A dungeon dive, yet nothing happens. I’m supposed to be the protagonist! What the hell’s going on?!
Then that beauty from earlier approaches me. If she’s involved, maybe she’s a major character.
And wow, she’s chatty. Potential heroine? But…… I kinda sense Maria vibes.
“I-I don’t have…… friends. It’s…… lonely, I guess……”
A loner, huh? Fine, I’ll humor her a bit. Don’t expect much—I’m the cool type.
Huh. Searching for her brother. Huh.
Then—EARTHQUAKE?!
“I-It stopped…… Lately, quakes happen so often…… R-right? Don’t you think?”
I was mid-boast when the ground shook! Poetic timing…… Rhyming’s important, y’know?
A protagonist’s moves should make you wanna chant their names. Oh crap, I zoned out—missed her whole spiel.
No events triggering…… But I know something’s coming. I’m the hardworking protagonist! This is my first dungeon!!
Then—LIZARD!!
Looks strong!
Huh? She attracted it? Pfft, Alicia, nice joke. Ha.
Obviously I drew it in—I’m the MC here.
Alright…… Battle start!
A worthy prey. I’ll trade blows for a bit—gotta hone my raw reflexes. New technique’s ready, but no rush. Bleeding’s fine.
Yep, bleeding now.
Traded some hits. Time to end this.
Haven’t named the move yet.
I’ll decide later.
But post-use, my arm’s wrecked—barely human. Demon’s Right Arm. “Demon Hand” has a ring to it.
Surely no panda would name it something lame like…… Fei Punch, right?
Arthur…… I haven’t forgotten. Somehow, my techniques ended up with cringe names like Snake Attack and Fei Punch.
Post-lizard, some hotties show up…… Who the hell are they?!

Diary
Name: Alicia
Today, I entered the Free City’s dungeon—the world’s largest, supposedly unlike any other. I went in confident, thinking I’d handle it easily.
I am talented. I know I’m strong. So I strolled in like it was nothing.
Then that rough-looking guy appeared. I couldn’t even apologize properly—sorry.
He seemed cold, but him asking questions was…… kinda nice. I almost liked him—
—until he terrified me.
Bleeding. Laughing. His right arm’s a mangled mess, but he doesn’t care. A straight-up monster. Scaryscaryscary.
That’s a rookie……? Seriously?! Her first dungeon crawl?!
Sorry, dungeon. Sorry, adventurers. I underestimated you. If that’s a rookie, and there are stronger freaks out there…… The Free City’s a hellscape.
Sorry for assuming everyone here was just a stepping stone.
Sorry, I’ll be humble now. That demon humbled me real quick.
But I won’t show weakness. I’ll keep pushing forward.
Can I…… really survive here? Worried…… No! I’ll endure!!! No weakness!!!
Oh right, after the Lizardman, that beauty duo talked to me, but Fei’s image burned too deep—I remember nothing.
I’ll write tomorrow. Sleepy now. Hope that demon doesn’t haunt my dreams…… Goodnight.

Fei’s reached the Free City!
Anonymous God 2
He already put Alicia’s little sister in her place!
Anonymous God 3
Fei’s the type to humble you immediately.
Anonymous God 4
Wait, so she was Alicia’s sister?
Anonymous God 5
Obviously. The vibes matched.
Anonymous God 6
Fei just gave all adventurers a terrible first impression.
Anonymous God 7
Poor Alicia…… “Fei’s a rookie!? There are MORE like him!? The Free City’s a nightmare!”
Anonymous God 8
No way freaks like Fei are common.
Anonymous God 9
She got gaslit instantly lol. Btw, who were those two at the end?
Anonymous God 10
I know! The exorcist siblings. Their dad had the Dragon-Serpent Demonic Eye, but his disciple stole it and killed him. The sister’s famous online for being thicc—thighs, chest, the works.
Anonymous God 11
Heh. Nice.
Anonymous God 12
The brother’s the “prince” type—Alicia’s reverse-harem material. Dude’s pretty.
Anonymous God 13
What’s special about the Free City’s dungeon anyway?
Anonymous God 14
One word: bad.
Anonymous God 15
Huh?
Anonymous God 16
Spoilers. But more importantly—Fei laughing while covered in blood? Low-key horror.
Anonymous God 17
High-key horror.
Anonymous God 18
Alicia’s too busy being Fei-traumatized to notice her “prince.”
Anonymous God 19
Fei’s too damn extra.
Anonymous God 20
Dude overshadows everyone.
Anonymous God 21
Might even eclipse past heroes.
Anonymous God 22
Well, they did say they were jealous of him.
