(Next I was going to my part time work. Name for it is mapper. I´m 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´m going.” (Main lead)

(Main lead´s POV)

I´m 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´t have survived. Cockatrice urine was perfect antidote for basilisk petrification. Don´t 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´m 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.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

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´t pretending mimic. You can´t even damage them before they are open. Even my superior appraisal doesn´t 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´t give any attack power or defence but this is fine. I can´t get neighter either way.

My method it to transform it into something that mimics are deathly afraid of which can´t 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´t you say they can´t be damaged by anything in chest form. You are correct but hellfire doesn´t 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´t do this. They have to open, enter, save and repeat. Good luck to you. Well, it won´t 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.”
