Battle Royale, group battles, and individual competitions may not be strange to Lubius. They've been around a lot in his past life, but labyrinth crawlers. Perhaps this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing. But after seeing it on the internet and the like, he could understand what was happening. Because there was another big change due to the existence of Eron in this world.

It was the fact that animals were also affected by the Eron that was flying around in this world. So that it not only made them big, but also had elements like monsters in stories and games. Sometimes the animals might even take a large amount of Eron without humans realizing it. So that their size and strength were so strong that they were on the level of a major disaster like tornadoes, earthquakes and the like in Lubius' past life.

It happened a lot in the world and even in the history of the world, it wasn't unusual for a civilization to be destroyed by an attack from an animal that had become huge and powerful. In fact, there are many history books where kingdoms in the past allied to defeat one big beast.

It was quite something to read about—

However, in the end, thanks to technological advances, humans finally managed to create a building called a labyrinth, which can be said to utilize a combination of waves and Eron to summon and allow Eron-sensitive animals to enter the building. They gathered the animals in the building and observed and also exterminated them when they began to enter into a fairly high level beast.

Then the reason why humans allowed the beasts to transform. The most important thing was because of the resources obtained from animals that turned into Beasts. Because when the animal became a Beast because it got a high level of Eron, the skin, meat and other things inside the Beasts could become resources in making various things in this world.

Because as in the fantasy stories in Lubisu's past life, the loot obtained from skinning Beasts that had a high level of Eron could be stronger than iron or steel in this world. Sometimes it even provided things like magic stones and the like. Some labyrinths were even created as sporting events and the like.

Even so, the Labyrinth was not that perfect and there could still be some Beasts that were not fooled and became a big disaster in various places, especially in places that are difficult to reach by humans. Examples are dense forests in the tropics, large barren deserts, high mountains and usually the most dangerous areas would be the oceans.

So there were specialized Eron users who solved the problem, they explored those places to make sure there were no Beasts that could be a big disaster for humans and they were called by Hunter.

It wouldn't be strange if videos, stories and gossip about them were world-famous, as they are essentially a mix of the best athletes and heroes who protect humanity from disaster.

So it was easy for Lubius to see one of the videos where the best Eron users were documented. It was like watching an animated movie with amazing detailed animation. Because what those Eron users were doing was basically a reality in this world. When he saw the various videos… Lubius couldn’t believe what he saw… It was something that was only seen in the movies, anime and games…

And these women could do it…

Lubius was so amazed that the next thing he felt was envy. He also wanted to be able to do magic like that… But he was reborn as an Eron user who is far below average. So that he could be categorized as a disabled person in this world.

Then Lubius thoughtfully spent almost an entire night instead of finding out what kind of work he was interested in. He spent time looking up how someone could increase Eron's capacity. Of course on the internet there were many different ways that were recommended, some sounded absurd, some even looked like a scam. Even so, Lubius continued to search and search… because he hoped to at least do something with Eron.

Lubius was already in a world that mingled with fantasy after all... He couldn't possibly miss the chance to do fantasy stuff. But after seeing various info on the internet and the like.

The only sure things to increase Eron's capacity were money and contacts. Because he had come from an ordinary family, although from the talk of his mother and father it was likely that they knew an important family. From the info he got at least getting loot from Beasts could help increase Eron's capacity and similar things. However, of course, they were very expensive and the market was usually controlled by the rich and powerful.

It wasn't something that was easy to come by.

“Hah… In the end, the easiest way would be to become rich… Geez, usually people like me who get transmigrated and the like get some cheat power or something. I can’t even remember every line from one movie or story. So, I also like to copy things from my previous life. It won't be 100 percent the same and will most likely be a plagiarized item. Or a cheap knock-off... Ugh… Somehow I don’t want to do that…” Lubius spoke before he finally started to get a little sleepy, in the end even though he had a little tension beforehand imagining the possibility that if he fell asleep there was a possibility of waking up not in the same place.

Lubius could have woken up and found himself in a hospital room after drowning. Or maybe what happened to him was the darkness of the non-existence of life after death. When he thought about it, it would not be strange for someone to have trouble sleeping if he had this situation.

Even so, in the end, after all the things that happened today and Lubius searching for things about his new world for most of the night. It wasn't strange that he gradually fell asleep on his bed. Though there were still many things he wanted to know, his body could not lie. He gradually fell asleep.

…

……

………

"Lubius... it's time for breakfast..."

Lubius slowly opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar ceiling. It felt like he had just had a strange dream where he moved into the body of an alternate self in a futuristic yet fantasy-like world. He looked around and slowly realized what happened yesterday was not a dream.

“Yes… I'll be down soon." Lubius replied as he yawned and since he had spent almost all night surfing the internet he still felt a little dizzy and sleepy. He glanced at his cell phone to see that it was already a little past time for breakfast.

Lubius could feel his stomach getting hungry especially after he spent most of the night looking at the internet. He finally got up from his bed and went to the bathroom. He could see his appearance which was practically an animated embodiment of his past life. He stood at 178cm tall with black hair, black eyes and light brown skin.

Lubius' mother Jamila has fairer skin while his father Guraj has a darker brownish complexion than the norm. So his appearance was in the middle between the two of them. Basically, it looked like an avatar from the world of games that looks super realistic, but still looks animated.

"I was too focused on my debt problems to notice my new look. Well, even though it's not much different..." Lubius murmured as he finally finished washing his open without forgetting to brush his teeth.

Lubius felt a little refreshed before he went downstairs and finally sat down at the dining table. Before then he ate the food prepared by his father. It was still unusual to see his father who was currently seen cleaning the kitchen. While his mother was not seen at home, she had probably gone to work.

Lubius himself also couldn't help observing his father who in this world had a shorter body, slightly paler skin and was also leaner. It was likely that his father had never worked out and in his youth had a different life in this world than in his previous one. It was something Lubius could feel a little bit himself after he observed his body closely. He realized that his body in this world was thinner and leaner.

Lubius wasn't very muscular in his previous life, but right now his body felt a little worse for wear, something that probably happened because he had been confined to his room for months.

“I wonder if I should do something about it. At least, I need to go out once a while to get some sunlight. I guess.” Lubius spoke as he washed the dishes after he finished eating, something he used to do in his past life. However, he could see his father's shocked face at such a trivial thing.

Once again it showed that Lubius in this world was spoiled by his family.
