"Looking for a healer! Must be at least [D] rank!"
"Tank, looking for a party, 20 [Endurance] and a [C] rank shield!"
"ROGUE LOOKING FOR A PARTY I DO GREAT DAMAGE"
Norn couldn't help but associate those cries with his MMO experiences.
It was almost the same, people praised themselves, wanting do raid a dungeon.
As for Norn himself - he didn't bother looking for a party...
Why? Well, because the moment he arrived he already had an eye on a specific person.
"This kid looks like a main character..."
He thought as he looked in one particular direction.
He saw a young guy, approximately 18 years old, who had a funny looking sword on his waist.
He wasn't exactly good looking, but gave a strange vibe to those around him.
What exactly was it? Norn couldn't tell, but he knew one thing for sure - for whatever reason this guy had a party full of girls.
"This guy is definitely a main character of this world, why else would he have 2 beauties near him?"
"More than that, by the looks of it one is a healer and the other one is a tank... It's just too coincidential."
The healer girl was a default-looking priest from a fantasy manga, she had a staff in her hand that just told others that it belongs to a healer.
As for the "tank" girl? Well, she had a giant shield and was somewhat small compared even to the "MC" guy, who himself wasn't that big.
At best, this guy was 170 cm, kinda weak looking but still strong at the same time, Norn didn't know to explain that in any other way, it was his vibe that made that impression.
However, Norn didn't look at them in that manner, he did however notice something...
"One is an older sister type, the other is a loli... The guy is just a default isekai protagonist..."
"Yeah, if those aren't the main party i dont know who is..."
Concluding his thoughts, he started approaching them.
...
"Marcus, cant we just go as 3?"
The tank loli had a somewhat bored expression on her face.
"We cant! Marcus is strong, but who knows if he's strong enough to solo this dungeon!?"
Healer girl replied instead of Marcus.
"Why are you talking for him!? Let him answer!"
She retorted immediately, it looked like she didn't exactly like this healer girl...
"Girls, chill out... Oyna is right, we cant just go in as 3..."
Marcus wore a weak expression on his face as he said it, pussy.
"Yeah, and how much longer are we going to wait for that 4th person!? You're not even looking for him!"
Tank loli retorted again, seemingly not fond of Marcus either.
Was she a tsundere, or just angry at the world?
However, just as she was about to say something else she looked at Norn who leisurely walked towards them.
"Yeah, right! This guy will do, he looks like a basement-dweller but who cares!"
As she said it she pointed her finger at Norn.
Right as she did so the rest looked at him.
Marcus wasn't exactly happy seeing that it's a guy who the girl choose...
As for the healer girl, Oyna... her expression didn't change at all.
Norn, wouldn't care even if it did.
"You people look like a dependable party, mind if i join? I overheard that you need a 4th person so here i am, a [D] rank mage."
He presented his [Hunter License] right as he said it.
The only person who was interested in it, however, was Marcus.
Two girls didn't even bother looking at it, as...
"Yeah, u're good, let's go!"
Tank loli immediately said and started walking towards the entrance.
"Glad to have you here."
Healer girl also went to the entrance.
Marcus, however...
"What skills do you have? It's my first time seeing you here..."
Norn's expression didn't change as he heard it, but his thoughts...
"The fuck does he mean? Is he a reincarnator or something? Fucking hell, what a cliche troupe this guy is on..."
Since the pause was already a second or so, Norn decided to say something...
"Well, i just got my hunter license and this is my first dungeon, no wonder you haven't seen me, i'm a nobody..."
He copied this guy expression from before, acted like a damn pussy he is.
It was, however, quite effective.
"Oh, so that's why! I'll take care of you, dont worry!"
Marcus's expression immediately changed as he heard it and he smiled.
That smile of his almost made Norn flinch.
It was a bit too scary.
Not because that Marcus guy looked devilish or something, but because he understood that this smile was a fake one!
"This guy is obviously a reincarnator, or i'm just thinking too much..."
He couldn't throw this thought away from his head as he read enough bullshit novels about such people.
Obviously, this girl was a future saint and the tank loli was either a villain he accidentally took in or just a tsundere rich girl or whatever.
Those things were just too common for Norn.
Soon, all 4 of them entered the dungeon after verifying their licenses near it...
...
As soon as Norn entered, he immediately saw some system messages.
[Welcome to [Auwiren's Playground]!]
[This is a [D] rank dungeon!]
[To close this dungeon, you need to kill the [Boss] of this dungeon, [Auwiren's Nanny]!]
[Highest contributor to her death will be rewarded handsomely!]
"Auwiren's Nanny huh? Never thought i'll be killing grannies for look, but oh well..."
"Also..."
He thought as he looked around...
"This place is..."
"Too fucking cool!"
He couldn't help but think!
It looked like a majestic fantasy-styled mansion!
It was as if the richest person on earth bought off every single architect and killed them off, that's why this place was so good compared to whatever he saw before, because the last living architect who knew what he's doing built it!
It was just that good!
He couldn't even imagine the pure genius needed to make something like this!
Not only the mansion itself was majestic, filled with different kinds of balconies that somehow made it look even better...
The garden, and even everything around them was just perfect!
"Okay, the moment i exist this place i'm stealing this architecture style."
