What the hell is that?
――――――――――――――――――
The global inversion rate has exceeded 1%.
As the world inversion rate has exceeded 1%, the monsters will regain some of their original strength.
――――――――――――――――――
“――――What? “
Akira’s mouth dropped open in shock at the sudden appearance of the screen.
“World, Inversion Rate……? The hell…… No, more than that.”
――The monsters will regain some of their original strength.
Akira’s gaze was drawn to that sentence.
(Original strength……? Do you mean the monsters will be stronger?)
It would make sense if it was about the monsters that appeared in this world with each passing hour.
However, it would be impossible for a monster to become stronger over time once it appeared. Or rather, that’s how it should be.
(Then…… this isn’t like a game at all.)
That was when Akira couldn’t help but laugh.
“Gigiii!!”
It must have been lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opening.
With a deafening cry, a goblin attacked him, stone axe in hand.
“…!”
Quickly, Akira dodged the attack by leaping backward.
He then quickly readied his stone axe to strike back, but by then the goblin was already right in front of Akira.
“Gegyi!”
“Wha-!?”
Akira was surprised by its unexpected Speed and immediately tried to evade it again, but it was too late to do anything.
――Bash!
Akira’s vision shook along with the sound.
Akira quickly realized that this was the result of a blow by a goblin.
“Fuck, screw you!!”
This was probably because the Endurance value had increased compared to before.
The attack to his head did not cause any blood to flow, and Akira, in a fit of rage, fired a kick aimed at the goblin. The front kick caught the goblin in the belly and blew its tiny body away.
(Shit, I let my guard down!! No, it’s more than that, this guy…… seemed to be faster than usual―――― Oh, that screen that just came up!?)
That was the only thing he could think of.
No doubt, it was the influence of that screen.
Akira let out one click of his tongue and opened his mouth to stare at the blown goblin, first to see how strong it was.
“Analysis.”

(I knew it. Their level has gone up!!)
Akira clicked his tongue again when he saw the screen displayed before him.
So far, Akira had confirmed that the goblins were at level 3. All of them had low stats across the board, and although he had a hard time at first, now that he had improved his skills, Akira could deal with them without suffering a single hit.
However, the level displayed now was 5.
Perhaps due to the effect of the increase in levels, their status has also changed compared to what it used to be.
(World inversion―― the world will be turned upside down? So, the world inversion rate is the percentage of the other side― the other world― that has manifested itself in this world? If the monsters are strengthened by exceeding 1%, it means that the more the inversion rate progresses, the more the monsters will adjust to this world―― or rather, regains their original strength.)
Although he wasn’t certain, he was confident that it would be.
With this in mind, Akira sharpened his gaze.
(If so, is the appearance of monsters in this world due to that inversion rate thing?)
And it must be that inversion rate or whatever it was that led to such unrealistic things as status and skills.
(Our world is being invaded by a different world. The internet has been making fun of the idea that 『another world is here』…… but I guess they’re not quite wrong.)
Akira let out a slow breath.
Then he quickly pulled out his phone and checked the time.
(Afternoon, 12:03 p.m. That means that that screen appeared around 12:00 p.m. The monsters appeared in this world around midnight, so in …… half a day? That means the reversal rate will advance 1% in that time. If the monsters are going to be strengthened, then this is only the beginning.)
Akira put away his phone and looked at the goblin, who slowly stood up.
“I was caught off guard earlier……”
Saying this, Akira lowered himself with his stone axe at the ready.
“――――Don’t think I’m going to die that easily!! “
Akira shouted and ran toward the goblin at once.
The goblin, on the other hand, also prepared to intercept him with a ferocious smile on his face, like a hunter in front of his prey.
“Gehii!”
The goblin shouted and swung his stone axe at Akira, who jumped toward his chest―――
It was that moment.
“Ge, gi, gyii!”
Suddenly, the goblin seemed to pull back his ferocious smile, and then immediately his expression hardened, and with a rattling, shuddering body, he dropped the stone axe in his hand.
“Gi, gyi! “
Then the goblin sat down on the spot as if he had lost the power in his legs.
“……What’s this? “
It was too unusual behavior.
Akira involuntarily stopped and stared at the goblin, who was trembling with fear.
(What in the world? What are you scared of?)
The goblin’s fear-stained gaze was fixed on what was behind Akira, motionless.
Akira raised his eyebrows at this and glanced behind him once, but there was, as expected, nothing there.
(What the hell is this guy scared of?)
It happened once Akira had those thoughts.
“――――――――”
Suddenly, the air around him became heavy.
His heart jumped once, as if in response to the weight, and for no apparent reason, cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He found himself shivering and struggling to breathe, as if his lungs were refusing even to take air in.
The thick presence of death that surrounded him made his thoughts turn white as if they had burst, and unable to stand, Akira dropped down on the spot.
“Ah――――”
Even if he tried to stand up, he could not do so because his body trembled from the murderous sensation pressing down on him.
When he turned to look, the goblin, trembling with fear like Akira, was on the verge of fainting.
“――――No, it can’t be……”
The word “monster enhancement” and his worst nightmare began to race around in his head, and despair stained his mind black with despair.
While Akira was cowering in fear, that thing from the end of the alley walked with slow steps.
“Fushrrrrrrrrrr…………”
Seeing Akira trembling, this thing laughed.
That smile was a mocking grin, as if to say, there is no way you can escape from this.
――――――――――――――――――
This is the monster that previously defeated you.
A quest will be generated.
――――――――――――――――――
C-class Quest: Minotaur will start.
The condition for clearing the quest is to defeat the Minotaur.
――――――――――――――――――
Number of minotaurs defeated ０/１
――――――――――――――――――
――Ding.
The screen appeared with a light sound.
Staring at its contents, Akira felt the blood rush to his head at once.
“Stop with this crap!! This is absurd!! I thought quests were designed to be completed!! Such, such a thing!! ～～～～Don’t fuck with me!!”
Akira gritted his teeth hard and put all his strength into his body as he screamed.
Fear was drowned out by anger.
His body moved. If I want to escape, it’s now or never.
“…! “
Akira turned on his heel to get out of there.
It was at that moment that the minotaur made its move.
“Oooooooooooo!!”
With a shout, the minotaur’s figure faded away.
But by the time Akira realized what was happening, the monster was already right in front of him.
“――――Wh-!?)
Akira’s eyes widened at such a speed that was incomparable to what he had seen before.
And at the same time, Akira had an idea in his head that he by no means wanted to believe.
(No way, is this guy is just like the goblin……)
A bad feeling whirled through his chest.
Akira prayed desperately that his premonition would not be true.
“――A, nalisys.”
Akira forcefully put his trembling lips together and spat out that foreboding word.
At that moment, a screen appeared.

Immediately after, Akira muttered to himself as he looked at the displayed screen.
Akira’s body was then squashed like a soggy, ripe tomato.
