Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Soma, who acts solo from the other, is on a deep fourth floor. A vast and rocky space that bounced the sound of his feet, leaving a wonder of why the place was so deserted.

The last time he saw people was on the third floor. It was packed with young awakeners, many of them. He could spot a teenager just like him in a complete formation of a party, challenging two golems. What he expected for this was still the beginner's area.

After running for a few minutes, he found the stairs that led to the fifth floor, where the boss room was.

The floor was a bit different from the upper one. Its space was not as big as the one in the upper levels, and also it was currently empty, with no other souls beside him. The door was shut tightly to prevent the invaders from acting rashly, giving them a sense of foreboding and mystery.

[The raid is occurring]

"Crap, someone just entered the floor a moment ago".

One of the things that Soma didn't like in this world. The dungeon lacked a teleportation device to bring them toward the conquered floor.

In many of the stories he read about dungeons, some of them have that feature that makes the exploration much easier, but this world didn't have that feature. So, Soma and any other awakeners around the world need to be patient and have nothing to do besides waiting for the boss room to be cleared.

Soma could use his relic but doesn't know how much activation it had. Besides, he must have a clear picture of the surrounding area in order to use the item.

"Well, let's take a rest for a bit here, hm?!".

As he was about to rest his body, suddenly, his instinct skill flared up, albeit briefly. Reluctantly, he decided to observe the room, even its details, while waiting for the battle to end.

"Nothing of the sort".

After searching the room in minuscule detail, Soma sighed as he went toward the corner on the right side of the gate. He saw a relatively flat surface with a bit of crack on its wall surface, which seemed strange, unlike the other.

"Man, nothing interesting either".

However, as Soma decided to get away from the place, his instinct flared up again. A faint breath of the wind can be felt from where he is standing. Slowly, he turned back toward the wall and noticed on the crack that the dust was being spurted like pushed by wind.

"...No way!".

Soma's eyes began to light with the expectation that this was probably something that had never been found out or something that had just been born recently. With a new hope in heart, he placed his palm toward the flat wall, and with a slight knock, he noticed that the wall was thin and empty inside.

Without hesitation, he punched the wall, as it crumbled to ruins. Soma keeps showering it with his punches and kicks to destroy every debris that is still stuck on it.

In front of him is a dark path with a narrow corridor leading him to the under. Soma gulped his saliva as he cautiously stepped inside the place.

First, he entered the room. The dim faded, replaced by an artificial light that came from crystal chunks above. It gave him a clear visual of the place. The crystal that hangs above the ceiling lets out a light each time he goes deeper, welcoming Soma as he descends the stairs.

The atmosphere within the place was silent but filled with tension, which was something that Soma had never seen.

"This is?".

Soma finally reaches the base. He is facing a pretty wide rectangular room with a small altar on the innermost part of it. On top of the altar, which looked like a pillar made of stone, stood a transparent sphere that glowed with purple dots in the middle of it.

Soma carefully stepped his feet inside, but nothing happened, so he resumed toward the sphere. Slowly and keeping his gaze wary about traps.

As he kept getting closer, the glow in the sphere manifested. It was a deep purple hue with a touch of blackness around it that stung Soma's skin with its pressure.

Every time his feet got closer, the pressure was getting heavier, but Soma, with his current strength managed to hold on to his feet. But when he only needed ten more steps, his movement halted entirely because of the heavy pressure that was weighing him down.

"Kuh!".

The pressure was so heavy that Soma was struggling even to stand.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

[Extra Skill Adapt activated]

With clenching fists, Soma drew the devil's power and, helped by the skill Adapt, made the pressure more bearable. He took step after step, approaching the sphere that glowed intensely, adding more pressure to Soma.

However, Soma could deal with it just fine. He stood in front of the sphere and touched its surface. Its cold and smooth surface began to emit a last glow before it subsided.

[First Trial is over]

[Opening the second trial]

"What?!".

The ground beneath him started to shake, and the sphere in front of him began to be swallowed by the opening underneath it. Then, from that opening. A mechanism began to operate, and a massive door emerged from an opened floor. It stood in front of Soma, radiating a purple glow like earlier spheres.

Soma put his palm on the door's rough surface as it gave him a notice.

[Would you like to proceed to the second trial?]

[Yes or No]

"...Yes".

The door shone in purple before it creaked open, emitting a blinding light that swallowed Soma's whole, transferring him toward another place. Slowly, he fluttered his eyelids and found himself in a narrow, tall place that stretched more than kilometers far ahead.

"What in the world is this place?".

[Second trial Starting]

"What's starting? There is nothing here!".

From what he could see, the place was only a long, narrow path. However his instinct skill flared up, informing him of the danger. Soma observed the path in front of him as he realized one thing.

Soma scanned around him, and he found a small feeble behind him. He threw the feeble into the path, and in an instant, the ground opened up, letting out a sharp spike. On each side of the wall, it shot dozens of poisonous arrows.

"As I thought".

The traps who went out began to return to their place once more. Soma calculated the distance and the situation he was in.

[Martial Saint First Techniques Three steps of Heavenly Lightning Tribulations]

"First steps - Lightning scatter".

A jolt of hundreds of bolts burst forth from his skin, enhancing his speed into hundreds of folds. Soma inhaled a deep breath, preparing himself to face the trial before him.

"Three, two, ...".

A boom resonated as Soma walked in the air, preventing his feet from reaching the ground. True to his thought, the traps were only triggered if he made contact with the ground. This trial is a bad match for Soma.

Within just a couple of seconds, Soma arrived at the innermost part of the trial, where a massive twin door awaited him. On each side of the door was decorated with a picture of a giant golem with its heart gleaming in red and purple color.

[Final Trial]

Soma, who put his palm on the door, received the notification regarding the trial.

[Do you want to attempt the Final Trial?]

[Yes or No]

"Yes".

He has already come this far and is also curious about what kind of trial will await him on the other side.

The thick and massive door was letting out a rumbling sound that shook the ground beneath him. Its surface was blocked by a thin layer of Darkness to prevent the invader from seeing the inside.

"Wait a minute. I forgot something".
