A NEET's Guide To The Parallel World: Healer, The Strongest Cheat? Chapter 5

My eyes opened and slowly, I came to my feet as the empty vial rolled across the ground .

“I’m- I’m not dead . ”

That’s right, somehow I was not dead, it seemed that the voice didn’t want to kill me after all . As I stood there I realized rather suddenly that, I wasn’t afraid anymore, more than that I could see . It seemed that my eyes had grown used to the darkness .

I picked up the torch and took a look around .

“Oh right, I haven’t opened this one yet . ”

There was one more chest left to still be opened . I rested my hand against it and gently pushed it open however, that was a mistake .

“Uhm… . . ” I was careless . “Uwaaa!”

Making a creepy sound the chest leapt forward .

“Aaaaaaah!”

It bit down on my arm intending to eat me . It wasn’t the same as being bitten by your pet dog, it sunk its fangs into me tearing away flesh .

It ate a part of me .
My sleeve had been ripped open and a large amount of blood flowed from my left arm .

“Haa……haa…”

It hurt, but right in front of my eyes a monster was carrying off a piece of me . Countless fangs had grown from the chest’s opening and it now had long thin legs that seemed completely out of place . That however, wasn’t the worst of it, the worst was it’s long creepy tongue .

I promptly spun around and ran back down the narrow pathways, my mind went blank as I continued to run .

“[Heal]!”

A green wave was emitted out from my palm healing the wound .

“s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t!”

The wound wasn’t completely healed with just one use, so I continued hitting it with [Heal] until there wasn’t much left of my MP .

“… . . it’s over . ”

I realized it then, this is truly where it was going to end . There was no way for me to oppose that monster when the only thing I could use was [Heal] . I don’t know how many times I can continue to use it but I’ve already had to use it countless times just to heal this wound, there’s no way I can continue healing myself the same way .

“What do I do what do I-……huh?”

Something on my status caught my attention, ‘inherent skill: revenge G.o.d’s mischief’ .

“What is this?”

I suddenly remembered talking to that ominous liquid earlier before I drank it and decided to check my status once more .

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Inherent skill: revenge G.o.d’s mischief .
The revenge G.o.d’s nostrum has been taken in and is expressed through this skill .
The inherent skill: mischief inversion {extreme} is included alongside this skill .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The explanation continued .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Inherent skill: mischief inversion {extreme}
Occupations, status, magic, skills, inherent skills, t.i.tles, and equipment .
This skill can grant or remove extreme inversion from anything . However when granted to the status, positive things become negative, should it be used on vitality the target will die . Therefore, it’s recommended not to use this skill on yourself .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The explanation itself was quite mischievous, I don’t understand the meaning .

“Well, should I test it out? I’ll apply it to [Heal] first . ”

“Inherent skills [revenge G.o.d’s mischief] and [mischief inversion {extreme}]have been triggered . ”

Right after deciding to use the skills a mysterious voice echoed in my head, and yet what was to come was even more amazing .

“The magic [Heal] has been inverted into [Erosion Wave] . The full report has been omitted . ”

What’s with the dangerous sounding name?
Erosion, nothing sounded cute about that, it was the complete opposite of heal .
I decided to take another look at my status .

Magic: Erosion Wave
MP cost: 3
A sphere like wave envelopes the user, anyone foolish enough to touch the wave is affected by the Erosion effect and deprived of their lives . The wave is expandable based on distribution of MP .

“Oh, I get it, the magic that gives life [Heal], inverts and becomes [Erosion Wave] the magic that takes lives . ”

Although it’s nowhere near the same level, it’s been taken to the extreme . I don’t know what level {extreme} is supposed to be but, isn’t this a cheat?

“I can defeat that thing now can’t I . ”

That’s the thought that crossed my mind .

“I should be able to use it at least for a short time . ”

My wound was completely healed now, so with torch in hand I turned back down the pathway .

“Let’s do this . ”

I arrived back in the room to find two chests lying open with the third one shut . It doesn’t seem like it can leave the room, so after a time it just returns to its original position .

“You’re just eating to survive right . ”

I wonder if adventures come here often but, more than that do monsters even need to eat? It’s an interesting question however, the answer doesn’t matter, because I closed in on the chest and activated my magic .

“Die! [Erosion Wave]!”

There was no hint of the original [Heal] attribute as the erosion sphere enveloped me .

“No way! This is inversion?”

Aiming for the chest I began to expand the creepy red and black sphere towards it, it revealed itself crying out as the magic closed in but was unable to move .

“Oh did you notice finally!? Well, how is it!? How is my magic!?”

The mimic flees to the corner of the room crying out as I unfold and expand my magic to chase after it .

“Don’t think that you can run! I’m taking my arm back!”

As it came into contact with the magic it let out a cry as it started to be broken down by the erosion .

“What kind of reply is that?”

Before I realized it half of the chest had already disappeared, it’s a fearsome magic . Soon after the mimic broke apart into small particles of light and disappeared .

“I won! Hahahaha . I won!”

As I laughed the announcement flowed through my mind, and a screen appeared before me as I wallowed in victory .

“For just a chest this thing had some good stuff . ”

An announcement echoed in my head again .

“[Mimic {treasure chest} level:500] has been defeated . The experience points are being distributed, you will now begin to level up . ”

“So it was a mimic after all, I mean I already new that though it’s a cla.s.sic . ”

A smell bell began to ding in my head as I started to level up and my status numbers began to rise .

“Hmm? Wait a second level 500!? There’s no way that thing was that strong!”

That’s just strange isn’t it? How could that thing have been level 500?! I was only level 1! However, the announcer didn’t answer my question and instead alerted my that my status had become rather strange .

“Experience point distribution has finished . ”

My status gave me gooseb.u.mps as I looked at it, it’s as though my life had just been set to easy mode . This must be my reward, my reward for enduring so much to get here, that stupid princess, Saeki, even when that mimic gouged out my arm I did my best without crying .

“If that’s the case then thank you! Of course, this could just be normal in this world…”

When I came to this new world I thought I would be happy, but as it stood I knew nothing about the world besides this creepy place I was trapped in .

“Saeki and Ichijo are only marginally stronger than me now right?”

Rather suddenly I felt quite empty .

“Maybe this is a benefit of the hero summoning as well . ”

Those guys were already monsters, even though I was supposed to be a hero, it’s frustrating .
As I sunk into dysphoria, I heard another announcement .

“Due to the level up, the magic [Heal] will now begin to level up as well . ”
“[Heal] level: MAX”

“Max? Is this normal?”

“You learned [Status Effect Heal]”
“[Status Effect Heal] level: MAX”
“You learned [Enchant]”
“[Enchant] level: MAX”
“You learned…… . ”
“Level… . . ”

The announcements seemed to continue on forever, this announcer must have been bored……
