Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 58 — Traps and Formless Monsters

Editor:
When I entered the dungeon, stone walls neatly surrounded me on all sides, with torches lit at even intervals.

Relying on the light, I advanced carefully, keeping my guard up toward the walls and what lay ahead. No monsters attacked, and just when my vigilance began to loosen—

CLANG!!


“Hm?”


A nasty sound rose from beneath me.

When I looked down, the floor had vanished, replaced by a forest of metal spikes, and I began falling straight toward them as if being swallowed.

While falling, I shifted my posture, used the momentum, and tried to destroy the spikes with my fist.

DOGAN!!!

They shattered easily, giving me solid footing. I sprang back up to the original path in one leap.


“Is this a trap-focused dungeon?”


If so, this place offers little benefit for me. Still, I'm only at the beginning. There’s a chance monsters appear deeper inside.

Holding onto that hope, I continued forward. Another click sounded, the ground sank slightly, and the next moment, poison arrows fired in unison from both walls.

I immediately drew my short sword and cut down every incoming arrow.


“I’ve got【Toxin Resistance】, so it wouldn’t be fatal, but there’s no reason not to be careful.”


After breaking through several more traps by brute force, I felt I’d gone quite deep when a clanking noise echoed, accompanied by the presence of something drawing near.

What appeared were monsters clad in pitch-black full plate armor, wielding fine longswords and round shields.

Its name was Living Armor. If knowledge from fantasy stories holds true, it’s armor transformed into a monster, with no physical body inside.


“In that case… the paralysis poison on my short sword won’t work. I’d have to break the armor directly to defeat it.”


Still, I’d already beaten plenty of A-rank monsters. No way I’d struggle now.

The three Living Armors present moved at once. The front one swung its sword repeatedly. Each strike was on par with an A-rank swordsman, and an ordinary hunter would need a fair amount of time to take them down.


“I broke an Armored Centipede’s tough body with one punch. Splitting this thick armor should be easy.”


The corridor was too narrow to slip behind them, so I vanished using【Stealth】and cut them down directly from the front.

    He could take notes from Bone Daddy's book. Using undeads for 'dismantling' traps. 😏

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:
Image
                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
