[February 10, 298]

While we were resting, another member of the party accidentally activated some kind of trap. Light was everywhere!!

When I woke up, I was alone in a strange place!!!

Oh my god, how could I get through the dungeon without my teammates since I'm very weak??

Aaaaaaaaa!

...

As I expected, his party was also separated. This must be when he fell into the teleportation trap.

...

[February 11, 298]

I didn't dare move around and just sat still in one place. I was afraid that if I wandered around and encountered a monster, I would die.

Now I just hoped that someone would find me.

But I'm the porter so I'm keeping all the food and drinks, without me, what will happen to Vivi?!!

...

Why are you still hung up on that girl? You need to think about yourself!

Well, he's dead anyway...

...

[February 15, 298]

Staying here forever is not the way, I have to move myself. I have a feeling that no one will find me if I stay in one place forever.

[February 16, 298]

Oh my god, I'm poisoned!!!! Why did I jump straight into danger as soon as I decided to move?

Why is my fate so unlucky?

[November 17, 298]

...I won't live much longer because there's no detoxify potion in my luggage...

If anyone finds my body, please tell Vivi that I love her very much.

There are a few mana recovery potions left in my luggage, so feel free to take them if you need them. After all, they will become ownerless when I die.

I'm an orphan, so I have no relatives, no one to report to. If you want to repay me for the potions, just tell Vivi that I, Parado, love her very much.

'Last page...'

After all, he was just a sentimental person. Until the last moment of his life, he only remembered that girl named Vivi. To the point that it clouded his reason.

I guess that girl and the entire team were wiped out. Without food, water, and recovery potions, they couldn't survive in the dungeon. Unless they found a way out or defeated the boss. Well, that's impossible.

"Well, let's see what's in his luggage."

I opened the luggage next to the skeleton, there wasn't much inside, it seemed like he and his teammates had used most of it. There were a total of 3 low-level mana recovery potions, 1 medium-level. 2 low-level stamina recovery potions. Some canned food and a few bottles of water. The food was useless because it had expired. But the water and the recovery potions were still usable.

As for recovery potions,I was too stingy to use them, which resulted in a significant decrease in my efficiency in searching for those two. These potions I got from the skeleton's luggage are like a rain during a drought, they will help me greatly. I quickly shoved them into my Storage Space and took a minute to mourn for Parado.

"I guess your Vivi isn't alive either. But if I find her, I'll pass on your message."

I don't even know if she's alive or dead. It's highly likely she's dead, but if she's still alive, I will fulfill your last wish...

Even so, he didn't even tell who Vivi is; just a name makes it almost impossible to track her down.

"Haizz."

I let out a sigh and continued moving, hoping to meet up with the other two soon.

A lovely girl with short, orange hair was moving cautiously in a narrow corridor. She tried to observe her surroundings to avoid accidentally activating any traps. But since she didn't have any useful skills for detecting traps, she couldn't help but activate a few along the way. Fortunately, she wasn't seriously injured.

Only now did Livy realize how formidable Danz was. When they were together, the group had never fallen into any traps. When she was alone, she still thought she could handle it well, but reality was always different from dreams. The naked eye could not compare to a skill, unless it was someone with a lot of experience in detecting traps.

From the beginning, Livy had realized that Danz was hiding an eye-related skill through his clumsy answer. On the way, she had also confirmed it because Danz's eyes would occasionally glow slightly, then he would come to a conclusion whether there was a trap ahead or not. And that skill seemed to consume a lot of mana and put pressure on the brain, making Danz mentally exhausted very quickly.

Suddenly, she felt very sorry for Danz. Because she was so useless, Danz had to use the skill so much that he was exhausted. Just when he had not rested for long, she activated the trap, leading to the group being scattered.

"Haaaa... Danny, just where are you now? Please don't let anything happen." Livy muttered.

'And Briar too...'

Although Briar's position in Livy's heart couldn't be compared to her parents and Danz, it wouldn't be low. Briar was only behind the three of them.

To Livy, Briar was a good friend, worth making friends with. She truly considered him a friend, not a fake one. He treated everyone around him sincerely, not just anyone. She really liked this side of him.

She herself knew that Briar was very strong, but worrying about a friend safety wasn't strange or wrong.

While she was thinking about something, she accidentally stepped on a trap. A loud noise came from in front of Livy.

This time, a large spherical rock was rapidly rolling towards her, making her only able to run back as fast as she could and turn onto another path, avoiding that rock.

"Ha...ha..."

'Soooo tired'. Livy gasped and sighed.

After a while of standing still, she finally caught her breath. She looked ahead at the path she had just turned into and thought.

