Lately, has anyone else seen someone running at a crazy speed?
328 Anonymous Adventurer
Saw that too
What the hell are they even doing?
329 Anonymous Adventurer
Couldn't they just be running from monsters?
People do normally run around inside dungeons, you know
330 Anonymous Adventurer
Nah, it didn't feel like that kind of thing
331 Anonymous Adventurer
Then what kind of thing IS it?
332 Anonymous Adventurer
Why are you getting so worked up, lol
Well, how do I put it—like someone speedrunning a marathon, kind of
333 Anonymous Adventurer
Our party saw them too
We saw this light moving at insane speed and all went "oh crap!"
334 Anonymous Adventurer
Nothing scary happens in layers this low all that often, surely
335 Anonymous Adventurer
Which floor are we even talking about here
Never seen any such thing
336 Anonymous Adventurer
Dunno
337 Anonymous Adventurer
If you don't know, shut up then
338 Anonymous Adventurer
The one I saw was on Floor 1
Moving at that speed, I'd guess they're a C-rank adventurer or something
339 Anonymous Adventurer
C-ranks use teleport circles to get to floor 11, so they wouldn't be in the low floors, no?
Well, if they were gathering materials or something, who knows
340 Anonymous Adventurer
Hey, is this guy by any chance that solo dude?
I might kind of have an idea who it is
341 Anonymous Adventurer
If you know them, could you tell them to knock it off?
That's just straight-up dangerous
342 Anonymous Adventurer
They're running at WHAT speed lmao
Maybe they're an adventurer-athlete? lolol
343 Anonymous Adventurer
Sorry to hack this thread's flow to pieces, but I'm a newbie who became an adventurer this spring
How did everyone get over the giant centipedes?
They're so gross I get goosebumps every single time, I can't help it
344 Anonymous Adventurer
Normally I'd say take questions to the Q&A thread, but you're a newbie, so fine, I'll tell you
The answer: nobody has ever gotten over them
345 Anonymous Adventurer

346 Anonymous Adventurer
You never really get used to them, no matter how long it takes
347 Anonymous Adventurer
N-no way… despair
348 Anonymous Adventurer
lol
Hang in there
349 Anonymous Adventurer
It's a road everyone walks
If anything, the fact you haven't quit over it means you've got talent
350 Anonymous Adventurer
I was lucky—my starting skill was 【Throwing】, so throwing rocks keeps me managing
From a distance the gross is still gross, though
351 Anonymous Adventurer
Ugh, I'm jealous!
That's a mega jackpot!
I got 【Meditation】, so it's seriously useless for anything
352 Anonymous Adventurer
lol
353 Anonymous Adventurer
【Meditation】 isn't a bad skill, mind you
As a starting skill, though, it's probably a dud
354 Anonymous Adventurer
That's the MP recovery one, right?
355 Anonymous Adventurer
Yep
356 Anonymous Adventurer
>>340
I've sort of got an idea too—or rather, isn't that that solo high schooler who's been standing out lately?
No clue why they're running, though
357 Anonymous Adventurer
MP recovery is a must for anyone who uses magic, you know
358 Anonymous Adventurer
Solo high schooler—wait, the one in the jersey with a steel pipe?
359 Anonymous Adventurer
That guy actually exists?
That's way too reckless
360 Anonymous Adventurer
Apparently they registered not long ago
Anyone who doesn't come around much probably wouldn't know them
361 Anonymous Adventurer
Solo is hard enough as is, and with gear that flimsy on top? That's basically walking to your death
362 Anonymous Adventurer
And yet they keep coming back without a scratch…
363 Anonymous Adventurer
That's a crazy promising one
Are they recruiting for a party or anything?
364 Anonymous Adventurer
No idea, but I've never seen any recruitment like that
365 Anonymous Adventurer
Then they're probably solo-only?
Rare for a kid these days
366 Anonymous Adventurer
Gwah! So he's one of those "drew a great skill" genius types!
I'm so jealous I'm going bald
367 Anonymous Adventurer
So, bottom line: why is that high school boy running?
368 Anonymous Adventurer
Who knows…
369 Anonymous Adventurer
Beats me
370 Anonymous Adventurer
Theory: there's just something wrong with his head
371 Anonymous Adventurer
Someone ask him next time
372 Anonymous Adventurer
I spotted a kid who looked like that high schooler at the café the other day
He was hauling back a ton of low-floor gathering materials and handing them to some girl who looked like a production type
373 Anonymous Adventurer
Damn, the guy's a legit winner in life
374 Anonymous Adventurer
If he were out gathering materials, he wouldn't be running
Maybe it's a different guy after all?
