Is It Wrong For A Gamer To Be In The Dungeon? Familia Myth Of Zetta

"Urgh! The hell? Where am I?"

Ssk! Ssk-!

Sssk! Ssssk-!

As I opened up my eyes, after hearing that something is tearing apart and a stabbing sound.

I look from left to right and discovered that the main source of it is an elf using dagger who continuously stabbing the meat-like cave where we currently are. Everytime she stab, the cave shakes as we stumbled for a couple of times

"Eh?", My mind is all fuzzy as I started to stand up. I then discovered that my stamina isn't completely restored as of yet.

I open up my inventory but only remained is one digit of stack of Stamina Potion that I have, and that's the biggest problem.

But before I could grab one of them I felt like my lower body are searing in heat, and surprise motherf.u.c.ker-the water that I thought all this time is originally a green colored acid that slowly melting my clothed equipment.

"AHHH!?" Out of fear I cried out, and unequip my boots and scarf and cursed out "Damn you! Thats my favorite gear!"

"Y-you're awake now?" Ryuu, who still stabbing the creature of who knows what and when, sweated, looking at me as her cloak are slowly dissolving but below her eye is a dark eyebags. Wear out.

"Where are we?"

"Isn't it obvious? Inside this monsters stomach" she answers and continued her business

"Eh?" I look around, and yes, this isn't a cave but a stomach!?

"Eh, what?" She replies

"W-what? when, how, why!?"

"Stop questioning or we'll be dissolve in no time!" She answers hurriedly, as if she is losing her time

"Ah? Eh... o-okay? But are you always this strict?" Unconsciously pouted, I replied.

What happen to me? I know for sure that this isn't my personality, and why am I stuttering? Why am I agitated just answering her? Is it because we're inside the monster?

No, I don't think so... is this a bliss? talking to her alone is a bliss for me?

F*ck me! What bliss!?

Were inside the monster stomach, shikshou! Get ahold of yourself Zetta!! I swore out and shake off my head for myself to return back to reality. Thereafter, activating <Haize Pala> after reequipping my sword, I at the same time cut the meat she just stabbing...

After a couple of slashing, the monster howled in pain and we successfully went out of its stomach at last, but I felt like my mind is a bit dizzy yet again. Damn it, my consciousness is fading but get ahold snow white bastard! Stop sleeping will you? You don't want to be a burden to her, right? Is what I thought and refrained myself from losing consciousness again

And as we went out, I realize the monster who eat us is the snake, big enough to eat 1 whole two-storey bus just seeing its jaw, it has 2 heads in two ends and has horn in each of them, but it started to slither towards the nearest river after a couple of wail and submerged. Oh I forgot to Appraise it... oh well not that I care. I wish it won't resurface any moment now.

Looking to where it retreated, I realize, this is the first time I saw a monster retreated from its prey. Welp, that Juggernaut did the same too. I'm sorry.

And as for now, fortunate or unfortunate we're saved and I decided not to take any stamina potion for now as I don't know when to end this adventure of mine. I have to believe on my own regeneration ability for now-but now that I think about it, have I even rely on my self regeneration? Is what I thought.

Meanwhile, I skim over my Inventory but didn't discover anymore healing skill other than the potion. Sighing, I forgot I already gave them to Meowsui.

Well, past is past and what's done is done, so lets forget about that.

As for my scarf and boots whose now inside my inventory, I was now standing without a footwear and it doesn't feel comfortable at all. Even my clothed armor has melted, I can't equip that said gear for now to stop its dissolving process while inside my inventory, and I have to know how to disperse that acid later, or else that Boots and remaining scarf with the effect of [Charm Nullification] are gone for good. And/or I'll become the living target of 'that Woman' for sure.

Either way, we still alive and kicking but clothes of Ryuu's upper body, are slowly decaying in front of my very eyes...

"Aiya ya ya ya, I-I-I didn't see any, r-r-really!" I close my eyes and turned around, again, I stuttered.

Oh well, I'm not lucky enough to see any of her *cough* ain't I? Wait, now that I think about it... did that rabbit also peek at my Goddess' n.a.k.e.d body from that time?! Grunted, I felt pain.

