“━Kieeeek!!”

━Sruurrr.

With a brief cry, a bizarre creature with the head of a goat and the body of a grasshopper collapses.

“Ugh… This thing is disgusting every time I see it.”

Its head is a goat's, and its body is that of an insect, but it's the size of an elephant. This monster, aptly named the Goatgrasshopper, is a challenging B-rank creature. Even adventurers in a party often struggle against it.

However, at this moment, it lies in two halves, cleaved by my sharply honed sword.

“Let’s see… its outer skin would make decent armor…”

No matter how much of a goat its head is, I won’t be eating a creature with an insect body, so I only gather the materials suitable for crafting.

It’s already been 10 months and 12 days since I arrived here. I have about a day left before my time outside runs out.

I have about a month and a half left.

“This time, I must find it.”

So far, I have yet to discover the key. This place, the Bottom of Tarros, changes its terrain every time you enter, making it futile to memorize the key's location. I have to search around directly.

As a year approaches, I still haven’t found it. With time passing, my anxiety grows, and I feel increasingly mentally strained.

To find the key, I naturally have to traverse the fields, which increases the chances of encountering monsters. Frequent battles wear down my body and keep my nerves on edge.

In the beginning, my low stats and sluggishness put my life in jeopardy on several occasions. The Calorie Burn skill also requires food, so using it too often could lead to serious problems; I’ve only activated it in dire situations.@@novelbin@@
