions toward you. Caution is intensely recommended.


    I continue sleeping. It isn¡ät like it feels scared or nervous.


    (Unknown monster has high blood pressure, sweating and panic. Wake up already you #"=)&#"+@&5.


    Note taken. As I opened my eyes I say...


    (Writer¡äs notes: Like I would be so cruel to stop there. I was still tempted.)


    Siren.


    This doesn¡ät make any sense. Sirens are supposed to stay close to waters even more than mermaids. Maybe not that much but you get a picture. 40th floor doesn¡ät have running water or ocean. 39th floor would have be way more likely option. As for why I can tell it is siren is because my appraisal shows it.


    Sirens are one of most differentiated races. This one in front of me is human shaped. Their fighting methods are similar to succubus. No words are needed to be said. They both are races without attacking power. In that front we aren¡ät much different from each other.


    "What are you doing here?" (Main lead)


    "Please don¡ät hate me." (Siren 1)


    Normally any man would have said: I don¡ät hate you. It is because of siren voice magic. They have no control over it. As for me. I have immunity to harmful effects outside the damage. At least I think, I can be damaged. I haven¡ät taken any chances.


    "That depends on how you act around me." (Main lead)


    "We need your help." (Siren 1)


    "I assume you mean you and other sirens." (Main lead)


    "Yes." (Siren)


    "I think about it. Good night." (Main lead)


    "..." (Siren)


    I presume she hasn¡ät experienced anything like this before. Normally I would have acted to be in her control but she doesn¡ät want to cause harm to me. It is just a part of her nature. It is easy to become overconfident about your skills. I¡äm going to help them depending how they will act. Of course I have to gain something out of it in return.


    "We want you to heal us. There is curse forced upon us. We have antidote but it is highly toxic to our race. Please help us if you know how much we can take. We won¡ät haunt you even if you don¡ät succeed." (Siren)


    They indeed came to right person. Too bad. I know what you want but you don¡ät know what I want. This is perfect for me.

 Great possibilities

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    "What kind of potion it is?" (Main lead)


    "It is capable of destroying our voice. One of us has lost her voice already." (Siren)


    That explains their urgency.


    "What kind of curse it is?" (Main lead)


    "It causes us to be hostile against people." (Siren)


    "Aren¡ät you normally hostile? Aren¡ät you monsters part of this dungeon? I don¡ät think they would let you go. Aren¡ät you trying to get back your voice to hunt my race?" (Main lead)


    "..." (Siren)


    "This will become lot easier if you can tell me whole situation." (Main lead)


    Please do so. It will help me with my negotiations. She is so bad at it. Even succubus would try to cry in this situation. Of course she might be just acting but I highly doubt that.


    "We aren¡ät originally part of this dungeon. We were tricked and trapped here. We aren¡ät capable of escaping either. I could only come here thanks to everyone¡äs help." (Siren)


    "How?" (Main lead)


    This seems to be very important. Are all monsters here captive or just some of them? How could be responsible of this? Could other monsters leave their floors. This might cause massive problems. I might not be only one to know about this.


    What ever. This is troublesome. This isn¡ät my problem. I just gain everything out of this that I can. More importantly. Why is she only wearing loose shirt? At least all private parts aren¡ät showing. No. Don¡ät look. You aren¡ät into small children. Otherwise I would have lost my virginity a long time ago.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    "We had no other ways to survive other than working together. We were once human slaves. After we were turned to the monsters, we were teleported here. Failed experiment they say. One of us stole magic equipment which allows me to be like a human in front of the dungeon." (Siren?)


    I see. So that is why she could come here. That explains it.


    ...


    ...


    ...


    "Wait!" (Main lead)


    "What did you say?!" (Main lead)


    "We had no other ways to survive other than..." (siren?)


    "Not that! You were human! No. You are a human girl!" (Main lead)


    "Yes." (Siren?)


    "This is perfect!" (Main lead)


    "What?" (Siren?)


    "Do you have any working experience as a maid?" (Main lead)


    "What are you talking about?" (Siren?)


    "Don¡ät worry. Experience isn¡ät necessary." (Main lead)


    "What?! Are you asking us to become..?" (Siren?)


    "Would you like to become my maids?" (Main lead)


    "..." (Siren?)


    "I will heal, feed, dress and give you place to live. I only need one year. Of course if you like then you can work longer." (Main lead)


    "You can help us?" (Siren?)


    She was very hopeful. She was giving a smile for the first time. It was sore smile but it showed that she hadn¡ät laughed for a long time. It was a bit awkward but still beautiful. Her pale skin started to glow a bit or so I think. I want to give them a change to new better live. Just maybe human girls can be cute too.


    "It is better to talk in front of them. Am I right?" (Main lead)


    ---


    After explaining our deal with four siren human girls, I started to prepare to heal them from the curse. It was going to be easy for me. Why you ask? Of course because of my zero damage feature. I can¡ät even poison anyone so potions will only cause good effects instead of harmful ones.


