I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

Think of Dungeons from those stories you've read, or the anime you've watched.

Labyrinths were the same in the world of T.W.T.S.S.

There were a few of them around, but the majority were situated in Demon territory.

Labyrinths were natural structures—like volcanos, glaciers, and whatnot, in my previous world.

The only difference was that they had a high concentration of Monsters.

As a result, several valuable resources, as well as rare types of plants and rocks could be found within.

Of course, this Mana-rich atmosphere would also attract monsters, so several of them made the place their haven.

As a result, Adventurers had to explore Labyrinths and slay monsters, while retrieving treasure or gathering herbs.

Mana Chalk and Mercury were also stuff that could be found in Labyrinths—which was why I was going, in the first place.

But why did the chick in front of me want to tag along?

'Anyways, it doesn't matter. The System sees it as a Quest, and this could be my chance to get more benefits.'

I had no choice but to accept her request.

"Thank you very much! I promise not to let you all down!" She bowed to her seniors and me.

Byron and Sarah were both A Rank Adventurers, by the way. They didn't start out that way, but by climbing up the ranks, they worked their way there.

'I heard Lucy is one of the only three S-Class Adventurers in this place. I didn't know she was that much of a hotshot.'

Anyways, I, Sarah, and Byron, all had higher Ranks than Asa, so she had to show some degree of reverence.

"That's fine. We don't have all day, so let's go." I snuck in that cool line and stared far into the distance, trying my hardest to look profound.

Using [Insight], I noticed the reverent gazes of my three allies—clearly, it worked.

With that said and done, we walked resolutely to our destination.

****************************************

The only Labyrinths within the borders of the City Of Adventurers was The Great Helios Labyrinth.

It had the appearance of a couple of intersecting mountains that crossed each other in slanted positions.

Their bizarre postures, as they were clustered, was called the monument—or more aptly the entrance of the Labyrinth.

The bent mountains glimmered in the sun, like glass, and they weren't too tall, so I could see their peak quite easily.

'We won't be hiking, though…' I smiled, looking beyond the sharp clusters of glowing rocks and easily spotting the hole that served as the entrance to the amazing place before us.

"Let's go."

Following my lead, my three Party Members forged ahead as we entered the luminous space that seemed like a different world—sort of like a glowing cave.

But, this was simply a preamble, not the main thing.

Just like Dungeons, Labyrinths had structures akin to Floors.

The difficulty of this Labyrinth ranged, depending on what layer you found yourself in.

From the Starting Floor, which was the easiest, Adventurers would proceed deeper into the Labyrinth—sometimes climbing up, other times descending.

This Labyrinth in question was the type where one had to descend to progress, making the easiest Floors the ones that were closer to the surface.

Of course, this was all information I knew thanks to the Original Novel.

While it didn't give me much to go on, story-wise, I was familiar with important monuments like this one.

The MC of the book, Damien, actually spent some time as an Adventurer, so he alluded to this place many times.

'There was even a flashback scene where—' My trail of thought was interrupted as I spotted some Mana Chalk growing at some parts of the wall.

'Ah, so this place has it in abundance…'

"These ones are of low quality and have hardly grown two centimeters. We'll find better ones as we proceed." Sarah said, noticing my gaze.

"Ah, I see. Alright, then." I said, nodding sagely.

And so, we proceeded.

****************************************

We encountered a few enemies as we trod down the path before us.

Most of them were low-class Monsters, they were barely a challenge.

From Spider Monsters, to Rabbit-like man eaters—each Layer had creatures that made the area their habitat, and since they procreated really fast, it was impossible to get rid of all of them.

The only thing Adventurers could do when they encountered Low-Class Monsters was to either ignore them, or cut down the ones that were a bother.

Of course, this only applied to Monsters in the single-digit Layers.

From Layer 10, things got substantially more difficult.

So far, no Adventurer had ever gone beyond the 17th Layer, so it was that crazy.

'Well… that's not our concern. Tops, we'll need to get to the 9th Layer to get a good concentration of Mana Chalk and Mercury. I'm willing to chance 10, but that's about it.'

Nothing dangerous would proceed out of this mission, so it was all good.

Once we arrived at the Seventh Floor, we got our hands on a Mercury reservoir. In this world, Mercury could be found by excavating rocks and extracting the Mercury flowing within.

I didn't know how it worked in my previous world, but that didn't matter, did it?

An easy way to distinguish the rocks that had Mercury within, and those that didn't, was their color.

They had the same color as mercury, and their oily glow stood out well enough.

​ The Labyrinth had a luminous structure, so there was no problem with seeing clearly.

Since our enemies this time were simple scavenger Rat Monsters, we were easily able to secure a sufficient reservoir of Mercury. While harvesting, I noticed Asa's gaze on me.

No, I had observed it ever since we started the adventure—if this could be called that.

'Is she bored? Does she expect me to do something fancy? Haa, what a bother…'

The System hadn't announced the Side Quest to be complete, but even if it failed, there was no consequence, so I wasn't too bothered.

That was why I accepted the Quest, to begin with.

I wanted to get things over with quickly.