"If i cant live in a place like this i better not live at all."
Honestly speaking - it was the first time Norn was amazed by something as stupid as a simple building...
He couldn't help but to!
Anyway, it seemed that people around him were as shocked as he was!
"This place looks nice..."
Said the healer girl...
"Nice? Bitch you better take that back..."
Norn retorted... in his mind, he didn't want to stir things up with those people...
"It sure does. Uh... Mage guy, what's your name, again?"
Marcus wanted to ask something, but remembered that he didn't even ask for Norn's name.
"Name's Norn."
As he answered he didn't bother looking at the MC guy, he was still enjoying the architecture around him.
It was just too perfect!
"Norn, do you know any [Radar] type spells or it's variations?"
Marcus asked with a kind smile on his face.
"[Radar] spells? What's that?"
Even before Norn could asnwer the tank loli asked.
"Oh, it's... uh... did you play games? Basically a map that shows you where enemies are, haha..."
His expression was weird as he tried to explain what he just said...
Norn glanced at Marcus, who looked somewhat ashamed...
"Yeah, this guy is definitely a reincarnator. A stupid one at that, probably his first time."
"Most likely he's from a "I'm weak but i've reincarnated so i'll become really strong and cool!" troupe..."
Norn wasn't impressed at all.
If he's correct, he had one more reason to kill him off, as he'll obviously be a pain in the ass.
Norn wasn't planning on getting any human girls for his glorious harem he already imagined that he had, but what if the guy had the same tastes as he does?
Killing him for that wouldn't be that big of a deal, Norn didn't want to get cucked after all...
"Well, i do know one, but i doubt this place will allow me to use it..."
Norn indeed knew a spell like that, the one that he learned from Erika.
It wasn't exactly useful here, why?
Well, because Norn already used it.
He didn't spot a single being here but those people around him.
"There are no living beings here, and my spell only works for them, sorry."
He shrugged it off, continuing to look at things around him.
"Okay... That's bad, but at least we know that we wont be fighting those!"
Marcus didn't mind it and immediately told others that their enemies weren't alive.
"Since this place looks nice, most likely we'll fight some sort of automatons. Those are dangerous so be careful please!"
He said as he looked at Norn wtih a smile on his face.
If Norn saw it, he'd probably feel strange.
Too bad, he was too immersed in architecture around him.
...
A minute or so of talking later they finally started moving.
Marcus explained some tactics that Norn didn't listen to.
It was obvious that he needs to kill something, why bother listening?
He had another thing to think about, it was...
"Why the hell would such a place be in a dungeon? I thought those are supposed to be caves filled with kobolds or goblins or whatever..."
He just couldn't understand the logic behind it, so he decided to ask...
"Hey, is this your first dungeon? Are all of them like that? Why does this place look like heaven?"
He looked at Marcus with a somewhat lost expression as he said it.
Marcus pondered for a second and then said...
"To be honest, i've seen dungeons like this one before, as for why this low-leveled dungeon is like that i dont know."
It was an empty answer.
Norn didn't like it, but asking where exactly this guy seen dungeons like this would be too obvious.
He pretended to be stupid, as if he didn't understand that his answer was incredibly strange considering that dungeons appear like a few months ago at best.
Norn didn't even remember when it all happened as he was just lost in time.
He didn't even know for how long he was in his goblin body or in the tower, for him more than a month has passed...
But how much time has passed for people that never left this world?
He didn't know and didn't want to ask, it wasn't all that important.
...
As they continued moving they didn't encounter any problems at all.
Not a single enemy, not a single trap or even anything that pose any danger.
As if this place was just an abandoned godly mansion.
If this place wasn't in a dungeon Norn would probably try to claim it for himself, he liked a bit too much.
"Dont you think that it's strange that we haven't encountered an enemy yet?.."
Tank loli suddenly asked, not looking back.
"It is strange, we need to be even more careful, it looks like this place isn't exactly a [D] rank dungeon..."
Hearing Marcus's answer Norn couldn't help but shrug a little.
"For fucks sake, if it's a fucking second awakening bullshit plot-armor dungeon..."
However, before he could finish his thought...
Something fell from the sky! Something big and heavy!
Dust from this things fall shrouded Norn's vision, but as he looked at the person that fell...
"Holy fuck i take it back, this place looks like shit..."
"Compared to her!"
He saw a beautiful girl in a maid costume!
[Please leave this place]
Was what she said.
Hearing that... nothing changed.
People from Marcus's group simply readied their weapons...
With the exception of Norn!
As he didn't even have one...
"Oh right... I forgot that i need a weapon or whatever... Oh well..."
He couldn't help but be dissapointed in himself once again, as it's not a first mistake that he made since he "came back".
First it was a shirt that he simply refused to wear for some reason, now he forgot that he actually needs a weapon to fight!
Well, to be honest, it's not that big of a deal.
Norn couldn't use a sword properly anyway, so why bother?
It's not like he NEEDED a staff to cast magic or whatever.
While yes, it was easier with one... But did he ever use it in the first place? Nope, so why use it now?
Casting something with your hands is way better than with a staff!
"Get ready! This puppet is strong!"
Marcus cried out loud as he looked somewhat scared.
Norn could feel an emotion from him...
It was [Fear]!