'Damn, I will confirm them later and punish that lucky bastard...' is what I thought.

※ ※ ※

After of what Zetta have said, Ryuu realize that her body are now completely n.a.k.e.d as she immediately covers them using her cloak, but the lower part of her cloak are also dissolving slowly, enough for her to be n.a.k.e.dly whole after a couple of minutes of waiting

Without thinking through, She then slash the part that's been dissolving and thanks to this, only her upper torso couldn't be seen...

Zetta's whole body at the same time are shivering, hearing the sound of clothes thats being tearing apart. The heart of a real man is taking over his body but resists them as his teeth are clacking and silently chanted "O mother of the earth, god of the earth, please help me and stop me from doing anything today and let this mind stay away from the temptation. O mother of the earth, god of the earth. . ." He didn't stop until he snap back from the elven voice.

"Please be seated... b-but don't dare looking in here, or I'll cut you down!" Is what she said so she too seated down as we facing our back from each other and then clamp her whole body for her cloak to cover the whole of her frail looking body from the cold breeze.

When their two skins touched on each other, Zetta feels his body tinged from a mere touch as his heart beats fast. Fast enough that he squeeze his heart out.

Dugun-

Dugun Dugun-

Racing, Zetta couldn't help himself but to heavily and silently exhale and inhale... He took off his other scarf out of his inventory and threw it behind his back, landed infront of the body of Ryuu.

This isn't the normal scarf as it also has nullification effect. But because he felt she needed an upper clothes for now, he gave it to her "Take it" is what he muffled.

And at the same time, he fetch off the nearest wood and lit it up.

He didn't saw, but Ryuu, silently turned red and ask "how about you? Aren't your clothes also been dissolved?"

"Worry about yourself first before others!" Fl.u.s.tered in red, Zetta answered, his heart didn't stop beating as if it was about to burst out at any given moment...

"look who's talking"

He didn't reply from her remarks but muffled a question "...I wonder how many hours since I've lost my consciousness" as he saw that the dungeon is getting darker and darker despite the feeling that he slept for only a couple of hours.

Ryuu at the same time, responded "for 6 whole hours, at the very least"

"You're not trolling me, are you?"

"No I'm not lying, you helplessly slept there without doing anything. Also, all of my spells is already been used but we get out of it just with your overpowering skill... sigh" after her long helpless sigh of defeat, she silent still.

And so afterwards she muttered "Is it... alright... If I sleep... for a while?" Without any strength in her tone, she said.

"Go on, I won't leave you here"

"U-hm, Thanks"

Thereafter, Ryuu change her position and lay her head atop of his shoulder coming from his back, while their both sides are now touching, he felt one soft small mountain touches his back as he sweated and gulp 'd-damn!' he swore again and started to chant for the second time.

Zetta didn't know. But with those 6 hours of him being unconscious, Ryuu carried him for his clothes not to get decayed while attacking the snake with spells until she felt having a mind down. Without any other choice left, she casts <Noah Heal> on Zetta even though its too taxing for her body for using it more than once in a single day and made her cough up a couple of blood in return.

Then, the unconscious Zetta's body separated from her. And in desperation as she felt of having a mind down, she then stab the snake body in the same area to inflict more damage hoping it would open up. And even if the probability of them from exiting there are so low, probability are still probability. She even decided to sacrifice herself for him to survive but then, like a miracle, he opened up his eyes.

It was a miracle for her too, that she can still converse with Zetta until this point even though she should having a mind down just a couple of hours ago.

And so the present came, that remembering them made her smile while sleeping. She was happy that they were still alive. For the record, he didn't saw her smiling face

The ignorant Zetta didn't know how agonizing it was for this elf, but he was sure as his equipment is only just started dissolving the moment he opened his eyes, so he still have an idea of what was happened with those 6 long hours of agonizing inside that stomach.

Unconsciously glance at her green hair and pointy ear, Zetta softly rubbed them and closed his eyes.

He then mutters "It was a long hour of suffering for a fragile elf like you, so... have a good sleep, then" and added, "I won't leave you behind, so... take your time"

After that, he open his inventory
