Chapter 2

“A dungeon’s difficulty consists of two factors.”

While paying close attention ahead, I kept talking as I moved so the viewers wouldn’t get bored.

When I turned on the comment-reading feature for “ExtremeChat” on my smartphone, the viewers’ voices played back as Zunda-mon.¹

“Correct. Incidentally, you can tell right away if you step into a dungeon where powerful monsters appear or if there’s an absurdly high number of them. The drifting magic element is thicker than anywhere else.”

“I’ve conquered dungeons all over the world up until now. Based on that experience, I can say this is the first time I’ve ever felt a dungeon with magic element this thick…”

That was the truth. Even though it was still only the first stratum, I could feel a density of magic element that made my skin prickle. This had nothing to do with me being in my underwear.

“It’s coming…!!”

Emerging from the dimly glowing depths of the dungeon were three High Orcs.

“Hmph. Don’t underestimate me.”

The moment I raised my longsword, the three High Orcs raised the hammers in their hands and started running.

The one in the lead swung its hammerhead down right toward the top of my head.

“Too naive.”

I stepped in instantly, slid my longsword into the leading High Orc’s flank, and targeted the neck of the one behind it in a sweeping motion.

One dead instantly. One desperately holding in the entrails spilling from its stomach. One flying into a rage and swinging its hammer in a horizontal sweep.

Dodging the hammerhead approaching like a tornado with a backstep, I guided the High Orc toward a specific spot.

“Die.”

I drove the longsword, a lump of steel, across the neck of the High Orc that had lost its balance.

With a whoosh of wind-cutting sound, the pig face spun round and round as it danced through the air.

The High Orc barely managing to stand was also staggering due to blood loss. Its entrails hung sloppily against the ground.

“This is what real dungeon streaming is.”

I cleaved the frightened-looking High Orc in two with a single slash, finishing my first battle in the Somalia Dungeon.

As I checked my smartphone while wiping the blood and fat off my sword, the concurrent viewer count had exceeded 3,000, and over 1,000 pt in superchats had already been sent.
