Chapter 3: Trapped Inside A Dungeon ----- I had been a bit too conceited. At that time, I hadn’t remembered that Anna’s life in the novel was filled with despair. The author was cruel, using her as a device to constantly bring disasters and challenges to the main character by placing her in extreme danger. One such unexpected event occurred when Anna was finally awakened by her brother, only for a Dungeon Break to emerge right in front of her, teleporting her into the heart of a dangerous, monster-infested dungeon. At the age of seventeen, I’m still too young to die! And just like now, still in my hospital clothes, I found myself in the middle of a desolate cavern-type dungeon. “Dammit.” I quickly looked around, seeing nothing but stone walls and a narrow passage leading elsewhere. The darkness was faintly illuminated by blue and pink crystals growing on the ceiling. It was so silent that every movement seemed to echo. I could even hear the beating of my heart and the creaking of my bones. This is bad. Why? Because the novel’s story is told from the protagonist’s viewpoint. I have no idea how Anna survived this dungeon. One wrong step, and I might change the story, bringing her death even sooner. Just after being given a new chance in life, am I going to die already? “What is this sweet smell? Ah! That’s…!” Suddenly, I recalled something. The Abyssal Caves, where Anna and many of the hospital staff were summoned, were filled with high-ranking materials! Right behind me was an enormous bed of pink and purple flowers I hadn’t noticed before. The beautiful flowers emitted colorful auras, creating sparkles. “Those are… I think they’re called {Everose Lilies} and {Rotten Heart Roses}.” Both were high-ranking materials, one ideal for crafting potions and healing, the other used to create deadly poison. Without hesitation, I stepped towards them. I need to grab anything I can if I don’t want to die! Wasting no time, I reached for the pink Everose Lilies. FLASH! As I grasped one, my hands began to glow with golden light. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} is pleased that you’re knowledgeable about many plants!] [She has graciously granted you a skill to sponsor your new life!] [You acquired the [Gatherer (F Rank): Lv1] Innate Skill!] ----- [Gatherer (F Rank): Lv1] [Skill EXP]: [10/100] A Special Innate Skill that allows the user to gather materials from dungeons in perfect condition and store them in a personal interdimensional inventory with unlimited storage. The higher the level, the better the quality of gathered materials. Level Bonus (1): Item Quality +110% (Maximum of B Rank). 5% Chance for a Gathered Item to Rank Up an Extra Quality Rank or Evolve. ----- [She hopes you find many new ingredients in the future!] Oh, the Constellations. Even now, they’re watching me. They probably don’t want this to end so soon, do they? Suddenly, the Everose Lily in my hands vanished after emitting a golden glow. What just happened? Where did it go? [You’ve stored [Everose Lily (C Rank)] x1 in your Inventory!] [Oh? [Everose Lily (C Rank)] x1 has Ranked Up to B Rank!] [Do you wish to dismantle it?] Oh, it was stored in the Inventory. That was alarming, thinking things could just vanish from my hands. I need to be careful how I handle this. “Dismantle it? I can even do that. Alright.” [You’ve Dismantled [Everose Lily (B Rank)] x1!] [You acquired [Everose Lily Roots (B Rank)] x1, [Everose Lily Flower (B Rank)] x1, [Everose Lily Stem (B Rank)] x1, and [Everose Lily Crystal (B Rank)] x1!] “Oh…” Wait, the crystal! I remember it has a beneficial effect. ----- [Everose Lily Crystal (B Rank)] x1 A special, high-quality crystal containing the heart and essence of the Everose Lily. When consumed, it restores a large amount of HP and increases all Stats by +10 for 3 minutes. The buff can stack, and the duration resets each time the same item is consumed. ----- A buff! Just what I needed. It’s only three minutes, though. But it resets
