第三話 城壁レベリング
翌日、俺は都市ロンダルムの近隣にある森へと来ていた。
ここには手頃な強さの魔物が出没すると事前に確認していた。
なるべく街に近い浅い場所を徘徊しておけば、万が一の事故が起きることもないだろう。
こっちは【Lv:1】なので、その手の事故は何としてでも回避する必要がある。
まずは低レベル帯を抜けないと話にならない。
城壁作戦でレベルを上げさせてもらおう。
「ゲコッ! ゲコッ!」
しばらく森を歩いていると、早速魔物が現れた。
青いぬめぬめとした身体を持つ、全長一メートル程度の魔物......ラーナである。
鳴き声から察する通り、カエルをモチーフとした化け物だ。
魔物:ラーナ
Lv :2
HP :7/7
MP :3/3
〈ステータス〉には、対象の簡単なレベルとHP、MPを確かめる力もある。
他のステータスやスキルはわからないが、レベルだけわかれば大体は見当がつく。
「ゲコォッ!」
「〈城壁返し〉!」
鎧が輝きを帯び、ラーナが吹き飛んだ。
向こうの方がレベルが上であったにもかかわらず、ラーナは身体が弾けて手足が飛び散った。
頭にメッセージが響く。
無事に初のレベルを上げることができた。
「......しかし、こうして見るとえげつないな」
重騎士の攻撃力は低い。
何なら〈初級剣術〉にスキルポイントを振っていれば、普通に殴り負けていた可能性も高い。
余計な体力を使えば、今日稼げる経験値が減少する。
効率的にサクサク行こう。
潰れたラーナの死骸の肉が溶け、青い石だけが残っていた。
「【Lv:2】の魔石......安いだろうが、まあ今は確保しておくか」
俺は青い石を拾い上げたとき、後ろから慌ただしい音が聞こえてきた。
「たすけっ、助けてくれぇ!」
振り返ると、こちらへ走ってくる、剣士の男が目についた。
「冒険者か」
あまり狩場で冒険者同士がかち合うのはよくない。
魔物の群れの擦り付けはマナー違反もいいところだが、自身の命が懸かっているのだ。
仕方のないことだろう。
「俺に任せろ」
「おっ、お前! ほ、本当に行けるのか? あ! そんな身なりで、実は名の通った冒険者だったり......!」
「実はさっき、生まれて初めてレベルが上がったところだ」
俺が正直に口にすると、剣士ががっかりと肩を落とした。
「だ、駄目じゃないか! 俺より全然弱っちいじゃないか! 新人があんな数の魔物捌けるわけないだろ! よ、鎧脱げ! そんなもん装備してたら、逃げられる相手も逃げられなくなるぞ!」
俺は剣を後ろに下げ、ぐっと身体に力を入れた。
「ゲェェェェエエエッ!」
【経験値を3取得しました。】
【レベルが2から3へと上がりました。】
【経験値を4取得しました。】
【レベルが3から4へと上がりました。】
次々に俺のレベルアップを示す声が響いてくる。
ものの二分で、辺りは青いラーナの体液塗れとなっていた。
【レベルが7から8へと上がりました。】
あっという間に【Lv:8】になってしまった。
【称号〈不動の者〉を得ました。】
ついでに称号を手に入れた。
何らかの条件を達成したことを称えるためのものである。
〈不動の者〉【称号】
攻撃行動を取らずに十体以上の魔物を討伐した証。
静止状態での防御力を【+10%】する。
これでまた〈城壁返し〉の発動条件を満たしやすくなった。
称号はスキルやスキルツリーを得る条件になることもある。
「ふむ、順調だな」
システムに関しても、今見た限りは〈マジックワールド〉と同一と考えて問題なさそうだ。
「た、助かったが......お前、何者だ?」
「命の恩人に酷い言いようだな」
俺はそう言いながら〈ステータス〉を開き、確認を行う。

Ch 3
The following day, I went to the forest close to the city of Rondalm.
I have confirmed in advance that demons of moderate strength have appeared in the said forest.