'I'll just keep going this way'

She didn't know which direction to go anyway, this dungeon was a maze after all. It wouldn't matter if she just randomly picked a direction to go.

...

'Why do I feel so uneasy...'

Livy walked forward and didn't encounter any traps or monsters. This was an unusual sign and it made her feel extremely uneasy and uncomfortable.

She had always trusted her intuition, so when this feeling of unease arose, she hesitated to continue.

This time, in addition to the feeling of danger, she also had a hunch that she might meet Briar or Danz again if she continued moving forward. If she missed this opportunity, Livy didn't know when she would see them again. It made her hesitate, not knowing whether to retreat or move forward.

She stood there and hesitated for a while, but in the end, she decided not to turn back and continued forward. She raised her guard, ready to deal with any dangerous situation.

And just as Livy's intuition told her, not long after, she encountered a group of E-rank monsters consisting of 12 Zico Spiders - a type of spider that commonly appeared in labyrinth-like dungeons. This species was not very poisonous, but they were famous for their large size, sharp teeth, and super-strong silk.

With her current ability, confronting E- rank monsters was not impossible. But E- rank monsters traveling in groups was a different story.

'Not good!'

Just as she was thinking about what to do in this situation, a spider shot a web at her, forcing her to fight directly. Escaping in this situation was completely impossible now.

She jumped back and managed to avoid the web that the spider shot out. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Livy raised her bow and shot an arrow with the wind attribute. The arrow cut through the air and pierced straight into one of the spiders.

...At least that was what she thought.

In reality, as soon as she raised her bow, the spiders quickly formed a layer of hard silk and used it as a shield, blocking some of the arrow's power. This was exactly how Zico the spider defended - using its own silk as a shield to protect its weak body.

Seeing her arrow blocked, Livy frowned. She deftly retrieved three arrows from her quiver, once again drew her bow, and fired powerful wind arrows.

*Pfft pfft pfft*

All three arrows were stuck straight into a point on the shield in front of a spider. The force from them was so strong that it broke a fist-sized hole in the silk shield. Livy, with another arrow pulled tight, saw the hole formed, and let go, letting the arrow fly straight towards that hole.

*Pfft*

The arrow instantly pierced the spider's head, killing it instantly. Livy, however, felt no joy; on the contrary, her vigilance remained undiminished. She had only dealt with one of 12 spiders.

'There are still 11 more'. She was still focused on the spiders.

'That's not right! Where's the other one?'

There were only 10 spiders left in front of her now, the 11th had already disappeared.

Her face changed as she raised her head. A huge Zico spider was clinging to the ceiling and immediately swooped down towards her. She could only quickly try to dodge to the side, avoiding the sharp fangs covered in poison.

The poison of this species was not strong, not enough to kill a person, but it carried a paralyzing effect. Fighting alone against more than 10 spiders and being affected by this effect would mean certain death.

Because she reacted promptly, she successfully avoided the spider's surprise attack. It missed and crashed headfirst into the ground. Taking this opportunity, Livy quickly widened the distance, raised her bow and shot an arrow, killing the spider at its weakest defense.

'There are 10 more'

She once again focused her attention on the remaining 10 spiders. But as soon as she raised her head, a silk arrow came right before her eyes.

Livy didn't have time to react and could only slightly move her head to the right. The silk arrow grazed her left cheek and left a wound. The pain from the wound made Livy furrow her brows.

She looked forward once more and the scene before her eyes made her pupils shrink.

The spiders took the opportunity when she dodged their silk and charged. 10 huge and ferocious spiders like 10 bulls charged towards her.

This situation made Livy panic, she didn't have the ability to attack multiple targets. Especially when the spiders moved very irregularly and unevenly.

Without time to think too much, Livy could only do her best. She once again raised her bow and shot wind arrows, aiming at the ones in the lead. Her small legs jumped back and tried to create some distance.

*Pfft pfft pfft*

Three precise arrows pierced the heads of the three leading spiders, killing them instantly. Livy did not delay and continued to draw her bow.

Just as she was about to release the arrow, a large ball of silk shot towards her. Because she was too nervous, she did not have time to react. The silk immediately stuck to her hand and bow. No matter how much she struggled, she could not escape the spiders' super-strong silk.

Her pupils shrank as her only weapon was neutralized.

The spiders took this opportunity to rush forward. They wanted to quickly tear Livy apart.

She panicked and started to turn around, running at full speed. Her survival instinct did not allow her to give up here.

But it was not as simple as she thought, a large ball of silk shot towards her feet. It stuck her feet to the ground and caused her to collapse.

'Am I going to die here...'. Negative thoughts flooded into her mind like a broken dam.

"Anyone, please save me!!!". She screamed desperately.

*Thwick*
