When I woke up I was confused. What am I doing here? Where is everyone else? Did someone do this to me? Oh yeah, it was Hirokichi that fucker! I was angered and punched the wall only to lose 2 HP. I needed to calm down. I looked around me and it was very dark. I was in something that resembled a nest. It was made of a material that I had never seen before.
I looked around for an exit but I found nothing and remembered that I was in Area C of the first floor in the dungeon. I took out my Location Card and checked my location. The location card is the card we all got to tell us our location in the dungeon and what floor we were on.
Location: Area A
Floor: 46th Floor
Wah? How? How did I get here Hirokichi is not strong enough to get me to the 46th floor and Area A of the dungeon by himself. He wouldn't even have enough time to do that. While I was pondering on how I got here my answer came. A giant bird-like creature with scales all over its body arrived in the nest.
I was so scared that I could not move. The giant bird approached. Move let's MOVE! I need to get out of here before I die! I could not move. As the bird got closer to me I began to cry. But it spoke, "Why doth thou cry? Haha, I'm just kidding. I'm, not the medieval type you cannot understand. I am Vanessa Queens and I am in charge of you. That useless God told me to teach you how to use your skills. I believe you have「Learning」「Growth」skills. Am I right?"
Still scared I answered,"Ye-Yes" It nodded and came over to me and said, "Inspect me."
"Huh? You want me to inspect you? What do you mean by inspect you?"
"It's one of the effects of the skill「Learning」you just say Inspect and look at the person you want to inspect. "
"How do I use it? You are confusing me."
"Ahh! That useless Goddess she didn't even tell you how to use your skills? Ok, Let me explain. The skill「Learning」is a skill that works with the「Growth」skill to increase your abilities to an extent that is unimaginable though it takes time. The Demon King has the skill「Devils Growth」which allows him to grow in power very fast. But, in the end, your abilities can grow to much more than his."
I tried to take all of that in at once. So she was saying I was stronger than Osamu? I just have to take my time? How long will that be? I asked her, "Um, excuse me, miss... Well no I'm not assuming your gender but you sound like a female...Soo um--"
"Ask your question I don't have all day! My name is Vanessa Queens."
"Okay...Miss Vanessa Queens do I grow faster than Osamu my classmate who is the strongest in the class with stats all over 300 and he has some really cool skills. And how did I get to the 46th floor of the dungeon?"
“The answer is simple. I brought you here because this is where you will start practicing your skills. Your goal is to completely defeat this undefeated dungeon!”
“Wait. What do you mean by undefeated dungeon? I thought it was an easy dungeon.”
“So the other Humans didn’t tell you. Haha, those fools. So very conceded. They have only gotten to the 50th floor because at that point there are monsters like me. Now「Inspect」me if you would like to know how strong I am.” I Inspected her.

I could not believe it her skills were something that would make Osamu cry on the floor! She is the strongest thing I have ever seen in my entire life, in this world.
She then said,"I see you now get how to use your skills I will only help you when I absolutely need to help you. Everything else is up to you. Use your skills wisely you will grow but remember, It will take time. Don't rush it or you will not grow."
She was gone in a flash leaving me in disarray. For now, I should focus on how to get out of here and reach the top of this dungeon. But how? I'm weak all I can do is the Inspect skill! What do I do now? I guess I'll try and find a safe spot for now.
I moved around in this huge nest and looked for a way out of it. As I was walking my foot hit something. I tried to pick it up but it was too heavy. When I tried to get a good look at it I realised it was an egg. Wait if this is an egg then I can make it into my pet right? Maybe it's a dragon egg! I can grow it into the strongest dragon ever!
My brain had gone wild with fantasies of having a dragon as my pet. I wanted to keep track of this nest so I can be here when the egg hatches so it recognises me as its parent! I made a fire with the matches and torch I had and left it in the nest. I left the nest with another fire and tried to search around the nest but I saw a monster that was tall and had long hair. I wanted to know if I could fight it or not so I Inspected it.

He was strong. As I am right now I cannot fight him. I can barely even see him in this dark cave! What do I do? For now, let's go back to the nest. But, what about food? I'll worry about that later. I went back to the nest and laid there trying to think of how I could get out of this dungeon.
I thought about what the dragon had said and saw no solution. So I'm going to die here like this? I thought I was strong? I began contemplating life as I laid there in the nest of the dark dungeon. I fell asleep thinking of what to do.
I woke up as I heard a loud sound. What was that? I looked around and there was nothing but darkness. I got up and moved around in the cave but there was nothing there. If I just keep laying here I will die. I need to think of something! How do I use my skills to grow if everything around me is too strong for me to even come close to killing?! My stomach rumbled as I walked around the nest. I fell to the floor and cried.
I stayed there crying for a very long time and when I finished I realized, there is nobody here to help me. I got betrayed because I am weak. Nobody came back for me. Is it because I'm useless? I got up and left the nest. I walked around realizing that I was useless to everyone since coming to this world. I need to survive with my own power and do what I can. Fuck them all.
While walking I found something that looked like a worm. I Inspected it before walking up to it.
Cannot Inspect dead creatures.
It's dead? I walked up to it and picked it up. It was heavy but was enough for me to carry. I walked back to the nest and when I arrived I received a Popup that startled me.
Your「Growth」skill has allowed your stats to increase. Your Strength and Vitality attributes have increased by +2
Wait what? Increased by +2? Why? Is it because I'm holding this heavy worm? I have been training for three weeks now and my stats have not increased. Why now? No, not now. My stats increased but its obviously not enough for me to do any more than I am doing right now. Once I figure out why it increased now maybe I can do it again.
I dropped the worm in the nest and thought about what to do next. I had no food and I brought the worm to eat it but...should I really be eating a giant worm. My stomach rumbled indicating that I needed to eat now. I took a bite out of the worm and it was disgusting. I kept on eating because I needed to if I wanted to survive. When I was finished I almost threw up. But, it's still food.
After eating I thought about the「Growth」skill. How is it activated? Okay, in the three weeks we trained in the training rooms with dummies to hit with our desired weapon. Because we were in a group there was not really any checking up on anyone and how well they were doing. I was trying my hardest to hide my stats from everyone. I trained but not to the point where I was dying of sweat. But when I carried the worm I wasn't out of breath either. But if I think about what situation I was in then it all makes sense. I'm in a dungeon trying to survive and I needed food at the time I went to look for some. While training in the camp I was not fighting for anything. I just wanted to get it done. Could it be that when「Growth」and「Learning」 are survival based skills? Do I need to have the intent to survive? I think I'm close. As long as I am actually trying to survive I can get more skills.
Your「Growth」skill has worked together with your「Learning」skill to create a new skill.
New skill achieved:「Thought Process Lv.1」
Eh? Can I inspect that? I tried to inspect the skill and it worked.
「Though Process Lv.1」
A skill that allows the user to think at a faster rate and find reasonable solutions. Every level increases the effectiveness of the skill.
Did I get a new skill just from thinking? It seems I was right. I'm not as useless as I thought. I at least have a chance to survive and I am going to take that chance.