    As for why am I hiring these girls. I can¡ät trust my family¡äs maids and no demihuman girls are allowed in premises of the school. These girls actually are humans. I can trust them. Finally they are cute. Maids are suppose to be nice to look at. Even if they are bad at it, they look even more cuter. I hope at least one of them is clumsy. I hope that won¡ät get fixed.


    First girl actually fell because she stepped on the sleeve of her shirt. They were just too big for them. I sensed great possibilities from her.

 School

    (Main lead¡äs POV)


    "This is going to be our home from now on. Don¡ät worry about it. It was no problem to get you out from the dungeon." (Main lead)


    "You blew a hole and flooded the dungeon. How can this be interpret as no problem?" (?3 => Noel)


    "I wasn¡ät the one who blew it up. You saw it. It as their fault." (Main lead)


    "I don¡ät think placing a ticking bomb in middle of adventure party counts as not your fault." (Noel)


    "You should think with wider mind. You have less to worry about. It isn¡ät like they were in danger." (Main lead)


    "They didn¡ät know it!" (Noel)


    "Forget about it. I¡äm going to." (Main lead)


    ---


    "This is going to be our room. You are free to fit up as you like. Your responsibility is to keep my schedule correct. For now just try to sleep and rest. I¡äm going to class with you tomorrow. Stay out of the problems. As for problems coming toward you then give them these." (Main lead)


    I handed them stink grenades. This should keep problem children away.


    "What are these?" (Siren? => Lucy)


    "Stink bombs." (Main lead)


    "What!?" (?2 => Susan)


    She almost dropped it. Maybe I shouldn¡ät say so matter a fact manner.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Don¡ät worry. I made it so only male targets can smell it. It also can only land on male victims. Isn¡ät that perfect?" (Main lead)


    They have no words. I should still ask.


    "Is this alright to you? You are going to live here. Please don¡ät say you have no other options." (Main lead)


    "You are nicest human we have ever meet. Thanks to you we are able to dream once again. We have no idea what we want to do. Please give us time?" (Lucy)


    "Take all time you need. There is no need to stay so serious around me. Just act like me. Let¡äs sleep." (Main lead)


    Main lead didn¡ät notice. Girls were unable to change clothers since boy was in same room as them. Even they got enough common sense to know that this wasn¡ät normal.


    ---


    (Four girls'' POV)


    "This can''t go on like this. He doesn''t have any common sense." (Poisoned girl => Shino)


    "Quiet down. You should be lucky to be able to talk at all." (Noel)


    "Is it okay to sleep anywhere?" (Lucy)


    "He said act like him. He doesn¡ät have any place to sleep except floor. (Susan)


    They went to sleep other side the room which wasn¡ät easy. He slept in middle in the room. They couldn¡ät believe such manners can come from noble family¡äs oldest son. They slept with idea that such nobles can¡ät be out there. Unfortunately they were incorrect.


    ---


    (Ramdom student¡äs POV)


    My servants woke me up in the morning with good breakfast and shower. This was going to be my first chapter to my new live. I¡äm going to become main character of my own story. Just look at that. That man can¡ät be student. Nothing can be descriped as proper. Those servants behind him weren¡ät nothing to praise about either. They covered their faces with hood. Don¡ät they have heard about those weird men. At least they are women but they hoods can only mean one thing. They must be ugly. There is no other option than that.


    With such thought I approached this group to make sure they understandtheir place as nothing.


    "Watch out!" (Main lead)


    How dare he push me? Do you have any idea what you have just done?


    For some reason I couldn¡ät shout my thought. I was shivering. I have no idea why that is.


    "Kiii!"


    There was many horrified shouts around me. Many men wearing black clothes were surrounding the school. I was attacked as demonstration. He saved me. I must thank him and apologize, but he was nowhere to be found. I should have looked him more closerly. I have no idea how he looked exactly.


    "Terrorist attack!"

 Side story 1. Circus cleaner

    (Leader of evil organization POV)


    It isn¡ät easy to lead criminal organizations. Everyone has different living environment, goals and hopes. I have to lead them to those and improve their lives.


    I¡äm same as them. Place where I live can¡ät be considered as normal. I was rised by the circus such I¡äm still working with animals by feeding and cleaning them and their surroundings. I¡äm happy to do this since my replacements weren¡ät the nicest punch around. I can¡ät trust anyone except me.


    My goal in live is to find work for everyone willing to work hard. World will surely collapse without if those working are corrupt and hard working one¡äs are starving.


    As for what I hope most is equality to all races. Circus consist plenty of misfits and most of them are demihumans. They are the most loyal people out there. It saddens me not to hire all of them since people below me are such rasists. Their hearts are in right place but they had be rised the wrong way. I hope to meet someone how I could trust among the humans for no matter what.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.


    "Shut up you punk! How would believe this lamia is your sister? At least make some sense." (???)


    "Without blood relation we are still siblings no matter what." (Main lead)


    "We just meet!" (Lamia)


    "It doesn¡ät matter how long we have known each other either." (Main lead)


    "Could you arrest me? I will take my change with the prison rather than with him." (Lamia)


    "My sister is such a joker. Don¡ät listen to her. She is mental." (Main lead)


    "I don¡ät know what to think anymore." (???)


