A NEET's Guide To The Parallel World: Healer, The Strongest Cheat? Chapter 6

As usual I was tormented by the darkness, in an RPG this place would probably be known as a dungeon .

“If it is a dungeon, shouldn’t I at least get some good drops?”

The only item I’ve even seen since I came here was the creepy liquid, other than that there’s nothing here! 

Wait, there was the torch .

In other words, I was still in my school uniform, a school uniform with a ripped sleeve .  

“I look like I’m just some highschool who got lost and started wandering around in the dark . This place could at least give me a change of clothes, and bring that b.i.t.c.h here . ”

By that I’m of course referring to Aries . I have no idea if that stupid princess is actually a b.i.t.c.h or not, but I feel like calling her that so I will .  

The conversations I was having with myself seemed to be growing in number .

A large iron door lied in front of me, it was unlike anything I’d ever seen with torches hung on either side of it .  

“…… . Something tells me this is the boss room . ”

In RPG’s a door on this level is a clear indication of an event .

I pushed on it to see what would happen .

“……” Nothing happened . “Well if it’s not a push door you know what they say it’s a pull doo- ……”

There’s nothing to pull on .

“Well that’s interesting . ”

I glanced around looking for a lever but didn’t see anything .

Isn’t there some kind of truck that when you pull down on a torch beside the door it opens? I thought this seemed reasonable but when I gave it a try the torch on the left broke .

Offended, I sat down .

“Wait a minute… . Haaaah, I am a special kind of stupid . I don’t have to actually ‘open’ the door . ”

Standing up, I walked back over to the door and…

“[Erosion Wave]!”

This isn’t a game, the answer was right in front of me . A hole big enough for a person to walk through opened in the door and light came pouring out .

“Well, this world’s magic is just all purpose isn’t it . ”

If this were a game I would have been stuck trying to find the proper key, so when I stepped into the room I was in quite a good mood .  

I wouldn’t say the room was pretty or anything, but I definitely preferred it to where I was before . It was a wide room with a tall ceiling and had candles lining the walls .  

However, that’s not what held my attention, from the time I entered the room there was only one thing I looked at .

A staff was left floating on a platform .  

“It looks like I’ve finally arrived . There’s no mistake here right?”

While erring on the side of caution, I continued until I was standing in front of the staff .

“Finally, I get some equipment and it’s a staff . ”

The staff was emitting a light as it floated on the platform .

“I mean, a magician needs a staff . ”

Suddenly, the ground shook violently .

“Wh, what’s going on!?”

A giant dropped from the ceiling, covered head to toe in knights armor . Rocks fell to the ground as it landed, fully equipped with a sword and shield . Overall, it was huge .

“Hey,hey,hey,hey! Come on, I just got to this world! Isn’t this a bit much!”

Sand poured down from the ceiling as the giant made its way towards me .  

“Wait! Wait!”

A large fissure opened in the ground thanks to the giant knight after it swung it’s sword down .  

“Kuu~”

Somehow, I managed to get out of the way at the last second . My body was left scratched by debris but otherwise I was unharmed . Had I been any slower however, I would have been left with much more than a scratch .  

“[Aura Boost]!” 

A purple aura covered my body, it almost felt as though I was wearing a wave . After maxing out both [Attack Aura] and [Protection Aura] these two combined .  

Magic: Aura Boost

MP cost: 50

Purple magic coats the body giving a boost to physical attack and defense .

I circled around behind the giant on it’s right side as it pulled out the sword embedded in the ground . The sword’s tip sliced through part of the platform .

“Aye! Watch out for the staff! You’re completely willing to destroy it aren’t you!?”

Whatever, it’s not like he understands what I’m saying anyway .

“[Erosion Wave]!”

The reddish black sphere sprung to life around me, I watched as it came into contact with the giant’s left leg . The magic erased it below the knee and sent the knight crashing to a stump it’s balance destroyed .  

“Well that was easy . ”

Before I noticed the giant had begun to spin on its stump brandishing the sword . Picking up speed, suddenly I was attacked by the tremendous wind pressure and sent flying by the sword .  

“Kuaaaa!”

Blood splashed on the ground, it was the first time in my life that I vomited blood .  

“I… . . think that was supposed to hurt a lot more than it did . Is this from the level?”

With no time to lie around in pain I tried to gather my strength, the damage leaving my body feeling heavy . I should have gone all out from the beginning, but instead I had become over confident with the ma.s.sive level up .  

“I’m going all out this time! [Erosion Wave]!”

The ominous magic sprung to life around me, extending outward to collide with the giant . The magic crawled up the knight, covering the top of it’s head, erasing everything as it went .  

“Hahahahahahahaha, I am awesome!”

Halfway through the erosion, the giant burst into tiny particles of light .  

“Looks like it’s over . ”

―”[Mimic {armored giant} level 400] defeated, [Inherent skill: G.o.ddess’s divine protection] activated . ”

The same announcement voice from the last time rang inside my head .

“Mimic? That thing was a mimic? Seriously?”

Who could have imagined that thing would have been a mimic .

“And it was level four hundred, how in the world was this giant monstrosity of a mimic, lower leveled than that treasure chest?”

The loot prompt appeared before me .

Skill: Mimic’s Life

Equipment: Advanced Knight’s large sword

Equipment: Advanced Knight’s shield

The equipment for an advanced knight, it’s hard to throw either of those away . However, skills can’t be replaced . No matter what game it is the fact remains, ultimately skills are necessary . Of course a strong weapon is effective but for me skills are more important right now .

Skill: Mimic’s Life

Disguise .

A skill possessed by high level mimics in rare situations, the user is capable of disguising their status .

This guy must have struggled too, I was weak enough that I could sympathize with the mimic .  

“Goodbye fantasy . ”

There’s now way any of that equipment probably couldn’t have been used by a healer, no matter how much I wanted it .  

“Skill [Mimic’s Life] acquired . ”

Choosing this wasn’t a mistake right? But the advanced knight stuff, that could have been me .  

“Leveling up . ”

Since coming to this world, this is the second time I’m leveling up .
