Episode 006 First Battle
Thirty minutes after entering the dungeon, I finally found a target.
"I found it!! It's a Gummic."
Yes, it's a monster.
The monster is a translucent entity like a slime shaped like an oval sphere. The size is about 30 to 40 centimeters. It is the weakest monster in the dungeon. Moreover, it is not an amorphous shape like a slime, but rather it seems to be a type like a gummy as the name suggests.
There is no nucleus like is common in light novels, and it was the perfect opponent for my first battle that can be defeated really easily with effective hitting and slashing.
There was something like a face, and it seemed to get visual recognition from it, and it was written on the net that if you approached from behind, you could beat it easily.
"Okay, I'll do it!!"
When I inspired myself with a small voice, I sneak up from behind.
"Huh ... huh ..."
From extreme tension and impatience, I was sweating all over my body, my breathing grew ragged and I felt thirsty. As the distance gradually reduced, my heartbeat pulsed and echoed in my body.
-Garii
However, although I was approaching without being noticed, I could not afford to look around to the point that I stepped on the pebbles at my feet.
Oops??
It's already too late when I regret it.
The Gummic slowly turned around and faced me. Its face looks like Munch's 'The Scream' and it headed towards me.(TN:If you don't know Edvard Munch's 'The Scream', Google it.)
Damnit!! I have no choice but to do it.
I pulled the bat out of my backpack and readied myself.
-Byuun.
"Guu, ha, it's fast!?"
The Gummic moved when I approached within about a meter. It flew towards me like a bullet. Not knowing that it was that fast, I was struck by the Gummic.
The attack is unexpectedly heavy and stronger than a boy of my age seriously ramming.

"Guu!?"
I had a dull pain in my abdomen and staggered, but I managed to endure it. Perhaps because of its shape and texture, I regained my composure a little because of the unexpectedly little damage, and immediately kicked the Gummic that fell down.
"Gyu!?"
The Gummic blew away a few meters looking like a crushed frog, hitting the rock surface and falling ot the ground.
Seeing how it wriggles, it seems that it is still alive.
Huh. It seems to be dangerous if I get hit many times, but if I'm careful, I'll be able to dodge, and if I take a few hits, I should be able to tolerate it.
I took a breath and immediately approached the Gummic and swung the bat down. The moment it hits the Gummic, a dull response runs through my hand to my brain.
It feels like I hit a rubber tire that's quite thick and hard.
"Youu!"
I hit the Gummic with the bat over and over again with a 'Bashin Bashin'. During that time, the Gummic was also defending, and it didn't hit me or fight back.
When I hit it several times, the Gummic gave off a faint light, but regardless of that, I kept hitting it with the bat until it disappeared.
"Huh ... huh ..."
I struck it so many times that I was out of breath, and the tension of the first battle made me slump on the spot.
"So this is a battle with a real monster ... huh ... huh ..."
I was nervous and couldn't move as I wanted, so I was attacked, and I forgot myself and hit it too much, which was overkill. From now on, let's be smarter ...
Anyway, I defeated the Gummic, but my level didn't go up.
At first, there was a lot of information on the net that the level would go up just by defeating a Gummic once, but there is no announcement or power.
"Hmm ... Isn't it just one? ..."
I'm too dissapointed to sigh.
But still it's one. My life as an explorer is yet to come!!
When I pulled myself together and checked the place where the Gummic disappeared, there was a small stone about the size of the tip of my little finger.