If you wander deep in the forest, there would undoubtedly be accidents. So in order to avoid such things happening, I only went to shallow areas that are close to the city.
I'm still [(Lv:1)] after all, that's why I need to avoid being in danger.
First, we need to get out from being low-leveled in order to talk about going into deeper places.
Let's now start the rampart leveling operation!
{Geko! Geko!"} 
After walking through the forest for a while, a demon had immediately appeared.
It's a blue, slimy demon about 1 meter long...  called Laana.
And yes, as you can guess by how it's croaking, it's a demon with a frog-like appearance.
Demon:Laana
Level :2
HP :7/7
MP :3/3
<Status> also had the additional power to confirm the target's HP and MP in a simple display.
I don't know about its other stats or skills but, if I know its level, I can have a rough guess about how strong the said demon is.
{Gekko!} 
"<Rampart Return> !"
My armor shone and blew the Laana away.
Despite the fact that the Laana was higher in terms of level, its body exploded and its limbs were scattered everywhere.
Messages indicating my level ups rang through my head.
Good thing I was able to raise my level for the first time without any incidents.
"Still, this is such a gruesome sight.."
Heavy Knights have a very low attack power, so if I fight using the normal method, my attacks will hardly deal any damage and the fight would then turn out to be a mudslinging contest.
If I had allocated my skill points on <Novice Swordsmanship> , there is a high chance I would have lost the fight.
The more stamina I spend fighting today, the lower experience points I could get, causing me to not level up better.
Let's do this efficiently.
The remains of the exploded Laana had melted, leaving only a blue stone, which is a mana stone that has the water attribute behind.
" A [(Lv:2)] mana stone, huh.. This is cheap, but let's keep it for now."
As I picked up the blue mana stone, I heard a hurried noise coming from behind.
"Hel..Help! Help me!"
I turned towards where the noise was coming from and saw a swordsman, around the same age as me running towards my direction.
"An adventurer.."
For the adventurers, bumping into each other in the same hunting ground wasn't good and would only lead to unwanted troubles.
To push an aggroed flock of demons towards someone is an extremely bad manner, since not only the aggressor but someone's life would also be in danger.
Welp, seems like we've got no choice but to do this..
"Leave them to me." I walked ahead and passed the swordsman.
"Y-you! Can you r-really do it? Ah! With a getup like that, you're actually a well-known adventurer, aren't you?"
"Nah, in fact I just had my first level up a moment ago."
The swordsman's shoulder dropped when those honest words came out of my mouth.
"T-then it's impossible for you! You're even much weaker than I am! There's no way a rookie like you could even handle that many demons! J-just run away! Take off that armor as well since it would only slow you down!" The swordsman tells me so as if in a hurry.
When the near dozen Laanas jumped together at me, I slid my sword behind my back and put all my strength into my body.
{GEEEEEEEEH!} 
[(You have gained 3 experience points.)] 
[(Your level has increased from 2 to 3.)] 
[(You have gained 4 experience points.)] 
[(Your level has increased from 3 to 4.)] 
Floods of voices indicating my level ups rang through my head.
Within just two minutes, the area was already covered with the Laanas' bodily fluids.
[(Your level has increased from 7 to 8.)] 
My level had already increased to[(Lv:8)] in such a short amount of time. With this, my available skill points should have increased to[(7)] .
[(The title<Immovable One> have been acquired.)] 
Additionally, I have gained a title.
Titles are, basically, some kind of proof that you've achieved the requirements of certain conditions.
<Immovable One> [(Title)] 
Proof of having achieved the condition of defeating 10 or more demons while not taking any offensive actions.
Increases overall defense by[(+10%)] when in idle state.
With this title, it makes it easier to fulfill the conditions when activating my skill<Rampart Return> .
Titles can also be a condition for gaining new skills and skill trees, so it is recommended to actively collect them.
"Fumu, it's all going well so far."
As far as I can see, this world's system and the <Magic World>'s system seem to be identical, so there's no problem.
"Y-you've saved me, but... Just what are you..?"
"That's a horrible thing to say to someone who just saved your life."
I said those words as I opened my <Status> to confirm the changes.
