Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

After finding out what the glasses were capable of, he turned his sight to the other items that still lay on the ground. First, he turned his sight at the purple gauntlets, and true to his thought the floating word began to appear in his sight.

[Raijin Gauntlets(Epic): Replica equipment worn by Raijin. Sturdy gauntlets that could produce lightning if injected by mana, and also could collect natural electricity in the atmosphere to exert greater power.

- Equipment Skill Lightning Rage(1X): A powerful strike that will have a strength equal to a thousand lightning compressed in a single point.

- Raise the strength Stats +50]

Soma's lips began to lift as he began to inspect the other item beside it. The details of the equipment he used to see in the game appeared in his sight and made his heart dance in excitement.

Equipment like weapons or armor in this world from what Soma knew was divided into seven types. From the lowest is Common, Rare, Unique, Epic, Legend, and Relics. The truth is there is another tier above relics who was accidentally awakened by the power of the protagonist. But, Soma didn't have a chance to see its power because he was transmigrated to the novel itself.

Common equipment, was used by a trainer and didn't have any boost or any special abilities that help the user. Rare grade will give the user a boost in stats in the range of 1 - 20. Unique grade will give the user a boost from 21 - 50, and both of these tiers were still considered low tier.

Entering the middle phase. There is an Epic grade, which not only gives the user a boost in stats from 51 - 100, on rare occasions. The equipment will also have an equipment skill that helps the user to stack their card in their sleeves.

Then thanks to his luck, Soma and Hina succeed in finding their first treasure box that contains an Epic grade equipment inside. That was considered rare even in the outside world.

[A set of high-grade potions]

[High-grade green potions can be used to heal wounds in a grave condition]

[High-grade blue potions could be used to replenish the depleting Mana up to 70% of the user capacity]

[High rade yellow potions could be used to replenish the stamina of the user up to 70% from normal state]

[A Scroll skill]

"Ahaha, this is crazy".

Soma couldn't help himself because of the amazing item that was attached to his face.

"What is it?".

Hina beside him who was curious, because of the elated expression Soma showed, opened her mouth. Soma turned his attention to her then took off the glasses he wore and presented it to her. She raised her brows but the curiosity got the better of her. Taking the glasses from Soma's hand she put them on, then her sight was filled with a detailed description of Soma's clothes.

"..Appraisal Item?".

"Yes".

The two epic items in their possession now were considered rare in the outside world. However, the Appraisal item was deemed more rare than the equipment that was used for battle or consumption. The reason is, that no one could make it even using the current technologies humanity has. Because the item could only be found inside the gate or dungeon.

There is also an Appraisal Skill that was sought in every country for its amazing ability to pry enemy status regardless of what entity they are.

"How was it?".

"This is incredible".

Hina answered Soma's call while observing the Katana in her hands. The corner of her mouth was lifted then she began to take off the glasses.

"Hina, keep the glasses".

"Eh? But..".

Soma, ignoring Hina's rebrutal began to store the small basket that contained the potion in his storage ring along with the Scroll, gold, and the jewelry. He stood up while struggling to put on the gauntlets on his own.

"..Stay still".

"Thanks".

Hina who stood up now closed the distance between them while trying to help Soma put on his new equipment.

"There, good to go".

Soma raised his hands and clenched his fists tight to test the feeling of his new equipment. He felt no abnormalities within it. The gauntlet was perfectly fit in his hands not too big and too small just the right amount for him to wear, the shell that protects his backhands has a white lining giving a touch of beauty in it.

"Here, you are the one who should keep it!".

Hina opened her mouth to bring Soma's attention to her side, presenting the glasses which had a rectangle frame in her hands to him. Soma shook his head and then said.

"I think it looks better for women to wear it".

"Huh? ..What?!".

Realizing what the meaning of Soma's words is, Hina gives a delayed response while stiffening her body. Her heart began to play a drum rhythm and it sent blood to her face giving her a slight blush. But, she soon releases an exaggerated sigh to calm her heart then she shoots a glare in his direction.

"..Okay I will keep it for now".

"Good, later at night we will distribute the potion in my rings. In case we need it while we explore the maze".

"..Okay".

Hina intends to store the glasses inside the storage she possesses, but Soma stops her.

"Wait, before you store it. Could you appraise the fruit that hangs on the tree there?".

"For what? Oh.. I see. Okay".