    "Hahaha!" (Leader of evil organization)


    That last part got me. They are so hilarious. I think I can trust him.


    "Sorry for laughing. I would like to donate a house to you and your sister. What are your names?" (Leader of evil organization)


    "She is my sister Lamia..." (Main lead)


    "I¡äm not your sister." (Lamia)


    "In that case. She is my pet Lamia." (Main lead)


    They are so funny.


    "In that case I would like to call you Boss from now on." (Leader of evil organization)


    "You are making one horrible mistake here." (Lamia)


    Her words came to empty ears.

 Side story 2. Struggled one

    (Pope¡äs POV)


    Why have I worked so hard for? I haven¡ät accomplized anything. Why must church persecute demihuman race. Sure not all of them are kind or good. No one is. I thought by rising to very top of church I could change how everyone acts around them. I have kept my thought hidden all this time. I have sacrificed even my loved ones to get to this point. Why can¡ät I be open about it? Am I ashamed of my doings? Is my status more important than them? Do I deserve this status when I have sacrificed so much? Am I doing the right thing, god?


    I have done everything to get here and now when I got the power I hesitated to use it. I¡äm not sure why I¡äm hesitating. Why can¡ät I do anything? I have power to change everything and now I¡äm hesitating. This can¡ät be right. This doesn¡ät make any sense. Is god placing me to new challenge to test my fate?


    I should be leading the resistance but I¡äm not doing anything. I¡äm scared. This is too much. Worst thing is I don¡ät know reason behind it. I need a sign but I can¡ät place everything to it. God have given us freedom of choice. I can¡ät worce all responcibility to god. That isn¡ät right.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    I must do something. Anything. Anything at all. I can¡ät stop now. If I do then I will stop forever. Please. Someone. Help me.


    "Do I have to come here?" (Main lead)


    "Of course. How else could you find anyone to take care of you?" (Mom)


    "I think you are the largest reason for it. No one wants you to become their mother in law." (Main lead)


    "Can¡ät you at least pretent that it isn¡ät true?" (Mom)


    "Accepting is first part of healing process." (Main lead)


    "You have no reason to fight me. This isn¡ät my fault. You could avoid this if you would take initiative actions on your own." (Mom)


    "Why? There is no reason to take a lead if you don¡ät want to. No matter how much power you possess you will surely fail at some point. Of course we grow everytime we fail but that isn¡ät reason to go ahead to failure when someone else can take a lead. I just have to make sure no one falls behind everyone else. I want to be a safety net to those how work the hardest." (Main lead)


    "You are hopeless." (Mom)


    That is right. Why couldn¡ät I see it? I should become someone how protects those how work the hardest to demihumans. There will be failures but I will protect them. They will surely become final victors when I protect them behind the scenes.


    "Not necessary. I have one reason why I want to be here." (Main lead)


    "Oh. What is that?" (Mom)


    "I heard church captured gorgon girl couple of days ago. Of course I will save her." (Main lead)


    And I will protect you while you are doing so.

 Side story 3. I will prove you wrong

    <h5>(S-rank adventurer POV)


    </h5>


    I¡äm reincarnated human from earth. Thanks to gods I got cheat power of see the future. As far as I¡äm concerned, I must be in a story. Many people must be reading my thought right now... Yeah right! How would believe that?


    It isn¡ät all powerful power since light change might and will make a difference. Sometimes I even make things worse. Naturally I don¡ät like it but doing nothing is even worse.


    I don¡ät like risks but somehow they always find me. All I know is fighting. Ever since I had born I was trained to be assassin. Naturally the most was with guns, but naturally I learned close combat skills. Those skill were useful as I lived here. I could even make guns if I tried. My future sight skill showed that it works. I choosed to keep it as secret.


    At first I thought that I could invent them and keep them to myself but that would be just temporal resort. There might be others how have come from my world. People are creative race. Once they know something is possible then they can recreate it. Also my gun could be stolen if not now then after my death.


    It wouldn¡ät be my fault. Alchemist will find out the truth in few century or sooner and war isn¡ät all bad thing. Others might think otherwise but it is the truth. Only thing holding my back is words of someone I heard in the past. Or more correctly saying in the future which didn¡ät happen.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve.

    "Why are you protesting against racism against demihumans?" (S-rank adventurer)


    "Of course it is for them. Why else?" (Main lead)


    "Aren¡ät you worried about how these speeches could cause even further discord?" (S-rank adventurer)


    "Of course I know this will cause problems to those how I wish to save. They must be blaming me for this and I deserve it. But that isn¡ät a reason to hold back, it is even stronger reason to move forward." (Main lead)


    That is so reckless. He can¡ät be serious.

    "I won¡ät be taking responsibility since I will succeed." (Main lead)


    At those word, I sweared to prove him wrong. Great power means great responsibility. I will keep my responsibility until I see his failure.
