Magic Era: The great Dungeon

A girl was fighting some monsters somewhere on the 3rd floor.

This girl had red hair and looked to be seventeen years old, she was wearing high quality armor and holding a sword that she used to attack the monsters in front of her.

The girl dodged a claw and stepped back, drops of sweat could be seen on her forehead, and her armor was burned in some parts.

Gwrr gwrr

In front of her were three wolves that looked at her threateningly.

Trying to catch her breath she looked away from the wolves and looked behind them.

There was a small red slime, slimes were supposed to be blue normally.

If this slime was not an evolution then it could only be one thing, a variant.

Finding a variant monster was rarer than finding an evolution of this same one, and these were stronger and would have unique abilities depending on the variation.

The girl had been unlucky in finding this slime, when the slime appeared she hadn't given it much importance but when she saw it cast a spell she was surprised and acted quickly to dodge it, but even so the fire spell had managed to reach her a little.

If it weren't for the good quality of her armor her injuries would be more serious.

In addition she still had to deal with these three wolves, if the slime wasn't there she could defeat them with a little time.

She was thinking of making a retreat before this slime attacks again.

Suddenly a wolf jumps wanting to bite her while her two companions attack at different angles.

The girl dodges the first wolf and the other one on her right, but the wolf on her left hits the mark and manages to scratch her.

The claws collide with her armor without going through it.

(these annoying wolves)

The wolves themselves weren't that strong, the annoying thing about them was their teamwork.

The girl couldn't escape thanks to the wolves' interruption.

Just when she wants to get away again she sees the little slime conjuring again.

(this is bad)

The slime manages to finish his spell and throws the fireball at the girl, the girl closes her eyes waiting for the impact.

Boom

An explosion sounds but the girl doesn't feel pain, when she opens her eyes again she sees that the fireball had exploded halfway.

Inside the fire a powerful force stirs the fire around, when it is swept away the fire diminishes.

The girl manages to see a person inside the fire, until she clearly manages to see a boy who was enveloped by the remaining flames.

This boy was Nim.

Nim waved his arms as the flames on his body diminished.

-This hurts

Upon hearing the boy speak, the girl snaps out of her trance.

-Hey you, take care of those wolves, I'll take care of this slime- without waiting for the girl to respond, Nim lunges at the slime.

When he takes out his sword, he realizes that its sheath was charred and had become useless, while his sword had been damaged by the fire.

Seeing this, Nim decides to use his fists on the slime.

Nim gives the slime a strong blow, and upon receiving the impact, the slime explodes and dies.

Nim is a little surprised at how easily the slime died, it seems that its only strength was using magic, since its defenses were the same as a normal slime.

Nim was thinking of going back to help the girl, but he sees that where the slime died there was a small red sphere.

Nim wanted to investigate this sphere in more detail, but now he had something to do.

She turns around and heads to help the girl.

The girl who was now free of the slime's pressure, dodged the wolves' attacks while hitting her own with her sword.

Even a wolf had already been injured with a cut on its neck, seeing this she wants to land a fatal blow.

But before attacking she sees the boy she had seen stop the fire spell appear behind this wolf.

The girl is a little surprised to see the sudden appearance of the boy.

The boy strikes the wolf's head.

Crack!

The wolf dies instantly by having its skull shattered.

(What)

The girl is scared to see this scene.

Thanks to her background she knew things that ordinary adventurers normally wouldn't know.

She estimated that for someone to be able to kill these wolves with just their physical strength they would need to be a powerful warrior of level 15 or even higher.

Amidst his thoughts the boy continued to easily kill the wolves.

When everything was over, the girl looked at the boy in more detail.

The boy's clothes were singed and torn in several places, his skin that could be seen through the holes had burns of greater or lesser extent.

The biggest burns were on his two arms, he would have protected himself with these when receiving the spell.

To tell the truth, the girl was surprised that this boy was still alive.

