“Raaah!” Diablo slashed with his sword, stabbing his blade into the neck of a gigantic Madara Snake that jumped out of a lake. Drops of blood stained the air.

Kuh! It didn’t cut him down!

In the game, a Madara Snake was a level 60 monster, but in this world, it came off as a little weaker than that. Diablo had beaten it this time, with some difficulty, with the help of Rem’s summons and Shera’s bow.

Fighting them one-on-one is kinda challenging... I suppose I’m somewhere around level 50 as a warrior then?

That was the impression he got after the battle ended. This was another world, but it was a reality. There was no music that played when you won battles, no fanfares blaring to celebrate level-ups or rare items drops. It was quite dull. Worst of all, he had no indication of how many experience points he’d obtained, or if he received any at all. The numbers didn’t show up anywhere. Reality was so bland... How many more monsters would he have to beat to get the experience he needed? How many more experience points would he need to level up? Was the gear even working...?

He had no way of telling.

“God, what a shitty game.”

“...Is something wrong Diablo?”

“It’s nothing.”

He couldn’t help but feel respect for Rem who’d managed to level up to a level 50 summoner with these depressing mechanics. For now, though, he just had to believe that he was gaining experience the same way he did in the game.

A week after they started heading to the north of the Demon Lord’s domain, Diablo and his group found themselves at the foot of a mountain called Mount Tenzan. Despite its name, it had no relation to a certain aircraft...

The village at the base of the mountain was as peaceful as any settlement of the races. Soldiers and adventurers stuck out more here than they did in Faltra, but it wasn’t as gloomy as you would expect from a place where recluses and monks gathered. It was surrounded by walls, and both sides of the main street were lined with stalls and peddlers. Diablo and his group could even hear the shouts of an old man selling skewered meat from afar.

“Welcome, welcome! We got giant toad meat! It’s nice and soft!”

“...That sounds good, doesn’t it, Diablo?”

“Isn’t that a frog monster?”

“Look, Diablo, they’re selling all this fruit I’ve never seen before!”

“Are you sure they’re not poisonous?”

Rem and Shera seemed excited to be in a new, unknown town. Being adventurers, albeit each for their own reasons, meant they fundamentally enjoyed traveling. Diablo, on the other hand, was a shut-in, so his cautious nature took the driver’s seat.

Wasn’t this village just some unremarkable healing spot in the game...?

“You’re quite lively, aren’t you.”

“...We’re gathering intel, Diablo. I’ll ask the peddlers for information while I buy my skewers.”

“And I’m gonna buy some fruit!”

“Do what you wish.”

Diablo wasn’t any good when it came to talking to other people, so he left the information gathering to Rem and Shera.