375 Anonymous Adventurer
Hold on, though—as long as he hasn't caused any incident, we shouldn't be identifying or digging into private individuals, period
376 Anonymous Adventurer
Fair
377 Anonymous Adventurer
True
378 Anonymous Adventurer
He's a high schooler with a future—let's watch over him warmly if he stands out a little
379 Anonymous Adventurer
Well then, in the interest of changing the subject: what's the ore-mining scene like lately?
380 Anonymous Adventurer
What do you mean, "what's it like"?
381 Anonymous Adventurer
There was that whole drama a while back, right?
Multiple parties overlapping on mining spots, staking out territories and all that
382 Anonymous Adventurer
That was ages ago, I'd forgotten all about it
Nowadays they just take turns, normally
Seems they worked out a scheduling arrangement after the fights
Still splitting into guard crews and mining crews and hogging the low-monster spots, as always
383 Anonymous Adventurer
I see—so it's peaceful again, more or less
384 Anonymous Adventurer
Peaceful, if you want to call it that
385 Anonymous Adventurer
By the way, the bulletin board says they're recruiting members with 【Mining】 anytime
If you've got it, could be decent money
386 Anonymous Adventurer
Best case that pays a bit better than a part-time job
387 Anonymous Adventurer
Trying to earn a living at E or D rank is the mistake in the first place
388 Anonymous Adventurer
The pay doesn't match the danger
Centipedes are gross too—no wonder everyone quits
389 Anonymous Adventurer
But there's a dream in it, you know
Make B-rank or above and you can buy a mansion and live easy for the rest of your life
The flood of newbies that pours in every year is all the proof you need
390 Anonymous Adventurer
A fleeting dream, though
391 Anonymous Adventurer
Dreams, huh. To hold great big dreams… I, too, had a time like that.
392 Anonymous Adventurer
Don't give up, man
393 Anonymous Adventurer
Is there any chance at all for someone in their 30s?
394 Anonymous Adventurer
No
395 Anonymous Adventurer
Dungeons are meritocracies all the way down
It's not impossible
396 Anonymous Adventurer
Don't mess with the guy, spouting random stuff
397 Anonymous Adventurer
Way too many people in this thread radiating tragic vibes
398 Anonymous Adventurer
Look who's talking, buddy
399 Anonymous Adventurer
God, that takes me back, lmao
400 Anonymous Adventurer
This thread suddenly reeks of middle-aged men
401 Anonymous Adventurer
Most thread regulars being old dudes is a given, honestly
402 Anonymous Adventurer
Young folks read this thread too, so let's behave ourselves, hmm~?
403 Anonymous Adventurer
Come to think of it, haven't seen that high school party lately
They were still D-rank, right?
404 Anonymous Adventurer
They're just going to school like normal people
The solo kid showing up on weekdays is the weird one
405 Anonymous Adventurer
The kid's living life in the fast lane, huh
No matter how fast they rush, they'll stall out at C-rank anyway
Even if they make B-rank, they'll be old men and women by then—might as well enjoy high school while they can
406 Anonymous Adventurer
Youth is meant to be cherished
407 Anonymous Adventurer
Dunno about the solo kid, but the high school party
Aren't they aiming to clear floor 10 over summer break?
To make C-rank, the only path is an overnight run during a proper stretch of time off to take down the boss, after all
408 Anonymous Adventurer
Exactly
The bar's way too high
409 Anonymous Adventurer
If I remember right, all of them have combat skills—two vanguard, two rear guard, one healer, or something
A party with the golden balance, that one
Honestly, they've got the vibe they'll hit C-rank before even graduating
410 Anonymous Adventurer
The healer girl was super cute
Getting healed by her if you got hurt? Too enviable
411 Anonymous Adventurer
Gross
412 Anonymous Adventurer
Imagine saying all that and then the solo kid hits C-rank first—hilarious
413 Anonymous Adventurer
Not happening
414 Anonymous Adventurer
A solo C-rank? Impossible for a college student, let alone a high schooler
415 Anonymous Adventurer
Word is, someone with insane physicals from overseas might have a shot
416 Anonymous Adventurer
This is Japan, though
417 Anonymous Adventurer
Well then, no chance, eh
418 Anonymous Adventurer
The kid's got better odds than anyone ranting in this thread, that's for sure
419 Anonymous Adventurer
So sad, man…
