And this 'Chekhov's Gun' will fire, in much later chapters.

Spoiler: About "Dungeon"

Later it will be explained that this particular dungeon is incomplete, for some reasons its only small hole instead of cavern. So monsters crippled:

• In a first chapters(as well as this) it was explained (and partially shown) that slimes on top immune to physical attack a VERY faaaaaaast and they cannot show they best abilities.
• When monsters leave the dungeon aka small cave inside HOLE they start to 'suffocate' magic rapidly drained fromtheir bodies,
• on top of that being incomplete dungeon cannot provide sufficient amount magic to sustain monsters (theorized that slime can be even bigger)

So in result we got oxygen deprived fighter specialized in speed and "hit and run" tactics stuck in 'ventilation shaft'. Our boy is very lucky to be alive.

That had been my personal theory as well, on top of that I also theorized that what we are seeing are not their actual bodies but some sort of downgrade because they aren't really in a dungeon but a small cave. I mean imagine if that "dungeon" spawned a dragon, going by the theory I had that would mean that the dragon would be downsized to fit the dungeon, maybe even changed into another species.

this mc realy has birds for brains.....thinks his mana level is still zero while being able to transform all the way he did....everyone else would have realised that there must be something wrong with the mana detector.

This is cool and all but he still has no aim in life.

I can see that the reader is being lead to think that he’s missing out on a romantic connection because his two childhood friends are going off into the sunset together without him but we don't have any proof that he actually cares about that though.

Presumably he’ll use this power for something that impresses the female CHF, but his other friend isn’t even a bad guy (from what we can see so far), so is it just childish jealousy that will drive him in the end? If so, lame.

probably but it doesn't necessarily have to be all a romantic matter. I think the feeling of having now aim in life is a big enough conflict to deal with without relationship drama, especially when you watch your friends chase their dreams.

That said, it's not like there isn't a way to deal with that feeling. Not everyone can start from DECIDING what to do and then PERSUING it. Some of us have to pursue and then decide. Just move forward with what you can and take the opportunities and experiences you get along the way until you naturally settle into something. If you're unsatisfied, then maybe you've been ignoring opportunities. That's journey enough to make a good story. I know it's supposed to be so that he shares that sense of malaise and listlessness that a lot of us are feeling but that feeling comes from lacking such an obvious call to destiny like he's getting here. The friends seem to have their direction only because they paid attention when they got their call. They saw/experienced something and realized, "yeah, this is something I can do to give my life meaning, to have an impact." Meanwhile, he got these powerups thrown into his backyard and transformed into a monster basically and he's like, "hmmm, I wonder what I'll become in the future...maybe a chef...nawww."

Stupid 2 digit reader

Yeah, but nah. He did goto the blue dungeon and use their advanced machine. It also reported 0s and then promptly spit out the rest of the paper in the tray. Honestly the only reason they couldn't analyze the MC is manga logic.

 

[Grikath]

Aight... Next candidate up for Demon Lord is.........

 

[JustAFish]

His diet consist of rice and rocks, that's rad.

Like the others are saying here, the premise is quite promising, but if this mc without motivation keeps going on like this happy go lucky without purpose i might drop this soon as well

[MrKinneas]

I found this and love it, but can't wait for more.

For anyone else like me, Chapter 30 of the WN is where to start after this chapter.

This one has some potential. Looking forward to seeing where it goes