Putting back on the glasses, Hina with her sharp eyes and beautiful face, gives her a rather strict woman impression when Soma looks at her from the side. Hina walks slowly on the bridge approaching the tree.

[Enhached fruit: A fruit that grows inside the gate that is filled with concentrated Mana and it grows into a mutated fruit that has magical abilities. It will give some random status enhancement, for every bite the person has]

Upon seeing the description of the item. Hina opened her eyes wide, the fruit was mutated because of the environment they grew in and it was a type of enhancement food.

"..It's okay. In fact, it was an amazing edible fruit".

"Is that so? Good then".

Soma looked at the girl's profile beside him and saw her nodding her head. After confirming its safety. Soma made haste and began to climb the tree with skillful movement, in an instant he already reached the top, while Hina was absentminded looking at his figure who seemed rather used to climbing a tree.

One after another Soma began to store the fruit inside the storage with the ability to stop time. In the count of a minute, Soma succeeded in scavenging all of the fruit on the tree. He began to climb down while meeting Hina with a dumbfounded expression.

"What is the matter?".

"No, It's just,, you seem used to doing it".

"Well, yeah. Climbing has been one of my fortes since I was a little".

"No, I didn't mean to compliment you or anything".

They continued to scavenge all of the fruit that could be found hanging on the tree after being confirmed by Hina.

"All is done. Let's continue our exploration".

"Yeah, you are right".

With those parting words, the duo began to find another way to exit the place and resume their halted exploration, because of the treasure box and new food they found.

***

"Hina you go right I go left".

After issuing his command, Soma began to dash to the left side of the group of Kobolds in front of them.

"Okay".

Hina ran to her right she began to gather some Mana in her hands, preparing to unleash her fire magic to intercept any stray arrow that would come her way.

Soma and Hina now stand on the open wide space inside the trial gate while facing the same mob monster that filled the area, Kobolds. There are approximately thirty of them. From what they fought so far the group before them was probably the larger one in quantity.

In this tranquil atmosphere where the sky already shows their side of orange color, giving a warm hue across the landscape. With time begins to slow its pace offering a momentary peace before it changes into the night. However, it all shattered with the battle that unfolds amidst the tranquil place.

From the left side of the Kobold's formation, Soma charged while widening his view to intercept the incoming arrows. Then the Kobolds began to fire their arrows to make the two of them halt in their pursuit. But, with their current strength and experience, they easily dodge the incoming arrows while narrowing the distance between them.

Soma and Hina began to engage in a fight with the group, or rather a massacre because of the overwhelming difference in their strength. With each fist and swing by their respective weapon, one life perishes in the cruelty of the overwhelming power. They managed to obliterate the group in no time at all, and only left the scattering mana core on the ground that dropped from their death.

[You Level up!]

[You entered a Safe Floor]

"It's done".

"Yeah".

It's been two weeks since they first entered the maze and now they are already almost complete mapping the entire maze despite only a half of it. Along the way they encounter many monsters like earlier, and a couple of treasure boxes in their possession.

However, the treasure box they found couldn't compare to the one they found for the first time inside that oasis. The content inside consisted of a few potions of gold and jewelry for them to sell outside the gate.

"Let's rest around here".

"Okay".

After giving his suggestion Soma took something from his storage, two small chairs, and some food he had already prepared beforehand. He gave some of the food to Hina then they began to eat their meal in silence.

""Thanks for the food"".

Finished with their meal. Soma began to prepare some hot chocolate for them to enjoy their relaxing time.

"Here Hina, be careful. Because it's still hot".

"Thanks".

Seeing Hina take the cup from him. Soma began to take a sip from his own cup and savor the sweet taste of the sugar-filled cocoa in his hand. He put down the cup beside him and took the note he was currently working on mapping the area.

The map is half-completed, where it only fills half of the two-page notebook he currently holds.

"As I thought, the only way for us to continue forward was from the middle area where the Valliant Wolf was". Soma muttered in his heart.

Soma still didn't quite grasp how powerful a Rank-B monster is but the only way for them to continue forward was to defeat the wolf and go to the next phase of the maze. He took a look at Hina who was looking at the chocoa in her hands.

Hina, who noticed the gaze aimed at her, turned her attention to the side and opened her mouth.

"What is the matter?".

"..Hina, tomorrow we will face the Valiant Wolf".