She also felt guilty and grateful since the boy had blocked the spell for her.

-Nice to meet you, my name is Mirra, I am grateful for having saved me, I would like to know the name of my benefactor.

Mirra broke the silence and politely introduced herself.

-Hello, my name is Nim.

To tell the truth, Nim still did not understand why he had jumped without thinking to protect this girl even at the cost of hurting himself.

He simply could not stay still when he saw the scene of the girl in danger.

-Nim.. excuse me if it's inappropriate, but could you show me your level - Mirra was curious about this matter.

- If you like, I'll show you my level first - without waiting for Nim to answer, Mirra projected her card.

[Name: Mirra]

[Level: 9]

[Class: None]

(this girl) Nim is taken by surprise by the sudden interest in his level.

It must have been because of the strength he showed when he killed the wolves.

Since Mirra had already shown her level, he could no longer refuse, after that Nim projected his card.

Mirra, seeing his level, is surprised and thoughtful (only level 8).

His level was even one level lower than hers but he was already so strong, Mirra gives a new evaluation to Nim.

-That's fine, if you don't have any more questions, I'd like to treat my wounds and change my clothes.

Nim speaks when he sees Mirra who couldn't stop looking at him.

-ah.. yeah right, take this potion it will help you heal your wounds faster- Mirra hands him a small bottle, inside that bottle there was a red liquid.

Nim looks strangely at the potion, it's not that he hadn't seen a potion before, he had seen them in the stores he visited, he just couldn't buy it because of their high prices.

What surprised him was that the girl hadn't taken the potion from anywhere, it just appeared in her hand.

Mirra seeing that Nim gives him a strange look thinks that the latter is suspicious.

- This is a real potion, if you don't trust me I can take it first - Mirra begins to open the potion bottle.

- It's okay, you don't have to do that, I was just surprised that someone could give away a potion- Nim says a half-truth.

- Don't worry, you saved me in the previous battle, it's the least I can do.

Nim receives the potion and begins to drink it, the potion had a neutral taste.

After finishing the potion he feels some itching in many parts of his body and clearly sees that his burns are beginning to heal, even his arms that were the most injured were slowly recovering.

Some smaller burns even showed signs of healing completely, but after a moment the effects diminished and stopped.

(What a useful potion) Nim was pleasantly surprised by the effects of the potion, it had saved him time until his complete recovery.

Nim knew that thanks to his body having great vitality he could quickly recover from these injuries, it had always been like that.

While Nim was happy about the effects, Mirra looked strangely at the latter again.

Today this strange boy named Nim had shown him things that he could not understand.

This potion was supposed to heal him almost completely, but it had only healed some parts of his body and his arms had hardly changed.

Although the potion was a low-grade one, this should not happen.

It just means that Nim's body was special.

-Excuse me, could you turn around for a moment, I would like to change my clothes.

Nim says that when he sees that Mirra continues to stare at him

Nim was beginning to believe that this girl was strange, at first she behaved politely but little by little she changed her way of speaking and began to stare at him.

-yes..yes it's true I'm sorry- Mirra quickly turns around waiting for Nim to change.

Nim approaches her backpack that she had left in a corner and changes quickly.

-I'm done you can turn around.

Mirra turns around and sees Nim with other clothes, while Nim was changing she had made a decision.

-Mirra thank you for your potion, that's more than enough for having saved you, for now I say goodbye.

Nim turns around and begins to walk away for Mirra had already returned the favor.

-Wait a moment - Mirra stands in front of Nim.

-What's the problem- Nim answers when she sees Mirra obstructing her path.

-I would like to ask if you would like to join me as a group. You know, although it didn't seem like it in the previous battle, I am quite strong.

Mirra, seeing that Nim remains silent at her request, continues to name more of her strengths to convince him.

Finally, she says a phrase that finishes convincing Nim.

-I have a map of this level and the upper levels.

With that last phrase, a new group has been formed.
