Solo Dungeon Streamer-I Am Overpowered

Unlike the real deep sea, I don\'t feel like I\'m falling endlessly into a bottomless abyss, but just walking through complete darkness."

: This would give anyone with thalassophobia a heart attack.

: Even without a fear of the ocean, this is terrifying.

: Thalassophobia is no joke, man.

: People with that fear probably already noped out of this stream.

: Honestly, I feel like everyone has a mild fear of the ocean, at least.

: It\'s the extreme cases that are really intense.

: I\'ve played games where you explore the deep sea, and yeah, they\'re terrifying, just like this.

: With Tenko-san holding the camera, it really feels like watching a third-person game.

: But seeing you walking around underwater with a glowing sword is kind of funny.

There are all sorts of phobias out there, just like there are strange allergies people have. Thalassophobia—fear of the ocean—is hard for the average person to understand, but I\'ve heard that even looking at the ocean can freak people out. Humanity\'s diversity is amazing.

That said, it\'s not like I\'m entirely immune to fear. As I walk through this pitch-black underwater world, I can feel a natural sense of unease. However, the comment section and Tenko occasionally talking to me keeps the loneliness at bay. The fear of something lurking in the darkness? Well, that\'s just a typical day in the dungeon for me.

: Hey, how\'s Sagojo able to see?

: No clue, lol.

: He just swims off into the dark and brings back magic stones.

: How does he even sense anything in this deep sea?

: Vibes?

: Stop making things up, lol.

: Maybe he senses magic or something.

Even I don\'t know. Maybe he\'s detecting changes in the water flow?

I mean, I did create the basic form of Sagojo, but whatever the entity I summoned is doing, I don\'t fully understand it either. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

"Huh... is that a shell?"

: That shell\'s empty, isn\'t it?

: Looks like it\'s been eaten.

: How does something get eaten underwater, lol?

: RIP shell dude, even in the dungeon, you\'re just food.

"No, maybe it never had anything inside to begin with? There\'s no sign it was eaten, and the monsters here shouldn\'t prey on each other..."

Just as I said that, the shell suddenly started moving. Wait, why is it moving if there\'s nothing inside? As I peered into the shell, it tried to slam shut on me, but Sagojo darted in and caught it with one hand.

: A shell monster that moves on its own? For real?

: It\'s not even alive, lol.

: It\'s a dungeon; golems exist, so why not?

: That\'s fair.

: I still don\'t get why it\'s moving with no insides.

: Who knows? lol

The shell tried its best to close, but Sagojo\'s strength was too much for it. After a moment, it gave up and opened wide. Sagojo then smashed his trident into the lower half of the shell, cracking it before pulverizing it into pieces. The shattered shell twitched once before dissolving into dust.

"...That was way more brute force than I expected."

: Dude, you made him, remember?

: He\'s your Shikigami, lol.

: RIP shell monster.

: Let\'s not forget, this is still only the mid-levels.

: There\'s no way Kisaragi-kun is going to struggle in the mid-levels.

Well, that\'s true. But since these mid-level floors are unexplored, I want to take my time and examine everything. Every monster I encounter is interesting, and I\'d love to explore them all thoroughly.

"Anyway, let\'s keep moving forward."

: Something\'s on the ground.

: Is that a magic stone?

: Nah, Sagojo\'s already carrying the magic stone.

: Looks like just a rock.

"This... looks like an ore. It\'s tiny, so even if I extracted it, there wouldn\'t be much, but there\'s definitely some metallic sheen to it."

There were rumors that the Nagoya Dungeon was full of rare metals. I don\'t know if someone who\'s actually explored here started that rumor, or if they found traces of it in the upper levels. Either way, it seems like there\'s some truth to it. So I might just come across some rare metals deeper down.

: So the rare metals in the Nagoya Dungeon are real, huh?

: Wait, I thought that was just a myth, like Tokugawa\'s buried treasure?

: I honestly thought it was just an urban legend.

: It\'s a little early for it to be an urban legend, don\'t you think?

: Give it a few decades, and anything can turn into one.

: If you find a big enough chunk, you could sell it for more than a magic stone.

: A deep-level magic stone would still sell for more.

: Then why even bother with rare metals, lol.

Well, rare metals are valuable since they\'re used in everything from cars to computers and smartphones. Still, I don\'t know enough to identify what kind of ore this is just by looking at it.

"If I find something bigger, I\'ll consider bringing it back. For now, the focus is on clearing the dungeon."

: The dungeon association must be freaking out, lol.

: Freak out all they want, Kisaragi-kun\'s the only one who can explore this place.

: LMAO.

: What if someone in full diver gear tries?

: This is a dungeon, bro. What about the monsters?

: Not to mention, how would they deal with the water pressure?

: Yeah, that\'s not happening.

: That\'s why Nagoya Dungeon isn\'t meant for regular humans.

: What about Kisaragi-kun?

: He\'s not human, clearly.

: Lol, at this point, he\'s just a superhuman.

"Anyway, I haven\'t bumped into anything, so it seems like finding these rare metals is a bit out of my reach right now."

Even so, it\'s funny how this place still feels like a proper dungeon despite being in complete darkness. The ground is stable, almost like concrete. If I somehow lit up this entire area, I wonder if it\'d look like an ancient city. That\'d be a cool discovery. I love stuff like that.

"Let\'s keep moving forward and chase after the dream of an underwater city, shall we?"

: What\'s that supposed to mean, lol?

: Stop making up random settings.

: Your thought process is all over the place, man.
