[Could it be..... something like a ghost..... comes out at this place? HAHAHA!!]

I was embarrassed for spouting such an unrealistic word as "ghost", so I made out as if it was a joke. That’s said, I have no confidence in my words because of my community disorder. Although the real estate agent seems shady, he suited his job and took my words as a joke.

[HAHAHA dear customer. Please stop the joke, of course something such as ghosts doesn’t exist]

That’s right. If there are any accident in the condo or apartment, etc. happened before, there's an obligation for the agent to announce it to a tenant. I think I have heard something like that before. Although shady, he is still a Japanese citizen. If he didn’t announced it, he would received a penalty according to the law.

[I figured. HAHAHA]

[*Cough* (Well, Goblin and Slime did come out though)]

Wait a moment. Did my ears playing a trick on me.

This man just said something absurd with a low voice to match my fake smile.

[Excuse me..... what did you just say?]

[Then please write your name on this contract, also put your personal seal here]

I have a really bad feeling about it.

Goblin? Slime? the name of monsters that come out in my favorite games and light novel. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. My sixth sense is telling me that somethings wrong.

But the charm of a 30.000 Yen rent for a 2LDK apartment in Tokyo Metropolitan's area got the better of me. I who was a sad part-time work soldier that dropped out from university from some circumstances.

(TL : 2LDK = 2 Living rooms, Dining room, Kitchen. Ask Google for more details)

I look at the man’s eyes in front of me with a quick glance.

There is no way words like Goblin or Slime came out from the mouth of a gangster-like man who has a sense of realism. Or so that’s what I thought.

[Okay, what the heck is this?] (Toru)

When I go out of the front door, a hallway in my apartment for some reason becomes a Dungeon. Why is there a dungeon, could somebody explain it to me?

[Let's see..... I opened the front door. Because it was pitch black, I use a flashlight fuction from my iPhone. The corridor has become stone-claded with natural rock for some reason..... and dungeon is here!] (Toru)

(TL : You will find some dialogues that sounds like a monolog of our MC's point of view from time to time. I will tried to change it to be sounds more dialogue-like without make it too different with the original line so I hope you could understand)

It’s a shitty property as I thought, or rather it’s totally on a different level altogether. Okay wait a moment, It may be a mistake of something. Let's remember it calmly.

I was unpacking by myself after the people from the moving traders returned. Because it was getting late, I tried to go to a convenience store to buy dinner. I went out of the front door, and then the hallway had become like this. Even if I calmed down, the conclusion didn't change.

So this is the reason why the contract was made in hurry.

Once it was made, I can’t complain about this shitty property. He also can claim that everything had been explained properly. That shady real estate agent had muttered something about a Goblin in low voice with such intention.

[I wonder if I can get through all of this alive and go home. Ah..... if you think about it, this place is no other than my home] (Toru)

I closed the front door and turned the key quietly.

The front door was made with strong iron.

I think it was an acts to prevent a thief.

Even so the overall discount store is sure amazing.

[Even pickaxe for mountaineering and a helmet with a headlight are sold.....] (Toru)

Although there is no armor, the best weapon and source light for dungeon exploration are in my hand. In particular, this helmet with headlight might be the item of legendary level in the world when you are adventuring with torches and lanterns.

[Let’s go..... to the dungeon] (Toru)

I put my ear against a front door to confirm whether there are any strange sounds.

[For now, it’s not likely there will be an ambush from Goblins right after I opened door. About Slime..... they couldn't not make any sound isn't?] (Toru)

I opened the front door quietly.

The headlights illuminates the darkness.

It can’t be compared with the light from an iPhone flashlight function.

[Huh? I thought it was a passage but it seems different] (Toru)

A big pillar stood up in front of the door. It seems the space around is much bigger compared to my room. In the aspect ratio of its width and height it's about the size of a high school pool.

[Surely, there wouldn’t be a Goblin that suddenly say hello from behind the pillar right?] (Toru)

Rather than through a front door, this time I desperately tried to hear a sound directly from the surroundings.

[.....!] (Toru)
