...Good morning.
...This is the worst.
Absolutely the worst.
What do you mean, "Taboo"?
It really is Taboo.
I should never have maxed this thing out.
I should have never found out.
D, that bastard — what kind of person has that kind of personality?
What good does it do to relay this kind of information to someone who would commit Taboo?
This is the worst.
I shouldn't have helped those adventurers back there.
It makes my skin crawl.
This is revolting.
This is the worst.
The Human race, the Demon race — they can all just die for all I care.
I feel sick.
What has Administrator Gyuriedistodiez been doing all this time?
Why let things get to this point when he could have stepped in?
It's not like those wretches deserve any mercy.
Extermination wouldn't even be enough.
...Ah, I know.
I know that's not possible, don't I?
I know, but even considering all that just makes me more frustrated.
What do I do?
Now that I know this, I can't just say it has nothing to do with me.
There's no time left.
I have to take action.
To do that, I need power.
My Status has gone up considerably with this Evolution.
But that's meaningless.
Power within W's system is, at the end of the day, power that only works inside the system.
If I'm going to start making moves now, I need enough power to interfere with the MA Field.
The Ruler-class authority grants three abilities, but that's not enough.
I need Administrator-class power.
That means I have no choice but to force my way up to Administrator class.
D had already anticipated this.
That bastard.
So that's what the n% I=W Skill was all about.
He probably thinks of it as his own twisted form of sincerity, but there's no way I can see it as anything other than him having planned for this exact outcome.
Son of a bitch.
So in the end, everything is still in the palm of his hand.
This is the worst, but I have no choice but to play along.
There are no other options.
...Damn it.
This is infuriating.
「Proficiency has reached a certain threshold. Skill 'Fury Lv1' acquired.」
Ah, right.
Whatever.
A skill like that is useless no matter how many I get.
...Wait. What if I offer up my Skills?
Could it work?
Yeah.
It might work.
In that case, I just need to keep raising my levels and growing my Skills the way I always have.
But I can't afford to take my time anymore.
I need to steel myself.
Once I've decided, there's no turning back.
Ideally, I'd just slaughter Humans and Demons en masse — that'd be the quickest path — but doing that would definitely draw Gyuriedistodiez's attention.
Even though he's been restrained by D, there's no way he wouldn't interfere.
With my current strength, I couldn't beat Gyuriedistodiez even if I stood on my head.
To keep him from getting in my way, I have to become stronger than he is.
Even if I can't reach that level, I need enough power to make him hesitate before acting.
I devour the snake corpse I'd left behind.
I need to recover the SP I lost from the Evolution first.
I finish eating the snake.
The other one — I can't afford to savor it slowly anymore.
I'll gobble it down quickly.
I teleport.
Destination: the Lower Layer.
I won't have any trouble with Monsters here.
Until now, I'd been using the Upper Layer as my base to prioritize safety, but I can't afford that luxury anymore.
Every Monster I spot, I hunt down one after another.
How much can I raise my level doing this?
How effective will it actually be?
I have no choice but to try.
I move.
I spot a Monster.
I Appraise it.
It's roughly eel-class in terms of strength.
But it's no match for the me of now.
「Experience Points have reached a certain threshold. Individual, Ede Saine has leveled up from Lv1 to Lv2.」
「Various base ability values have increased.」
「Skill Proficiency level-up bonus acquired.」
「Skill Points acquired.」
「Experience Points have reached a certain threshold. Individual, Ede Saine has leveled up from Lv2 to Lv3.」
「Various base ability values have increased.」
「Skill Proficiency level-up bonus acquired.」
「Skill Points acquired.」
「Experience Points have reached a certain threshold. Individual, Ede Saine has leveled up from Lv3 to Lv4.」
「Various base ability values have increased.」
「Skill Proficiency level-up bonus acquired.」
「Proficiency has reached a certain threshold. Skill 'Deadly Evil Eye Lv1' has become 'Deadly Evil Eye Lv2'.」
「Skill Points acquired.」
Three level-ups.
One Skill upgraded.
Not enough.
Not nearly enough.
I'll go in with the intention of wiping out every last Monster in the Lower Layer.
If a Earth Dragon shows up, I'll kill it without hesitation.
That useless vanguard — killing it would be perfectly fine.
Rather than letting it languish in some forgotten corner of this dungeon, it'd be far more useful as nourishment for me.
There shouldn't be any Dragons left in the Upper or Middle Layers.
Four remaining in the Lower Layer, and nine in the Very Bottom Layer.
I'll kill them all.
...Why on earth was I reincarnated into a world like this?
It'd be fine if this whole world just perished.
Why should I have to do anything for this world...
Ah, I know.
I know I have to do this.
But it's not for this world's sake.
It's for my own sake, and mine alone.
I'm doing this only for myself.
Otherwise, who in their right mind would do anything for a worthless shithole like this world?
This is the worst.
This is revolting.
I'll kill every living thing in this world.
It's the biggest pain in the ass imaginable, but I'll gain the power to tear this world apart.
